Take a minute to consider what might have happened if mass murderer of last Century

Hmmm, interesting, hamas protestors magically showed up almost as quickly as when DEMs selected a dead black felon to be their martyr for riots last presidential election cycle. Riots which were allowed to continue in DEM controlled cities.
As Kamala Harris said of the violent protests of 2020 :
“That’s right”. “But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you.”
“They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop,”.
“They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day.”
“Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not”
DEMs knelt to remember their dead black felon george floyd
for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in 2020 .

They did not take a knee to acknowledge these deaths,

They’ll take a knee for a publicity stunt to get black votes,

You are no different than Nancy Pelosi. Everything must come down to associating those with whom you disagree with some terrible bad actor. For Pelosi, everything is related to China and Putin. It’s ridiculous. Now, instead of addressing that many people don’t want the US to fund the murder of civilians on behalf of a foreign country, you have to hide behind the veil of Hamas nonsense. But keep it up – there’s still plenty of time for the Democrats to continue to use the same tactics before the next presidential inauguration.
Hows about putin gets Europe and china gets Taiwan then takes over most of Asia.
An iran gets the Mideast.

We’re experiencing a well crafted and well financed Public Relations campaign designed to pressure the enfeebled biden into curbing Israel’s justified pay back.
Beginning to think there are about same number of gullible Americans as there are uninformed voters.

Regarding Pelosi, everything is related to her plastic surgeon, her colorist, and her broker. And I cannot understand why people think it’s acceptable for Jews to be slaughtered but unacceptable for Israel to defend itself in a war they didn’t start. The United States had better be helping Israel, that’s for sure.
Remember 9-11. The gazans supported the terrotists. They are brainwashed by Hamas. What country would stand still when people at a concert are slaughtered, babies are slaughtered and hostages taken. Let’s have a ceasefire. Hamas returns the hostages and recognize Israel. No more River to Sea which is a genocide of a people. If not, destroy them
Original G -The “DEMS” didn’t select Floyd but he is symbolic of blacks men being killed by police for minor infractions or sometimes for nothing at all. There has been many incidents since. Just this week Frank Tyson died in Canton, Ohio man died in police custody after telling officers he couldn’t breathe as they allegedly kneeled on his back. His crime was he crashed his car into a pole.
Funny Doh that you don’t mention that the police did not find him in the crashed car … but rather in a business threatening people there. Hmm … selective reporting to try and represent our OPINION?

