I’ll never understand letting hatred of a politician consume your life. I thought Biden was an idiot, but I didn’t spend every waking moment screaming about him or destroying friendships and family relationships over it. If you let a politician you’ve never met cost you people you actually love, it’s time to take a step back.

We seemed to have so much trouble defining a woman. Curious what is considered a whore these days? Seriously, multiple partners? Multiple in the same week? Multiple in the same day? Same time?

For those of us who still have souls its unfathomable to think we have become no different than our enemy. We dont massacre our enemies, burn them and drag them through the street on TV. Some of us were there, and we'll never forget..execute the the sob and be done.

They attacked lard. We got Crisco, cottonseed oil hardened with hydrogen, made from what the cotton gin threw away.
They attacked butter. We got margarine, out of the same vats as the soap, with the vitamins added back by law so it would pass for food.
They attacked dripping. We got chips fried in oil that breaks down into aldehydes, the compounds a laboratory buys to damage a cell on purpose.
They attacked whole milk. We got the skimmed, with the vitamins poured off in the cream and sold back to us separately.
They attacked the egg yolk. We got egg whites in a carton, with the choline, the vitamin D and every fat-soluble nutrient left in the bin.
They attacked sugar. We got aspartame, which keeps the craving running on an empty stomach and now carries a possible cancer grade from the WHO.
They attacked breast milk. We got formula built on vegetable oil, mixed with whatever water the mother had, and a generation of babies in the poorest countries died of it.
They attacked the stockpot. We got a cube of salt and palm fat with no bone, no marrow and no gelatine in it.
They attacked wool. We got polyester, which is oil, which keeps the sweat in, and which melted into the skin of sailors on HMS Sheffield.
They attacked leather. We got polyurethane shoes that crack in one winter and sit in landfill for 500.
Now they are attacking beef. We are getting pea protein with eighteen ingredients, a cartoon cow on the box, and a third of the iron.
The original came from a field and a kitchen. The replacement came from a refinery and a patent.
Not one of the originals has ever been improved on. Every one of them has been replaced.

Socialists routinely complain about exploitation, insist that running a business is easy, and claim worker-owned enterprises are superior. Yet capitalism gives them the freedom to prove it by starting their own businesses, treating workers better, and outcompeting the very people they condemn. For a movement claiming to represent the working class, they spend remarkably little effort demonstrating their supposedly superior model and an extraordinary amount demanding control over what others have built. Apparently, practicing what they preach requires more work than preaching.

I have a request. I need to contact members of my old unit, the one I went to Desert Storm with. I need to contact members of 2nd Battalion 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. Especially members of D/2-504. I was their first sergeant.
If you know of or have contact with Desert Storm veterans of this battalion, please DM me and I will give my contact info.
This is a request for reposts as well. I have information about the VA's ability to provide healthcare for my brothers. Our battalion was the one who occupied this area and I'm paying the price with neuropathy and fibromyalgia. My symptoms are under control. I would like to see that all of my troops get the same care.
In March of 1991, following the end of Operation Desert Storm, paratroopers from 2-504 were occupying the area in southeastern Iraq encompassing Khamisiyah conducted two large scale demolition operations to destroy the Iraqi munitions and facilities in the area. Before the demolition, the Khamisiyah facility was a large ammunition storage depot and it was believed to house only conventional ammunition. When these operations were carried out, it apparently was unknown that the rockets stored in the facilities contained weaponized sarin and cyclosarin chemicals.
Please help me get in contact with my troops.
