Primary Arms sells corn cobs? You know you can get them for free right?
No, it was a side rail mount for a corn cob.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

My aunt and uncle must have been wealthy. The outhouse on their 285 year old farm had toilet paper on a real toilet paper holder! The bucket didn't have corn cobs, either. It was full of lime and and had a metal scoop, too! :cool:

Interesting video of someone in Argentina demonstrating the effectiveness of different masks using a can of deodorant.

I haven't tried it for myself, but I'm not surprised at the results.

Excellent dissent to the SC ruling on attending church. Really, substitute any number of things for "church" and it applies as well. This seems to be a clear case of picking and choosing, and what the hell is going on with Roberts?

Every "WTF?" decision Roberts makes that comes down on the wrong side of liberty increases my belief that he has been compromised in some manner.

Is that the "Do I have it?" test, or the "Did I have it" test? A few weeks ago I wanted to do the former, but still want to do the latter. Idaho has been kinda sucky for test availability. They are still very much into "health/life threatening only". To me, it's just as important to have tests for asymptomatic people widely available.

Nasal swab, so it's the do I have it. I haven't seen any antibody testing available via public health. Probably take 3 months to get that test via appointment with my GP.

There are a lot of folks pretending to be allies to the right everywhere, not just on the Supreme Court or in politics.

Everywhere.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I meant ask, are/were you having symptoms?

No, just been traveling the state for work and my town is a current hot spot. I'll probably try to get tested every week if I  can.

I don't know if it is true, but I read that GWB picked Roberts just to rubber stamp his war on terror laws.

Censored by big tech? Say it ain't so

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/07/27/facebook-censors-viral-video-of-doctors-capitol-hill-coronavirus-press-conference/

Twitter is apparently actively censoring anything positive about Hydroxychloroquine, while highlighting anything negative about it. They just suspended Trump Jr for posting a positive video on it.

Any reaction to Covid 1984 other than fear, neurotic panic or lurching towards totalitarianism is just not tolerated.

Censoring every and all dissenting voices in social media is doing nothing to dissuade me that we are being purposefully manipulated.

Government officials are scaring people away from using a drug that has decades of safe use ...  by talking about its dangers.

Doctors across the planet say it helps if started early in the infection.

That message is censored by ALL mainstream media.

THAT kind of misinformation is fine.

Anything that scares people away from a potential treatment is good propaganda. Anything that makes people have hope for a potential treatment is BAD propaganda. Because Orangemanbad must be defeated.

Duh.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
