I remember Pensacola of those bygone days...Dennis:<br /><br />I remember Pensacola of those bygone days as well. Hell, it was pretty much the same up until the mid-to-late Oughts. However a recent influx of cash from a seemingly benevolent former hospital administrator who struck it rich has radically transformed the place from a sleepy beach town with a massive military presence to a more “cosmopolitan” small city. I hear a lot more foreign languages in the grocery store than in those bucolic bygone days. <br /><br />From the comfort of my living room sofa as I type this, I can see the contractors working diligently across the street, putting the finishing touches on the three (3!) new houses they built where only one had stood for the previous 75 years or so. This sort of thing has accelerated since the Great Recession wiped out a decade of housing value “gains”. Now it appears we are in bubble territory again. This follows a general trend of massive construction spending over the past four years. I honestly don’t know where the money is coming from. <br /><br />As for the shooting a few weeks ago, it seems as though it’s almost disappeared from the radar even here. I’ve seen no word on the fate of the SA military personnel who were allegedly recording the event, nor any follow up on a specific motive after the initial few days, other than the expected “no immediate threats from other SA military” pronouncement by the Feds. And so it goes. <br /><br />Should you ever decide to visit your old stomping grounds again, please remember my long-standing invite for a beer and some good old Florida cracker seafood. Trader Jon’s is long gone, but there’s still a few of the old places around if you know where to look. <br /><br />Merry Christmas. <br /><br />-Geschreigeschreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975162873698778870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-40461799703055882782019-11-20T03:09:18.004-08:002019-11-20T03:09:18.004-08:00Great question, excellent answer.Great question, excellent answer.mobiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582872757769683429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-91929969844178439202019-11-08T13:42:00.661-08:002019-11-08T13:42:00.661-08:00Nice intro music!Nice intro music!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-21735418878814386202019-08-25T00:42:53.056-07:002019-08-25T00:42:53.056-07:00I really like this treatment of my advice, Dennis....I really like this treatment of my advice, Dennis. <br />The ball caps are out there.

The blatant racism in, and allowed, to anything connected to negroes in America is shameful, and alarming. It gives them a hyper "black privilege" to ramp up their racist remarks and attacks on every White person that they don't personally agree with or like. People like Oprah,who simply says "all Southern White people must die", is looked on as some "intelligent seer", when, in reality, she makes up lies about fictitious "racist" encounters in faraway White countries like Switzerland that NEVER...EVER...HAPPENED. Oprah, like pretty much all well known negroes in America these days, is simply ANOTHER racist negro that is never called out for her lies, or made to prove any of her claims of "racism"...they are simply accepted by a willing, and drooling, lying liberal democrat mass media. And, Oprah's clear anti White people racism, is not even a "scratch" on the surface of anti White people racism in the media, fake news "newsrooms", and the morally corrupt and sexually degenerate Hollywood...as well as the White people hating, lying liberal democrat fascist partyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646066057054575411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-32001757266358805262019-04-14T11:08:26.488-07:002019-04-14T11:08:26.488-07:00This is one of the glaring gaps in the ideology of...This is one of the glaring gaps in the ideology of libertarians. By their (somewhat incoherent) account, a private company is not capable of carrying out censorship in the way a government is. What we are seeing is that precisely the opposite is the case: The government consists of whomever has effective governance of behavior. <br />If a private company dominates the media of communication, they are capable of suppressing dissent on a scale which "state actors" really can't on their own. As we see from your article the difference between them is in fact quite blurry as their collusion becomes more explicit.Timothy Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-29348426061958382552019-02-26T08:45:24.187-08:002019-02-26T08:45:24.187-08:00Not that you asked, but I believe the joke you are...Not that you asked, but I believe the joke you are referencing is from a Jon Stewart routine back in the 90s. He was talking about going to Israel and how Jews were different there. Not 'Lemme help you with your taxes' Jews but instead 'Will you hold my machine gun while I take a leak' Jews. Though it of course may be someone else, easy to imagine other comedians making the same observation concerning the gap between American and Israeli Jews.<br /><br />I saw that bit on a show called Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist back in the late mid-to-late 90s. Re-watching that show now is a fascinating glimpse into the recent past. None of the pandering political nonsense that is incredibly common in contemporary stand up comedy existed there. And quite a few of the comics featured on the show are literally the same ones who are most endlessly engaging in this kind of crap now. (It had Stewart, C.K., Griffin, some of those other screechy left-wing women, probably many others I can't recall right now.) And the views that they find so abhorrent now were, of course, largely held by Clinton at the time, whom they no doubt largely supported.<br /><br />That's maybe the most disturbing things I've observed in society the last 15 years. Just how easily led and molded people are. When I was younger it was obvious that most people just accepted convention without really thinking about it. That's what convention is, and it's not really realistic to examine every aspect of your existence. But to then see how people just re-mold themselves to match new conventions in real time, invariably in response to incredibly childish and silly arguments . . . well it's been disconcerting.<br /><br />Anyway, this is a long, rambling comment, so I'll throw in one more tangent: I've been a fan for a long time Dennis. I don't comment much, but I've definitely been reading for well over a decade. Keep writing and I'll keep reading.

Incredible.<br /><br />By the way, Amazon Post lists writer Christopher Ingram as resident of Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. <br /><br />In the 2010 census, Red Lake Falls was counted as: 96.1% White, 0.4% African American, 0.5% Native American, 0.3% Pacific Islander, 0.8% from other races, and 2.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.1% of the population.<br /><br />Why do you suppose Christopher is choosing to overpay so drastically to live in Whiteopia, MN? Doesn’t he know he could be slicing his mortgage(or rent) by more than 50% if he moved to little Somalia down in the twin cities? Guess those “good schools” are really worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16017668.post-38408531646451942322018-11-25T15:23:52.320-08:002018-11-25T15:23:52.320-08:00thanks
