When the president ignored the Supreme Court ruling and forgave all the student loans he should have been dragged out of the Oval Office in leg chains. But, nobody, not a single person stopped him. If the Democrat's 2024 slogan is "Fuck the Constitution," check please, I'm outta here. Elon, take me to Mars.
It's irritating as hell nobody stopped him, but even more so that all of the people in positions to make it happen will follow orders and implement an illegal order anyway. Without a thought.
Where is our Congress? Where is the court? Isn't Biden guilty of contempt? (I'm not a lawyer)
This is IN-YOUR-FACE fascism and the real insurrection playing out.
...the in-your-face part got up and howled loudly when Bush-Paulson-Bernanke bailed out the crooks at the Big Banks in 2008. Those Big Bank piggies turned around and used the bailout money to pay themselves big bonuses and lobby against banking reform. Does that qualify as Fascism? Why, yes. Yes indeed it does...
If you can find a copy, get a movie called "The Big Short." It's based on a book written not long after the housing crisis metastasized. Stars are Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt & Christian Bale. Pitt's company, PLAN B, produced it. It boils down extremely complex information to an understandable fairly detailed level. I had no idea how completely fraudulent things became after Glass-Stegall was repealed in 1999. Like the movie says, bankers stopped going to the country club and headed for the strip club. We are in a world of hurt because people who are supposed to look out for our money are robbing us and laughing. Genuinely creepy ass people.
Oaf, thanks for mentioning The Big Short--I just ordered the book a moment ago. May someday see the movie, but sense that this is one I will want to read carefully, underline alot, etc. Had heard of this before, but your comment prompted me to action.
I didn't know there was a book until I'd seen the movie. I found the movie in the $5.00 movie bin at Walmart. Before watching "The Big Short" all I knew about the 2008 collapse was that it was caused by greedy men doing fraudulent things to make more money. IMO, the movie captures the living ethos of corruption which now commands the financial sector of the whole world. There are no heroes in "The Big Short."
Well, one perhaps good thing that could come of this is that, when Donald Trump is back in the White House and some court or other issues an injunction against, say, deporting illegal aliens or cancelling the visas of all Chinese citizens who are working in defense, technology, or the like, he can just ignore them. Then watch liberal heads explode.
Well.............no! Playing nice is what got us in this blasted mess. I don't want to resort to copying leftist actions either. We can use the law and beat them at this game. It just takes commitment.
BIDEN IS A SUPPOSITORY! pardon the attitude, but I live in Georgia, land of Mental Mush and Avsolute Arrogance. lol Happy and Hanging in there, love grandma
Speaking of Georgia on my mind: On TV this afternoon I watched the final arguments in the Fani Willis "misuse of funds" hearing today. That arrogant* snot-nosed woman who hired her boyfriend to persecute/ prosecute Trump is getting a dose of Comeuppance this week. Yesterday, she wore a hot pink skin-tight* dress. Today, it was a fire engine red* skin-tight dress. I'd like to take her to dinner tomorrow; serving some cold shoulder and hot tongue!
That is such a nice gesture, ....and for Refreshment, a huge bucket of ICE FILLED CHILLED WATER OVER THE HEAD! She seems to be getting a chill, hopefully this is ONLY THE BEGINNING!
The left will just try to impeach him again. They seem to be fixated on that now. Bet they are already setting it up so they can jump on it when he is back in office.
03/01/24: It finally dawned on me years ago that when a face or a name is on TV/print journalism, 95% of the time, the reason for the thing's appearance is that they have a book or a movie to sell...
From today's Wikipedia Profile, Barbara McQuade (Obama's Little Girl, as opposed to A Biden's LG; last sentence):
"McQuade’s first book, Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America, published on February 27, 2024."
There is another problem here too. All day long right leaning commentators as well as the rest of us read and talk about what "Maddow" said yesterday or what "CNN" said yesterday, and we play right into their hands. The View plans their outrageous comments filled with hate for a reason. People are drawn to them and in turn click on or view the program. It's the money! They are entertainers, just not the good kind of entertainers. I wonder what would happen if we all suddenly stopped clicking on their sites and just ignored them? Being ignored is one of the most powerful tools we have available to use against them. They spew the hate and then laugh and sit back while we all talk and fume about it. Insanity.
