Ayn Rand
Many years ago, I was introduced to Ayn Rand by some long, forgotten person. A person that I still owe a great, unpayable debt for suggesting to read her stories, such as Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, We the Living, and Anthem.
Now, most people know Ms. Rand for her, probably, greatest work, Atlas Shrugged. I won't recap it here, but safe to say, you need to take the time to read it, if you want to know the future, of our country.
Another prophetic tale is Anthem.
O.K.
I screwed that up, but I'm tired.
So, ...

Aaaah, This is even in the top twenty events.
80 Times
He sure did, but did your read the rebuttal?
Algorithms
As you know, I bash technology, but it has its uses.
The only problem, ...
Technology can be hacked.
Bipartisanship
Yeap, when the Democrats are in power, they want to work together.
When, they aren't ...
Canada
If it's such a great place to live, why do they need all those handguns?
Documents
You and your family need certain documents, originals or copies, in your emergency evacuation kit.
One of these documents is a passport.
Facts
Public Broadcast Service (PBS) has a reputation, among its listeners, for reporting the facts, so why should PBS care whether or not YouTube lists it as a state sponsored news organization?
Because it is ... "an independent, private, not-for-profit corporation, ..."
Then why does it get any money from the federal government?
Ha, Ha, Ha
I'm cool, ...
As long as he didn't care when people laugh about him getting hit then wishing that he had died.
Illegals
Doesn't matter if they are black or white, brown or red, male of female, transgender or homosexual, single or married, child, teenager, young adult, older adult, or a so-called Dreamer.
They are here illegally; they are criminals
The Haves
Can't owns firearms. Can't own knives. Can't kick criminals out of the country.
What did they expect?
Israel
I have been infatuated with the Israelis for decades. They are some no nonsense people.
They see a problem; they take care of it.
Leftists
I'm cool with California going extreme Leftist.
The only problem, ...
A lot of those folks are going to start fleeing to other parts of the country, when California falls apart, then they'll spread the disease to your town.
Los Angeles
Sometimes you need an example of how to do it, ... the wrong way.
"Migrants"
Yes, we need more people, just like them.
Naval Drones
Proof of concept.
Now, it's just a matter of time before we have Terminators.
Profits
I'll make a deal with you, Mr. Weinstein. You get to set rent prices, and I get to set how much money you and your friends make for the rest of your life.
Unfair you say?
Readers
You know, I'm anti-crime like y'all.
The only problem, we have been let down by the politicians limiting these powers.
RINOs
Yeap, let'em pass a bill with no wall.
Robber Barons
Lucky for them, the Communists like their products.
If they didn't, there would be blood in the street, their homes, and their businesses.
Television
Some people need folks to tell them what to think.
Some folks need people to show them what to think
Some people don't think while some folks do think
Either way, ...
It's the original Facebook, selling you and your family to a bunch of advertisers.
Warfare
This writer is spot on about the future of warfare.
Who am I kidding?
No one knows the future, especially about conflict.
Overheard
“Just remember, Hollywood is first and foremost in the money-making business, not the consciousness-raising business, ...”
“It’s clear,” Nunes said in a statement of his own, “that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again.”
"A further concern is the growing prevalence of anti-Semitic sentiment in schools, particularly among many young Muslims."
"Lately, one thing is standing out to me about how we keep our shooting culture: the biggest predictor I’ve noticed on whether your support gun control or not is “Do you own a gun?”"
"Bizarre as it sounds, America is a country now ruled by un-Americans."
"The Left has fully embraced Islam and will use whatever linguistic gymnastics it takes to protect the followers of that religion no matter how many times its adherents put targets on Westerners."
"Still, such programmes are undoubtedly legal. The Thirteenth Amendment to the constitution prohibits slavery and indentured servitude—“except as a punishment for crime”."
“Facebook appeals to your lizard brain — primarily fear and anger,” he said. “And with smartphones, they’ve got you for every waking moment.”
"Now, those same papers take the side of butt-covering secrecy and demonize those who demand transparency."

During the picking process many of the cranberries are torn from the vines and fall to the ground. The bogs are then flooded and agitated with the hydroplane which causes the cranberries to float
