@GerryCallahan Bleep you Gerry, tough play to live with for Zay but he’ll be back, and didn’t you lose the big game in high school on a bonehead drop? Typical BC-hating Minuteperson.
@EdKrassen Why wait for a future Democrat offense to demonstrate consistency in enforcement? What about Biden having classified documents in his garage, the Penn Center and his lawyer’s office? You play the honest broker, but your silence on a gross double standard by DOJ suggests otherwise
@DoctorTurtleboy If this was a parody post from the Babylon Bee, you couldn’t find a more perfect pair fitting the image of the suburban Wonderbread “Lunatic Left” from central casting than this pair of lassies. They are oh so tolerant, except toward those with opinions different from their own.
@XVanFleet This is why communism has failed everywhere it has been tried, while pursuit of the American Dream created the greatest and most prosperous nation in world history.

The story of Xiaogang Village (小岗村).
It was a typical poor village in Mao’s China which operated based on the collective farming model called People’s Commune. In 1976 a strong laborer couldn’t make more than ¥36 a yr. Many resorted to begging in cities.
Facing starvation in 1978, the 17 families got together & did something unthinkable. They created a secret contract: dividing the collective-owned land & giving the responsibility to each family. They understood this was illegal & village leaders could be jailed or worse. They sweared that if this was to happen, the entire village volunteer to help raise their children.
A miracle happened. By harvest time in 1979, the villages welcomed the biggest harvest ever. Each family had enough food that could last for 5 yrs. The average personal income was ¥400. What was the secret? For the first time, everyone was working for themselves. They worked hard & they were rewarded for their effort.
Their secret finally got out. And it became the model for CCP’s rural economic reform!! Reform?? The reality is Socialism is the reason for poverty & the reform was simply getting the CCP out of the way.
Xi Jinping bragged that CCP lifted Chinese ppl from poverty. Now you know the truth!
