  1. Seeing as usual, the media’s deliberate conflation of failing to raise the debt ceiling and “default”. This is about like saying that failing to pay your Netflix bill on time puts you in bankruptcy.

    If the government can’t borrow more money, it is limited to its revenue, which comes in all the time, and simply has to prioritize interest payments over other spending. As debt matures and is paid off additional debt can be taken on to replace it and that debt can be used to pay first interest and then other spending. Yes, there are diversity consultants who might get paid late, but that’s not “default”.

    The Congresscritters understand perfectly and mostly they do not want the diversity consultants to get paid late, so expect a bipartisan critical mass of them to go along with the false media narrative.

    Let’s see if Mitch McConnell busts up the Republican filibuster a second time.

  2. President Biden says he has “no regrets” over [classified documents being found at his house], and he didn’t tell the US about that event, until AFTER the 2020, Congress elections.

    Sure.

    With the Democrat’s leaders, is a case of: ” illegal, classified documents for ME, but not for THEE.”

    Biden, and his Democrat supporters, + his Democrat-supporters in the press- have NO PROBLEM when-A Democrat, or a Democrat President, [accidentally] breaks the law(?), and has [classified documents] that he shouldn’t have.

    BUT when [classified documents] are found in ex-president TRUMP’s house, then these certain Democrats all say:

    “look out! Trump puts our country in DANGER! He’s an idiot! He’s putting us in danger of leaking our government secrets! He’s crazy! What about our missiles? Call the FBI and raid his house! Get the SWAT team and raid his house! Investigate him! Arrest Trump! Throw him in court! Put him in prison! How could he do this to US?, How could he do this to the nation? What has happened to the nation!”

    But when Biden does the same thing with [classified documents], most of the Democrats, and most of the nation’s reporters say about it:

    “Well….whatever. That’s not a bad thing. It’s not a problem.”

    Their doing this act of hypocrisy, or a double standard- is very, very unfair.

    If the leaders in our government, and the USA’s political parties, and the reporters, do not- hold Biden, and Trump, to the same rules, law, or standard, then- there is no fairness in how the US Government treats the US people, and there is no justice in how the US reporters treat the US people.

    Our government can’t be run by [a president], or by political parties, whose main tactic when there are problems is to say:

    “Democrats GOOD, Republicans BAD!”,

    or,

    “Republicans GOOD, Democrats BAD!”,

    or,

    “We GOOD, and that other group is BAD!”

    (That is just amazing).

    If you’ll pardon me for say this, but- the US people deserve a better way of governing, than this style of governing.

    This is just, completely, unacceptable.

    Here is an article on that story:

  3. Huh.
    I edited my comment, above, but the changes didn’t go through.

    Oh well.

    A point I tried to put in that comment is, we can’t have a political system that says:

    “A Democrat messes up?…no problem. A Republican messes up?…Then it’s a total disaster.”,…and saying the opposite doesn’t work either.

    Cheers.

  4. Snow on Pine:

    One of Tucker Carlson’s many garbage stories. Gateway Pundit isn’t far behind him.

    I have written tons on the subject of the Kennedy assassination already, so I won’t repeat it at the moment.

  5. Hey cool.
    My edited comment, my 1st comment on this page, is now here.
    Thanks for fixing it, neo. 🙂

    I blame my problems, on my buying my computer, from Target’s toy department. *snickers* 😀 😀

  6. This video shows the way humans have adapted to the environments in which they found themselves. Throwing objects (stones, spears, balls, etc.) running to chase game and enemies, swimming to harvest fish, oysters, abalone, etc., adapting to living at high elevations, and more.

    Not mentioned was the adaptation to warm climates. Humans became most abundant in the warmer climates of the world. Many more people living in the 30degrees north to 30 degrees south equatorial belt than those living north/south of the 60 degrees of latitude belts.

    Every day the temperature somewhere on Earth exceeds 100 degrees F and is as cold as -60 degrees F. Humans live in those areas. Yet, the Climate Alarmists (Al Gireacle and Ketchup Kerry) claim that a 2 degree increase in average world temperatures will wipe out civilization.

    Humans are adaptable and our adaptational ability is improved when we have affordable, secure energy supplies. The everything that Gore and Kerry want to get rid of. It is to weep.

  7. Take a look at this story on Tucker Carlson about the Deep State/CIA getting rid of Nixon because he knew of their involvement in the assassination of JFK.

    Buy my bridge.

  8. You dont have to buy all of tuckers conclusions to see a distressing patterns in 1972, 2016 and most recently 2020

  9. The clintons the obamas are never held to account for their crimes their critics starr walpin are ridiculed held in contempt

  10. I taught Anatomy at a medical school for 36 years and still practicing primary care for over 40 years. The shoulder and the hand are true marvels of engineering. The playing of the piano,the clock repair person,the neurosurgeon, and the boxer all use the upper extremity with skill. What should not be overlooked is the amount of nervous tissue that connects the muscles to the spinal cord and then to the brain both as sensory(especially position) and motor. Yes humans are special. It is a shame that most of your articles ,Neo , relate to brain dysfunction as in arrogance , stupidity and greed.
