1. You've been here since 2014

And only have 15 posts, 4 of them in the last 4 days?

We'd love to hear from you more often, thanks for posting!

8. What is our course...................but to protest.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
Be brave and upright that God may love thee.
Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death.
Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
That is your oath. – (Kingdom of Heaven 2005)

2. Of course it's better.

They're not under the spell of the con and they don't have to normalize him.

3. Link says "We will now be pausing this page." So no more updates, i.e. not the best coverage.

6. One Tin Soldier

One Tin Soldier
________________________________________
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

--- (The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter, performed by The Original Caste (1970)
This song was performed by Jinx Dawson and Coven in the movie "Billy Jack" (1971)

4. and the Guardian UK is better than US newspapers...

I cancelled NYT years ago, then WaPo, and now will never support corporate news media again.

5. Of course. They are motivated by schadenfreude.

7. Anything like this?

[Ladyhawke1]

9. Let me know when the truth will set you free?

Let me know when education ( and critical thinking) becomes a primary concern in this country so that others can be taught the difference between fact and fiction.
