    Trump Dominates Biden Nationally By 13%, Leads in AZ, GA, MI, PA and WI

    Need something to talk about at your Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow? We have a new national poll and a poll of five swing states that shows Donald Trump could easily win another term in 2024. The national poll from Rasmussen Reports shows Donald Trump with a 13% lead over Joe Biden in a rematch of 2020 while a new memo from Fabrizio, Lee and Associates has Trump ahead of Biden in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

      Biden is like Oliver Cromwell’s son.

      I guess we should call him Tumble Down Joe.

    2. DW says:

      Meanwhile…Hillary comes out to tell us we are all gullible, not realizing Biden’s accomplishments.

      I understand his destructive accomplishments completely. It takes a unique talent to so quickly destroy the robust economy we had under Trump.

      If I recall correctly, Fabrizio Lee is not a right-wing pollster either.

      Vaccines Do Not Lower ‘Long COVID’ Risk

      COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective in protecting against serious illness, but they do not protect against “long COVID” in people who become infected despite vaccination, new data show.

      For six months, researchers tracked 9,479 vaccinated individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 and about the same number of infected patients who had not been vaccinated.

      But other complications of the virus, including the syndrome of lingering symptoms known as long COVID, occurred at similar rates regardless of vaccination status,

      In people over age 60 with breakthrough infections, vaccines protected against COVID-19 complications only weakly or not at all,…

      I think science will one day prove the atrocities committed on 50+ million babies here in the US unlike anything ever seen in history’s numerous savage wars in was barbaric and evil.

      How anyone can watch this video at 16 weeks and think ABORTION should be legal.

      Anybody seeking an ABORTION should watch this video to see what they are destroying.

      “The 3 men in GA AND Rittenhouse should’ve just stayed home and watched Wheel Of Fortune, and everything would’ve been fine.”

      -Not so sure about that in the Kenosha case.

      After Rittenhouse defended himself from the mob, the mob became less of a mob……..and all of a sudden there was order in that city again……not calling Kyle a hero, but his actions really brought the curtain down on the leftist rioters.

    11. mnw says:

      NYC

      He should have never BEEN in Kenosha, in front of some car lot, during a riot, where he thus put himself in a position in which he had to defend himself.

      It’s not the job of some 17-yr-old wannabe cop to “restore order” and “bring the curtain down.” That’s what the police & National Guard are supposed to be doing.

      I have 2 sons Rittenhouse’s age (appx). Thank God they have better sense, at least so far. As Rittenhouse said appx 10 times on Tucker Carlson, “I thought I was going to die.” And for WHAT? To protect some car lot you have no connection to?

      I realize others have opposite opinions about the course of action he chose. I look at it through the perspective of a parent of teenage kids. I want them here with me tomorrow, not dead for nothing, in front of a car lot.

      All of the murders were IN Philadelphia. Almost all of the murders were in bad neighborhoods. Both can be true.

      One murder was 2 blocks from my office so that was not in a bad neighborhood. Of course, Jason could not name 4 bad neighborhoods in Philadelphia.

      Joe Biden’s approval rating handling the coronavirus pandemic—the one issue that held up his overall approval—is now solidly underwater at 43.4%, with 54.2% disapproving.

      Highest disapproval is immigration and border at 62.8%.

    32. DW says:

      Biden and his cronies up and down the Democratic Party are putting the Babylon Bee out of business. It is now virtually impossible to use satire or hyperbole, because they are actually doing these things in real life.

    33. Bitterlaw says:

      Based on the evidence I saw, the Rittenhouse and Arbery juries reached the right verdicts.

    34. mnw says:

      BL

      I agree about Rittenhouse verdicts, but I don’t know enuf about Arbery trial to have an opinion. Except that I think two of them were guilty of some form of criminal homicide. The third one, I just don’t know.

    35. CG says:

      Been through a lot but hanging in there.

    36. CG says:

      Correct verdict in both cases.

    37. CG says:

      For the record, Biden completely and utterly sucks as President.

      Trump remains a disgrace to humanity.

      Both are true.

    38. Bitterlaw says:

      A Robbie-CG schism? Nobody saw that coming.

    39. CG says:

      I have disagreed with Robbie on plenty for years. Not sure I understand the reference.

      For one thing, Robbie has had periods of not being Never Trump.

      Me? not for a single minute of a single day.

      But I guess I have to share the distinction with Walt and lisab of being the only three people who have stated (on here at least) that they voted against Trump both times.

    40. Bitterlaw says:

      I thought Walt did not for President in 2016 and 2020. Cash Cow can explain.

    41. CG says:

      did not vote for Trump then. Same thing basically.

    42. Bitterlaw says:

      Trump is a bad person. Unfortunately, in the real world, when the choices were Trump or Hillary and then Biden, the only choice for those of us who care about the future of America was Trump.

    43. CG says:

      Many people voted for neither in 2016,Obviously, enough people disagreed with you to vote for Biden over Trump the second time, after Trump demonstrated himself in office, just because he was not Trump. The idea of Trump having anything to do with the “future of America” was unacceptable.

      Biden has his own problems now with those voters because he misread the electorate, but clearly the Republican Party needs to move away from Trump moving forward, as the recent results from Virginia and other places show.

    44. CG says:

      By your standards, you would have to vote for TGCA to be President against a Democrat.

    45. Phil says:

      Trump’s policies were excellent. They fit in fine with America’s future. Biden’s? Not so much.

    46. Tgca says:

      Trump,is NOT a bad person. What evidence is there that Trump us a bd person. Those are MSM talking points.

      Obnoxious, thin-skinned, mean tweeter, in-your-face…YES…bad person…NO!

      Define “bad person.”

    47. CG says:

      Quite a character witness for Trump is heard from.

      Do you agree Bitterlaw, or would you vote for Tgca to be President if he were the Republican nominee?

    48. Bitterlaw says:

      If Tgca ran as a Republican, I would vote for him over any Democrat.

    49. CG says:

      So, he could go on television and say you are a child molester, mock the death of your niece, call you a terrible parent and say your teenage daughter should be locked up as a domestic terrorist and yet you would still vote for him to be President…

      I guess Ted Cruz knows how you feel.

    50. Bitterlaw says:

      If you are on your third wife because you cheated on the first two wives, you are a bad person to me.

    51. Bitterlaw says:

      Tgca is a vile scumbag. But in the real world, sometimes you have to vote for a vile scumbag. Real world means terrible choices.

      Plus, if he said all those things, I could sue him or beat the crap out of him and then vote for him.

    52. CG says:

      You’d make him President, so he would have Secret Service, Executive Privilege, etc, and you wouldn’t be able to do any of that. But we all know you do not exactly care about your own fate.

      You are fine with a “vile scumbag” being your Master. When it comes to self-dignity, you literally have no floor. Sorry if I come across as judgmental.

      (deep down I do not actually believe you would vote for Tgca. I am not even convinced you voted for Trump. You want approval here though from the crowd.)

    53. Tgca says:

      I agree with MNW on Rittenhouse.

      Underage teens should not be out playing toy cop.

      If it’s ok for him to go and do the job of law enforcement then it’s ok for ALL people to act as law enforcement and insert themselves in ANY matter they think requires law enforcement and that would be detrimental to the justice system.

      It is not the job of a kid to take the law into his own hands.

      If Ritt or other teens got killed doing what he did, I guarantee people here would be up in arms about it and blaming parents for poor judgment.

      Any parent that knowingly lets their kids go and do what Ritt did is not fit to be a parent. It’s that simple! What sane parent would put their child in harms way like that.

      He is neither trained or skilled in handling the situation as is evident by what happened because they turned on him to attack him and he had to run. I have not seen any videos there where armed police were chased down by punks like Ritt was because he made himself an easy target.

    54. CG says:

      mnw is right on Rittenhouse. (Gee, I never thought I’d have to say something like that.) Rittenhouse was clearly not guilty of what he was charged with, but he is no hero, and is lucky to have made it out alive. I hope he shuns the immediate spotlight and uses this opportunity to make something out of his life.

      Let’s just hope mnw does not return to the topic of Chuck Connors.

    55. Bitterlaw says:

      I want approval from the crowd? At HHR? Have you read any of the posts here about me in the last few years?

      My votes supported Trump. As for voting for a Master, I live in America. I only vote for President.

    56. Tgca says:

      54

      Ditto Bitter!

      I think your a whiny scum that judges others but excuses the same behaviors in your own little sphere of life.

      Tell us again how you think Trump is scum for cheating on his wives when you admit cheating on your girlfriends. Cheating is cheating no matter who does it and when.

      Tell us again how you don’t like liberals and they’re bad for our country when you raised such a liberal who will do just as much damage to our way of life as those liberals you like to rag on.

      Tell us again how you mocked people for depression as weak but now admit it’s an illness ONLY because it impacted your family which is the same as saying you can care less when it happens to others but when it happens to you it’s a different story.

      You’re a HYPOCRITE and I will call you on it over and over.

    57. CG says:

      I am diagnosing you as a masochist. Since you would make Tgca President after all the things you believe he has done to you, there is really no other way to classify it.

      He probably is searching for a gimp mask and a ball gag in your size.

    58. Bitterlaw says:

      Corey – Your lectures are zzzzzzzzz. You voted for an imbecile like Biden to become President. That action waived your right to claim you care about the future of America.

    59. CG says:

      For the record, cheating on a wife is worse than cheating on a non-married partner. Neither are admirable, but one is worse at least according to the Bible, etc.

      Nonetheless, #59 is a post from someone that Bitterlaw says he would make President in front of Joe Manchin.

    60. CG says:

      Over 81 million people voted for Biden over Trump. Personally, I would not vote for Biden again, but what you state is really dumb.

      You are saying that you are writing off for good over 81 million Americans. Good luck winning elections ever again if you do not want to even attempt to win people over.

      If you have your way (and again, I don’t think you mean even 25 percent of this), then obviously Terry McAuliffe would be about to become Governor of Virginia.

      My daughter does not go to rallies or condone violence. The fact that you condemn her repeatedly instead of coming right at me confirms that you are a vile scumbag.

      Cheating on a high school girlfriend violated no vows. Trump violated his repeatedly. But you know nothing of marriage vows despite being able to get married now.

      Your detailed comments about the strangulation of my niece forever marked you as the lowest person to ever post here.

    63. Tgca says:

      55

      I have no desire to run for political office so voting for me is moot.

      As for Bitter, you’re correct!

      He constantly seeks approval of others and is obsessed with being admired or regarded positively by others. He conjures up an image of evidently what he wants to be in life but has not attained.

      It’s why he supports wokeness, to get the approval of those around him.

      It’s also appears to be his obsession with being denied being in the military simply so he can say he was in the military and hope people would respect him for that when the military did the right thing to reject him because the risk his medical condition posed to any unit he served in active combat…though I admit it he could have served in an inactive administrative role but I guess he saw no glory in that.

      All those desires to be looked on with attention smacks of his insecurity.

      Even LisaB suckered him into appearing at a local board meeting one night that he then went on for weeks talking about what praise he got in his community for it.

      Clearly, he yearns to be more than he is and is not satisfied with his life…yet he has the gall to mock others.

    64. CG says:

      Would you send him a campaign contribution too?

    65. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      Rasmussen Reports
      @Rasmussen_Poll
      In a rematch, Biden would only get votes from 69% of people who voted for him last year.
      Trump – 83%

    66. Bitterlaw says:

      I have not sent anybody a campaign contribution since 2012.

    67. CG says:

      Knowing what we all know now about Denny Hastert when he was a coach, the Bitterlaw standard would be that a person still must vote for him over any Democrat.

      Because there is literally no crime or action anybody can do as long as they are technically a Republican that does not demand a specific action to support them over a Democrat.

    68. Bitterlaw says:

      Tgclown knows that there is no ability for a diabetic to enlist in the military for any position.

      My comments at the meetings were my own. Tgclown remains silent in public but is so brave when he types.

    69. Tgca says:

      65

      I am not condemning your daughter. Her political choice is hers. But you mock and put down other liberals when you raised one.

      If you can’t see the HYPOCRISY in that, I don’t know what else to say.

      Perhaps if you were silent on liberals then you wouldn’t be called a HYPOCRITE for raising one.

      For the record, I don’t think being a liberal makes you a bad person but I do think it leads you to choices in this day and age that are detrimental to the core values of America, freedom, and democracy.

      You keep trying to twist this into me putting down your daughter so you can gain sympathy which is your MO.

      I refuse to let you judge others HYPOCRITE!

    70. Bitterlaw says:

      It’s always fun when the self-hating Jew appears to issue his BS diagnosis.

      There are ways for insulin dependent diabetics to before a board and be granted a waiver to serve. There is no issue at all for diabetics serving who do not use insulin.

      Perhaps more should be done to make it possible for those who require medication to serve in the military.

    72. CG says:

      Tgca unfairly attacks Bitterlaw’s daughter and Bitterlaw is a hypocrite.

      Both can be true.

