State Politics/Government / Re: Kristi Noem facing petition to remove her from office following dog-shooting story
« Last post by mountaineer on Today at 08:05:49 pm »
This entre story is so incredibly stupid that I haven't investigated the details, but didn't this happen before she was governor? If so, it's utterly irrelevant to her qualifications or fitness to complete her term.

Biden Launches Investigation of Columbia U for Discriminating Against… Hamas Supporters
According to the Department of Education, celebrating the mass murder of Jews and issuing a call for "full solidarity" with a terrorist organization is "speech activity".

Is anyone really surprised?

After weeks of bias intimidation by Hamas supporters aimed at Jewish students and faculty, including Khymani James, an encampment leader who had talked to Columbia University officials about killing Jews, the Biden administration’s Department of Education, with the inevitability of a rigged slot machine in Reno, is launching a “civil rights investigation” into the university for “extreme anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic harassment”.

The complaint comes from ‘Palestine Legal’, the same group providing advice to the encampment protesters.

It complains that “Columbia has reinforced the hostile anti-Palestinian environment, including by suspending Students for Justice in Palestine — a student organization that advocates for Palestinian human rights — for engaging in speech activity supporting Palestinian rights” ...

Nonsense.  Felons are NOT PERMITTED to possess firearms or to affiliate with folks engaged in criminal activity.

   Did some freeze dried mushrooms last year.  Had a 'mellow' trip until I started puking. @roamer_1   333cleo

I never had any stomach probs with shrooms, either fresh or dried.( not freeze dried). I had no problems from some shroom tea I had kept in a Bota bag for quite a while.

Elections 2024 / Re: RFK Jr. can’t get his abortion story straight

His stand on abortion, as of today:  Fully legal from conception to term. That is unacceptable.  He's also far left on most of his issues.  It can be argued he is even more leftist that Shortbus Joe.

IMHO those dying have a right to try any 'medication, substance or food'.  What is it going to hurt??? At the very least it gives them some sort of pleasure at the very end.  Live Life!



Absolutely @libertybele ! I took care of my Mom at the end and even some of the hospice nurses wanted me to limit certain things. Nothing illegal or immoral...like her iced tea that she drank all day and cigarettes. Needless to say, those things didn't happen. Had she wanted something illegal, heck I've got friends in low places so she'd have had it, lol.

Politics/Government / More than two dozen House Democrats blast Biden holding back Israel military aid, say it ‘emboldens’

 More than two dozen House Democrats blast Biden holding back Israel military aid, say it ‘emboldens’ Hamas terrorists
By Social Links for Josh Christenson
Published May 10, 2024, 11:58 a.m. ET

More than two dozen House Democrats led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer told national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Friday they were “deeply concerned” about President Biden’s decision to withhold military aid from Israel.

Gottheimer (D-NJ) and 25 of his fellow lawmakers wrote in a letter to Sullivan obtained by The Post that “withholding weapons shipments to Israel … only emboldens our mutual enemies, including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other Iranian-backed proxies.”

“Seven months after October 7, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the end of the Holocaust, Iranian-backed terrorist proxies continue to fire rockets and mortars into Israel and at Americans from all directions,” they wrote. “At the same time, antisemitism is spreading globally like wildfire.”

Biden, 81, announced Wednesday he would not supply arms to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war effort if his military forces moved forward with an invasion of Rafah, the last stronghold of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“I made clear that if they go into Rafah — they haven’t gotten into Rafah yet — if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday that the paused shipment included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs.
