If a reporter or journalist is willing to sit I'm a foxhole with a soldier on the front lines to get the story, then they definitely deserve some respect.

Like the reporter who went with US troops I'm A Stan and made The Hornets Nest documentary
I miss Marie Colvin. Straight out of a pulp adventure novel badass who waded into every war she could find to report on it.

Yeah really, that's her, if you cast a movie called "Badasses of the World" she'd be eliminated from the star role due to being overqualified. She lost the eye reporting on the action in Sri Lanka when she was hit by an RPG because lesser weapons didn't work on her, and then went back to reporting on wars after getting an eyepatch because of course she did. If you directly translated her into an adventure novel people would call her unrealistic. She crossed into freakin' Syria on a Motocross bike to get the word out because ordinary cars just weren't badass enough for her. The Syrians took a hit out on her and it took two hours of mortar fire to kill

I miss Marie Colvin. No other reporter has come close since. When they hit that kind of badass, or heck half her level of awesome, they can pat themselves on the back for their courage.

Damn.
The father son that went to A-Stan with the Army were getting shot at themselves. They were right there next to the soldiers, out if the way but close enough they were talking while under fire.

We need more real reporters and Journalists.

Like what Tim Pool used to be

What stories does America's premier "Democratic Socialist" publication have to say about that three week long John Deere strike?



To be fair REM and Dungeons and Dragons are pretty important but then again, I think The Sietch has covered the 'John Deere' Strike more.

sigh At this point, I've become convinced that violence is going to not only be needed but will be the best option for restoring sanity.

The Democrats don't care about the law. They have become a bizarre mix of the Nazis and the Stalinists from the 20th. The high road that conservatives have been taking isn't going to work, nor is turning the other cheek constantly. Being "better" than them is not going to do you or your children any good if you're dead or as good as dead.

There is never going to be a "Red Wave" because they're not going to allow it. They're going to do everything they can, especially illegally, to stop it -- all the way down indoctrinating children.

This isn't politics anymore: This is a war of survival. The choice is lay down and die or fight back.

Wirt from Diablo I had a great quote when you asked him about demons -- if you're a Diablo fan, you'll know the one. It's pretty applicable here, too.

smh Being Black does not entitle you to superior treatment over Whites and Asians, despite what the morons in BLM and their Democrat cronies believe.

I'm glad those fucking racists are miserable.

When you look at the dots of where people are politically.

Populists, catholics, union members, hispanics, and african americans actually cluster in a similar bubble. During the realinment thats the coalition that Trump tried to create. IF you look where the dems are, their spread out all over the place Bidens coalition is a coalition of the establsihment.

Black voters have more in common with values wise with the trump coalition and after generations of dem control things are pretty bad, thing is if black america becomes competive or even just gets a third of the african american vote thats it the republican party becomes the natural ruling party of the united states.

For a party thats the establishment party thats a death sentence hence why their so hysterical.

Good: Let the scum squirm in their muck. The more these pseudo-Nazi and Communist assholes squeal in fear, the better off the world, not just America, is.

Now they are trying to pull Reefer Madness from it's grave to cover the ass of the adverse vax reactions, while also using 'climate change' again to justify their crap.

I would say this is hilarious, but it's honestly just kind of sad by this point at the lengths they're trying to go to.

Cope! Cope, everywhere!

The vaccines, which is a misnomer since they're more like flu jab boosters and not actual preventative vaccines, are dangerous. They are either killing people, maiming them, or making them more fucking vulnerable to COVID. They do not work.

If I'm remembering it right the Crusade against marijuana began for two reasons:

- paper made from hemp was cheaper than paper made from wood
- marijuana comes from the same species of plant and that's what Mexicans smoked instead of using good 'ole American tobacco or the opium considered respectable by those with money.

Partly correct.

The first anti-cannabis laws were enacted, ironically, in Colorado as a measure against Hispanic families who had lived here, specifically in the San Luis Valley, since before the Mexican-American war and were a very insular community because of how old it was (San Luis is the oldest European settlement in Colorado, and near the northern limit of where Coronado himself ventured)

Then they started gaining favor among others who wanted to discriminate against Hispanics in other locations, and then the paper industry jumped on board to kill the competition, and the rest is history.

Basically: racism and money.

I knew it started before Hearst got involved but didn't know it went back to that.

Oh,they DO WORK.Only not as they told us.
financial elites once used World wars to destroy old system and control more people.Now,it is too risky,if they start WW3 they could really die.So,instead of WW,we have CV.and vacciness to made sure that people would keep dying.
So- vacciness work very well - as source of their income,and tool in turning people into frightened mob which do whatever elites wonted.

In Poland we have doctor who use Amantadine to heal people with CV.Cheap drug,no problems.But goverment is buing a lot of vaccines,and send controls to try destroy doctor bussiness.They failed so far.
