the qataris do not do that kind of work that you mentioned Mr Davis. here is a very large immigrant population, without citizenship and without many rights, that does that kind of work. they treat them very badly and perhaps they just didn't really care if they were in the way. also they would not have mentioned them in their newscasts under the circumstances.
Our country is going wild. So sad. RIP Charlie. You never had a chance with that sniper shot. outrageous 💔

thirsty throws in all the agromech stuff related to his pumps and then he starts talking about taking care of to grab the carriage with the most garbage in it to throw it away and then you start talking about how we could change society if we'd all just pitch in. I pick up garbage bags of stuff. not Pat myself on the back but every time I pick something up I think boy if somebody else would do this too or maybe 10 other people we have a clean country, more orderly and clean. Good man. I relate.

There were demonstrations galore on college campuses in the 60s. Hello, Dr Hanson: enjoying your latest but had to say something about college protests; we grew up with them, remember? Weathermen, SDS, Symbionese Liberation Front, Black Panthers, and other groups were always raising Cain: taking over administrative buildings, burning flags, Sit-ins, marches, concerts, all against the Vietnam war. This is different. Don't recall random attacks on people or looting on this scale. Thanks. KBV
Professor, To be fair to this lady, I recall that the "may be white" came from the initial police report. However, she probably failed to confirm her story and rushed to get on the air first. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us

please please resd Geoff Shepards book the Nixon Conspiracy before making any statements about Water gate 150 attorneys went after Nixon Judge Shirca should have locked up. Nixon was talking about rich Texas democrats who didn't want it known they donated to him. My senator Sam Irwin was an absolute joke of Watergate. I was 13 or 14 at the time it scared me to death. I thought Russians were coming the fay after resignation. I haven't got chance to read second book of Geoff s . release rest
I had to look up who you refer to as Spartacus. Can't you just say the guy's name and stop with the drama? Corey Booker is no Spartacus, he's a leftist Communist pussy. Please be a little more specific in the future; I've been trying to figure out who Spartacus is for months; finally asked Gemini who did the 25 hour filibuster. Which you don't always mention. Great show, btw. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
Victor is so damn cute. He apologized for saying pissed in the dossier and changed it to urinated lol. Best analysis on a consistent basis on the Internet.

Good afternoon, Dr Hanson. I have to tell you I listen to you a lot because you have a soothing style even when delivering bad news. I generally agree with you, but I'm arguing with a lot of people over 14A and birthright citizenship. I'm not at all in favor of illegal immigration and I'd do birthright different if it was up to me. The issue with 14A is the word "jurisdiction"; our system makes a big deal of our jurisdiction. Out of space here; I'll get a membership and get back to you.
Good morning, Dr Hanson. Watching you talk about California infrastructure breaks my heart. We all know none of those Democrat politicians will take your tour of their failures; they do not care. As long as they draw a government paycheck, they will continue to ruin everything they touch because that's all they know how to do. I think there is a shadow mandate from the DNC to destroy the country; they are after Communism so they can stay in power unopposed. very good show today. Thank you.
Haven't had a chance to listen; I'm out to bury a puppy. You've buried dogs and we're the same age. Not sure there's many 18" x 30" x 36" holes in rocky calechi left in me, but I'll get this one done. Perhaps you could talk about this a little more; how many even bother buying a pet these days? As always, love your work.
Hello, Dr Hanson. I'm watching this video and loving it. I posted it on Facebook because I'm getting so much flack I needed an unimpeachable source to show I know what's going on; you're the man! I'm not much of a bucket list guy, but if I were, meeting you would be on it. just saying. You make me regret that I passed up a classical education to be a guitar player; I had no idea what the language and philosophy programs would have done for me. I try to conjugate Latin, but I suck at it, lol. TY!
I'm sorry; this is important to me and I'm nobody. So I'm telling you my experiences; perhaps there is something you can use?
