    Discovery under the pyramids of Giza

    Yeah, its wild to think that people were building Gobekli Tepi and those Yunnan artifacts and they are actually OLDER than the Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario) which were all still covered by ice glaciers 10,000 years ago.

    Discovery under the pyramids of Giza

    I'm fascinated by Gobekli Tepi, an ice age facility in Turkey that existed 10000-11500 years ago. Tools there have been carbon dated. It seems unlikely to me that a hunter-gatherer civilization could have built it. It was either global climate change with all those glaciers melting (which would corroborate the prevalence of flood stories in ancient myths from many civilizations around the globe) or a nearby culture that killed them off. Anyway,we WERE capable of building Gobekli Tepi during the ice age, then there was a 5000 year pause where humans didn't / couldn't construct anything like it again. The part of China I lived in, along the Sichuan / Yunan border, artifacts dating back to that time have also been found and the same pause of millenia passing without artifacts. Ice Age humans had advanced "stuff," then they died out, and the stuff they made wouldn't be replicated again for 5000 years. Anyway, living in a place where some of the very earliest artifacts of Ice Age stuff exists really has me tuned in to all that.

    Examples of fascism

    If only Biden's excesses weren't ten times worse than anything Trump did (see jonmx's post seven up from this one).

    Examples of fascism

    I'll help the OP out with an actual example of fascism: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/national-rifle-association-of-america-v-vullo/ Here the state of New York pressured banks and insurance to not do business with the National Rifle Administration and even all three stooges on the Supreme Court thought they went too far in a 9-0 ruling.

    Examples of fascism

    Yeah, I'm still waiting for examples of fascism. I'll put away my magnifying glass and take out my microscope to redouble my efforts.

    When do we get to the gas chambers and funny mustaches and snazzy uniforms?

    Examples of fascism

    Whenever I want to learn about growing watermelons, or repairing a heat pump, or holocaust victims, or what the 3rd R is in the LGBTQ+ alphabet lexicon means, I go to the Department of Defense website to find out more. So not having those topics covered there is tragic.

    The Democrat Party Dilemma

    He makes a lot of sense. Hopefully they don't listen to him.

    Discovery under the pyramids of Giza

    I want to see some confirmation from reliable sources that all these structures exist as this guys says they do. A link to the site he was reading this information from would help.

    Wordle scores

    Wordle 1,369 6/6 🟨🟩 🟨 🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My third guess was the worst word I ever brainfarted over. I put the two yellows (and the green) right back where I had already eliminated them.

    JFK was a turd burgular

    I doubt any of us are reading these files. Personally I'm just waiting a few days and reading summaries in the news, none of which talk about JFK as gay.
  13. Has she collecting welfare or any state benefits? Based on the sympathetic writer of the article, we can't tell. If she really is a positive contributor to her community as the writer alleges, she should be near the bottom of the list, among the lowest priority of those who needs to be deported.

    Who do you think are stronger on average?

    Who would you trust more to open a pickle jar, the average female Trump voter or the average Kamala voter that was assigned male at birth?

    Annexing Canada

    Canada isn't going to be the 51st state. We don't want it and they don't want it. Trump isn't happy that we subsidize them so much but by being such an ass about it, he is causing all sorts of unnecessary problems and souring relations.

    Annexing Canada

    There isn't one. Trump was just being flippant because Justin Trudeau annoys him. Unfortunately, the rhetoric p*sses off ordinary Canadians too, not just dumbfock Canandian politicians as seen by them now routinely booing the National Anthem at hockey games.

    Natalie Wood was raped by Kirk Douglas

    I use to also find stories of rape and murder were helpful lighten the mood... but that only ever occurred when phillybear wrote them. He had a unique talent. I worry that this Natalie Wood one just doesn't produce the effect you're going for.

    Federal Judge blocks Trump military ban on transgenders

    There's the tranny in women's spaces stuff, the drag queen with kids stuff, defund the police, sympathy for terrorists and illegal alien sex traffickers and drug smugglers, the flag kneeling, the Antifa riots, the race baiting, unsecure borders, the no ID voting, the Howard Zinn / 1619 rewriting of US history to focus on the bad and worst aspects of US history. Seeing Thomas Jefferson statues hit the ground was infuriating. This isn't an argument about tax and spend policy or energy vs climate change policy anymore. I don't rightly know how anybody with any sense of decency is a Democrat on 2025 and I don't want to live in a community that is governed by them.
  19. Iwo Jima was hell on earth and a lot of great Americans died there to secure the island. Half the men (three of six) raising the flag in that photo were dead withing the next few hours. Ira Hayes is a national hero not just for Native Americans but all Americans. The chance any MAGA person took his page down was essentially zero.

    Federal Judge blocks Trump military ban on transgenders

    I don't want any part of this Jew baiting. My disagreements with Tim are based around politics only and limited to that. Tim is a good person, more civil and tolerant of different views than I am, I respect him for that, and am glad he posts here.
  21. https://www.kjzz.org/fronteras-desk/2025-03-18/defense-department-says-online-content-about-ira-hayes-to-be-restored Hayes is being restored. The linked article says his page was taken down by a computer algorithm rather than a spiteful leftoid.

    Federal Judge blocks Trump military ban on transgenders

    Putting them in the female barracks is right out -completely- and yet what male want to have one for a roommate or share a pup tent with one? I guess if they were only available to be roommates with each other or get their own room. But then aren't they also undeployable if they're taking hormone therapy? So no hormone therapy. Maybe let them wear female uniforms but offer zero medical services for transitioning other than counselling. Maybe don't spread them out, condense them into just one company or battalion full of fellow trannies. Apparently, it's been found to be too much hassle to accommodate them and bend the service to their will.
  23. Three of those six never made it off of Iwo Jima. I knew the guy from Detroit (Schultz) survived but I didn't recall who the other two were... Hayes was another survivor.

    SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts Rebukes Trump

    It gives gutterboy and squistion a talking point to cling to.
  25. Well, Democrat or no, whoever did it will get fired. But this unacceptable lack of patriotism does exude "Democrat" stench.
