Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area

This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.

Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Rules for General Chat

  • Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.

  • Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.

  • Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome

  • Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment

  • Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.

  • Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)

  • If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.

  • Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Excerpts from the Epoch Times.

“Only a few small countries claim to have republics older than that of the United States.” “… San Marino, a European microstate that claims to be the oldest republic, founded in A.D. 301 and Switzerland, … 1291.”

There are some that think we are long in the tooth of history. The European and democrat elites think that democracy is just a flash in the pan fad. That we will return to the time honored feudal system.

But the US is being renewed and will be even greater for the next 250 years.

I'm of an age (and health issues) that sleep is very important, so I couldn't stay up last night to listen to Trump's speech, expecting that there would be a good summary of it here this morning on GAW. Surprisingly, I don't see much about it.

Does anyone have a good summation or bullet points that the boss covered last night? Thanks in advance to anyone posting on this.

Critics of President Trump insist that his administration has bungled its response to the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. They blame his dismantling of the US Agency for International Development. But those critics are wrong.

. . . As the federal lead for global disaster response, I oversaw aid for earthquakes, hurricanes, Ebola outbreaks, the Beirut port explosion and massive war-related migrations. I know what competent emergency response looks like. It looks like what the United States is doing in Venezuela.

. . . A robust 300-person team arrived almost immediately in Venezuela, along with a commitment of $300 million in aid. That sum is huge. It’s in line with President Trump’s “full commitment to being supportive of Venezuela.”

. . . As the Department of State tweeted: “The United States’ response … is big, fast, effective, and ongoing."

Most impressive is how President Trump is using foreign aid as an effective tool of national security. Whereas the Biden administration used USAID to impose radical social ideas — funding drag shows in Ecuador and condoms for the Taliban — the Trump approach is to ensure that foreign aid is always aligned with American interests and values.

Consider: Had President Trump not disposed of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in January, our response to the earthquakes would have been seriously curtailed. Maduro’s deposition allowed America to restore billions of dollars in domestic oil revenues in the leadup to these quakes, easing the country’s economic crisis.

And now that the country is free of its anti-American tyrant, our Defense Department is able to create a secure global humanitarian construct that makes full use of our military and logistical technology — especially C-130s and Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters that can swiftly airlift personnel, medicine, food and water to desperate communities. US military assets would never have been permitted to enter the Maduro regime’s borders.

Venezuela’s allies under the old regime — Communist China, Russia, and Iran — do not do humanitarian aid. They would have left the Venezuelan people behind.

The potential for even greater disaster — hunger, social unrest, disease — has been stemmed. Innumerable lives have been saved, and Venezuela’s neighbors will be free of destabilizing mass migration. In retrospect, President Trump’s removal of Maduro betrays a providential hand.

The administration’s plans for Venezuela’s complete transition to democratic self-governance will now have to be expedited. Remnants of Maduro’s corrupt regime still exist. They’re proving themselves incapable of adequately responding to the tasks of rescue and reconstruction. Venezuelans are discovering how many corrupt officials over the years took bribes and issued construction permits for buildings that were not earthquake resistant.

On the 4th, my heart was heavy. I was stuck abroad, and im still busy planning the funeral of my father, who passed last Thanksgiving. I wanted this done sooner, but it seems God has decided I needed further testing with floods alongside other forms of loss.

My dad was a vet of Vietnam. Dust off crew. Liked Trump as a presidential candidate before anyone else did. We didn't see eye to eye on everything, but he was there when I needed him most, and loved me unconditionally all my life.

He was a good man. Okay sure he was stubborn to a fault, and a brick was a better communicator, but he did right by me. His house is full of memories, now mostly bittersweet. Still, many still make me smile, especially knowing he had so many fond photos of being with me.

Yesterday reminded me of him heavily. The 4th was one of his favourite holidays, a close second to Christmas I would say. He'd go all out, spending thousands on fireworks every year, and for years when he was a more well man, he headed up to his sister's place up in the pacific northwest to fire them all off on the beach. I was able to see the show he put on one year, and it was the longest fireworks display I ever got to enjoy. It was breathtaking. I wish that I got more times like that with him, but covid took that all away.

My heart breaks to know that I won't be able to enjoy such a beautiful day with him ever again. He would have enjoyed this 250th birthday of America and sent it in with a bang visible from Canada. I miss him terribly, and would have loved just one more day with him around.

So please, raise a glass to my dear departed dad, and have a drink in rememberance all of those who have fallen, both in and out of battle to fight for this country and what it stand for. I love you, Dad, and I hope you could see from on high the amazing show the nation put on this year.

Just venting. I’m on a flight to Vegas and literally every single person on this flight is a foreigner. All I hear is Spanish or Indian around me. Makes me sick to my stomach. We need to ramp up deportations !

Song Playlist with included train of thought:

Chicago 25 or 6 2 to 4...city Reference is very direct...lyrics may refer to early morning timing.

Journey Don't stop Believing...city being sent a message San Francisco

Bon Jovi Half Way There...NY/Jersey Timing reference 1/2 way to where?

YMCA Village People....(to where) I always think of GITMO for this song.

Let's Go Crazy Prince....Prince is from Minneapolis (Military Band singing this having fun with the idea to be sure) But let's go crazy...when?

Earth Wind n Fire (is When) September and who will bring it to you...

The men of: Brought to You by the Red White and Blue Toby Keith

Signed Seal Delivered I'm Yours Stevie Wonder By Whom? our President.

to whom is the message going to...I thought it odd that I found the following research about Caroline...

"Caroline" is a classic feminine given name of French origin, typically meaning "free man" or "strong". It first gained popularity in the 1600s in honor of British monarchs like King Charles I and II. Today, it is also a well-known name associated with several pop culture icons and media titles.

Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond seemed out of place till I found the above.

Party in the USA Miley Cyrus City reference first line LAX Los Angeles

Party suggests happiness...Watch California I expect...

Sometimes the cigar IS just a cigar and I maybe putting in too much effort and thought into it and I should just go to bed but I had to flesh this thought out before I did...hate to lose the idea to the wind if it holds any wait with others...Cool...so Happy 4th what a Day...and night night.

Hope I made sense.
