The graphic would be better with the Heads to the side and the students going through on the conveyor.
But the title. Right On!
TL;DR the rest. - 52Some real groaning puns, but I laughed at everyone one of them.
Happy Independence Day everyone! 🇺🇸 - 53When in the course of human events ...

- 56Posted by freedomforall 2 days, 18 hours ago to Wells Fargo, heavyweight champion of financial crime gets yet another chance to show it's reformed. Hah!When a big TBTF bank offers a $$ bonus for opening an account, one could respond by opening an account.
When the bonus is paid cash out and immediately close the account.
I favor whatever legally can be done to kill the TBTF banks without direct harm to honest people. - 57Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 18 hours ago to Ignorance: The Fertile Soil of Socialism"Remember, Marx is the one who invented the term "capitalism"." I always attributed this to the old saying, "Even a blind squirrel gets a nut now and then." I don't think he really understood what he was saying. He was just a drunken ne'er-do-well looking for free stuff. Frederich Engels was a self-loathing spoiled rich kid that could supply the free stuff. A marriage made in hell.

Hah!I would stay away from BofA, but a long time ago I opened a small account with them because they had branches in the cities I traveled to. The local bank (Credit Union) I've done business with for over 50 years doesn't have that reach. Likely, there are other solutions nowadays, but it is convenient when I need it.

- 62Posted by $ jbrenner 2 days, 20 hours ago to Wells Fargo, heavyweight champion of financial crime gets yet another chance to show it's reformed. Hah!In 2003, Wells Fargo bought the mortgages of several homes on my side of my street, but not the ones behind us that are at a very slightly lower elevation. Then they declared that we were in a flood zone. With our county FEMA coordinator, using the same flood service certification company that had originally said that we weren't in a flood zone, I proved that their basis for that conclusion was quite literally holding the flood zone map and a map with the homes on it up to a light and moving them up or down a little. The edge of the street had been the previous flood zone edge; now suddenly it was a few feet into my front yard. Shazam!
I paid off my mortgage immediately and never had to deal with Wells Fargo again! - 63Progressivism, like many terms the socialists/Communists use, is exactly the antonym of what it purports to be.

- 65Posted by Commander 3 days, 3 hours ago to Ignorance: The Fertile Soil of SocialismRemember, Marx is the one who invented the term "capitalism". Marx never thoroughly addressed free enterprise. And ..... to be fair .... I never embraced Rand using the term.
From Charles Tips; Quora.
"What do you call, a combination of both capitalist and socialist ideas?
The proper term you are looking for is “free enterprise,” which some people call by the mistaken Marxist term of “capitalism” he conjured up as the evil force his communism would prevail over.
Free enterprise (alone among economic systems) creates wealth but also distributes that wealth widely to those in need. That latter part is indeed socialism (though not the “state socialism” usually implied) and it arrives primarily in the form of 501(c) charitable giving, which amounts to half a trillion dollars a year in the US lately. There is also a great deal of political redistribution of government funds, though that is less socialism… more at “vote buying.” - 66Posted by Abaco 3 days, 5 hours ago to RFK Jr. Unloads Disturbing Vaccine Secrets on Tucker—And Surprises Everyone on TrumpTo be clear...I am listening to the interview right now. What RFK said was that "there are articles claiming that 50% of pediatricians' profits come from..." Still, not good. But, it muddies the waters. Now I understand why he's waiting until September to have the big press conference. It will take that long to utilize the global data, per this conversation. I still don't believe the powers that be will allow that press conference and related announcement to take place. No chance in hell, actually.

I wish I could + it a lot more! - 74Posted by mccannon01 3 days, 10 hours ago to Enjoy the Show Do You Notice a Pattern? JOE LANGE JUN 21, 2025Indeed, Dobrien. We supposedly have one ELECTED official in charge of the executive branch, not 600+ black robed UNelected officials usurping the power and trampling the Constitution for their political gain.