This might be a little presumptious, but I feel fairly certain that no one on this sight, no matter political persuasion, can defend Kristi Noem killing her dog, as well as a sheep.
I think she misread the public opinion on this one, she wanted to show she could be tough and deal with tough situations. How does killing a defenseless puppy compare to dealing with dictators and world leaders?
Couldn’t she have come up with another solution if the puppy did not behave they way she wanted it to.
Such as getting a dog trainer, or finding another home for the dog. It sounds like she took it on one hunting trip and because did act they way she wanted to, she right there and then decided to shoot it. Heartless’
I grew up around farmers, yes sometimes an animal needed to be put down, but usually it was because it was older, or sick and in pain, it was usually done humanely by a vet.
I’m pretty sure majority of Americans are dogs and/or animal lovers, and her actions does not sit well with them.
I think the biggest question is who on earth convinced her including the story was a good idea?
Hanne, I heard her talk about the dog. Kristi took the dog in from another family who couldn’t control the dog and had to get rid of him, and she hoped to train the dog because she had trained dogs before and have had success doing so. The 14 month old dog wouldn’t stop terrorizing other animals, and bit her and a couple other family members, and KILLED a couple of her neighbors farm animals. Once a dog starts killing other animals, are her small children in danger? Here in Concord dogs that bite and hurt people, are picked up by the pound. There might not have been one near by where she was. Some 14 month old dogs are big. Remember the St Mary’s tennis coach who was killed by a vicious big dog out side her apt door about 20 yrs go? Dogs can become dangerous. I love dogs too, and had a 130 lb Akita who lived almost 15 yrs when he was put to sleep because he could barely walk and he bit me as I walked by him, and I didn’t want him biting my grand kids. Found out he lost a lot of weight, but with his thick fur, it didn’t show that he went from 130 lbs down to 89 lbs. Kirsti Noem said, read her book, she talked a lot about it and they took things out of context, like the media is so used to doing.
Maga Sam, I’m sorry I don’t think I’m wrong, and from my experience most farmers are animal lovers. !4 months old is a very young dog, anyway that is not the issue. The issue is the dog was never given a chance.
Max I remember the story about the St. Mary’s coach, yes those were dangerous dogs. I’m more of a cat person and I’m not comfortable around certain big dogs, German Sheppards, Pittbulls, I would still not be comfortable with someone shooting them. She is the Governor of a state, I’m sure she could have found a vet to put the dog down if that was the only solution. The situation you describe with your dog is very different, your dog was old and sick, and you had him put to sleep, that was the right think to do. By the way Akita’s are one of my favorite dog breed, they are beautiful and irresistible as puppies.
I agree with you. This story was deeply disturbing. I can’t understand how someone can do something like she did, and then seemingly brag about it.
Yes, you are so correct, she should have tried a trainer before shooting the poor dog to death
If they dog is dangerous to people and children and another solution cannot be found, I can see taking it to a vet and have it humanely put dow, how can you take a gun and shoot what is suppose to be your pet, even if it is misbehaving? Read my post, I grew up in farm country, I have had numerous cats, when they the got old and sick I took them, with a heavy heart to the vet, and had them peaceful euthanized. Shooting a pet seems barbaric.
Sorry no matter how our of context the story might be I can’t excuse it. Since the story first broke and driving around town I listened to several right wing talk show hosts (there is no left talk shows here anymore) they condenmed her action. Armstrong and Getty kind of skirted around the issue, saying they wouldn’t comment on it, but couldn’t understand who thought it was a good idea to put it in the book.
A gun shot to the head is instant. Farmers used to kill live stock with a gun shot. If a horse broke his leg, they were shot. Kristi said her family was the last resort for the dog, the other family gave up on him and since she had trained several dogs, they tried. Then the dog started killing other animals–
You’re wrong as usual. That’s farm life. And no, it’s not usually done by a vet. It wasn’t a puppy. “It sounds like” isn’t the story. Why would you deceptively describe this if you’re so familiar with the story? Hmm suspect.
.
Now tell us how you feel about COVID HOAX perpetrator dr death anthony fauci torturing thousands of innocent puppies for “science”.
Bet you don’t .
Noem herself called the dog a puppy. Judge Jeanine Pirro was very critical of her actions. This is not a right or left issue, this is not a Trump supporter issue, this a animal lover issue. End of story.
Read Maxs post. The dog had already killed. Where I’m from, that is a good indication the dog should be put down. Where I’m from a bullet to the head is the most humane way to put an animal out of its misery. You confused 14 months with 4 months. Imagine this is a pit bull in Concord that has already killed the neighbors dog and bit the kids. What would animal control do? Your emotions are out of wack about this because she’s MAGA, nothing more. Using a vet is an option but not necessary a “more humane” option. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
.
Now tell me about Faucci LITERALLY TORTURING PUPPIES PLEASE.
Too bad she didn’t just send the dog away somewhere to live with “Other relatives”…..

