Thank you Dino!!

Thank you, Monsignor Dino. I had been wondering where he was. Glad that you found out…nice to know that he is fine.
We are a close knit family and one that I am pleased to belong to. Thank you, Dino, for looking out for us.

NV huh.... have friends that come to CO in the summer to get away from the "heat" and visit with their children's families. Learned really fast when President Trump took office to never talk politics with the wife especially. She offers her left nonsense real fast from watching CNN no doubt.

Thanks. Glad to do it.

Ayn rocks!

good to hear, was wondering why so quiet

The exodus from Commifornia was made possible financially by the insanely high real estate prices there. I suspect it's also been mostly people who have talents that are valued everywhere and the lower cost of living in the destinations make them acceptable and desirable enough. Just imo..

Act of War. The well organized insurrection in Minneapolis is one of many coordinated efforts to take our government down. Aided by elected officials, cities are now battlefields. You don't call it treason, you are technically right. However, call it by what you choose, the money and philosophy behind it is tearing us apart, ripping the fabric of our nation apart, and it must be stopped. How would you categorize it, and by what law/laws would you put an end to it?

I agree, but since all those blue enclaves believe in gun control, they'll have to build an army to conquer. Red states already have an Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard. Any other incursions just make great target practice for the rest of us. Callous? No. Survival, yes. Will we shoot a fellow human being? It's a question I ask myself each day. The answer is always the same. If my life, my family are in danger, yes.

It's looking like that in many ways.

I believe force will be inevitable as the commie areas run out of wealth of all kinds (mainly food and energy) and to stay in power they will need to take it from anyone who has it.

+1 that!

I think it would be a matter of time (but not very long) until many blue areas would run out of wealth and/or resources and would try to take it from red areas by decry, then force.

They cheat. It's in their DNA.

California is a state where people reside "where they intensely disagree with the government..." Red Bluff and Redding come to mind. These spots in California are really isolated enclaves because in MANY of the other regions the more conservative minded have left in droves. The impact of the California (alone) exodus on the rest of the nation has been massive. Look at your real estate prices in other states. I don't think all of that is inflation. Regarding California - look up the story on the State of Jefferson.

Glad to hear he's ok. I was wondering about that!

Do believe you hit that full metal jacket's blasting cap.

Very recently me dino heard Trump tell us that he is supported by "the silent majority."
Do believe he referred to a majority that stays pretty much silent~~EXCEPT WHEN WE VOTE!
All WE have to do is to keep the loud-mouthed Jackass Party minority from cheating.
We all know they managed to pull that off before.
Never forget that Infamous January 6.

You are most welcome. I'm glad I recalled having that contact information and got to talk to DOB.

Thank you for following up, dino. 👍
I'm glad to hear DOB is well. ;^)

In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless... Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.”
Ayn Rand

You lucked out, we on the other hand got 12" on the Connecticut shore line abet sorry to say it wasn't enough to bury bloomy and murphy (from the list above)
I'm so embarrassed by those two

You can spin the definition of "treason" however you like--and you're far from alone in yours--but I'll stick to how the Constitution defines it in Article 3.

Perhaps even to die.

I respectfully disagree. It isn't a shooting war, but a war all the same. Philosophical war, undeclared to the public, but raging in private, is pitting us against each other with one side crying "freedom" as they destroy everything while the other side whispers "rationality" while playing by established rules. "Traitor" does not need a declared war to be properly used. Lawmakers who preach anarchy, break laws, take under the table payments, cheat and steal from the very constituents who elected them are beyond criminality, stepping off that slippery slope into treason. Those who tear down the rule of law and supply fuel to the fire of insurrection are indeed traitors to their country..
