  Cats Can Now Vote?
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 07-10-2020, 11:04 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (11)

A cat... a dead cat, got a voter registration application in the mail in Atlanta, GA.

Say what?!  tinybighuh

Well, I have two that will be very happy to hear this!  I'll fill it out for them.   :smallwink:   minusculebiggrin


Quote:An Atlanta family said it received a voter registration form this week for their cat Cody Tims – who died 12 years ago.

"There's a huge push but if they're trying to register cats, I'm not sure who else they're trying to register,” the late feline’s owner, Carol Tims, told Fox5 Atlanta. “I'm not sure if they're trying to register dogs, mice, snakes.”

The Tims say they found the form addressed to the cat in their mailbox on Wednesday.

Carol Tims described Cody as a “great cat, indoor and outdoor” who “loved his family, loved his neighborhood” and lived to the age of 18.

But in terms of his voting prospects, “he's a cat and he's been dead for a long time,” Tims told Fox5 Atlanta.

The Georgia Secretary of State's Office told the station that they did not send out the form and that third-party groups behind such applications often use mailing lists to obtain names and addresses of people — and in this case, a cat.

"Third-party groups all over the country are targeting Georgia to help register qualified individuals,” it said in a statement. “This group makes you wonder what these out-of-town activists are really doing. Make no mistake about it, this office is dedicated to investigating all types of fraud."

Asked how Cody might have voted in the polls – if he could – Tims told Fox5Atlanta that he was a “Democat.”

See how easy it is to manipulate the mail in ballots?  Now cats are allowed to vote.

But what about dogs?  I'm calling this RACIST!   smallupset

Bug Another Fake C19 Story
Posted by: xuenchen - 07-10-2020, 10:48 PM - Forum: Political News and more - Replies (3)

Now we have yet another fake C19 "case" that was sensationalized and highlighted by NBC of all things !!

A virologist, Dr. Joseph Fair went right along with this total bullshit story too and he really is a doctor !!

He needs to be de-licensed and NBC needs total exposure for the phony bullshit artists they are and always have been 

Makes you wonder how many millions of other cases are fake as well doesn't it 

Another bullshit Democrat trick has failed 

Quote:After NBC News extensively followed the COVID-19 case of its own on-air contributor Dr. Joseph Fair, the virologist and epidemiologist revealed he tested negative for coronavirus as well as negative for the WuFlu antibodies, meaning he never had the virus.

“Joining me now [is] virologist Joseph Fair, who recently recovered from COVID-19 himself,” the network’s Chuck Todd said introducitng the doctors on a June episode of “Meet the Press.”

“Dr. Fair, let me start with  you because I would like you to share a little bit about your recovery from COVID-19. What should Americans take away from your experience?” Todd asked.

  Hummingbirds! Hummingbirds! On a live camera feed!
Posted by: Errollorre - 07-10-2020, 09:30 PM - Forum: Animal House - Replies (8)

If you enjoy seeing hummingbirds,
here is a place to see many at a time sitting, flying and feeding at feeders set up in front of a live camera feed in Studio City California.
Keep in mind this is in California so although the camera is on 24 hrs a day,
the birds are most active in daylight.
It is fascinating to be able to see this creatures in flight and at rest.
I hope you find this as peaceful and interesting as I do.

  Supreme Court Declares half of OK belongs to Creek Tribe
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 07-10-2020, 04:24 PM - Forum: Lawsuits and Legalities - Replies (11)

Oops! Someone forgot to dot the I and cross the T on a document agreement with the Creek Tribe back in the 1800s.

A man won his case by declaring his crime took place on Indian land, out of U.S. jurisdiction, when he raped a 4 year old child. The treaty was never finished, so the Supreme Court had to rule in favor of the rapist.

The Creek Tribe was unaware that half of OK still belonged to them, legally, until this court case came up.

There will be things to figure out in the days ahead, and other tribes will be affected as well.

Chalk up a win for our Native Americans.  I'm glad they finally got some justice for what was taken from them all those years ago.
I think I must have been a Native American in a past life because I've always felt a strong connection to them.

