					<description><![CDATA[Indeed, Springsteen is a distraction. 
Who cares about him or any of those other hysterics in show business?

THIS is what the focus should be on…in order to thwart the power of the corporate, tyrannical state and those who believe they must implement it. (Take a long, hard look at the UK, most of the EU, Canada, Oz, and “Biden”’s America…for starters…):

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ...

--Trump on Springsteen&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not fond of Springsteen&#039;s politics these days but he looks awfully good for a guy in his mid-70s. He definitely works out. Maybe he&#039;s had some &quot;work&quot; done too.

I did enjoy Trump&#039;s troll showing him hitting a golf ball which knocks Springsteen  down as Springsteen stumbles to the stage.

&lt;i&gt;--&quot;Donald Trump posts hilarious video trolling singer Bruce Springsteen&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[He is certainly remarkable, perhaps even “sui generis” (though in his case, “sui generous” might be more apropos)…

Everyone has their preferences certainly; but for me, if I had only one book to read it would be “Life on the Mississippi”.
(Heck, I guess I’d also throw in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”…
—Fortunately, many more books are available!)]]></description>

I think only Democrat media and their fellow travelers would call this incitement to violence. However, if the &quot;justice system,&quot; IRS, FBI etc. wanted to target Bruce, that would be possible. But there are so many Democrat embeds in those groups.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Barry,

I have Twain&#039;s autobiography and have read at least one biography of his, along with a great many of his works. The size of his autobiography is daunting, but he dictated it to his secretary mainly in a series of vignettes, so it&#039;s a good book for simply picking up and opening to any page and reading for 5 - 10 pages.

I don&#039;t recall him specifically complaining about the difficulties and struggles in his life, but it is revealing for just how difficult everyday life was for Americans in the 1800s.]]></description>
