Don't forget booze. Booze always has value. Good idea! I need some security tips, where do you have your stash hidden?  | ||

I was always thinking shampoo as apocalyptic currency. Women want pretty hair, men want happy women,(with pretty hair). It doesn't really ever go bad, and can be used for other cleaning needs too, Dish cleaning hand washing, laundry etc.. It would be like the glass beads the East India company traded with Native Americans for fur. No practical use, but because the women wanted them, they had high relative value. Beads were handier for bedazzling. I imagine it is tough to drill a threading hole through a seashell with a porcupine quill, (or however it was done). | ||

Shampoo is a great suggestion. Soap too. Good, "walking" trade material. Booze is very useful. There's a Filk song that is a teaching song for the Bad times. https://genius.com/Leslie-fish-black-powder-and-al cohol-lyrics https://www.breitbart.com/news/punishment-awaits-n bas-commissioner-for-defaming-china-state-media/ China has portrayed the protesters as violent separatists and bristled at what it calls “foreign interference” in the matter. Sure. When the Dictator for life of the most powerful terror government in history, that has murdered more of it's own subjects than any other, decided to ignore treaty and impose his government's arrest and disappear policy on Hong Kong, "separatist" is a good term for people who don't want to be murdered. The "violent" part? Depends on which videos you saw. There sure is violence. | ||

Envious. Barack Hussein Obama, Communist Party member, Democrat, President of the United States by Grace of Foreign Bribe Millions, openly wished he could punish those who opposed him like the Murder Regime in Beijing. Envy. Antifa, the protected action arm of the Democrat Party, Communist thug division, which none of the Presidential candidates will publicly condemn, are ideological brothers to the Party Thugs in uniform and in plainclothes, that beat protesters for freedom in Hong Kong. Envy. The Party officially rejects Religious Liberty and decrees itself above religion, just like China. Envy https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/dnc-passes -resolution-criticizing-religious-liberty-and-prai sing-the-religiously-unaffiliated The 2024 platform will be even more interesting, I bet. Reeducation camps? Envy. Just Joe orders the Media to not report accusations against his family corruption. like Xi orders cartoon characters banned. Good thing no one compares Joe to Pooh. ( not smart enough ) Envy. Halal signs, Gadsen flags, religious liberty, all threaten the Power of The Holy State. So Democrat Leaders wish they could order the symbols removed by Decree like in China. Envy. Darn close to Covet. Of course, I'm biased. My take on Republican Party leadership isn't as forgiving. | ||

Barr talked at length about a "campaign to destroy the traditional moral order." The alleged perpetrator of this campaign? "Militant secularists," who insist upon keeping government institutions free from the influence of any faith or creed. To be clear: This was not merely an affirmation — delivered by a devout Catholic, while visiting a Catholic university — of how privately taught religious values can contribute to character development or stronger communities. No. This appeared to be a tacit endorsement of theocracy. - Catherine Rampell of the Washington Post Seems to me a Party that boos mention of God and declared it is Godless Secular, and who's leaders openly question if a Christian, much less a dreaded Catholic, can have divided loyalties between his Faith and the Holy State... Is a theocracy. Blake, I think you might appreciate Barr's speech. It's apparently too scary for Notre Dame. Raw Truth is too harsh for them. | ||

Biological male sets a world record in WOMEN’S CYCLING Sure, that seems legit!  | ||
| Aesquire |
Sifo, it seems women's sports will need to have legal battles over putting asterisks after all the records and wins of the "biological male" athletes that have invaded the various sports. There's some backlash from girls who have been "cheated" out of scholarships and chances for a team. A conspiracy nut might believe that the sudden change in government policies is related to the previous White House Occupiers... And from there to mystery death of a female comedian.  But I'll stick to a radical leftist agenda to divide and conquer us by pushing every possible difference between us millions of individuals into groups to be victimized and victim exploited. THAT is evident from their own writings and speeches.

Funny, but the progressives have made "cultural appropriation" taboo. At the same time, somehow, sexual appropriation is commended. It's hard to keep up! | ||
| Aesquire |
There's more than one side to this subject. There is a minority, very small, of people with real issues accepting their own bodies. What's in your head isn't necessarily a choice. You don't choose to be depressed, or anxious, or dyslexic, and science isn't close to really explaining everything in a person's brain with chemical formulas or circuit diagrams. I am of the opinion that the current spike in transsexual teens is mostly an odd cultural thing, and we could go on at length about how hard it is to be an adolescent, what the unfair pressures are that society puts on people, but I just want to suggest you remember High school and tv commercials and the insane mating dances of your teens, then point out that between the internet, the shift in education from logic to "critical theory", and politics of division and victim mindset exploitation, that today is fracking cranked up to 12 compared to our days. I had National Geographic and stolen Playboys. They've got Pornhub & 4chan. I didn't have a word for my neighbor, and they sell MILF t-shirts now. ( the sentiment was there, but we didn't have the language. And there's truth in the Orwellian idea you can't think of something you don't have words for ) You can add your own personal differences...then and now. Where do you draw the line when the pressure is to have no lines? So I think it unfair that girls have to compete with boys in sports, because the boy wants to be a girl. And I have no idea how to be fair to that boy. ??? I'm pretty sure most of the pre adolescents with gender problems are victims of adult attitudes, well meaning & not. But I don't know how you can simply tell who's messed up & needs medical help & who to bury alive to keep them from ruining other people. | ||

