They hate San Fransisco too though, and that's a many decades long hate. I grew up across the bay from SF, so I've experienced it all too often. But yea, They've been told most recently to hate Taylor, so I don't doubt they would so randomly hate a red state team even more right now. There is no rhyme nor reason to the delusional cowardice of bigots.
The black woman captain was in the first movie .... Jack had stolen her boat so he gave her the one he was using when he got the Black Pearl back. People are sooooo silly, smh
This. I was like hasn't there already been a black woman captain? I figured I'd check comments first. They're mad at something they'd never watch anyways. Clearly they didn't watch them enough to remember that.
My dad had a cutting horse, Tater Chip, that could turn on a dime and give a nickel change. He also had a dog, Dawg, that had been rescued from a man that had never released it from the chain which collared its neck and attached to a pole. Dawg and Tater Chip would follow Dad as though a part of his shadow. The fun part was to look out into the field and see Tater Chip and Dawg faced off against each other in a crouching position and then simultaneously run at each other like a game of chicken. There was swirving and quick dodging displaying cunning athletics. Then, they would line up and do it all over again. They were good friends that, when not playing, would walk side by side.
So the party now says Jacqoutte Delahaye did not exist because she was black and a woman. Born the daughter of a Frenchman and a Haitian woman in 17th century, Jacquotte Delahaye stole untold fortunes and captured the imaginations of many seafaring storytellers. This buccaneer lost her mother to childbirth and her brother was mentally handicapped, and once her father was murdered Delahaye was left alone to care for him. Legend has it that piracy is how she managed to do just that.
Sadly there are no contemporary accounts of her life, and "many of the stories seem to originate from 1940s writer, Léon Treich" (according to Royal Museums Greenwich). So while she may not be a good example of a 'real life' pirate, she does strongly establish a precedent in faction dating back almost a hundred years.
Came here to say the same & to suggest they google "Barbary Pirates". But then, MAGA folks have never been ones to allow facts to interfere with their perceived outrage. .
These same folks probably haven't heard of Ching Shih, aka Zheng Yi Sao, the greatest Chinese pirate, leader of the Red Fleet, who had as many as 1800 ships and 80,000 pirates marauding the South China Sea. She stomped on all the competition and was a shrewd negotiator, enabling her and her people to retire/become part of the establishment. A Google search should be sufficient to shut down the female/"black" female pirate argument.
I'm the one who commented about hearing him put his hands in his pockets. It wasn't even an email, just a comment under a video. Can't believe they selected it 😃
40yrs ago I too had a 100lb German Shepherd puppy. Best dog ever. Loved everybody and every animal he ever met. He lived 17 yrs and died in my living room and I still miss his love and his humor 😊 I hope that your puppy brings you the joy that mine brought me! I used to tell people he met that he wasn't so much my dog, as I was his human.😊
Here’s me not catching the joke at first and kicking myself wondering if I’d forgotten about the Super Bowl and not gotten back to my friend about coming over for it
To add to what Beau said at the end about a Civil War in the US. As any vet about Iraq or Afghanistan or any that may have served in Somalia or Rwanda….about what it looks like when neighbors kill each other over politics. The fact that America’s enemies would throw gasoline on the fire is real…and makes whatever those veterans can tell you orders of magnitude worse.
My son in law served in the Marines in Africa. My daughter doesn't ask about it after hearing him say that he didn't have to count dead children... Apparently, that's a job...so yeah, bad shit, civil wars. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Mainland USA would definitely burn. Literally. I can easily envision various local police/gov agencies dividing against each other within the states; I.e. city vs county vs state. Families are already killing each other in the more extreme cases, so to quote a certain movie “just a little..push”. And very few states are actually all red or blue. They all have pockets of opposition. Chaotic is imho, an understatement and being very generous.
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 Humans are still better at that than other animals are. The fact is, if two humans who know nothing about each other and have no reason to trust each other _weren't_ able to interact peacefully 99.99% of the time, modern cities simply could not exist.
I love the whole Taylor Swift thing. It still amazes me how quickly and thoroughly the followers of right-wing media incorporate their instructions on whom to hate into the very core of their beings...
The hilarious thing about Taylor Swift is the right thought she was a RW Nazi lover because she never spoke about her political beliefs until the RW started vilifying trans and LGBTQ Americans. She started speaking out against it and they lost all lust for Taylor but the vitriol wasn't there. When Roe was overturned, she clapped back at the Republican party and told the 18+Swifties to vote at her concerts. Then the vitriol started. I could say more about this but the post is already too long.
@@theresafox7690 to be rotten, I don't think their lust for Taylor Swift EVER left and I think that's part of the source of their impotent frustration.
And it's only brought Taylor more supporters. I couldn't care less about her before this all started. Now , I still don't like her music but I'm a huge fan of her otherwise.
Something to the effect of "Call me if you change your mind." Is a good way to acknowledge acceptance of her answer, let everyone save face, and end that conversation gently.
I like that, I've used it, and she changed her mind :). Suggestion, I added ..."but I won't be bringing it up again." as a reassurance for her, and then I kept. That. Promise for like 8 months(and continued to act like a normal friend) before she changed her mind.
there is..Jacqoutte DelahayeBorn the daughter of a Frenchman and a Haitian woman in 17th century, Jacquotte Delahaye stole untold fortunes.