Here's Alex Jones, a non-ranting Alex Jones FTM, telling us that there's a way to "cure" patients who are about to die from COVID-19.

For those who can't watch the video, he's saying that the simple administration of an inhaled steroid will bring people back to normal in ~3 days.  Like a bee sting victim who has a reaction to bee stings or a person with a peanut allergy who accidentally consumes one.

  Turkey is still threatening to leave NATO. Let’s take them up on that
Posted by: 727Sky - 07-10-2020, 10:29 AM - Forum: War, Peace and Inbetween - Replies (15)

https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/20...lets-take/

Quote:Our supposed ally and NATO partner Turkey is back in the headlines, once again for all the wrong sorts of reasons. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been in something of a spat with France’s Emmanuel Macron over the past couple of months and their relationship is clearly continuing to deteriorate. This week, Turkey’s Ambassador to France suggested that it might be time for his country to leave the NATO alliance, going on to imply that there wouldn’t even be a functional body such as NATO without Turkey’s participation. And you thought the French were snooty and rude? They’ve got nothing on the Turks these days. (Free Beacon)
See Also: AOC has thoughts on cancel culture
Quote:A Turkish official raised the possibility of the country leaving NATO, according to a Tuesday Reuters report.
Citing an already tenuous relationship with fellow member states, Turkish ambassador to France Ismail Hakki Musa questioned NATO’s capabilities absent Turkey’s involvement. “Imagine NATO without Turkey,” he said. “You would have no NATO.”
Turkey has pivoted away from the alliance in recent months. The country recently bought fighter jets from Russia, strengthening its ties with the longtime NATO competitor. Meanwhile, it has cracked down on domestic dissent, imprisoning a group of journalists last year and recently loosening protections for Uighur refugees from China.

The decline of Turkey’s once-promising democracy and their increasingly close ties to Russia, China, Iran and other bad actors is a major disappointment. The recent spat with France would be both shocking and alarming if it weren’t for the fact that it’s largely in keeping with the Tyrant of Turkey’s recent actions.

TRENDING:
Another SUV drives through a BLM road blockade
[/url][url=https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/07/08/another-suv-drives-blm-road-blockade/]
The dispute in question took place last month when a Tanzanian freighter in the Mediterranean was suspected of illegal arms smuggling and other violations. A French ship flying the NATO flag was dispatched to intercept them and conduct routine inspections. In response, Turkey sent three of their own warships out to target the French ship with their targeting radar systems and armed their crews in a threatening fashion. The Tanzanian ship was assisted in getting away.
Does that sound like the actions of an ally to you? Of course, Americans were already all too familiar with Turkey’s many ham-handed maneuvers over the past couple of years. They not only held an American pastor hostage for more than two years but more recently took the side of Syrian forces under Bashar al Assad over the Kurds who have been fighting as allies to the United States. On top of that, Turkey has conducted arms deals with the Russians, purchasing missile systems that are not compatible with the rest of NATO’s forces.
Erdogan has also been cozying up with both China and Iran of late, in addition to providing material assistance to Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro while he’s been under sanctions from virtually everyone else. The list goes on. Turkey has been playing both sides of the coin for years, soaking up all the benefits of being a member of NATO while acting in direct conflict to the organization’s goals.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s time for the United States and the rest of our NATO partners to either fish or cut bait. If Turkey doesn’t want to act as a reasonable ally, they should be dropped from NATO’s ranks. Yes, this would be a potentially costly move for both America and the rest of NATO, as we would have to deploy our military forces elsewhere in the region if we’re losing access to Turkey’s airbases. But what good is their military strength doing for NATO if it’s being deployed to help our adversaries rather than our allies? And something tells me that if we get close to pulling the trigger on this action, Erdogan may suddenly see the light and come back to the table. Direct confrontation and significant action are probably the only things he understands and respects.

