They don't actually want anything except to feel aggrieved.

Climate Change has taught me that nothing matters. Paraphrasing:

If it wasn't for FDotM and Pope I'd probably take a break from this thread. I keep waiting for the others to do something different and it's not happening.

Those Norwegian cartoons are pretty interesting too.

Plural. There's a lot of different First Nations out there.

I think Canada is moving away from the use of First Nations to Indigenous. My uncles referred to themselves as Indian, but whatever.

It doesn't only exist in their heads. Back in the early 60s you could get away with dropping the N-bomb, and that's what they really want anyway.

It�s popular when you break it down for them, kind of like the ACA, but if you call it like the Biden Covid Bill (like what happens if the ACA is called Obamacare) it would tank with these same people cause they�re full to the brim from Tucker Carlson�s making GBS threads into their gaping mouths to think beyond �Democrat bad�

Also the idea that "privacy" and "celebrity" are mutually exclusive is something the tabloids invented to justify taking upskirt shots of actresses as they get out of cars.

"American Indian" is the mostly preferred nomenclature these days, isn't it?

The preferred term in the U.S. usually seems to be Native American or Indigenous people more than American Indian, but it honestly seems to depend on the tribe, region, or even individual tribal member. I know a lot of Native Americans that hate "Indian" as a term, but others are fine with it. Some tribes even have it in the official name for their tribal nation, like the Narragansett Indian Tribe in Rhode Island.

KNOCK KNOCK, NOBODY�S HOME!

Sleepy Joe Biden said he would only serve one term, but will he make it that far? Judging his recent behavior as an example, I think it�s unlikely. Joe�s last press conference was a disaster. He has low energy. He�s easily confused. When he speaks, his age shows. He mumbles and dithers as he tries to summon up facts from a worn out rolodex that is his mind. He couldn�t even recall the name of his Defense Secretary.

The Biden regime was installed because the ruling caste knew he could easily be manipulated. Biden is thoroughly corrupt and will do as he�s instructed. Those pulling his strings don�t care if we know they stole the election and installed Joe. They don�t care if we know he�s a man whose mental skills are in marked decline. A confused old man with outright dementia is now in nominal charge of our country and the nuclear button. As long as Joe rubber stamps the globalists�s game plan, he will continue to get a pass from their mainstream media.

Biden should retire and enjoy his family and the fruits of his ill-gotten games from years of corruption. Instead, we get to see his geriatric self embarrass himself and our country.

Biden is not my president. He is just �Resident� Biden.

RESIST!