Zoe Saldana. First "Pirates" movie. Jack stole her ship and didn't replace or return it. She calls him on it. He admits it. And Will Turner promises her a better one.
I didn't find any black female pirate captains but wiki had this: Among the most powerful pirate women were figures such as Zheng Yi Sao (1775-1844) and Huang Bamei (1906-1982), both of whom led tens of thousands of pirates.
It’s often because the far right starts threatening them and their families when they do the right thing. It’s a large part of why the GOP is as far gone as it is. Anyone who isn’t willing to be actively malevolent gets pushed out. MOre moderate conservatives leave office because they are scared for their family. That’s a huge part of why Romney left, and he’s pretty far right.
i gotta say i am surprised they only waited a week before bringing the impeachment vote back up. i guess they got nothing better to do and a real hankering for looking like idiots.
Much appreciated your on-the-fly story about Marilyn and your German Shepherd puppy. One of my good friends had a large, trained, German Shepherd named Tank. He was huge and could be intimidating to the wrong person, but was a big softy. He loved jumping on the trampoline and playing in the pool with the kids. Let the Team know that we need that video of Marilyn and pup. Thank you all! ✌️😎💚
Whenever some Yanks start calling for a "national divorce", my first thought Is always "who gets custody of the thermonuclear children?" And then I go back to digging my own back yard Fallout 4-style subterranean domicile. 😉 Good luck to the Superbowlers and G'night from 🇦🇺
Keep in mind that people who call for this fall entirely in one of two categories: 1-People dense enough that they think that the fact that their state is red on an electoral map means that there is no blues there and 2- People who understand that and well...like what Israel is doing in Gaza and want to bring those strategies home.
For the guy who wants to ask a woman on a date, I echo Beau's advice. I also want to give the guy props for being conscious of potential issues, and wanting to make sure he doesn't add to the problem. I don't know about younger women, but I would typically not accept a first date on Valentine's. Too much pressure. Dinner is nice, as it gives you a chance to talk and get to know each other, which clubs, etc. make hard. If you know enough about her to offer an event involving a shared interest, consider that option. Offer the choice of picking her up or meeting there, so you are both being polite, and letting her set her safety parameters. Good luck!
For me if it was a friend I had known for a while and asked me on Valentine's day I would say yes because of already being comfortable but for a " just getting to know you" date it would be a no. That's just me though 🤷♀️
"Don't chase your whiskey"? Is this like my mother telling me, "Never run after a bus, an elevator, or a man. There's always another one around the corner."?
When it comes to Central America, the scars of American foreign policy are visible everywhere; and the wounding hasn't stopped. Belize suffered too--make no mistake--even as a 'British' territory. Going back to the slave trade and before; pillaging of Mayan resources, deforestation, United Fruit--many of the region's same horror-stories apply.
For the book recommendation it might also help with someone leaning towards Trump that most of the events in the book took place before Trump entered politics. If I remember correctly that investigation started in 2011. It might help avoid the knee jerk right wing reaction which is to claim it was all a politically motivated hit job by the deep state, because no one in their right mind back then, thought Trump would actually become President.
based on what we saw here during Portland's nearly a year of rioting as an example: groups of friends and families from shared neighborhoods and workplaces squaring off against opposing families and friends from different workplaces and neighborhoods.. No front lines, no states or regions held by one group or the other, just bloody chaos
One big issue is all of those people assuming that the quiet ones are absolutely totally with them and that they won't end up standing on the street against them when the day arrives. My father is a very quiet guy who rarely volunteers his opinion, who had to tell a bunch of folk to never talk to him again back leading to the 2020 election. Quiet "DFL" Democrat family, with me being the most bold as the outlier.
@@Skeloric very true this. The quiet majority don't want chaos, and will stand for stability when the time comes. I heard a recent quote something along the lines of: ".. I got no time for a civil war, after work I need to get Billy off to football practice and little Becky to her piano lessons.."
A civil war here would look like dissolution of Yugoslavia...ooof. I deployed to Bosnia for six months in 1998-1999 and it was sobering to hear the stories of the people who survived the war and all its consequences. It cut close to home for my dad was born in Yugoslavia not long after the country was formed after WWI. Also sobering is to stand on a Sarajevo Rose, a red painted plastered over scar of pavement where people were killed while queued up for food.
"A Russian candidate was barred from running against Putin." The only questions left are: "How many times was he barred?' "Did he survive the encounter?" It is probably not a good time to take any last-minute flights in Russia or going into a multi-story building to "self-inflict" harm on himself. He also should not go into a single-story building with a few basement levels under the building.
I’m not really up on my pirate history, but I have a niggling feeling that there might actually have been. I do know that there was at least a woman captain - Anne Bonney.
If the cheifs win, a reporter needs to go up to them on the field and ask, "Now that you've won the Super Bowl, what are you going to do next?" To which they respond, "We're going to the White House!"
my bud had been stationed in Germany during the cold war where he told me there was a German expression that asked simply and innocently very early in the meeting of boy and girl... "Am I your type"? Everyone has their type and If you are not it, its not about you.... so simple
My parents had a huge German Shepherd who looked so envious when I cuddled my Shiba Inu (Shibas don't usually cuddle, but mine did) that I put her on my lap. That was pretty funny until she tried being a lap dog with people who were less enthusiastic about snuggling something resembling a Dire Wolf. The GSD quickly learned that she could only be a lap dog with certain people.
Mary Trump’s book would be a good start for the 91 yr old man. She spells him out pretty well. And speaks from a close position. Explains how he's not whatever he has purported to be.
And add, "And that's how he treats his family." I think it includes how he cheated her father out of part/most of his inheritance and extorted other deals by threatening to withhold medical care for a family member.
@@zinaj9437 Oh, that's most definitely not all. Fred Trump drove his own son Freddy to alcoholism and death because he was a "glorified bus driver" (Air National Guard reservist, airline pilot). Donald was just continuing what his rotten father did to Freddy.
During the recent Supreme Court session, the point was made that one state should not determine who the president should be. Bush Gore? Is there any election where one state difference won the electoral count?
The problem is that the states don't get to opt in or out of specific amendments. Making this about a 'single state' is just a bad take from the Justices. Thier job is to find on the application of the constitution, not whether states can or should apply the constitution.
Also, I'm glad that in talking about Central America, you mentioned General Butler. Definitely a voice that more people should listen to. As far as Belize, the only reason the USA didn't mess that up was because it was a British colony.
I don’t think I ever feel as smart as I do after any of Beau’s videos. New information, new insights, reaffirmation of hopeful possibilities follow these videos. Thank you.
The entire Middle East has cried rivers of tears, yet the politicians can't seem to understand how to stop making more misery. Part of this comes from interfering with the people, the cultures, the "power" structures, especially the "Western" countries. "When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn"? Old song lyrics still apply.
“Guys, don’t even chase your whiskey.” Classic Beauism. Your personal advice (about asking for a date) was in depth, empathetic and sympathetic. Thank you.
Definitely creating more folks willing to retaliate after losing loved ones. So shortsighted and heartbreaking. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
I was also going to recommend Tristan Snell’s book about Trump University. Glenn Kirschner just had an interview with him, fascinating!! Not just students got snookered, the vendors did not get paid. Trump destroyed so many small businesses with this Trump University situation.
"People who talk about a national divorce or a civil war in the U.S. have no idea what they're asking for. Whatever they're picturing, it's not that. It would be horrible, and countries around the world would keep it going. Arms would flood in. It would be a disaster. There would be no 'glorious battles' or anything like that. It would destroy the country and culture and everything they proclaim that they love. People who think that's a good idea have NO CLUE what they're talking about. It would be horrific." Amen.
There were Black Captains, there were female Captains, there was a Female Chinese Pirate Captain in charge of a whole fleet who organized them into a dominant naval force that was able to forcibly negotiate exoneration for herself and her crew AND kept the bulk of their amassed wealth, there were (if I remember right cause this is off the top of my head) Irish women who were pirate captains. That argument against realism is just bullshit on the face of it. Barnacle people, ghosts and undead pirates notwithstanding.
Let me guess, you were owned by a mini dachshund or similar 😂. I tell people my dakky thinks he’s a bonsai’d Rottweiler and has trouble understanding his ambitions and capabilities.😊
There used to be a big paperback with a red cover that was all government generated about everything under the sun. Everything from to build a septic tank to starting fires without matches. If anyone remembers the title I'd appreciate it if they would let me know.
When I was growing up, I remember my dad jingling the change in his pocket when he'd be standing somewhere. Thanks for triggering that memory for me, Beau.
I appreciate any updates on S. American countries… I know a few things, but again, we don’t cover foreign policy in schools and as adults we play catch-up (if that).