      If they ran against each other for public office one day, Bitterlaw would be in the front row at a rally with an Elect Tgca sign though apparently.

    73. Tgca says:

      65

      I told you before and will tell you again. You mock others family’s including mine, including my dead brother, I will take it back at you.

      …and let’s not forget you mocking LisaB for losing her child in pregnancy and then pretending you did not remember it when you were called on it.

      I DON’T believe you forgot because you seem to remember every other detail about others here.

      So if it’s ok for you to mock the loss of a child and my dying brother, expect the same.

      So keep arguing the topic and I’ll keep repeating my rebuttal.

      As others have told you here, you reap what you sow.

      So GFY!

    74. CG says:

      You don’t believe the “self-hating Jew” thing. You are just butthurt to be called out. I am actually trying to help you here.

      Remember, your children were born Jewish under Jewish law, but you chose to make sure they were not raised Jewish but as members of a different religion. That is certainly your right as an American though but not exactly a plus for the Jews.

    75. Bitterlaw says:

      You keep bringing up my daughter, not me. You do keep putting her down. Everybody sees it. She knows I disagree with her views and we argue over it. That does not make me a hypocrite.

      As for being a hypocrite, why don’t you tell us that beautiful story about how you helped your brother find his faith again? I will be in New Jersey tomorrow. Should I visit his grave for you? How many decades has it been since you were there? Tell us again how you are a good Catholic who believes in forgiveness. Should I visit your mom, too? You obviously never forgave her.

    76. CG says:

      The point Bitterlaw might be that even though you might argue about politics now (as parents and children often do), she may one day have different views or want to vote for Republicans.

      Or are you going to be consistent and say that because she voted for Biden, she has lost any ability to ever have any say about the future of America?

    77. Bitterlaw says:

      You supported anti-Israel candidates for President over Donald Trump- the most pro-Israel President in American history.

      My children were not raised Catholic and you know that. They can choose whatever religion they want or no religion.

      Since the faith of my children is such a vital concern for you, how many Jewish children did you bring into this world?

    78. Tgca says:

      CG

      Bitter mocked me regarding my dead brother who suffered from cancer before I mocked him for his hand in his niece’s death. I never mocked her personally, but instead how his family played a role in her situation. There’s a record of it here and I have posted it before with dates and times to show the timeline.

      Bitter mocked LisaB, knowing she lost a child in pregnancy and claimed he did not remember that.

      Bitter mocked people with depression for years as weak people and now takes offense when he is called on that mocking because of what happened to his niece.

      Bitter mocks others for being liberals but raised a liberal daughter so I remind him of that hypocrisy.

      Bitter supports wokeness but criticizes others for supposedly having contradictions or standing up to do the right thing.

      Bitter likes to play victim but routinely attacks others.

      I just give it back to him so I don’t think its unfair when I bring it home to him.

    79. Bitterlaw says:

      She was not old enough to vote in 2020. She hates Biden as much as I do.

    80. CG says:

      Joe Biden has many bad policies, but he is not anti-Israel. Trump is not the most pro-Israel President in history.

      Of course though, as an American, my loyalty is to America and it is anti-Semitic of you to suggest otherwise.

      We also know that at least 77 percent of Jewish Americans voted for Biden in the last election. You seem willing to say to them that they are not Jews. That would also be quite anti-Semitic.

      For my entire voting life, up until 2016 when I did not vote for every Republican for every office and 2020 when I voted for a Democrat for the first time for any office I was part of the minority of Jewish-Americans voting Republican and the left would be the ones with the “self-loathing” nonsense. If Trump were not the Republican nominee, many more Jewish Americans, such as myself would have voted Republican. That should be something to consider moving forward.

      Now, you have have stated on here in the your children were baptized as Catholic and that you took them to church, etc.

      This has nothing to do with you being a bad parent or Christianity being anything “bad.”. I am sure you are a good parent. You are just a tremendous hypocrite.

    81. Bitterlaw says:

      The fact that you say I had a hand in the death of my niece is why you are a vile scumbag. I will always regret that I did not do enough but that is not for you to judge. You continually go after my family because you have no relationship with yours.

      Repost your description of the death of niece and what you claim were my worst posts. Corey can judge.

      215 901-2041. But you’re not man enough to call.

      You lack comprehension moron! No wonder it’s been said you’re not distinguished in your profession and can’t keep a job.

      I have no problem with your daughter being a liberal. I have a problem for you condemning other liberals but not condemning your daughter. That’s HYPOCRISY!

      If you don’t want to be called on it, then stop condemning others for being liberals.

      As for my brothers grave, I visited it in 2020 before leaving Jersey. So you make a fool of yourself suggesting I’ve not been there in decades when you have no clue.

    83. CG says:

      Different polls say different things in regards to the Jewish vote in 2020. It was not part of the national exit poll.

      The number for Biden might be as low as 61%. I thought 77% in one poll seemed high. Nonetheless, a clear majority of Jewish-Americans voted for Biden.

      Republicans should try to win more Jewish votes in the future.

    84. Wes says:

      All right.

      I’ve come on here to see a fight I don’t want to see.

      I’m out.

      Have a good night, everyone.

    85. CG says:

      Besides the claim about Biden, who would have been another “anti-Israel” candidate that I supported “over Trump?” It was stated as a plural.

      Who was the other one(s)?

    86. Bitterlaw says:

      I will ask my Jewish wife if I am anti-Semitic and get back to you. I did not say my children were baptized because they were not. They go with me to Mass on Christmas. So does my wife. I have attended Yom Kippur services with her in the past when we lived in Philadelphia on Penn’s campus. She does not belong to a synagogue. If she did and wanted me to attend Shabbat or high holy day services, I would.

      So, how many Jewish children do you have? It is a fair question since you criticized me for not rating them to be Jewish. Which is ironic since their Jewish mother did not raise them to be Jewish, either.

    87. Bitterlaw says:

      Hillary was beholden to the Democratic Party which only loves Israelis willing to surrender to terrorists.

    88. Tgca says:

      Here’s me proving you a liar.

      I said nothing about me having anything to do with my brother finding his faith. Show me where I made that claim.

      YOU LIED!

      Below is my only post on this in 110 of the last thread. It says nothing about me being involved in that decision. It is me reporting what he did. I had nothing to do with it. I think it was probably someone in the hospital because my mom is not Catholic and I was not church going at that period in my life.

      I think he came to terms with his life deeds before he passed because a few weeks before that he chose to get his 1st Holy Communion in the hospital which for us Catholics is of great importance for forgiveness and acceptance so for that I was grateful…and during the months leading up to his death, I noticed a great change in him as well which I sense was his act of contrition so I believe he may have made up for in death and found peace for what otherwise escaped him during his short life.

      I just proved Bitter to be a LIAR!!!

    89. Bitterlaw says:

      I will continue to condemn liberals AND argue you with my daughter about politics. What would you have me do to condemn her?

      You have absolutely no concept of what it means to be a parent. Note that I said parent. Not teacher, doctor, guidance counselor, clergy, etc. Parent. It is a role you do not have and probably don’t want to have.

      I say I would vote for you over a Democrat and you attack me.

    90. CG says:

      Well, it’s their Mom’s fault too, but she doesn’t post here. We have discussed this years ago.

      As for how many children I have, it’s not really any of your business. You should not dig for information that is not offered by others on the internet. You did have to apologize to lisab for mocking her as being childless without knowing certain facts.

      Be sure though that any children I have had or might bring into the world in the future will be raised Jewish. That is something that would be agreed upon beforehand and irregardless of the religious background or beliefs of another parent.

      But just remember, just like not everybody is able to serve in the military, not everybody is able to bring children into the world.

    91. CG says:

      I never supported Hillary or even considered voting for her. So, who else was there?

      But in 2016, you were agreeing with jason that she was better on foreign policy issues than Trump.

    92. Tgca says:

      Oh please! You’re idiotic view that it takes bravery to call someone vs debate then on the internet is moronic.

      I have NO desire to speak to you!

      I get you’re desperate to talk to people because all your best buddies are tucked away fast asleep at this time but I have no desire to share my number with you so you can constantly call and text me looking to chat.

      Damn f*ckin’ stalker.

    93. Bitterlaw says:

      Actually, you proved you are a bad Catholic. I believed your statement you were “grateful” meant you had a role in his acceptance of faith.

    94. CG says:

      “I say I would vote for you over a Democrat and you attack me.”

      Does that say more about you or him?

      Perhaps you would open a beehive and expect not to be stung.

      But it seems like you enjoy the stinging.

    95. Bitterlaw says:

      I did not agree with Jason that Hillary was better on any issue than Trump. Produce those posts.

    96. Tgca says:

      93. CG

      You make a good point.

      Years ago, I worked with a woman who got married when she was like very late 30s or very early 40s.

      I remember teasing her about oh wait until you start having children then you’re in for it, and to my surprise she got all tense and defensive and stated not every can have children.

      I learned from that experience, don’t assume all who marry can have children.

      Evidently, it was something that made her uncomfortable and defensive probably because it weighed heavily on her.

    97. CG says:

      Well, jason at least said that Hillary was more attuned to his foreign policy beliefs than Trump.

      This is also when jason referred to Trump repeatedly as a fraud, a con-man, and a Klansman.

      If I call the number, would I be able to briefly speak to the Mrs to see if she will personally confirm that she voted for Trump? I won’t do so without approval.

    98. Bitterlaw says:

      Corey – Have you forgotten that you are a joke here? I am about the only person who does not routinely trash you here.

    99. CG says:

      Seems to me you are the only one “trashing” me here at all. But maybe if you beg for help enough, someone will provide the backup.

      Unlike you, I really do not care.

      You have many reasons to be mad at Tgca, despite the fact that you tell him you would elect him President, but he is correct that you very much crave approval and want to be viewed as an internet martyr.

    100. Tgca says:

      96

      You assumption, if it was really an assumption you now claim, resulted in you making false statements. Thus I stand by my conclusion: YOU LIED!!!

      I don’t see how any of that proves me to be a bad Catholic either.

      Again more judgment from you when you know little of my history of faithfulness to the Catholic religion.

      You just say chit without knowing facts.

      This is why you argue with so many here but play victim claiming “this den of vipers has chosen you to pick on.”

    101. Bitterlaw says:

      You can talk to me. Why would she talk to you? She can’t understand why I have posted here for more than 17 years (but she did enjoy having lunch with Walt and his wife). Years ago, some idiotic college student called her to say I was mean on the internet. She told him to never call again but gave me the number. I spoke with him and discussed his issue with me. My identity is the worst kept secret on the internet. Anybody can find me. And unless you changed your e-mail address I still have it. You have mine.

    102. Tgca says:

      102

      I don’t recall trashing Corey here routinely. I know we had a few heated disagreements over the years but probably not more than a few so that is not “routinely trashing.”

      I don’t routinely point him out or call him a joke either.

      Thats another lie of yours so don’t include me in your “made-up” assessment please.

      You just make chit up Bitter!

    103. Bitterlaw says:

      You condemn me for not believing in redemption or forgiveness which you claim that you, as good Catholic, practice. Yet, you admit you have no relationship with your mom. That is not very forgiving and certainly not what you claim good Catholics must do.

    104. Bitterlaw says:

      Tgclown must think that he is the HHR spokesman. Tina, Phil, DW, Jason, and lisab routinely mock Robbie and CG as a package deal of Democrat supporters.

    105. CG says:

      I don’t remember yours. Mine is the same, but honestly, I do not think there is anything that needs to be discussed via email. Yes, I would know how to “find you” on the internet if I wanted to, and I used to be very concerned when you talked about suicide on here and worried that I might one day feel guilty for not trying to do something to warn anyone, but that’s not my burden. I have my own problems to focus on. I genuinely hope you get any help you might need.

      I’m merely skeptical that she voted for Trump in 2020. You said she did not in 2016. You are right that she should not be brought into any HHR drama since she clearly has avoided it.

    106. CG says:

      I think lisab at least likes me better than you. That might be a sore spot.

      But you can have Tina. It’s ok.

    107. Bitterlaw says:

      Well, this was an unexpected night of fun. Happy Thanksgiving.

    108. Bitterlaw says:

      She voted for Trump in 2020 because she knew Biden would be a disaster. She grew up in Delaware and knew he was a dangerous joke.

      My address is easy to find. So is my car. My cat is 17 and does not go outside for more than a few minutes. He is deaf so don’t call him. He will come up to you.

    109. Bitterlaw says:

      Lisab turned vicious. You can have her.

    110. Tgca says:

      107

      I mock you for your asinine belief that people can’t be redeemed or forgiven, especially for war of words, as opposed to violence and abuse.

      I have no relationship to my mom because she’s a vampire. She sucks the life out of everyone and will never change. My understanding is none of her family has a relationship with her either other than she occasionally calling them to complain.

      Being a good Catholic does not require you stay in an abusive relationship.

      She chose a man over her kids and that man abused her kids for years and she stood by and ignored it or took part in it.

