@Anna, in Texas?!?!
No, in Washington State but I imagine there is a lot of the same sentiment in Texas right now. In WA, like OR, we have been targetted for our Blue shores, especially reports of ICE endangering previously calm waves. WA DC not hap…
The people across the street just put up a big poster on their fence that says "Make Lying Wrong Again". I'm thinking they probably used it in the No-Kings March.
I got the same email. Since I already have both login.gov and id.me accounts, I didn't worry about the email. I just logged into ssa.gov and looked around. I already set my communications to non-paper and didn't see anything new or needing attentio…
Well, once you shutdown the government and arrange a tarrif to Argentina laundering service, there isn't much left to do to entertain yourself. Maybe the second terms are endless retirement parties.
If the imprudent actions of one man threaten our leadership in the world,
perhaps he should be deported/exiled to Eswatini?
WOW. The government sounds like the one we have been having here. Their constitution allows a lot of just ignoring what it e…
Found the soon to go away school lunch budget that 20B might have funded. Guess they will find it in the fed worker salary line item and play more delete: "The estimated 2025 federal budget for the National School Lunch Program is $17.4 billion, wit…
I grew up seven miles west of Leland. My heart breaks for them. One usually thinks of Leland as the quiet zone on the border of Greenville. Povery is really high now in the entire area. Guns are just household furnishings. Five or more per household…
@Crash We don't seem to have a Allah Mighty that cares about justice. Our Mighties seem to be defocused else and every-where. I am more confident about predicting the plans for the mid-terms. I am confident that, even if the House changes hands, the…
I don't understand people's confidence about the outcome of flimsy to non-valid charges nowadays. If the government can shop around for a prosecutor to bring the charges, I see no reason to assume the courts cannot be likewise manipulated. (I have n…
Could someone please explain to me where the Consitutional Order of things can be found within the Constitution or a document that supersedes the Constitution. If the later, is there a link to the superseding, Constitutionally enacted, document?
How much are we paying the government to word police the military and civil service. I want my money back. Even I can find a more productive use for it. Geez, I am helping pay for this?
I seem to be the only one concerned about putting a large number of the defense leadership of the United States in the same location. Isn't that rather risky in terms of unnecessary risk of, maybe remote but real, deadly consequences. Losing the mil…
“the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray”. Most of my family died by age 70, including my older cousins. My sister lived to be 74 but that was after my planning. Most of my husband's family lived past 90. The problem was that I was the h…
Yea, I've had share price scare me away many times even if it makes no sense. It is just the feel. It feels like getting 10 t-shirts for $100 each instead of 200 t-shirts at $5 each (which "feels" like a fuller closet). Of course, the analogy is ver…
I'll be honest. Before he was shot, I never even heard of Charlie Kirk. Chances are, neither had Netanyahu. Even if he had, I rather doubt he obsessed on him. I suspect Kirk was presumably rising but really not top tier important until recently mart…
Since everyone is taxed by governments, governments should afford equal rights, opportunities, representation, voting rights, etc. to everyone. Sex, race, orientation, religion etc. have nothing to do with the "who" pays taxes and should have nothin…
@Old_Joe Maybe we can organize an over-75 Antifa of our very own. That if you have the vaguest idea what Antifa terrorists organizations do when they exist virtually and vicariously in the dark web ether of the Internet.
So he didn't actually say anything directly about Kirk??? The quotes indicate they switched the focus to saying something negative about the President. Color me confused unless the whole thing was to stop the media from reporting anything negative …
I've followed several links to the show that got him fired. I have found nothing all that bad. Does anyone have a link to the portion of his show that upset the government so badly?
I am in one of those states. But, since I am surprised to wake up every morning, if the guinea pig program pre-kills me, so be it. That is not what I am thinking. I am thinking about the effect of current events like decreased Medicaid including end…
@Mark This NYT article seems to answer your questions with a yes and, then again, no. It may be a product of our outdated immigration policies and procedures that don't adequately accommodate foreign investment in factories and jobs inside the US. M…
It is not the end of WWII, there are alternative markets now. America's wealth is still advantageous, but not critical, to the emerging economies worldwide.
Is it just me or do all things working class have far lower cutoffs than all things investment class? People with working class retirement income and a little deferred savings in RMD get little from the BBB. I, for one, got nothing.
When does the stock market admit that the future is not so bright for US companies? Latest jobs report not painting a good picture.
Is it just a super pump up with everyone thinking they can time the moment of the collapse? How can one time a slowl…