Strange they weren’t bothered about the HMS Bounty replica featuring in the first “Pirates” movie. A Royal Navy ship being sailed by American pirates wouldn’t happen. Out of era, and an enemy ship!
I have completely died with this Pirates of the Caribbean thing. Can't wait to hear them start blaming Biden for it. I love that you ended the video with the German Shepherd story. My Chihuahua that lives with my dad in NC has made friends with a horse named Ginger. When I go see them it's like my favorite thing in the world. Makes me kinda nervous when she's in there with her because she's so tiny but it's still really cute
It really sucks how the republicans are destroying masculinity in America by making them scared of everything and convinced that the cockiness is confidence, when cockiness is a clear sign of a lack of confidence. They're making so many men weak of character and emotionally frail. It's just not attractive.
When I heard about pirates of the Caribbean thing my first thought is so this is their zombies I mean followers are being instructed to hate and tear apart, every time the hate is directed towards something new it reminds me that they only follower that their rulers say to do without critical thinking
Back From the Dead Red. Pirates fascinated me when I was young because we had been told that we had a privateer in our family. I remembered reading that there were male and female black pirates. The information below is from a 3/2/2015 Prezi article written by Melissa Lopez. There were black pirates who ran with Black Beard, some of whom were former slaves. One black captain, Jacquotte Delahaye, aka Back From the Dead Red, was the daughter of a Haitian woman and a Frenchman. Legend has it that Captain Delahaye became a pirate to support her mentally handicapped brother. She took uncounted numbers of rich ships making herself a legend.
My girlfriend at the time went to an all-girls college, and I got to know many of the women there surprisingly well. Every Valentine's Day for years, a friend and I would just wander around and hand out 3 dozen long stem roses to people we saw. It would start at that school, but it was still in a city infamous for its bad attitude, and always ended up just wandering through the city passing them out, wishing strangers the best. I never had any negative reaction from anyone, even the total strangers. Not even the guys we'd occasionally slip flowers to. Everyone was just pleasantly surprised at the least, and more than one person had tears in their eyes because no one had ever given them anything like that before. I just don't think a lot of younger generations have the social skills to understand the real world all that well. I can't say I blame them, but turning to the internet for answers clearly hasn't helped most of them so far. Beau is one of the few decent choices and it's *always* a better idea to be more aware than less so, but the real world still hasn't changed all that much over the years.
The main thing is that if someone says no - no matter how timidly or rudely (usually a no is just no) - to accept the no. Say “okay, have a great day” and walk away.
@@MusicfromMarrs Absolutely. And that seems to be a particular important lesson to drive home the importance of these days. Don't assume she's playing some game, don't double down your efforts, and don't get angry. Just eat the "no" and go on with your day. It has happened to everyone who has ever lived (at least every one of those who ever tried), so it's certainly not the end of the world. Hell, it doesn't even have to (and probably shouldn't) be the end of your night.
As long as it’s done respectfully, it’s always flattering even if you aren’t interested, from my collective experience of friends, family, and myself. Some women have a hard time letting people down gently, or don’t try to because of trauma, but it’s still unlikely to ruin her day if it’s done with real respect, imo.
On the dating thing, just even acknowledging that it might be awkward, or uncomfortable, can go a long way like "...if you don't want to, or don't feel that it's appropriate, I fully understand." As a neurodivergent person who finds all conversations uncomfortable, I have always hedged any approach, even with long time friends. Heck even with my husband, after almost 20 years, I might suggest we watch a movie tonight, but "no worries if you've got something you want to get done, we can plan to watch it another time". Basically I just always make room for the fact that I'm not the protagonist in a videogame, and other people can have plans, or not be interested, or whatever. The more you can demonstrate that you are a reasonable person, the less worried people need to be that you're a violent jerk. PS: Beau you are really good at this, so much thoughtful advice!
Please share pics of your pupper! I lost my sweet GSD last year to lymphoma. You are right, they remain puppies with no idea how big they are. She was a white GSD & before she got sick, weighed 115 lbs. Still retained her "puppiness" even though she was 8 years old.
I wish Americans were more concerned about what is really going on in America politically than: M&M’s, Bud Light, Barbie, Mr. Potato Head, LEGOS, etc., etc., etc.
Are you sure??? Team sports is really just highly stylized mock tribal war. From WAY back it was realized that civilization past a certain size depended equally on Bread AND Circuses. I'm pretty sure there was at least one well documented incident of Fan Zeal spilling out of the stadium and basically burning Byzantium to the ground in a bloody Civil War where the differences between Team Jersey Color and political affiliation kinda got cross-wired.
That’s what I thought too. As soon as I heard Yugoslavia I felt nauseous. I’m still feeling pretty unsettled and searching through the comments for…I don’t know what…somebody to tell me they disagree? Hope? I remember hearing accounts from women who survived. It was some of the most horrific accounts of violence I’ve ever heard. The fact we are even talking about that as a possibility makes me want to throw up.
That's a possibility. However, the side committing the violence isn't going to have legitimate cause. It'll probably be more like the Middle East having to deal with Daesh (ISIS), women, children and any minorities having much to fear.
I'd look to those hooded men on horses right after 1865 and how much harm they caused. Very much comparable to the Troubles, I think - but only in the asymmetric warfare angle.
When I was young... a loonngg time ago, a guy at work asked me out, and I said, "Thank you for asking, but no." He didn't ask if I was seeing someone or had a reason... he let loose with angry insults. The manager found out from other employees and fired him. I used to get stroked from guys behind me in line. Usually, just stepping forward stopped the insult. Once, I was bumped repeatably by a jerk's crotch. When I whirled around fists clenched, it was an older, smiling, skinny guy about a foot shorter than me. I growled. He lost the grin and hurriedly stepped back. I glared at the watching guys in line behind him and snarled, "What the hell?!" They lost their smiles, and I stomped out of the restaurant. Now that I'm grey-haired, I'm ignored... a relief. I don't expect guys to hold the door open for me or to not curse in every sentence. But, internally, I sigh at the waste of time and effort to pick out the point of their communication... usually, it's just whining. Once in a while, I run across a guy who can communicate and wants to do so without condescending or cursing. Such a delight!
"Madden NFL 2025 (Taylor's Version)" would definitely break sales records. Both Swifties, and the haters who are gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate by buying physical copies just to set them on fire.
Seems to me that it is a simple enough thing to delete the FoxNews channel from an elderly person’s tv. They usually don’t understand the technology to turn it back on.
Regarding Latin America, for folks who don’t feel like reading non-fiction, O Henry wrote a whole bunch of stories that give a humorous window into the shenanigans going on a hundred years ago. He even coined the expression “banana republic”. He also gave the inside scoop on grifters of various kinds. People could be inoculated against all kinds of stupidity just by reading lots of O Henry.
Say, what? When I did a TH-cam search for "Trump admits that Jan 6 was an insurrection.", I only got thumbnails from not-known channels. I get the impression that it was a Freudian slip.
It wasn't, he said "I think it was an insurrection" then repeated it and added "caused by Nancy Pelosi" Meidas Touch Network here on TH-cam have videos about the press conference he held (directly after the oral arguments) on the steps of Mara-Largo
Most of Meidas' clips of it missed the followup "if it was an insurrection" legal dodge. Brian Tyler Cohen has the longer clip at th-cam.com/video/GHYyrzGVDjk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Beau, just to broaden your perspective, I've *absolutely* had my day ruined just by a guy asking me out, even in a public place with people around and plenty of exits. If it isn't someone I'm interested in, it immediately spikes my anxiety and I'll have the jitters for a while. Maybe an hour or two, maybe the rest of the day, maybe longer, depending on the particulars of the situation. Being asked out is indeed a trigger for some people. So my answer to the asker, on top of what Beau said, is to make it explicitly clear that it will be fine if the woman says no. Knowing that you recognize the issue and the assurance that you won't punish her will probably do a lot to mitigate the anxiety. The one time I've had a guy friend ask me out and NOT punish me afterwards for saying no was very healing for me. It doesn't take away the trigger, but I'm more confident that saying "no" isn't *wrong* and I feel even more secure in that friendship than I did before. So if she does say no, if you're gentle and understanding, it may end up being a good thing in the long run that she had a safe experience with rejection, whether you're friends or just acquaintances / just met. (And then again, it may not -- someone with the same trigger may process things very differently than I do. Everyone's brain wiring from genetics and experience is unique to them. 😔 But a little bit of risk is unavoidable and it's not unethical of you to ask.)
your take on another civil war is spot on. those clamoring for it have NO IDEA just how bad it would be. they have no concept of just how hideous it would be. i've read too many war books to ever want to see war anywhere.
Who else doesn't care about sports but wants The Chiefs win just because of the righties hating Taylor?
Me! Lol
They hate San Fransisco too though, and that's a many decades long hate. I grew up across the bay from SF, so I've experienced it all too often. But yea, They've been told most recently to hate Taylor, so I don't doubt they would so randomly hate a red state team even more right now. There is no rhyme nor reason to the delusional cowardice of bigots.
That would be me. 😂

