Just waiting until I can get my full Social Security retirement next spring or summer. I may have to work longer because my wife needs some expensive dental work and we need a new roof. I'll be 67 next July, and retirement age was 65 until Reagan, and then Biden's bullshitters upped it yet again for me.

BUT, thanks to a flooded basement and insurance money, we have a new family entertainment center, a luxury we've never had before.

Other than that, I'm trying to navigate through all of today's horrors by a combination of the Way of the Warrior and the Way of the Laughing Buddha.

Glad to hear you’re getting close to retirement. I was able to retire beginning of last year. Very happy to no longer be at Boeing especially with all the problems they’ve been having. Spend most of my social media time on X & Rumble. The censorship is getting really bad. So sick of genocide.

I was on X for a few months, but I said something Adam Schiff's people didn't like and I was banned, under Musk BTW. I'm too stubborn to create a sock poppet, and my blood pressure has liked me better ever since.

I stick to Substack because there's no outright censorship here. I have some issues with their algorithms, but who doesn't?

Really need to migrate over to Substack more. Life has been full for me & don’t have the urge to write.

Not a Rumble user but I may reconsider now. Thanks for the link - and continuing to prove how vital this network is. Take care of yourself.

Rumble is THE uncensored video site.

Yes, and so is Bitchute, but you'll have to rummage through more fringe videos. Hey, it's a free country, at least on those two sites.

As Mr. Raven said, Rumble is the place for uncensored video. This one wasn't on YouTube, and if you watched it it's easy to see why. YouTube's Google, and they are all in for the Democrats.

They’re all in for the establishment’s Janus god, whichever face it shows.

Loved the video, OB, saving that one.

Matt Taibbi rocked it, did you see that one.

I caught this. I found out afterwards that even though there were some excellent presenters like Dubular and Taibbi, that they had a poor attendance and marketing of the events.

Yah, it's hard to market when all the marketers don't like your product. Russ looked a little frustrated; it might have been over the attendance. I know some groups boycotted it because they didn't agree with everything some other groups believed in, and Russ looked like he addressed that at one point.

Mao Zedong, when questioned by his comrades about the participation of non and anti socialists in his liberation movement, famously said "comrades do not fret, we will keep on achieving one aim at a time, and by the end of it EVERYONE will become a socialist"

(not his exact quote, but along these lines; where socialist enter desired denomination, though personally I wouldn't mind a socialist orientation)

I think about it often, Mao knew

I'm not a Maoist, but Mao was nobody's fool. My favorite Mao quote has always been "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

This was a BRILLIANT rant! Superb. And AMEN to every phrase! Thanks for sharing this. Wish I had been able to attend in DC. Not that I'm too old, but at 73, I'm conserving energy and cash: ready to take to the streets like back in the day. Don't understand what we're waiting for. Maybe when they reinstate the draft more people will be activated. 🤞🏼✊🏼
