Trump, if you are watching this board, you can put the military on the border on day one of your new administration. The way you do that is to get the Sheriffs of each county along the border to deputize the Military also in Texas I would suggest the Texas Rangers could deputize them also.

Migrants Flood NYC… To Avoid Trump Deportations

As a new president prepares to enter the white house, some say NYC's sanctuary status may offer one of the last possible refuges for those afraid of a potential surge in US deportations. That being said, legal asylum seekers have a right to remain in america, even outside of sanctuary cities… which has many wondering who the real beneficiaries of sanctuary city policies actually are.

We peeled the covers off our weapons and I took a clip of ammunition from the side of my cartridge belt, tapped the black-tipped projectile ends on my rifle butt to make certain the bullets were aligned evenly in the clip, stripped back the operating rod handle, pressed the clip down on the follower and slide, and smashed the bolt home with a blow on the operating rod handle from the heel of my palm. I clicked on the safety and placed the rifle, butt down, between my knees, the muzzle pointing directly into the air.

That was SCHOOLS not indoctrination centers though.

we were gripped by exhaustion, a terrible exhaustion which turned our muscles to jelly and buckled our knees. And because the fatigue was nervous as well as physical, we were seized by an apathy which obliterated everything but the harrowing necessity of picking our feet up and putting them forward

Yea, been working through that shit ever since. Concentrating it like that does help provide contrast with reality though, which is useful for the process.

no fucks to give

Germany’s governing coalition has collapsed after disagreements over the country’s weak economy led Chancellor Olaf Scholz to sack his finance minister.

Christian Lindner’s dismissal prompted him to withdraw his Free Democrats Party (FDP) from a coalition with Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), leaving Scholz in a minority government with the Green Party.

Scholz said he would now call a confidence vote for January 15, which, if he lost, could allow elections to be held by the end of March next year – six months earlier than the elections planned for September 2025.

Germany now faces turmoil at a time of broader uncertainty. The political crisis was triggered just hours after it was announced former US President Donald Trump will get a second term – an election outcome that could bring further woes to Germany’s economy as well as threaten Europe’s united front on key issues.

THE HISTORY OF PORN

So how did we get here?

It seems that it started, surprisingly, in the infamously repressed context of 18th and 19th century England. In an era famous for being scandalized at the sight of women’s bare ankles, the pornographic novel flourished. The first and most famous of these is John Cleland’s Fanny Hill, published in 1748. Full of extremely graphic sex scenes, it scandalized the public, was quickly banned, and was obviously a huge success. By 1837, when Queen Victoria took the throne, there was a bustling pornographic book industry, with upwards of 50 smut shops on Bookseller’s Row in London.

Once photography and videography were invented, pornographers were among the first to get in on the new technology: the first pornographic film was made by the Frenchmen Eugène Pirou and Albert Kirchner in 1896. However, despite growing in popularity, pornography continued to be widely viewed as something disgusting and sinful, and was enjoyed only in secret. Adding to this was the fact that publishing or distributing pornography was illegal in most countries.

For it to even begin to reach the cultural acceptance it enjoys today, pornography had to wait until the 1950s and the advent of the mainstream porn magazine, especially Playboy.

The magazine was first released in December 1953 and was an immediate success. By 1959, Playboy had a circulation of over one million subscribers. It sold an image to the readers of themselves as “Playboys” — men who were rich, sophisticated, and most importantly, not tied down by any one woman.

This idea was a direct rebellion against the Leave It To Beaver, three-kids-two-cars-and-a-house-in-the-suburbs, family-centric culture of the 1950s, and it was led by men who felt that their prospects for a fulfilling life were being curtailed by women, especially their wives.

Instead of being tied down and restricted, the ideal Playboy was the ultimate consumer. He had the best of everything: scotch, watches, cars, clothes, and of course, women. Hugh Hefner himself, the founder of Playboy, said that “Playboy is a combination of sex…and status.”

It’s important to note that, even at this early juncture, the rise of pornography was inextricably linked to an idea of women which viewed them as a burden to be cast off, or at best, nothing more than another product to be consumed.

Hard on the heels of Playboy came Penthouse and Hustler, two magazines that both competed with and capitalized on Playboy’s success. These magazines, especially Hustler, pushed the limits of what could be shown in a mainstream magazine. The story of how Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler competed to outsell and out-sleaze the other is a long one, and there isn’t enough space to tell it here, but the long and short of it is that, as Gail Dines says in Pornland, “by the time the Internet was introduced into homes, the culture had been well-groomed to accept pornography as a part of everyday life rather than as an industry that produces a system of images that debase and dehumanize women and men.”

In the nascent days of the web, porn was (unsurprisingly) one of the first things to be shared, and as the web has grown, porn has grown right alongside it. Recently, one of the internet’s biggest porn sites even put up an ad in Times Square.

The story of porn’s explosive growth ought not to come as a surprise: we are a sinful people and will continue to seek new ways to satisfy our selfishness. Nonetheless, it is amazing to see how far porn has come since the days of the papyrus pornographers, or even of Fanny Hill.

We now live in a culture where, far from being scandalous, porn is seen by many as simply a normal part of life, or at worst, a slightly distasteful distraction. Porn stars are becoming mainstream celebrities, and movies like 50 Shades of Grey are bringing violent and exploitative porn-sex right onto the big screen.
