Just from the title, gets my approval. Laughing.
Gota go to work but this post caught my eye.
Checking it out tonite, Freedom.
Thanks

This Spyridon Andrews, Yes this is good, I will look up his substack.

Some comments:

Ranking colonial powers would surely put Britain, and the US, high on the list. A curious fact, or my opinion, near the bottom would be The Netherlands. Why?

Hong Kong. One of the great success stories, The British had the great good luck (or was it?) to find this odd chap, Cowperthwaite, for governor, who just let the population go ahead, which they did. Mind you, traditional Chinese cultural features of industriousness and low concern with political theory surely helped. Now, sadly, Hong Kong is subsumed into the morass of China.

India. Agree about cricket. Someone said that cricket when India and Pakistan teams play, reduces tension. That, or the opposite. Only cultures rich in carrying useless rituals over centuries could appreciate cricket.

The middle east. Andrews makes sensible comments.

Andrews says:
The more important question is not who was here first. The more important question is who governs well. I submit that political legitimacy is derived from creating conditions in which human beings can flourish. Legitimacy is established through justice, the protection of liberty, the maintenance of order and safety, the safeguarding of property, the encouragement of opportunity, and the principle that rulers themselves are subject to law.

There is American writer James Michener whose Hawaii I read with delight when I started serious reading. Mitchener in The Source puts much the same theme, that legitimacy of ownership and control is demonstrated, not by being there first, but by using the land, the people and resources, well.
(Re The Prodigal Son.).

Just know that all this came from Trump and Q on Truth Social just as you may have seen in last weeks post.

The View is disgusting, really. My mom watches it.

Obobo would get all excited by the smell of piss . . .

Ooh... That's the upgraded version.

Where the restrooms are on top of the dog...
And they let gravity decorate the wall...

I didn't think of that. I'd probably pay up to $20 to use that restroom!

On Correction. The Islam 2024 photo should be a group of "Asian Teens" helping themselves to a DIVERSITY UK girl instead of the goat!

The Whole thing was the fight for Freedom, freedom from a foreign maritime system and begin an American Land based Order.

I expected that to be expressed verbally along with a symbolic representation.

Now I just found out the event was postponed till 8pm and the fight at 9pm and will not be televised free.
Guess we'll have to hear about it afterward.

He made a big deal about this on Truth Social, I expected more . . .

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting! As always, we must be wary of the statement "We are from the government, and we are here to help you."

Which event, his birthday party, the fight, or the Iran deal signing?

👍 Thanks for posting this revealing article on corruption.
While reading it, I was reminded of a letter I read earlier today on a completely different topic, but with the same conclusion.

Yea, I won't have to worry until tonite, this afternnoon after work I'll bring in the seedlings we have growin.
I'll be checkin out what Trump reveals today, I don't see him being completely quiet on the subject.

Nice set, OUC. Thanks for posting. On the fly right now as I have to grab breakfast and do a few outdoor chores before the rain starts.

Not my cup of tea, but if I'm free at the moment I might just tune in for the spectacle of it.

No apology necessary, rainman0720. A real thinker can take only so many doses of idiocy before screaming, "STOP! STOP!". Recall Dagny screaming over Ellis Wyatt's burning oil fields when understanding what made him do it in the first place.

Young men shifting away from the idiocy towards a more conservative life is the quiet scream. Fools, like those on "the View", can only attempt at mocking and sneering because they have no understanding.

Anyone going to watch the event at the White House today?

so many things require a second or third thought to decode what true meaning may be. If you can do this all is well.

There are things happening nowadays that can turn a man to - . .

One of those is The View, and the mind set behind it.
If this is progressivism, I'll take religion.

It may be the people, I tried not to look at the pics.

A good example showing AI is only as good as the programmers and managers that made it. I wonder if DeepSeek would set up a gulag re-education center outside the town.

We in the Gulch are not surprised except maybe it's bigger than originally thought. Reminds me of this statement from a Russian author: "They lied to us. We know they lied to us. They know we know they lied to us...".

And they tried to tell us all that was a lie but we knew it was true, She just proved it.

Now the left goes, Crickets

Thanks, OUC! Where can I contribute to that fountain? I've got a few bucks, and a full bladder!

All of this would be embarrassing to the woke leftists, but they have proven over and over to be incapable of being embarrassed by their retarded - I mean vaccinated - ideas and policies.

Best start to a Friday ever!!! You topped your best with these nasties! The fountain will stay with me forever, as will Christians vs Islamists. Great batch!
