Political parties who seek sovereign interests and possibly form a closer alliance with its neighboring country would be divine punishment? Hmmm...peculiar.

But that was attractive like a chick with fake tits and botox treatments with loose morals. After a while, a short while, it becomes grotesque and gives you the clap.

Maybe I'm just a know-nothing dense prattler, but Russia seems to be a perpetual sojourner. Looking to either find its real identity, hence its romanticism, to fulfill its grandiosity.

Is it fair to consider Russia as a land of great potential unmet?

There's something both intoxicatingly interesting and recoiling about Russia.

I just finished reading Dostoyevsky's White Night. I wonder if that story is Russia in a nutshell. A loner who has a capacity and deep desire to love, but has been shunned. A broken-hearted lover.

If the two of you met in person, I think it would go like this:

You'd both start with glaring stares of snarled and disgusted countenances.

Novi would start:

N- Fvcking Polish maggot.
T- wh0re of a wh0re.
N-A$$-licking pig.
T- Treasonous bastard ape.
N-Fvck off!
T-Cvnt
N-Hogwart
T-What?
N-is a woman.

{Pregant silent pause}

The snarls slip into broad grins. Both hug and nearly kiss like Brezhnev and Gierek, but refrain.

Then both commence to merrily sharing table, choking down pierogi and barszcz and clink vodka glasses.

Torqi gifts Novi a beautiful rosary made from the finest bursztyn and gold. Novi hands Torqi a title to a '57 Chevy. Best friends forever.

As far back as the Didache (1st or 2nd century AD) we have written verification of the Church's consistent condemnation of procuring abortion and honoring the sacredness of the life growing in a mother's womb.

So your claim is peculiar-maybe even specious.

Absolutely! Hegseth has taken over a DoD that was lost in a wilderness of PC and wokeism. A military that had a serious recruitment problem. A DoD not in line with its mission as a war-fighting department. He is doing a fantastic job of re-orienting that department back to its mission of preparedness and lethality. As a result, people are signing up again to join the ranks.

Central casting may be the problem. Give me results over optics. Give me a masculine head of defense over a pencil necked faculty lounge lizard all day, everyday.


What the hell does that even mean?


Most are excellent (Bessent, Rubio, Duffy) to good (Nowm, Burgum). The fact that a New Dealer liberal like you dislikes them, the more confidence I have in them.

The middle class has shrunk 11% since 1975ish. According to your statement, one would think all of that the lower class increased 11%. But, there has been nearly a 7% increase of the upper class.


Hahaha...the wealth belonged to the church-I'll assume you mean the Catholic Church? When you look at Church assets, most is in real estate. The reason that is is because churches and church owned schools are real estate. That real estate, although technically controlled by the bishop, is, in essence, managed and used by its parishioners. Having extensive experience serving on Parish Councils overseeing finances, I can assure you most church clergy and employees aren't walking around with thick bankrolls in their pockets.

Crony Capitalism? Do you mean things like Obamacare, banks Too Big To Fail, the FDR-era subsidies?

Wouldn't be the platform (the ISP or something of that sort) that would get the warning, not PF? In other words the ISP would just block PF so as not to deal with the headache of the government regulators?


Absolutely! This kind of stuff gives me the shivers. It's tyranny thinly disguised as responsible guardians of the good. Of course, it's the tyrants defining what is good.

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [99]


I've been in Poland for a week and the traffic is markedly heavier. However, it seems Poles are driving with more caution nowadays. Yesterday I drove about 200 km round trip and I saw many cars keeping adequate space. First time I've driven a long distance in Poland and not thought I was going to end up in a ditch or a wreck.

Yes, I've said this at the outset. Too early to tell. Although more likely than not damage was done. Those were 30k ton bombs. The aftershock of those alone could create significant damage to fragile equipment. But, I agree with you. Let's wait.


Very true.

PF has become a little too intoxicating. Until next time, y'all take care.

I find it a novel and peculiar claim. How a ragtag group of people mostly from Russia converge onto a plot of land without the backing of a sovereign power can be colonists.

That is not mentioning the smallish, yet still robust, population of Jews who inhabited that area for centuries.

This I concede. But, then again, the American evangelical is simplifying the complex; but, they so such in a more fanatical way by wrapping it ip in simplified biblical exegesis. But, then again, it is oversimplifying the American evangelical into a single monolithic package. They differ from each other, may jot as much as they differ in biblical interpretation, but they differ.

Or are you trying to make something more simple that is pretty tortuous and complex? Both fair questions/thoughts.

Area A is not ran like Area B, which aren't ran like Area C. Why?

Yes, if, indeed, there ever was such a thing called the Sovereign State of Palestine, then it's more simple. If all 2 million non-Jewish citizens living in Israel were denied opportunities and services, yes, more simple. But...that's not how it is, so it ain't so simple.

Novi, sometimes, maybe even most of the time, I think you spend too much time in the instinctual animal kingdom.🙂