When the bottom is falling out of your world... :

[Image: I-Am-Just-Down-On-Life-Man-Funny-Sad-Frog-Meme.jpg]

Drink ten pints of guinness after spending a cheap and crappy night in a Harrogate night club, leaving with a drunk slapper called Amber after the last dance and then drive through the yorkshire dales until you arrive in Bradford UK.

Having arrived at the Bradford curry house, eat copious amounts of vindaloo Chicken Garlic Balti...

AND THE WORLD WILL FALL OUT OF YOUR BOTTOM...

This is humour only... PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE IF YOU RESPECT THOSE YOU LOVE AND THOSE THAT OTHERS LOVE.

Thank you.

CUTE KITTEN OR CAT OWNERS :

Save money on expensive cat carriers when going to the vets by simply tying your cats tail to one of its back legs.

Hey presto...!

If the cat does not make it after the visit to the vets, you can eventually use said deceased feline as a quick and easy ink pen holder on your office desk which makes for great conversation with clients.

Suggestion : Wait until cat is stiff before inserting ink pen or sharpened pencil into said cats anal orifice.

Second Suggestion : Make REALLY sure that your vet said that said your cat has well and truly kicked the bucket before inserting said ink pens or sharpened pencils into said cats anal orifice.

Authored by Peter Van Buren via TheAmericanConservative.com,
Today statues, tomorrow mass firings... or even worse. There's a history here.
[Image: GettyImages-1139711434-scaled.jpg]
I'm ambivalent about statues and J.K. Rowling being torn down, but terrified of the thought process behind the destruction. Decisions should never be made by mobs. 

Is America on the edge of a cultural revolution?
The historical namesake and obvious parallel is the Cultural Revolution in China, which lasted from 1966 to 1976. Its stated goal was to purge capitalist and traditional elements from society, and to substitute a new way of thinking based on Mao’s own beliefs. The epic struggle for control and power waged war against anybody on the wrong side of an idea.
To set the mobs on somebody, one needed only to tie him to an official blacklist like the Four Olds (old customs, culture, habits, and ideas). China’s young people and urban workers formed Red Guard units to go after whomever was outed. Violence? Yes, please. When Mao launched the movement in May 1966, he told his mobs to “bombard the headquarters” and made clear that “to rebel is justified.” He said “revisionists should be removed through violent class struggle.” The old thinkers were everywhere and were systematically trying to preserve their power and subjugate the people.
Whetted, the mobs took the task to heart: Red Guards destroyed historical relics, statues, and artifacts, and ransacked cultural and religious sites. Libraries were burned. Religion was considered a tool of capitalists and so churches were destroyed—even the Temple of Confucius was wrecked. Eventually the Red Guards moved on to openly killing people who did not think as they did. Where were the police? The cops were told not to intervene in Red Guard activities, and if they did, the national police chief pardoned the Guards for any crimes.
Education was singled out, as it was the way the old values were preserved and transmitted. Teachers, particularly those at universities, were considered the “Stinking Old Ninth” and were widely persecuted. The lucky ones just suffered the public humiliation of shaved heads, while others were tortured. Many were slaughtered or harassed into suicide. Schools and universities eventually closed down and over 10 million former students were sent to the countryside to labor under the Down to the Countryside Movement. A lost generation was abandoned to fester, uneducated. Red Guard pogroms eventually came to include the cannibalization of revisionists. After all, as Mao said, a revolution is not a dinner party.
The Cultural Revolution destroyed China’s economy and traditional culture, leaving behind a possible death toll ranging from one to 20 million. Nobody really knows. It was a war on the way people think. And it failed. One immediate consequence of the Revolution’s failure was the rise in power of the military after regular people decided they’d had enough and wanted order restored. China then became even more of a capitalist society than it had ever imagined in pre-Revolution days. Oh well.