I do just that. I do NOT watch CNN, the View, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc. "News". I don't watch the local news either. I get my weather from NOAA on my phone, and WAZE maps keeps me apprised of traffic situations I may encounter.
I was an outside sales guy for a radio station years ago. One day there was an accident that caused a terrible traffic jam at one of the main intersetions in town, I called my local news roon to tell them so people would be able to avoid it. Since, however, there were no deaths it was not considered "News Worth" so it was not reported.
The worst part of the network news industry today is their ability to just report the news that aligns with their world-view. That isn't journalism, that is called propaganda.
It is deliberate and the know what they[re doing. It's called "advocacy journalism"-- which is actually an oxymoron that the morons don't get. They really believe its a valid type of "journalism", and that concept has been widely embraced by the Left media. Even Columbia journalism school adopted it and has been teaching it.
But it is in no way "journalism", and everyone who bought into that "trendy" concept will have to retrace their steps to come back to reality. Or most likely, will be fired when the publication/news station they work for goes bankrupt. Then they will have to find another career.
Enough money in a paycheck and some people will sell their souls. The problem is these prople believe they are on the right side to begin eith because they are “enlightened”. That is code for brainwashed. Thats what you get from most liberal arts schools today, a brain flush.
I agree with your point ("click" = "$$$"). However, it's been a long time since I've paid anything more than a cursory attention to these moldy vixens.
03/01/24: The research is in. 1) Once again, November 3rd, 2024 looms ominously ; 2) McQuade is going to need a McQ prescription (mega-dosage) on 11/05-08/24.
Well that old constitution is about to bite another liberal mainstay in the arse. Disney is in a world of hurt, and maybe more is coming if the America First Legal group has their way. The dems are trying to ignore the walls closing in. But they are closing in, and I mentioned this elsewhere this morning. Keep pushing!
Why is it always “common sense” restrictions on freedoms - like speech and self defense and religion? Why can’t there be “common sense” restrictions on destructive and life changing things like abortion or theft or trespassing or invading other nearby (or not so nearby) countries , or even murder? Those Shall Nots in the 10 Commandments? Couldn’t we have some common sense restrictions on those Nots? She could start with some common sense restriction on her own lying. There seems to be no restriction on stupid.
I think when liberals use "common sense" they are not referring to changes in the law. They must be referring to the tactics they must use to win by all means necessary.
Someday, if Trump wins in 2024, a witty writer should compile and publish a short book on the paradoxes of liberal reasoning. Perhaps they could call it "Idiocy for Dummies". Don?
in her mind she is not lying. it's obvious that she isn't part of the brain trust driving this evil destruction of western civilization but just another duped college graduate who has drunk the kool-aid and enjoys telling others what to do. new world order.
i grew up in flint. graduated from flint northwestern high school in 1966. trust me, this water thing was blown way out of proportion for political reasons.
Great comment but I think we already have those things. They are called laws, but laws are of no value if people pick and choose which ones they are going to follow. As for being stupid, all I can say is, in my long life thus far there has been no shortage of stupid to be found. It is found everywhere, that's why we all need to keep looking right, left and behind us.
If we start to have restrictions on free speech, I suggest we start with the “ladies” on The View. Never has a dumber group of individuals been able to spew disinformation with indignation for those with actual factually correct information. My wife suggests that the gate to HELL is located at the View desk. I pray to God that he opens it up soon.
Those morons are paid a great deal of money to sell their4 souls and say scripted outrageous and hateful things because they are first, entertainers. They do it for the money with no sense of shame for the harm they are causing. But I never want to see them restricted from doing so either. We all have choices, and no one makes us watch or listen to them. Just say no.
Reddog, Mark Twain said it best: Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt. Each day, the View cast members prove his point.
