The far right and the far left are one and the same. And they squeeze the more normal people out of the narative.

I am a centrist and find it easy to pick what I like from either side.

Unfortunately there seems to be far too many on the left or right that want to point a finger..



Here is my centrist take. I want Trump to send tons of troops to both Houston and Chicago both are crime filled hell holes.

One is eft and one is right.

Let's then see which one turns around first.


This is compromise at its best yet no one talks about it.

They either point at the left or the,right.

The only reason I didn't give your post more merit was that I don't agree with using the military against civilians (including criminals). That is what police are for. Military force should only be used to keep the police (also including criminals) in line.

Other than that, I fully agree. Fuck that left-wing/right-wing bullshit.

I understand and misinterpreted your comment as only pertaining to this incident. I have no argument against there being hate spewed from both sides.

Though, I will somewhat agree with OgNasty due to personal experiences living in both very blue and very red states. In the conservative areas, I have heard a lot of disgust with the more liberal lifestyles, especially pertaining to what goes on in schools curriculum now a days (i.e. the essentially pornographic materials in books/curriculums, trannies brought into schools for whatever reason, "sex ed" teaching gay/trans ideology, etc). They basically say if that's what you want to do, do it somewhere else. We don't want that here.

In the overwhelmingly liberal city I lived in, there was, essentially, this inherent hate for the conservatives and their lifestyle. I would try and probe them, wanting to understand where this vitriol, this anger spawned from, but there was never a rationale given. It was like arguing with a woman when she "feels" a certain way, and thus justifies her completely illogical thinking (I'm assuming any guy reading this with a gf/wife can relate, haha). They had this mindset that "right is bad, we need to destroy it so everyone can be happy" (no, the hypocrisy of this type of statement is not lost on me). Why? Just because. Or, "they want to destroy us, we have to destroy them first"... how do you know they want to destroy you? "It is obvious, they just do!"

Yes, some more extreme conservatives would say similar things, I don't deny that. The glaring difference between the two is the amount of people with that mindset in each group. It was as though there was an inverse correlation between the two; A small minority of the right vs the vast majority of the left.

Even now I still don't understand why they feel that way, it is quite interesting from a psychological perspective.



What I am more nervous (for lack of a better word) about is escalation from both sides due to this incident. The, divide and conquer the masses so no one focuses on gov anymore, being pushed so hard that it leads to the detriment of us all in the US. It makes me think of this poem (is it a poem?) and where we will be if/after this happens:

Why Houston and Chicago? Have you ever been in the last 20 years or so?

Houston does have crime, but the city mostly consists of several enclaves-some with abject poverty, and some very prosperous.
I recently was on a charity road trip in some of the poorest neighborhoods and there the populace looks desperate.
In other Houston areas, like Bellaire, West University, River Oaks, etc, there are many blocks of multi million $$ mansions and high retail.
Houston is a "tale" of multiple cities under one moniker, so generalizations like this are mostly not accurate.

For the overall per capita statistics of crime in US, visit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Then, play with arrows for Total crime per capita or some other parameter.

When i did this, the table shows the highest crime per capita in US in (from higher to lower among highest ten): Memphis (TN), Oakland (CA), Detroit (MI), Little Rock (AR), Baltimore (MD), Cleveland (OH), Kansas City (MO), Milwaukee (WI), St. Louis (MO), Dayton (OH).

Chicago is actually 109 out of 200, so somewhere in the middle, Houston is lower, but not bottom 10.
If you only count murders, then Chicago is in 21st place (from the bottom), Houston is less (higher/better on the list).
The same cities that are high in the total crime rates are prominent in this list as well.

everyone will relate to this since we all have different dogma.

When i woke up after a short nap today, i realized that green weekend candle was only a dream  Angry
I hope Stiffler didn't leave us, though.
If the weekend doesn't show up with green candles, a new bright morning can attract the goddess of the bull.

The weekend should take the bear while the new week should renew the bull trend...everyone is curious to see the bull around the green grasses.

It is hard to find a 2,000,000 population "right" city to match a 2,000,000  "left" city that Trump managed to pick.

Since Houston is more right then left worse crime than Chicago and  both are near 2,000,000 I picked  it. So it was not random.



BTW most cities over 1,000,000 lean left in the USA

Houston is Harris county...you are probably thinking about Texas as a whole, which is, of course, right leaning.

There is a distinct commonality in all those cities. There is a big Black/African American population in Houston as well as Memphis...and Chicago...and all the other crime-infested cities mentioned.

