During a season of intense stress in history, Carwood Lipton, an elite World War II paratrooper from the Band of Brothers, provides a prime example of someone who held things together. On a wintery evening in Belgium’s Bois Jacques woods, Sergeant Carwood Lipton slipped through the twilight from foxhole to foxhole, encouraging the soldiers in his care.

Ok, I admit that my attempt to move from Apple to Google was a complete and utter failure.
Google:
Apple
I’ll continue to watch the field, but it’s no sense wasting anymore time.
I’ll still recomend chromebooks with the caveats about printing and “end of life”-ing.
Argh!
(My apologies for the bad advice!)

Image: Wikimedia Commons The Anthem Veterans , in Anthem, Arizona, consists of five white pillars representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Each pillar contains a slanted elliptical opening, and the five are arranged so that at 11:11 a.m. on Veterans Day, November 11, the sun’s light passes through all five and illuminates the Great Seal of the United States, which is inlaid among 750 red paving stones engraved with the names of veterans.

Neat. And make me sad for all the vets.
Let’s bring all the girls, boys, women, and men home now! We have so many politicians and bureaucrats to send in their place if it’s really needed!

Wednesday morning on ABC’s The View, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a factually misleading explanation for the thousands of people who died with Covid-19 in NY nursing homes.
Source: The Facts on Andrew Cuomo’s Nursing Home Policy – Just Facts Daily
*** begin quote ***
So in the face of proven scientific facts and crystal clear guidance from federal health agencies, Cuomo forced C-19 carriers into the vicinity of the people who are most vulnerable to the virus.
Cuomo and his surrogates then used a series of falsehoods to cast blame for his policy on others. Now, he is impugning people who would hold him accountable for his actions.
*** end quote ***
Can Cuomo be held accountable?
Not very likely!

Judicial Watch announced today that a September 2020 study revealed that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Seems like it would be unreasonable to presume that this was a “fair” election.

What happens when the people of a state are disfranchised?
When they come to know that their vote doesn’t matter?
Is it equitable that a geographically and proportionately tiny part of a state dictates to the rest of the state?
By what right does a Beltway bureaucrat autocratically govern the lives of farmers who live hundreds of miles away?
The Coonman is the governor of Northern Virginia. He is loathed in most of Virginia. But the people of the rest of the state cannot vote him out of their lives because their votes don’t matter.
Northern Virginia decides the politics of Virginia.Do we not adhere to the idea of the consent of the governed? How can there be consent when there is no choice?
This is not about red vs. blue. It is about right vs. wrong.It is time for a parting of the ways.

Same in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee, the populous cities — mostly in North Jersey — dictate to South Jersey.
And it’s notorious for corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.
Time for local secession!

In Nation, State, and Economy Mises talks about a “liberal nationalism” and explains what a confident nation requires:A nation that believes in itself and its future, a nation that means to stress the sure feeling that its members are bound to one another not merely by accident of birth but also by the common possession of a culture that is valuable above all to each of them.

A good question to ask.
And, like the USSR, all large states must devolve into the their “organic” parts that share a common value set.
Sigh!

In the lawsuit, which can be read here, both Stanley Bennett and Michael Hucker lay out the steps that they took in order to try to get a carry license, including having to provide multiple character references who were willing to be interviewed by local police.That provision alone should be enough to get New Jersey’s law tossed as unconstitutional, in my opinion, but the suit details further infringements on the right to bear arms stemming from the state’s “justifiable need” requirement.

There is no “Second Amendment” in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.
As well as a lot of other “rights” here.
Argh!
When will the “We, The Sheeple” revolt?
When they start loading the trains for the camps?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

At least Mailchimp, a US email and marketing automation service – doesn’t even try to pretend there is some objective, consensus-based way in determining what’s false and what’s true. Instead, they’re saying what many others in the tech industry are thinking and doing: “misinformation” is simply what we decide it is, because we can.

Abolish Daylight Saving time!? Can we do it? Yes, we can! Should we!? Well, 4 U.S. States already have! Those 4 States, and our U.S. territories, do not observe Daylight Saving time.
*** end quote ***
I still think this “savings time” is soooo dumb!

Official Web Site of the Republic of Lakotah. When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said… ‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’
