Domestic cats are good swimmers when they want to be.
Sure are – we once had a cat which loved to swim in flooding creeks and catch eels.
KG, Glad to see you back. I hope that you were only stress testing the system and didn’t cause Gecko too much grief. However, if the system was stress testing you let us know where we should meet with bricks for some amorphous silica continuity testing.
Thanks, Yokel. I can’t pretend everything’s ok, but we’ll just take it one day at a time.
I like the bricks idea…
Interesting stuff, Yokel. Thanks for that. What it demonstrates is that if the bastards in our own governments are out to get you, they will, having given themselves the weapons and the “authority” to use them in any expedient way.
Yup, and its knowing how much your own government hates you and can “get” you which makes many sensible Brits keep their heads down until a critical mass is reached. Some others are a bit younger and fitter and have the stamina to take the bastards on.
Any British “anti-extremism” legislation, or “equality” legislation now and in the future will be used against the Christians regardless of any purported intent to “tackle” extremist Islamists.
Yeah, ‘coz they’ll definitely be going after the radical Greens, the radical Socialists and the radical moslems. No way would they use it to target Christians and other patriots who refuse to get on board with their schemes. :eyeroll:
VA inspector general report-307,000 veterans have died waiting for care-
If ever there were a group of bureaucrats that needed rope burn it’s the lot at the VA
Bastards.
I’m amazed some pissed-off vet hasn’t dealt to a few of them already.
Note: VA is typical socialized medicine – and I’m 100% covered as retired veteran – and happily the only “care” I’ve received from VA is my free prescriptions. My heart attack in Orlando in 2007 and my recent accident in Seattle were taken care of by the excellent free market civilian hospitals – which gave me five star care – and SENT THE HIGHLY INFLATED BILLS TO VA, which did actually pay them to the penny
So VA care does work for the experienced trooper who knows his way around the government bureaucracy….
I have to say I’ve received outstanding care from the V.A. Invariably, they treat me like a king.
Some times I have to ride them for an apptmt.
Don’t know about that report. Just a kind word for they nice, competent people who’ve treated me.
The ritual humiliations keep a once-free people in their place, you see….
That’s why I don’t fly,I would most likely be in jail after dismantling some TSA arsehole.
You know being a Class III threat to the American presidency has its good points – when I travel by air, a nice young white Secret Service agent(s) meets and greets me before the TSA checkpoint and walks me thru the special law enforcement entrance to the Gates – and takes me right to the airplane.
When the plane lands at my destination, the nice
white young Secret Service agent(s) meet and greet me on the jetway as soon as I step off the aircraft and escort me out of the airport gates to directly to a heavily armored waiting black limo for a free trip to my hotel, or friend’s house.
Of course, the Boys In Black simply insist on handling my suitcase and laptop themselves
And who am I to stop their five star valet and limo service, I ask you?
From the article-“Healthy Masculinities Week” hopes to encourage men to “[e]xplore healthy masculinity through various lenses,” such as “American society, the gay and bisexual community, fraternities, and more.”
“The advertisement for “Healthy Masculinities Week,” which was emailed to members of the student body, includes a portrayal man with a thought bubble, thinking, “Don’t cry,” “Have sex,” “Major in business,” “Play sports,” and “Man up.” Allegedly, these are examples of unhealthy masculinity.”
WTF would a woman’s center know about healthy masculinity?
Maybe I’ll go to a mosque and ask the imam to advise me on the teachings of Christ.
Having read the article I would give these community organisers a single piece of advice.
“Ladies. Traditionally masculine men get laid and metrosexual wimps do not. Natural selection says “no”. Too bad. So sad.”
Some here know I do science for a living (not climate science!) so numbers are a big part of what I do. I would like it if anyone can explain to me how, with over 94 million working age adults no longer looking for work, the current administration thinks it can get away with saying unemployment is at only 5.1%? I know they don’t count the ‘no-longer-looking’ crowd but Why aren’t more people calling the government out on the false narrative?