I choose to not watch them. It would make more sense to go slam the door on my head for an hour than to sit and watch human beings be so causal about spewing hate. Actually, I don't watch TV at all anymore. Nothing on it worth watching these days. Not sure your age but as I have gotten to my "experienced years" I find time has sped up dramatically and I have so many unfinished things left to do I don't find time for TV. Don't laugh but the last movie I saw in a theater was Titanic! By the way, Mr. Clemens is one of my favorites. I was in London back in the 80's and we were trying to find a restaurant (yeah, we were lost) so we took a shortcut down an alley and darned if there wasn't a large prominent plaque on the wall of a large home that said Mr. Clemens had lived there for a period of time while writing one of his books. He was everywhere.
I’m not terribly old. Read quite a bit. Started reading Gore Vidal books recently after I reread his Vanity Fair essay on Timothy McVeigh. It was rather eye opening. On his brilliant book on Lincoln which is fascinating. See the View clips on my Twitter/X feed. I don’t post any political things, as it’s not the right forum for me.
the only tv i watch anymore is college football. all the rest of it is nonstop promotion of things that are shameful even to mention. heck, even many of the commercials on college football are that now with McDonald's being the worst offender.
Yep, but college sports, especially football, is in the process of destroying itself right now with these bizarre conference changes and the move to allow players to be paid. This is only the start. By the time they are done, it wont be the same sporting experience at all. I love college football but hope it doesn't end up just pro-football-lite. I started going to high school sporting events and really enjoy it. Wish I could go back and play again when the games were fun.
Thankfully, we know not to allow this level of ignorance to discourage us from our Life Purpose. God's timing is perfect. I enjoy seeing those old TV shows, when life in the USA was simpler and respectful and most of us walked hand in hand with God's Word.
Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law."
Fear of God provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy. All these crazy people are crazy because they are scared. Scared of death, scared of a world they do not understand, scared of what other people will say, scared of what they will be told to say or think next. I don't think it's an accident that the next verse is "By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond."
Wow Don, brilliant summation of ongoing censorship of Americans who dare to think differently than the governmental line on Russia Hoax, Covid plandemic, and Presidential insurrection ( overthrowing the government while legally Presiding over said government).
Wow, a person could comment for hours about this issue and that maroooon Mz. McQuade. She would be scary if she wasn’t so pathetic. We should have a conversation about disinformation she said. Great, but how many leftists do you know willing to do so? Even debating really solves nothing. You still end up at same place. “Who” gets to decide what disinformation is? Not the government, lady! It’s an issue like a hula hoop with no ending. Thats why we have the first amendment. If there are truly legal analysts like this woman, something is very wrong in today’s higher education system that is producing these communist wannabe’s. There are too many of these people in positions of power and authority today. We conservatives have been asleep far too long. Being an American and enjoying all the freedoms and protections it comes with is no guarantee it will sustain itself without our close attention. The Maddows of the world will come and go along with the McQuades. Time to fight back.
Whenever you heard those words, or "in the interest of the state", reach for your Peter Gunn. The state has no interest of its own. It is a created thing, like your toaster oven. Does it have any interests of its own? Like the toaster oven, the state was created for a specific purpose. When it serves that purpose it is a good state. When it serves any other purpose it is a bad state.
Bad state! Now heel!
The problem with the sad law professor, nearly all lawyers and the subset of lawyers who are judges is that they serve the law only. It is what they are trained to do. We normies aren't interested in law. We are interested in justice, which is why lawyers have such a bad reputation among us. Hear how Oliver Wendell Holmes replied to Louis Brandeis when Brandeis, in a moment of exuberance congratulating Holmes on his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said to him has his coach was driving away, "Do justice, sir!"
Holmes had his driver stop the coach, and he turned around and said "That is not my job, sir. I will apply the law!"
What the Lord requires: do Justice, love Mercy, walk Humbly with your God.
Sadly the looney leftists successfully altered the true definitions of justice, mercy, and humble to suit their perverse agenda to cause discord within our society.
David Thompson wrote “Fear of Hod provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy.” So true.
