    Leftau, we moved since you have been out carrying water for the Democrats and Joe Biden.

    "Now with Biden as President we could have Bombs, drugs or no telling coming in with these so called undocumented future Democrats.

    Now read again the statement I made regarding the border and what they might be carrying across. Nowhere did I make a definite statement as to there being bombs carried in, nor did I say there were the most drugs carried in. Your demand stems from being unable to read and understand what you just read.

    The fact is we have no idea what all they are carrying across the border. And you have been such an advocate of Covid Vaccinations, why are you not concerned about these people coming in? Can you tell us for a fact that they are all carrying a vaccination card and have been vaccinated and are not carriers? Will you try to tell us that we can be assured of their health while they are being scattered about through the country in the dead of night?

    And as a start, learn to read and understand what you read before you start jumping to conclusions.

    Kapeesh??

  • Mr. VanGennip,

    Perhaps you can find something Trump was right about...

    He was wrong about covid-19.

    He was wrong about Russia

    He was wrong about NATO.

    He was wrong about his economy being the greatest ever.

    He was wrong about North Korea.

    He was wrong about election fraud.

    He was wrong about "fake news."

    He was wrong about Ukraine.

    He was wrong about his crowd size.

    Need more?

  • Mr. Braswell,

    No reason for concern. Were it possible to run all of the posts from all IV of Mr. VanGennip's threads through a "fact check seive" to strain out the truth, we'd find that 90% of the content would be flushed away. Then if you flushed out the irrelevant and extraneous comments, there'd be precious little rational commentary left.

    Concerned about the guardianship for low-cost energy - it's what makes us run and be more competitive with those areas having lower labor costs in a global market.

    Won't deny the need to transition to renewable and lower-carbon power...but raising the costs of current sources to make the costs of preferred sources more attractive until they figure things out, at the current rates of transition - just don't see this ending well.

    Energy intensive industries employing thousands will seek to produce in areas with lowest cost per unit as delivered to the loading docks of their customers. If labor is already higher, energy costs aren't far behind, and shipping in bulk across the globe is reasonable - goodbye jobs and related trickle-down benefits.

    Would hope the hollerin's with gasoline, electric, and natural gas prices and rates on immediate qualities of life might get more to be vocal about just holding up there on the current directions...

    Water Boy, I believe my statement was clear enough. Most people I know who have a real education rather than just a piece of paper hanging on the wall are able to understand me with no problem whatsoever. Once your lack of reading comprehension was pointed out you spout off on a litany of presumed Trump inadequacies which had no bearing whatsoever on this discussion. We are talking about Joe Biden's hole in the wall which is allowing thousands of illegals into the country. Not undocumented Lefty, illegal, is that clear enough. You know, the hole that Trump had plugged and Joe Biden uncorked with a stoke of his pen. Did he inherit that pen from your boy Obama?I learned to read and comrehend in about the first grade. It was Dick and Jane. Kind of went this way.

    Dick

    See Dick

    See Dick Run

    Jane

    See Jane

    See Jane Run

    I could comprehend that even in the first grade. Perhaps I could find you an Old Dick and Jane primer in an Antique Shop somewhere. It might not be too late to teach you reading comprehension even at this advanced age Uly.

    Jack and Jill followed once we had Dick and Jane aced. I could comprehend and get a mental picture of Jack and Jill tumbling down that hill even in first grade.

    And staying on subject was something else we were taught at an early age. Obviously, they never taught you or you couldn't comprehend that either as this Litany of BS had Zip, Zero, Nada to do with the Southern Border that Trump had closed and Biden opened to our detriment.

    "Perhaps you can find something Trump was right about...

    He was wrong about covid-19.

    He was wrong about Russia

    He was wrong about NATO."

    etc, etc, etc.

    Next I suppose we will get a rendition of what you think was wrong with Trump's solution. You know, the one the Supreme Court told Biden to reinstate.

    Now, I will stand ready to read a repeat of your off the wall unrelated BS.

    Why did Joe Biden open the Southern Border with a stroke of his pen?

    And be careful how you answer it because I have a follow up question to ask if you give an excuse instead of an answer.

    Hopefully that is clear enough that even you can understand it Leftau.

  • The southern border is not open. Over a million illegals have been turned away.

    Unaccompanied children have not been.

    US law allows entry for asylum seekers to present their case to a court.

    Claiming the southern border is "open" as in implying that every single person is allowed in is a republican/conservative fable.

    "Ironic a Sioux is a legal immigrant , no ?"

    My opinion it is a travesty of justice for starters. And I certainly have a problem getting my head wrapped around it.

    Another travesty is the BS one has to go through to migrate here from a European Country.

    Years of waiting, filling out forms, then finally getting drawn in a lottery and you are on your way. But you must be carrying money to show you can support yourself and go file for Social Security among other things. And then your status is permanent visa, the citizenship paperwork is yet to come. Here we have educated people with the wherewithal to support themselves and with Uncle Joe's open border you can come in with no paperwork, no money, possibly with drugs on you or Covid and we will at taxpayer expense haul your *rse around the country, put your kids in school and see to it that you have an income.

    And then you have a Leftist on here tell us that the border is not open. So if it is not open it is closed, right, or is it just open a wide crack a few hundred miles long.

    While I am still on my stump, I will anticipate the refugee resoponse. What are these people refugees from, poverty would be my guess, because they allow a few people in government to run their lives. They might want to take a lesson from the Ukrainians. Stand up for yourself. I have been in Mexico and listened to people talk about how corrupt government is and how poor they are. Why do they tolerate it? It is my understanding that Mexico is richer in natural resources than the United States is. If so, is a legitimate question, why are the bulk of their people so damed poor?

  • The most recent crackdown on legel immigration was by your favorite president.

    Biden should be able to fix that if Congress comes up with a comprehensive immigration law for him to sign.

  • Mr. VanGennip,

    Surely you recall the "great administrator" (your words) and the 11th commandment credited by some to Trump, "Thou shalt have no other 'favorite' President before me."

    Also his "fix" was only valid because of Covid-19 and clearly did not apply to children.

    "and the 11th commandment credited by some to Trump, "Thou shalt have no other 'favorite' President before me.""

    Not familiar with that one either, but the "credited by some" portion of you statement indicates to me that you do not know who said it, or what you are talking about.

    Come on Water Boy, you made a couple of assertions and now you cannot seem to find proof.

    I will help you out....

    1.) I never called Trump a great administrator. I stated that he was a better administrator than Biden. Don't remember my exact words, but that was gist of it. And I know dozens of people over the years who are better administrators that that swamp angel. The man never held a real job, he has been a third rate politician his entire working life, with the possible ezception o a couple of years of being a no name attorney.

    2.) And two, thou shalt have no favorite President before me nonsense "credited by some".

    My advice to you Water Boy is get your facts straight before you let your fingers do the walking on the keyboard, because unlike you, I have decent reading comprehension and will call you out on your errors.

    This comprehension thing Water Boy, did you ever have to do the diagraming of sentences in English class? I did it, but I hated it with a purple passion.

    I will confess to nothing until I see those words in that order in a post I made. In other words Water Boy, what I am saying to you is put up or shut up.

    I definitely remember stating that Trump was a better administrator than Biden, which should be obvious to all.

    Has nothing to do with anything Water Boy. Further, since there is no sources shown, I will assume those to be your opinions, which along with somewhere around $5 I am told, since I don't drink the stuff, will get you a fine cup of coffee at Starbucks.

    Where is your proof of the stuff you are trying to hand on to me as saying? Keep digging!

    My statement regarding Trump being a better administrator than Biden was and still is my opinion. Joe Biden is suffering from a mental problem, that should be obvious to anyone. Consequently he should not be in the position of administering the office of the most powerful person in the free world, President of the United States of America.

    As a well known Democratic President once said, "The Buck Stops Here".

    What you are encouraging Water Boy, is "Pass The Buck".

    Biden screwed up the Southern Border, which was under reasonable control when he took office,

    Personal Opinion, he was not the one to think of it, it was a string puller and Biden did as instructed, to our detriment. Did they do it to smear Trump's Legacy, I suspect they did. Did they succeed? No, they actually drew attention to the fact that Trump had things pretty well under control, not perfect, but acceptable. And Biden is going on record as the one to have screwed it up with a stroke of the pen. You know Lefty, that old, I have a phone and a pen thing from Obama? Well obviously Biden used them. Question is, who was the string puller that caused it to happen. I don't think Biden thought of it, hell he couldn't tell his wife from his sister even before then.

  • "...smear Trump's legacy..."

    Really? What is there to smear?

    His insurrection?

    His big lie?

    His kow-towing to Putin?

    His complete failure to recognize and handle covid-19?

    His meager economic growth?

    His trying to undermine NATO?

    His failure at deficit reduction?

    His embrace of KimJungUn at the expense of South Korea?

    His unconditional surrender to the Taliban?

  • Finally something I can get on board with Biden:

    �Because it goes to a very fundamental principle of all nations, which is that our borders should be inviolate, that our sovereignty should be respected..."

    Well,heck,thought he was talking about the USA southern border. He was talking about Ukraine. Keep those Jotater night flights in the air.

    Very simple, the Southern Border, under Trump's policies, which Biden with a stroke of his pen canceled out and which the Supreme Court ordered Biden to restart or reset whatever best suits the situation.

    I don't wander all over the globe trying to distract from the subject like you just did and have a habit of doing to distract from a situation you know is out of control and you have no answer for. All falls under, don't let your mouth oveload your *rse.

    After you Little Man, still waiting for your charge from yesterday to be proven.

    Oh what the hey....

    How about your theory that Trump was planning on just leaving NATO if he received a 2nd term?

    That was not an agenda at all. His plan was to make the freeloaders pay up. Quite frankly I like that. I don't like paying taxes to pay the bills of freeloaders and that goes from everything such as Americans who will not take a job but would rather live on government handouts to Nations who will not pay their fair share.

    Here are some facts for you Water Boy that dispute your ridiculous claim that Trump was going to just arbitrarily pull out of NATO.

    Now your turn Lefty, show where I said that Trump was a "Great Administrator" rather than a better one than our current President.

  • "I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J Trump�s Catastrophic Final Year is a behind-the-scenes account of Mr Trump�s last year in the White House, authored by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig.

    In an excerpt published in the Washington Post, Mr Trump is said to have lost the confidence of Defense Secretary Mark Esper. According to the book, Mr Esper confided in colleagues that he was rooting for Joe Biden to win the election because he believed he cared about national security.

    �Esper couldn�t say the same about Trump. In fact, Trump had privately indicated that he would seek to withdraw from Nato and to blow up the US alliance with South Korea, should he win reelection. When those alliances had come up in meetings with Esper and other top aides, some advisers warned Trump that shredding them before the election would be politically dangerous.

    �Yeah, the second term,� Trump had said. �We�ll do it in the second term.�

    Leftau, I would try but not sure there is a 23th.

    If you mean 23rd, would you like to give me a hint on what thread you are talking about?

    "Proven Administrator", is that what you are going to hang your hat on instead of what you were originally try to charge me with.

    You would have to be a total id:ot to suggest that Trump is not a proven administrator. The man has earned billions, would you go so far as to suggest that he was not a proven administrator to be able to do that. It would have nothing to do with some of his questionable methods with bankrupticies etc. He has proven he can play the game and do it legally.

    I still would like to see the thread for the exact context of what was said.

    A couple of things Lefty,

    First you keep repeating that Trump fouled up on handling Covid. But Biden was handed vaccines and still has more deaths on his watch than Trump had. First not buying your repeated assertions that are simply your own opinions.

