^^Are U2, Ben Stiller, Nancy Pelosi, and Mitch McConnell okay?

American kids eating Christmas Dinner in the 1930's Great Depression

My mom always said I was a pleasant surprise not an accident.

Thus, my parents had me very late in life.

They are depression era kids.

At one point all my grandparents had left to eat in the house was an apple.

They cut it in half giving half to my mom and half to her brother for their school lunch.

Mom said grand-dad luckily found a job that day.

18 hours hard labor.

His pay was two sacks of groceries to feed the family.


Let's hope Obiden/WEC/UN/Deep State does not take us into another Great Depression.

As my mom said there would be lots of blood in the streets because my generation & those after me have never had to do without.

Unfortunately she's right.


BTW The term "Dirt Poor" comes from what you see in the photo - too poor to have flooring. Thus, your floors were dirt.

PS So blessed to have a dad that worked his ass off that I never had to experience poverty.

Unfortunately today's people don't know how to fend for themselves. They will simply break into people's homes or loot stores and many will get shot or homeowner's will get shot and looted. Civility has gone out the window and most of it is due to Soros type libs refusing to enforce the laws. I pity the people in gun control states as they will be defenseless against those who ignore the law and have guns. I blame those same people for electing those who impose those laws.

I was a child of the 1960’s growing up in rural West
Virginia. I never thought of us being poor, but I do remember taking peanut butter and crackers to school as lunch, cornbread a few times...when we didn’t have any white bread. Most of our food came from my grandfather’s farm. Lots of canning in the summer time. I can still remember the “smokehouse” as they called it. We raised, cattle, hogs, and chickens. We really didn’t know we were poor.

This story hits home for me.
When my kids were very young. The wife now deceased and I had 4 children. And one year work got very tight for me, I was working as a tradesman then.
I had been out of work a couple of weeks, the bank account was just about gone the cupboards getting very bare.
My wife never pressured me very, very seldom as I took my responsibilities to her and my kids very serious.
Finally she said, I don't know what I am going to do, we are almost out of everything.
I had been making the rounds faithfully looking for anything.
Two days later I got up in the morning and told her. I can't find no work, I am going to head down to welfare and see about even a food hamper.
I had never had a handout, or welfare or unemployment even.
I got down there, and walked in and told my story.
The nice Lady gave me a clipboard and a pencil and said here fill this out and then you can see someone.
So I went and sat down. And wrote my name then the date.
I bowed my head and said Lord I need a little help here.
I reached down and found a little more faith.
I took the form and rolled it in a ball and threw it in the trash can and gave the Lady back the clipboard and pencil and thanked her.
She got a little upset and said you can't do that, I said well I just did Ma'am and everything will be good.
That night after supper I got a call from a guy who need someone on a roofing job for a super market, and asked if I could show up in the morning.
I showed up and busted my ass for 14 hrs straight in the sun, the 2nd day I had to humble myself and ask for an advance we had no milk or bread left.
That job lasted almost 10 days, and then it was just one job after another.
And believe me I never forgot my Family Prayers ever day very seldom from that day.
You can go to church and you can talk and say you are this or that, but the day always comes were you have to bow your head and ask Him for help. And He is there, when things are bad and you need Him, he is there.

Putins New General in charge of all Russian Forces in Ukraine. The British are calling him mean....
We used to have Generals who took no prisoners. Now, they are interested in pronouns and purple hair.

Obama got rid of the Old War Dogs. There is an old saying that those that have been to war, try ever thing possible to never go to war again.
All these Neocons are always anxious for your kids or family to go fight, and they can go on CNN and tell big bullshit stories.
Real Warriors never want War, only as a last resort.

As a society, I would really love to see us get past holding people accountable 30 years later for the cringeworthy things we all did in high school. I did some pretty cringeworthy things myself.

Never auctioned off any classmates though, so there is that.
Yeah I can get behind this...things I did/said 25 years ago, and paid the consequences for, should not be held against me now...I agree 100 percent with you on this

Biden's response to Zelensky regarding Putins bombing of Ukraine.
Escalation no negotiation or talks. Fucker is insane. More Bigger and longer range Missiles for Zelensky. Biden thinks he is dealing with some goat herders. Russia has more nukes than the USA FFS. What a fucking retard.

I thought muh, Russia, was losing the war? I bet the mainstream media screams 'the last gasps of a dying empire!". Personally I think the cat is sick of playing with it's food. JMHO SKOL!
By every measure we have, Russia is losing this war at the current time. Of course that could change, but I'm not seeing anything that tells me that is changing.

I agree. I see this and think it's just silly that anyone is trying to make a big deal out of this. But you can be assured that if this was a Republican we were talking about, it would be national news, and every Republican candidate at every level of government would have to make public statements against this. The Left made these rules, so make them live by them.