HANNE ~
Our daughter & son-in-law were stationed up in Cordova Alaska for his Coast Guard service, the last 3 years.
There are no roads to Cordova, … just airplanes, boats and part time ferry.
A Vet would only come out there every 2 or 3 months.
If a dog was sick, hurt or a danger to anyone the means of care was to take it to the woods and shoot it.
Some Farmers and Mountain Folks do things a bit different than City Folks.
Oh but hanne knows better because she grew up on a farm….yeah. Again just doing her part to not MAGA. She listens to conservative talk radio. Who is Jeanine Pirro? And who cares what she said?
.
If this wasn’t a political issue to hanne, she wouldn’t be posting this in a political thread. Just like the COVID HOAX wasn’t political. Just an innocent old lady who works for Macys and immigrated from a farm town in denmark that didn’t side with nazis and an avid listener of conservative talk radio because NPR doesn’t tune in on her transistor radio..sure
you forgot being an au pair in Eastpoint
Westport, I’m flattered that you read my comments, even if you don’t like me.
Roz, I understand the situation you are describing, that is was not the case with Noem.
MagaSam, I’m pretty sure you know Jeanine Pirro, she is on Fox News and a staunch supporter of Trump.
I posted it here because it involves the governor of a state, I did actually contemplate posting it on “Whatever”; Your personal attack on my show what a small person you are, obviously taking lessons from Trump. No class.
Hanne, there are a lot of us that grew up on a farm…..40-50 miles from a vet, who btw was usually out on another large animal call. One does NOT always the “luxury” of having a vet nearby….
Ya do what ya gotta do. And sometimes the bullet to the head is the most humane way to handle it.
This ain’t Denmark, sweetie.
There is no need to be patronizing. All I’m saying in this case with Kristi being the governor I’m sure she had other options. From reading the excerpt on the internet and listening to several commentators, and not liberal ones, including dog trainers, it sounded like didn’t give the dog a chance and the same with the goat. The way she put it, “it was worthless and the goat smelled”. I agree if an animal is suffering and there is no other option a bullet can be humane. This dog was not suffering, couldn’t she lock it up for a day or two until she could find a more humane solution. I amazed how many are willing to defend her, would you do the same if she was a liberal? Just asking.
I don’t trust you or your intentions. You said “screw my freedoms” because the media told you it was the right thing to do. You post trash opinions and try to deflect responsibility because you’re just a simple open minded middle of the road immigrant…sure. You have straight lied and attempted to manipulate people about whatever the democrat topic of the day was be it ukraine, masks, inappropriate books in schools, antifa, george floyd, jussie smolet, race, gender, inflation, vaccines, whatever the democrat talking point is, you’re here pushing it. You are an opp, I don’t believe for one second you’re a member of the community. I think you’re a plant trying to portray as a normal person with simple honest opinions. Jeanine pirro is an old drunk media lady who gets paid to spew divisive nonsense. What are you?
Your comments about me get more and more ridiculus. You obviously have a problem with anyone who do not think like you. What do you mean you think I’m a plant? I live here I work here, (you know where to find me) I pay taxes. I have not lied, and how can I manipulate anyone, everyone have the freedom to make up their own mind, they can read my comments, not read them, disagree or agree, that is what this forum is all about. I don’t remember commenting on Jussie Smollet nor inflation. You think anyone not agreeing with you are lying.
It’s too bad hanne. I think you not agreeing with reality is the problem. It has nothing to do with me. Your battle is with truth and facts.
.
So how do you feel about dr anthony fauci torturing puppies?
she never said she killed a sheep
She did it is there black and white in her book. It is easy to find on the internet.
It was a goat . They are different from sheep. You need not apologize. I don’t care .
But it’s ok. Hanne said she grew up “around farmers.”
Sheep, goats, steers, puppies…. They’re all the same to her.
Obama admitted he ate dog….. no problem.
Where is the outrage?
“Grew up around farmers…” says nothing. Until you’ve worked/lived in a farm and depended on it for survival, you might want to reconsider your opinion.
I’ve known people that have grown up around doctors, veterinarians, nurses and dentists…does that make them knowledgeable about medicine?
I think not.
I understand farm life. My dad was a gardner, and the friends I played with and were friends with in my small community all lived on farm, small, big or medium. My girlfriend and I would ride through town as 10-11 years old on an old work horse, both of us on one horse, the horse was massive and very docile. We played in the fields with the cows. Do I know everything about farming, no. I do however know how rural life was in the fifties in Denmark. Does it compare to the US? No, the US is much bigger and they do things differently.
I stick with my point that no matter other situations, Kristi Noem had other options. I haven’t heard Trump defending her actions. In fact his daughter in law (Eric’s wife) is very passionate about rescuing animals. I think Kristi Noem’s chances to become VP is slim to none.
Only because it’s been a while, I’d just like to remind everyone dont look at me, I dont think I voted for him.
Imagine calling your political opponents
dangerous extremists because they want:
– secure borders
– free speech
– a balanced budget
– have foreign countries pay their fair share
of their own defense
– low taxes
-nuclear family values
– no chemical castration of minors
Trump has already won. Everyone wants these things.
In reference to politicians, there are so many horse’s a$$es that there aren’t enough horses.
Now biden wants to reverse the TRUMP TAX CUTS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS. Gotta love it
Reverse? They have already expired, and that was how Trump set it up.
Yes biden wants the middle and lower earners to pay more taxes. Can you believe it? biden could absolutely keep this in place. I thought he was for the poor people. Guess not.
I just can’t believe biden wants to destroy the middle class further. I thought he was the good guy. At least he doesn’t shower with his daughter like Trump…

America doesn’t have a firearm or high ammunition capacity problem, it has a serious mental health problem. IF you research in depth you find legal purchase of firearms by mass shooters is mainly due to a failure to update federal database with convictions, court actions, non reporting by Doctors, clinicians and military services. What is additionally needed is confiscation of firearms of those on or added to federal list.

They talked about how immigration is good for our country because American birth rate is down, and that immigrants will have babies born here as American citizens, and will grow up and vote Democrat.

I’m surprised that there were only 32 lies in Trump’s interview. Lying is his nature. It is who he is. He must have restrained himself in the Time interview.
Recently, Kamala Harris was leaving a restaurant and she was confronted by a reporter who asked her a serious question about a current conflict happening overseas, right now!

Noticed that as well. Funny how that works.
Being in the middle politically is the place to be. This is where the work gets done. Neither Marjorie Taylor Greene nor AOC speak for me. I think for myself, as I was educated to do, by my father (and mother).
The city that I live in, in Oregon, leans just slightly Democrat (52%-48% or so). We have low crime and safe clean streets, vibrant businesses, and a top-notch library. Homeless people are helped and housed. We live a mile from farms, and vineyards. Free concerts in the park during summer. Fresh corn and strawberries during the summer. Beef from cows raised 14 miles away. I live next door to a Christian conservative, and a nice liberal professor. I get along well with both and like them both.
This country is almost evenly split between conservatives and liberals. I just don’t have enough anger to hate one group or another.
Good luck now,liberal
Being in the middle doesn’t make me liberal. It doesn’t – as my liberal friends think – make me conservative. Is my pro-Second Amendment stance what you find liberal about me? Or is it my anti-crime stance? Is it the fact that I think rent-control is a bunch of b.s.? I look at each issue and make up my own mind. When something doesn’t work out, I re-evaluate my position. I have liberal positions on some issues, conservative positions on some issues, and right-in-the-middle positions on a lot of other issues. It works for me.
And apparently you live in Willoughby….
Hi Dr. Jellyfinger.
Great Twilight Zone reference! One of my favorite shows when I was a kid (and even now). Where I live is more like Mayberry, but brought into the 21st. century. We have some problems, like everywhere else, but the people on the left and on the right (e.g. on the city council) work together to fix things, rather than sniping at each other. It works here; it might not work everywhere. So here I stay, until my final visit to Willoughby.
1 ounce of liberal youre a liberal.its embarrassing and youre in denial,but be honest with yourself at least.You can lie in a public forum, and its just good fun.You cant ride the fence on this,its like being kind of pregnant
Whenwill That is ridiculous argument, you are bascially saying we all have to think alike. The biggest turn off for me is conservatives that are so closed minded they can entertain the thought of someone thinking differently, and another turn off is liberal that have the same attitude, both are very closed minded. Some issues are complex, not black and white, and of course as people grow and learn the are apt to see things differently. I’m mostly liberal, but a strong supporter of Israel, as those of you who come here will know, I lived there and loved the country and the people. I’m new here, is being honest, you are and embarrassment that you can’t entertain the idea of someone having different positions on different issues. Many are social liberals and fiscal conservatives, what do you call them? Aren’t their position just as legimate as yours?
Hanne,
Social Liberal + Fiscal Conservative = Libertarian……..which is “the center”, and most of “the swing voters” who are open to voting, “one way, or the other”, depending on the policies/ideas proposed by any given candidate. I have always voted “third party” my entire adult life, until 2016 when I realized that my vote would only help the candidates that I hated. Some of Trump’s rhetoric scares the crap out of me, but I can’t trust either of the two establishments, so I’ll choke down 4 more years of the “Orange Guy” until better people can step into the breach.
Too late for that. You’re either with making America great again or you’re for destroying it. There is no middle road. It doesn’t exist. Only old Americans fighting communism, or commie scum trying to tear everything normal apart. Everyone knows what you are.
Hi Sam,
You have an interesting perspective. Most of the people I know and have worked with through my life were pre-occupied neither with making America great, nor tearing it down. Most of them are just trying to get through life: working, commuting, raising families, dealing with their spouses, helping aging parents. going to church, volunteering in their communities.
None of MY liberal friends are trying to destroy the country. None of MY conservative friends are making America great again. Most are too busy with their children or grandchildren or jobs (or enjoying retirement).
I’m sorry your experience with liberals has been so bad to inspire your hatred, but my experiences with the the many liberals and conservatives among my friends and family (and neighbors and coworkers) has been almost completely positive, so I see things differently. What do you think of your liberal family members?
Works for me as well. However, most people want to put you in a box and keep you there. If you say you are a liberal, but a strong supporter of Israel, they don’t believe you. Funny how others think they can define you. I too have friends that are more liberal than me, and some way to the right, but we manage to be friends. Although one of my Danish girlfriends who is much more liberal than me, and very critical of Israel, we don’t discuss these issues, mostly because she can’t debate. When it comes to social issues and lifestyles I’m more liberal than she is.
I find myself in a similar conundrum. More conservative than liberal, but still a few too many liberal ideas to feel fully at home at a MAGA rally.
Anyway, I used to say things similar to you about my town of Concord, but sadly no longer. Elon Musk calls it the “Woke Mind Virus”. It usually infects the public schools first, then your city government. In its final stages it infects the chamber of commerce.
Perhaps you live far from sources of infection like Portland of Eugene to feel safe, but don’t assume it can’t reach your city.
What say you ? ? ?