    But even if it were true, show me a man who has never made a mistake and I will show you one who has never done anything.

    Now to the gist of your Administrator hangup. What thread are we talking about. I didn't make the charge and have things to do, and you didn't post what you were speaking of.

    As a thought for you Water Boy, I spent a good part of my life in signing checks not only on the back but on the front as well. And if I had not become a pretty fair judge of character and ability I would have failed miserably.

  • At the end of his administration, we had suffered about 20 to 25% of the world's cases and deaths with about 4.5% of the world's population, while at the same time having the best medical expertise and science available.

    This is attributable to the failure of the president to protect our population by administering mitigation and prevention measures.

    Instead of enforcing masking, testing, contact tracing, isolation and social distancing, he said it was just one person from China and it would go away. That's failure as an administrator. Buying and selling real estate has nothing to do with successfully administering the federal government.

    Since you keep yammering on about what was wrong with Trump's approach to the pandemic. Which was new and we haven't had anything close to it in over 100 years... how do you account for Biden's failure to control it after being handed a couple of vaccines to fight it and a promise to end it he couldn't keep.

    At least show a little common sense in your appraisal of a situation, instead of being nothing but the mouthpiece of a party's talking points.

    How did he fail?

    Did he tell people to not worry, it'll go away? No.

    Did he discourage Americans from getting vaccinated? No.

    Did he claim that masks don't work? No.

    Did he prevent companies, hospitals, schools, communities or businesses from mandating vaccines? No.

    Actually he did about the opposite of each.

    Does it not strike you as unusual that about 90% of the deaths during the Biden administration were unvaccinated individuals. He did everything possible to get shots in arms.

    Wonder how many unvaccinated Americans that died had a last thought, "I should have listened to Biden."

    Once we leave the health of Americans to the medical profession instead of politicians, we will all be better off.

    Presidents should help the medical profession not direct it. And that goes for both sides. When the medical professional needs help, the politicians should stand by to provide that help instead of making less than educated promises of what they can do if elected.

    �Actually it really should matter to Trump�s supporters that their champion does not seem to understand how the constitutional process works�if, that is, they actually want to accomplish any of their stated goals. For anyone who still cares about such petty matters as separation of powers and representative democracy, it might be instructive to see just how far our country�s chief executive is from understanding them.�

    -- Posted by Rick Lettau on Tue, Mar 8, 2022, at 2:03 PM

  • More pesky little facts...

    Inflation is not caused by Presidents. It�s always been a supply and demand issue. In this case Covid reduced supply while at the same time increasing personal savings and thereby demand.

    As explained above, deaths under Biden were a result of the pandemic of the unvaccinated.

    Vaccine mandates were not issued without the allowance for a testing alternative. Neither is �unconstitutional.� The Constitution doesn�t address vaccinations but does recognize national emergencies.

    The federal budget deficit was ignored by Trump and now by Congress.

    The Afgan surrender was initiated and approved by Trump. Withdrawal was inevitable when the US strength was reduced in December of 2020. US citizens wanting to leave have done so. There are not 500 USA citizens behind now. The $83 billion of usable military equipment had already been turned over to the Afghan Army.

    North Korea was clearly emboldened during Trump's term as evidenced by their �love letters.�

    President made a point of not resupplying Ukraine military needs until he got �dirt� on candidate Biden. Trump did not �give� thousands of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles along with the Javelin anti-tank missiles.

    The Democrats did not defund the police. Making minor changes on some forces is not defunding.

    ��while telling NATO to pay up with their dues�� even though NATO members had already been doing so. The 2% military funding target is not for dues, it is for national forces to strengthen NATO reserve forces. Trump still doesn�t know the difference and would probably gladly have withdrawn from NATO to help Putin.

    Welcome to the real world.

    Water Boy, whatever Schaefer thinks about President is up to them. What is obvious is, you must think Trump is still President. You started your criticism of him in November of 2016 and you are still obsessed with him 1 year, 1, month, 2 weeks and 2 days after he left office, give or take a little there.

    You rail on about how Trump doesn't understand how government works. If so it must be catching because Biden didn't understand that he was not given dictatorial powers when he became President. Example his Covid Vaccine Mandates. Trump was far from perfect, but he could run circles around this circus act we have in the White House now.now.

There is no place for them in a free society. The President of this country is not given the ability to make law. That is Congress's job and the President to either accept or reject it.

  • The "mandate" had only 2 parts. In consideration of the ongoing public health emergency, individuals having contact with the public or large numbers of coworkers had a choice.

    If they felt the vaccination was too intrusive, they had the option of regular testing. Why would anyone object to testing that was for their own safety?

    Neither one of those options are any more a case of "freedom denial" than having to wear a seat belt on company property.

    Resigning from the job is a personal choice.

  • Let me know when you've read the article on the Just Security site.

    It has mostly factual information.

    Here's the bottom line...

    Biden's visit to Ukraine was in 2016 on Jan 21st at which he supposedly made his, "...leaving in 6 hours...SOB they fired him..." statement.

    The problem is that they didn't fire him them. The Ukrainian Parliament dismissed him on March 29th.

    So Biden bragged, embellished, or exaggerated in his story as there was no PQP. The dates contradict the Trump conspiracy theory.

    Water Boy, I haven't defended Trump's mouth. In fact I have stated that it was his biggest problem.

    Has nothing to do with his ability to administrate and assign responsibility to capable people.

    Unlike Biden's assigning responsibility to Hyena Harris.

    She has done literally nothing of value to date and the part that is even scarier than Biden as President would be to wake up and find her in charge, with Pelosi waiting in the wings.

    And we have 2 years and approximately 10 months to go. God please continue to look after America and the world in these troubling times and less than competent leadership.

    -- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, Mar 9, 2022, at 11:06 AM

  • "...and assign responsibility to capable people."

    Do you not realize how many capable people he fired (or they resigned) because they weren't sufficiently compliant with his personal whims that had nothing to do with competent management nor administration.

    A perfect example was his foolhardy and dangerous withdrawal from the 6 Party Iran deal. The deal as executed prevented Iran's nuclear ambitions. Virtually all of the truly capable people at that time spoke strongly against it. He got out and got absolutely nothing for it and Iran can now press on to get closer to making a nuclear device, and we have no rational path to prevent it.

    More of your shortage of comprehension Water Boy! I have explained to you before but you cannot seem to get it between your ears, Employees are hired and fired in a business or other enterprise environment by an owner or their personnel department. In the case of government oficials at top levels they are elected by eligible voters. A huge difference Uly, even if you cannot get your feeble brain wrapped around it. Other than using the impeachment process, non election, resigning, not running for election or not been elected or re-elected is the way you either reject or get rid of an elected official. The lying Democrats made three attempts at impeachment and each one was rejected and the assumed guilty party was found not guilty..

    Quotes When Nothing Is Being Quoted

    by Michael Kandel

    "Authors often use quotation marks when nothing is being quoted. The marks may indicate irony, skepticism, derision�as such, they are sometimes called scare quotes. They distance an author from a term: �Others say this, but I wouldn�t.� Example: �Bob experienced the �catastrophe� of having his tooth pulled.� Bob may have thought it was a catastrophe, but the author of the sentence is letting us know that she does not.

    "Such distancing is particularly important when a topic is politically sensitive: authors do not want their readers to think, even for a moment, that they endorse a racist or sexist opinion that they are describing or giving an account of.

    "Quotation marks may also suggest that the term so singled out has a sense slightly different from what is usually meant by it. Example: �Bob wore his usual �suit� to the interview.� The author of the sentence is suggesting that it was not actually a suit. Perhaps Bob pulls out the same threadbare, rumpled blazer whenever he needs to dress up. Or perhaps Bob only ever wears a hoodie and jeans�his version of business attire."

    As I showed you before, the above is a recognized rule, and says quotes on a single word should be avoided.

    However neither follow the rules I learned in school a few years ago. Quotation marks were supposed to be used for quotations. So is it correct to take the rules applied to the language and change them at will to suit your purpose? I don't think so.

    At any rate it doesn't matter, you are very loose with your so called facts on most other things, why would I expect any different here.

    So the bottom line here is this, you finally appear to recognize how our elections work and realize that Trump was not fired, merely not re-elected.

    So we are gaining a little ground in your education here at the very least. You don't need to thank me, I just like to see things correctly instead of slanted.

  • "... you finally appear to recognize how our elections work..."

    Sorry to disappoint you but I have known all along how elections work.

    The use of the term "fired" is even more appropriate as his game show famously ended with him blasting someone with "you're fired. (That's as I understand it, never having watched it.)

    But just so you understand that I understand. Former President Bush 41 was not re-elected, former President Trump was "fired" by the American people.

    Recall one additional factor, normally firing is associated with incompetence.

  • It should not be that confusing, provided you apply the standard level of reading comprehension.

    The first post was simply a list of major issues that Trump was wrong about.

    The second was a response to Mr. Braswell�s statement that Vice-President Harris was my primary favorite. The primary race that she would be involved in would be the 2024 democratic Presidential race. I had previously gone on record stating that I did not support neither the President nor the Vice-President running again.

    I said specifically that I favored Steve Bullock, Tim Ryan or Robert O�Rourke for the nomination. Therefore, for Mr. Braswell make up a story about Harris, when I had already excluded her from my preferences, amounts to an untruth, or in conservative terms, a lie.

    As for your �rules,� they�ve been used often before with reference to AF Chief Master Sergeants, conservatives, even Trump. The point is that I�m not always right, any more than you�re always wrong.

    In this case your confusion stems from linking unrelated issues, such as Trump being wrong about so many things and Braswell�s fabrication. And the response is yes and yes, what�s your point.

    "So let me get this straight. It takes between 21 to 35

    days for a Russian oil tanker to get to US ports to be offloaded. It takes between 35 and 60 days

    for a tanker from the Middle East to make the same trek.It takes about 10 hours to load the tanker

    and up to 24 hours to unload. If it has to wait in port to get to an unloading dock,it can take up

    to 3 days.The average tanker

    burns 2,625 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. 22.38 pounds of C02 are created from burning 1gallon

    of diesel fuel. So, in one hour,a tanker ship hauling oil to a refinery in the US creates 58,757.5

    pounds of C02 per hour. Averaging the travel time of the tankers,

    that's 27.67 million tons of C02 per trip.In comparison, your car creates between 6 and 9 tons per

    year. Without going into all the equations of how many tankers come to the US per year, let alone

    our exports, will someone please explain to me how drilling our own oil and moving it through

    pipelines, along with importing oil from Canada via pipeline will not be more

  • Mr. VanGennip,

    It appears fairly obvious that don�t fact check your contributions, you should, especially when they�re from whacko right wing sites like deepstatetribunal.

    For example�

    Your link states, �The president decided that removing troops from the nation ahead of evacuating U.S. citizens and allies was a good idea.�

    The facts show that in March 2020, when Trump approved his unconditional surrender to the Taliban, we had about 14500 troops in country. The surrender plan required us to reduce to about 8500 by August 2020, and we could remain there until the surrender was consummated.

    Trump unilaterally reduced strength to 4500 by November and then to about 2500 by December. Thereby he also prevented us from retaining Bagram AB.

    He even wanted to reduce strength to zero by mid-January, but the military refused to comply.

    So you see that "the President" was Trump. Biden had to return troops to successful conduct the evacuation of about 120,000 Americans and allies.

    Leftau, if you would simply quit trying to tie every Biden mistake to Trump we might take you seriously. Joe Biden became President on January 20, 2021 and every mistake since then is owned by Joe Biden and no one else. If Joe and the Military could not see a safe and orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan they should have rethought the whole issue and done something about it before screwing it all up and having to hop around on one foot trying to get their balance again.

