  1. Just WOW! Thank you, Neo. Some very smart people involved. There are issues today, but I believe they will be overcome, again.
    Too many Tourist visit.

  2. It’s crazy and telling how in the aftermath of the school shooting in Madison that Zhou Bai-Den and others pontificated about gun control, while after the murder of Brian Thompson not a word about that matter.

  3. Venice is a very fascinating place, the skill it took to build it, out of the marshes, the power struggles, the doge, and the council of 10, it’s great colonial expansions, and its eventual collapse

  4. A fascinating video.
    Venice is, above all, a result of problem solving.
    Acute, on-going, SUCCESSFUL problem solving….

    Trump and his administration are about to embark on the need to turn things around in the US, after years of deliberate sabotage by the Democratic Party.
    (Trudeau has, likewise, been sabotaging the country he purportedly “governs” in a similar fashion. Trump’s recent election victory has made it much harder to conceal that the Canadian “emperor” is ABSOLUTELY NAKED—except perhaps for his trademark goofy socks—which is why he’s currently in such hot water. IOW, his policy of utter destruction can no longer be hidden PLUS Trump’s victory demonstrates that CHANGE is possible.)

    Here’s an important article about how to start correcting a major socio-economic—and hence HUMAN—issue, by first identifying it (i.e., not covering it up) and then addressing it:
    “‘The Corrections’: The New Administration And The Employment Reset“—

  5. Women are the only hope for this wretched world. But even women have been brainwashed by moids for too long theyve internalized the patriarchy and turned on each other, always begging for for male approval and validation. Its disgusting. I realize the truth men are iredeemable. radfem hitler was is f****** vindicated now. They cant be reformed or redeemed. Theyre a f****** scourge upon the earth. The only solution is to total exterminate them and every foid who worships these f****** parasites. Every single male must be wiped out, from babies to the elderly. Only then can women be free to create a new world. ill be a pioneer, ill be the first to take the first step. i dont care if theyr fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, teachers, police, and especially n*ggers or politicians. ive been craving to kill them all. This is my mission. only when their parasitic sludge has been expunged from this earth is when Then the world will be clean and women can start over. It’s the only way. in aproximately 10 mintue si should be dead, its strange but it feels good.

    I guess feminists really do hate men to the point of destroying civ!

    A few dead for the cause…

    If you are wondering what “radfem hitler” is, it’s a term to describe the most violent wing of radical feminism. It’s the type of feminism that says “every single male must be wiped out, from babies to the elderly.”

    Some people saw this coming.

    The rest refuse to acknowledge how far it really is till SURPRISE

  6. i think the left used to call that eliminationist rhetoric, or stochastic terrorism, any thing they would use to weaponize anti prog criticism,

  7. Venice is one of my all-time favorite places to have visited.

    The reason it originally existed is no longer there. (Cities are no longer allowed to build empires, own navies, and monopolize salt production and China trade.) There is nothing there but tourism now. So they have a lot of problems due to tourism, but without tourism Venice would disappear. Venice needs the tourists, it has nothing else to fall back on. The mainland territories of Venice have other industries but they are like any other big city–no one needs to live in the archipelago if there’s no tourism, and for First World standard of living the archipelago needs very expensive maintenance.

    Even with the tourism as it is now, every year the government of Italy grants Venice a subsidy under the Special Law for Venice. Without it Venice isn’t viable.

    I’ve never been there in the summer, too hot, smelly and crowded. (Those canals are also the sewers; Venice is like a giant toilet flushed twice a day, not every building has modern waste treatment.) I recommend going in December, they do a lot of Christmas stuff, it’s not crowded, hot, or smelly.

    What’s funny is that while Italy makes a big deal about Christmas, it’s American-style Christmas, with Bing Crosby songs and giant Christmas trees and little Santa villages and ice-skating.

    Watch the gondoliers to see where they go for lunch and eat there, it will be good food and reasonably priced.

  8. Kate – I think that commenter is quoting the “manifesto” of the Madison WI killer, but it failed to have quote marks or link to the original document. Even the blocked quote is not linked to documentation.

    I just ignore such rants..

  9. In case anyone missed it – here is a nice article on Trump’s news conference:

    And, here is a post about support for military on the border – 73% of Americans are in favor of such actions. I have no problem with the military standing guard on the border. After all, the job is to protect Americans and the fight is not always on foreign ground. It may be time to reevaluate and update the rules of engagement especially since no one seems to know how to deal with aircraft or drones over American cities.

  10. I saw part of Trump’s press conference. It was refreshing to have a national leader who can answer questions intelligently.
