Biden Is Just a ‘Front Man’ Who Carries Out Obama’s Wishes
Near the end of Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, he openly fantasized during an interview about an unconstitutional and illegal way of effectively remaining in office for a third term through “an an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines.”
Obama said, “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.”
Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard argues this exact scenario is playing out right before our eyes between Obama and his former vice president and now president, Joe Biden.
Just days before the Biden administration announced the creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board,” Obama called for increased oversight of misinformation across Big Tech media platforms while speaking at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center.
“Biden is just a front man,” Gabbard said. “Obama, April 21: social media censors ‘don’t go far enough,’ so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the ‘Ministry of Truth’ (aka Disinformation Governance Board).” Take a look:

The right to arm bears...
Every time a wacko gets a high-power weapon and kills a bunch of people blogs and news media gets saturated with talk about the 2nd amendment. You know, the one from 1791.
Surely they knew back then that common folk would need AK-47's to hunt for food, defend themselves against the British and keep from having savage Native American attacks.
My prediction: For or against, nothing will happen. Nothing will get fixed.
Obama won't take your guns away, the NRA won't fold and the government won't fund programs to identify people who are unstable and likely to need counseling... or more.
This last incident won't be forgotten, but it will fade like the others and people will go back to doing thinks like it was before.

Some things I’ve learnt along the way…(pt. 1)
Over the last 20-30 years or so, I’ve had some ‘eye-opening/mind-changing’ revelations about myself and my life.
Some of those revelations are about my relationship with myself, with my immediate family, with ‘ex’ friends and with an ‘ex’ husband – and are very personal. Others were revealed to me through observations, mistakes and other challenges that I experienced along the way.
One of the things I've learnt during my brief ‘sojourn’ on the island of St. Kitts (whilst married), was that even though most cultural practices within the Caribbean can be similar, there are also many differences (e.g speech/language use, foods, social activities, etc). This led me to constantly compare them with my own island’s, as being either better or worse, but, through the not-so-subtle hinting of a very wise older woman, I eventually realized that –
• “Different” doesn’t always mean worse (or better), so differences need to be accepted, just as they are. Be respectful.
Another thing I've learnt resulted from the Covid pandemic, and the ‘rush’ to be vaccinated. The mandate for citizens to be vaccinated had many of my work colleagues convinced that it was vital to their, and their family’s and students’ health, as well as their job security. One of them remarked to me that ‘she had prayed about it, and that she believed that God gave the Scientists the ability to create the vaccines, so they must be safe’. I told her that even if that was so, it didn’t mean that SHE should be vaccinated. She still got vaccinated and had several worrying side effects that caused her to be hospitalized (for a brief period), but I do believe that her body will never be free of Covid. So,
• Not because something was designed/made by a Scientist means that it works perfectly, is safe and you should use it. Be wise.

Why
I called it why, as to why I was practically bullied off of this site in the first place.
I wonder why some people on here have had such a problem with someone "different" like me. It's all part of life and people shouldn't judge without knowing the person.
It pains me seeing that a majority of views on someone considered "different" is negative.

Chief
San Francisco schools ban 'chief' from occupational titles after Native American concerns
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Unified School District will no longer use the word “chief” in job titles because of concerns from Native Americans.
District officials said they haven't decided what they will use instead of “chief.” The San Francisco Chronicle first reported the ban on Wednesday.
“While there are many opinions on the matter, our leadership team agreed that, given that Native American members of our community have expressed concerns over the use of the title, we are no longer going to use it,” the district statement said.
“With nearly 10,000 employees, SFUSD is one of the largest employers in San Francisco and in addition to site leaders, we need central leaders who serve all of our 119 schools,” it said.
Native American mascots: Maine remains only state to fully ban Native American mascots. Why haven't others followed?
How stupid they are in San Francisco.

GOOD GIRLS LOVE BAD GUYS
Let's face it, good girls love a bad guy. They hate do gooders and men who keep talking about peace and love. As long as men treat their woman right, they become even more attractive and desirable if they show a personality that is different from the normal predictable male of the species.
Do you agree girls? Too bad if you don't, cause I'm bad.

Collusion illusion delusion - What it means that Hillary Clinton did it
The Wall Street Journal ran a scathing editorial on May 20, called "Hillary Clinton Did It".
This editorial began: "The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 was a dirty trick for the ages -- and now we know it came from the top -- candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton." The editorial quickly explained: "That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court [in Washington, D.C.] , and while this news is hardly a surprise, it;s still bracing to find her fingertips on the political weapon." (Also not surprisingly, The May 20 print edition of The New York Times did not include a story on Mook's testimony.)
Mook's testimony was heard at the trial of attorney Michael Sussman, charged with lying to the FBI in calling to their attention a story that Donald J. Trump, by means of connections with Russia's Alfa Bank, was colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The lie at issue was not the false claim about a Trump-Alfa connection, but the charge that Sussman brought this matter to the FBI as a good citizen, and not as a representative of the Clinton campaign.
As the Journal editorial noted: "Prosecutors say was working for the Clinton campaign." The editorial pointed out, "Mr. Mook said Mrs. Clinton was asked about the plan [to call attention to the Trump-Alfa ties] and approved it. A story on the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations thus appeared in Slate, a left-leaning online publication."
After that, the Journal explained how the Clinton campaign used the self-generated news of the investigation and the initial Slate article that came of it, both of which they had planted, as the basis for making tweet after tweet to the press about the Slate report to churn up mass coverage about it in the press and convince the public that the investigation was about something serious.
The concluding paragraphs of the editorial are worth quoting in full:
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
The harm done to the United States by the perfidy of the Clintonistas cannot be overemphasized. That "three-year investigation to nowhere" represented the Clinton-Obama attempted takeover of the government. (Call it the COAT campaign.) With congressional Republicans unwilling to prevent the COAT campaign, the Trump administration was blocked from putting U.S.-Russia relations on a rational, mutually beneficial footing, to the point that, under the present Senate leadership, the specter of war with Russia is no longer an unthinkable thought. The COAT campaign succeeded in keeping the Ukraine pot boiling, with the water first heated by Obama's stirring up of anti-Russian feeling in Ukraine, leading to the Maidan revolution that ousted the legitimately elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.
A political opposition ready to lie about Donald J. Trump, supported by a media prepared to believe the worst about Mr. Trump has given us the current reality where the deep state is using NATO as an instrument to humiliate Russia, and Republican leaders in Congress are going along with the plans of the deep state to make the globe an unsafe place except for the globalist hegemony.