My dad had a cutting horse, Tater Chip, that could turn on a dime and give a nickel change. He also had a dog, Dawg, that had been rescued from a man that had never released it from the chain which collared its neck and attached to a pole.

So the party now says Jacqoutte Delahaye did not exist because she was black and a woman. Born the daughter of a Frenchman and a Haitian woman in 17th century, Jacquotte Delahaye stole untold fortunes and captured the imaginations of many seafaring storytellers. This buccaneer lost her mother to childbirth and her brother was mentally handicapped, and once her father was murdered Delahaye was left alone to care for him. Legend has it that piracy is how she managed to do just that.
Sadly there are no contemporary accounts of her life, and "many of the stories seem to originate from 1940s writer, Léon Treich" (according to Royal Museums Greenwich).
So while she may not be a good example of a 'real life' pirate, she does strongly establish a precedent in faction dating back almost a hundred years.
I knew that somewhere in history there was a black woman pirate but could not remember her name. Thanks!
Came here to say the same & to suggest they google "Barbary Pirates". But then, MAGA folks have never been ones to allow facts to interfere with their perceived outrage. .
I’m Irish and we have a female pirate from the late 1500’s and another from the early 1700’s in our family tree, yes there were female pirates.
These same folks probably haven't heard of Ching Shih, aka Zheng Yi Sao, the greatest Chinese pirate, leader of the Red Fleet, who had as many as 1800 ships and 80,000 pirates marauding the South China Sea. She stomped on all the competition and was a shrewd negotiator, enabling her and her people to retire/become part of the establishment.
A Google search should be sufficient to shut down the female/"black" female pirate argument.

