That's good, you were smart.

So @mr-x thinks you and iowadawg are lemmings for taking common sense precautions.



Again, this nonsense. First, what in the world would some relative owning slaves have to do with her? Then, they were white slaves, supposedly:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kamala-harris-ancestor-slaves/

So a relative owned some white, Irish slaves, therefore..................? Dude died in 1843.

I thought we were working on equality? a white slave isn't important as a black slave?

And i am Irish too, so i want reparations from Kamala Harris and her Irish slave owning family

All Slaves Matter!!!

Maybe, your family owned black slaves? Maybe, you should pay her? You still haven't told me what in the world that has to do with Kamala. Are you responsible for what your family did in the 1800's? Not a good look for you guys, grasping at straws. It's basically, her grandfather did something in the 1800's or, oh, when she was younger she had sex with somebody she shouldn't have. That's it?

Already checked that out, My family immigrated from Ireland in the mid 1800's , they were craftsman in the northeast US, my great great grandfather was a mill worker in Pennsylvania. His father was a farmer in Limerick Ireland. and you????

My family beat your family in cards.

Just curious, did you ever get a DNA test? I posted in the other thread some of my results. Did Ancestry.com and 23andme. Ancestry.com is better since they have a bigger data set.

From Ireland as well to:

"Lower Midwest & Virginia Settlers"

"Community History
When the Ohio River Valley opened for settlement after the Revolutionary War, hearty English, German, Scots, and Scots-Irish farmers moved to the frontier. After a series of brutal wars with native tribes, they pushed west into the prairies. Settlers planted corn and turned the land into what became known as the “Corn Belt.” Over the years, railroads, factories, and auto plants transformed the wilderness region into an urban and commercial land."

Before that tho, from England to Ireland, then to the states.

Everybody should get a DNA test, it's cool. If money is an issue, wait till Black Friday/Cyber Monday or Mother's Day/Father's Day. I've seen it go down to about $60. Can get it from Amazon.com or direct.

Right now, $99 - https://www.amazon.com/Kit-de-prueba-genética-AncestryDNA/dp/B00TRLVKW0/

Same price at the Ancestry.com site as well.

You spit in a tube once. Send it in. Then from time to time, they update it. As they get more data, your Ethnicity Estimate may change a little.

Co-founder of Maryland group that protested for state to reopen tests positive for coronavirus

Tim Walters, the organizer for Reopen Maryland, said in a Facebook live video posted Thursday that he is quarantining in his home. The US Navy veteran and former Republican candidate for Maryland's House of Delegates also said that his wife and son would get tested and they would be following the 14-day quarantine.

"I did have a hard day yesterday. I told you guys I wasn't feeling really well. I crashed later in the day, had to go to the emergency room. I thought I was actually having a stroke ... turns out I had Covid," he said in the video, continuing later: "As you can see, I'm not dying. It's uncomfortable. I would make it akin to having the flu."

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/c...sitive-for-coronavirus/ar-BB162Uos?li=BBnb7Kz

Which makes me curious. When he normally has the flu, does he think he's having a stroke, goes to emergency room? No. He's still trying to save his position on it.

GOP Senator Questions if Fox News Even Wants Donald Trump Re-Elected

"Republican Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley on Saturday questioned if Fox News even wants to see Donald Trump get re-elected in November, criticizing a Friday town hall interview the president did with host Sean Hannity.

Grassley echoed one of Trump's frequent criticisms against Fox News by asking if the cable news network has any loyalty to the president."

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elec...onald-trump-re-elected/ar-BB162vUp?li=BBnb7Kz

So blatant. They literally expect Fox to be loyal the President, questioning them on it. My goodness.

It's funny seeing some still questioning news sources but then either afraid to list their own, or using the source I just quoted.

Just going thru bookmarks, something @mr-x can ponder tomorrow.