      Tell me why I should stay in contact with a woman who refuses to except her man split my head open when I was 5 or routinely beat me to the point of bruises and blood as a child with belt buckles and extension cords or banged my head against walls and floors or kicked me down a block life a dog trying to crawl away from him in front of neighbors or requiring me to stand on my knees for hours facing a wall on a wooden floor and kicking or punching me if I leaned backed.

      That’s not me being a bad Catholic, that’s me being a sound person getting away from abuse.

      If you expect I need to be in contact with such people then you really don’t understand anything about people.

      Again, you judge on things you can’t comprehend.

      to answer some speculation above

      i did not vote for trump either time, but had my only choice been

      biden or trump

      i would have voted for trump. i am one of the few people here who did not like biden. many thought he was incompetent and/or a fool and/or just plain wrong in his political beliefs

      i thought he was a bad person.

    113. NYCmike says:

      “You are fine with a “vile scumbag” being your Master.”

      -Considering that Biden and this administration are much more willing to impose health mandates, ban fracking, ban pipelines, mandate whats taught in schools, it looks like “CG” likes the “Master”-type, but doesn’t want to face the reality of his choice.

      As for pro-Israel, which President was more pro-Israel than Trump?

    114. NYCmike says:

      Happy Thanksgiving to all!

      It is ironic that Tgca criticizes me for a post I apologized for when he continues to constantly bring up a very painful memory for lisab as a weapon against me.

    119. Bitterlaw says:

      Mr. Good Catholic believes in redemption and forgiveness but wages a constant war against me and my family.

      Let’s see how HHR views us. Neither one of is ever leaving (although Tgca promised to leave and then returned a few hours later). If you could get rid of one of us and never see another one of our posts, who would it be?

      Hillary should be in jail.

      I never called Trump a Klansman, GFY.

      The Biden Troll is here still talking about what I said in 2015, so he doesn’t have to talk about Biden’s disastrous Presidency?

      How about what I have said for years since 2016? Based on his actual performance in office, not on what he said during the primaries?

      Donald Trump was a great president. The election was stolen from him, he would have been 1000 times better than your man Biden I would be fine with him running and winning in 2024.

    122. jason says:

      but clearly the Republican Party needs to move away from Trump moving forward, as the recent results from Virginia and other places show.”

      LOL

      The Biden Troll thinks he somehow is part of the “Republican Party”, and that people that voted for Biden’s agenda should be giving advice to the party.

      I don’t think any shrink can help with that kind of delusion.

      CG should be giving advice to his own party, they need it more than Republicans.

    123. mnw says:

      Fwiw, a Thanksgiving observation:

      I just saw a clip of HRC’s Tuesday interview with Maddow. What she said was unremarkable (for her), but what WAS remarkable was her appearance. She looked like absolute hell. Shocking deterioration since I last saw her about a year ago.

      And she was coughing. REALLY coughing… like someone with a severe lung condition, NOT like someone with a cold or the flu.

    124. jason says:

      I did not agree with Jason that Hillary was better on any issue than Trump. Produce those posts.”

      Not to mention the Biden Troll is lying about my positions, as usual.

      I always made clear Hillary was “not a better person than Trump” despite my criticism of him. I also made clear she would be a disaster if elected. I never agreed with the Biden Troll’s assertion that Hillary was a non-partisan moderate compromiser, and always pegged her for the dogmatic hard core radical leftist that she really is.

      I also made clear I agreed with Trump on the vast majority of issues, except for some foreign policy aspects and trade.

      I still disagree with Trump on trade and some aspects of foreign policy.

      It doesn’t mean I don’t think he was a very fine President.

    125. jason says:

      It’s always fun when the self-hating Jew appears to issue his BS diagnosis.”

      Yeah, it is hilarious the self loathing Jew, who twists himself into a pretzel trying to explain why he supports a party that hates Israel and is full of anti-semites, actually has the chutzpah to say what Bitter did with his children is not “good for Jews”.

      You can’t make this sh-t up.

    126. mnw says:

      Remember Omarova? She’s Biden’s nominee for Currency Controller. She’s the Lenin prize winner* who studied in Moscow. At her confirmation hearing, Sen. Kennedy (R-LA) started his questioning of her by asking politely, “Should I address you as ‘Comrade’?”

      She’s toast. 5 DEM senators have announced they’ll vote ‘no’ on her nomination. So having been embarrassed by her on national television, Biden will have to withdraw the nomination (or watch her be defeated by the full Senate, which would be worse).

      All of this is by way of asking, when she was under consideration for the appointment, didn’t ANYONE in Biden’s inner circle stop to think, “This is krazy! The optics of this are going to be awful, & she may not get confirmed even if we bite the bullet & go ahead with her nomination anyway?”

      What WERE they thinking about? This kind of makes all the other Biden fiascos easier to understand. There’s nobody at the top with any common sense.

      Happy Thanksgiving, all.

      addendum to 130:

      The 5 DEM senators who’ve announced ‘no’ on Omarova for Currency Controller are: Tester; Sinema; Warner; Hickenlooper; & Kelly.

      To me this is another speck of evidence that DEMs, particularly those up for reelection in battleground states, are trying to create separation from Biden, i.e., “My record shows that I have voted against him when I disagreed with him. I’ve always been a strong independent vote for [MT; AZ; CO; VA]. I’ve never been a rubber stamp.”

      Or, as Wes prefers to put it, “rats leaving the sinking ship,” which I think is still a little premature at this point.

      But what a fascinating self-inflicted wound this woman’s nomination has been!

      She once said she would like to see “oil & gas companies go bankrupt.”* At her hearing, she said that this comment was “taken out of context”; that she “misspoke”; and that she “actually believes the opposite” of that.**

      *Manchin hasn’t announced ‘no’ yet, but what are the odds?

      ** “taken out of context” & “misspoke” are contradictory explanations where I live. The first indicates her comment was used in a misleading way; the second indicates that she simply made a mistake in saying it which she now regrets.

    133. Tgca says:

      But did Omarova say “NEVER?” If she did not then it’s ok.

      Was reading the Cow Bible last night.

      In the Book of Malachi there was an interesting story.

      God directed Malachi to go to a place with two wells. One was called Plentiful and the other was called Enough. Names were appropriate since the first well gushed forth lots of water and the other had just a small output.

      Many nonbelievers visited and drank from the wells as they journeyed by. These included the non-believing Moabites, Azurites, Troglodytes and Transvestites.

      God appeared in a cloud and spoke to Malachi telling him to poison the Plentiful well. Malachi did so, but thought why not poison the other well too–and started to do so.

      God spoke from the cloud and told Malachi:

      How does Politico refer to Buttigieg as “omnipresent” when he spent a massive amount of time absent from his job on maternity leave. The Democrats are in a pretty pathetic position if Buttigieg is the heir apparent.

      Elizabeth Warren in 2019: Ban oil lease and fracking

      “As part of the transition to cleaner energy, Warren’s vowed to prohibit new oil drilling leases for offshore and federal land, and she’s said she would ban hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, entirely.”

      Elizabeth Warren in 2021: Investigate energy companies for not supplying enough natural gas to the U.S.

      “Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday called on energy companies to explain “their decisions to export record amounts of natural gas while imposing massive price increases” on consumers, accusing them of “corporate greed” while Americans struggle to pay their bills.
      Warren sent letters to 11 energy companies, including Exxon Mobil XOM.N, ConocoPhillips COP.N and Occidental Petroleum OXY.N.
      “The cause of rapidly rising energy prices for consumers and manufacturers is clear: some of the nation’s largest and most profitable oil and gas companies are putting their massive profits, share prices and dividends for investors, and millions of dollars in CEO pay and bonuses ahead of the needs of American consumers and the nation’s recovery from the pandemic,” Warren wrote in letters sent to the companies and posted on her website.”

      That link contains ominous information. Biden has made weakness his guiding principle, & our adversaries have taken notice.

      Weakness begets wars, which start because the aggressors thinks they can win, as Victor Davis Hanson has pointed out.

    173. Tgca says:

      I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and took the opportunity to decolonize their holiday events by doing a land acknowledgment.

      As you know, unless you’re full-blooded Native American, you are benefitting from the past genocide of and living on stolen indigenous land so the least you could do during Thanksgiving is acknowledge that.

      As DC Public School District Chancellor Lewis D. Ferebee, noted in an email sent to parents, Thanksgiving can be “difficult for many” and that’s why “decolonizing” Thanksgiving is important.

      Below is a resource to assist you in making a land acknowledgment with some key points but the link offers much greater depth.

      TIPS FOR CREATING AN INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT STATEMENT

      Start with self-reflection. Before starting work on your land acknowledgment statement, reflect on the process:

      Use past, present, and future tenses. Indigenous people are still here, and they’re thriving. Don’t treat them as a relic of the past.

      Do your homework. Put in the time necessary to research to learn about those indigenous people the land belongs to.

      Correct pronunciation for the names of the Tribes, places, and individuals that you’re including.

      Use appropriate language. Don’t sugarcoat the past. Use terms like genocide, ethnic cleansing, stolen land, and forced removal to reflect actions taken by colonizers.

      Use past, present, and future tenses. Indigenous people are still here, and they’re thriving. Don’t treat them as a relic of the past.

      Land acknowledgments shouldn’t be grim. They should function as living celebrations of Indigenous communities. Ask yourself, “How am I leaving Indigenous people in a stronger, more empowered place because of this land acknowledgment?” Focus on the positivity of who Indigenous people are today.

      No educator should have to endure discrimination of ideas, especially in a collegiate setting.

      Trans professor at Old Dominion University forced to resign just because THEY advocated for:

      destigmatizing pedophilia and urging people to refer to child sex predators as “Minor Attracted People”

      not ostracizing pedophiles for their urges

      giving pedophiles child-like sex dolls to help satisfy their urges to have sex with children.

      understanding pedophiles don’t “choose” who to be attracted to children, so they shouldn’t be considered “immoral.”

    177. mnw says:

      Trump’s Thanksgiving message, emphasizing hope, optimism & better days ahead, was perfect, imo. Quite a contrast to the subliminal message communicated for the last year by the new regime!

      If Trump could just stay on that positive message, I’d like the GOP’s ’24 prospects just as much as their ’22 prospects. He won’t, & he can’t, though.

      Two things I take for granted, rightly or wrongly: 1) Trump WILL be the ’24 nominee, whether you love it, hate it, or just prefer somebody else, and 2) Biden’s name is never going to be on a ballot again, which is why Trump v. Biden h2h polls don’t interest me very much.

We are also imperfect human beings and prone to error and defensiveness, so the challenge of offering a heartfelt apology permeates almost every relationship.

      I agree with the last two sentences.

      As someone who has been hurt, angered, and wounded by many at HHR without any provocation, I desire justice and a sincere apology is necessary to make me feel better.

      I just watched the Twilight Zone episode Person or Persons Unknown, written by the late, much lamented Charles Beaumont.

      A man wakes up in his bed next to his wife and soon finds out no one knows who he is. At the conclusion of the episode, he wakes up again next to his wife, who this time recognizes him–only to receive another shocking case of mistaken identity.

      It’s not one of the best episodes in the series, but it does hold up well. The open-ended nature of the episode is probably its strongest feature. There’s no resolution to the events. We have to determine based on the little evidence in the episode if Dave Gurney is insane, is suffering from a string of alcohol-induced nightmares, is slipping through a series of alternate realities, or has become the plaything of a capricious supernatural force that continually resets his life.

      The screenwriter, Charles Beaumont, was a master of macabre writing that fit well into the series. He wrote eight short stories that eventually became Twilight Zone episodes, whether scripted by him or someone else. This was an original teleplay he wrote for the series, though had he written it as a short story, it wouldn’t have been out of place in his work.

      The Twilight Zone was the quintessential series that delved into the weird and the gothic. Episodes like this, working as they did as parables for uncomfortable themes like alienation and isolation, secured the show’s place as one of the greatest programs ever aired.

    194. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      “Florida is reporting the lowest amount of coronavirus cases per capita in the nation after Gov. RonDeSantis was widely criticized by media outlets for his handling of the virus.

      The Sunshine State reported a daily average of 1,393 coronavirus cases as of Friday, six per 100,000, which was a two percent decrease over the last two weeks.”

      As we approach 2022, we can correctly state that Fauci and Biden are basically clueless about how to address the coronavirus, and are at this point are just babbling inanely.

    195. mnw says:

      A few years back I watch them all in order.

      There are too many interesting episodes to chose a favorite but definitely the bookworm as the last person on earth, the gremlin attacking the plane, and the woman that has surgery to look normal all come to mind as favorites.

    197. Bitterlaw says:

      It is unfortunate that the Salvation Army has decided to alienate so many donors on the basis of race. Like others here, I admired its charitable works and thought that it provided much needed support, especially spiritual support, to those in crisis. I never examined its religious beliefs in detail and assumed it is based in Protestant beliefs. I used to donate to the red kettles and enjoyed the bell ringing. The irony of the new position on race is that many of the members in both the city and suburbs are black while all races donated.

