I have a friend who grew up in Ceaucescu’s Romania. He became an army officer, and the government decided he was trustworthy, so they allowed his family to get together for the holidays. They went over the wall to Yugoslavia the night of Christmas Eve when he was 26, lived in a tent city during the whole Serb/Croat mess in the early 90’s.
He has a VERY dim view of Muslims, and an extremely positive view of America. Also, a questionable haircut, but that might be an ethnic thing.

Shouldn't we be getting a daily beat-down from the media about taking prophylatics as well?
I heard they cancelled sturgis this year cause everyone died last year from it.

I grew up listening to stories about how the communists sized control of Cuba.

They normalized the extermination of anyone who was deemed sexually or morally deviant.

They nationalized all private industry, which included the textile mill which my grandfather owned.

After those whose livelihoods had been destroyed began to question the then-in-transition-to-power government, the execution squads were formed.

Two of my own father's brothers-in-law were put against a wall and shot by the police for their anti-communist activities.

But, and it seriously pains me on my father's grave to say this... Fidel Castro at least had a decent haircut.



Of Ceaușescu, not even that can be said.

when its done intentionally, it's not erroneous.




In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug. 9 of this year."
783 out of roughly 7.3million.

I guess if you're opposed to the free market in general, Congress is as good a group as any to deny access to it.

every stock Pelosi's husband buys, eventually skyrockets a few days/weeks/months later. Honestly, if you follow his purchases and mirror, you'd be a rich man.

Coincidentally it always coincides with that company winning some sort of amazing gov't contract....

add gyms to the list of places Black people are no longer allowed to patronage:



So they empirical data that suggests the vaccine is effective against spreading covid in gyms? I'd like to see that.


But remember, voter ID laws are bad.