Michigan - Biden +8.6
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/mi/michigan_trump_vs_biden-6761.html

@mr-x cherry picked 1 poll, the one that had Biden up 1, the Trafalgar Poll, not these polls:

NY Times/Siena - Biden +11
TIPP - Biden +13
EPIC-MRA +16

He cherry picked the one that said Biden was up +1, said the other polls that had Biden +11, +13, +16 aren't good.

But, lets check pollster ratings:

Siena A+ who had Biden up 11
Epic B+ who had Biden up 16
Tipp A/B who had Biden up 13

Trafalgar Group C- who had Biden up 1

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/

So basically the higher rated polls has Biden whipping Trump in Michigan.

Enjoy your Sunday.

In @JB Lions' defense, Washington Times cited NYT/Siena poll; Bidens smallest lead

RealClearPolitics'; "average of fake polls"

Trump: They'll tear down Washington and Lincoln

Democrats yesterday: You're crazy, trying to divide us.

Democrats today:

After protesters tore down two statues at the state capitol, attention is now turning to the statue of President Abraham Lincoln at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In 30 - 10 vote California removes anti-discrimination laws from their constitution.

It will now be legal to discriminate against white people.

Companies Firing Innocent Employees Over Alleged Racial Offenses To Save Face, Report Finds

Companies across the country, desperate to show that they are not racist, have been firing employees after they have been publicly accused of racism – whether the evidence supports the accusation or not. Yascha Mounk has taken a look at the recent string of firings and has published his findings in The Atlantic. Mounk found that many of the fired employees did nothing wrong yet were fired anyway to appease the mob.

I don't think it was either credible or neutral. Long-time anti-Trumper says "Orange Man bad" with some nice pseudo-psychology to dress it up. Just more hate.

I could easier make the case that the hate of the left has created the Trump presidency. If they had just treated him like any other president, who knows what he might have been able to do? They were trying to overturn the election from day one with whatever smears and lies they could muster, putting him on the constant defensive. And they have the nerve to talk about uniting the country now?

Politicians do not come with a warrantee or return policy. Repubs did much to set the stage with Obama

Unfortunately, in reaching justice and equality there will be collateral damage.

Trump's use of terminology like, "Kung Flu" legitimizes racism from the top down.

See above for a example of real racism.

Kung FU isn't a race. It's slang. Programmers have called good programming skill Code Fu.

Being offended doesn't make you a victim. Being offensive isn't racism. When you pretend it is, it delegitimizes the word. When everything is racist, nothing is. imo.

Real racism is hard to overcome because our culture rewards victimhood and encourages people to be easily offended.

In the 70's early 80's there used to be dinner clubs where people form different backgrounds, races would socialize and network. Something like Toastmaster without the speeches.

Friendship kills racism but you have to make an effort. There will always be someone who wants to hold on to their anger for various reasons including politics.

Now we have people trying to "cancel" others for disagreements, expressing thoughts that are offensive or just politically incorrect.

Don't care after you tripped over yourself, before that, lemming. Great job genius.

When all else fails, lie.

Kung Fu refers to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete. That is why programmers use the term Code Fu. Make no bones about it, the term Kung FLU is derogatory.

Seeing Pence and Abbott on TV eating it now.

Pence - "I encourage everyone to wear a mask" I guess he's a lemming now. Actually wearing a mask getting off the plane, both him and Abbott. I guess they looked at the current polls.

Abbott - Taken a "swift and dangerous" turn in Texas.

This is bad news for Trump, 5% going very well, 76% badly/very badly:

The point is it's offensive to Asians, an Asian reporter literally told him that. He knows it's offensive. The next day after a reporter told him that, he said it in front of a bunch of students. It also lends to more more issues for Asians is this country. Trump doesn't care.

That reply makes no sense to what I quoted. Remember what I said about book burning? Did you forget already? Remember what I said about burning the flag, you have that right? I've fine with people having those rights, I also have the right to point it out, clown on those people etc. Cohen trolled those racists, I'm good with that.
