The Guardian reported, “The nationalities of the several hundred people assumed to have drowned in the latest, terrible migrant boat tragedy in the Mediterranean help explain why they attempted so perilous a journey. Pakistanis, Egyptians, Syrians, Afghans and Palestinians reportedly comprised most of the approximately 750 passengers crammed on to the unseaworthy vessel that set off from Tobruk in Libya and sank 50 miles off the coast of Greece last Wednesday.
"All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
With the help from Pythagoras and the Greeks, Rome progressed. music and musical instruments, which later Europeans expanded to musical notation on fixed clefs, harmonies, instruments, musical forms, and theater and dance.
Alinsky (while likely not the first to make the conclusion, it is attributed to him) was right - ridicule and mockery are among the most powerful tools as there is no defense against them.
The sarcasm is sharp and bitter (and refreshing)! No one reading it can say they weren't warned.
If my ample white ass didn't deserve better AND if I didn't already have the NYT, I'd use the Guardian to wipe it.
Bawney Fwank has already attained irrelevance, so let's send the strumpet from Hell, instead.
This is the whole point, isn’t it? Yes,the West has done some very bad things. And so has America.There’s no point in denying it. But, and it’s a big but ( I like big buts, I cannot lie.), on balance, the West, and in particular the exceptional United States of America, has been the most civilizing force on the planet, ever. This country has been, on balance, the least abusive of any empire, the most compassionate and generous place. Perfect- no way. But perfect isn’t on the table last time I checked. Better than the Romans, or the Ottomans, or the Aztecs, or the Brits? No contest. Better than the Chinese commies who are next in line? Again, no contest. The propagandists from the Left use any excuse to knock down whoever and whatever stands in their way. Now the billionaire-Bolsheviks are in charge. They’ve managed to rig elections and buy the media’s complicity, and pretty much have had the run of the place in the past few years. Look at what they’ve accomplished- garbage upon garbage.
The country is a big mess. The people who say America is no good are doing their best to make it no good. Their philosophy is idiotic, destructive and historically a massive failure every time. Look at the failures “leading” this country. The policy mistakes are too numerous to count. We have a degenerate class in charge. The American people are not rotten. But our ruling class, let’s be honest that’s what it it, is as decadent as any in history. They have no morality, and they’re making the country into a joke while they get rich off the Fed’s printing press, rigged markets, and Chinese payola.
All of them in power Democrats and Republicans. They are the problem. It’s not capitalism or Christianity or white privilege. It’s bad people at the top. They’ve made ordinary, decent middle class people into pariahs in the country that they built. Meanwhile the smug, degenerate Bidens and Bushes and Obamas are cashing checks, snorting coke and parading with drag queens.
Well this always happens at the end of an empire, it is said. Republics only last so long. Political systems inevitably revert to corruption and institutional inertia. Maybe. But maybe we just need to throw these bums out and clean house.The losers in the world want to take your place, not because they’ve earned it, but because they whined so long and so loud, and spouted half truths and lies that you just throw your hands up and say “fuck it”.
Nice, TM. The intersection of human intellect and realistic economics is primary. People will follow what they will seem to follow. Marx wanted to count on it. And didn't understand psychology in that case. And so not much changes. We need a brand new program of advertising. Advertising that offers such:
Homosexuality is not a sacrament.
Trans whatever is not an answer.
Submission to other agents of the world of slavery is not good.
It’s the nexus of the globalists and the wokesters. The wokesters are playing the globalists for resources ( money, media exposure). The globalists are playing the wokesters for control by allowing the useless parasites to destroy the functional culture.
Don’t buy from corporatists that hate you and want to enslave you. The business men who would be kings need to learn their place in the scheme of things.
Don’t hear the Guardian - all gung-ho to support Ukraine- apologizing to the thousands of Ukrainians who had to flee their country because “the West” ( read: military industrial complex) decided they wanted to go to war with Russia. Maybe they should look in the mirror.