    Things were under control in Afghanistan prior to Biden's botched retreat where he took the military out before the civilians and also leaving billions of dollars worth of military equipment for the Taliban.

    If the military is in charge of preventing a President from doing something stuquid, then why didn't they stop Biden and prevent that embarrassment in front of the world.

I was not there but this is the way I heard it. Do you also dispute the fact that the whole withdrawal process was a huge Fiasco on the part of the Biden Administration or would you try to present it in glowing terms as a huge success and it is all Trump's fault. As I remember it, Trump was not President for well over 90 days and if things were left so badly by Trump, and he couldn't handle it why did Biden assume the office of the Presidency on Jan 20, 2021?

    War in Afghanistan (2001�2021)

    The United States Armed Forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021, marking the end of the 20-year long war in Afghanistan. In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban, without participation by the Afghan government, signed the Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan, also known as the Doha Agreement,[7] which provided for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan in return for a Taliban pledge to prevent al-Qaeda from operating in areas under Taliban control, and future talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government for a permanent ceasefire.[8]

    As part of the Doha Agreement, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments.[9] At the start of the Biden administration, there were 2,500 US soldiers in Afghanistan and, in April 2021, Biden said the US would not begin withdrawing these soldiers before 1 May, but would complete the withdrawal by 11 September.[10][11] The Taliban began a final offensive on 1 May and, on 8 July, Biden specified a new completion date of 31 August.[12][13] There were about 650 US troops in Afghanistan in early August 2021, tasked with protecting Hamid Karzai International Airport and the US embassy in Kabul.[14][15] NATO's Resolute Support Mission concluded on 12 July 2021[16] while US intelligence assessments estimated as late as July that Kabul would fall within months or weeks following withdrawal of all American forces from Afghanistan, though the security situation deteriorated rapidly.[17][18]

    The US also launched Operation Allies Refuge to airlift the United States translators and selected Afghan citizens considered at risk of reprisals and US Forces Afghanistan Forward was established on 7 July 2021 as a successor command overseeing the evacuation of all US diplomatic, security, advisory, and counter-terrorism personnel remaining in the country after the withdrawal of US troops. On 12 August 2021, following continued Taliban victories across Afghanistan, the Biden administration announced that 3,000 US troops would be deployed to Kabul Airport to evacuate embassy personnel, US nationals and Special Immigrant Visa applicants.[19][20] With the rapid advance of the Taliban in the provinces, on 14 August the US increased its troop commitment to 5,000.[21] On 15 August, with the fall of Kabul, another 1,000 troops were deployed,[22] and on 16 August, another 1,000 troops were deployed, bringing the total number of troops to 7,000. The last US military planes left Kabul airport at 11:59 p.m. Kabul time on 30 August 2021.[23]

    Following the U.S. withdrawal, around one thousand U.S. citizens and Afghans holding U.S. or other visas were held up by the Taliban with the U.S. government not authorizing their departure.[24][25] On 28 and 29 September 2021, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and United States Central Command (CENTCOM) commander Gen. Frank McKenzie were among the numerous Defense Department officials who denied during Congressional testimonies President Biden's previous claim that his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was because of advice from senior U.S. military leaders and stated that they had in fact advised him to keep some troops in Afghanistan.[26][27]"

    Water Boy, you may call it what you like. But if it was not satisfactory to Biden and you Dims. he had every opportunity to change it. But then what might his trying to get a new agreement come out to be, since he couldn't even carry out an orderly withdrawal without screwing it up.

    You haven't mentioned it, but I will take your silence to mean you finally understand that Biden did remove Troops before having to take Troops back in.

    When Biden took office there were 2500 Troops in Afghanistan.

    "There were about 650 US troops in Afghanistan in early August 2021, tasked with protecting Hamid Karzai International Airport and the US embassy in Kabul.[14][15]"

    Water Boy did Biden remove these Troops as Commander In Chief or did they all desert.

    And as a bit of information for you Water Boy, there was no Surrender signed on Afganistan. That is just a Democratic Talking Point that water carriers for the Democrats like yourself mimic like a bunch of Zoo critters. (Google Friendly)

    What the republicans did by limiting their nominees to white, young and against freedom of choice, was in fact a travesty.

    By excluding older judges, they were in effect, limiting their candidates to the least qualified.

    PS: I don't remember race bring mentioned during the previous administration's requirements for Supreme Court Judge. That came along during the Current administration. I am calling your trying to play the race card as BS nothing less.

    So far as rule changing, I believe that started with Dirty Harry. So let's stick with facts Water Boy.

    So far as your fascination with legalizing murder of the unborn, when do we include termination of the elderly into the equation after they have reached their limits of productivity and are a burden on society? Since the Dimocrats want to pick and choose who is worth saving and who is not, when do we go full bore on it? Logically speaking Leftau, you are starting on the wrong end of the populace, the killing of the unborn could be eliminating the next great mind who will find the cure for cancer.

    There was no need. Trump had been given a list of about 30 candidates which ended up with some tokens on the last 10, "...one African-American state court judge, a Venezuelan-born federal judge and another federal judge of South Asian descent."

    Clearly he had no intention but to choose from nominees who were white, young (therefore relatively the least experienced) who were already against freedom of choice by women.

    In case Number Two it was a Republican leader of the Senate changing the rules to elect a Republican sponsored Judge and that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Why how dare they follow a pattern set by a Democrat.

  • Seems that Mr. VanGennip is the distressed and distraught individual, particularly when faced with facts and the truth. The clearest sign is his sad regurgitation of his collection of �don�t confuse me with the facts, I�ve already made up my mind� issues.

    For example�

    He�s clearly still pondering the difference between the Supreme Court of the United States with its 9 members and the federal lower courts with 861 members. In its �supreme� position, it should be the most non-partisan and impartial of all courts. Senator McConnell assured that this would no longer be the case, and confirmed his position as the least ethical senator in recent history.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    That Trump chose white justices is no surprise nor was it unpredictable. It doesn�t take a �fortune teller� to conclude that a choice of any other race would have driven off the large numbers of the white supremacist portions of his base.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    The Federalist Society�s list of nominees specifically included the youngest available with the average age of the Trump nominees being about 50. This likely assured them of long terms on the court but showed them to be the least qualified in terms of the wisdom of age and court experience.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    Trump announced: �I�ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case.� This blatantly political ploy was purely to attract votes. It had nothing to do with appointing highly qualified, non-partisan judges to the highest court. It did the opposite in finally politicizing the judicial branch of government thanks to Senator McConnell.

    I have never favored abortion, but consider it a legal medical procedure that is open to a woman�s choice. If it�s opposed on religious grounds, that�s also a personal choice, but in America religious views still cannot be forced on citizens.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    Of course AG Barr saw the Mueller Report for what it was, that�s exactly why he had to lie to America to protect Trump.

    �WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Thursday sharply rebuked Attorney General William Barr's handling of the special counsel's Russia report, saying Barr had made "misleading public statements" to spin the investigation's findings in favor of President Donald Trump and had shown a "lack of candor."

    1.) Seems that Mr. VanGennip is the distressed and distraught individual, particularly when faced with facts and the truth. The clearest sign is his sad regurgitation of his collection of �don�t confuse me with the facts, I�ve already made up my mind� issues.

    Response: Leftau when Iam looking for facts I won't be looking in your slanted direction, that is a given.

    For example�

    2.) He�s clearly still pondering the difference between the Supreme Court of the United States with its 9 members and the federal lower courts with 861 members. In its �supreme� position, it should be the most non-partisan and impartial of all courts. Senator McConnell assured that this would no longer be the case, and confirmed his position as the least ethical senator in recent history.

    Response: All courts are supposed to be non-partisan adn impartial. Are you trying to say it is ok to change the rules by a Democratic Senate and try to slant the courts with their kind of thinking but it is totally wrong for a Republican Senate to do the same thing? Try answering the question some time.

    Reid changed the rules to aassure the lower courts would be slanted with a number of judges while McConnel changed the rule to allow a single individual get seated.

    And yes I understand the court system as well as you do I would venture to say. Either position is supposed to be non-partisan.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    3.) That Trump chose white justices is no surprise nor was it unpredictable. It doesn�t take a �fortune teller� to conclude that a choice of any other race would have driven off the large numbers of the white supremacist portions of his base.

    Response: That would be your opinion of course, nothing more. It is my opinion that Slow Joe is appointing a black woman to buy votes. Prove I am wrong if you can.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    4.) The Federalist Society�s list of nominees specifically included the youngest available with the average age of the Trump nominees being about 50. This likely assured them of long terms on the court but showed them to be the least qualified in terms of the wisdom of age and court experience.

    Response: Another opinion from the out of office side of the appointing process.

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    5,) Trump announced: �I�ll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v. Wade abortion case.� This blatantly political ploy was purely to attract votes. It had nothing to do with appointing highly qualified, non-partisan judges to the highest court. It did the opposite in finally politicizing the judicial branch of government thanks to Senator McConnell.

    Response: Trump announced he would nominate a judge with a conscience while Biden announced he would nominate by color and race. While I cannot condone either, it had nothing to do with politicizing the Supreme Court. That was done long ago, in fact FDR a Democrat was the first to consider changing the number of justices to make sure he could politicize it in his favor. At least the first in my lifetime.

    6.) I have never favored abortion, but consider it a legal medical procedure that is open to a woman�s choice. If it�s opposed on religious grounds, that�s also a personal choice, but in America religious views still cannot be forced on citizens.

    Response: Leftau I oppose it on Humanitarian grounds. If it is nothing more than a legal procedure, why isn't ending a life with a knife or a gun be a legal procedure. Abortion is the stopping of a beating heart of a yet unborn human, but human non the less and legalizing it does not make it right in a civilized society

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    7.) Of course AG Barr saw the Mueller Report for what it was, that�s exactly why he had to lie to America to protect Trump.

    Response: That is another of your opinions which are worthless. My opinion you would do anything to get rid of Trump. You really should get over him having beat Hillary Clinton fair and square.

    8.) �WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Thursday sharply rebuked Attorney General William Barr's handling of the special counsel's Russia report, saying Barr had made "misleading public statements" to spin the investigation's findings in favor of President Donald Trump and had shown a "lack of candor."

    Response: Could that have been on of those politicized judges you speak of?

    ----- ---- --- -- -

    9.) Price of fuel is already going back down.

    How much has it gone up and how much has it gone down Water Boy?

    10.) If Cuomo wants to run for office, that�s his business. Anyone having supported Trump for office twice has demonstrated a total lack of judgement and has no reason to cast aspersions on anyone.

    Response: Of course Como can run. The question would be are the Democrats less bright enough to nominate him? Ao far as suporting the best of the worst in an elecion is the only way a thinking voter can go. And I can and will cast "aspersions", your 2 bit word Water Boy, on anyone if I feel he/she has earned it. Like it or not. Voting against Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden was the correct decision. Hillary Clinton is morally bankrupt as I see it and Joe Biden is incompetent. I have zero confidence in either one and would have been dishonest in my beliefs had I supported either one. Both Clinton and Biden were zeroes in my book and I could not vote for them, so I voted against them. Win some and lose some.

    DA, it's typical, you can see through him like a screen door.

    What is coming to the surface is, it is a very poor criteria for selecting a nominee when your two key requirements revolve around Gender and Race or Race and Gender, whatever you consider the first issue is. Old Slow Joe better hang around Europe for awhile if he doesn't like listening to people laughing at him. But then on the other hand, the news media in Europe seem to be doing a better job of reporting what is really happening in America than our own news media does.

