    Whew! This is getting tiresome trying to find a real king in America! I guess we will have to wait until King Charles visits later this year. I have turned over every rock and looked around every corner, but I can’t find one.

    Charles III is Canadian Head of State, so your Northern neighbour still has a "Hannoverain monarch. George V changed his Family name "Saxe-Coburg-Gotha" for Windsor during WW1 but that does not change the bloodlines. Just like with your elected Presidents, Kings/ Queens can be good or bad.
    There are also the LA King NHL....I cheer for Montreal Canadiens, "Kings of Hockey" 25 Cups.

    All this grousing about gas prices…. It isn’t even at the level they were the entire last two years of Biden’s term…… But I can’t help but worry. If the doodoo really hit the fan and we were forced as a nation to make the sacrifices made during WW2…. Could our sensitive self absorbed society even remotely handle it?

    I have no doubt that the patriots in this country would step up to meet the challenge. But, the pink hairs and man-buns? I think we know the answer to that.

    I think, they will have no choice. this War must end with "Regime change" there are no other alternatives. Not finishing will be worse then Truman not finishing off the Chinese in Korean War. Now we have a nuclear armed regime run by a lunatic. In Iran, the regime will get their nukes, either from Kremlin, Beijing or homegrown in deep underground labs, which are still intact. These birds think martrydom = paradise. If Trump will not, the Israelis will finish the job. A nuke strike on Israel would be fatal, for such a small nation.

    Yeah, here on May Day (Commie Holiday) you see the manbuns, weirdos out celebrating Mao, Stalin, Che Guevara, Lenin. They would have been first to be purged, shot, end up in slave camps, but they are illiterate in their knowledge of history.

    There are members on this very forum who have been brainwashed to follow the failed ideologies of socialism and communism. I’m certain they would have no problem following Mao, Castro, Putin, Khameini, et al if it meant they could destroy liberty and capitalism. These people are the true enemies within.

    Karl Marx once said, "religion is the opiad of the masses" Marxism on the otherhand, is the, "Enslaver of the masses"
    Rightwing idealogy beleives, " Capitalism is what frees the masses from being slaves of the state, to free thinking entrepreneurs, who can succeed without big government getting in the way":).

    I have the proof, me.....I do very well in a free, capitalist society.:D You can do very well in Germany, USA, Canada.
    Not in Iran, Russia, China, N. Korea, Belarus.

    Good example of a fool, who hoards all his billions. I would use the $$$$ to get a complete collection of Roman aurei, every type in MS or EF+ quality, then every Dukaten type upto 100 Dukaten. This would be my next one.....upcoming auction. c9a51a2fd860416fcaecb5002360fb04.jpg

    I can't believe it, but it seems like that "war on Christianity" the right always whines about is finally happening.

    I gotta admit "Pope Leo is weak on crime" is an objectively funny thing to say.

    Whines about? I been accused of many things. Never accused of whining. You can save that for the man-bun wearers.

    I've never known a more whiny self- victimizing group than the modern right. Years of "War on Christmas!" And when you look it's just the Starbucks cups don't say the words that make them feel special. Like, get a real problem.

    Then, the sitting President openly attacks Christian leaders.... silence.

    "Attacks Christian leaders..."? Nah, not an attack, just a valid observation.

    As far as "whiny self-victimizing", have you looked at the Left? Probably not. Take off your blinders, man!

    Back in Germany all Holidays have a religious theme, and Germans never argue about that. So why can't NA do same. There is no shame in wishing someone Happy Easter, Lent, Christmas, St Nicholas:) And the Right/ Center and Left celebrate these special days. :D
