Apparently people are taking their free time to protest outside of Tesla dealerships.

Protesting Elon Musk and his DOGE eliminating government wasteful spending.

Why, unless they are being paid , would anyone protest wasteful spending of our taxpayer dollars?  Why would you object to the use of our funds for drag shows in Argentina? For similarly useless and wasteful programs across the world?

Are these people being paid for their time? Or are they just that fuckin’ stupid?

It’s Casimir Pulaski Day!

In a just world, it’d be as big a deal as MLK day, with the accompanying federal government shutdowns and speeches and all the other folderol….but it’s only in the greater Chicago area that it is celebrated.

“It is long past time English is recognized as the official language of the United States”

It is, and it should have been done by Congress long ago.

If you refuse to learn the language of the country you claim to adopt as your home, you are simply an invader.

I have known, and worked for, many immigrants to the US, All of them, each and every one of them, learned the language of the country that they chose as their adopted home. It is part of becoming an immigrant, of making it yours.

“The tie of language is perhaps the strongest and the most durable that can unite mankind.”
Alexis de Tocqueville

“A melting pot, yes. A tower of Babel, no.”

“European Leaders stand behind Zelensky” 

But will they send big money or large amounts of weapons?  How about troops?

Or are they just words on Social Media that have no substance?

I bet on the latter.

The “Real” Epstein files did NOT get released on Friday, the 28th.

Odd, that.

Perhaps the spat between Zelensky and Trump overshadowed it, but I looked and did not see any files released, despite the promises.

One wonders.

and perhaps it was real. I dunno.

But it is exactly how Zelensky needed to be talked to. He cam here and demanded help years ago….and for some reason, he got exactly what he asked for……..Aid in the form of untraceable money and arms. Demanded it, acting as if it were his and his countries due, rather than a  gift….and he got it from a weak and leaderless United States….For  some reason our congressmen and out president knuckled under to him, treated him with deference.

Not so much today. He got treated as a penitent should be treated. “You are in NO POISITION to dictate”.

About time we got a leader that will do what is needed in relations with other countries.

Reparations , I mean….They are pushing it in Illinois again. All over the Chicago news.

The “Committee” is looking at it….again.

How are they gonna make it fair? Lots of black people have been getting subsidies their whole lives….sometimes for 3 or 4 generations….and lots of white families came to this country well after the Emancipation…..You gonna make ’em pay back those subsidies (Interest???) How are you gonna square the books?

My father never owned a slave, his father never owned a slave, neither of my father’s grandfathers never owned a slave….My mother’s mother’s family never owned a slave, and my mother’s father was mexican…in fact both sides of my mother’s family were what today would be considered enslaved people….(likely my Dad’s side as well)….all were immigrants who paved the way for the next generation with hard work…..and good culture. Sorry that that culture wasn’t part of those from Africa. We are where we are because of hard work and good culture passed on by my ancestors. My nieces and nephews are better off at this stage in life than I was at that stage….and I was better off than my father and mother. Every other culture does it but two, here in America. And they are both tribal.  It is what they make of it… Reparations won’t fix them.

How are you gonna figure who gets paid what, and by whom?

I think this is just a way of letting people think that the (liberal) Illinois government cares. Were I a (white) taxpayer in Illinois, I would be up in arms that they are even funding a committee to investigate the idea.

When they have never commented before, and suddenly show up  in your comments  with an authoritative sounding argument and are immediately argumentative…..

But when you call them on it, or demand the same sort of cites that they demand from you, then they disappear.

Leftist trolls think they are smart, they aren’t.

Yeah, I’m talking to you “RJ1913”.When pressed you folded like a cheap suit. Loser