      I will redirect my donations to Catholic Charities, pediatric cancer and suicide prevention groups. I will continue to buy food for homeless individuals rather than give them money.

    198. SoHope says:

      I sent an email to my local Salvation Army office letting them know my disappointment with their decision to get involved with woke racist politics.

      They seem to have chosen to chase leftist money and think they can do more good by addition through subtraction. Good luck with that when the left dollars they are chasing dry up due to the Salvation Army not being sufficiently woke enough on LGBT issues.

      I plan to communicate my unhappiness with the SA by putting a written note in the return envelopes they include with their mail solicitations.

      Because I’ve been a small but consistent donor for more than 20 years, I get a FR solicitation from the SA at least every 2 weeks.

      So… they’re going to get a lot of protest notes about their new wokeism from me, but no more checks.

      What I always liked about SA, ironically, was what I perceived as the immediate and direct help they extended to all comers, with no agenda whatever– altho they make the Gospel available to anyone who wants it.

      I might take a look at St. Jude Children’s Hospital instead, or a local homeless shelter.

      I don’t feel at all good about cutting ties with the SA, but I won’t support ANY cause that wants to make my kids feel bad about being white– or my grandkids if I should ever have any.

    203. Tgca says:

      211

      I used to give money to many organizations, as well as donations of clothes and household goods too. Now I throw things out or give them away.

      Many of the charities are run by those pushing socialists agendas so I’m less inclined to give.

      When I last moved, I gave quite a bit of good high quality real wooden furniture like bedroom sets, desks, etc, as well as exercise machines to people instead of charities or had it hauled away for refuse.

      I see no reason to be a useful idiot for charities that wish to insult you.

    204. mnw says:

      I think woke charities & corporations live in a smug, self-satisfied cocoon, & they think knuckle draggers can’t read. And even if we can read, they think we’re too stupid to take action in response to their woke insults.

      I’ll bet the SA is going to be genuinely shocked by the fury headed their way. Watch for some sort of attempt at a walkback, but it’s going to take a month or two before the SA realizes what the’vey grabbed onto.

    205. jason says:

      Woke charities are committing suicide.

      Democrats, at least politicians, don’t really believe in charities that much, they think the government should take of people, not private entities.

      Atkins was an example of a quack selling unhealthy diets to people and products filled with junk and telling people to eat all protein and fat without taking into consideration inflammation disease caused by highly acidic diets not properly balanced.

      If most people just eat in moderation and balance their diet, they will be just fine but that is not the world we live in where folks are bombarded with trends in diets. Most trends are the same as 30 years ago, they just repackage and rebrand it to make money off the unsuspecting.

      Having finished watching The Twilight Zone series, I naturally turned to Rod Serling’s other anthology series, Night Gallery.

      I can see why Night Gallery isn’t so popular as The Twilight Zone, though the later series isn’t without merit.

      Pickman’s Model, the first episode I watched today, is an example of this.

      It’s a loose retelling of an H. P. Lovecraft short story of the same name from the 1920s. As is standard for Night Gallery, the episode opens with Rod Serling in the creepy titular gallery pointing to a picture that will be significant in the story.

      We then get an unusual storytelling device of a frame story within a frame story as two men are discussing finding paintings by the late artist Richard Upton Pickman. This then leads to the main action as Pickman is teaching an art class and, much to his chagrin, has a student become infatuated with him.

      The story has a good setup as Pickman tells the student to draw what she sees. He then loses his job and encourages her to stay away from him.

      Naturally she’s too headstrong and idealistic to listen and finds Pickman’s house in a dilapidated part of north Boston. Pickman tries to get her to leave before having a confrontation with the subject of one of his paintings.

      The secondary frame story then picks up again as the two men from the beginning look through Pickman’s house and decide to open a sealed well in the basement they believe holds missing pictures Pickman painted.

      I understand why the episode differs from the Lovecraft story. Lovecraft wrote his entire story as one side of a discussion between an unnamed narrator and someone named Eliot. We never see what Eliot says and have to infer his part of the conversation from the narrator’s statements. The ending is fairly predictable given what we’ve learned thus far but is still fairly creepy.

      That style of storytelling wouldn’t really work for an episode of a TV show, so the script opts for the frame story. Most of the episode is creepy as people unfamiliar with the Lovecraft story won’t realize exactly why Pickman is eager to brush off the advances of his beautiful student.

      Unfortunately in its final few minutes, the slow burn of the story becomes frenetic, and the pacing is completely thrown off as Pickman becomes a Last Action Hero in contrast to his earlier portrayal as he tries to save the girl.

      The final reveal is a mixture of elements from the short story and the short Lovecraft novel The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, which Pickman has a small role in as a creature similar to the subjects of his paintings. I appreciate the attempt at adding broader mythology to the story even if the development isn’t perfect.

      Overall, this is a decent episode but one emblematic of why Night Gallery isn’t as successful as The Twilight Zone. It feels more superficial than something Serling would have let air on the Zone and fails to fully pay off at the end. It sets up some truly dark elements but doesn’t follow through with them in the Aesop’s fables vein that would have been present a decade earlier in a Serling series. This is probably a result of the fact that Serling hadn’t the full creative control over Night Gallery as over The Twilight Zone.

      I do recommend Night Gallery for fans of the gothic and the macabre, and it has some truly outstanding episodes, one being the directorial debut of Stephen Spielberg. It never achieved the same level of cultural impact as The Twilight Zone though, not only because Serling had less control over it but because his stable of writers from his earlier show, including such greats as Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson, were either absent altogether (in the case of Beaumont because of his death in 1967) or incapable of contributing significantly to the series because their careers had made them in-demand writers too busy to submit scripts.

      It is a series worth watching but one nowhere near as engaging as its predecessor.

    243. Meldrim says:

      So I see that Dave posted some very good news regarding GOP prospects in the 2024 presidential elections, and I thought “the comments today must be interesting and celebratory.” And the first three were.

      But then the illiterate scumbag Tsla showed up for the fourth post, and kept posting vitriol. Let me translate his posts #4 and #5 from misspelled gutter “Spanish” (which, not being Hispanic himself, he must have learned from his Hispanic neighbors in the mean streets of Newark):

      “Four! Four fags!”

      “Five Whores! Five!”

      Apparently, Tsla felt the need to announce with whom he spent his Thanksgiving, and to do so in the coarsest way possible.

      He then proceeded to insist upon the Leftist (and uneducated) definition of “hypocrisy,” claiming that a person who proclaims certain moral principles and fails to live up to them is a “hypocrite.” As literate people know, hypocrisy is a pretense of having moral or religious beliefs or principles that one does not actually possess. For example, Larry Flynt was a hypocrite when he feigned outrage that a prominent conservative had a sexual indiscretion (say, Jim Bakker or Larry Craig), because Flynt didn’t think that adultery or homosexual sex was sinful at all, and he was just pretending to possess such moral principles.

      Alinskyites like Tsla have tried to co-opt the word “hypocrite” to claim that it was the likes of Jim Bakker and Larry Craig who where hypocrites, not Larry Flynt. Literate, educated and civilized people know, however, that Bakker and Craig were not hypocrites but sinners, meaning that they failed to live up to God’s standard which, as devout Christians, they had adopted as their own.

      Tsla does not believe in matrimony–or long-term relationships not involving pets, for that matter–so he cannot comprehend how cheating on one’s wife is markedly different from having two-timed one’s girlfriend, because the level of commitment is far lower in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship than in a marriage. But even if they were exactly the same, Bitter didn’t say that he was proud of having cheated on his girlfriend or that there’s nothing wrong with what he did. Bitter is a sinner, as we all are, and he failed to live up to his moral principles when he cheated on his girlfriend. Despite what immoral Leftists like Tsla would have you believe, that does not mean that Bitter is a hypocrite when he proclaims his moral principles.

      I wish that when I visited HHR I would find a good discussion of electoral polls and conservative political discussions, but, apparently, people on the dole have so much time on their hands that they adulterate every thread. Sad.

      We have always discussed more than polls here going back 15+ years. We discuss the underlying ideas that contribute to political ideology like Mildred’s love of fascism or Mildred’s family living off the American people but Mildred may not understand that simple concept as one using THEY minority status to get THEY’s EDUMACATON instead of earning it on the merits of real talent. I wonder what non-Hispanic White or Asian was denied access to university so Mildred could be awarded a minority seat. Hmmm…

      Hypocrite definition:
      a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.

      So if you cheat on someone you’re supposed to be faithful to and then condemn others for cheating, is that not hypocrisy?

      I’m not condemning the sin of cheating, as I previously discussed a few times, people cheat for various reasons. I’m condemning the cheaters for condemning other cheaters without having insight into why the cheating occurred.

      It’s like one hooker calling another hooker a whore and claiming they’re not a whore because they need the money but the other hooker is a whore.

      We actually had a similar discussion about a year ago I believe, and the results by a count of posts were the same. I believe Bitter received the gold medal and Jadon the silver, hence, the long-standing rivalry.

      Why is Mildred attacking long-time posters for posting on topics other than poll results?

      Mildred says we can only discuss polls here and not any underlying political ideology or views that drive polls though that has been going on at HHR for nearly two decades.

      Again, Mildred’s fascist upbringing shows where THEY is deciding single-handedly what the topics at HHR should be.

      Apparently, Mildred only wants to discuss “conservative” topics, like requiring vax proof so people can eat.

      Poor Tsla has been living off victimhood, affirmative action and handouts his entire life and can’t fathom a person getting into college based on his grades and test scores. He’s like the man in the parable of the cave, only with tofu and dildos.

    251. Meldrim says:

      #259, that’s a two-fer for Tsla. He gets to impose his Woke oppression agenda on yet another company, and he’s one step closer to his dream of his Daddy Government taxing all non-profits (he believes that tax exemptions that they receive are the equivalent of the welfare on which he’s lived his entire life) so that only Daddy Government can direct charity.

      As for me, I think that it’s a terrible decision for Goodwill, and I won’t be donating to them, but private companies, including private charities, have the right to be stupid. I hope that it hits them where it hurts and that they see the error of their ways.

      Oh, and Tsla keeps accusing my immigrant grandparents of living off welfare because he figures that if *he* lived off handouts when his parents were U.S. citizens then surely those Cuban immigrants must have been on the dole and not, you know, worked and saved. My grandparents never asked for or received a dime from the government, although they did accept the scholarship that a Catholic school offered to their children (who thus avoided the government-school indoctrination that led to Tsla turning out that way). Once again, Tsla’s illiterate ramblings prove that “el ladrón juzga por su condición.”

    254. Meldrim says:

      #263, Bitter, Tsla doesn’t even understand the concept of marriage, much less marital vows. But he doesn’t actually believe that you cheating on your girlfriend is all that bad anymore that he believes that adultery is bad; he just wanted to call you a “hypocrite” because he’s ignorant and despicable and not smart enough to engage in a debate.

      263

      I agree there are degrees to morality as there are degrees to crime but my point is that you are overly critical and judging others for similar behaviors you indulged in yourself.

      God has nothing to do with cheating. Many atheists get married too so witnessing oneself in front of family, friends, and God proves nothing.

      Under your logic, if a guy has a high school sweetheart for years, acknowledged by his friends and family, then it’s ok to cheat on her because he’s not married to her. I’m sure the millions of unmarried ladies will agree with that logic.

      …and for the record, I thought you said you cheated on girlfriends (plural) during high school and college so if that’s true, that makes your excuse even more pathetic.

      Cheating is cheating! Whether you cheat on someone, you cheat on a test, you cheat someone of something they otherwise deserve. It’s all cheating and morally wrong.

      Now for us that actually believe in forgiveness, we can accept cheating is morally wrong and move on but for those like you who do not follow the teachings of Jesus, forgiveness is not an option so you have no right to invoke God’s name otherwise because you’re exactly the type of person Jesus condemns for condemning others.

      So let’s not make a religious argument when YOU do not follow a major core basic message of Christianity and Jesus which is about forgiveness and redemption.

      Hence, the reason I point out your hypocrisy.

    259. Tgca says:

      Wes, I’m aware of the Cuban regime but their acts were fascist in nature and though there are technical differences between the two, with respect to dictatorship, they differ very little.

      Please see the definition of fascism below and tell me where it did not apply to Cuban dictators.

      Fascism definition:
      a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

      The irony of a vile scumbag lecturing me about anything is both sad and laughable. Vile scumbag (VS) loves to bring up a terrible post that I made about lisab’s tragedy – a post that I apologized for immediately. Yet, VS has NEVER apologized for his moment by sickening moment speculation on the death of my niece. He has NEVER apologized for his claim that I “had a hand” in her death. Now, I would never accept such apologies because VS can never redeem himself after those posts. However, if he wanted others at HHR to accept his absurd claim to be the moral judge of others, he should at least make the effort.

      Would you equate them as equivalent levels of immorality, therefore requiring equitable treatment by society?

      As a lawyer, you should know the law looks at crimes differently depending on severity. We do not sentence people for stealing candy bars from a store to the same level as we sentence people that murder store owners in cold blood.

