trumps signing an executive order pretty soon.... voter id mandates across all states and no mail-in ballots.... this will carry us through 2028 and that should be plenty of time to get any other bills passed....

Quote from: DKG on Today at 06:03:47 AMThere were historical documents from the Ottoman Empire outline plans for the deportation and extermination of Armenians. Eyewitness accounts from survivors and foreign diplomats detail mass killings and forced marches. Photographic evidence and reports from humanitarian organizations document the atrocities committed. Post war trials, such as the Ottoman Military Tribunal, convicted officials for their roles in the genocide.

Turkey still denies the Armenian genocide to this day. But, I believe there is enough evidence that a mass deportation and slaughter campaign took place. The only argument are the numbers. Much like the genocide that happened nearly three decades later.

doesn't much matter to me, chief.... i don't much care about things that did or didn't happen.... 13 very tightly knitted families control everything you see and hear.... they control every aspect of "public perception" as well.... they're only intention is the systematic destruction of straight white christians.... by any means available.... but if you wipe them out, you're no better than they are.... the only thing you can do is decide what you stand for and don't give an inch....

Quote from: Shen Li on February 13, 2026, 10:19:11 PMBut, Mom is selling the house and moving to Singapore this year. What to do with a 12 year old cat that is terrified of strangers.

 Oh no :/

 Im not even kidding when I say I would absolutely take kitty for you. Kitty would be completely spoiled and taken care of and id keep you updated.

 I have a feeling your mom is pretty far from Michigan though!

 I was always a nervous a wreck when I adopted out cats because there are very sick, cruel people out there. Its honestly kept me up at night. I charged adoption fees and had them sterilized myself and given shots. I was still worried about it 

 I get updates on most of them though, thankfully they are all happy in good homes.

The Grits are warning of illegitimate media in the aftermath of Tumbler Ridge. That of course means media that receives no tax dollars and is free to hold the Liberals' feet to the fire.

The Trump administration is urging other nations to press a tiny Pacific island country to withdraw a United Nations draft resolution supporting strong action to prevent climate change, including reparations for damage caused by any nation that fails to take action.

In guidance issued this week to all U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, the State Department said it "strongly objects" to the proposal being discussed by the U.N. General Assembly and that its adoption "could pose a major threat to U.S. industry."

"President Trump has delivered a very clear message: that the U.N. and many nations of the world have gone wildly off track, exaggerating climate change into the world's greatest threat," according to the cable sent Tuesday and obtained by The Associated Press.

The draft resolution is sponsored by Vanuatu.

Quote from: Reggie Essent on Today at 12:16:34 AMMy point was that the Nips were far more barbaric and bloodthirsty than the cultured and refined European Nazis. Just ask the Chinks, the Vietnamese, the Phlipos and all the Polynesian island people the Nips lorded over during their little Empire. The Germans were Pikers compared to them for cruelty and barbarity.  Just sayin'.

What is not widely known is that Korean conscriptees serving in the Imperial Army were some of the most bloodthirsty barbarians. They were seldom allowed to rise above junior officer, but Korean NCO's made senior Japanese officers blush.

I don't know about Taiwanese who were conscripted into the Japanese Imperial Army. Much like Koreans they were on the front lines and seldom rose higher than non comms.
