Columbia Univ. Jewish students having their Passover in the protest encampment- Video enclosed "Inside the Seder dinner on Columbia's Gaza protest encampment" https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/us/video/seder-passover-columbia-university-protests-ny-digvid

Im positive me and a busload from Chi-town were out there on one of those weekends with you. Marching, rallying, protests and picketing are relished memories from the those long 8 years that the "Bush The Lesser" regime occupied the White House. Whether it was opposing the Iraq invasion or fighting for a fair labor contract I had a bullhorn or home made picket sign ready to go. People saying its pointless is funny, it filled my esteem with light during those long dark days when Cheney and Rumsfield were bombing the shit out of the cradle of civilization. My conscious was clear in opposition and that was priceless to me, far from pointless.

Seasoned protesters recognize the Black Bloc Anarchists among them and understand they can draw a disproportionate amount of media attention. I usually tend to land heavily on the side of the street protestors, they arent driven to action till theyve been grievously wronged in the majority of instances. The fact that a few anarchists relish getting in on the ride and are seeking publicity doesnt dissuade me from seeing the overall good from standing up to and countering the power structures and misguided decision makers that have made the conditions necessary for the protests in the first place. In other words you have to leap over a shit ton of guilty party to point out or call out the protestors in a lot of cases. They get my benefit of doubt, few bad apples aside.

Damn straight it needs to eventually be handed over to the Ukranians, in the form of reparations for Putins war crimes.

I really think this ( stripping felons of SS protection) is a good idea that should be enacted. The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony. https://democrats-homeland.house.gov › ...

Im having a hard time seeing anything slowing the Celtics from reaching the Finals.

Okay I made up that last post Sue me!!!

Having soured on Kanye after his Kim K breakup, Trump has his eyes on a new hip-hop buddy. Apparently Trump has been strongly considering adding P-Diddy as his running mate based on Melania's affinity for his music. The pea brain runs strong in the Trump clan.

I was recently reading about some of that persecution of the Baha'i in Iran. They were bulldozing cemeteries and attempting to erase any cultural trace of some Baha'i communities.

Sure, but I think theres a plethora of terrible "modern" commercial building crud that is only designed to be economical, quick and durability, aesthetic beauty and artisan crafting is skipped for efficiency. Thats the big concern that people do not want, they are crimes to architecture when considering the care of something like a cathederal or castle restoration. We dont want sheets of shitty gypsum replacing plaster and spackel work, we dont want chinese pre-fabbed panels replacing master craft mason work, we dont want some shitty vinyl resplacing beautiful copper cornice entrances and julian awnings. You can go cheap or you can go correct with integrity. Im confident the cultural heirs of things like the Fredericksburg Castle will come to the correct conclusions and kindly ignore the efficiency over quality pressures. God I hope so anyway.

The simplest explanation to me for the red state Trump and Putin worshipers is that they hate America, they hate diversity, they hate the melting pot and they relish harm coming to 60% of the rest of country that arent MAGA mind diseased. They barely hide the harbored desire to just kill us off and be done with it. Given the mindset, the Putin/Trump lust makes perfect sense.

The disgraced Jontay Porter catches a well deserved lifetime ban.

A heart breaking loss of cultural relics as awful fire roars through a Copenhagen landmark. "Spire collapses after fire rips through Copenhagen’s old stock exchange" https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/16/style/copenhagen-old-stock-exchange-fire-intl "Denmark’s Deputy Prime Minister, Troels Lund Poulsen, called the fire “our own Notre Dame moment,” referring to the blaze that destroyed the roof and spire of the Paris cathedral, five years ago almost to the day."

New Wisconsin????

You should get the final series shot yet if your last one was the bivalent. The latest and best protection is the covalent shot which is the upgrade from bivalent and more encompassing against the waning possibilities the bivalent shots were having over time.

Sunny weather has finally visited Northern Wisconsin and that means grill season! I smoked a plump Pork Loin and it is fabulous, have been slicing off moist slices and enjoying with veggies.

Just out of curiosity, did the victims families ever collect on the full civil case fines OJ incurred? At that time I half remembered there was a lot of controversy over OJ pleading broke from attorney fees and lost endorsements. Kind of wondering whether the Goldman and Brown families are still entitled to any of OJ's estate?

Just give all your money to that dear sweet cheerleader Lara Trump. She rates the DJT stock as a Very Strong Buy, Buy, Buy!

This cant be repeated enough.

So Iowa Republicans want to pretend all that agriculture work is solely accomplished by native and green card migrants. "Iowa governor signs bill that would make it a crime for some undocumented migrants to be in the state" https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/11/us/iowa-immigration-enforcement-bill-signed This really is the heigth of hypocrisy to ignore who is hiring the undocumented and exploiting the cheapest migrant labor they can find to bring in the crops, dairy, pork, poultry, etc. that Iowans themselves have been long too lazy to accomplish without massive immigrant help of both the documented and undocumented status. My question is why not hold the people responsible that create the market for the undocumented migrants? If the migrant can be deported for being here shouldnt the lazy guy hiring them also be deported, he has created the situation ? Iowans pretending they actually do the dirty, difficult, dangerous agriculture work, pffft, were 50 years past that. Shame on them.

I dont care if weed is legal, to each his own I say. But as a user in my youth, I definitely concur with Fez's post, that shit does dull your senses the more you smoke it, to deny that, as tons of folks Ive heard over the years do, is misguided. Drink and smoke away, no problem to me though. I put up a greenhouse for garden veggies last summer, everybody seems to think im now into a cannabis grow operation. Its for veggies you snowflakes!

So first its Cohen, then Weiselberg, then Navarro, now Weiselberg again...... Why is it that all the disgraced former Presidents eggs keep breaking, yet the fraudster itself is allowed to walk around scot free while having committed the exact same crimes? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/allen-weisselberg-sentenced-perjury_n_661655f7e4b07b7205f1d661 I have had it up to here with the lack of justice and accountability that gangster Trump is allowed to continually skirt. Its time, long past time, for Le'Donald to do his time.

Just want to remind any possible Republican voters reading today, to stare directly into the eclipse for at least 10 minutes without glasses to get the full experience. Eta: This will ensure you get the MEGA MAGA experience of- Making the Eclipse Great Again!

Why were the investigators not allowed to present those findings in court?