    Water Boy, I have ignored your previous statements of above, because it is so childish anyone can see through it.

    When you are issued a directive to do this or choose A or B, you are being given a mandate.

    Your trying to make it look pretty changes nothing.

    If I were employed by a company I was told go get a shot or do A or B, I was issued a mandate.

    Fortuantely it did not apply to me. First I already have my shots, and second I am not employed and haven't been except by myself for well over 50 years.

    And you Leftau may as well get over trying to cover for some of the President's less that intelligent moves because you aren't gain any traction with weak excuses as in your above self styled explaination of what a mandate is.

  • As I said, it's not a "vaccination mandate" when the testing alternative exists.

    Above all it's an international public health emergency, not a Constitutional issue.

    If you want to call it a "vaccination or testing or work at home or take leave or find a new job or don't work mandate" you'd be close. Have at it.

  • Rick S.,

    "What is this Lady's experience with Constitutional Law."

    Probably no different than that of every other recent nominee. I would not believe that judges only specialize in "Constitutional Law."

    However, here's a recommendation from a professor of Constitutional law...

    "The Conversation asked Alexis Karteron, associate professor and director of the Constitutional Rights Clinic at Rutgers University Law School and a former senior attorney at the New York Civil Liberties Union, to discuss the prospect of Jackson�s serving on the highest court in the U.S.

    "What are your impressions of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and what would she could bring to the Supreme Court?

    "There are not that many Black women lawyers in the United States. We�re only about 2% of our profession. Having been in that position of being in a very small club of Black women who attend law school and become lawyers, I�m pretty excited to see one of us ascend to the very top of the profession and be nominated to join the Supreme Court.

    "Beyond that, I�m excited to see her nominated because I think she has a wealth of experience and a unique background professionally that I believe could only benefit the court�s decision-making. She�s the first person to be nominated to the court who has been a criminal defense attorney since Justice Thurgood Marshall was on the court, and he�s been off the court over 30 years now.

    "She is supremely qualified. She has not just an elite education � she went to Harvard for both college and law school � she clerked for the retiring justice whose place she will take, Stephen Breyer. Beyond that, she has been in private practice, she�s been on the U.S. Sentencing Commission and she�s been both a trial court and appellate judge. So she�s seen the profession from a variety of perspectives that will inform her decisions."

    Something to really think about.

    -IS THE SUN SETTING?

    This is the question.....there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I never thought General Motors, the once largest Corporation in the world, could go bankrupt and it did. (Not on my watch, though). I also believe Churchill was right about: "Nations that go down fighting, rise again....". We don't seem to be fighting any enemies, just each other.

    Is The Sun Setting?

    �Men, like nations, think they�re eternal. What man in his 20s or 30s doesn�t believe, at least subconsciously, that he�ll live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons. As you pass 70, it�s harder to hide from reality.

    Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever�. Forever was about 500 years, give or take.

    France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim ummah

    In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in a perpetual twilight. Its 95-year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation in terminal decline.

    In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die alone.

    I was born in 1942, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century � the American century. America�s prestige and influence were never greater. Thanks to the �Greatest Generation,� we won a World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.

    We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia, and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now COVID � maybe? We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA�the blueprint of life.

    But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved from a relatively free economy to socialism � which has worked so well NOWHERE in the world.

    We�ve gone from a republican government guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere We�ve traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.

    The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, �Dr. Jill� had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.

    We can�t defend our borders, our history (including monuments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.

    The president of the United States can�t even quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence (�You know � The Thing�) correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd Amendment and slash police budgets.

    Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they�re women. People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one race that they�re inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about �unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.�

    We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day. It�s a $28-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our �entertainment� is sadistic, nihilistic and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.

    Patriotism is called insurrection, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a dress. We�re asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.

    How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns and hand sanitizers) shows the impending death of the American spirit.

    How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?

    � Fighting endless wars they can�t or won�t win

    Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay

    Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inundated by an alien horde

    Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule

    Allowing indoctrination of the young

    Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy

    Losing national identity

    Indulging indolence

    Abandoning faith and family � the bulwarks of social order.

    In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of the disease.

    Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I�m surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected.

    This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose uniform my father, and most of my uncles, wore in the Second World War. I don�t want to imagine a world without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.

    During Britain�s darkest hour, when its professional army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, �Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished.�

  • Mr. Unknown,

    The sun sets in America everyday. It also rises every day.

    I believe things are significantly better, when you eliminate Unknown's fabricated issues, anecdotal problems and gross exaggerations.

    For example...

    Inventing "Fauci-ism" as indicative of the "...impending death of the American spirit," is particularly absurd, in light of the world-wide Covid pandemic.

    I'll stick with the sun rising.

    Now if we can rid ourselves of the current mistake America stands a chance of not having the sun set on her permanently.

    Yes Water Boy we know the sun rises and sets every day as we rotate towards it.

  • "...understand what the writer was saying."

    That's not an issue. The problem is that some are not "sharp enough" to recognize that much of what Unknown was presenting are fabricated issues.

    Good example is "mob rule" in cities...

    There are isolated short term examples in a very few cities and that's all. Even the attempt at "mob rule" in the US Capital was quickly quelled and totally unsuccessful.

    Perhaps you don't have a grasp on what is going on in some of our major cities, but you would if you paid attention. St. Louis alone has gotten to be a catch and release situation. You are having people shot and killed on a daily basis. Wake up, and if you check you will find most of those cities are under Democratic management and control. A few hour situation in DC has nothing to do with what goes on daily in way to many areas of our country.

    I would say that if you had a true grasp on what is going on you would realize that Unknown is pretty much on track. We aren't talking about rural areas and towns the size of Scopus, Water Boy.

    Fluctuations..... there are no fluctuations for the most part, unless BLM decides to hold a rally, then there is a big upsurge and it's quickly over. But the major cities are becoming a war zone with gunfire nightly in many cities. St. Louis using the Biden plan for picking a prosecutor cannot seem to get anybody of similiar race prosecuted. It is catch and release. For the few that are locked up it is then constant complaints about the accomodations not being resort like.

    Not sure what or who you're referring to, but it's very likely that you know not what you're talking about.

    In any case, I worked in St. Louis for close to 20 years primarily on airport and interstate construction but also on projects in North St. Louis that included road work, LRA projects, facility upgrade and demolition/reconstruction.

    This also included dealing with the Mayor's office and the BPS. Nowhere in the City Hall did I find the "Office of Mob Rule."

    Leftau, in any of that dealing you say you had, did it require that you be sent on emergency service alone late in the evening, into Kinloch or North St. Louis or even Berkley , west of the Airport.

    Your comment about the "Office of Mob Rule" was cute, but meaningless. Generally the druggies and the like don't have an office in City Hall, but they definitely have their areas of operation on the streets, usually only open when people like the Mayors of the various municipalities around the North county area are safely home.

    Since you want to name drop, to emphasize your importance, some of my work related projects had me dealing with the Lieutenant Governor and Governor's office as President of two state wide career related organizations. Didn't raise my pay a nickel though.

    Regarding your working in the St. Louis area for about 20 years, I have been work related in the St. Louis region for just short of 76 years. I think I have a little seniority on you all the way around Water Boy.

    Here Lefty, it appears my chart did not get posted. But since you could not seem to look it up yourself, here is a little reading material for you. Maybe you will get an idea of what Trump was talking about.

    While you are at it, maybe check into our percentage of the United Nation Budget. I think you will find we are paying 27.89% of that. Getting too close to 1/3 of the costs!

    Yes Leftau, I know 1/3 is 33.3333% Four places seems far enough to carry it out.

  • One more time...

    The 2% target for internal/national defense spending does not add money to any NATO account.

    That's exactly what you and Trump don't, or don't want to, understand. Nations being slightly below the target does not mean that the US or any nation pays more.

    It has nothing to do with NATO common funding or with what military units have been committed to NATO.

    Neither Trump nor you have a clue as to how NATO works.

    The Secretary-General of NATO was referring to individual member nations and their respective national defense budgets. From 2014, the average percentage toward the 2% goal increased during the Obama administration, the Trump administration and the Biden administration.

    What Trump did was positive, but nothing different than what other Presidents have done. Read the other thread.

    Water Boy if clarification is needed you seem to be the subject in need.

    The United States is closer to 4% than 2%. But then maybe you could not understand what some of those links told you.

    And Trump was bold enough to spell it out to then. And if are not big enough to admit it, you have been claiming Trump was all wrong, but the boots on the ground guy with NATO seems to have a firm grasp on what Trump did and the prior Presidents including your Lord and Master, Obama, overlooked or let slide and kept letting the US pay more than what they were committed to.

    You may not be man enough to admit it, but I think anybody on here can see where you were wrong with your prior condemnation of Trump for explaining to NATO where the big bear defecates in the woods.

    "Public Schools are tax payer funded , if Christianity is taught then tax the Church too"

    I agree and the same thing should go for the Islamic religion, or any other religious belief.

    Students should know there are different religions out there from Judism to the beliefs of Your People or vice versa. But that is where it should stop. It is not in the realm of what a public school should be teaching to go into detail on one or all of the religious beliefs out there.

    Got a little curiosity stirred about this and decided to do a little checking.

    Last reported lynching was March 21, 1981 in Mobile, Alabama. Yes, I can see where this is a pressing problem and we need to pull out all of the stops to make sure it doesn't happen again before the November elections. After all 41 years ago was just in the immediate past. If it hasn't been against the law to do for the past 41 years ago why hasn't it been an ongoing problem?

    No justifying the procedure, just curious about what other wasting of time goes on in DC?

    Did a little more reading and find where Biden has already signed it a few days ago. Now it is a hate crime, No efing fooling, it is a hate crime. Who would have ever guessed they were not lynching someone because they loved them?

    Water Boy, I believe it teaches racial difference and trying to confer guilt off onto white children.

    The writer in the link furnished at the bottom of this post says it much better than I ever could.

    FurtherLeftau, if it is not being taught in our public schools, why the protests to get the books out of our classrooms

    While I would never agree with the owning of one man by another, it was not all black people who were enslaved. People have been made slaves of since Biblical Times. Color was not an issue at that point because it was certainly not strictly limited to the black race.

    Nor in reality, neither was it in this country. Do you remember your history at all. Ever heard of "Bond Slaves".

    And as far as injustices, you might want to look at the way the Irish were treated in the early days of our country. I have read accounts where if there was a dangerous job to be performed, put an Irishman on the job rather than a slave, it mattered little if the Irishman was injured or killed, but a slave cost money.

    Bottom line, Slavery was wrong, always, and it did not start here!

    We had slavery, we fought a war to end it, then we had the Carpetbagger era.

    Come to think of it Leftau, check out the folllowing and see if it applies to you.

    "What is a carpetbagger?

    In the history of the United States, a carpetbagger was any person from the Northern United States who came to the Southern states after the American Civil War and was perceived to be exploiting the local populace."

    A question I have would be, how did Joe Biden aquire his wealth, without a real job? You don't become a multi-millionaire off a senator, vice-president or president's salary without selling your office and your integrity as I see it.

    https://wealthygorilla.com/joe-biden-net-worth/#forward#forward

    From the article above....

    "He served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017. Thanks to his hard work and determination, he has to stand up for himself and wen ton to become a very successful man. In 1972, he won the United States Senate election in Delaware when he was 29 years old.

    As of 2022, Joe Biden�s net worth is estimated to be roughly $9 million."

    Rick the pat answer is books and speaking engagements. Which is a hoax in my opinion. Rewards for past favors would be a better title. Do you know anyone who has ever read one of Biden's books. And who actually writes the books. Been a long time since Biden was capable of writing a book report, let alone write a book.