Why is it women who are so angry and so opposed to free speech and the constitution? Why are women the worst of the democrat governors and judges and AGs?
a controversial question (and position) that rarely gets discussed or commented on other than perhaps a time out sanction from youtube. respects for having the balls to bring it up joe.
as to my answer....only agenda driven angry women go into politics. they put their anger (at men) over their children and all else. it's a new world order that is not going away.
it's also why the angriest of them all are found in the democrat party and the left. the war on men and boys agenda literally takes priority over all the other crap they're angry about.
at least they seem to stub their collective toes and so garner the most headlines....there's little doubt of that. everyone reaps what they sow or some such.
Because the wrong type of women go into politics for the wrong reasons. One of which may be that no one takes them seriously as "civilians" so they feel the need to be in positions of power to push their opinions. Women are not the only ones doing this either. You have the Swalwell's, the Schiff's, etc. But right now we certainly have a bunch of female DA's, AG's, and Governors who were picked and supported financially by wealthy leftists for a specific reason, and they did so willingly. For further meaning, refer to Fani Willis for starters or that loony constitution hating woman in the Governors chair in New Mexico, Grisham. All useful tools.
A friend once said that if I were God, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer would be the house band. Their arrangement of the Peter Gunn theme has never been surpassed.
Your post today is more proof we are winning and the left is losing their minds over it.The unrelenting attacks in the msm and bat shit craziness emanating from the regimes DOJ are the result of Don Surber,Elon Musk Tucker Truth Social VDH and others posting facts feelings be damned."Ye shall know the truth and the Truth will set you free".Charge on Poca-Man to a MAGA 2024 victory we pray.
That poll question today is a hard one. Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" versus the Venture's "Hawaii 5-O"? And the other three are great, too. But my vote has to go to the theme from "the Avengers" (the classic Brit series, not the Marvel superhero nonsense), which also had the sexiest woman ever in a TV show (Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel).
When I was a pre-teen boy, I had a crush on Diana Rigg even though she was old enough to be my mom; hardly ever missed an episode of "The Avengers" during the seasons that she was on. Even in her dotage, I thought that she still looked "hawt".
Same here. There was one episode in which she was dressed up in what amounted to a S&M outfit (which I later read got her royally ticked off at the producers). That episode was a defining moment of my childhood. And she was a really excellent actor; her appearance in the one Lazenby Bond movie was great.
They're telling us the national tv, newspaper and cable news is powerless to control the narrative with all this new media. Floggings will continue until morale improves.
Minor correction. Dylan Mulvaney is not a "man." He may be male (i.e.,, possessing two "X" chromosomes) but by no stretch of the imagination is he a "man."
Minor demurrer on best theme song from the early days of private eye TV shows. The theme from "Peter Gunn" is, without doubt the best musical effort in that vein, followed by the theme from the original "Hawaii Five O." You can now "Book 'em, Danno."
Speaking of the sexes, I note that the featured censorship advocates are female. And one of them confesses to lachrimose musings over being forced--FORCED!-- to teach Constitutional Law nowadays. The horror! What ever happened to "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"?
And finally, on the topic of censorship, did you ever notice that it's always the ones doing the censoring who are in favor of it? Yeah, strange, isn't it?
i had to think about what you were getting at for a second. cookie was singular. it's an expression i use with my friends when i say something funny or am right about a point or what not. it was something don rickles used to say quite a lot.
i was surprised that no one asked the obvious question.... his daughter-in-law would have to be married to his son so what was up? actually i dated her after they had gotten a divorce. wouldn't it be rich if she actually saw my post and commented here? she was smokin' hot and a fine lady.
Our entire Federal Government is “Bizarro World” on steroids.
The entire purpose of government is TO PROTECT our Rights enshrined in the Constitution, yet absolutely every single thing they do is the geared toward the exact opposite effect, using their power to whittle away, bit by bit, year in and year out, by writing and passing endless regulations and Bills whose only purpose is to circumvent, curtail and crush those same God-given Rights, without exclusion!
Government is the most dangerous of all entities, as that power, in the hands of immoral men and women, is a sure guarantor of oppression.

