@#135

OK, listening to this tune, here are the lyrics I hear. Please note that I do not say these are correct, but I tried ...

...
Let go.
Let go.
Let go, let go, let go.

Let go.
Let go.
Let go, let go, let go.

Let go of the fact you're drove by fear.
[...] many years
A fear of life
And a fear of death
A fear of what's right and what is best

Politicians religion and bombs
Got us running back to our momma's arms

Never gonna get just what [...]
Til we let go of these miseries.

Let go.
Let go.
Let go, let go, let go.
...

Yeah, I'd prefer a better excerpt of the lyrics, but there they are.

And, fwiw, from what I have heard, the New Johnny 5 band was formed in the CT town of Groton, where the US makes submarines.

@#132 ... Again...not taking the bait. ...

What "bait" was that?

Or is it more just that your current alias does not want to answer a simple question?

@#4

Uh-huh.

Go with that.

What else yer current trolling alias got?

@#128 ... Transgenders....it's a different story...should we start with a list? ...

Please, do.

With links.

thx.

@#121 ... After homosexuals won marriage equality, conservatives needed a new wedge issue. ...

OK, less of an analysis, and more enjoyment :) ...

The linked tune in the summary, performed by Roger McGuinn

@#112

And, if I may ask, why the apparent lumping of transgender people with gay people in your current alias' comments?

Why not say that transgender (and gay people) have the same rights as everyone else?

@#112 ... Transgenders have all the same rights as gays ...

Your current alias keeps on saying that.

But do they?

@#4 ... What kind of idiot would live there? ...

@#3 ... GOP Congress and Trump SCOTUS will see to that. ...

Yup.

The GOP has lost its backbone.

imo, Cowards, all of 'em.

Hopefully, their constituents will hold their feet to the fire.

If not, imo, we, as a Country, are screwed.

@#2

Yeah, it is frightening that the great force of the US Military now seems to be subject to someone who has enjoyed a beer or two or three or four or ....

@#2

Got a link?

thx.

@#96 ... Transgenders already have everything gays have.

My point is they're wanting more. ...

I disagree.

But for the purpose of this comment, let's start here ...

I ask ...

What do gays "have" in the mind of your current alias?

And, then please explain how transgenders "have" those same things.

thx.

And i do note ...

Usually the BJ current alias would post a reply to my comments.

But lately it seems to avoid doing so.

Maybe my JeffJ thing might have been on to something?

@#96 ... Throughout history, men have cross-dressed and lived as women. But no one, including the societies that tolerated it, ...

Then why might the Kiss band be one of the most popular groups of all time?

More from the cited OpEd ...

... California is the most successful state in the nation, and as our governor rightly reminds our detractors, we are the world's fourth-largest economy, with over $4 trillion in GDP.

But maintaining our success requires a relentless focus on the facts in the real world, not a blind leap into meme land. ...

@#18 ... Xi would love to embarrass Lewzer with a real military parade after that embarrassing birthday party thing he threw for himself. ...

OK, I admit, I had forgotten about that comparison.

But, yeah.

Spot on.

@#12 ... MAGATS hate the Constitution ...

The actions of Pres trump and his MAGA supporters seem to confirm that assessment.

I wish my view were different, but, there it is.

@#56

Yeah, the #56 comment seems to be the first to try to divert this discussion.

Maybe, the usual JeffJ disruption?

Wish I knew.

@#16

If the invite has not yet been received, it may be too late to arrange for the security needs.

But, it would not surprise me if Pres trump attended a ceremony honoring those autocrats who have been fighting against Ukraine's sovereignty.

More from the article ...

... Seven U.S. warships, along with one nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, are either in the region or are expected to be there soon, bringing along more than 4,500 sailors and marines.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said combating drug cartels is a central goal for his administration and U.S. officials have told Reuters that the military efforts aim to address threats from those cartels.

Stephen Miller, deputy White House chief of staff, said on Friday the military buildup was aimed to "combat and dismantle drug trafficking organizations, criminal cartels and these foreign terrorist organizations in our hemisphere."

But it is unclear exactly how the U.S. military presence would disrupt the drug trade.
Among other things, most of the seaborne drug trade travels to the United States via the Pacific, not the Atlantic, where the U.S. forces are, and much of what arrives via the Caribbean comes on clandestine flights.

Venezuelan officials believe their government might be the real target. ...

@#84

You noticed that also?

@#81 ... Some demtard report blamed Trump? ...

Curious that your current alias' first comment was about Pres Trump being blamed.

Especially when all that was mentioned in #80 were prices, with no mention of Pres Trump.

But that does raise an interesting question.

Apparently your current alias' comment acknowledges that prices have been increasing, but it has a concern that those rising prices may be attributed to Pres Trump.

That leads me to ask, why does your current alias seem to hold the opinion that current increasing grocery prices should not be attributed to Pres Trump?

Especially after he said he would lower grocery prices on Day One?

Yer up.
