....just about anything I find interesting, even if I don’t happen to agree with everything in the article. This one has a bit of left leaning to it. I can overcome that simply because I am a free thinker, but I still like the article as a whole. Let me know what y’all think about this. I have already witnessed some of it, especially the advertising.

This is the hidden content, please

I ve read half of it will finish later. 
 

that’s why I don’t watch much tv or pay attention billboards. 
Gimmicks don’t influence me or my decisions

even the music I listen to I’m very picky about because constantly listen to certain lyrics over and over can change you 

environmental influences that are constant and repeated will change a person.

thats why I stay out in nature as much as possible and leave the electronics to others.  If it wasn’t for my wife I wouldn’t even have a smart phone (going on 2 years)  and I’m probably younger than half of the posters on here maybe more

Nature and the Bible is all I need the rest is just fat and sugar

" We can do it locally in our communities, in what organizations we support, what truths we tell, and what events we attend. And we can do it nationally in our government, in which leaders we vote in and to whom we give power. If we want cleaner air, we can make it happen. If we want to protect our doctors and nurses from the next virus — and protect all Americans — we can make it happen. If we want our neighbors and friends to earn a dignified income, we can make that happen. If we want millions of kids to be able to eat if suddenly their school is closed, we can make that happen."

 

Translation-  Bigger government can make all this happen.    I hope none of you falls for the "suggestion" that poverty can be eliminated.   It exists, to some extent everywhere.   The "promises/suggestions" listed above are quite similar to what Venezuelans were told not that long ago.

Like I said, I didn’t agree with everything. Still a good read. In any article, you have to wade through the BS.

No need to finish it. I read it. Threw up. Read it again to fully understand it. Threw up again.

Lol. Rather than throw up, I try to digest it in order to see the angle. I can always disagree.....like I did.

I was more interested in the commercial side of it. We are already experiencing it. Just saw a Weather Tech Mat commercial. I happen to own a set of these mats and think they are fantastic. Now their commercial talks about the safety of their mat due to the non-porous surface, which can hold germs. Please, enough already. Like the article said, get ready for it.

Yep. Wasn’t throwing any shade. The guy writing it needs to go drown himself though. He was doing what he is accusing everyone else of doing. 🤮

      Assassination attempt on Trump - take 2

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Nah… to be completely honest, I think it goes like this.  I’m split on it.    Part of me says that there’s a segment of voters who believe that trump should be the ruler, whatever that means. It’s about 25% of R voters according to polls. They’re the hardcore Trump loyalists… the kind of people who would travel to DC in the winter to hear Trump speak at a rally, then ransack the Capitol… maybe trump doesn’t believe his own “you’ll never have to vote again” rhetoric-but he’s just throwing red meat to the fascism supporting minority of the R party. Kinda like he does when he says racist crap to fire up the minority of his followers (cough, Baddog, cough) who really don’t like brown skins or foreigners. You know, Trump doesn’t really want unilateral power, he just needs to whip up his voters who think he should have unilateral power. It’s possible, right? Then the other side of me sees who he was willing to say or do ANYTHING to remain in office, even after it became obvious that he didn’t have the votes. The fact that he refuses to accept reality as late as the debate last week makes me think, “no… this guy is the real deal, willing to do ANYTHING to get back in office and then willing to do anything to keep it and/or hand it off to his heir apparent.     Over time, things have ping-ponged back and forth between monarchies/fascists who get overrun by the masses, then that form of government (populist) erodes to the point where a strong man seizes power.  I think we fought off socialism/communism as a republic and in 2024 we’re fighting off a facist-style movement where enough of the population has enough faith in one leader to give them absolute power.    But that’s just my opinion. Trump and his hardcore followers (the ones who aren’t in prison for their 1/6 activities represent the biggest internal threat to our democracy that we’ve seen in my lifetime.  The fact that it’s originating from “my” side is what’s particularly troubling to me. I would have expected the left to converge around a popular leftist, not the right.

      Trump to appear on Fox News Channel's 'Gutfeld!' Wednesday night

      I don’t tune in all the time, but I do like Kat. I’m know the studio audience and tv audience enjoyed the show.

      Lufkin Panthers (2-1) @ Tyler High (2-1) @ CTMF Rose Stadium, Friday, September 20, 2024 at 7 PM.

      It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊
