I am son to a mother, brother to four sisters, father of a daughter. Our father did the unspeakable, two of my sisters not unlike me, felt a duty to service. One sister, served in the Army, spent three years in service 13 months at the Strip in Korea. Ferrying troops to e Navy, did eight years. Served on sub tenders, then skippered her own Tugs. Our family was blown apart by the actions of our father. I did violence to that man, never got over it. Cant imagine how my sisters cope, they both had the experience of multiple assailants. They both had the experience of knowing that their chain of command went through their assailants. I think that it is a time in our history where women are learning what you and Lynn innately knew. My Daughter followed me into construction, I talked to her at length about men, what they are capable of. How to deal with it. I am not upset by your comments, not in the least. I do think that men, who achieve a bit of power can inflict shame on women and men as well when they are heralded as the best, the most shining of their peer group. I think, fathers have failed their sons, that respect for women has , had, become... situational. Many take advantage of the least of us simply because they can. It is as you both point out, disgusting that so many men in Hollywood came forward to say that Weinstein was an abuser of women. What a bunch of sorry asses they were, they werent going to sacrifice coveted roles to stand up fo someone who couldnt stand up for themselves. This practice is prevalent in all walks of life. From a 7-11 clerk to movie stars to politicians, you name it. So what was taught to these motherless, sisterless pukes that would not just perpetrate, but stand silent while it happened. I agree with yo absolutely that women have to stand up for themselves, I believe fathers have to do a better job of being men. Just like racism, disregard for women is learned at home.

I agree!!

Oscar nominations are not out yet FYI

It's been proven time and time again that "liberals" are mentally ill. All those who protest are criminal deviants who believe that being a criminal deviant is just something we normals have to deal with. There was a time when these psychologically damaged people would perish in the elements or at the hands of somebody who wouldn't tolerate their shit. For the last fifty years deviants have risen to be a protected species who are actually BETTER than normal people. The world has gone mad and it only leads one place...the total devastation and annihilation of civilization. If Trump isn't enough to get the job done we'll need a Pinochet. Otherwise we'll have a Castro/Hugo Chavez type revolution and we all know where that ended up.

Goodnight fellow Patriots.

I hope tonight finds you all safe, warm, and well fed.

The Storm Pt 4: Q-Anon-All The World's a Stage-Trump's Purpose

Ok how do you undo a block? I went to like Waveoffs post and hit the block. They were too close together on my phone. Arghh! Help!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving! Bless you Shipleys!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DIANE AND LYN ! I STILL THINK YOUR BOTH HOT ! NOTHING LIKE A WOMAN WHO CAN HANDE HERSELF !!!

Wow! Diane and Lyn you said it and you're right on! I was shaking my head when one of Harvey Weinstein's "victims" was sexually abused when she willingly went to his apartment. While she was there she took a shower! Who does that? Whether she actually was sexually assaulted, or harassed, or not...who takes a shower at a man's apartment? That's just asking for something to happen. She willing put herself in that position.

Women are coming out of the woodwork claiming they were assaulted, harassed,or demeaned. I just read that Oliver Stone "demeaned" Melissa Gilbert. She was auditioning for the movie The Doors which had raunchy scenes it in. Oliver Stone wanted her to do an especially dirty scene which was demeaning and humiliating. What they heck? She had read the script. She knew there was a raunchy scene in it. Stone warned all the people who auditioned that the movie had dirty parts in it. Where do you draw the line between vulgar language and rape? I don't believe half these women. They're out for money accusing wealthy men hiring Gloria Alfred to represent them. She's a witch! No women have come forward to say the plumber, or the pool guy sexually harassed me. Hmm...why is that?

Dig in PH , sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, melted marshmallows on top.