"Guys, don't even chase your whiskey." -Beau.
Sage. Fucking. Advice.
_"San Fransisco Taylors and the Kansas City Swifts."_ 🤣😂🤣
Here’s me not catching the joke at first and kicking myself wondering if I’d forgotten about the Super Bowl and not gotten back to my friend about coming over for it
@@TheiaofMeridor : I laughed so hard when Beau said that. lols
Anyway, hope you and your friend have a really fun day!😊

Black woman -- definitely the far right's kryptonite 😂😂

There is nothing that scares a MAGA more than a confident successful Black woman.
Half Black, half Asian, half Latino, half Inuit wheel-chair-bound lesbian.

To add to what Beau said at the end about a Civil War in the US.
As any vet about Iraq or Afghanistan or any that may have served in Somalia or Rwanda….about what it looks like when neighbors kill each other over politics. The fact that America’s enemies would throw gasoline on the fire is real…and makes whatever those veterans can tell you orders of magnitude worse.
My son in law served in the Marines in Africa. My daughter doesn't ask about it after hearing him say that he didn't have to count dead children... Apparently, that's a job...so yeah, bad shit, civil wars. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
Mainland USA would definitely burn. Literally. I can easily envision various local police/gov agencies dividing against each other within the states; I.e. city vs county vs state. Families are already killing each other in the more extreme cases, so to quote a certain movie “just a little..push”. And very few states are actually all red or blue. They all have pockets of opposition. Chaotic is imho, an understatement and being very generous.
Brother against brother. Father against son. Etc. Thanksgiving will be a disaster.
And yet a Dog, puppy at that, no real life experience, and a horse that may be a rescue animal, can figure
out how to be friends.
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 Humans are still better at that than other animals are. The fact is, if two humans who know nothing about each other and have no reason to trust each other _weren't_ able to interact peacefully 99.99% of the time, modern cities simply could not exist.
I love the whole Taylor Swift thing. It still amazes me how quickly and thoroughly the followers of right-wing media incorporate their instructions on whom to hate into the very core of their beings...
The hilarious thing about Taylor Swift is the right thought she was a RW Nazi lover because she never spoke about her political beliefs until the RW started vilifying trans and LGBTQ Americans. She started speaking out against it and they lost all lust for Taylor but the vitriol wasn't there.
When Roe was overturned, she clapped back at the Republican party and told the 18+Swifties to vote at her concerts. Then the vitriol started.
I could say more about this but the post is already too long.
@@theresafox7690 to be rotten, I don't think their lust for Taylor Swift EVER left and I think that's part of the source of their impotent frustration.
I agree. I find it amusing that the repugs are frothing at the mouth over this. Ha ha ha
And it's only brought Taylor more supporters. I couldn't care less about her before this all started. Now , I still don't like her music but I'm a huge fan of her otherwise.
@@lazylazymuleI think you're onto something. This strikes me as bitter incel behavior.
I really have no idea why sonmany people are angry with Taylor Swift. I didn't think they watched anymore after Kaebernik took a knee.

If Beau ever wrote a relationship manual for men, i bet it would be a best seller and go into multiple printings.
Something to the effect of "Call me if you change your mind." Is a good way to acknowledge acceptance of her answer, let everyone save face, and end that conversation gently.
I like that, I've used it, and she changed her mind :). Suggestion, I added ..."but I won't be bringing it up again." as a reassurance for her, and then I kept. That. Promise for like 8 months(and continued to act like a normal friend) before she changed her mind.
“Don’t even chase your whiskey”. Gotta love the clear way Beau explains things.
Can't have a black woman captain in pirates of the CARIBBEAN
Right? I’m willing to bet there’s historical precedence.
And the ones complaining are the ones who believe that cavemen had dinosaurs for pets!😅
there is..Jacqoutte DelahayeBorn the daughter of a Frenchman and a Haitian woman in 17th century, Jacquotte Delahaye stole untold fortunes. This buccaneer lost her mother to childbirth and her brother was mentally handicapped, and once her father was murdered Delahaye was left alone to care for him. Legend has it that piracy is how she managed to do just that..@@MusicfromMarrs
Zoe Saldana. First "Pirates" movie. Jack stole her ship and didn't replace or return it. She calls him on it. He admits it. And Will Turner promises her a better one.
I didn't find any black female pirate captains but wiki had this:
Among the most powerful pirate women were figures such as Zheng Yi Sao (1775-1844) and Huang Bamei (1906-1982), both of whom led tens of thousands of pirates.
We now need video of Marilyn and the puppy running up and down the fence together 🙂

Buck is also not running and also voted against the mayorkas impeachment. Its too bad the spine only shows up when theyre leaving.
Right!?!
It’s often because the far right starts threatening them and their families when they do the right thing. It’s a large part of why the GOP is as far gone as it is.
Anyone who isn’t willing to be actively malevolent gets pushed out. MOre moderate conservatives leave office because they are scared for their family.
That’s a huge part of why Romney left, and he’s pretty far right.
@@munchkingod6This is basically the same tactic as the Nazis, but who does that surprise anyway?
i gotta say i am surprised they only waited a week before bringing the impeachment vote back up.
i guess they got nothing better to do and a real hankering for looking like idiots.
I think it is more that they know that they will be kicked out for it, and choose to be ethical anyway. "You can't primary me, I quit."

