It's the elephant in the room. Look at our VP. Look at Mayor Lightfoot. Jesse Jackson. Al Sharpton. George Floyd. Rodney King. Malcolm X. And on and on.

Can you name one black-run country in the history of the world that has prospered? Or even done just ok? One?

Thats why I have a favorite statement that says ''The only thing a black politician can run well is their mouth''! That under the new regime at the other place does not make the mods happy!

Does anyone have the scoop on Lars?


He was actually mentioned in the Jag forum so there are some cross posters on the Jag lovers forum and here.


Something about his son’s case. ☹️

No. He has had a tragedy in the family. That's all I read.

His daughter was murdered by her ex (or soon to be ex).
I'll search for it, and post the link.

I enjoyed his stuff!
IIRC, his wife came on and let us all know he had passed. I believe he got a bench at NCM. Also IIRC, he had hosted numerous CF folks who made their way to Alaska and looked him up. Another IIRC: he was in his early 60s, and died from a sudden heart attack, despite being healthy and in great shape.

That's it, so sad. Son "in law" I guess. No doubt the stress caused his heart to break.

Nothing breaks your heart as much as losing a child....it's a break that can never be healed

Literally cannot wrap my mind around that kind of pain.

Have sadly had to witness it too many times working in ER/Medicine. The guttural screams will stay with me forever. 😔

Think the only thing that keeps some people going is having other kids to live for.

Was walking through my inbox over there, to see if I had any messages from Torch. Nope. But, there was this:

Just noticed another message from "The Gods". One of them removed a post I had made in a C6 for sale thread. My post was "If I had the cash available, I'd be all over that". Apparently, that was interfering with a sale.

Actually, what I was saying was, if I had the cash on hand, I'd be buying that car.