Here's the thing, and perhaps I'm just some sort of neanderthal... When someone claims to be a male stuck in the body of a female, or the reverse, what does that actually mean. I'm pretty sure it just means that they don't accept who they are and really have no clue how to fix it. Is there really a male vs. a female mind? If you really accept this, then you have to be accepting of the idea that one is probably a better natural leader, of nations and businesses. I'm more of the mindset that there may be trends, one way or the other on certain points, but the overlap of the bell curve is huge, making it far from clear cut how a male or female thinks and acts. Now certainly hormones will affect how an individual acts. If you are thinking that hormone therapy, to make you more like the sex you were not born with will fix your issues, I'm willing to bet that your issues have little to do with hormones or what's between your legs. It's far more likely that you just don't accept yourself, and won't feel better about yourself as you start to medically change your sex. I do feel bad for those folks, but the reality is that most are just as miserable, if not more so after completing a sex change. I believe that there is a great deal of projection by those who are unaccepting of themselves, but demand that others accept them for who they are. But, what do I know? I don't have a degree in women's studies, or abnormal psychology, or anything like that. I didn't even sleep at a Holiday Inn last night. | ||

Sifo, you got it on the bell curve. The People slicing us up into slivers of humanity want to divide and conquer by getting people to hate others. Lots of power in hate. Randy is a bit of a Liberal, but so am I. I'm also an unrepentant counter revolutionary. Progressive is a lying cover for regressive, back to rule by the self chosen elite. And they stole the title of Liberal to hide their true face. You can blame Rush & others for falling for that. Today, more and more boldly declare or reveal the real face, albeit many wear black masks as they beat up elderly folk out of cowardice. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/10/the -welfare-industrial-complex.php A study years ago showed 78% of every dollar spent on "the poor" went to pay government bureaucrats who make about double the national average. Bet you that number hasn't improved. It's the cold hard math reason socialism doesn't work. ( except for the bureaucracy ) Average income USA is roughly $50k. If government taxed it all and redistributed it equally, that's $12k to everyone. ( but $100k to the bureaucrats ) Yeah. It's really that simple. Now you know why they say math is racist. | ||

perhaps I'm just some sort of neanderthal... I don't know what it's like to be born with the wrong parts, but I don't think you need to. There will always be micromanagers (some are trans) who try controlling everyone around them and everyone has to learn how to deal with them (trans people too). 99% of the time people are more interested in what you have to say than WTF sex you are. But boy that other 1% of the time some of those micromanagers get violent and you risk being attacked, and that's the part that's not cool. I think the hormonal injection aspect of trans is an epic fashion statement. Many dumpy old men who decide to act out and they start cross dressing think they'll become Marilyn Monroe and the star of the party, but after a year they look in the mirror and see they're just a dumpy old woman. I suppose that half of those who get the operation are still suicidal, but the other half feel better. I think the difference between the male mind and the female mind is the effect of the hormones. I think as we age and the hormones poop out, we start thinking and acting more similarly. Being a neanderthal is cool. Lots of people come from neanderthal stock. I think some study said that neanderthals contributed superior immunity to modern human DNA? I also think it's a great fashion statement. | ||

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/10/chuck ie_schumer_proposes_cash_for_clunkers_all_over_aga in.html While "cash for clunkers" failed by every objective measure to achieve it's stated goals, it offered an opportunity for owners of rusted & worn out cars and trucks to get a cheap, usually foreign, car at a discount, by giving them an artificially high trade in payment for their old junk. I have previously, and will again, Thank You for paying taxes to buy my old Grand Caravan. It had just reached the state of rot that one side of the driver's seat had collapsed into the floor/frame and was going to require me to junk the car. It had only scrap value in the open market. To be fair, I got more than my money's worth out of it, and the drive train was in perfect condition, meaning when they deliberately destroyed the engine to remove all possibility of resale, they broke the best part. ( other than the glass, I suppose ) Again, thanks. I realize you had the choice of arrest by armed men & prison time, or pay for my car. ( and since it was an Obama program, probably paid for by borrowing Red Chinese money made from stealing American technology ) And like most, I bought a foreign made ( Mexico ) high gas mileage car. ( few American made cars qualified. It might be interesting to see how much foreign car companies bribed Obama and Congress to pass Cash For Clunkers ) Yeah, I paid more in taxes too. But I got a sweet deal, never mind the later criminal fraud case against VW. It really helped me at a time of economic depression and high fuel costs. ( both also Obama programs ) And we guys that keep our cars years after the loan is paid off, until they have little resale value, have ANOTHER opportunity to cash in on a "well meaning" Big Government Program by trading up ( or sideways ) to an Electric car! It's not done yet. But my Senator is pretty good at his Real unofficial job, getting tax money to pay off the rich men who bribe him, so it's a pretty good bet. So you might want to hold onto, and maintain the legal status ( registered on the road ) any ready to be junked vehicles that qualify for the New Deal Program. At least until we know it will or won't pass. Yeah, I know it's hypocritical to encourage this behavior. But it is a chance to get in on some rebate to your taxes. | ||
