    I’m amazed that leftists want to replay the horrific failures of socialism over and over. You never hear, “Fascism didn’t fail! That wasn’t real fascism! We can get it right this time. We just need the right leader.”

      Hi Solver ,
      Like you I make the same mistake , we both are wrong thinking the left's base thinks.
      The sheeple ,They have no idea of the Hell holes built on collectivism. From Venezuela to South Africa . The devious Democratic leadership do understand .They are the party of crime , of Authoritarianism ,of intolerance, of destruction and corruption. Destroy the individual for the greater bad.

        It all stems from Narcissism...they think they are better than the rest of us and also think We can't govern ourselves, but the truth is... they can't govern themselves...without us...they would starve.

        That is why they down play the strongest and concentrate on survival of the weakest because that is who they are.

        Sorass is a one trick pony, whom only got to where he is because he lied, cheated and destroyed with no conscience.

    "As Judicial Watch previously reported in an April 4, 2018, press release, Ambassador Lu has been closely associated with Soros and the socialist government in Albania, which he assisted by denying U.S. visas to conservative jurists from the conservative party in Albania. Lu has since been nominated by the Trump administration to become US Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan." Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    Of course.

    If one searches for Obama/Soros correspondence on the net, a whole bunch of cozy photos come up with Obama happily embracing this old villain.

    It is not only in Albania: Soros is active in the EU with hundreds of agencies working for him and his "Open Society" across the continent. He has been a regular to Brussels' governing elite, offering his "solution" to the migrant crisis.

    Several European countries banned his activities, such as Hungary and Poland.

    He is nothing more than a greedy speculator who knows how to make money from chaos.

    "flushing money down the toilet."
    That's what corrupt central government does and always has and always will.

      More like flushing a lit cherry bomb (or an M80) down the toilet. (Me dino using fireworks here to symbolize our tax revenue {if not paper printed to increase the national debt} funding evil).
      As a kid me dino loved to blow up fire ant hills in south Alabama and make geysers fly high at a lake in the Florida Panhandle, but I'm not the brat who wrecked the plumbing in the boys room of Girard Elementary in Dothan, Alabama during the 50s.
      What a me$$! Water was all over the floor.
      Stuff like that is why cherry bombs and M80s became outlawed.

        That Lake in the panhandle of Florida will be getting hit with 70-80 mile an hour winds in about an hour.
        At Lake Comfort in East central Minnesota , Gramma's cabin all the Aunts and uncles and cousins would celebrate the Fourth of July (Grandpas birthday). Five girls were in the row boat , as they approached the dock cousin John Threw a lit M-80 in front of the aluminum boat its fuse fizzled as the boat glided over it. Soon a blast and water like a geyser started to flood the boat.
        All hell broke out and John was in big trouble.
        Some black tar like substance was applied to the hole in the boat. The hole was repaired and that black tar was a scar reminding us of how powerful that so called 1/4 stick of dynamite was.

          From an inheritance left by my Dad, two of my brothers took ownership of a cottage by Compass Lake while two other brothers and I forfeited ownership with a cash payoff.
          That house faces Panama City on high ground with a two-story wall that's mostly window glass. There are some big trees there too.
          Hope your parents or their house being farther back in the boonies are okay. (Me dino switched from Miller Light to Yuengling Light due to drinking a regular Yuengling at their house).
          With cherry bombs and M80s, I used to blow discarded buckets and coffee cans high into the air and I'm not surprised about a hole being blown through the bottom of a boat. To think I could actually buy such potent explosives when I was half-grown. I could even peddle my bike up to a cigarette machine set outside a gas station, drop in 35 cents and get dizzy off "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should" as the jingle was sang in TV commercials.
          When I was a teenager, a guy I knew got in trouble with his dad's car. A friend riding shotgun forgot to roll down a front door window before trying to toss a lit cherry bomb outside. It bounced back into the backseat and blew a big hole in it.
          Cigarettes with filters broken off could be used as a time fuse for a cherry bomb or an M80. One such cigarette time bomb was used to scare a next incoming class in a study hall at Dothan High School when me dino was in the Tenth Grade.
          Me dino happens to know that a Winston could at least back then be depended on for a steady burn while a Marlboro would sometimes burn out before burning down to the inserted cherry bomb fuse.

            The power is out and a neighbor will be checking on them when the wind slows down a bit.
            When you say hi to your shotgun riding acquaintance or the driver do they say "huh what's that ? Speak up." They are probably Dumbocraps. Roll down the window so you can throw out the lit Cherrybomb

              Not surprised the power is out from hurricane news I've heard.
              Had a cousin (he's dead) tell me of his older oddball brother (who I still have) getting as a driver all in a hurry at a Connecticut tolling booth (with one of those coin catching basket thingies), snatching up a handful of change and hurling it all against a car door window he forgot to open.
              The teller of that hilarious tale became an alcoholic, lost his pretty wife, drifted from the northeast to the warmer climes of the Deep South and was a homeless person found dead in New Orleans.
              Until I heard that news, I had no idea he was even in the South.

                RIP. Sounds like he caught a case of cognative dissonance in liberal Conn. No offense OUCarl.
                Alcohol seems to go hand in hand with a scrambled brain.

