‘Cause the rescue might be worse than the injury:

Happy Father’s Day, everyone.

I was lucky. I grew up with a Father.
And I had a Dad.

And that is, indeed, a part of my “White Privilege”.

Thanks, Dad. 

Yeah, it would seem that they have been forgotten, and it is, instead, mostly Americans who are footing the bill for repair. 

Odd, I could have sworn that I’d heard this song before….Think WWII.

Funny how history repeats, innit? The French talk big, but in the end, they  just don’t step up.

(and this is another way to show attribution for your source material)

They refer to Biden as “Joe Biden” or “Vice President Biden”

Odd difference. One is much less respectful than the other.

It’s not like we don’t know which the Media favors anyway. 

I mean, the meme from the DNC folks is that “Russians” or “Russia” chose to help Donald Trump get elected.

But……(from a comment in a post on Kenny’s place)

Hillary won the popular Vote, so……

Did they help her?

(BTW, this an example of how you give attribution to a place where you found your subject material. It’s common courtesy to do so)

In particular, about a question as to whether the respondent is a US citizen.

I think it is because the DNC types don’t want anyone to know how many non citizens are there,

They claim that they are afraid that the non citizens won’t respond to the census at all, and therefore the assets and tax money and, most especially, congressional seats, would therefore not be allocated properly…..(point here: are congressional seats supposed to be allocated by number of citizens or by number of population? Same same tax money and/or other assets…..)


There are many other questions on the Census…and the Census folks claim that it is a law that one answer those questions….but I know of no one who has ever been charged or fined or in any way punished for not answering the census questions…

I have always put the number of people and their genders and nothing else on the form sent to my household….

But riddle me this???Why should Non-Citizens get any representation?? Why should people who are in the country illegally get any assets allocated to their areas?

It was pointed out to my friend that there are subtle “Microagressions” everywhere….

Ferinstance:
The symbols on the traffic lights.
How, you might ask, would a traffic light be racist? (I was ignorant about this as well….Read on)

It would seem that they are racist because the traffic lights in common use here in Northwest Indiana have a white figure to tell you to walk and an orangeish hand to tell you not to walk….This was changed, apparently, many years ago to make it easier for blind visually impaired (there I go again with Microagression) people to more easily see the difference and thus not get run over by cars, trucks and busses….But, again, I digress.

Seems that it is perceived by (some) black people that “Its a WHITE hand that tells you to go but it is BLACK (Brown? Orange?) hand that stops you”….which is, somehow, racist.

Or something.

What a wonderful country we live in that this is the largest complaint….

One can find discrimination and/or racism anywhere, apparently, if you look hard enough and have an ambiguous enough definition….

Spent yesterday servicing the big  Bush Hog mower. It had been on the far side of the soft part of the yard, and had been sitting since last fall.

Greased the u-joints on the driveshaft, oiled the blade pivots and the coupler, checked the level in the gearbox. Spent a half hour putting a proper edge profile on the swinging blades with a flap disc.

Mowing and wholesale mayhem on tall grass today….while I can.

if it doesn’t rain tomorrow, more of the same. 

Just plain well water. But from a well on the property owned by Chuck Norris.

So it has badness built in.

Or something.
