What bastards!  Literally!

Good riddance?  Please note the correlation between stability of family and stability of society.

But here, communists decry the family unit, and of course drag out libelous epithets like “racist” and “sexist” and homophobia.  Undoubtedly these are the very same people who relish the hippie originated “free love” which leads to rampant sex, rampant bastardy, and thus of course no actual family.

It has done us so well to screw around with impunity.

Couldn't get through it. I have no time for fools.

And they are *FOOLS*.

All one need do is look through history - Anywhere you want - And you will see that all of civilization centers around the family.

The broken part is that it's not big enough.

Prior to modern times, extended family was all around you - Grandparents from both sides, aunts and uncles from both sides, cousins galore.

That is strength, under a single patriarch and matriarch, extended into kin... Massive capabilities at a local level.

Put it back.

Revenge Of The Swamp: DC RINOs Attempt to Sabotage President Trump’s Re-Election With Retirements, Insurrection Legislation – President Trump Must Work On Counter-Strategy Before It’s Too Late
by Paul Ingrassia Mar. 28, 2024 8:00 am

The Uniparty is quietly scheming (again) to rig the system and prevent President Trump from ever becoming President.  This scheme involves a two-part strategy: using a combination of strategically planned retirements of Republican House members, coupled with the passage of carefully tailored legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot on bogus Insurrection grounds that would likely pass muster with moderate justices on the Supreme Court, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who prefer to avoid deciding on “controversial” legal questions and risk being seen in a bad light by their liberal peers.

The fact that over a dozen House Republicans have recently announced their early retirement, or their intention to not seek re-election, should raise alarm bells for everyone, because these decisions are not by happenstance.  They are coordinated and serve the specific purpose to keep President Trump off the ballot.  As their attempts at lawfare appear to be falling apart one-by-one, from the debacle in Georgia involving Fani Willis’s rendezvous with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, to the kangaroo show trials in NYC, with petty judges and prosecutors such as Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, and Juan Merchan, being exposed for the radical, far-left operators they are – President Trump’s political enemies are getting increasingly desperate, and as a result of that desperation, are strategizing to now switch control of the House of Representatives before election day.  If they manage to pull off that feat, which is becoming increasingly likely with a diminishing House Republican majority, the product of intra-party squabbling and general incompetence of Republican leadership, and Democrats retake control, President Trump’s enemies will be able to more easily pass legislation that would disqualify him from the ballot.  This is because if the House flips to Democrat hands and Speaker Hakeem Jeffries takes the reins, he will be able to coordinate with Chuck Schumer in the Senate more easily, who already controls a majority in the upper chamber.  At least up until the November election, there will be no divided government: Democrats will have majorities in both congressional chambers, plus the White House.  Thus, the House, Senate, and White House can collude to pass legislation that would exclude President Trump from the ballot because, according to their absurd construction, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment allows them to do so.

This is why the early-announced retirements of House members like Mike Gallagher (WI) and Ken Buck (CO), and the forced ouster of former Congressman George Santos (NY), have received (rightful) criticism from the MAGA movement, including some of the most stridently pro-Trump congresspersons, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.  The Mike Gallagher case is particularly illustrative of RINO subversion – and MTG was no-holds-barred in her criticism of the move.  Gallagher, rather than step down immediately, announced that he would delay his retirement until April 19th.  Under Wisconsin law, special elections to fill seat vacancies can only occur up until the second Tuesday in April – after which point, the law requires the seat remain vacant through the November election.  Thus, if Gallagher postpones his retirement until the 19th, after the second Tuesday in April, there will be no special election: Republicans will simply have to accept losing another House seat.  Democrats will be one seat closer to reclaiming majority control.  Gallagher’s refusal to step down before the second Tuesday in April makes no sense whatsoever: it can only be explained as an act of deliberate sabotage.  MTG took notice.  On March 23rd, she posted that Gallagher “should be expelled if he refuses to leave immediately,” recognizing how his delay could ultimately cost Republicans the House majority.

Masa. Learn to make masa.

With that you can make your own tortillas - It's a pretty easy process if you have a bread maker that can handle the stiff dough... From there they can be pressed out (using a tortilla press) or rolled out and passed over a hot cast iron pan to cook - They actually 'cook' in seconds. With a little practice, and developed efficiencies, 12-24 fresh, so-mo-bedda tortillas await you in about 1/2 hour's time.

Those can be quartered and stacked, then the stacks halved, ad halved again, to form your own chips, which go through the fryer in no time at all.

WAY easier than bread.

Also Bannock or Indian fry bread. Internet recipes abound... But they are all pretty much the same.

Easy to wrap around a stick and cook over a fire, or flattened and thrown in a cast iron pan to fry.
Very versatile. Indian tacos or bushcraft pizza, or stuffed with cheese or folded over and filled with whatever ingredient..

Even for breakfast - fry up hash browns, fry up an egg, and fry up some flatbread - Lay the hash browns down on the flat bread, lay the eggs on top of the hashbrowns. throw on some picante sauce.


all of the above... Staple food, easy and delicious... and costs pennies
You won't believe how good fresh tortillas are. You'll wonder why you've been paying for the crap at the store.

For most of the 20th century, the word "family" in America evoked a predictable picture of cookie-cutter cleanliness: the happily married husband and wife, their 2.5 kids, and one improbably well-behaved golden retriever, all under the same roof. But the nuclear family has steadily eroded over the last 50 years.


The first major death knell came with the 1973 oil crisis and the two-year recession that followed, which signaled the end of the West's postwar prosperity boom. Since then, the nuclear family has crumbled piece by piece. In 1970, more than two-thirds of American adults between 25 and 49 lived with a spouse and at least one kid. By 2021, only 37% of adults fit the bill, Pew Research found.

Although it may be premature to declare the nuclear family officially over, the model is beginning to look more like a fringe lifestyle choice than the bedrock of American society.

Presimably, the light tanks would have access to support from heavy Abrams if tank-tank duels were anticipated.  The light tanks are much easier to transport and might be better/cheaper when not facing heavy armor.
There is a Temporal disconnect in your answer. There were no Abrams Tanks in WWII.