Much appreciated your on-the-fly story about Marilyn and your German Shepherd puppy.
One of my good friends had a large, trained, German Shepherd named Tank. He was huge and could be intimidating to the wrong person, but was a big softy. He loved jumping on the trampoline and playing in the pool with the kids.
Let the Team know that we need that video of Marilyn and pup.
Thank you all! ✌️😎💚
Whenever some Yanks start calling for a "national divorce", my first thought Is always "who gets custody of the thermonuclear children?"
And then I go back to digging my own back yard Fallout 4-style subterranean domicile. 😉
Good luck to the Superbowlers and G'night from 🇦🇺
If it’s any consolation, some of us Yanks wonder the thing.
Keep in mind that people who call for this fall entirely in one of two categories: 1-People dense enough that they think that the fact that their state is red on an electoral map means that there is no blues there and 2- People who understand that and well...like what Israel is doing in Gaza and want to bring those strategies home.
For the guy who wants to ask a woman on a date, I echo Beau's advice. I also want to give the guy props for being conscious of potential issues, and wanting to make sure he doesn't add to the problem. I don't know about younger women, but I would typically not accept a first date on Valentine's. Too much pressure. Dinner is nice, as it gives you a chance to talk and get to know each other, which clubs, etc. make hard. If you know enough about her to offer an event involving a shared interest, consider that option. Offer the choice of picking her up or meeting there, so you are both being polite, and letting her set her safety parameters. Good luck!
For me if it was a friend I had known for a while and asked me on Valentine's day I would say yes because of already being comfortable but for a " just getting to know you" date it would be a no. That's just me though 🤷♀️
"Don't chase your whiskey"?
Is this like my mother telling me, "Never run after a bus, an elevator, or a man. There's always another one around the corner."?
Love this.
When it comes to Central America, the scars of American foreign policy are visible everywhere; and the wounding hasn't stopped.
Belize suffered too--make no mistake--even as a 'British' territory.
Going back to the slave trade and before; pillaging of Mayan resources, deforestation, United Fruit--many of the region's same horror-stories apply.
For the book recommendation it might also help with someone leaning towards Trump that most of the events in the book took place before Trump entered politics. If I remember correctly that investigation started in 2011. It might help avoid the knee jerk right wing reaction which is to claim it was all a politically motivated hit job by the deep state, because no one in their right mind back then, thought Trump would actually become President.
And now I want nothing more than a short of the puppy and Marilyn running along the fence together.
I still want to ask them, who their enemy is? Who are they planning on fighting? The neighbors?
Anyone without a maga hat?
based on what we saw here during Portland's nearly a year of rioting as an example: groups of friends and families from shared neighborhoods and workplaces squaring off against opposing families and friends from different workplaces and neighborhoods..
No front lines, no states or regions held by one group or the other, just bloody chaos
One big issue is all of those people assuming that the quiet ones are absolutely totally with them and that they won't end up standing on the street against them when the day arrives.
My father is a very quiet guy who rarely volunteers his opinion, who had to tell a bunch of folk to never talk to him again back leading to the 2020 election.
Quiet "DFL" Democrat family, with me being the most bold as the outlier.
@@Skeloric very true this. The quiet majority don't want chaos, and will stand for stability when the time comes.
I heard a recent quote something along the lines of:
".. I got no time for a civil war, after work I need to get Billy off to football practice and little Becky to her piano lessons.."
A civil war here would look like dissolution of Yugoslavia...ooof. I deployed to Bosnia for six months in 1998-1999 and it was sobering to hear the stories of the people who survived the war and all its consequences. It cut close to home for my dad was born in Yugoslavia not long after the country was formed after WWI. Also sobering is to stand on a Sarajevo Rose, a red painted plastered over scar of pavement where people were killed while queued up for food.
These people think they're going to be like John Wayne, while in reality they're going to be the extras that get shot in the action scenes.
My paternal grandparents emigrated here from same
"A Russian candidate was barred from running against Putin." The only questions left are: "How many times was he barred?' "Did he survive the encounter?" It is probably not a good time to take any last-minute flights in Russia or going into a multi-story building to "self-inflict" harm on himself. He also should not go into a single-story building with a few basement levels under the building.
I thought Pirates already HAD a black female captain
I’m not really up on my pirate history, but I have a niggling feeling that there might actually have been. I do know that there was at least a woman captain - Anne Bonney.
First movie. Zoe Saldana. "You stole my boat!"
Yeah, but facts make their heads hurt.
"We must protect our phony baloney jobs, gentlemen,