    According to the Water Boy and some internet articles. I have to confess, I have never held one of them and most likely never will.

    Then there is the work of "Ghost Writers" which I strongly suspect is a lot of the case of former poor men elected to office only to become wealthy.

    Can you imagine Biden writing a book in his state of mind, and so far as a future career of speech giving, he cannot read what others write accurately at this point. A tour of speech making would seem like what I think it is, payback, in Biden's case at the very least.

    And for some of you youngsters this is what has happened with inflation in our time! I happen to remember Chicken and Pork Steaks at the grocery stores for $0.19 per lb. My oldest daughter was about 4. Went to her Retirement Party yesterday.

    Thank you Joe Biden, what you could have purchased in groceries for around a $100 in just a few short months ago in history is now closer to $200.

    This is a repeat from the past, but it is a reminder of our great country.

    Once upon a time when our politicians did not tend to apologize for our country's prior actions, here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our great country.

    JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.

    DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of

    France as soon as possible.

    Rusk responded,

    "Does that include those who are buried here?"

    DeGaulle did not respond.

    You could have heard a pin drop.

    When in England , at a fairly large conference,

    Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury

    if our plans for Iraq were just an example of

    'empire building' by George Bush.

    He answered by saying,

    "Over the years, the United States has sent many of

    its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for

    freedom beyond our borders.

    The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return

    is enough to bury those that did not return."

    You

    could have heard a pin drop........Amen

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There was a conference in France

    where a number of international engineers were taking part,

    including French and American.

    During a break, one of the French engineers came back into

    the room saying,

    "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done?

    He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia

    to help the tsunami victims.

    What does he intend to do,

    bomb them?"

    A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:

    "Our carriers have three hospitals on board

    that can treat several hundred people;

    they are nuclear powered and can supply

    emergency electrical power to shore facilities;

    they have three cafeterias with

    the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day,

    they can produce several thousand gallons of

    fresh water from sea water each day,

    and they carry half a dozen helicopters for

    use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.

    We have eleven such ships;

    how many does France have?"

    You

    could have heard a pin drop.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A U.S. Navy Admiral

    was attending a naval conference

    that included Admirals from the

    U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies

    At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with

    a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

    Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks,

    but a French admiral suddenly complained that,

    whereas Europeans learn many languages,

    Americans learn only English.

    He then asked,

    "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences

    rather than speaking French?"

    Without hesitating,

    the American Admiral replied,

    "Maybe it's because the

    Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans

    arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak

    German."

    You could have heard a pin drop.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    AND

    THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

    Robert Whiting,

    an elderly gentleman of 83,

    arrived in Paris by plane.

    At French Customs,

    he took a few minutes to locate his passport in

    his carry on.

    "You have been to France before, monsieur?"

    the customs officer asked

    sarcastically.

    Mr. Whiting

    admitted that he had been to France

    previously.

    "Then you should know enough

    to have your passport ready."

    The American said,

    "The last time I was here,

    I didn't have to show it."

    "Impossible..

    Americans always have to show their passports on

    arrival in France !"

    The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.

    Then, he quietly explained,

    ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on

    D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country,

    I couldn't find a single Frenchman

    to show a passport to."

    You

    could have heard a pin drop.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If

    you are proud to be an American, pass this on!

    If not, delete it.

    I am proud to be of this land -- AMERICA

    I am proud to be an American.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA

    TOMORROW

    AND FOREVER

    LONG MAY OUR FLAG WAVE

    AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

    "...it will not just be in the US of A all due to one single person or Party..."

    You're exactly right, sadly some on here are far less capable of thinking things through.

    Some seem to believe that each President has the power to specify an inflation rate, or personally set gas prices.

    A few seem to be convinced that the US has things to apologize for regarding Ukraine or the Middle East.

    Others appear to believe that Presidents have the authority to stop or start oil companies from drilling on their own or leased land.

You don't see where Trump's policies had anything to do with us being Energy Independent when he left office and Biden immediately pulled the rug out from under Trump's policies?

    Same logic could be carried over to our mess at the Southern Border that was under control when Biden took office.

    OPEC prices follow basic supply and demand rules as interpreted by OPEC, they're not controlled by Presidential whims.

    More pesky facts...

    January 2016 - $41

    January 2018 - $85

    April 2020 - $21

    So as you can see, prices fell through the end of the Obama Administration, increased in the Trump Administration, and were driven down by the Covid 19 pandemic.

    �resistance against civil authority -- Combatting Capital police, overt criminal activity inflicting bodily harm and causing death and destructi0n�

    ��and the only thing [Joe Biden]is good at is lying and blaming others.�

    Not really. Here�s what you didn�t know, weren�t aware of, or didn�t want to mention.

    Here are a few facts for you�

    Joe Biden accomplishments as President

    2020: Elected President, with an Electoral College 306 to 232, with a popular vote margin of more than 7 million votes.

    2021: Directed USA to rejoin Paris Climate Agreement.

    2021: Halted the Keystone XL pipeline.

    2021: Repealed unneeded travel bans.

    2021: Repealed transgender military ban.

    2021: Ordered an additional 200 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

    2021: Pledged $4 billion to COVAX global vaccine alliance.

    2021: Signed $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law. It includes:

    � Small business support.

    � Increases to the Child Tax Credit, Earned-Income Tax Credit, and Child and Dependent Care Tax Credits.

    � $300 extended unemployment insurance.

    � Lower health insurance premiums for lower- and middle-income families enrolled in health insurance marketplaces.

    2021: Canceled $1.5 billion in student debt for victims of for-profit school fraud.

    2021 � Senate Passes Bipartisan Technology Bill to Compete With China

    2021: Ended the War in Afghanistan after 20 years.

    2021: Negotiated and signed the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. It includes:

    � $110 billion for roads, bridges, major projects

    � $73 billion for power infrastructure

    � $66 billion for passenger and freight rail

    � $65 billion for broadband

    � $55 billion for clean drinking water

    � $50 billion for water resilience and Western water storage

    � $39 billion for public transit

    � $25 billion for airports

    2022: Nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.

    2022: Signed the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

    As you�re likely aware, your opinion, supported as it is only by the �echo chambers� of Fox and right wing web site, is not based on the truth.

    Ok Water Boy, here you have it.

    However Biden was awarded the Presidency, he did not do it as President. November 2020 when the election was held Donald Trump was President and remained so until Jan 20, 2021.

    It is not an accomplishment of his Presidency.

    Blunders, you mean like opening up the Southern Border that Trump had under control.

    Or was it the energy independence under Trump that Biden killed that you are referring to.

    Things they don't know, like believing the southern border is "open" when it's not.

    ...or like believing our level of energy independence changed when the one-term, twice impeached former president left office. It didn't.

    Those are just two examples of your lack of knowledge. It's more than obvious that one of your favorite pastimes is swallowing RNC "grape kool-aid" and passing false information on to others.

    Water Boy, it is not RNC information that tells gave us that information. It is a fact, Biden's first two ill conceived Excutive Orders created both of those problems and if you had something besides a DNC warped brain to think with you would know that. The numbers of illegals coming in have been unbelievable. Nowhere in the civilized world do they tolerate what is happening on our southern border. And while Biden mandated American's get shots, the illegals were allowed in unvaccinated and distributed accross the counrty by our government, under Slow Joe Biden.

    You can make all of the denials you want but it doesn't change what we see happening. It is so bad that on Governor caused bus loads of them to be shipped to DC. What happened to them there, nobody seems to be reporting on that.

    I am not gullible nor am I embarasssed, I did not vote for a brain dead President.

    What I am concerned about is what is happening to our county under a party who would sell their Mother into prostitution for a vote.

    The immigration issue fluctuated under Trump because of Covid-19. Some felt the pandemic was more dangerous in the USA, and his administration used Title 42, public health law, to send people back. That's still in effect. However, our laws state that those legitimately qualified for asylum can remain in the US. Trump illegally ignored the law.

    An older contractor told me that when I was first starting business. He told me he tried and he nearly did not work his way out of it. Took him a long time to right the ship.

    First thing a Progressive wants to do is spend money we do not have.

    And people like Lettau eat that up and sing the praises of the spending plans.

    And stealing from the rich to give to people who will not work is wrong as w r ong gets.

    To anyone who cares, I will tell you what inflation is.

    In 1964 I purchased a top of the line Ford with about anything Ford put on a car. Window Sticker price was $3838.

    Price a comparable Ford today and see if you find it with a sticker price of less than $40,000.

    I took a job for $1 per hour in 1956 to help further my education. Got a better job and made $1.25 an hour for 60 hours a week straight time, no time and a half.

    Coffee was about $0.10 per cup maybe $0.15.

    Does that help you understand inflation.

    Your Grandchdren may well become millionaires and still qualify for welfare.

    And it is not all rich people's fault. They are going to keep up with inflation. They are not stoopid. And who is going to hire you, the guy with money or the guy sitting on his *** drawing unemployment and complaining how unfair the system is.

    "Wheels: My first "real" job was working during my Junior/Senior year in high school at the local shoe factory for $1.18 per hour (before taxes)."

    Semo471, My firat real job was growing up on the family farm. The pay was 3 square meals a day and a place to lay my head. The work started at about 6 years old until I graduated High School. When I became a teenager I could cut grass and paint for the Church for a meager few dollars and then I worked for neighboring farmers bucking hay bales from about 9:00, 10:00 am until dark for a great noon meal and $5.00 per day cash. The farmers loved hiring you and a couple of your buddies who competed over who was the strongest and could handle the most hay bales. Dark brought a trip to the Diversion Channel for a nice bath with the water moccasins and then we could go home and have a nice warm meal so we could get to bed and do a repeat tomorrow.

    It sure inspired me to try another profession, which with a lot of work and the Grace of God has worked out for me.

    Water Boy, I am not sure where you have been for the last few months but, reportedly investigating the January 6th situation has been going on for some time now. I know Leftists are big on investigations, they spent 4 years doing it during the Trump administration and came up with nothing.

    And as far as starters on elections, the Jan 6th situation had nothing to do with the rules and regulations, just many thought the rules were not followed. Try staying on subject and forget your obsession with Trump Water Boy.

    If you are looking for something on a different track, why not pursue some investigating the Biden situation from his days of VP and hauling his kid around the world to make deals with those who are enemies of America?

    Ans so far as admitting anything to you little man, I see no need of admitting or denying anything to you. I don't believe you will find where I made sweeping accusations or denials on anything, nor without knowledge or evidence do I see a need to. I have read a lot of BS both pro and con on the situation you speak of and have not be made privey to any inside information from anybody.

    You have spouted Big Lie like the parrot you are, but can you prove anything one way or the other, other than a he said she said, which counts for nothing? First hand information is what I am talking about.

    I will state this as clearly as I can for you since you seem to have a problem reading and then understanding what you read.

    This is the issue I brought up....

    I believe we need a set in stone set of rules for holding elections and how they are held, with no gray areas and no changing them by the majority in Congress whomever holds it based on the last election. Whatever it takes to set a rule for doing them either State by State or by Federal Regulation. This rule or State by State rules to be made and agreed to by the states just as an Amendment would be made to the Constitution. No changes, no deviations because of someone getting a **** crossways. This is it, live with it. Violate it and suffer the consequences.

    And anyone wanting to vote be properly registered with a picture ID card just as a Driver's License is handled. And they show it to get a ballot. No harvesting of ballots.... PERIOD!!

    And nobody voting from a cemetery!!

