Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Great. Should they be lucky enough to exfil. to America, these Afghan women will be taught to stand to pee.
Art will be a distant part of their experience. First, you have to soldier and win a few wars before you can enjoy any kind of civilization. It’ll be interesting to watch how the Pol Pot days ahead for Afghanistan play out. No doubt, the media will pin it on Donald J. Trump.
Some of said bigwigs, including the managing parties behind “Joe Biden,” might be cooking up a neat operation in which “Joe Biden” resigns, Ms. Harris gets elevated to POTUS… Ms. Harris appoints Barack Obama vice-president… and then Ms. Harris resigns, making the popular ex-president president again. The 22nd Amendment only prevents presidents from being elected more than twice, not from being appointed by happenstance. Would they dare? Well, why not? They dared to engineer some pretty audacious election hijinks in 2020.

As if that wasn’t the plan from the start. Or this isn’t, for that matter.
I did read that something is a’brewin’ to remove Bidet from office and Ghost is correct, Madam Calloused Knees can appoint whomever she prefers to fill the VP vacancy; no doubt by either Ears or Mike. I doubt there exists any desire in Congress to engage in government; haven’t heard a word from those assholes on anything in the past few years.
That 2nd Civil War we’ve been anticipating might be closer than we think.
It’s not closer than I think. It’s already going on. There’s no turning back now.
What needs to happen, in order:
The gov’t needs to immediately heavily sanction the media with severe, instant penalties.
The gov’t needs to “fix” Afghanistan immediately no matter what it takes, no longer than 10 days, max.
The gov’t needs to cut ALL taxes, top to bottom – no exceptions anywhere, today.
The gov’t needs to eliminate at least 50% of all employees throughout the world.
The gov’t needs to bring ALL american soldiers back to the US within 30 days.
The gov’t needs to stop ALL immigration in all of it’s forms today and not consider reinstating it for at least 5 years.
The gov’t needs to eliminate all persons in CONUS that are not legal US citizens within 30 days.
See, all of this is going to happen anyway whether the gov’t exists or it doesn’t.
Why not do it peacefully?
Midnight knocks on the door, political prisoners languishing in D.C., cities burning, criminal aliens bused and flown to your town, an appointed president, travel restricted, a military purged of patriots, our rulers secure in a razor wire topped fenced, gated, restricted citadel in D.C…….
Sadly we (Sadly me included) talk a good talk but for years, decades now, they came for…., but we weren’t.. and we have done nothing.
Until the average American is in fear for their way of life, nothing will happen. The average soccer mom is still taking her kids to games, going to WalMarts and might complain a little about the price of gas. 13 American were killed yesterday a million miles away. 9/11 was 20 years ago. The frog may be boiled in the process.
Is it any wonder that they despise us and our culture, when this is what we teach them is our “important” art? The oikophobia and despair that set into the intelligentsia after The Great War continue to destroy.
It would have been a million times more beneficial for their present and their future if our American troops, in all those twenty years, had taught ALL Afghan women and girls about guns and rifles, how to shoot them, and all the arts of self-defense and martial arts. Because they’re are going to need al of these right now.
Imagine if an army of Afghan Amazons had been created by our armed forces. Imagine. Imagine that Army had confronted the Taliban. They would have fought for their very lives and their children’s futures, and they would have dispatched the Taliban into the ash heap of history.
Now, what you see is a people who would rather flee than fight. A people who would gladly hand their infants to NATO soldiers at the airport gates than allow them to live in that country another minute. A people who will see their talented women face the wrath of savage pigs shooting burka-covered women in public, yet they would do nothing to stop it.
If Afghan women love freedom so much, they should have been taught (or at least, they should have begged to be taught) how to defend themselves rather than shown useless s#@% some idiots in the West call “art.” None of that “art” is defending them now.