I spoke with an elderly Chinese academic who had been forced from her classroom and made to sleep outside with the animals during the Revolution. She recalled forced self-criticism sessions that required her to guess at her crimes, as she’d done nothing more than teach literature, a kind of systematic revisionism in that it espoused beliefs her tormentors thought contributed to the rotten society. She also had to write out long apologies for being who she was. She was personally held responsible for 4,000 years of oppression of the masses. Our meeting was last year, before white guilt became a whole category on Netflix, but I wonder if she’d see now how similar it all is.
That’s probably a longer version of events than a column like this would usually feature. A tragedy on the scale of the Holocaust in terms of human lives, an attempt to destroy culture on a level that would embarrass the Taliban—this topic is not widely taught in American colleges, never mind in China.
It should be taught, because history rhymes. Chinese students are again outing teachers, sometimes via cellphone videos, for “improper speech,” teaching hurtful things from the past using the wrong vocabulary. Other Chinese intellectuals are harassed online for holding outlier positions, or lose their jobs for teaching novels with the wrong values. Once abhorred as anti-free speech, most UC Berkeley students would likely now agree that such steps are proper. In Minnesota, To Kill A Mockingbird and Huckleberry Finn are banned because fictional characters use a racial slur.
There are no statues to the Cultural Revolution here or in China. Nobody builds monuments to chaos. But it’s never really about the statues anyway. In America, we moved quickly from demands to tear down the statues of Robert E. Lee to Thomas Jefferson to basically any Caucasian, including “White Jesus.
Of course, it was never going to stop with Confederate generals because it was not really about racism any more than the Cultural Revolution was really about capitalism. This is about rewriting history for political ends, both short-term power grabs (Not Trump 2020!) and longer term societal changes that one critic calls the “successor ideology,” the melange of academic radicalism now seeking hegemony throughout American institutions. Douglas Murray is more succinct. The purpose “is to embed a new metaphysics into our societies: a new religion.” The ideas—centered on there being only one accepted way of thought—are a tool of control.

It remains to be seen where America goes next in its own nascent cultural revolution. Like slow dancing in eighth grade, maybe nothing will come of it. These early stages, where the victims are Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, someone losing her temper while walking a dog in Central Park, and canceled celebrities, are a far cry from the millions murdered for the same goals in China. Much of what appears revolutionary is just Internet pranking and common looting amplified by an agendaized media. One writer sees “cancel culture as a game, the point of which is to impose unemployment on people as a form of recreation.” B-list celebs and Karens in the parking lot are easy enough targets. Ask the Red Guards: it’s fun to break things.
Still, the intellectual roots of our revolution and China’s seem similar: the hate of the old, the need for unacceptable ideas to be disappeared in the name of social progress, intolerance toward dissent, violence to enforce conformity. 
In America these are spreading outward from our universities so that everywhere today—movies, TV, publishing, news, ads, sports—is an Oberlin where in the name of free speech “hate speech” is banned, and in the name of safety dangerous ideas and the people who hold them are not only not discussed but canceled, shot down via the projectile of the heckler’s veto, unfriended, demonetized, deleted, de-platformed, demeaned, chased after by mobs both real and online in a horrible blend of self-righteousness and cyber bullying. They don’t believe in a marketplace of ideas. Ideas to the mob are either right or wrong and the “wrong” ones must be banished. The choices to survive the mobs are conformity or silence. In China, you showed conformity by carrying around Mao’s Little Red Book. In America, you wear a soiled surgical mask to the supermarket.
The philosophical spadework for an American Cultural Revolution is done. Switch the terms capitalism and revisionism with racism and white supremacy in some of Mao’s speeches and you have a decent speech draft for a Black Lives Matter rally. Actually, you can keep Mao’s references to destroying capitalism, as they track pretty closely with progressive thought in 2020 America.
History is not there to make anyone feel safe or justify current theories about policing. History exists so we can learn from it, and for us to learn from it, it has to exist for us to study it, to be offended and uncomfortable with it, to bathe in it, to taste it bitter or sweet. When you wash your hands of an idea, you lose all the other ideas that grew to challenge it. Think of those as antibodies fighting a disease. What happens when they are no longer at the ready? What happens when a body forgets how to fight an illness? What happens when a society forgets how to challenge a bad idea with a better one?