    �Every SOB who gets in power wants to change the rules to favor their party in future elections.�

    You described Trump and his minions perfectly.

    I�m sure you recall this�

    �The Washington Post has released a recording of US President Donald Trump telling Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn the election result.

    "I just want to find 11,780 votes," he [Trump] told Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

    �In the full recording, Mr Raffensperger is heard replying that Georgia's results were correct.�

    "Every SOB who gets in power wants to change the rules to favor their party in future elections."

    Leftau, pull your head out of the dark space and read what I said. Find any part of the above where I was party specific and I will retract it. My first word spells it out.

    If your reading comprehension would hit about 3rd grade level you might understand. I don't see where my statement required a long deaw out redundant treatise on Trump.

    I said "EVERY", that means all of them Democrats, Republicans, Independents.

    All of them, everyone included less than brilliant person.

    And I specifically stated for future elections.

    Had absolutely nothing to do with contesting a past election whether it be held 2 hours, 2 days or 2 years ago. That is a matter for determining if the rules were followed that existed at the time of election.

    Read the sentence until you understand it. It is not complex, it carries no hidden meanings and it pointed out no specific party or person. It was meant to be ALL inclusive.

    Is that clear enough for your small brain to grasp?

    -- Posted by Rick Lettau on Wed, May 11, 2022, at 5:43 PM

    That is a very simple easy question to answer.

    Simply quit spending money we do not generate with our tax dollars.

    Quit trying to borrow our way out of debt. It doesn't work.

    And quit printing money to pay our bills with. It makes our hard earned savings shrink in buying power.

    And you and people like you Water Boy are part of our problem. You praised and listed Biden's spending programs as a great accomplishment.

    I simply do not see it that way.

    As a business, if I borrowed money for anything, first thing, I had to show financial ability to make regular payments to reduce the debt owed and they had to be paid on a timely basis. That was the banks part of it. My issue was to first make sure it was a good sound investment that showed a return and next but not hindmost, make damned sure I could meet those obligations to my bank.

    And not to be discounted, as a small business it was not uncommon for that note to be turned over and you were required to guarantee it personally by signing it on the back, which put your hat, *** and spats on the line.

    Politicians don't have to do that to borrow money under our name and obligate our country.

    I explained that to a gentleman who was of English extraction with a very fine education and several degrees and President of the Company a number of their better customers had called to a meeting to discuss the way they were taking the company we all depended on. I finished by telling him that he and his vice presidents and sales execs only had to polish off their resume and seek another job if they tanked the company while the independent business people in the room had everything to lose. He didn't like hearing it but when I was agreed with by my peers he did understand it.

    I know you will discount all of that Leftau, but until you have been in a position of having families depend on you for a living and your name or your wife's name who is working the office too is on the front of paychecks instead of just the back you are in no real position to understand. It has been close to 60 years now that I have not signed the back of a paycheck that did not have my name or my wife's on the front as well.

    While I never did business in the amounts anywhere close to the Federal level, I learned early, money does not grow on trees and business cannot print money as government gets away with.

    We are being managed by a man who has never done anything in his life of consequence and he is given power to spend trillions. While that power is not exclusive to this President at least most, not all, having held that position have had some real life experience in management. Community Organizer wasn't a real job either.

    Rick, career politicians priority for the most part, winning the next election and lining their pockets.

    Print money and increase the money supply and what you have becomes worth less. Look at housing. Would you sell it for what you paid for it? Would you really be better off if you sold it for more and had to replace it?

    Start floating around newly printed money and giving it away and just hide and watch what happens. It is the way of a Progressive, Liberal, Leftist or Democrat. Whatever you choose to call them.

    Inflation will not reverse, look at history, just in our lifetime if you think it will.

    Water Boy, obviously you can not understand what you read. What Trump and Company was doing had absolutely nothing to do with setting rules and regulations for future elections, which is the only thing my one sentence had anything to do with.

    Something here I am curious about.

    https://absolutenews.com/south-carolina-man-dead-of-heart-attack-while-burying-b...

    This is the curious part.....

    "The F.B.I reports the estimated number of murders in the United States in 2019 was 16,425. This was an increase from the 2018 estimate, a 3.4 percent increase from the 2015 figure, and 11.6 percent increase from the number in 2010.

    Due to restrictions during the last two years, data was not yet reported for either period."

    Due to who's restrictions? I sthis more control of information by this demented President or what is the deal?

    As I see it, it is an attempt to keep the public from knowing just how bad things are becoming in this country.

  • Mr. VanGennip,

    I�ve always gotten a laugh over your ranting and querulous whining, when one of your �contributions� turns out being fully applicable to an �anti-Trump� conclusion.

    Your contention of referring to the �future� is meaningless, when the Trump administration has already tried what you�re worried about. What you clearly missed is that the Trump goal was to violate existing �rules and regulations� with the intent of setting precedents for overturning future elections.

    Try thinking first. Also about the 400 or so voting restrictions republicans are proposing.

    "What you clearly missed is that the Trump goal was to violate existing �rules and regulations� with the intent of setting precedents for overturning future elections."

    Water Boy, unless you have documentation to that effect I will take it as your opinion only.

    What I saw was Trump trying to have the election overturned based on his opinion that it was fixed and he wanted to keep the Presidency.

    Nowhere have I seen any thing about his intention of setting a precident for future elections. If anyone did that it was Al "Sore" er, I mean Al Gore.

    My statement had to do with those with the power to change the rules, as in Congress, to change the rules based on who won the last election. You made it political and one sided, I made it politicians in General. I am against have the rules changed every time there is an election. And that is what the Democrats in the US House and Senate are trying to do.

    Leftau, I spoke of the future, all your feeble brain comes up with is Trump, Trump, Trump. Your attempt to divert with Trump tying to set up a precedent for the future is laughable. His goal was the present. Anyone should be able to see that.

    Yes Google, it is civil.

    Have it anyway you like Water Boy but none of your ranting since I made the following statement has anything to do with a candidate be the Al Gore, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump has anything to do with this statement.

    �Every SOB who gets in power wants to change the rules to favor their party in future elections.�

    Neither of those three changed the result or a rule, tried to bend a rule maybe, but neither ended up a winner and neither of them changed a rule.

    Rules are changed by a body, as in Congress or a legally set up entity. Challenging what they think is wrong is not rule making, and I certainly did not mention setting precidents. Currently the Democratic Majority is trying to change voting rules so they can never lose power. Slow Joe Biden is breaking our laws on immigration to try and build a future Democratic voter base to circumvent an election by legitimate voters. And being a loyal wipe, I am sure you fully approve of that Water Boy.

  • 1. Democrats want to eliminate the possibility of another coup attempt by clarifying electoral vote counting.

    2. There are about 400 new, partisan laws proposed by republicans to restrict voting rights.

    3. President Biden is complying with existing immigration laws and only reconsidering the application of a public health provision from the 1940's.

    4. Individuals that legally immigrate can choose to vote for either party after they attain citizenship.

    5. Republicans are trying to reduce vote access even in red states, as the seem to be unable to compete fairly for votes.

    Republicans want to exclude as many legal voters as possible from voting legally.

    This explains why they are trying desperately to pass the 400 or so voter suppression laws.

    Vote suppression is when the legislature reduces hours, polling places, etc. in selected locations. What's also interesting is that republicans have not made these new rules on a bipartisan basis. Not surprising, right?

With a pre-Russian invasion of Ukraine Inflation rate of 7.9% (Feb. numbers had only 4 days of the invasion included). Biden's inactions of letting Putin's military build up since last Fall is one of the reasons for Russian hostilities....that's what you get with a weak senile leader.

At any rate as I read the statement, I did not take it out of context. Especially knowing your ego and the know it all attitude you constantly put forth. It is not my job to clairify what someone else writes, I don't edit the statements of others as the government is suggesting is necessay on Twitter.

    And just as a suggestion, grow up and quit trying to use Trump to cover your *** when you screw up. When you make a statement you own it, so my advice, make it clear when you make it.

But the Southern Border was closed for the most part, Putin had some respect for us and didn't try the horrendous path he is on, we had energy independence and inflation was not an issue. Biden has a failed policy on all of the above. You have had a Trump hate on since he beat Hillary, get over it and forget the all things Democrat BS for a change.

    Trump was a business man and as such did a better job of running the country. His problem was his mouth. Biden is nothing but a politician having never had a real job and incompetent at what he is doing.

    Do you seriously not accept the difference between criminal/gang shootings in an inner city and an intentional white nationalist, domestic terrorist murdering of innocent civilians.

    If you're worried about both, as you should be, you'd support increased background checks, elimination of military style weapons, and abolishing high capacity magazines.

    If not, you may be one of those that just sends "thoughts and prayers" and does nothing else.

    "Despite A Mandated Psych Eval, Accused Buffalo Shooter Bought A Gun

    The Buffalo shooting suspect bought a gun just a few months after a police-mandated psychiatric evaluation that followed a shooting threat. Separately, Illinois will cover funeral expenses for child gun violence victims.

    NPR: Buffalo Suspect Bought A Rifle Months After Cops Ordered A Psych Evaluation

    Robert Donald, 75, the owner of Vintage Firearms in Endicott, N.Y., told NPR that the firearm was purchased in 2022. And he confirmed that he had run a background check on Payton Gendron, the 18-year-old suspect, but that the report showed nothing. The purchase took place months after New York state police briefly took Gendron into custody after he made a threat about a shooting, as authorities have described. Last June, state police investigated Gendron and ordered a psychiatric evaluation. After a day and a half in a hospital, he was released, authorities say. Afterward, he did not remain on law enforcement's radar. The timing of the gun purchase, along with Donald's report of a clean background check, raises questions about why a police-ordered mental health evaluation would not have appeared on the report. (Sullivan, 5/16)

    AP: Buffalo Shooter's Previous Threat Raises Red-Flag Questions

    Less than a year before he opened fire and killed 10 people in a racist attack at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store, 18-year-old Payton Gendron was investigated for making a threatening statement at his high school. New York has a �red flag� law designed to keep firearms away from people who could harm themselves or others, but Gendron was still able to legally buy an AR-15-style rifle. The �general� threat at Susquehanna Valley High School last June, when he was 17, resulted in state police being called and a mental health evaluation at a hospital. (Whitehurst, Tarm and Anderson, 5/17)"

    ***********************

    "The 18-year-old man who allegedly opened fire in a Buffalo, New York grocery store on Saturday purchased his weapon legally, passing a background check, but altered it with a high-capacity magazine that is illegal under New York law, according to several media reports."

    The above news clips are circulating on the internet. It appears to me that once this kid started threatening people and was supposedly evaluated as a high risk individual, it would have been impossible for him to legally purchase a gun almost anywhere.

    So we can expect a hue and cry on making some more gun laws when we cannot seem to follow and enforce the laws we already have.

    -- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Wed, May 18, 2022, at 11:11 AM

    As I thought the Democrats solution....

    "If you're worried about both, as you should be, you'd support increased background checks, elimination of military style weapons, and abolishing high capacity magazines."

    As I was preparing to post the above you post this Water Boy. It is no surprise, more laws. When do they start enforcing what we have. This kid was under a previous order for evaluation because of a threat, yet he underwent a background check and passed it.

    Anybody else see a problem with this? How does a kid when he is 17 it appears, make threats, be subject to evaluation and then with this on his record legally purchase a gun at 18 years old.

    Oh, and there is a law against larger magazines in New York.

    Come on Water Boy, you tell us what new and different law do you propose that will stop this when they are not enforcing the laws they have. You think you know it all, tell us please!

