I ordered a pair of fringed “dancer boots” from Manitobah Mukluks this morning because well firstly I love fringes and secondly, they were on sale. When I scrolled down the page I read the following statement. I had a little chuckle because the boots are made in China there really is no information on how “indigenous” the staff are.

I wonder what the “celebrating Indigenous culture in a authentic meaningful way” will be when I am stompin around through Costco in them this winter - LOL. Good grief people are twatwaffles.

“Our rights come from our Creator, God; they do not come from the government,” Johnson explained, warming up. “The communist believes the opposite. They believe that government of the state is god, and that the state gives you all your rights. And you know what? The state can also take those rights away. And that’s exactly what happens. It’s inevitable in communism.”
All our beloved, muscular, anti-communist Cold Warriors from the last millennium have either retired or died off. The battle-worn GOP relaxed its battle against communism after the fall of the Soviet Union,...