Is this bill an attempt to buy black votes for DEMs thru preferential treatment ?

In other words, having a license does not indicate competency.
And racism will again be the word of the day – just because some were given preferential treatment in their license application.
How about this… do the same thing for drivers licenses, medical licenses, etc….
For this left in California, it’s time to move away from the filth and corruption of the “5th largest economy.”
But don’t forget – California wants to tax your income even if you retire and move out of state.

An since we’re on fast food, ain’t it grand what His Imperial Majesty Emperor newsom and knee jerk DEM super majority in CA state legislature did to fast food workers ? ? ?
.
‘Fast-food restaurants in California are laying off workers to prepare for the $20 minimum wage hike’
https://www.businessinsider.com/california-fast-food-restaurants-lay-off-workers-minimum-wage-hike-2024-3
.
Look for kiosks replacing workers to accelerate nationwide as result of DEM’s move here in CA.
DEMs once again screwed over the people they claimed to be helping, same thing happened to CA farm workers after CA piled on laws, regulations and red tape eventually making automation cheaper to use than human labor. Saw first hand on my previous job the huge advances in machine vision, process automation and control, advances in programmable logic controllers (PLC) and software in past 25 years.

Funny thing about DEM politicians, they come up with half baked ideas then expect everything will magically go their way and there will be no negative effects. WRONG

I wonder if Democrats even realize they are being duped?
Worse would be if they realize it but pretend they don’t….
content to go along with chickensh*t Joe until all this election bother passes.
Hi Doctor J.
I don’t think most Democrats are being duped. Joe Biden is extremely unpopular with a large percentage of the Democrats I know. While he is not completely responsible for the economy, his policies are generally inflationary, which works against most of us. His handling of the border has been atrocious.
But the powers-that-be have anointed Donald Trump and Joseph Biden as the candidates, so that is the choice Dems and Repubs have. Most Democrats dislike Trump more than Biden, just as more Republicans dislike Biden than Trump. I would have preferred two other candidates; Trump and Biden are way too old and much too divisive. And both come with some old nasty-smelling baggage.
Works for me as well. However, most people want to put you in a box and keep you there. If you say you are a liberal, but a strong supporter of Israel, they don’t believe you. Funny how others think they can define you. I too have friends that are more liberal than me, and some way to the right, but we manage to be friends. Although one of my Danish girlfriends who is much more liberal than me, and very critical of Israel, we don’t discuss these issues, mostly because she can’t debate. When it comes to social issues and lifestyles I’m more liberal than she is.
Again I agree with “I’m new here”, I too would have liked to see someone younger and more vibrant on either side.

