Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Irony: Free Speech Documentary Canceled Because It Doesn't Align With Theatre's 'Values'


The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is no mystery — just a damning indictment of America’s ‘elites’


‘A Recipe for Idiocracy’ - For the past several years, America has been
using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly
thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been
lowering standards and removing penalties for failure. The results are
coming into focus.

Re: Identity Crisis

The irony of the whole trans thing is that sex is not a social construct but rather identifying as the opposite gender is. The young man in the video first thought that he might be a girl because he got along better with girls (a social issue) and then his thoughts about being a girl were reinforced by a bunch of adults affirming those thoughts (again, a social mechanism). If there were no social reinforcement for those thoughts, chances are that they would have subsided.

30,000 students of the Charlotte NC school system skipped school this week. A teacher is on record saying that these are students whose parents are undocumented foreigners. The reason that they aren't in school is because ICE has spread a "web" over the city of Charlotte to snare illegals. 30,000 in just one city! Clearly we need to do more to catch and release back to their own country. As hard as ICE is working they can't catch up at this rate.

....ruling class. Especially judges.

It is three Democrat appointed judges that ruled to keep the Epstein files sealed. Richard M Berman -appointed by Bill Clinton, Paul Engelmayer -appointed by Obama, and Robin L Rosenberg - appointed by Obama. Now the uniparty will argue over national security issues on the 'file' release. More diversion.

Epstein is just another 'shiny thing' to provide diversion from the corruption of the Democratic party.

The UK Health Security Agency just won a long two year court battle that allows them to continue to hide the negative health effects of the Covid-19 vaccines. Think about that for a minute.


One of the things I remember but cannot cite a reference to was an "expert" being questioned, I think by congress, who had conducted studies on the Covid-19 vaccines before their release using lab rats. In the study all the rats died suddenly so they ended the study. Shortly after that our government approved the use of the vaccines on humans. So in a round about way the vaccines were tested for safety and efficacy, after they were approved for human use. But just as in the UK the government has banned the release of the results of that "live" test on humans. What could they possibly be afraid of?

Oh please, " Their doctored video was so egregious that Trump threatened them with a $1 Billion lawsuit" Of course he did. That's what he does threaten, bully and attempt to intimidate ANYONE who challenges him at any level. I voted for trump 3 times simply because the other choice was as odious. He is offensive intentionally, "quiet Piggy" is that what you want to hear from a president's mouth? It is truly frightening that otherwise intelligent people excuse everything he does. But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Trump himself said that people loved him so much he could commit murder and get away with it. He is a narcissist of the first order with the antisocial tendencies of a sociopath.

Trump doesn't suffer fools well. The press wants to play "gotcha". They go after Trump like it is their national sport. They gave slo Joe and Cackles a pass but any conservative politicians gets attacked by the press 24/7. A slick politician wouldn't have said "quiet piggy". A good English politicians would have put her down with polysyllabic feint praise. Well, Trump is Trump and threw the press pool a bone and they will make the most of it. So even though I wish Trump had the quick and lethal wit of Margeret Thatcher in the end it changes nothing for me and most MAGA supporters. There is no one else that can or will do what he does and god knows American needs him. The world needs him too! The UK and Europe, Canada and Australia are going down the tubes and will be unrecognizable in 20 years. America was right with them in 2016. Trump may only give us a hiatus BUT in that time we will all get to see the rest of the 1st world turned into shithole countries and maybe that will awaken the long slumbering Patriotism we had in 1776.
