As the rights of small nations are concerned, Marx and Engels were little better than most other consistent collectivists, and the views they occasionally expressed about Czechs or Poles resemble those of contemporary National Socialists.

Mainly why I switched to pipes. Most of my tobacco is less than $4/oz. And I don't have any storage issues, just sealed Mason jars. I never really cared for cigars because after about 1/2 a stick it starts tasting bad, but because they are so expensive I push through even when it gets bitter tasting. At least with my pipe it's only like $0.50 or less I'm tossing out. Though I do smoke usually 3/4 of a bowl.

As you can see, I also use a Kamisori, which is basically a straight razor that uses a 1/2 DE blade. I use it mostly around my lips it's much easier to get a good straight line. Occasionally I'll use the Kamisori on cheeks and neck, but it takes much longer than the DE razor.

Shaving, most people don't think about it, it's just one of those chores we all do, shaving our face daily for me being in the military I just wanted to be done with it. For many years I just shaved in the shower and it worked OK.
One day I went down the wet shaving rabbit hole, bought the Double edge razor, soaps, brushes etc than I found other razors that I wanted to try, recently got some vintage razors... Needless to say, the zen of my routine is much more enjoyable. It does take a little longer, but the mental health aspects of it are worth it.
An interesting idea to save money on shaving vs cartridges (DE blades are like $0.10 a piece) turned into a several hundred dollar adventure.

Bitcoin fixes this!
"Follow the yellow brick road" basically means follow the money, which I've been trying to tell you for years
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...
The wonderful wizard of oz.
"The Wizard of Oz = Ounces of Gold. The Yellow Brick Road = Bricks or Gold Ingot.
The Straw Man represents that fictional ALL CAPS legal fiction — PERSON. The Straw Man wanted a Brain but got a Certificate — the Birth Certificate for a new legal creation & he was proud of his new legal status, plus all these other legalisms he was granted.
The Tin Man — (TIN) Taxpayer Identification Number, a robotic avatar, who worked tirelessly until his body literally froze up & stopped functioning. The heartless & emotionless robot creature who worked himself to death because he had no heart or soul. He wanted a HEART.
The Cowardly Lion was a bully, but was a true coward when someone stood up to him. He lacks true courage. That was what he wanted — Courage. At the end, the Wizard gave him an Official Recognition Award — Authority & Status.
The Wizard of Oz — uses magic, smoke, flames & holograms, but all of it were tricks & illusions to push fear & compliance into doing what he commanded. — The TRUTH is the Wizard have NO real power & only uses illusions to create FALSE power & authority.
The Wicked Witch — pushed fear through intimidation. She was after Toto. She controlled the flying monkey police — the policy enforcers— the mischievous demons, which also represents the BAR Association attorneys who attack & control all the little people for the Great Crown Wizard, the crooked Bankers of Oz - Gold.
In the field of poppies, they were not REAL humans, so drugs had no effect on them, but Dorothy was drugged. The Wizard of Oz was written at the time when the Rockefeller & pharmaceutical begin to take over the medicine & education — the DRUGGING of America. The Crown was the largest drug dealers & after their take-over of drug distribution in China, they began to expand all around the world.
Toto the Dog — was what the Wicked Witch was after. Toto in Latin means ‘in total, all TOGETHER’. Toto was the One who exposed the Wizard of Oz. Toto had no fear & was very small compared to the Great Wizard so no one noticed him. Toto pulled the curtain on the Wizard & his magical scams. ‘Curtain’ also means the End of an Act or scene — The End. He pulled the curtain & started barking until others paid attention & Red Pill the others.
The curtain ‘VEIL’ that hides the corporate legal fiction & its false courts is exposed. The jig is up. No matter how small your bark is — it can be heard.
THE REAL MEANING OF THE WIZARD OF OZ"

Groundbreaking New Study Finds Islamophobia May Be Partially Caused By Muslims Killing People All The Time
The team concluded that if Muslims were to stop killing people all the time, the general populace may be far more inclined to be less afraid of them.
"The results were clear," Glarkenbargen said. "Out of all the people we surveyed, 100% of them said that they were worried about Muslim migrants because they were afraid of being shot or stabbed or set on fire or blown up. They also said that if Muslims weren't killing people all the time, there wouldn't be as much islamophobia."