Dear Mr. Surber:
You are wasting your time on trying to apologize to the liberals--any liberal--because it would never be enough. What about the 21 people shot in Chicago over the weekend. I wouldn't apologize. To me, whoever did the shooting did me a favor. It is 21 less people who will bother me if I ever go back to the "Windy City." As far as the people who were shot, I have one question: What were you celebrating exactly? Whatever you were doing there, Juneteenth is no more a holiday than 'QUANZA' is. See what happens when you think you are better than everyone else. I see there were three earthquakes in California over the weekend and all that was reported was the "Celebrations of 'pride' month." Remember The Biblical saying--Pride cometh before fall.
Do you remember all those women in Germany who were raped for New Years Eve celebration when they welcomed with open arms the hoard of refugees who have never shared their culture and values?
I do not remember this, so tell me more. As far as being raped, I can't imagine a worse fate. As far as your comment goes, the same thing has happened here and will continue to happen here in the extreme for as long as Herr Biden stays in office.
that was just a few years back when Germany (Merkel) open their doors and welcomed all those Muslims with open arms - would have had to have been prior to all the Covid shutdowns. It was very newsworthy at the time
I haven't owned a TV or read a newspaper in many years and it probably keeps my blood pressure as low as it is. I have access to the internet, obviously, but generally I am a homebody with my cat and my garden. If something terrible happens locally, may The Lord help us all.
With you, young man: no TV or newspapers for me for some time now: why be insulted all the time by watching/reading a buncha bloviators, all younger than I, most with I.Q, formal education, and personal goals probably behind what remains of mine (as age takes its mordida). I know who I will vote for - even considering my personal vote is now worthless due to democrat tricks - so I can do without all that commercial noise in my face all the time, and all those nasal voiced , over made-up blondined, schnauzers on the tube trying to sell me their boss's view of the world?
Adorable little fuzzball told us this was the way to happiness. Turn off cable sky-is-falling-news-channels and the local world you live in, most folks are doing fine. That was b4 Biden effed as much as he and his puppeteers could destroy though, but still here in inner City Dallas, you can still carry and protect you & yours.
The governments of the West invited a barbaric people to do their worst to those citizens not protected by the entitled people who have wealth or status enough to be immune from such attacks.
It was largely ignored by the propaganda ministers. The bloggers who covered it referred to the military age males crossing the Mediterranean as rapefugees.
Having only 2 thumbs, they are both raised up to the Great Apology compilation. And I completely understand why you did not dare apologize for creating the 40-hour work week. That was our only invention that did NOT ruin the rest of the world. Not only did it free the white slaves (travesty enough) but it gave us Two Whole Days for R&R&W (rest, relax and worship) That last managed to call attention to Saturday worshippers and Sunday worshippers, that other way for driving the golden spike into Brotherhood--should it raise its uuugly head. Surber rulz!
I was going to say we should apologize for inventing free market capitalism and raising 2 to 3 billion human beings out of dire poverty in the last 30 years but western man did not invent free market capitalism. God invented it for mankind to use and better the lives of ALL God’s children. It is a system that works perfectly with human nature, not greed but the desire of man to improve, advance and do better.
Guess I am out of step: In Surber's daily poll, I voted for Barney Frank: I do not endorse sending HRC anywhere: she will get to where she has been headed all her life on her own - maybe with "A little help from her friends" (as from the starrt - with the D.C. bureaucrat who failed the 'smartest woman in the world' a couple of times on her bar examination). Then who ever fired her from the Watergate investigators for Fascist behavior: her first part in a national political coup.
I teach all my Grandkids to learn from St. John Wayne. The lesson to be applied not only here but across all the digital and social media platforms is this...Never Apologize!
We've reached a time when hatred for the West and Western values and envy for Western achievement is proportional to the desire to live in the West with a Western lifestyle and enjoy the benefits and luxuries that Western society offers.
You omitted apologizing for mass produced indoor plumbing that eliminated the jobs of servants emptying chamber pots

She’s a vile human.
No, she's not - she's just vile. She's not human.
Dittos. Someplace really really hot.

Agreed here. Never give up.
Amen!!

I am sure the publisher and editors of The Guardian are housing hundreds of refugees in the unused spaces of their building.
The same way Martha's Vineyard welcomed them with open arms...

You are correct about the political advertisements. It has been so long since I've heard any that I forgot how much I hated them.

Po' soul. Do you still miss Howdy Doody and Clarabelle? I know I do.
yes I do miss them, but not as much as you might believe, open your peepers, look around, Howdy and Clarabells are EVRYWHERE
Do you remember the Cisco kid?
I remember that horrible event. Scandalous!
The governments of the West invited a barbaric people to do their worst to those citizens not protected by the entitled people who have wealth or status enough to be immune from such attacks.
It was largely ignored by the propaganda ministers. The bloggers who covered it referred to the military age males crossing the Mediterranean as rapefugees.
I will never forget or forgive.
I believe Poca man was being sarcastic.
I did know that. I was just adding on to the absurdities and pure insanity of the left.
👍🏻
The symbol is visually vague. Is that a thumbs up, or an albino pile of poop?
Thumbs up.
Oh yes. And splendidly, to boot. It takes years to hone the skills of a good satirist. The proof is the above. Hats off to Big D!
Proverbs 16:18 18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
Actually Juneteenth is an OFFICIAL FEDERAL HOLIDAY. Lots of Federal offices are closed, and state ones, too. Real people however are working today.
Maybe we should make every day a federal holiday.
Great idea.
I'd love to go back to Chicago just to take in a Cubs home baseball game. No can do.
Even Bubba Clinton will vote in today’s poll. Like he’s in Chicago. Hundreds of times.
Take my wife, please.
Take my wife please, f...ing priceless!!!!!!!
Rim shot! LOL
Bubba is not heard from or of very much any more. Anyone seen him lately?
Sex change. He now identifies as Hillary.

Why do the progressives expect us to go along with their fascist mind games? Not all of us are brain-numbed sycophants of the leftist ideologies!
Because they are also narcissistic psychopaths devoid of morals whose souls belong to Satan.

Just so.

As someone posted elsewhere: when the Berlin Wall came down which way did the inmates run?
To a Chicago Walmart, which they looted.
…emphasis on BENEFITS (handouts).
