@Ruffinogold Yep. I'm in Slidell, La. right on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi (about 30 miles east of New Orleans). My oldest son is in the process of moving back here from Johnson City, TN.
@PappyJoe ... Johnson City is a pretty good size town . That neck of the woods is pretty cool . I guess he's familiar with the heat and humidity down in La. lol . Well , it'll be good to have your son around
Finally our government has done something about out of control, anti-American free speech!
As President Trump seeks to purge the federal government of “woke” initiatives, federal agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents.
I dont enjoy talking politics online for the most part . I find it almost worthless . But I do enjoy pointing things out sometimes
Ever since I can remember anything politics , which would be the 70's being I was born in the 60s , I remember everyone talking about getting a grip on wasteful gov spending . Im talking from both parties since the 70's . Im sure theres video online of everyone talking about it and of course no one doing anything about it . So finally there is a real push to get something done .... but its Trump , lol , so it must be bad . I mean , anyone could have done whats being done but didnt , at least not in a significant way that I can recall .
I blame the media for being in the business of pitting folks against each other . Look at how facebook used agitating feeds to get reactions that were negative , as a modern example , which they learned from traditional media . It was done on purpose because negativity gets more reaction than positivity for some reason . Kinda like Johnny Cash singing bad news spreads like wild fire [ good news travels slow ] , right .
My wish is that the American public would get past being a reactionary lot . Everything is about immediate reaction and its about the most sophomoric mindset possible ... but , easy to manipulate .
Have you ever watched an episode of Ancient Aliens [ bare with me ] ? Its basically bs but theres always a point when they say " some believe that .... " .... yada yada . Its how they interject absurdity into the conversation as a point of validity just because someone [ usually unnamed or known ] believes it , lol . This is an example of media tactics . You can always find some idiot that believes something absurd , no doubt
The word ... Experts , generally equates to biased funded disinformation . This was something I learned as a teen by the end of the 70s . Fast forward to current times and people actually think the opposite . The whole energy behind messing with the establishment has gone away from the left . I think they believe they are the establishment of the day , as if they won from back in the 60's and 70's . If they believe that , then theyve been played . Because the right are the only ones messing with the establishment . Its funny that the conservatives are the rebels of the day . The left just has absurdity to use as a message . Pretty soon theyll be saying that someone believes a monkey can fly out of your arse , so you'd have to get on board with that . Im here to tell ya that a monkey can not fly out of your arse and its more important to audit governments wasteful , fraudulent and abusive spending and doing something about it
Back in my childhood days of the 1960s, I remember a Catholic priest who hated the word "expert". He always said the correct pronunciation was Ex-spurt which should be defined or broken down as Ex (has been but is no longer) and Spurt ( a drip of water) so an expert is just a has been drip.

”….. short some additives and hyperbole.”
