"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" — Elizabeth Willing Powel

"A republic, if you can keep it." — Benjamin Franklin Here's a dot gov source for this quote, which is in fact, rather famous, and can be found everywhere.

Welp, you voted for it. Here goes a thread on olives for all you preppers and prepperettes! Reply below with your stupid AMA questions! Olives! Let's talk about olives! So delicious, but such a stigma about how they arrive from the tree to your table.

El Paso is now facilitating sanctuary cities to be sanctuary cities. The left has shown the only way illegal immigration becomes a discussion point outside of conservative circles is to see those who've entered illegally show up in sanctuary cities and enclaves full of rich leftists.

Inflation is up to 9.1% this month, and that's *with* a month of gas prices in slight decline. What's it gonna be next month when they go back up? And yes we most likely will see higher prices at the pump. The Biden administration wants them higher. They've said as much. Their policies of killing oil projects and limiting production show this. Diesel is still near all-time highs. That's going to continue to affect shipping.

I've been stuck at 19.4K followers for a long while now, no matter how many follows I get. Once in a great while it'll hit 19.5 followed by a quick purge. One of the more interesting tests for new Elon Musk Twitter is when/if that stagnation will change. My hunch was that 20K had some sort of significance for accounts, thus the throttling.

That background check and waiting period just to buy a new assaultwater pole is ridiculous! At least you can skip the waiting period when buying a fly fishing rig. Just don't have a buddy try to purchase one for you if you can't get one yourself!

If these measures were put into a single bill by themselves, @PressSec Psaki could prove these 31 Republican senators voted against Ukrainian aid rather than wanting to aid them, but not being able use that as justification for voting for $1,500,000,000 worth of additional pork. Democrats know Republicans will vote for Ukrainian aid as a single issue item. They also know many won't when the small amount of aid is stuffed into a gigantic trillion-dollar, pork-laden mega-bill. If the Ukrainian aid was that important to Democrats, they could have passed it.

"Don't buy in bulk." That's four bucks a pound or ten bucks for five pounds. @bopinion is either incredibly bad at math, or the writers simply want poor people to pay twice as much for the same product. To fight inflation, you see.

Oh wow! All this time alive and I've never been tested! Just assumed the meat and two vege spoke for themselves! “I’m a physician and I can tell you this is very subtle. You might be a man. How do you know you’re not if you’ve never been tested?”

The last time we established a No Fly Zone against a Slavic country was in Serbia, with a few MiG-29s and MiG-21s. It took weeks to gain air superiority and months for a ceasefire, and we still lost aircraft. Doing this against Russia is a commitment Biden is not willing to make. The only reason we were able to take control of the airspace over Serbia in a matter of weeks is because we bombed the crap out of the few fighter-capable airfields they had, and bombed 80% of their air force before it could take off.

By axing the Keystone pipeline, crippling domestic oil production, using up national reserves, and stopping the sanctions on the Nord 2 pipeline the previous administration had put in place, the Biden administration made us far more dependent on Russian energy. Remember, late in the Trump administration, the United States finally began exporting more oil than we imported. We were weaning ourselves off the Russian/Middle Eastern energy dependence we'd gotten ourselves into and were heading towards the use of mostly North American energy.

Once again for the paint-chip-eating crowd, those emails weren't just "deemed personal." They were classified information, up to and including Top Secret/Special Compartmentalized Information, held on a personal, nonsecure server likely hacked by our enemies. Petty Officer or Sergeant Clinton would still be doing hard time in the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for that.

Mrs. Clinton skated off scot-free because she is tightly connected to those in power who believe their allies are above the law.

Eric is telling us we absolutely *must* suddenly change our voting laws because in the next 250 years, we'll add another ONE THOUSAND states to the union. Even if you add every single U.S. territory (14 total, including unincorporated, unorganized and unpopulated islands), even those without civilian populations, that's 28 more senators.

If you chop every single state, not just the big ones, into 5 states that's 200 more.

People rioted, burned down cities, and killed people over a trial verdict they didn't like. Now imagine the chaos over the goods in your area's last generator-powered grocery, when no one has had anything but rotted food in a dead fridge for three weeks. Anything run on electric is long dead. The last of the fossil fuels has gone to the few remaining hospitals still holding out. You're down to opening cans and scarfing down cold pork n' beans in the dark, trying to figure out how to communicate with friends and relatives.

They've already told you what they're doing. And they call you the terrorists, the fascists:

"We are working day and night, around the clock to make sure their lives are as miserable and difficult as possible." "Oh, but I'm not alt-right!" you cry.

Yes. Yes you are. We all are. Conservatives, moderates, liberals, normal people who don't have anything to do with politics. We're all the alt-right to the left. All it takes is a disagreement on ideology, or policy issues, or our existence.

The life expectancy in 1521 in Europe was between 30 and 40 years of age. The poorest people ate mostly bread and beans. They suffered from plague, tuberculosis, and an assortment of other maladies in addition to cancer.

Today, you can buy a ten pound bag of chicken for $6.98. This brings us to an interesting linguistics point. In the Middle Ages, because poor people couldn't afford meat they couldn't raise or catch, only the rich ate the better cuts of meat. The poor could raise a few chickens, and pull some fish out of the river, but not much more.

A THREAD: The research, study, or theory that bona fide human treatment, medicine, or vitamins would not hurt, and may indeed help fight COVID-19, followed by the resulting reaction from media and government. We start with...

UV light treatment vs. "Drinking/injecting bleach." Hydroxychloroquine vs. "Fish tank cleaner." (Conflating hydroxychloroquine with chloroquine phosphate, a completely different chemical compound.)

The world suddenly is seeing shortages, and more now than in early 2020 when almost everywhere was shut down tight. We're seeing this everywhere now. Cargo ships loitering off ports, unable to pull into port.
