Opinionated Blogs (1,909)

Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell and they look forward to the journey. The world needs more of it.

Who would you consider a one trick pony as far as blogging goes on here? I have seen a few of them.

During the short period of time that I have been a member of cs, the blogs have never been at such a low point.
Mainly faceless wankers blurting out all sorts of insanities and the worst part is that it's one or two that have many different profiles that are giving this site a bad name.
I have always promoted CS and my reward was meeting a number of excellent well mannered ladies and gents. What is the goal of these wankers I ask myself cos making friends isn't one of them.
If you don't like what you read here by all means keep going.
Have a great weekend.

I was asked this question by an American on Sunday at a beach bar.

I replied, "have you ever needed penicillin? If so, thank Britain."

Who invented the internet, trains, computers, radar, navigational instruments, threshing machines, the wireless radio, tarmac, television, cash machines, batteries and jet engines? All from Britain!


Without Britain, many "First World" countries would still need to live in mud huts and eat roaches off a stick.

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.

Just after we were wed, my husband informed me that I was no longer an “Independent” woman. That thought actually made me feel sad, and even brought tears to my eyes. However, I was already married and resolved to make it work. After all, why should being inter-dependant be a bad thing? I tried, but it was difficult to let go of my independent nature; I was so accustomed to making my own decisions that I still did so frequently and automatically. And he was displeased. Then I became co-dependant which was unhealthy; I became ‘clingy’, and that only made things worse (for us both).
When our marriage ended and I had regained control over myself and the few things that I still owned, I felt that I had become alive again. It was as though I had been holding in my breath before, but could now breathe out. It had nothing to do with finances because I had none, had no full-time work and was completing the final year of my second Bachelors degree. That marriage experience has caused me to have a ‘fear’ of what marrying a second time may do to me in my fierce need to remain independent.

*Letting go of one’s Independence to become co/interdependent, can be difficult for someone who’s very attached to it.

I’m not a perfectionist, but I don’t like myself when I make foolish mistakes or wrong assumptions/presumptions. I expect better of myself, yet don’t always do better. Then I feel very disappointed and, based upon the nature of my error/faux pas, would ‘stew’ over it for days, months and even years. Introspection helps me work through a lot, but Over-thinking seems to be my ‘kryptonite’. I’ve looked back on my life and feel sure that I “dropped the ball” too many times.
However, realizing that there is no profit in ’beating-up’ myself about such things slowly came to me, and I’m working on changing that…daily. I often have to engage in “self-speak” and remind myself that what’s done is done; fix what I can and move on. Take better care of ‘me’, and don’t punish myself unnecessarily. I am what I am…’imperfect’.

*I have to accept myself, and learn to love me (flaws and all).

It's amazing how many experts of The United States of America there are that don't even live anywhere near America. They seem to know the intricate workings of our government from halfway around the world, when in fact all they do is bloviate their brainwashed opinions and offer no solutions. They are so used to living in their own socialistic surroundings that they have become immune from reason. Without living here in America they have no idea what they are talking about, only what their socialistic media outlets feed them.

My advice to those who practice this type of thing is 'Don't knock it until you've tried it.'

Chris Matthews, Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, Alison Camerota, Alex Baldwin, Madonna, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Jake Tapper, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Lynn Cheney, Joy Reid, and so many others are obsessed with their hatred of Donald Trump. The Donald is living rent free in their heads. It's amazing that with inflation so high along with gasoline food and any other items that have to be transported that they would still be so fixated on Donald Trump. Their President is fumbling, bumbling and crumpling the economy while continuing to spew their vitriol on Donald. Other than ruin the economy, slow down learning in schools, make friends with Iran and others that hate us, what have you done to make America a better place to live and prosper?

Donald Trump lives rent free in all of your heads.

The FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago reveals the deep-state cabal and their corrupt media partners deployed no fewer than 10 of the same tradecrafts used to push the Russia-collusion hoax. And with that, history is repeating itself with the same corrupt plot.

1. A Shocking Storyline of Trump Putting America at Risk
With the Russia-collusion hoax, Democrats and a complicit media cartel warned the country that Trump’s relationship with Russia presented a clear and present danger to America. While the reporting oscillated from Trump being too pally with Vladimir Putin to Putin having leverage over Trump, to Trump being a Russian agent, the narrative underlying the hoax was one that, if true, presented the public with a serious national security concern.

Similarly, the hoax surrounding the search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home rests on claimed misconduct which, if true, raises concerns of a dire national security crisis. Like having a Russian stooge or agent in the White House, Trump keeping supposedly top-secret documents unsecured in his Florida home suggests a serious threat to our national security.

In both cases, the seriousness of the supposed threat to America’s national security seeks to justify the government’s extreme measures to target Trump.

2. The Building of a Narrative
To support the idea that Trump’s supposed misconduct created a serious risk to America, both the Biden administration and the press quickly converged on the “classified materials” narrative. But none of the crimes on which the Mar-a-Lago search warrant was premised involved crimes related to the illegal possession or storage of “classified materials.” Nonetheless, the media coverage immediately framed the raid as based on the presence of “classified” and even “top secret” materials. Supposed government sources even went so far as to claim the material kept at Trump’s home related to nuclear secrets.

Coverage of the raid sought to further cement this narrative in the public’s consciousness by quoting past public officials bemoaning Trump’s disregard for American secrets. By quickly framing the raid as concerning classified materials, the bad guys hoped the public would ignore the outrageousness of a search of a former president’s home. The backlash came nonetheless, but had the public understood that the fight concerned documents desired by the United States archivist, even stronger pushback would have been likely.

This same scenario played out with SpyGate, with the supposed standard-bearers of journalism reporting Trump and his campaign’s every connection to Russia to create a backdrop against which Trump would be believed to be a Russian collaborator. But unlike SpyGate, Americans have seen this show before and recognize the plot.

3. Leaks, Leaks Everywhere, and Not a Name to Seek
To build their preferred narrative, the Department of Justice and the FBI began leaking like a spigot. While Attorney General Merrick Garland stoically proclaimed during his press statement that he will speak through his court filings, his underlings sowed various storylines throughout the press — and always as unnamed sources.

Americans saw the same scenario from 2016 on, when leaks to the media revealed everything from the FISA surveillance of Carter Page, to the briefing of President Donald Trump on the salacious details of the Steele dossier. The leaks, then, sought to further the Russia-collusion storyline, and now they seek to push the idea that Trump committed a crime that threatens our country’s national security.