This is IN-YOUR-FACE fascism and the real insurrection playing out.
We've had in your face fascism since the 2020 election was stolen. It's the daily modus operandi of this regime.
…actually since the Wilson administration onward. They’re just attempting to take it all to next levels.
Ahh a student of history....Good Call Suzie.
...the in-your-face part got up and howled loudly when Bush-Paulson-Bernanke bailed out the crooks at the Big Banks in 2008. Those Big Bank piggies turned around and used the bailout money to pay themselves big bonuses and lobby against banking reform. Does that qualify as Fascism? Why, yes. Yes indeed it does...

If only they would explode for real. . . like an M80 in a jack-o-lantern at Halloween.
And most liberal heads have about as many brains in them as a Jack-O-Lantern...
Play nice REV./sarc
Well.............no! Playing nice is what got us in this blasted mess. I don't want to resort to copying leftist actions either. We can use the law and beat them at this game. It just takes commitment.
LOVE YOU, REDDOG! We will not kill them, but we are DONE PLAYING NICE!
Sounds like a recommended Biden suppository.
BIDEN IS A SUPPOSITORY! pardon the attitude, but I live in Georgia, land of Mental Mush and Avsolute Arrogance. lol Happy and Hanging in there, love grandma
Speaking of Georgia on my mind: On TV this afternoon I watched the final arguments in the Fani Willis "misuse of funds" hearing today. That arrogant* snot-nosed woman who hired her boyfriend to persecute/ prosecute Trump is getting a dose of Comeuppance this week. Yesterday, she wore a hot pink skin-tight* dress.

Is that why he shuffles as if he's testing soles for a shoe company?
It is the remote controller in place causing bidets gait.
His controllers don't seem to use very fresh batteries.
What a delightful mental picture, Richard.
The left will just try to impeach him again. They seem to be fixated on that now. Bet they are already setting it up so they can jump on it when he is back in office.

Moldy vixens😂 I think your being very kind here😂
I always reverently refer to the deceased in such a way.
I don’t understand why any conservative wastes his or her time watching or reading anything the left puts out. Ignoring them promotes sanity.
Agreed. You certainly don’t hear anything that supports your values there.
03/01/24: The research is in. 1) Once again, November 3rd, 2024 looms ominously ; 2) McQuade is going to need a McQ prescription (mega-dosage) on 11/05-08/24.

Defiant, Thank you for the first verse of loud laughter this morning.
What Don is doing here is like shouting fire in a crowded theater, because he sees the fire.
You are right! Don sees the fire that most miss because of the censorship on MSM.
THANK YOU, DON!
Unfortunately now this is shouting fire in front of the firing squad. They are determined to shut us up.

Commonsense in a lefty's mind really means "to think or act as they do".

She must have grown up in Flint and drank the water there her whole life. Someday, we may have one of these people come out of East Palestine, OH
i grew up in flint. graduated from flint northwestern high school in 1966. trust me, this water thing was blown way out of proportion for political reasons.
respects.
aND WANTS TO KEEP HER job AND friends IN THE instutution..... she will not be welcomed anywhere else.
It's the preferred method of "otherizing" their enemies - us.
Great comment but I think we already have those things. They are called laws, but laws are of no value if people pick and choose which ones they are going to follow.

I pulled the plug on TV years ago because of these OBESE MORONS.
There are a number of wonderful television shows around. When we hear the woke or antiJudeoChristian messages if present we just wince.
Thankfully, we know not to allow this level of ignorance to discourage us from our Life Purpose. God's timing is perfect. I enjoy seeing those old TV shows, when life in the USA was simpler and respectful and most of us walked hand in hand with God's Word.
God defines our lives:)
Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law."
Fear of God provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy. All these crazy people are crazy because they are scared. Scared of death, scared of a world they do not understand, scared of what other people will say, scared of what they will be told to say or think next. I don't think it's an accident that the next verse is "By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond."