                  When he and his wife and other family were visiting my family in Dothan during the late 60s, one morning
                  I overheard him complain to his wife about wanting a beer.
                  He really for really real badly wanted--no, needed-- a beer before lunch.
                  I'm a bit of a lush but I never ever cared for a beer or anything else with alcohol before lunch.
                  That was my first hint that he had a drinking problem.

                    It looks like my brother and I will be driving down to the lake that gives directions. We have heard the area was very hard hit . Mom and Dad are fine and have a generator with plenty of fuel.They spent several hours in a bathroom. While the wind roared .
                    As far as drinks.
                    I am no saint . I have had a Bloody Mary in the morning before a few golf tournaments with my partners. Now I can take it or leave it. I can count the # of drinks I have had on one hand in the last year. My BW's parents had drinking issues and did not give her a very good childhood. My kids were beneficiaries of her determination to prioritize them. Her last drink was champagne on our wedding night July 1979 at age 21. Now she looks better at 60 than most women at 40 .She was an aerobic instructor in the early 80's Switching to Cardiokids , a children's fitness business she created and that she ran for 30 years. She is one of a few grandmas that still plays leap frog with the grandkids.
                    She is like a very low mileage classic original sports car.
                    I am bragging a bit but anyone whose has met her would agree. Me on the other hand would be known as a good runner a bit of rust in the fenders
                    Some worn out upholstery but reliable.

                      I am no saint and I think that's the reason I'm a fat type 2 diabetic who limps around.
                      The lake that gives directions used to be perfectly round like the Round Lake by 231 you see five minutes before reaching Compass Lake. A small dam flooded an area I've heard some call "The Flats" due to it being shallow (ten feet deep or so).
                      https://www.google.com/search?q=compa.....
                      As a kid, I used to hunt fish there with a snorkel and a speargun, My deceased dad was the first person to have a cottage built on that strip of land between the main lake and "The Flats." It faces the main lake and I'll be calling brother Joe to fine out how hard it got hit. The narrow road off 231 is probably blocked right now.

                        Let me know what your brother reports. The brief reports indicate lots of trees over power lines and roads cell phone towers also hit. My brother and I are waiting to hear when travel to that area is feasible .Thanks for the image , from the aerial view the flats look like a head with a long stocking
                        cap. Original compass is a very circular shape makes me think it was maybe a giant sink hole or a very old crater.
                        I am quite interested in your stories of spear fishing. The lake water appeared to me to be very clear.

                          There are a lot of bodies of water around Round Lake and Compass Lake. Some of the lakes and ponds disappear when you click "satellite" on this Google Map. That's because those are swamps choked with bald cypress trees. .
                          https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rou...
                          Think I'll call Joe tomorrow, giving him time to maybe gain some information. Shortly I'll be picking up my son Daniel at the airport for returning from Seattle. That place is like another world to him.
                          There's not really much to tell about my speargun fishing. I was about 14 when very surprised to receive a speargun for a Christmas present. That's because my parents were against any kind of guns. They'd be spinning in their graves if they knew I had a revolver, three pistols, a shotgun and a 9mm carbine, that grandson Daniel has a pistol and an AR-15 and that we both conceal carry.
                          (Daniel just called to say he will land an hour later due to flight scheduling chain-reactions thanks to Hurricane Michael).
                          I was not surprised the speargun was small and had three dinky prongs on the end. Guess my parents saw a friend at the lake keep coming by with a speargun and I'd swim off with him with my own eyes and nose mask, snorkel and flippers and watch him hunt. My friend had a. serious bass-impaling speargun that was a serious weapon you could use against a gator or a shark attack.
                          My gun shot a smaller trident more suitable for gigging bream. In a way that was fine. I preferred the way my mother fried tastier bream
                          anyway. You could always tell which fired bream I shot instead of caught due to there being holes in the meat. My friend never shot at a bream. Fried, it would have looked like a doughnut.
                          One day while spearfishing alone among that big grove of bald cypress in The Flats, I happened upon the backside of a bass as long as my forearm and hand. It hovered in the water with a slowly swishing tail, waiting to ambush something smaller swimming by.
                          I eased up behind it, aimed my speargun slightly downward about two inches from the back of its head/ base of its neck and fired.
                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYibb...
                          My spear bounced off. The big bass swam http://away.in a hurry. I did not see so much as a drop of blood or a dislodged scale floating in the water.
                          Sigh.
                          That was about the time three guys I went to school with came by the lake house, all having 22 rifles during spring holidays. It was enough to give a young dino an inferiority complex. At least another friend had an extra shotgun when I was invited to his father's farm for a dove shoot.
                          Now in my old age I could probably out-shoot all of them for not only being a Marine but a state corrections officer, who annually NRA qualified 21 times with a rifle, a shotgun and a revolver. Had to do the same thing semi-retired with a handgun for three different security companies
                          I am he who lived to laugh last as I now limp around the house in my triumph. .

                              Brother Joe has an apartment in Hoover on the other side of Birmingham.
                              Let me know how your parents are doing when you find out. They're the ones who had to ride out the hurricane.
                              Like me dino did with a tornado! I recall you mentioning cell phone towers knocked out in Florida.
                              Downed cell phone towers were why I couldn't use my cell to tell brother Joe I was all right.
                              I was able to call an hour after the F5 hit due to my neighbor next door having a land line.
                              In fact, that land line was indeed a land line after I watched all the telephone poles outside do a surreal shimmy and shaking tornado dance.
                              Almost as unbelievable was the call getting through.
