Maybe Churchill knew something you dont..By your own definitation they were”Migrants from the North”they didnt build S.Africa or they wouldent be MIGRANTS ..He apparently had problems with MIGRANTS and had an unpleasant solution that worked…..It remains to be seen how the Western world solves this problem …..I suspect a similar solution will be employed if the west wants to avoid self destruction by stupid liberal policies .Its a bad path to go down because there is NO pleasant way back ///falling into a shit hole is easy,getting out is hard.

churchill
When gold was discovered in South Africa, Churchhill was sent there to protect the Bristish interest in the colony; he was the first to introduce ‘holocaust” genocide by corralling and killing by starvation thousands of “migrant blacks’ from the north !!!!!! for that, he was knighted by the queen !!!

Preparing to say goodbye….Make My Day
Preparing to say goodbye… a message from Clint EastwoodMy Twilight Years at 84.If you realize each day is a gift, you may be near my age. As I enjoy my twilight years, I am often struck by the inevitability that the party must end.There will come a clear, cold morning when there isn’t any “more.”No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat.It seems to me that one of the important things to do before that morning comes, is to let everyone of your family and friends know that you care for them by finding simple ways to let them know your heartfelt beliefs and the guiding principles of your life so they can always say, “He was my friend, and I know where he stood.”
So, just in case I’m gone tomorrow, please know this: I voted against that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron that spent eight years-in the White House trying to destroy our wonderful country and turn it into Muslim loving, socialist crap hole like he came from and I don’t mean Hawaii!
Participating in a gun buy-back program because you think criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you think your neighbors have too many kids.Regards, Clint
Make My Day — Pass it on!

” To my surprise it looks like 2/3 of the island is not buildable upon. ”
That’s conservative…. I’d say more. The entire south half… the domain of Mauna Loa… is fresh lava of various grades. My eastern area has a thin veneer of jungle only because it gets a lot of water here on the windward side. But there is a reason the Mars Crew isolation habitat was built on the slopes of Mauna Loa.
Mauna Kea slopes on the noth half are older, rich soil and farming areas. Real estate is more expensive up there.
AFAIC they’re welcome to this can of worms
China Moves Into Afghanistan As Part Of Its Global Expansion Mission
Authored by Retired Colonel Lawrence Sellin, op-ed via The Daily Caller,
For many, it was a stunning development. China will build a brigade-size military training facility in the strategic Wakhan Corridor, the land bridge between Tajikistan and Pakistan, which is located in Afghanistan’s northeast Badakhshan province and borders China.
Although Beijing denied the claim that hundreds of Chinese soldiers will be deployed to Afghanistan, a source close to the Chinese military stated, “Construction of the base has started, and China will send at least one battalion of troops, along with weapons and equipment, to be stationed there and provide training to their Afghan counterparts.”

Meanwhile , Back at Dick’s Sporting Goods
Sales are ‘way off since the Parkland School shooting , after which Dick’s CEO decided to stop selling guns . The CEO has dug in his heels and will not reverse his decision even though shareholders are up in arms ( pun intended ), due to the stock price being down . Even Under Armor stock is down , because they sell their clothing at Dick’s . Less traffic at Dick’s means fewer sales for them at that retailer .
I’ve heard that MasterCard and Visa have pulled back on their decision to censor free speech by refusing to process payments to Spencer ( Jihad Watch ) and others for engaging in what the SPLC calls hate speech . Does anyone here know if that is true about MC and Visa now reversing course and again processing payments to those sites ?
