How the do we get this guy off of here? These are of exceptional poor taste and have zero redeeming value. I don’t believe in cancel culture, but it’s time.
I agree with Twos, I understand Patches' position, but don't care for the presentation method. But as long as conduct is respectful to other members here, I see no reason to censor. The scroll wheel still works.
The first is clever, nasty, but it's ( The Harris\Biden* invitation to invasion by children and the regime's mistreatment of them ) a story of lies and cover ups so I enjoyed the mockery.
The second I'm not sure I get. I assume it's a slam on ABC, who probably deserve contempt, but since I'm apparently missing some aspect? No opinion.
The third is quite clever. I'm pro choice, and Planned Parenthood is faithfully executing it's founder's dream of eugenics and genocide. Truth in humor.
The fourth, Hillary baby pedo dungeon, is meh. Bull s@#$ propaganda. Feel free to argue whose propaganda, but it's obvious crud. Thumbs down.
Feel free to disagree. I'm not a Leftist censoring hate exploiter, so you are welcome to have your own opinion.
Life is sacred and it's not the mother's body. It's inside her body. We ought at least be able to compromise to Euro level regulations banning abortions after 10 to 14 weeks. Nope. one party demands unfettered abortion all the way to birth. Hillary voted against a ban of partial birth abortion.
Each of us must confront our indifference about abortion. As this priest said, you cannot abort the fact that God sees all, even the unseen that we keep from our friends, family, neighbors, and our Church.
There is nothing more sacred then the beginning of life and the promise God imbues in each of our consciences.
If each of us would share this video with our families, friends, neighbors, and our Church pastorate, then pray for repentance and salvation, this world we currently live in will change, in God's timing.
Consider eternity and all that your life here has done. As the old saying goes..."smoking or non-smoking" when we die!

I watched the video, he's on point. There is a price to pay for killing the innocent, either in this life or in the hereafter.
Part of the problem of modern society is the disregard of God's Will. Take for instance what Jesus Christ said about harming children:
"If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
This is how serious of a crime abortion is. Compare that to what society is preaching today (quote from Jerry Nadler):
"Mr. Steube, what any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress,"
If Congress abandons God, then God will abandon Congress. Ignoring God's Will is not without consequences.
Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. There are not many wise people left in Congress.
I just ignore thread like this unless I'm in the mood to spray flammable liquid into the smoldering flames of poor taste.
It's like talk radio. There's a channel knob, and a power knob. Don't like the talk? Use a knob.
Me, I finished one long book series last week, Weber's Safehold series. This week I have the last 2 Stirling Emberverse novels, on deck.
I got halfway through the next to last book last year, and family drama put me not in the mood for mind games, so I put it aside.
I think I'll restart it with a bowl of popcorn and Pretty Reckless/Avenged Sevenfold on the computer to get a good Goth vibe going.
Then I can get back to the Harry Dresden series. Apparently one of my favorite things from the tv series ( I only saw a few ) isn't in the novels. Pity. Harry, the classic film noir Hard case Chicago detective, I mean Wizard, in the show, uses a hockey stick for a Wizard's Staff. Very practical. If the spells can't stop the monster, go to old school violence.
I was just discussing at home the other day how some books with some practical knowledge that were perfectly acceptable decades ago are considered contraband now and could put one on one of those fancy government lists. Kinda crazy.
I like reading about interesting things...like the long term development of certain firearms. The subtle evolution (assuming a good design) is fascinating. Aircraft development is another one...though unfortunately that's too involved to get into all the nuances. I've found it annoying that so much of that information is topical...but it suffices for curiosity's sake. The general evolution and use of edged and blunt weaponry is quite a ride as well.
Motorcycles are another one. For some reason I'm drawn the the mid to late 90's...where chassis development was pretty good yet things were electronically simplistic. The modern bikes with all of their electronic wizardry are safer, easier to ride, and are extremely refined, but are generally lacking the character of their older brethren.
Unfortunately it doesn't cover the French and Russian engines, possibly because documentation was destroyed. But otherwise it's full of mechanical porn. The cutaway drawing of the Napier Sabre alone really needs a poster.
Check out the table of contents. I notice Amazon prices are much higher. So shop around.
Pretty much every engine advance except modern electronics and electric camless valve actuation was developed before the end of WW2. Variable valve timing, hemi heads, 4 valves per cylinder, port fuel injection, etc. There have been advances in metallurgy, bearings are better, and titanium, some of the plasma sprayed coatings, but otherwise...
I especially liked the monster Chrysler V16. The direct ancestor of the famous Hemi. It was a failure because of... Bureaucracy.
To be fair, the Hyper Engine program was bold. The Army laid down a wish list of what they thought would be big leaps in technology, but some of those choices were simply wrong. For example, radiators can be smaller, thus less drag and weight, if the coolant passing through is hotter. ( bigger difference in temperature, faster heat flow ) So they specified a temp that turned out to be too high for a happy engine. None of the Hyper program engines was a success, but by golly some were impressive.
Anyhoo. If you want a decent explanation of sleeve valves and too much detail on Bendix fuel injection "carbs", this is the coffee table book for you.