I’ve never known any government to be honest about true unemployment figures, Michael.
The 94 million figure is interesting for another reason: The Chamber of Commerce, big businesses and politicians say that mass immigration is necessary because of a shortage of workers. That figure demonstrates their true agenda, which is to depress wages and conditions to the point where Western countries have a pool of serf labor.
I’ve never known any government to be honest about anything.
When some one does point out the phony stats they often use the excuse that automation is replacing humans which is partly true.However,just like the number of unemployed tell me again why we need all these immigrants?
The real unemployment rate is in the government stats – This is the U6 number – The U3 number, however, the propaganda number and always much lower, is the only one announced by the Lamestream Media that loves Socialism and Obama.
The real unemployment rate is 14% – nearly three times what is being reported.
Yeah, I was aware of the U3 and U6 difference. My question was
How the HELL do they get away with it!?
Never underestimate the ability or desire for Joe Average to be scammed by his own government. People are basically stupid.
“Basically”? People are stupid in creative, banal, novel, tedious and amazing ways.
I’m *desperately* hoping for a super-cold winter in the UK and Europe.
An ultra-cold winter would have some chance of killing off a few tens of thousands of Muslim scum freezing to death in the streets. I’ll bet these scumbags didn’t think of winter when they boarded their stinking boats.
The more who freeze in the streets, the fewer will need to be killed if and when the civil war starts over there.
At which point elderly pensioners will be tossed out in the cold to freeze to death and their homes given to the invaders with heating bills covered by the taxpayers of course.
Once upon a time that would have been raging paranoia.
Once upon a time….
Somebody tell me again why we have a “duty” to take them in?
…because the Western Ruling Classes need proles dependent on them as voters and storm troopers to control the streets.
This is dark but I think there’s something to the theory that globalist scum see the middle class as the group who will offer real resistance. So they must be eliminated by mass immigration.
Also, since the third world can’t be raised up, the West has to be brought down.
Yep, I think that’s exactly right.
Imagine redistributing them over all the EU countries and some are sent from Germany back to Greece, Italy or Spain.
ISIS: ‘We will use crisis to infiltrate West’…
Evidence of that invasion came in February when an ISIS operative confirmed what many already suspected – the Islamic State is using the refugee crisis to form a fifth column of Muslim fighters inside Western nations.
The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 trained ISIS gunmen have already been smuggled into Europe – hidden among innocent refugees, reported the Express, a British newspaper. http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/isis-smuggler-we-will-use-refugee-crisis-to-infiltrate-west/
So, when these 4,000 (at the time – likely many more by now) get the order to “Go” and it’s up to the citizens of the various EU “nations” (‘scuse the quaint notion), will they stop with the rabid moslem dogs, or will they carry on and excise the EU bureaucrats, pollies and assorted other miscreants (heads of QANGOs, etc) from the body politik? Cure the disease, not just the symptoms?
ISIS is a CIA and Mossad creation funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and supplied through Turkey.

This is a video of a stunt pilot who, in real life, is a Delta Airlines pilot. His act at air shows is to pretend that he is a drunken spectator who rushes from the stands and jumps into a Piper Cub and takes off without any understanding of how to fly a plane.
The Piper Cub is actually specifically built to withstand an enormous amount of stress and has a very powerful engine.
This type of stunt is actually the most dangerous of air show acts, because of the low altitude at which the pilot performs. Obviously, this pilot possesses unbelievable skill.
I once flew with a military pilot who showed me what an Alouette helicopter is capable of doing. I didn’t particularly like his demonstration of how to land after engine failure at a height by auto-rotating.
Auto-rotating is one of those things that sounds fine in theory and is a bit of a worry in practice….
The entire concept of helicopters is an affront to Newton, Nature and God Himself!
YESSS!!!!!!!!
And they don’t have a fastening in the rotor head called the “Jesus nut” for nothing….
