"..During a Q&A, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) proposes that the Palestinians leave Palestine for other countries. A man in the audience had mentioned that the Palestinians in Gaza are refugees from areas in what is now Israel, and responds, "You had my vote but you don't now.".."

If you were like me, who comes from a place survived 500 years of Islamic occupation, you’d understand.

Ah, so your POV comes from ancient hate.  Got it! 

Not unusual, I know a Scot who is murderously upset about things that happened 400 years ago.

Were you the one, who didn’t know where Bulgaria was? I found a video just for you. Bulgaria and Scotland are the only two counties , who have the bagpipe as their national instrument. There are some photos of Bulgaria and Bulgarian bagpipe.

I actually prefer the Bulgarian. It is not off tune like the Celtic. My Father was in The Black Watch. They woke them with bagpipes every morning or as my Father would say: Somebody stepped on the cats tail again.

There’s two kinds of television commercials that are in extremely bad taste and should be banned on ethical grounds….lawyers and drug companies.

The tensions are ongoing and the threats. What stops us from doing what Israeli and Palestinians are doing is that all of us are Nato members and currently allies. However, if a big war breaks out all bets are off. You have to be born into it to understand. As an outsider there are no good or bad guys for you. You just pick a side to support. For us, the good guys are our people. It’s just the way things are.

There is wolf spider living in the vicinity of my pot smoking window. I hope the cats don’t spot her.

My grandparents were not American. But I have zero ethnicity; none. I identify as Michigander. That’s it. My history begins the year I was born. That’s how long it takes white people to assimilate 100%.  To me, my grandparents were foreigners.

Cats like spiders. Lots of protein.

So, did you ever see that OG Start Trek episode about that? The one with the little whirligig that fed on hate?

The only people we can really identify with in that regard are Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders. It’s a higher evolutionary plateau; elite.