It's willful ignorance at this point. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, and neither can you convince maga with facts.
OMG, giant puppies! 😄 A friend had a full-grown Irish wolfhound that would still try to climb into your lap for cuddles. Big doofus. 💜
My parents had a huge German Shepherd who looked so envious when I cuddled my Shiba Inu (Shibas don't usually cuddle, but mine did) that I put her on my lap. That was pretty funny until she tried being a lap dog with people who were less enthusiastic about snuggling something resembling a Dire Wolf. The GSD quickly learned that she could only be a lap dog with certain people.
Mary Trump’s book would be a good start for the 91 yr old man. She spells him out pretty well. And speaks from a close position. Explains how he's not whatever he has purported to be.
And add, "And that's how he treats his family."
I think it includes how he cheated her father out of part/most of his inheritance and extorted other deals by threatening to withhold medical care for a family member.
I was thinking the same.
@@zinaj9437 Oh, that's most definitely not all. Fred Trump drove his own son Freddy to alcoholism and death because he was a "glorified bus driver" (Air National Guard reservist, airline pilot). Donald was just continuing what his rotten father did to Freddy.
Also Prof. Bandy Lee "Profile of a Nation" - talks about why he is a danger apart from being a ripoff artist.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I forgot to mention. The first Pirates of the Caribbean HAS a female black pirate captain.
Good morning y'all. Beau, I love how down to earth and real you are. Thank you. You are appreciated.
"Guys, don't even chase your whiskey. " I like this as a motto to remember.
Thumbs up for all the work you do to bring context to issues of the day.
During the recent Supreme Court session, the point was made that one state should not determine who the president should be. Bush Gore? Is there any election where one state difference won the electoral count?
And then the Supreme Court decided for us who we wanted as president. Wasn't that nice of them?🙄
I still cry sometimes about that one, when I don’t get angry about it.
If they're so concerned about one state determining the outcome, maybe they should get rid of the electoral college.
They just like to whine about anything and everything
The problem is that the states don't get to opt in or out of specific amendments. Making this about a 'single state' is just a bad take from the Justices. Thier job is to find on the application of the constitution, not whether states can or should apply the constitution.
Also, I'm glad that in talking about Central America, you mentioned General Butler. Definitely a voice that more people should listen to. As far as Belize, the only reason the USA didn't mess that up was because it was a British colony.
I don’t think I ever feel as smart as I do after any of Beau’s videos. New information, new insights, reaffirmation of hopeful possibilities follow these videos. Thank you.
The pirates movies had a Chinese woman who was a captain. I know it's not the same as a black woman; but I don't remember an uproar over that.
One of the most powerful people in Asia during her lifetime. Had a huge fleet of ships!
Great job in announcing the email address regularly now! Have a great Sunday Beau & crew 🤗
The entire Middle East has cried rivers of tears, yet the politicians can't seem to understand how to stop making more misery.
Part of this comes from interfering with the people, the cultures, the "power" structures, especially the "Western" countries.
"When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn"? Old song lyrics still apply.
“Guys, don’t even chase your whiskey.” Classic Beauism. Your personal advice (about asking for a date) was in depth, empathetic and sympathetic. Thank you.
Every time I think they couldn’t possibly get crazier they absolutely surpass that border.
They will inevitably take the challenge
Yeah big mistake on Rafa.
The GOP makes me sick.
Definitely creating more folks willing to retaliate after losing loved ones. So shortsighted and heartbreaking. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
They make the world sick. Literally and figuratively.
Good save with the puppy story 👍, that was the right information to make all the difference in my outlook today. 😉

I was also going to recommend Tristan Snell’s book about Trump University. Glenn Kirschner just had an interview with him, fascinating!! Not just students got snookered, the vendors did not get paid. Trump destroyed so many small businesses with this Trump University situation.
"People who talk about a national divorce or a civil war in the U.S. have no idea what they're asking for. Whatever they're picturing, it's not that. It would be horrible, and countries around the world would keep it going. Arms would flood in. It would be a disaster. There would be no 'glorious battles' or anything like that. It would destroy the country and culture and everything they proclaim that they love. People who think that's a good idea have NO CLUE what they're talking about. It would be horrific." Amen.

@@robertrowells5134 -Yw!
There were Black Captains, there were female Captains, there was a Female Chinese Pirate Captain in charge of a whole fleet who organized them into a dominant naval force that was able to forcibly negotiate exoneration for herself and her crew AND kept the bulk of their amassed wealth, there were (if I remember right cause this is off the top of my head) Irish women who were pirate captains.
That argument against realism is just bullshit on the face of it. Barnacle people, ghosts and undead pirates notwithstanding.
OMG, With everything in the world that's actually worth their anger, they choose to turn it on obvious falsities 🙄😂
And as far as the Black Woman captain...this outrage from the "we're not racist" crowd blows my mind 🤯
All dogs believe they are puppies, except for small dogs, they believe they are 200lb mastiffs.

For the guy asking for a book for his 91-year-old father, may I suggest any Trump investigation written by David Cay Johnston.
Johnston is brilliant-never been sued by Trump, yet been reporting on him for over 30 years, I believe. Great recommendation!
He was the one that came to my mind as well.
Thanks for the suggestion.
When I was growing up, I remember my dad jingling the change in his pocket when he'd be standing somewhere. Thanks for triggering that memory for me, Beau.

