@instablog9ja If he’s Nigerian then why not send him back? I thought all immigrants had stipulations about abiding by the law or they could be deported?
@winmod1886@WallStreetMav JD Vance went to Harvard.
He stated how he didn’t fit in there, and he grew up experiencing poverty and decline in Appalachia.
I had hoped he would do more for the people of that area by now. They’re still really struggling in so many ways.
@nicksortor I feel like this type of preparation qualifies as a threat for inciting violence. Americans right to free speech allows us to “peacefully”protest. If they cover their eyes and protect their airways, I can’t understand how anyone could argue they are planning “peaceful” protests.
@TRHLofficial We create bird houses for Martins, swallows and bats to help with the mosquitoes. What happens to the birds when they eat these altered mosquitoes? 😞
40 years ago Antwerpen, Belgium youth were 85-95% Flemish/Dutch/native Belgium.
Due to immigration, declining native birth rates and increasing birth rates amongst Muslims, the youth population in several urban neighborhoods there today is estimated to be 50%+ Muslim, with only a small % of students being ethnically native Flemish.
Jonge meisjes zonder hoofddoek en met iets teveel decolleté volgens de mocro-jeugd worden geïntimideerd, betast, uitgescholden en vernederd. Het openbaar vervoer in #Antwerpen… altijd een feest! Maar eerlijk: wie wil zijn dochters nog met de bus of tram laten rijden?
TSA forced Southwest to do this due to a federal order made by the CDC. That order was done under the Biden administration, mostly driven by Dr. Fauci’s guidance.
If Southwest didn’t comply, they would’ve been subjected to fines and potentially shut down.
There CEO had openly stated before congress that he didn’t believe masks were necessary. Southwest was the very first airline to stop mandating masks immediately after a federal judge struck down the mandate.
I don’t know about that. I was just shocked to see it. She was by herself. I thought that wearing something like that surely meant there was a man near by to make sure she obeys. Was she allowed to be out by herself? Is she allowed to talk to me? Does she even know English? What is she at ER for? Has she been abused under that outfit? Is she a victim of FGM? Did she want to be wearing that it or is she forced to? Where does she live? Is there an entire community of women wearing these somewhere near me?
Like literally a million questions ran through my mind. And that was just one person, there were several others in that waiting room that I was reeling over.
There’s a little town in Indiana named French Lick. In the late 1800’s up to the Great Depression it was a place for glamorous high society. People traveled there from all over the world to bathe in the “healing” spring water and drink “Pluto” water, a sulfur smelling mineral water.
Two massive luxury resorts, the French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel, attracted presidents, movie stars, athletes, gangsters, and even international royalty. During Prohibition and the roaring 20’s, the area became famous for illegal gambling, glamorous parties, fine dining, golf, and celebrities like Al Capone, Irving Berlin, and boxer Joe Louis. Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his intention to run for president there in 1931.
@DonBear290@JOKAQARMY1 I believe the miners are being obedient in providing for their families but the ones in power over this work are certainly guilty of oppressing the poor.
I believe I’m considered “Xennial” because I was born at the end of X/millennial beginning.
My grandparents lived through the Great Depression; that shaped them. Much of that shaping was ingrained into my own parents and then, into me. I witnessed enough constraint to prioritize saving, repair things, recycle, build, cook, cut costs and work harder if life needs to be more manageable.
It feels as though that mentality is missing in newer generations.
My grandparents saved the butter tub for leftovers, they washed and reused their Ziploc bags, dinners were made from scratch, and sometimes it had to be a fried bologna sandwich. If something was broken, they’d repair it. Knowing skills like sewing, repairing small motors, cooking from scratch were common place and essential.
People fixed things. When I was a kid there were repair shops in every shopping center (vacuum repair, seamstress, shoe repair, lawnmower repair, etc.)
Women painted their own nails and cooked from scratch. Today making food from scratch is consider a HelloFresh subscription.
There’s a noticeable entitlement amongst newer generations, as if they truly feel it is their right to have everything their parents have and to be able to dispose of anything that breaks down, to replace with the newest upgrade. It’s not a rational expectation and it’s not sustainable for people starting out in life.
I don’t blame them, they grew up during a boom, economic, prosperity, an era of abundance. Oder generations have expected and prepared for the pendulum to swing back. They built security because they have a deeper understanding of how drastically economies and government policies can change.
@DrClaytonForre1@Babygravy9 It’s a grenade style IED. I don’t think it could have damaged that damn; it was built to withstand immense amounts of pressure and earthquakes.
There would have to be much larger and more sophisticated/complex explosion devices in place to cause destruction.