    Instead of keeping a mental 18 year old kid from buying a high powered rifle with the current laws, people like yourself would like laws that would hamper people in their 80's with nothing on their record, have to stand on their head to buy a single shot 22 rifle.

    Common sense and the current regulations could have kept this kid from purchasing whatever he purchased, but that isn't a factor with the leftists in this country. Roughly 70 years ago, I purchased a pump 22 rifle from a cousin on a Sunday morning after Church in the local country store. So far as I know that rifle never killed anybody prior to me purchasing it and it damned sure has not since. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If this kid made a meaningful threat at 17, lock his *** up for awhile and teach him some of the values his parents apparently never instilled in him.

    "To some degree, these statistics also apply to you:

    How many of you play the Texas lottery???

    If you bought a ticket � the odds are usually about 55 million to 1 of winning.

    But you have already won a much bigger lottery against much greater odds.

    you were born.

    They did a study at A&M to calculate the odds of a specific individual being born.

    They estimated the total number of fertile men and women in the world, calculated the number of genetic possibilities a man might contribute, adjusted for the number of hours of female fertility each month, then factored in a long list of other considerations.

    The bottom line: the chance that you, meaning exactly you, would ever be born are 1 in 1.3 times ten to the twenty-ninth power.

    In other words, 13 followed by 28 zeros.

    You and me are some incredibly, amazingly, unbelievably lucky people.

    We won the genetic lottery!

    So you are a miracle and you already have won a lottery more amazing than humankind can ever devise. you have already been awarded a prize far richer than anything the world has to give.

    You are alive. You are here. And it�s up to you to make the most of it and not waste the precious time you are given."

    Thank you SEMO471, I think even the Water Boy should understand that. He brings up that childish argument the Leftists Democrats tried years ago. And they did not say muskets in the 2nd amendment either, they said arms. The Democrats know better but the first thing in taking over and making subjects out of citizens is to disarm them, something our forefather had the wisdom to understand.

    First thing out of their mouth when something happens, they want to make some more laws, that will fix everything.

    "It�s common to hear gun control advocates argue that the founders wouldn�t have included modern firearms under their definition of �arms.� At best this is amusing speculation at best and at worst an argument made in bad faith. It could also be used to justify Internet censorship under the claim the founders were only referring to an 18th Century printing press in the First Amendment."

    The above from the article furnished by Schaefer pretty much spells out where the Leftist Democrats like Leftau try to make their argument. Where I would disagree I don't consider it "amusing speculation", traitorous deceit fits better.

  • Rick S.

    I agree that the 2nd amendment says arms, as in�

    �A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.�

    This is also correct�

    �The Second Amendment, ratified in 1791, was proposed by James Madison to allow the creation of civilian forces that can counteract a tyrannical federal government. Anti-Federalists believed that a centralized standing military, established by the Constitutional Convention, gave the federal government too much power and potential for violent oppression.�

    As is this from Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution which says Congress will have the power to�

    �12. To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

    13. To provide and maintain a Navy;

    14. To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

    15. To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

    16. To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;�

    It clearly says provide and maintain a Navy but not an Army, particularly not a �centralized standing Military.�

    And of course, we not only have a �standing Army,� but also a �standing Air Force� and �standing Reserve Forces� and �standing National Guard Forces� which are state managed but can be federalized. In addition, we have organized state militias (as per the 2nd Amendment.)

    So the original justification for an "armed citizenry" through the 2nd amendment has been basically overridden by our �centralized standing military.� However, with a few minor exceptions, the federal government has not �violently oppressed� the general population.

    The simplistic proposition claiming individuals need to be armed to fight off the government has always been ludicrous. Back in the 18th century, individuals bore arms to hunt for food, defend their families and towns, and support the �great replacement.�

    Rick, how many times have you heard a Conservative American talk in terms of limiting the 2nd Amendment. That crap always comes out of the far left, those that want to take this country into a Totalitarian type government to satisfy their needs for power. An armed citizenry stands in the way of them accomplishing their goal.

    "Chances are very , very , good there were liberals , conservatives , and some who were a little of both who wrote the US of A Constitution ."

    Rick I think it is fair to say their were no far left people helping write the Constitution.

    Those writing it were giving us freedom, not bondage, as we had under England's rule.

    Those trying to destroy our Constitution from the far left seek power as they can achieve through Socialism/Communism.

    We do NOT need to go back to Totalitarian Rule in any form. A one party rule, however it is achieved by the Left or the Right is the last thing we need. Absolute power absolutely corrupts.

    I can safely say that I have never heard any person with some level of authority or responsibility say anything about taking guns away.

    2000 Mules, whatever, I have not fully trusted the 2020 elections and how they were held. Allowing just localized investigation where the fraud would have taken place if it indeed did is like letting the fox guard the henhouse. I have always felt a thorough independent and centralized investigation should be held. America deserves that as much attention be spent on this at minimum as was done on the phony Trump Russia BS the Democrats wasted so much time and treasure on. And now it comes out that the FBI knew all along the Trump Russia Collusion charges were phony.

    As far as Trump goes, he was not my choice to begin with, but when it came to a choice between him and Hillary Clinton, there was no question who to vote for. I did not like Trump's mouth, but the same thing applied to Joe Biden, the man is brain dead, and the Democrats ran him for one reason, thy felt he could win. Leftau admitted as much. Leading the Country was secondary, again no choice to a thinking voter but we wind up with an inferior leader. who is at the whim of non elected shadows.

    Yeah Water Boy, I know you tried to throw Trump in there but, I don't remember him being in the running in the Democratic Primary.

    Been awhile but I remember when I had a dollar in my pocket I could put about 5 gallons of gas in my car. Now with a dollar I cannot get a quart of gasoline.

    Inflation is a killer for those on a fixed income. I planned my life to have extra income for retirement and it has worked so far.

    Presidential elections have never really been about picking the very best person to do the job. It's simply been about who each political believes will get the most votes.

    If it were a matter of getting the best person, we'd be better off eliminating political parties and having about 10 highly qualified individuals submit detailed resumes and have a nationwide vote to select one person as President and the runner up as Vice-President.

    You can parrot the lie about Trump being unqualified until the cows come home, but it doesn't make it true. Trump was many times over more qualified to run this country than Joe Biden ever was. Take a look around at the mess we are in since Biden took over. Everything from being overrun with illegals on the Southern Border to worst inflation in about 40 years. Gasoline more than double what it was when Biden took over. Groceries twice the price. What you were able to come home with for $100 now costs $200 at the grocery store.

    Sing the praises of this trainwreck all you want but it won't make them true. And I believe you are going to see the Biden recession soon to follow.

    Fine Leftau, you are entitled to your opinion and lack of foresight to go along with it.

    I do not live that way. I try to make researched decisions and will place blind trust in no party, I could care less who they are.

  • The difference is that the racist aspects of Southern democrats, KKK, Jim Crow, vote suppression, were all tied to the societal characteristics of Southerners, like those that started the Civil War.

    The republican support for civil rights held fairly well until recently when southerners left LBJ's democratic party, because of support for civil rights. The southern republicans have effectively displaced the southern democrats. Evidence is the widespread republican push for voter suppression all across the South.

    Water Boy, first, I claim no party membership, Second they do not deny rights to anybody that is legal to regigster and does so and can prove they are who they say they are. What have you got against honesty and integrity at the polls?

    I have always been legally registered to vote since I became of age a couple of years past and have had no problem showing a photo ID when asked for it and after my name was found to be on the registration roles. Never have I voted at more than one polling place during an election cycle, although I was asked to do so by a Democrat who said that nobody would know the difference since my true registration location was some 150 miles away. While nobody would know the difference was possibly true, I would have known and declined his offer.

    What do you find so difficult about a minority citizen following the same procedures as everyone else and go ahead and vote?

    If you are calling purging the records of deceased voters from the voter registration roles a denial, try getting real for a change.

    As a PS: The Democrat who asked me to vote illegally won in the end. Did he do it legally or did he convince others to vote for him illegally as I was asked. What do you think he was, a "Normal Democrat" or a "Southern/Abnormal Democrat"?

    -- Posted by Have_Wheels_Will_Travel on Sun, May 22, 2022, at 1:24 PM

    Bill Clinton

    42nd President of the United States

    The New York Times is suggesting Hillary Clinton took actions as secretary of state because of financial donations that were made to the Clinton Foundation by Russians pushing for a Canadian uranium company.

    The Times reported in an explosive piece on Thursday that Canadian records show the chairman of Russian-owned Uranium One gave over $2 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation, which the Clintons� didn�t disclose. At the same time, Russia pushed for control of a Canadian Uranium company.

    A Kremlin-connected bank promoting stock in the company also reportedly paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a speech in Moscow. Eventually, the Russian-Canadian uranium deal was approved."

    Yes, and the Democrats are acting in an appropriate manner. They lied about Slow Joe's abilities and readiness for the job. So now when caught in a lie instead of apologizing they act they are proud of it.

  • "...153% increase in early voting in Georgia..."

    That represents about 565,000 early votes.

    In the final primaries, about 1,000,000 republicans voted and about 700,000 democrats.

    That increased amount represents about a third of all votes cast in the primaries.

    In the last general election there were a total of about 4,500,000 votes cast. So the 565,000 represents about 12.5% of the total.

    Republicans don't care about suppressing party votes in primaries. Their goal has been to limit voting opportunity in general elections.

    Of course another unintended consequence of changing voting rules is that it will energize even more voters.

  • The 2020 election was fair and honest. You have zero proof that it was not. Use Hitchens's razor.

    Trump saying it was rigged is all you have. Does it occur to you that he was claiming that the only way he could lose is if it were rigged well over 6 months before the election.

    How would he know that? There's no way he could, but he was preparing his "base" for his loss. Seems you swallowed his lie back then and still do.

    Hey Water Boy, I never mentioned the 2020 election nor was I referring to it. I never voiced an opinion on the cheating in 2020 claim. I have said that more than once. I know a lot of people who think there was cheating. I was not there to witness if there was or not, neither was you. But you shoot off your mouth as if you were an authority on it, when just like me, you cannot prove it one way or the other. All you have is 2nd hand information. Further, I do not believe you are honest enough to admit it if you witnessed it firsthand. The American people are owed a fair and impartial investigation.

    You Trump haters spent 4 years plus investigating and came up with zip, zero, nada! All because of a lying report paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. I was hearing about Democrat Cheating at the polls 50 years before I ever heard of Trump. They used to give people a ride to the polls and a shot of whiskey for their vote.

    You have a serious mental problem with Trump. He is not mentioned in a discussion and you suddenly launch into a Trump rant. Get some counseling, it isn't healthy.

    Along with Slow Joe's Gun Control Nonsense, you might want to read the following on saving the planet with Electric Vehicles

    "Batteries, Nice Explanation.

    Prior to my career selling 'High Tech Printed Circuit Boards' (PCB's), I started in sales with a company in Long Island, NY, packaging Uninterrupted Power Supplies utilizing Nickel Cadmium Storage Batteries. Somehow, I still receive tech bulletins and publications from the industry. And recently received this and thought it may be interesting to others as well. Very Informative. Do Enjoy!

    Bob

    What is a battery?' I think Tesla said it best when they called it an Energy Storage System. That's important.

    They do not make electricity � they store electricity produced elsewhere, primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle is not at all valid.

    Also, since forty percent of the electricity generated in the U.S. is from coal-fired plants, it follows that forty percent of the EVs on the road are coal-powered, do you see?"

    Einstein's formula, E=MC2, tells us it takes the same amount of energy to move a five-thousand-pound gasoline-driven automobile a mile as it does an electric one. The only question again is what produces the power? To reiterate, it does not come from the battery; the battery is only the storage device, like a gas tank in a car.