Have another view,
28 October 1980 Ronald Reagan asked these questions,
“… are you better off than you were 4 years ago?
Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was 4 years ago?
Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was 4 years ago?
Is America as respected throughout the world as it was?
Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we’re as strong as we were 4 years ago?”

Would you rather have a career Swamp Creature as President who needs a poll to decide what he thinks or a person hasn’t spent decades being a politician?

It is also an accurate description of many American voters.

By direction from that puppeteer Obama, Biden the puppet has let in almost as many illegal aliens as Ellis Island did lawfully in 60 years.
Hi Mike,
Close enough to Portland to enjoy shows and stuff like the T-Rex exhibit at the science museum, but far enough away and in a different county to avoid the Portland problems. The county is primarily liberal techies and conservative farmers and vineyard owners, which is a fine mix and brings in a nice stream of income for our city and county.

Ah yes, “newcomers”.

Why not come to America where DEMs let in and protect predatory scum.
If they stayed in their own country and preyed on tender aged, life expectancy is short.

Looks like they are doing exactly what i said that would do to your PGE bill had announced,They are going to add a flat fee rate hike of $50 to $100(estimate) per month to your bill so that EV owners get a break but non EV owners pay for the EV people to charge their car (electrical infrastructure surcharge)to pay for this massive spending needed for cars that cant be driven for longer than 10 years or more than a few hours,if you go just 55 mph and dont use AC of course.Great deal for EV people if course and taxation without representation of the masses,just the lefties.I told you this was coming………

Have zero proof to support this,
Wouldn’t surprise me if college protests an what’s happened in mid east wasn’t all run past obama first long before 07 October. Perhaps decades from now proof might come out, one way or the other.
So now Chris Cuomo, one of the chief peddlers of Covid BS, has had an epiphany.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/chris-cuomo-makes-ivermectin-face-210453781.html
“I am taking … a regular dose of Ivermectin. Ivermectin was a boogeyman during COVID. That was wrong. We were given bad information about Ivermectin. The real question is, why?”
“Cuomo walked that back – way back – suggesting that part of the reason Ivermectin was so vehemently rejected was that there was no profit in a drug that was already inexpensive and widely distributed.”
Looks like Chris has seen the light. We were force fed BS. To this day, many continue to gobble up said BS after reluctantly removing their masks and saying, “Thank you sir, may I have more”.
What does it take for the lunatic left to realize and admit that Govt mandated lies force them to live in unnecessary fear and servitude?
This Was Obama’s Plan From The Beginning. Prove me wrong!
Breaking: House Democrats Vote UNANIMOUSLY to Give Illegal Aliens Representation in Congress and the Electoral College
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/breaking-house-democrats-vote-unanimously-give-illegal-aliens/
HAPPYPAPPY,
.
Illegal aliens already have “representation in Congress and the Electoral College.” This House bill passed with Republican votes, but it won’t pass in the Senate, therefore, nothing changes from the current system. Republicans knew exactly where House Democrats stood on this issue prior to the vote, they also knew that this bill wouldn’t pass the Senate, if the Senate were to vote on this bill at all, so, they instead chose to waste more time and our money on an election year political stunt.
Distract the rabble and steal a country.
Once they have control of congress they will turn the country into a giant California.
Gruesome Newsom and his band of minions which he hand picked for the public utilities commission are at it yet again. He has directed PG&E to increase monthly prices over the next two years for many California ratepayers regardless of energy consumption. Another words people will be paying more for others bills who have less income. So some people will lose incentive to conserve. It appears he doesn’t care that many more will flee this failed state due to his pathetic policies…
“in other words” = “another words”?(makes no sense) for those that didnt pay attention in school…..
Biden’s $430 billion student loan forgiveness plan shot down in court.To give him the nickname” Mr false hope” is being kind.
