Warnings About Aid To Africa – PAKeep in mind that Africans don’t actually “migrate” in the sense of crossing seas on their own. What most of them have been doing since 2015, is floating in NGO-supplied rubber boats off Libya’s coast, then getting picked up by European vessels and transported to their Western European points of destination, where housing and welfare money await.
N L.L. Bean Drops Life-Time Guarantee Now, in the old days, nobody in that old-time customer base would have thought of ripping off L.L. Bean by going out and buying a shot-down pair of 50-year-old Maine Hunting Shoes at a yard sale and then invoking the life-time guarantee.
The rancher or farmer who displayed these coyotes is text messaging the rest of coyoteville to steer wide and clear of his property. He doesn’t really need to; they’ve already got the message. Too hardcore for me. If I had shot one dead, at 300 yards, last week, then I’d just leave it lie. The bald eagles get a good feast, and this is enough of a spectacle for the rest of the pack. The previous kill shot was 350 yards, on snow. Not sure who did it, but my home is not a “go zone” for predators, which is important to us.
Now, if I could just get a look at that Lynx who keeps walking by.

“Half the country thinks FBI meddled”
It is so much worse than that. They didn’t just meddle they conspired, broke numerous laws, lied to congress and judges, hid crimes by others in government, covered up crimes and hid or destroyed evidence and now entire Democrat party and most in the MSM are in full scale coverup mode. There may well be a couple hundred people in the various 3 letter agencies (including Hillary) that should go to jail and perhaps a couple dozen of Obama’s men including Obama who should go to jail for this massive assault on our constitution and the Republic. My fear is that no one will go to jail and no one will be brought to justice except of course a handful of unlucky Republicans caught up in Mueller’s kangaroo court/distraction.
The answer to this problem, if the Republican congress has anyone left with any balls, is to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate all of this mess and this time to pick an aggressive ballsy prosecutor unlike Ken Starr to do the job. AND they must do this before the 2018 election or else nothing will ever happen to correct this crime family’s attempted coup.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Indian from India who’s on welfare, or even who has presented a food stamp card. Either they have a job or they have a family business.
I’m no expert on sportsmanship, but from what little I do know, he seems to have made it all the way to the Olympics without having learned anything about sportsmanship. That’s his whole gig: sports!

Suburban,
It is my opinion that many people new to home ownership in the US, do not realize what is expected by most of the neighborhood for maintaining their house so it does not become an eyesore. There is an Indian family down the street from us that does NOT take care of their property. The HOA is on their ass regularly and only with that is the house temporarily brought back into marginal acceptance levels. Their house has several volunteer trees growing. They appear to be the marginally desirable Chinese Elm and Cottonwood, and are growing right next to the house’s foundation. A dead evergreen shrub was finally cut down, but there is a 10″ tall hacked piece of stump still protruding from the ground. Their flowerbed is commonly full of various crab grasses. The original set of trees and shrubs input by the prior owners is half dead and in need of dire attention. I’ve toyed with the idea of going by at night with a party mix of Roundup/Ornamec and spray all the vile vegetation.
The point is, these are not inexpensive houses and we reside on a golf course. That owner is a software engineer for a large company and I know he is making the jack. He most likely doe not have the skills, desire or total awareness to do anything to prevent his property from looking like shit. The quickly growing shit trees are going to eventually cause foundation problems and he is completely unaware. This family probably emigrated from a large city or a crowded area in the province.
My wife, who is from the Philippines and has engineering degree, asked me our first summer if we were really pouring drinking water on the front lawn. Culture shock.

@Snake, it sounds like the HOA “deed restrictions” are slack. I have worked on many deed restrictions for gated communities that are more than 100 pages long and very detailed. Presumptive homeowners must sign an affidavit that they will abide by the DR. Increasing fines are levied for infractions. That Indian (dot not feather) homeowner should have been fined for planting “non-approved” vegetation and given 49 hours to remove and dispose of it. Further, ALL alterations to the property must be approved by the HOA board prior to enactment of same.
I’m a staunch believer in people using their property as they see fit but if their actions negatively effect their neighbors or others then remedy must be sought. Many people would be appalled at some of the stuff people do on their land around here. Sometimes I chuckle and sometimes I shake my head in disgust.

Ghost,
Thank you for the insight. I will dig up the HOA rule book and talk to the HOA President about a more serious level of enforcement.

When the cost of stealing is more than the cost of buying, stealing will stop.
What do mean, cost of stealing, ghost?
If a larcenist approaches you pull your pistol and lay waste to his ass.
It just cost that larcenist it’s life.
Other potential larcenists will take note.
Won’t the larcenists start blowing heads of the people they want to steal from?
Yes, however there are always MORE good people than bad, that’s why good always wins, eventually.

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
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