    There are two orders of batteries, rechargeable, and single-use. The most common single-use batteries are A, AA, AAA, C, D. 9V, and lantern types. Those dry-cell species use zinc, manganese, lithium, silver oxide, or zinc and carbon to store electricity chemically. Please note they all contain toxic, heavy metals.

    Rechargeable batteries only differ in their internal materials, usually lithium-ion, nickel-metal oxide, and nickel-cadmium. The United States uses three billion of these two battery types a year, and most are not recycled; they end up in landfills. California is the only state which requires all batteries be recycled. If you throw your small, used batteries in the trash, here is what happens to them.

    All batteries are self-discharging. That means even when not in use, they leak tiny amounts of energy. You have likely ruined a flashlight or two from an old, ruptured battery. When a battery runs down and can no longer power a toy or light, you think of it as dead; well, it is not. It continues to leak small amounts of electricity. As the chemicals inside it run out, pressure builds inside the battery's metal casing, and eventually, it cracks. The metals left inside then ooze out. The ooze in your ruined flashlight is toxic, and so is the ooze that will inevitably leak from every battery in a landfill. All batteries eventually rupture; it just takes rechargeable batteries longer to end up in the landfill.

    In addition to dry cell batteries, there are also wet cell ones used in automobiles, boats, and motorcycles. The good thing about those is, ninety percent of them are recycled. Unfortunately, we do not yet know how to recycle single-use ones properly.

    But that is not half of it. For those of you excited about electric cars and a green revolution, I want you to take a closer look at batteries and also windmills and solar panels. These three technologies share what we call environmentally destructive embedded costs.�

    Everything manufactured has two costs associated with it, embedded costs and operating costs. I will explain embedded costs using a can of baked beans as my subject.

    In this scenario, baked beans are on sale, so you jump in your car and head for the grocery store. Sure enough, there they are on the shelf for $1.75 a can. As you head to the checkout, you begin to think about the embedded costs in the can of beans.

    The first cost is the diesel fuel the farmer used to plow the field, till the ground, harvest the beans, and transport them to the food processor. Not only is his diesel fuel an embedded cost, so are the costs to build the tractors, combines, and trucks. In addition, the farmer might use a nitrogen fertilizer made from natural gas.

    Next is the energy costs of cooking the beans, heating the building, transporting the workers, and paying for the vast amounts of electricity used to run the plant. The steel can holding the beans is also an embedded cost. Making the steel can requires mining taconite, shipping it by boat, extracting the iron, placing it in a coal-fired blast furnace, and adding carbon. Then it's back on another truck to take the beans to the grocery store. Finally, add in the cost of the gasoline for your car.

    A typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds, about the size of a travel trunk. It contains twenty-five pounds of lithium, sixty pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells.

    It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. For instance, to manufacture each EV auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just - one - battery."

    Sixty-eight percent of the world's cobalt, a significant part of a battery, comes from the Congo. Their mines have no pollution controls, and they employ children who die from handling this toxic material. Should we factor in these diseased kids as part of the cost of driving an electric car?"

    I'd like to leave you with these thoughts. California is building the largest battery in the world near San Francisco, and they intend to power it from solar panels and windmills. They claim this is the ultimate in being 'green,' but it is not! This construction project is creating an environmental disaster. Let me tell you why.

    The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, they also need gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium- diselenide, and cadmium-telluride, which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the workers, and the panels cannot be recycled.

    Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fiberglass, and the hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. Sadly, both solar arrays and windmills kill birds, bats, sea life, and migratory insects.

    There may be a place for these technologies, but you must look beyond the myth of zero emissions. I predict EVs and windmills will be abandoned once the embedded environmental costs of making and replacing them become apparent. "Going Green" may sound like the Utopian ideal and are easily espoused, catchy buzz words, but when you look at the hidden and embedded costs realistically with an open mind, you can see that Going Green is more destructive to the Earth's environment than meets the eye, for sure.

    If this had been titled ... "The Embedded Costs of Going Green," would you have read it?"

    Sent to me by a fried. I agree with it. Anybody think battery operated anything comes without environmental costs has their head in a very dark spot.

    DA, I have nothing against people that want them, buying an Electric Car, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you are not getting something for nothing. You are not saving the planet. The mining for the raw materials and the burning of fossil fuels to create the electricity to charge the batteries is not pollution free. Then there is the disposalof the waste. Biden promoting higher fuel prices to force people to buy an Electric Cars is a bad joke. And there are line losses to be taken into account for the distribution of the electricity to charge the batteries.

    Here is an estimate of losses in electricity during transmissin and delivery. About 6%

    "What percentage of electricity is lost in transmission and distribution?

    And though your electricity may travel a few miles or less on low-voltage distribution lines, losses are high, around four percent. Energy lost in transmission and distribution: About 6% � 2% in transmission and 4% in distribution � or 69 trillion Btus in the U.S. in 2013"

    Gasoline contains about 120000 BTU's per gallon. Therefore if I calculated correctly the lost 69 Trillion BTU's would be roughly equal to 575,000,000 gallons of gasoline. Now how much of that can be attributed to the delivery of electricity to charge the batteries of elctric cars would be a guess at best at this stage of the game. But I think anyone can see this delivery process of putting an Electric Car on the road is not going to come without some strong negatives. Especially if Slow Joe truly could get us converted to 100% electric vehicles.

    Hey Water Boy, here is something for you. You are fond of accusing Republicans of suppressing votes. How about the Democrats using Superpac money to try and keep women of color from winning the primaries?

    From the article...

    �The goal of this billionaire funded effort is to crush the candidacies of a number of progressive women of color who are running for Congress.�

    His letter continued:

    �A super PAC is a super PAC, whether it is funded by Republican billionaires or Democratic billionaires. Dark money is dark money, whether it is funded by Republican billionaires or Democratic billionaires.

    �There is no question but that the continuation of super PAC money in Democratic primaries will demoralize the Democratic base and alienate potential Democratic voters from the political process.�

    But then, do you think Ole Bernie is a little two faced as well.......

    "Sanders believes that the DNC should denounce money from super PACs publicly, at least as it relates to primaries within the Democratic Party. Apparently, he believes it�s OK to use that money in elections against Republicans, though."

    That's it Lefty, don't give your reasons they are not true, just attack the messenger. Of course no irresponsible Democrat is going to make an outright statement to that effect.

    Just look at the City of St Louis and their catch and release program. Crime is going unpunished but their person in charge of prosecution goes after a citizen who merely defended his property from rioters who were on private property. And he shot no one. Look at the crime in our major cities, pretty much all under Democrat control. And who is pushing all of the gun control bills which are doing nothing to take guns out of the hands of criminals but are infringing on honest citizens rights. It's Leftist Democrats and you know it Lefty.

    And no, I wouldn't expect you to agree with me. Your number one Democrat just stated something to me the effect that the 2nd Amendment was not absolute. If that is not attacking our Constitution and nothing more than his opinion what is it?

    I didn't figure you would like what I said Lefty. It's no more than I would expect from a defender and supporter of the Liberal Abortion advocates in this country. You can add that to the list as well.

That after having been submitted for counseling for making threats a year earlier. What incompetent government agency does the Background check?

    The hue and cry for more gun legislation has already started. When will it ever sink in, there is no pint in a law that only affects law abiding citizens. Strongest gun laws now are in some of the most dangerous places to live. The punk that shot up the store in New York State passed a Background Check in spite of having a record of threatening violence and was recommended for counseling as I understand it. How did this happen?

    If the laws are so damned important and effective how did that 18 year old punk in New York pass the Background Check and purchase a gun?

    You can make all of the unenforceable laws you want and all they are going to do is hassel honest people. Criminals will get guns and if people like you had their way would be the only people that owned them. Make the punishment or fear of the punishment fit the crime and there will be less of it.

  • Sooo,off on yet another vacation. While many are wishing a vacation was remotely affordable this summer he�s off on yet another day,weeks at one of his beach homes. It�s possible he�s getting retooled with some new meds. Being a lab rat for dementia drugs ain�t a bad gig but not a mannequin,er,President. I guess in someways his absence is a blessing. His staff won�t have to scramble to walk back all his off the cuff,or teleprompter,gaffes. He�s less likely to interfere with plans to lessen his inflation. Most graduation ceremonies are over so there won�t be any obligations to have him show up to embarrass the event.

    In respect to inflation and spending....

    A number of years ago we were on a group trip to Dubrovnik Yugoslavia. Inflation was pegged at just over 1000% annually there. American money was not accepted and you had to exchange for their currency only at a bank. We would be there a week and we're advised to only exchange the money you would spend that day, because you would get more in exchange tomorrow.

    I asked a guide, how do you handle this? She said, when you get paid, you immediately put all of your money into durable goods that protect it's value.

    I don't think we are close to that stage, but may be what people here are thinking???

    The problem is that the current Inflation was created by the Liberals wanting to get gas prices so high that folks will get rid of their evil gas cars and go out and buy a $60,000 EV. Looks like another screw up by the Resident of the White House Nursing Home.

    Yep, the gas crisis of the 70s was great....high prices and then a shortage of gas whereby you could only buy gas on an even or odd day depending on the numbers on your license plates....those of us that lived those days don't want any of that Biden Inflation with soon to be higher interest rates.

    Hey.... be nice! This wimp likes his car toasty in the winter time and just cool enough in the summer to make the windows condensate on the outside.

    Mh first AC in a car was in my 53 Ford with what a CO worker called a whispering six in it that would slow down every time the compressor came on. It was an add on unit that was popular in the mid 50's into the 60's and I installed it myself. The mounting brackets were for a 55 Ford, so a little adapting was necessary.

    Semo471, I had forgotten that. I don't remember but I don't believe the back windows opened in that 41 Ford. It was a fine car at the drive inn though. It had a manifold heater on it. When the engine cooled you only need to run it a few minutes to have heat for awhile again. Had to save that $5.00 per gallon fuel. Oh wait, I forgot, it was only about $0.17 per gallon then.

  • I�m sure most here has that 100mph attic fan. Turn that puppy on and crack a window. Blow that sweat right off.

    I could see an EV toddling around town. No idea of the draw on a home charging setup but with the utilities requesting refraining from usage at peak(generally late afternoon)what do they do to the grid when plugged in after work? Can you say brownout?

    On a recent road trip out west in the middle of Bum Frick Nowhere at a huge fuel plaza there was a row of chargers all being used with a line of cars waiting. No one in sight. Inside eating? Waiting how long? How far before finding another charging station? BoBo wants to spend several billions on charging stations. One at every interstate exit? Some lady congressman was laughing about gas prices as she drove her EV from Wisconsin (?) to DC passing all that high priced gas. Makes me wonder how many of those gas guzzlers passed her at a charging station.

    Again a little off topic but before we make some more uninenforced laws....

    Gun Logic......

    1 - Eleven teens die each day because of texting while driving. Maybe it's time to raise the age of Smart Phone ownership to 21.

    2 - If gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry, USA.

    3 - The Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.

    4 - Legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know it.

    5 - When JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle.

    6 - The NRA (National Rifle Association) murders 0 people and receives ($$$$ 0) nothing in government funds. Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500,000,000 in tax dollars annually.

    7 - I have no problem with vigorous background checks when it comes to firearms. While we're at it, let's do the same when it comes to immigration, Voter I.D., and candidates running for office.

    8 - Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and probably has a trillion rounds. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. Now tell me, how do you think that would end?

    Don�t be afraid to share this. There�s more logic and common sense expressed here than probably anything you have seen on the news today.