Wow Don, brilliant summation of ongoing censorship of Americans who dare to think differently than the governmental line on Russia Hoax, Covid plandemic, and Presidential insurrection ( overthrowing the government while legally Presiding over said government).
Wow, a person could comment for hours about this issue and that maroooon Mz. McQuade. She would be scary if she wasn’t so pathetic. We should have a conversation about disinformation she said. Great, but how many leftists do you know willing to do so? Even debating really solves nothing. You still end up at same place. “Who” gets to decide what disinformation is? Not the government, lady! It’s an issue like a hula hoop with no ending. Thats why we have the first amendment. If there are truly legal analysts like this woman, something is very wrong in today’s higher education system that is producing these communist wannabe’s. There are too many of these people in positions of power and authority today. We conservatives have been asleep far too long. Being an American and enjoying all the freedoms and protections it comes with is no guarantee it will sustain itself without our close attention. The Maddows of the world will come and go along with the McQuades. Time to fight back.
". . . compelling governmental interest . . ."
Whenever you heard those words, or "in the interest of the state", reach for your Peter Gunn. The state has no interest of its own. It is a created thing, like your toaster oven. Does it have any interests of its own? Like the toaster oven, the state was created for a specific purpose. When it serves that purpose it is a good state. When it serves any other purpose it is a bad state.
Bad state! Now heel!
The problem with the sad law professor, nearly all lawyers and the subset of lawyers who are judges is that they serve the law only. It is what they are trained to do. We normies aren't interested in law. We are interested in justice, which is why lawyers have such a bad reputation among us. Hear how Oliver Wendell Holmes replied to Louis Brandeis when Brandeis, in a moment of exuberance congratulating Holmes on his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said to him has his coach was driving away, "Do justice, sir!"
Holmes had his driver stop the coach, and he turned around and said "That is not my job, sir. I will apply the law!"
What the Lord requires: do Justice, love Mercy, walk Humbly with your God.
Sadly the looney leftists successfully altered the true definitions of justice, mercy, and humble to suit their perverse agenda to cause discord within our society.
David Thompson wrote “Fear of Hod provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy.” So true.
Obviously I meant to type “God.”
Don't fret, where I grew up they said it the way you spelled it.
Everyone needs an editor. Some more than others.
Where do people say hod for God?
In Zeeuws Vlaanderen.
Great Comment. Thank You!
Why is it women who are so angry and so opposed to free speech and the constitution? Why are women the worst of the democrat governors and judges and AGs?
a controversial question (and position) that rarely gets discussed or commented on other than perhaps a time out sanction from youtube. respects for having the balls to bring it up joe.
as to my answer....only agenda driven angry women go into politics. they put their anger (at men) over their children and all else. it's a new world order that is not going away.
it's also why the angriest of them all are found in the democrat party and the left. the war on men and boys agenda literally takes priority over all the other crap they're angry about.
always cya joe and tally ho.
Especially minority women.
at least they seem to stub their collective toes and so garner the most headlines....there's little doubt of that. everyone reaps what they sow or some such.
Ignorant women with an exaggerated sense of self importance are the easiest to fool.
if not ignorant then for sure malleable. always that.
Because the wrong type of women go into politics for the wrong reasons. One of which may be that no one takes them seriously as "civilians" so they feel the need to be in positions of power to push their opinions. Women are not the only ones doing this either. You have the Swalwell's, the Schiff's, etc. But right now we certainly have a bunch of female DA's, AG's, and Governors who were picked and supported financially by wealthy leftists for a specific reason, and they did so willingly. For further meaning, refer to Fani Willis for starters or that loony constitution hating woman in the Governors chair in New Mexico, Grisham. All useful tools.
A friend once said that if I were God, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer would be the house band. Their arrangement of the Peter Gunn theme has never been surpassed.
Your post today is more proof we are winning and the left is losing their minds over it.The unrelenting attacks in the msm and bat shit craziness emanating from the regimes DOJ are the result of Don Surber,Elon Musk Tucker Truth Social VDH and others posting facts feelings be damned."Ye shall know the truth and the Truth will set you free".Charge on Poca-Man to a MAGA 2024 victory we pray.