Out of era, and an enemy ship!
How unpatriotic XD
What a world...
Genuine gratitude for you and your channel Beau.
I have completely died with this Pirates of the Caribbean thing. Can't wait to hear them start blaming Biden for it. I love that you ended the video with the German Shepherd story. My Chihuahua that lives with my dad in NC has made friends with a horse named Ginger. When I go see them it's like my favorite thing in the world. Makes me kinda nervous when she's in there with her because she's so tiny but it's still really cute
The broflakes need a panic room.
That's already started... A couple of Far Right pundits have couched this allegation..
It really sucks how the republicans are destroying masculinity in America by making them scared of everything and convinced that the cockiness is confidence, when cockiness is a clear sign of a lack of confidence. They're making so many men weak of character and emotionally frail. It's just not attractive.
When I heard about pirates of the Caribbean thing my first thought is so this is their zombies I mean followers are being instructed to hate and tear apart, every time the hate is directed towards something new it reminds me that they only follower that their rulers say to do without critical thinking
It is obvious that Joe was told to do that by Michelle Obama
Back From the Dead Red.
Pirates fascinated me when I was young because we had been told that we had a privateer in our family. I remembered reading that there were male and female black pirates.
The information below is from a 3/2/2015 Prezi article written by Melissa Lopez.
There were black pirates who ran with Black Beard, some of whom were former slaves.
One black captain, Jacquotte Delahaye, aka Back From the Dead Red, was the daughter of a Haitian woman and a Frenchman. Legend has it that Captain Delahaye became a pirate to support her mentally handicapped brother. She took uncounted numbers of rich ships making herself a legend.
Dude, you only live once and the worst she can say is NO. I've never been offended by a guy asking me out. It's flattering . You got this!
My girlfriend at the time went to an all-girls college, and I got to know many of the women there surprisingly well. Every Valentine's Day for years, a friend and I would just wander around and hand out 3 dozen long stem roses to people we saw. It would start at that school, but it was still in a city infamous for its bad attitude, and always ended up just wandering through the city passing them out, wishing strangers the best.
I never had any negative reaction from anyone, even the total strangers. Not even the guys we'd occasionally slip flowers to. Everyone was just pleasantly surprised at the least, and more than one person had tears in their eyes because no one had ever given them anything like that before.
I just don't think a lot of younger generations have the social skills to understand the real world all that well. I can't say I blame them, but turning to the internet for answers clearly hasn't helped most of them so far. Beau is one of the few decent choices and it's *always* a better idea to be more aware than less so, but the real world still hasn't changed all that much over the years.
The main thing is that if someone says no - no matter how timidly or rudely (usually a no is just no) - to accept the no. Say “okay, have a great day” and walk away.
@@MusicfromMarrs Absolutely. And that seems to be a particular important lesson to drive home the importance of these days. Don't assume she's playing some game, don't double down your efforts, and don't get angry. Just eat the "no" and go on with your day.
It has happened to everyone who has ever lived (at least every one of those who ever tried), so it's certainly not the end of the world. Hell, it doesn't even have to (and probably shouldn't) be the end of your night.
As long as it’s done respectfully, it’s always flattering even if you aren’t interested, from my collective experience of friends, family, and myself. Some women have a hard time letting people down gently, or don’t try to because of trauma, but it’s still unlikely to ruin her day if it’s done with real respect, imo.
Guys that do ask think the worst they can do is say no. Guys that don't ask often had worse experiences than just saying no.
On the dating thing, just even acknowledging that it might be awkward, or uncomfortable, can go a long way like "...if you don't want to, or don't feel that it's appropriate, I fully understand." As a neurodivergent person who finds all conversations uncomfortable, I have always hedged any approach, even with long time friends. Heck even with my husband, after almost 20 years, I might suggest we watch a movie tonight, but "no worries if you've got something you want to get done, we can plan to watch it another time". Basically I just always make room for the fact that I'm not the protagonist in a videogame, and other people can have plans, or not be interested, or whatever. The more you can demonstrate that you are a reasonable person, the less worried people need to be that you're a violent jerk.
PS: Beau you are really good at this, so much thoughtful advice!
civil wars always are, always have been, and always will be awful, the idea that one would be in any way desirable terrifies me
No, Taylor won't set herself up for the Madden Curse

Please share pics of your pupper! I lost my sweet GSD last year to lymphoma. You are right, they remain puppies with no idea how big they are. She was a white GSD & before she got sick, weighed 115 lbs. Still retained her "puppiness" even though she was 8 years old.

cutting up and carting off a 200 foot tower in the middle of the night wins the Methy Award, this year.
I always assumed the united states' version of a civil war would be more like the troubles in N.ireland
That’s what I thought too. As soon as I heard Yugoslavia I felt nauseous. I’m still feeling pretty unsettled and searching through the comments for…I don’t know what…somebody to tell me they disagree? Hope? I remember hearing accounts from women who survived. It was some of the most horrific accounts of violence I’ve ever heard. The fact we are even talking about that as a possibility makes me want to throw up.
That's a possibility. However, the side committing the violence isn't going to have legitimate cause. It'll probably be more like the Middle East having to deal with Daesh (ISIS), women, children and any minorities having much to fear.
I'd look to those hooded men on horses right after 1865 and how much harm they caused.
Very much comparable to the Troubles, I think - but only in the asymmetric warfare angle.
Guys - don't even chase your whiskey. LMAO😂
It's always a good day when you can take a trip down the roads with Beau! 👋✌️
When I was young... a loonngg time ago, a guy at work asked me out, and I said, "Thank you for asking, but no." He didn't ask if I was seeing someone or had a reason... he let loose with angry insults. The manager found out from other employees and fired him.
I used to get stroked from guys behind me in line. Usually, just stepping forward stopped the insult. Once, I was bumped repeatably by a jerk's crotch. When I whirled around fists clenched, it was an older, smiling, skinny guy about a foot shorter than me. I growled. He lost the grin and hurriedly stepped back. I glared at the watching guys in line behind him and snarled, "What the hell?!" They lost their smiles, and I stomped out of the restaurant. Now that I'm grey-haired, I'm ignored... a relief.
I don't expect guys to hold the door open for me or to not curse in every sentence. But, internally, I sigh at the waste of time and effort to pick out the point of their communication... usually, it's just whining.
Once in a while, I run across a guy who can communicate and wants to do so without condescending or cursing. Such a delight!

If it isn't someone I'm interested in, it immediately spikes my anxiety and I'll have the jitters for a while. Maybe an hour or two, maybe the rest of the day, maybe longer, depending on the particulars of the situation. Being asked out is indeed a trigger for some people. So my answer to the asker, on top of what Beau said, is to make it explicitly clear that it will be fine if the woman says no.
Knowing that you recognize the issue and the assurance that you won't punish her will probably do a lot to mitigate the anxiety. The one time I've had a guy friend ask me out and NOT punish me afterwards for saying no was very healing for me. It doesn't take away the trigger, but I'm more confident that saying "no" isn't *wrong* and I feel even more secure in that friendship than I did before. So if she does say no, if you're gentle and understanding, it may end up being a good thing in the long run that she had a safe experience with rejection, whether you're friends or just acquaintances / just met. (And then again, it may not -- someone with the same trigger may process things very differently than I do. Everyone's brain wiring from genetics and experience is unique to them. 😔 But a little bit of risk is unavoidable and it's not unethical of you to ask.)
your take on another civil war is spot on. those clamoring for it have NO IDEA just how bad it would be. they have no concept of just how hideous it would be. i've read too many war books to ever want to see war anywhere.
Beau definitely has to get the dog and Marilyn on video and share it with us.
Howdy there Beau & Internet People 👋🏻🥰
Hope everyone's weekend is going well. ❤
❤ Enjoy your Sunday! ❤
