Just wondering what's going on in the world. No more news at home until there is news I can watch. I have noticed an increase in C17 activity in the past few days. That is normally in advance of some rhubarb in the world. Just say'n..

I stopped watching the news so long ago. Over 2 decades now. I used to try to find online sources that were not "pozzed". Now I don't bother. It doesn't matter. Whatever people are talking about here are likely all the current events I need to bother to research, and when I research, I try to dig for source material, rather than just "reporting", and spin.

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Nope. I listen to some news/talk on my commute, but sitting down and tuning in? Practically never.

No.
National News haven't in years. Can't stand any of them.

This is some seriously scary stuff! Turn off all broadcast and cable news. Ignore them completely. Search out specific news sources you can trust online. Trust is earned. Not given.

I try and I'm persistent but all I see is COVID propaganda and Trump bashing. Occasionally some queer news. Commercials that make it look like the U.S. is mostly negroes.

Yep My younger brother [RIP Tony] didn't know how fake the MSM was - he said 'I never heard it was fake' I said 'they' aren't going to tell you they're lying . Me - I gave up on all of it 6 years ago , no cable in my house . Did it back in the 90's for about 4-5 years - female unit had to have tv . She's gone and so is tv . I wouldn't watch it if they sent me $75 per month , those POS will never get another dollar from me .

I just read the junk mail.
It tells me I need a different Medicare supplement. And that I need a new mattress as they are on sale down at the local furniture store. While there I can pick up a new lamp too.
Oh, and Sportsman's Warehouse is selling that new Sig ammo cheap.

We have reached the point where watching the news is like getting a small pox vaccination; you do it once and you're covered; don't need to do it again.
