These days, looking for “free” software is an utter nightmare.  As most of you know from experience, most “free” software nowadays is basically non-functional trial software whose main job is to trick you and then make you buy the full version after you install a bunch of adware.Imagine my surprise at finding an amazing piece of real freeware: Unstoppable Copier.

By Dr. Mercola If you’re still holding out hope that science will eventually prove artificial sweeteners to be beneficial, or at the very least harmless, you’re likely to be disappointed. Again and again, research shows no-calorie sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose cause the same problems as excess sugar, and then some.

Sometimes, real life is beyond parody.I was scrolling through Twitter today when my eyes alighted on a post that read: ‘Oscar-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski says the #MeToo movement that sheds light on sexual misconduct of powerful men in Hollywood is ‘mass hysteria’ and ‘total hypocrisy’.Sorry, WHAT?For a moment, I thought this had been tweeted by a satirical site like The Onion.Then I saw it had actually been put out by highly respected news wire service, the Associated Press.

But the crazier and more irrational it is, the more the state thrives on it — because the more coercion, propaganda, and state-sponsored groupthink it will take to engineer people’s agreement.Incidentally, this is why the state loves “equality” — a concept so compendiously broad that its definition can be endlessly expanded. The state grows ever more powerful and intrusive in pursuit of equality’s ceaseless demands.Equality can never be attained, for the very moment after we achieve it, when someone first voluntarily transacts with someone else, resources will have been shifted around and “equality” will already have been disturbed.That’s why the state loves it.And that’s why the state loves LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP. The more letters, the more bizarre to bourgeois sensibilities, the better. That means that in order to impose it, the state will get to flex — and bulk up — its muscles.

The Gooferment, and its monopolies, is the problem.  “They” are not here to help.  Just attempting to control and manipulate “We, The Sheeple” to maintain their power positions that feather their nests at everyone else’s expense.

Argh!

The department she inherited is a good example of that. K-12 schools are controlled and funded locally, but taxpayers are forced to ship education money to Washington, D.C., where bureaucrats there grab some, and then ship the rest back – with strings attached.

Connecticut just became the tenth blue state to pledge to cast its electoral votes for whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote nationally.

Why?

Because according to the measure’s proponents, the electoral college — along with everything else that’s more than 10 minutes old — is backward and stupid.

Why we shouldn’t subvert the Dead Old White Guys’ “Electoral College”!

Take a look at the post Dead Old White Guys’ First Ten and see how they screwed up the country. Some are confused and confusing (i.e., the 14th) — subject to misinterpretation; at least one was stupidly wrong (i.e., the 18th) — lead to organized crime that even the 21st couldn’t fix; and the biggest disaster (i.e., the 17th) — direct election of Senators — that deprived the States from preventing the Federal Gooferment from unfunded mandates and “buying” States cooperation with “Other People’s Money”.

Now we complain about “too much money in politics”, just repeal the 17th! Put the State Legislators back on the hot seat. Argh!

Surgeons at a London hospital which President Trump compared to a “war zone” admitted he was right about knife crime in the British capital, but argued that guns were “no solution” to the problem, and that gunshot wounds were more difficult to repair than knife wounds.The doctors appeared not to understand that President Trump was not advocating for criminals using knives to be given guns instead, but for law-abiding citizens to be allowed to own arms for self-defence.

But, doesn’t England have strict “gun control” laws?  How could this happen?

Sadly, people have to die to convince politicians and bureaucrats that evil people don’t follow “laws”.

Only things, like “the LAW of gravity” should be called “laws”; what politicians and bureaucrats pronounce should be called “diktats”.

Argh!

Bully a plant, a live experiment with two IKEA plants and with thousands of children, to help to raise awareness around Anti-Bullying Day on 4th May in the Middle East.The live experiment involved IKEA taking two of its very own plants and installing them at the school, where one plant was fed compliments and words of encouragement, while the other was verbally bullied with hateful words. The students were encouraged to record their own voices to share their love with the first plant and give words of criticism to the second, either first hand or via social media interaction.

ALL politicians, bureaucrats, and those in Big Media “lie”. What’s so spectacular about DJT45 is casual way with “the Truth”. I remember when Rush Limbaugh suggested a TV frame saying “He’s lying”. Sigh. As such, maybe DJT45 is training us NOT to believe anything we hear. “I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notarized.” … attributed to Judge Marilyn Milian, but may have an earlier history.

I don’t like the Gooferment making “campaign finance rules”.  Money contributions is “speech” as in “free speech” imho.  That being said, this needs to be “investigated”.  I’d say “innocent mistake” except for the “variations on her name” part.  Where were her lawyers and accountants?
