IMHO, the states that are the most dysfunctional - CA, IL, OR, NY and others - are those where most of the people with 2 brain cells to rub together have gotten the fuck out of Dodge.
Those left that realize the mess they live in are too old or too poor to get out.
Somedays this is how I feel...
Martin Armstrong explains the "work around" - a China-Iran railway line that isn't even mentioned by anyone. I've heard about it and Armstrong adds in a nice historical perspective.

Speaking of shit we, as a country, should have avoided...
Just finishing Blackhawk Down again. I left Kenya for the last time as it was happening.
The command staff who didn't have "boots on the ground", especially Garrison and Harrell...
Haven't yet come to a point where I think this was a good or a bad thing.
No one really knows whether there was weapons-grade uranium available or not - I think it's instructive to remember the Gulf of Tonkin "incident" and "Iraq has WMDs". Both were purposeful, complete and utter bullshit...
Trump ran on "America First".
Sorry, bitches, even poking around the edge of other people's wars is none of our fucking business.

Perhaps this was part of the reason why it was done...

This is a pure guess, but could this shitbird have been trying to create a false flag incident.
Or he was a dupe that somehow got sucked into doing something stupid.
The "No Kings" flyers, conveniently left in his vehicle, are too pat.

Used to shoot bullseye at the Syracuse Pistol Club, both rimfire and centerfire.
One night we were starting the first stage of centerfire (indoor - winter) and when we all start firing, there's this incredibly loud muzzle blast near the other end of the line from me - sounded like a .44 magnum...

2) Does life insurance pay out on "assisted suicide"?
Always been of 2-minds on this - would I want the choice if I had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and the chance of remission was essentially "0"? Depending on where you look, it's a...
Unfortunately, there aren't many people of any stripe who have the resolve to do this, or any way to organize it. What did exist was shattered by the J6 bullshit and, frankly, that may have been the whole purpose of it.
There is no one to organize this - fUSA.Gov, especially DemonRats and...
Starmer, Macron and Merz are functionally delusional...for whatever insane reason they keep mouthing off how easy it would be to defeat Russia.
An object lesson for them...study the seige of Stalingrad and the Nazi's winter retreat, very closely...and then walk away from the Neo-Con bullshit...