You have to realize that El Paso is home to the Air Defense Artillery school and is very close to White Sands Missile Range. 10 days is the average length of an ARMY FTX (Field exercise)... So it would be no surprise that this could happen. Would hate for some private learning a new piece of gear to accidentally shoot down a commercial aircraft.
FAA halts all flights at El Paso International Airport for 10 days for 'special security reasons': All flights to and from El Paso are grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation. (FOX) (AC-Other sources are saying a GPS jamming exercise is occurring, while speculation hints at potential military actions. It is certainly unprecedented and OPSEC is tight.)

More gun control... Yeah, it will work this time.
Mass Shooting in British Columbia, Canada: At least nine people were killed and 25 injured in shootings at a high school and a nearby home in the remote town of Tumbler Ridge, with the suspect found dead at the scene. Police described the incident as one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history, prompting national shock and calls for stricter gun control measures.

Funny, someone's job is psychological operations and they are being psychologically manipulated... Good stuff

Seeking a new redesign and a new name I believe that most Ivans after living through actual communism are probably way less communist/Marxist than most Karens or Ricks from blue cities...
Needs blue, orange and pink hair. Needs a mask and add a bull horn, possibly a cell phone in one hand...
Ivan targets are standardized 3D plastic training targets used by the U.S. Army and other military branches for live-fire exercises and qualification courses. These targets, often referred to as "Ivan" due to Cold War-era symbolism, are designed to resemble a Soviet soldier and are used to simulate enemy combatants.

Making home ownership a priority is one of the most based freedom techs in a fiat world. Locking in your housing payment for 30 years while the purchasing power of your dollar continues to erode is key. Hard to believe but my 2500 sq/Ft house plus 30 acres has a smaller payment than many renters in apartments.
And I've only been in this place since 2017. The long term Wealth being secured over the years will be huge.
Congratulations UTXO!

Wolverines!
Red Dawn shocked America by turning high school kids into guerrilla fighters, and the Wolverines became a symbol nobody expected to take seriously.
When Red Dawn hit theaters in 1984, audiences thought they were getting a loud Cold War fantasy. Soviet paratroopers. Small town America under siege. Teenagers with hunting rifles yelling a single word before battle. Wolverines. It sounded absurd on paper.
Then the movie started.
The Wolverines were not superheroes. They were scared, grieving, undertrained kids hiding in the woods, stealing food, burying friends. Patrick Swayze’s Jed Eckert did not inspire with speeches. He hardened because someone had to. The film lingered on hunger, exhaustion, and the cost of survival longer than anyone expected.
What happened next surprised everyone.
Teen audiences cheered. Adults argued. Critics panicked. Red Dawn became the first movie ever released with a PG 13 rating, created largely because no one knew how to classify violence performed by children. The Wolverines were too young to dismiss, too serious to laugh off.
Behind the scenes, the film was made with unusual sincerity. The cast trained together, camped, learned weapons handling, and built real camaraderie. That authenticity bled onto the screen. The Wolverines felt like a unit because they had become one.
The cultural reaction was explosive. Some saw propaganda. Others saw nightmare fuel. For kids growing up during nuclear drills and Cold War headlines, the fantasy felt uncomfortably close to plausible. The idea that safety could evaporate overnight hit hard.
Over time, the Wolverines stopped being just characters. They became shorthand. Resistance. Defiance. Small people refusing erasure. The red bandana became an icon. The final plaque honoring the Wolverines turned fictional sacrifice into myth.
Rewatching the film now, the tone feels stranger than nostalgia suggests. The movie does not celebrate war. It mourns it. Every victory costs something permanent. By the end, survival itself feels like loss.
That is why the Wolverines endured.
They were not cool. They were cornered.
And in an era obsessed with power fantasies, Red Dawn offered something darker and more honest. Courage born not from confidence, but from the refusal to disappear.
The Wolverines were never meant to win.
They were meant to be remembered.

All that time at the firing range and they calling the green target Ivan... Have to rename it to something 21st century, since most Ivans are probably less communist /marxist these days than Karen or Rick from blue states.