      I am not implying I am more moral than you because that’s an absurd position for most anyone to make, as we all have been morally deficient at times, in thoughts and actions.

      I’m challenging you on you judging others for actions you yourself have engaged in.

      If you cheated, whether on one or many, whether married or not, whether 25 years ago or yesterday, it is still cheating and as we know, cheating causes harm and pain to others whether it involves a marriage license or not so you trying to excuse it away is absurd.

      People in glass houses should not throw stones.

      Earth to Bitter! People here could care less about your niece or my brother and don’t dwell on it so why keep bringing it up? They were initially respectful like when someone says a distant relative died but then they move on with and life and don’t give it a second thought.

      You want everyone to share and relive your tragedy because you’re not happy unless you’re miserable and playing out drama. I swear you must be related to my mom. But guess what? People here not interested in all this drama about dead relatives, yours or mine.

      *YAWN*

      Oh Geez! Here we go again with your sophomoric requests of others?

      Why can’t you defend yourself? Why do you need others to come to your rescue?

      More drama and pity from you.

      People here would also remember that you accused and insulted us all a number of times as being a pit of vipers that chose to make you the guy they pick on.

      Why do you continue to post here if it’s a pit of vipers picking on you?

    278. Bitterlaw says:

      I said that I thought it must have been very difficult for you and praised you for caring for him.

      Tell us again what difference you made in your niece’s life?

      More of the blame from Tgca. Truly a vile scumbag and he just keeps addin to his record of low posts.

      Earth to Bitter! People here could care less about your niece or my brother and don’t dwell on it so why keep bringing it up?

      Because I will never let people forget your vile post. Never. It defined you. All of your efforts to claim you are a good Catholic who forgives people and believes in redemption can never redeem you after that post.

      287

      Ha! More pot calling the kettle black here.

      We know everything about your life because you post it constantly. My posts came up in reference to issues we were discussing and relating stories or joking instead of rushing in daily to tell us about your pitiful life and how brave you are to walk the streets with a briefcase full of canned Woke Cokes in Philly – you know, they city where you’re from.

      You’re the one on social media bragging about being forced going to school boards and how everyone was so enamored with that they want you to run for POTUS in 2024.

      You’re the one with the ego talking about running for Congress to serve as Nancy’s lil’ GOP Bish!

      You’re the one telling us all about your kids and your best friends on Snapchat.

      You have no humility whatsoever.

      People here acknowledge all the time about you trying to please your friends and neighbors with wokeness.

      So excuse me if I laugh at your post.

      Again, you sound like the prostitute calling another one a whore!

      You just don’t see how ridiculous you sound.

      Just as they will never forget when you attacked my brother’s death first that led me to give you a taste of your own medicine.

      You keep leaving that part out as if your niece’s death is of greater importance in the world than the suffering and death of others. Well, sorry, it’s not! People die horrific deaths all the time. You don’t have the market on that. Death is relative to each person.

      Remember, people know what you said too. Mocking a teen and his dying brother suffering from cancer is ok in your book you think?

      More delusion from you.

    284. Bitterlaw says:

      your best friends on Snapchat.

      You made up that lie as a not too subtle accusation of my relationship with player. Keep digging the hole deeper. Your vile nature is just confirmed with every post.

      I am not from Philadelphia. My hometown is Ridgewood, New Jersey. I explained in detail the years I lived in Philadelphia (1994-2002) and when I moved to Radnor. (2002-present). Keep digging, VS.

    285. Bitterlaw says:

      People die horrific deaths all the time.

      Remember, people know what you said too. Mocking a teen and his dying brother suffering from cancer is ok in your book you think?

      I never mocked the death of your brother. Find the post or leave.

      I presented to you the mocking post before and then you excused it away as usual when people call you on your BS.

      You just mocked my brother again in post 78 above regarding “beautiful story” when I talked about him finding religion with a priest before he died in the hospital in another post that had nothing to do with you…and you got your facts wrong in your mocking as well, pa and I proved you a LIAR in post 91 and then you tried to excuse that away too.

      … why don’t you tell us that beautiful story about how you helped your brother find his faith again?

      It’s what you do! You excuse away your behaviors but attack others for theirs. So whether it’s me, Trump, Wes, Jadon, LisaB, …the list goes on and on…you’re always judging others by standards you don’t keep yourself.

      You can’t help yourself and like most delusional and mentally disturbed people, you pretend you did not behave in the manner you did.

      As others here have suggested numerous times, why don’t you seek professional help…but you won’t…you love the pity and drama.

    287. Bitterlaw says:

      “beautiful story”

      It was a beautiful story. You are a vile scumbag. Both can be true.

      and you got your facts wrong in your mocking as well, pa and I proved you a LIAR

      How can I be a liar if you admit that I got my facts wrong? Lying would require knowing the correct facts and misstating them to make people believe a false conclusion. You admitted that I did not know the correct facts.

      Robbie have you lost your mind? A little reality please. It is Biden and the Democrats who swoon over Fauci, and support more lockdowns. The Republicans, including Trump, are critical of Fauci. Meanwhile, Rachel Maddow all but worships the man.

      Robbie, you have a problem, the Democrats are the party of more lockdowns and Fauci worship. Haven’t you been listening to the Democrats who attack Republicans for not supporting lockdowns? Trump said Fauci was “the king of “flip-flps” and moving the goalposts to make himself look good as possible.” If disagree with Fauci, your agreeing with Trump.

      Dr. Fow-chee is digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole and I suspect he will be either forced to resign, or face a GOP Congress next year, if they are elected.

      If a GOP-controlled Congress pushes the DOJ to prosecute him for lying to Congress, and they refuse, I think the DOJ will lose further credibility.

      It is very clear he has lied to Congress and he is trying to argue his way out of it by changing long-held definitions. The DOJ has prosecuted others for far less.

      See the video clip in the link below and the smugness and arrogance where he purposely insults the GOP senators and Congressional investigations referring to it as theater and anti-science which I believe is his strategy to deflect the serious charges against him.

      He argues that they can’t attack the science so they attack him instead and that is in fact attacking science and how dangerous that’s for the future of science.

      He claims he is saving lives and the GOP senators are telling lies when asked about a number of US senators raising concerns about him.

      Then he laughs and brings up Jan 6th mockingly because GOP senators suggest he be prosecuted for lying to Congress.

      If anyone can watch this video and defend Dr. Fow-chee at this point, I don’t know what to say. This man is about as corrupt as bureaucrats can be and he is mocking Congress for trying to do their oversight role in a serious matter.

    296. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      306. Fauci attempted to cover up his involvement in providing U.S. funding for gain of function research at the Wuhan lab. To successfully address the coronavirus, it was critical to investigate whether a genetic mutation introduced into a virus sample at the lab resulted in a more virulent viral strain, and whether it escaped the lab. Fauci should not have engaged in what amounted to a cover-up of the U.S. financing and involvement in Wuhan lab research, and then come out and initially strongly denied that there was any possibility that COVID-19 originated and escaped from the Wuhan lab. Fauci’s deception may have delayed essential research.

      It was not until Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times, Science & Nature journal editor, wrote his excellent article in May 2021, that the Wuhan lab leak theory finally got serious consideration. Biden even ordered an investigation, which we have subsequently heard nothing about. Wonder if there were any Chinese buyers of Hunter Biden’s paintings — you have to admit Hunter has found an ingenious way to obtain miscellaneous funds.

      As far as Fauci, he needs to resign immediately, and there needs to be an investigation of his deceptive conduct; likewise, Biden’s failure to pursue the issue of whether the virus was a lab created mutant is another example of his incompetence.

      Don’t you agree Robbie? You posted some very intelligent thinks about the coronavirus last year; are you now pulling back because of your support of Biden?

      309. The tide may be turning; MSN ran a story critical of Fauci (below is a quote). Biden’s coronavirus strategy has been a disaster; he may need to throw Fauci under the bus. Fauci’s failure to reveal his Wuhan lab actions may be a good excuse:

      “The disclosure that the NIH did indeed fund gain-of-function research further undermines Dr. Fauci’s standing to direct the U.S. response to the pandemic. His attitude had already infuriated a not-insignificant segment of the population. And even before the disclosure that his statements to Congress and to Senator Paul about the NIH’s role were inaccurate, Democratic strategists told Newsweek that Biden could do himself and the country some good by finding a less polarizing figure to oversee the closing chapters of the pandemic. “If you can take some of the political poison out [of COVID] in an election year, it’s a big win,” says Ryan Pougiales, Deputy Director of Politics at Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank.

      Some senior public health officials in the Biden administration are already taking a different approach to Fauci’s when talking about the pandemic. In interviews this past summer, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky discussed the current guidance on vaccine booster shots without setting off a backlash from skeptics and opponents. Her measured tone and transparency about scientists’ uncertainty offered an alternative to Fauci’s black-and-white presentation of the issues.

      President Donald Trump, who clearly disliked Dr. Fauci and disagreed with his guidance, could not have fired him without intense criticism and charges that he simply didn’t want to hear the truth about the virus, vaccines, masks or lockdowns. President Biden isn’t constrained by that concern. The new revelations about U.S. taxpayer support for the Wuhan lab research raise more questions about Fauci’s credibility and give Biden more freedom to move forward.”

      Those demands include that ASU withdraw Rittenhouse’s enrollment, put out a statement condemning “racist murderer” Rittenhouse and white supremacy in general, and redirect funding from campus police to the ASU Multicultural Center.”

      I think he is.

      In the Trump administration, Fauci was only the Covid God because the MSM anointed him so. In reality, he was just one more member of the task force on Covid and never had the power to set policies.

      In the Biden administration, he IS the Covid God and does have power to institute policy.

      As such, he is even more entrenched, and the odds of Biden firing him are nil in my view. He is not going to listen to any “third way centrist think tank”.

      Fauci wants mandates and lockdowns. The MSM wants mandates and lockdowns. Powerful combination.

      This podcast should be of interest to those interested in the proper role of the judiciary or in NC politics (particularly Wes, who is interested in both and who, IIRC, mentioned this controversy about a month ago): https://www.carolinajournal.com/extremeinjustice/

      The NAACP and the Democrats want to strike down two popularly enacted constitutional amendments (I believe that around 55% of voters approved them in the 2018 referenda), one reducing the highest maximum state income tax allowed to 7% and the other requiring voters to show a photo ID, because the state legislature that proposed the amendments was later ruled by the state supreme court to have been elected pursuant to “gerrymandered” districts. Even worse, the NAACP and the Democrats are attempting to force the recusal of two Republican NC Supreme Court justices from participating in such case, based on contrived reasons (one was a legislator when the amendments were proposed, and the other is a son of the state Senate’s pro tempore (who is, ex officio, a nominal plaintiff in the case)), so that the Democrats’ 4-3 majority in the SC can become 4-1 and thus permit the Supreme Court to strike down the constitutional amendments while permitting Democrat Justice Sam Ervin IV, up for reelection in 2022, to vote against striking them down and thus keep his slim reelection hopes alive. The podcast goes into detail about each of these issues, and I believe that one of the more recent episodes (I haven’t gotten to it yet) also discusses the possibility of the state House impeaching Democrat justices (which automatically removes them from the bench temporarily while the Senate considers whether to remove them permanently, which is similar to how itmpeachment works in NY) if those justices outrageously force the recusal of two Republican justices.

      #315, Jason, I see that you still have not learned that generalized discrimination against Jews in Nazi Germany was imposed by the government on private businesses, and that businesses that did not comply were vandalized or eventually shut down by the government. I assume that schools in the Altiplano did not provide substantive and accurate education on the horrors of Nazi Germany, but I would have thought that you would have read up on the subject during your years living in America.

      I am wary of government power, not, generally speaking, of private-business power (unless there’s a monopoly or a coordinated oligopoly). Businesses have the right to be stupid, and we can disabuse them of their stupidity with our words and actions. I saw in a post here that the Salvation Army has seen the light and is abandoning its Wokeness (Tsla hardest hit), and that’s how a free society should deal with private businesses.

      And I remain 100% opposed to any government mandates, whether at the federal, state or local level, regarding vaccination, masking or whatnot.

      Now the resident fascist is claiming the reason he supports discrimination by private businesses is that if they don’t discriminate, some states/localities (such as NYC) will fine them/shut them down.

      They released the statement below so unless they have changed their minds in the last 24 hours, for which I see no evidence of on the internet, they are trying to excuse their behavior away but they are NOT abandoning it. They claim, they are clarifying it but they have not yet disavowed their position.

      The Salvation Army argued the new guide was meant to encourage discussion about racism among members of the Salvation Army. The organization denied attempting to indoctrinate or tell its donors what to think, reminding people that the guide was meant for internal use.

      “The Salvation Army has occasionally published study guides on various complex topics, including race, to help foster positive conversations and reflection among Salvationists,”

      In 271, Woke idiot Tsla, in his risible attempt to hide his unmatched ignorance of things that literate and civilized people learn by the age of 12 by claiming that Cuba has a fascist, not a Communist, system of government, provided an accurate definition of “fascism” that he got from Dictionary.com and that proves that there is no such thing as “fascism by private businesses” (Jason hardest hit):

      “a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.”