Indeed, Heads Are Rolling! Thank you, Harlan!
That poll question today is a hard one. Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" versus the Venture's "Hawaii 5-O"? And the other three are great, too. But my vote has to go to the theme from "the Avengers" (the classic Brit series, not the Marvel superhero nonsense), which also had the sexiest woman ever in a TV show (Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel).
Admittedly a poor copy from YouTube, but Diana Rigg did a stripper number in the play "Follies". Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwC7tVKf0yY
Why, Mrs. Peel - I had no idea! (Heh!)
When I was a pre-teen boy, I had a crush on Diana Rigg even though she was old enough to be my mom; hardly ever missed an episode of "The Avengers" during the seasons that she was on. Even in her dotage, I thought that she still looked "hawt".
Same here. There was one episode in which she was dressed up in what amounted to a S&M outfit (which I later read got her royally ticked off at the producers). That episode was a defining moment of my childhood. And she was a really excellent actor; her appearance in the one Lazenby Bond movie was great.
They're telling us the national tv, newspaper and cable news is powerless to control the narrative with all this new media. Floggings will continue until morale improves.
Amen, they mourn their loss of control as they would mourn their loss of a parent or sibling.
Minor correction. Dylan Mulvaney is not a "man." He may be male (i.e.,, possessing two "X" chromosomes) but by no stretch of the imagination is he a "man."
Minor demurrer on best theme song from the early days of private eye TV shows. The theme from "Peter Gunn" is, without doubt the best musical effort in that vein, followed by the theme from the original "Hawaii Five O." You can now "Book 'em, Danno."
Speaking of the sexes, I note that the featured censorship advocates are female. And one of them confesses to lachrimose musings over being forced--FORCED!-- to teach Constitutional Law nowadays. The horror! What ever happened to "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"?
And finally, on the topic of censorship, did you ever notice that it's always the ones doing the censoring who are in favor of it? Yeah, strange, isn't it?
Steve, PLEASE write a Book!
After the first furlong, its Peter Gunn by a nose.
Darn this is an old crowd! My people! Wisdom reposited.
Henry Mancini composed Peter Gunn and John Williams played the piano in the original recording. Williams later composed some movie music.
Nice tidbit!
i dated john williams daughter-in-law. do i get a cookie?
Is “cookie” a typo?
i had to think about what you were getting at for a second. cookie was singular. it's an expression i use with my friends when i say something funny or am right about a point or what not. it was something don rickles used to say quite a lot.
Cookie rhymes with …
i was surprised that no one asked the obvious question.... his daughter-in-law would have to be married to his son so what was up? actually i dated her after they had gotten a divorce. wouldn't it be rich if she actually saw my post and commented here? she was smokin' hot and a fine lady.
Not "old", just "experienced".
If that makes you feel better. When I look in the mirror, experienced isn’t the first word that comes to mind.
When I look in the mirror I see five miles of gravel road that needs to be paved.
Your lucky as I see a dirt trail going back to weeds.
I guess we are just going back to nature, eh?
Reddog and Marlan- you guys are great!
I am more in line with seasoned senior. Let's all take a senior Skip Day. Those were the bomb, back in 1960. Graduation is gonna be great!
Two thumbs up!
lol.... the youngstas are busy taking pictures of their lunch with cellphones....
Our entire Federal Government is “Bizarro World” on steroids.
The entire purpose of government is TO PROTECT our Rights enshrined in the Constitution, yet absolutely every single thing they do is the geared toward the exact opposite effect, using their power to whittle away, bit by bit, year in and year out, by writing and passing endless regulations and Bills whose only purpose is to circumvent, curtail and crush those same God-given Rights, without exclusion!
Government is the most dangerous of all entities, as that power, in the hands of immoral men and women, is a sure guarantor of oppression.
There’s gotta be a better way.
P.S. I know there is: the 10 Commandments, which cover all aspects of spiritual and human life in 10 basic steps.
Stick to those, and life is good for you and your neighbor.
There is a better way, but he, who is merciful and just, has delayed his return.