As for Tennessee, Memphis (right on the border with Mississippi) grew from the cotton trade and slave labor back in the 1700s and 1800s. Central and Eastern Tennessee with Knoxville and Nashville actually disown Memphis. Tennessee is like three states in one  - Memphis to the far west, Nashville in central and Knoxville in the mountains in the east. Nashville and Knoxville are conservative - unlike Memphis which is crawling with low-life, left-wing, antifa liberals.

This post is why america is doomed.


The far right and the far left are one and the same. And they squeeze the more normal people out of the narative.

I am a centrist and find it easy to pick what I like from either side.

Unfortunately there seems to be far too many on the left or right that want to point a finger..



Here is my centrist take. I want Trump to send tons of troops to both Houston and Chicago both are crime filled hell holes.

One is eft and one is right.

Let's then see which one turns around first.


This is compromise at its best yet no one talks about it.

They either point at the left or the,right.

You just mentioning random s-t, @phil
Why Houston and Chicago? Have you ever been in the last 20 years or so?

Houston does have crime, but the city mostly consists of several enclaves-some with abject poverty, and some very prosperous.
I recently was on a charity road trip in some of the poorest neighborhoods and there the populace looks desperate.
In other Houston areas, like Bellaire, West University, River Oaks, etc, there are many blocks of multi million $$ mansions and high retail.
Houston is a "tale" of multiple cities under one moniker, so generalizations like this are mostly not accurate.

For the overall per capita statistics of crime in US, visit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Then, play with arrows for Total crime per capita or some other parameter.

When i did this, the table shows the highest crime per capita in US in (from higher to lower among highest ten): Memphis (TN), Oakland (CA), Detroit (MI), Little Rock (AR), Baltimore (MD), Cleveland (OH), Kansas City (MO), Milwaukee (WI), St. Louis (MO), Dayton (OH).

Chicago is actually 109 out of 200, so somewhere in the middle, Houston is lower, but not bottom 10.
If you only count murders, then Chicago is in 21st place (from the bottom), Houston is less (higher/better on the list).
The same cities that are in total crime rates are prominent in this list as well.

It is hard to find a 2,000,000 population "right" city to match a 2,000,000  "left" city that Trump managed to pick.

Since Houston is more right then left worse crime than Chicago and  both are near 2,000,000 I picked  it. So it was not random.



BTW most cities over 1,000,000 lean left in the USA

Wrong again: Houston voted for Kamala (51.62%/46.51%), lol
Houston is Harris county...you are probably thinking about Texas as a whole, which is, of course, right leaning.

https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/2024/11/05/504645/election-results-2024-harris-county-and-texas-general-election/


Okay I found a right wing large city.

Miami pop is 500,000

Chicago pop is 2,700,000

Miami was solid Trump
Chicago was solid Harris.


So when Trump said he wants to do Chicago democrats should ask him to do Miami. 555 violent crimes per 100,000

BTW I think Trump now wants to do Memphis  it is around 600,000.  2500 violent crimes per 100,000


USA is 359 violent crimes per 100,000


Memphis is clearly better at doing more violent crime but Miami still suck compared to the USA and or Flo rida

The murder of Charlie Kirk has been arrested, a 22 years old boy.

It looks like he has no online presence, a typical plot!

I found this interesting

Quote

•Robinson's father then convinced him to speak with his youth minister, who was also a U.S. Marshal Service fugitive task force officer.

The minister contacted the Washington County Sheriff's Office, which led to Robinson's arrest in St. George, Utah, on Thursday evening.

I am glad he was arrested as soon as possible before the police will go after other people looking like suspect.

This was a political influenced assassination and the culprit would have been brainwashed and promised to get a huge  paycheck.

He need to be investigated thoroughly so he doesn't coverup the initiator of the assassination so everyone involved can be brought to book.

FBI and police are quiet sure accused assassin Tyler Robinson, aged 22 of Utah, acted alone - yet he was clearly influenced by his opposition to conservative views.

It has now been learned the suspect's partner is a transgender that is transitioning from a male to a female and is cooperating with authorities - with the transgender lover saying the suspect admitted to shooting Charlie Kirk.  

Now we know the motive and main reason he hated Charlie Kirk enough to kill him - because his lover partner, Lance Twiggs, was a trans, and Kirk was opposed to transgenders  changing their sex. The suspect may have also had other liberal, left-wing, ideology views about politics, religion, socialism, communism, anarchism, etc.

https://i.ibb.co/bgZBYDM8/Screenshot-2025-09-13-200003.png

The suspect was infatuated by the far left in recent years, according to the authorities saying; “It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.'

 Dear 'Buddy',

You Made Me Remember,
some old sadly hystories.
some sundays are glory,
other sundays are  blood....
some trails on the forests,
are now foolly big Roads...
Shine of the morning,
Stars at the nigth
to Up on the dark.
to down at the Lights,
that lightning the clouds.