      Jason, is each ice cream shop a “governmental system”? Even if we leave out the “emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism” part (although I agree that nationalism is a necessary component of fascism), it is clear that private businesses cannot be “fascist” unless we all join Wokesters like Tsla and Jason who want to pretend that words no longer have meaning.

      I suppose people can just make ice cream at home. If they are allowed to shop for the ingredients. Or if they are allowed to shop online without showing some kind of papers.

      #330, Tsla, I know that reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, but please note that it was mnw who posted the headline “Newsweek: “Salvation Army Donors Withdraw Support Over ‘Wokeness’ Initiative”.” I assume that mnw didn’t read the article that went with the headline, since he wouldn’t have posted a misleading headline on purpose.

      Thanks for letting me know that the Salvation Army isn’t actually walking back from its Wokeness initiative yet, but merely kept it underground. I won’t be leaving money in their kettles until they fully cease pushing the Tsla narrative that racial, ethnic, religious and sexual minorities are all victims of oppression whom society should judge at a lower standard and who require the protection of Daddy Government.

      If you do not think Castro was a fascist then I don’t know what to say to you because many have long referred to him as one.

      Clearly, not all communists are fascists but in this case, it’s undeniable.

      Are you going to tell us next that Saddam Hussein was not a fascist dictator too?

      Fascism definition again. Please tell me how this does not fit in this case.

      What did I post that was misleading?

    326. Meldrim says:

      Jason, in Nazi Germany, the *government* imposed restrictions upon Jews that all businesses had to follow under penalty of law. When the federal government, or a state or local government, were to mandate private businesses to make, or coerce private businesses into coercing, vaccination or masking a requirement for employment or service, I am 100% in opposition and consistently and clearly have said so.

      What has your panties in a bunch is when a private businessman, out of his own volition, sets health rules for entering his own business, and you want Daddy Government to regiment it and every other private business. Do you know what literate people call a system in which the government regiments all business and commerce as you want U.S. state governments to do? Yes you do, since you read Tsla’s post that provided the dictionary definition of “fascism,” as well as my post that provided it as well.

      If private businessmen, without government mandate or coercion, wish to impose stupid health standards for working or entering into their businesses, then they should be free to do so, and you and I would be free to go instead to a business that does not impose such stupid standards. Even in ultra-Woke San Francisco you would have businesses taking advantage of their competitors’ stupidity by permitting unvaccinated and unmasked people to work and shop at their facilities; that’s why Leftist governments impose *mandates* instead of permitting businesses to make their own decisions. Are you telling me that all business owners in York County, PA are such Woke sheep that, absent a state or local mandate, would require employees or customers to be vaccinated and masked?

      #336, Tsla, you are the Wokest Leftist on HHR; not even the trolls believe the crap that you spew about how all white people (even Mitt Romney!) are racist and how you need your Daddy Government to protect you from America’s racist and homophobic society because you’re an oppressed and disadvantaged homosexual, half-Hispanic hexadecaroon (according to your periodic DNA test–you’re still hoping for results that provide you with an even better scam opportunity). You are so Woke (and illiterate, of course) that you use Woke gender terms to describe the people that you envy the most: male heterosexuals. So of course you would have been hardest hit had the Salvation Army abandoned its Wokeness–how could they be allowed to provide aid to people in need instead of doling it out based on the “oppressed person” characteristic that have been your meal ticket your entire life?

      Health and safety laws for businesses are a role of the gubbernint and not business owners, otherwise, we’d be back to the days of poor health and safety conditions and child labor, accidents, deaths, etc.

      It’s such a ridiculous argument to leave it up to business to dictate the health and safety of each business. There would be no standardized practices and they lack the knowledge to address all the potential issues that could arise.

      If businesses can set their own health and safety rules then:

      A restaurant doesn’t have to worry about cleanliness or the quality of food they sell or how it’s prepared or the safety of the equipment.

      Hospitals don’t have to worry about procedures to protect patients and medical professionals and take precautions.

      Apartments don’t have to worry about addressing poor living conditions and asbestos and mold treatment can be dictated by landlords.

      Shall we go on?

      Very simple-minded thinking regarding businesses and health policies.

      To this day, many businesses are caught with unsafe health conditions, especially smaller ones, and most would violate as well if not for health and safety laws.

      No one is defending laws that are unduly burdensome but I would NEVER trust a business to be the decider of what health and safety precautions to implement. They CANT be trusted to do the right thing and we’ve seen that time and time again.

      mnw, I referred to the Newsweek headline that you posted as being “misleading” because of what Tsla posted later (I cleaned it up a bit to make it intelligible):

      “[The Salvation Army] released the statement below so unless they (sic) have changed their minds in the last 24 hours, for which I see no evidence of on the internet, they (sic) are trying to excuse their behavior away but they (sic) are NOT abandoning it. They (sic) claim, (sic) [that] they (sic) are clarifying it but they (sic) have not yet disavowed their position.

      The Salvation Army argued [that] the new guide was meant to encourage discussion about racism among members of the Salvation Army. The organization denied attempting to indoctrinate or tell its donors what to think, reminding people that the guide was meant for internal use.

      “The Salvation Army has occasionally published study guides on various complex topics, including race, to help foster positive conversations and reflection among Salvationists,”

      https://denvergazette.com/news/salvation-army-defends-guide-telling-white-people-to-apologize-for-racism/article_276d41ca-2ec5-5602-bfee-a94a033a7061.html

      So if the Denver Gazette is correct, then Newsweek’s headline indeed was misleading, perhaps purposely so. But, as I said, I don’t doubt that you were unaware at the time that you posted Newsweek’s headline that it was misleading.

The latter, Tsla, is an example of careless typing on a small keyboard with a small screen that makes it hard to check (particularly without reading glasses), while the former is an example of what happens when someone who never learned 4th-grade grammar tries to write something instead of merely copying and pasting (as you did with the paragraph in which the writer properly used “it” as the pronoun for the Salvation Army).

      No one is saying businesses can’t make hiring decisions as to what type of workforce they want. But there is a long history of businesses taking short cuts for more profit. To put safety and health decisions of the workforce or customers solely in the hands of CEOs, who are focused on short-term goals and profits, is incredibly risky.

      For one, there would be a lack of consistency.

      For two, we know from history that safety and health would suffer because they would often be set aside to increase profits.

      Also, comparing a felon to someone with natural immunity is not comparable at all. One is based on science and discriminating while the other is based on an individual’s judgment and behavior.

    360. jason says:

      “There is now a question if current vaccinations works against the new South African strain”

      Jadon is correct in his post that discrimination on immunity is very different than drug testing or criminal background checks.

      You’re mixing apples and oranges.

      Small companies are more apt to make poor and inconsistent decisions if safety and health rules are left up to them. You see a lot of restaurants struggle with this because their decisions could put the public at risk for food poisoning or contamination, as an example.

      Again, you are mixing apples and oranges.

      Requiring access to private medical records is not something people should be asking for if it’s not related to performing a job or accessing a service.

      Asking for someone’s vax status is like asking for someone’s proof of HIV status. It’s irrelevant to eating in a restaurant or performing work when the risk from them is no greater than the risk from the general public.

    375. Tgca says:

      385

      As it should be. The public has a right to be protected from felons, especially since the justice system often take shortcuts and felons are released early or tend to be repeat offenders.

      I think teachers or parents have a right to know if a convicted rapist is being hired to teach.

      Violent assault is also a concern in the workplace too since most people don’t want to have to deal with that concern at work either.

      The DOJ requires employees to submit to random drug tests, upon request. In 30 years, they never got around to me. Nor do I know of anyone else who was tested, altho I’m sure there probably were some.

      From what lisab is saying, it sounds like private company drug testing is trying to be more Catholic than the Pope, to me.

      Back to the SA: the fact that they’re EMPHASIZING the fact that their woke document “only applies internally” indicates that they’d like to back away from the controversy– they didn’t have to EMPHASIZE that in a follow-up, even though that was always the case.

      If you have no life like me, and poke around the web aimlessly every day, you’ll see the SA is getting a lot of attention from the anti-woke, at multiple sites. What charity would welcome THAT?

    379. Tgca says:

      390

      I think you’re getting confused.

      We are not talking about drug testing being common in the workplace, as that is accepted in today’s corporate environment. My comment was referring to it not being common in corporate America to leave health and safety policies and practices at the local level instead of company-wide level, especially when hiring. Those decisions generally come from HR and legal departments and not some divisional supervisor who may not be aware of all the legal requirements and risks.

      For example, I have worked at companies where administrative personnel are not required to take periodic drug tests but those operating equipment or driving company vehicles are required for such periodic testing, at the discretion of local management as to which roles need more testing than others but they still must follow the corporate policy specific to such testing and they don’t get to decide for themselves what practices to follow and not, as that would be a great legal burden for the company.

      Either way, it’s a moot point because drug testing or back ground checks are not the same as requiring proof of vax for Covid to eat or shop. That’s mixing apples and oranges.

      It’s way off topic.

    380. Bitterlaw says:

      380

      …and so the drama continues.

      When they rescind the entire practice and stop training employees in that manner, I’ll agree otherwise but they’ve not done any of that yet.

      I think they’re hoping their statement will satisfy folks but it won’t.

      Let’s face it! Many of these charities are run by community do-gooders just like those social workers who have a left-leaning slant.

      Until they completely rescind their policy on this wokeness, I will not give them a cent…and if I’m at a store and one of these folks ask for a donation, I will be very rude to them and let them know I think their organization is scum and bigoted and I don’t give donations to such organizations.

They are two different resources so let’s make sure the MSM is not getting these confused, as I did see earlier that the SA was asking for clarifications on the internal policy.

      The only good thing about this is that it may warn off other organizations from casually going woke, without thinking the potential backlash through.

      That would assume 6% will be the inflation rate for 30 years, which is not reasonable. If you look at the graph below, you will see it is a lot lower on average.

      Also the interest is front loaded. When you pay a mortgage you are paying a lot more than 3% a year initially in interest, and by the end of the 30 years, you are pretty much paying principal.

      Finally, the interest is compounded. That is why a bi-weekly instead of payment reduces your payments.

      I went grocery shopping in my very woke San Diego neighborhood (Biden carried it by over 80%). For the first time ever, saw a Salvation Army bell ringer. She was getting absolutely no donations into her kettle. By contrast, in conservative St. George, Utah last year I saw about 25% of shoppers donate to the Salvation Army. Am curious how much that has fallen this year.

    400. lisab says:

      isn’t part of the problem that few people carry change since the pandemic

    401. GF says:

      412- SDC, 80% is quite the margin for San Diego. Are you in Hillcrest or perhaps the SE quarter past 47th out to 65th (along the 94 fwy, a lot of the AA vote resides there)?

      Of course, Barrio Logan is gentrifying, and the woke whites haven’t driven the Hispanics to vote R just yet…

    402. lisab says:

      80%?!!! you fascists

      tch!!!

      my home town was 85.4% for biden

      provincetown rules!!!!!

    403. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      414. Yes it was Hillcrest, at the Trader Joe’s in the Uptown Center. I actually don’t live in Hillcrest. Several of the communities to the west are actually more conservative, some even often vote Republican if the candidate is more moderate. I am not aware of a community in the city that Trump carried. San Diego County went 61% for Biden, and there areas of the county that Trump carried, so the city may have been close to 2-1 for Biden.

      Hispanics are beginning to trend Republican in San Diego, but Asians now vote Republican often. The only Republican left on the San Diego City Council is Asian.

    404. Meldrim says:

      SDC, did Biden carry your neighborhood *by* 80% (e.g., 90%-10% or 89%-9%) or *with* 80% (e.g., 80%-19%)? If it’s the former, then it voted even further Left than Provincetown did.

    405. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      417. Biden won the Hillcrest precinct by 84.4%, to 13.9% for Trump. So lisab’s Provincetown at 85.4% beat Hillcrest by one point. However, Hillcrest will win in any contest involving a count of the homeless and nutjobs.

      I don’t live in Hillcrest, I am in the precinct to the west, and can see across the bay Bitter’s new home in Coronado (which went for Trump). My precinct went 76.6% to 21.8% for Biden. However, in the past Republican candidates for local offices have often carried the precinct.

    406. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      418. Actually I should be using the term precincts and not precinct. They group several precincts together in each community to see how it voted.

    407. Meldrim says:

      I just went to Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections to see if 2020 precintct data was available for Provincetown (alas, no), and I found that lisab understated how far Left P-Town voted in 2020. P-Town cast 2,402 votes for Biden for a whopping 91.92%, and only 192 votes for Trump for a paltry 6.97%. Biden’s *margin* in P-Town was 84.95%, which is almost as high as the figure that lisab touted as P-Town’s vote percentage for Biden.

      Lisab, you’re living in the past; P-Town has given the Democrat presidential candidate over 87% in every election since 2004, inclusive. (BTW, even in the 2018 gubernatorial election, in which veryl iberal “Republican” Charlie Baker was reelected with 66.60% statewide and received 73.74% in P-Town’s Barnstable County, Democrat sacrificial lamb Jay Gonzalez managed to carry P-Town by 21%.) You should move back so that the Green-Rainbow Party doesn’t keep underperforming there.

    408. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      Biden may have to change his pitch from “get the vaccine” to “get the useless vaccine”, and am sure Fauci will still insist on more booster shots. But we may be back at square one again soon.

      “Even as public health officials remain guarded about their comments on the likelihood Omicron will escape the reach of the currently approved Covid-19 vaccines, there’s growing scientific consensus that we’re facing a variant that threatens to overwhelm the vaccine barricades that have been erected.
      Stéphane Bancel, the CEO of Moderna, one of the leading mRNA players whose quick vault into the markets with a highly effective vaccine created an instant multibillion-dollar market, added his voice to the rising chorus early Tuesday. According to Bancel, there will be a significant drop in efficacy when the average immune system is confronted by Omicron. The only question now is: How much?
      “There is no world, I think, where [the effectiveness] is the same level … we had with [the] Delta [variant],” Bancel told the Financial Times. “I think it’s going to be a material drop. I just don’t know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I’ve talked to … are like, ‘This is not going to be good.’””

    409. jason says:

      Actually, Omicron could be the beginning of the end of Covid as we know it.

      If it is less “virulent” than Delta, which it seems to be, and more transmissible, it means more people will get it and survive than ever, and more people will gain natural immunity.

      This would eventually cause Covid to transition from pandemic to endemic, like the flu.

      The idea of producing a vaccine for every variant might seem attractive to Moderna, but hopefully not to the rest of the world.

    410. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      421. Meanwhile Fauci is claiming he is a science deity:

      “So it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science,” Fauci said in the interview. “That’s dangerous. To me, that’s more dangerous than the slings and the arrows that get thrown at me. I’m not going to be around here forever, but science is going to be here forever. And if you damage science, you are doing something very detrimental to society long after I leave. And that’s what I worry about.””

    411. jason says:

      The MSM and the useful idiots who propagated their message made Fauci into the Covid God, so it is not surprising that he actually believes it.

      The MSM and the Dems have co-opted “science” for a whole host of pet projects, including climate change and Covid.

      There are rumors that the best way to get rid of Kamala is to get her on SCOTUS.

      There are some pushing the idea that Biden should get one of the Dems in SCOTUS to retire and then appoint Kamala.

      What makes this even more insane and ridiculous is the idea then he would replace her with Hillary, who would then step in as POTUS before his term ends because it looks unlikely he can make it another 3 years, and then Hillary can run for POTUS in 2024.

      “The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions,” the network said in a statement. “When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother’s staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly. But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second.”

      Scheid was also sentenced to nine months of house arrest with electronic monitoring and five years of probation. In addition, a judge ordered him to pay restitution and costs.

      Scheid began serving his time immediately. He was handcuffed at the end of the sentencing.

      Scheid pleaded guilty in October to four counts of abuse of a corpse and no contest to charges he lied on death certificates.

      The screenshot of the tweet, which has no time stamp, reads, “The fake news wants you to believe I knew Ghislane Maxwell,I never met her,didn’t know Epstein,more presidential harassment & another hoax by the democrats.”

      There is no evidence to suggest the tweet is legitimate. It does not appear on Trump’s timeline, nor does it appear in Twitter searches for posts with this wording. No news outlets reported that Trump tweeted this.”

      “A regular nickel-cadmium cell, which is the most commonly used ‘re-chargeable’ cell, can pack between 40 and 60 watt-hour per kg of nickel cadmium. (This is written as 60 W.hr/kg.) The lithium-ion battery can hold 180 W.hr/kg to 260 W.hr/kg, depending on which other element the lithium is combined with.

      Of course, these are nothing compared with regular automotive fuels. Petrol, for instance, can hold 12,700 W.hr/kg — but then, we are talking about batteries here.

      You make a good point so let’s ask him if he still holds blatantly Liberal positions on certain issues. Let’s start with Gun Control and determine if he still believes that the CDC should play a major role in the issue; and if he has changed his thinking, what propelled him to do so.

    477. jason says:

      Actually, York, a former capital of the US (controversy rages as whether it was the first capital or the fourth), has a rich 300 year cultural history, and was at the forefront of many agricultural and industrial innovations. Even today it hosts many important industries, Harley Davidson and BAE among them. Of course, when you are an elitist suburbanite, you look down on agriculture and industry, populated by deplorables.

      As far as sports, York City only has 44k people, so disparaging it because it doesn’t have a major league team or NFL franchise is ridiculous. But it does have a professional baseball team in ALPB league, the York Revolution, with titles in 2010, 2011 and 2017. PeoplesBank Park has the distinction of having the tallest wall in baseball. At 37 feet, 8 inches, the left field wall of York’s ballpark surpasses the height of the Green Monster at Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox.

      So Bitter can keep insulting the York deplorables all he wants, they send him a big heartfelt GFY.

      At a minimum, then, it looks as if the county GOP really got its act together in that deep blue sinkhole, & it COULD be evidence of grassroots GOP enthusiasm as well, perhaps.

      OR-4, now suddenly an open seat next year, has a PVI of R+1, at least as currently drawn.

      Only about 1/3 of the 19 or so announced DEM retirements thus far are in competitive seats. Retirements such as Jackie Speier’s in CA (San Francisco; PVI D+30) & AA Rep. Eddie Berneice Johnson’s in TX don’t represent pickup opportunities for the GOP. However, these kinds of retirements probably indicate that these safe DEM incumbents don’t want to serve in the minority again.

      A digression:

      Speier’s account of Jonestown, & how she survived by lying in a pool of her own blood & pretending to be dead, is fascinating. Her observations about Jonestown are shrewd & perceptive also– how “the place had the look and feel of a pre-Civil War plantation. All the managers, bosses & armed guards were white, & all the people working in the fields were black.” Speier still carries a bullet that’s too close to her heart for surgeons to risk removing.

      Whatever Jonestown may have been in theory, in practice it was a combination plantation and prison camp, and ALL the people in authority were white. The Layton family ran the business offices in Georgetown and in San Francisco. Larry Layton commanded the security force, & he went to prison for the murders at the airstrip. There were between 25-50 armed guards at any given time, & guess what color ALL of them were?

      Jones trusted the Laytons to travel abroad & transact complex financial transactions on his behalf, too.

      Linda Layton also wrote a book, which is consistent with Speier’s account. I read that one too. What have YOU read that supports your position that Speier and Layton were “exaggerating,” please? What books and articles are you relying on to support that?

      I found Speier’s eyewitness account to be riveting and persuasive. With lots of illustrative details, such as how the service staff in the dining room looked underfed & were secretly stealing food that had been prepared for the Congressional delegation

      Speier thought the trip to Jonestown was dangerous and poorly thought out. She told Rep. Ryan that but couldn’t change his mind about going. She writes that she insisted on making the trip, however, because she was one of the very few top women staffers in Congress at that time, and she was sensitive about how it would’ve looked if she’d opted out.

      I have read a lot about Jonestown. It was a socialist commune, and the people there, including the AA’s were there because they believed it would be a socialist utopia.

      mnw forgets who was funding Jonestown.

      San Francisco liberals.

      He also forgets who Jim Jones left the liberal’s money to:

      “In the hours before he led more than 900 followers in a mass suicide-murder rite, the Rev. Jim Jones ordered the transfer of more than $7 million in Peoples Temple funds to the Soviet government for the benefit of “oppressed people” around the world.

      Jones’ instruction, contained in a letter to the Soviet consul in Georgetown who had visited Jonestown on at least one occasion, listed banks and bank account numbers in Pnanama and Venezuela where the money was deposited, according to testimony by Guyanese police officials.

      We want to leave . . . all our assets to the Communist Party and the Soviet Union,” the letter, signed by Annie McGowan, one of Jones’ aides, begins. “Enclosed in this letter are letters which instruct the banks to send cashiers checks to you.

      “I am doing this on behalf of the Peoples Temple because we want our money to be of benefit to oppressed peoples or in any way your decision-making body sees fit,” McGowan wrote to the Soviet consul.”

      Yeah, Jones was a real “right winger white supremacist”.

      And btw, “riveting and persuasive” left wing hack Jackie Spier got $ 360000 in reparations from Jones’ money, money that should have gone to the victim’s families, not her.

    550. jason says:

      in practice it was a combination plantation and prison camp”

      BS.

      Everyone at Jonestown volunteered to be there. Every single one. And they went there because Jones advertised it as a socialist utopia.

      In a universe of over 1000 people, of course some were unhappy, and no doubt Jones made it difficult to leave, although some did. No doubt Jones was an autocrat, a sexual pervert, and a manipulator. No doubt he used coercive and brain washing tactics. We know communists are autocrats too, not just “plantation” owners.

      But the vast majority of the people at Jonestown wanted to be there, and there are mountains of evidence of that in written communications and interviews from the residents. They did view as a socialist utopia, and very few wanted to leave.

      “Our study is an observational study, designed to evaluate whether protection provided by the Pfizer vaccine wanes with time by comparing the rate of positive [reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2] in people vaccinated at different time intervals before the test.”

    581. jason says:

      JeffP will soon be here to say “but what about Trump, he rode on Epstein’s jet once from FL to NY”.

      According to a new report from the Daily Mail, Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995 while Bill Clinton was president, even making two visits in a single day on three separate occasions.

      This was during the period that Ghislaine Maxwell was allegedly securing minors for Epstein to have sex with, according to prosecutors in a criminal case that is now ongoing against Maxwell.

      The Mail obtained visitor logs showing the visits through a request to the Clinton Presidential Library.

      Clinton has denied knowing anything about Epstein’s sexual allegations and has downplayed the contact that he had with him. Clinton issued a statement about his contact with Epstein in 2019 which seems at variance not only with what we already know but with the new information about the visits to the White House.

      In addition to the many visits to the White House that we now know of, Clinton also rode on Epstein’s plane — dubbed the “Lolita Express” by some — some 26 times and with up to 10 trips without a Secret Service detail. Those trips included a multi-stop tour of Asia and a trip to Africa which included Kevin Spacey as well as Chris Tucker.

      We reported previously that there were pictures that showed Clinton while onboard the plane and an investigative journalist alleged to Fox that there were sometimes girls on those trips.”

      Sinema Sees Vote on Spending Bill Pushed to Next Year

      Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “has been privately telling colleagues she doesn’t believe the Build Back Better Act will pass until after Christmas,” Punchbowl News reports.

      “Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) are the two most critical Democratic votes on the BBB. Manchin is publicly saying he thinks a vote may have to wait until 2022. Now Sinema is privately echoing the same message to her Senate colleagues. This puts pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has repeatedly said the chamber can finish work on the legislation in just a few weeks.”

      Color me skeptical.

      A recent poll shows that while a solid majority of about 2-1 believe Roe should be affirmed, the public is split on whether the MS 15 week law is reasonable, about 38-38, showing that some restrictions on abortion are not that unpopular.

      The relatively small number of Americans (about 20%) that think abortion should be legal in all cases up to full term are going to be voting for Dems anyway.

      I could be wrong, but I just don’t think the vast majority of Americans view abortion as a deciding issue.

      My observations about the political response to thepending Dobbs case out of MS:

      1) First of all, if MS wins, as expected by most, the real world effect will be that states will be able to prohibit abortion after 15 weeks, instead of 24. Can the DEMs REALLY gin up a massive backlash to such a minuscule change? Abortion will remain legal in every state, including MS. How many states will follow MS’s example? Maybe 15-20 lightly-populated states in the south, midwest, & mountain west?

      2) In blue states, where most of the population resides, Dobbs will have no effect whatsoever. Abortion will still remain legal “until the head comes out of the womb,” as Gen. Wesley Clark once put it. (Or whatever the current law is now in the various blue states.)

      3) The GOP can & should argue, “Why does the law have to be the same in MS & UT as it is in HI & NY? It didn’t use to be.”

      4) It’s up to the GOP to counteract the msm’s “Armageddon-is-here!” firestorm, by explaining how relatively minor the effects of Dobbs will be.

      5) I always found it noteworthy that U.S. abortion laws are more permissive than western Europe’s are, but this is probably inside baseball to the average voter.

      Trump supports Brooks, but the former President hasn’t had as much success in getting his preferred candidates nominated of elected in the Yellowhammer State as one would expect. Of course given the fact that Luther Strange accepted an appointment from the very man he was investigating for corruption while Roy Moore was a virtue-signaling theocrat with a penchant for chasing teenage girls, that’s probably not surprising. In contrast, Tuberville of course received Trump’s endorsement and had no problems in either the runoff or general election.

      Personally I prefer Britt to Brooks simply because Britt has the mammoth Shelby fundraising network behind her and doesn’t come across as the same kind of brazen self-seeker Brooks projects in public. Either will hold the seat easily, but I feel Britt has more upside than Brooks.

      That’s very encouraging news about NV Sen. Trafalgar certainly nailed VA Guv. Their last poll had Ynk +2.3, with “late deciders breaking strongly” for him. Complete results now show that Ynk won by 2.7%. A pollster can’t do much better than that.

      NV-04:

      The Power Line blog recently ran an interesting feature about a candidate in NV-04, Jesse Vargas, who has already announced & is seeking the GOP nomination. Vargas is a professional fighter, who either holds now, or has recently held, 3 world boxing titles. Vargas is of Hispanic descent– his parents emigrated legally from Mexico. Vargas switched from the DEMs to the GOP because “the Democratic Party left me, not the other way around.” He has lots of disagreements with Biden’s policies and record in office. Vargas describes himself as a strong conservative, fwiw.

      NV-04, as currently drawn anyway, has a PVI of DEM +1. Hardly sounds like the impossible dream for a Republican in 2022. The district is currently represented by an AA Congressman named Horsford. He held & then lost this seat once before, & then he won it back again in 2020.

      Vargas sounds like the kind of candidate the GOP would do well to nurture!

      Why the vote against private business vaccine mandates is a waste of time and Cruz and Lee are just grandstanding as usual.

      “Under the rules of the CRA, only 51 votes are required to pass the measure, so it’s conceivable that it might go through. But then it would need to be approved in the House, and it’s unlikely that Nancy Pelosi will even bring it up for a vote. Even if we were to imagine that it would somehow survive a vote there, Biden would have the option of vetoing it anyway and there aren’t enough votes to override him. In other words, this is all for show and it’s not going to wind up happening.”

      If the HHR fascists were really serious about opposing vaccine mandates, they would fight for measures like those implemented by Abbott and DeSantis to prevent private businesses from Nazi-like “show me your papers” discrimination.

      April 2021

      “Gov. DeSantis issued a wide-ranging order on Friday banning all businesses and government entities in the state from requiring a “vaccination passport,” or documented proof of vaccination for the coronavirus.

      The order, which DeSantis had previewed in an announcement earlier this week, states that “No Florida government entity … shall be permitted to issue vaccine passports, vaccine passes, or other standardized documentation for the purpose of certifying an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination status to a third party, or otherwise publish or share any individual’s COVID-19 vaccination record or similar health information.”

      All businesses in Florida, he wrote, “are prohibited from requiring patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business.”

      Now THAT is not grandstanding.

      Good question, but I have no answer.

      I would say Kutztown made good defensive and offensive changes in 2nd 1/2 and SU did not.

      Shepherd is 12 and 1 on the year and only loss came against Kutztown. So they must be putting some teams away so not all games were come from behind events.

      The game today in the second half, it seems Kutztown was giving a lot of open space on one side of the field, but SU was not running or throwing that way.

      I confess that some of his expressed views make me squirm– he’s been a big advocate for sex reassignment for kids. He’s spoken repeatedly about that. Also he’s talked up a Brazilian occultist and alternative healer who channels spirits. COD anyone?

      And he’s on record about systemic racism being a big problem for medical science. He once said the CDC has a “role to play” in addressing gun violence, also.

      Because of the conservatives’ experience with Trump, I can disregard all of that. If u talk for a living, you’re bound to trip up sometimes.

      So far, he seems to be passionate about opposing mandatory COVID vaccines, & only that. That’s fine, but those conservative advisors he’s signed up better teach him to speak conservative– real soon. He still has to win a GOP primary.

      “City supervisors in San Francisco unanimously approved an ordinance suspending the city’s business tax on cannabis retailers last week.

      San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, who penned the ordinance, said in a statement to the San Francisco Examiner that the suspension is intended to help out legal cannabis retailers who are trying to compete with illegal drug dealers and a spike in theft.”

      Kamala Harris is branded a ‘bully’ and accused of inflicting ‘constant, soul-destroying criticism’ on staff by ex-aides who claim she refused to read briefings, then scolded them if she was slated for being unprepared as ‘FOUR’ staffers head for the exit

      “@JackPosobiec
      Putin knows everything about Biden and Burisma.

      That’s why he’ll get NordStream 2 and anything else he wants while all Biden does is ‘issue statements’”

      A controversial statement, but Biden’s caving on NordStream was an appalling policy fail. It did grave damage to the U.S. both strategically and economically. Biden is making one bad decision after another. It is getting hard to find a Democrat who says positive things about Biden now.

      Wonder if the liberal press is joining in the attack on Kamala because they realize she is unelectable, and want her out of the way to make room for a better replacement candidate.

      Another attempt by the usual suspects in the journal Science to claim the Wuhan fish market is where COVID-19 originated. Thankfully, the New York Times isn’t buying the story and poked holes in it:

      “The scientist, Michael Worobey, a leading expert in tracing the evolution of viruses at the University of Arizona, came upon timeline discrepancies by combing through what had already been made public in medical journals, as well as video interviews in a Chinese news outlet with people believed to have the first two documented infections.
      Dr. Worobey argues that the vendor’s ties to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, as well as a new analysis of the earliest hospitalized patients’ connections to the market, strongly suggest that the pandemic began there.

      * * *

      Several experts, including one of the pandemic investigators chosen by the W.H.O., said that Dr. Worobey’s detective work was sound and that the first known case of Covid was most likely a seafood vendor.
      But some of them also said the evidence was still insufficient to decisively settle the larger question of how the pandemic began. They suggested that the virus probably infected a “patient zero” sometime before the vendor’s case and then reached critical mass to spread widely at the market. Studies of changes in the virus’s genome — including one done by Dr. Worobey himself — have suggested that the first infection happened in roughly mid-November 2019, weeks before the vendor got sick.
      “I don’t disagree with the analysis,” said Jesse Bloom, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. “But I don’t agree that any of the data are strong enough or complete enough to say anything very confidently, other than that the Huanan Seafood Market was clearly a super-spreading event.”
      Dr. Bloom also noted that this was not the first time the W.H.O. report, done in collaboration with Chinese researchers, was found to contain mistakes, including errors involving early patients’ potential links to the market.”

      FRAUDULENT UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS
      ————————————————–
      Because of COVID, the # of UE claims in WV went from:
      52,816 claims in 2019 to
      457,816 in 2020.

      The agency was overwhelmed.
      ________________________________________________

      Reports say that WV paid out $83 Million in FRAUDULENT UE claims during 2020.

      $82.2 Million was FEDERAL funds that were lost.

      BTW, WV has the 4th LOWEST–LOWEST fraud rate in the nation.
      ********************************************
      U.S. Labor Dept. estimates the NATIONAL fraudulent UE claims could be $87.3 BILLION.
      ##############################################
      So if you do the math, $87.3 BILLION IN UE FRAUD NATIONALLY means the cost spread out throughout the U.S. the fraud is equivalent to about $1,060 per family of four.

      “A spokesman for Mr. Cuomo said in a text message on Sunday: “Mr. Cuomo has the highest level of admiration and respect for Mr. Zucker. They were widely known to be extremely close and in regular contact, including about the details of Mr. Cuomo’s support for his brother. There were no secrets about this, as other individuals besides Mr. Cuomo can attest.”

      The paper also noted that CNN is denying Zucker knew the depth of Cuomo’s role in strategizing on behalf of his brother:

      CNN said in a written statement it is disappointed with Mr. Cuomo’s characterization of events. “He has made a number of accusations that are patently false,” the network said. “This reinforces why he was terminated for violating our standards and practices, as well as his lack of candor.”

      https://washex.am/31uiiTv

    716. jason says:

      So NYC thinks Crenshaw is a RINO?

      Let’s see..

      Crenshaw opposes abortion. In 2019, he received a 0% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America and a 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee.

      Crenshaw opposes gun control measures including bans on semi-automatic firearms. In 2020, he received a 92% rating from the National Rifle Association.

      During the COVID-19 pandemic, Crenshaw said that Democrats and the media were exaggerating the threat. He was a high-profile defender of Trump’s response to the pandemic.

      After Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and Trump refused to concede, Crenshaw was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the election.

      2019, Crenshaw voiced opposition to the For the People Act of 2019, saying it would “limit free speech drastically”. He also said the bill would use taxpayer money to “legalize” the kind of electoral fraud that he alleges occurred in the 2018 North Carolina’s 9th congressional district election.

      During Crenshaw’s 2018 campaign, his website made brief mention of global warming, applauding Trump for withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords.Crenshaw called the agreement “costly and meaningless”, virtue signaling, and bad policy.

      During the 2021 Texas power crisis, Crenshaw argued that the Green New Deal would lead to similar crises.

      In a May 2019 appearance on The View, he claimed that 80–90% of asylum seeker requests “don’t have a valid asylum claim”. PolitiFact rated his statement “false”, asserting that while it is true that between 20 and 30 percent of asylum requests per year have been granted since 2009, some of the rejected applications may still hold legal merit.[103] In 2021, Crenshaw accused the Biden administration of provoking a crisis on the southern border by having a memorandum on deportations and reversing Trump’s policies on asylum and illegal immigration.[104]

      Crenshaw supports enforcing physical barriers and implementing technology at the southern border to prevent illegal immigration. He has also expressed a belief that people who try to enter the US illegally “aren’t bad people” but “they are breaking the law, and they’re contributing to an unsustainable system” and are “cutting in front of the line of all the legal immigrants.”

      Crenshaw supports cooperation with and support for Israel.[7][114] During some of his public appearances, he has been targeted by anti-semitic white nationalists, known as Groypers, for his pro-Israel views.[115][116]

      He supported Trump’s decision to kill Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani.

      Crenshaw and Senator Tom Cotton introduced a bill that would allow civil suits against foreign states in incidents related to injury or death. The legislation came in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and calls for the Chinese government to be held accountable for “allow[ing] this virus to spread”

      Yeah, what a RINO.

      “So NYC thinks Crenshaw is a RINO?”

      -No. All of those other positions seem correct to me, as they do to you.

      I do think he, as well as the other 79 Republicans, voted incorrectly on that bill. How about you address that one vote, instead of acting like a liberal Democrat media personality?

      How does Crenshaw make sure that database stays confidential?

    719. NYCmike says:

      2020 – no vaccination database.

    723. Tina says:

      Speaking of Dr. Oz, I believe he has a lot of Rino tendencies.

      I believe his vax positions would be closer to a Drat than a conservative. He would vote for the vaccine dtatabaae that Crenshaw fell for.

      No doubt he is open borders too.

    724. NYCmike says:

      Well, let’s see – I was AGAINST Trump in the primary, due to his previous listings as a Democrat, an independent, and his support of liberal politicians. He won the primary anyway, and his opponent was Hillary, so I went for the lesser of 2 evils, and voted for him in the general election. I ended up being totally wrong about his liberal tendencies, and he was a great President!

      So that gets us to Dr Oz – he is a TV personality, but one who is dependent on the liberal media to get on, as opposed to Trump, who created his own news, and could get on anywhere. Dr OZ is a big NO for the primary. If he wins the primary, then we shall look at the general election race with open eyes to see if he would be the best candidate.

    725. Wes says:

      All right, Mikey, if you’re so opposed to liberal politicians, why has Schumer always been your pick for Senate Majority Leader?

      That’s an interesting–and completely contradictory–dichotomy you have going.

    726. NYCmike says:

      Wes, you make about as much sense as Biden.

      Stick to NC politics, where there is never any fraud, which means there is no fraud in the rest of the country.

    727. Tina says:

      How come the trial of the century, thr Justine Smellett trial, is not televised?

    728. Wes says:

      You’re the one who makes no sense, Mikey.

      You wanted McConnell to lose in the primary in 2014–which would have made his seat competitive and possibly compromised GOP attempts to regain the Senate.–and have never expressed a similar desire to see Schumer lose.

      Let’s look at your list of endorsees:

      O’Donnell
      Buck
      Miller
      Angle
      Hovde
      Mourdock
      Bevin
      Brannon
      Day
      Morissey
      Ward

      Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but, no, you don’t want Schumer to be Senate Majority Leader. Not at all.

      You just want Republicans to nominate every candidate who’s guaranteed to lose to a Schumer lackey (and has Schumer’s backing in the primary as in the case of Morissey) or cause an actual Republican to lose.

    729. NYCmike says:

      “You wanted McConnell to lose in the primary in 2014..”

      -Your first sentence starts off with a falsehood, so maybe that is why you don’t make any sense. I supported a primary against Mitch, and I would say that every year he is up for election.

      In regard to Schumer, Have you come out against slavery today? If not, does that mean you support slavery?

      Thanks for playing. Go take care of your wife and child.

    730. NYCmike says:

      Every single incumbent should face a primary every election – make sure they stay honest. Cruz, Lee, Paul, all of them should be primaried. I have no issue with that.

      Wes, do you oppose the primary system?

    731. NYCmike says:

      “Your first sentence”

      -Oops, it was your 2nd sentence. Sorry.

      But the first one was idiotic as well.

    732. Wes says:

      So the guy who on this very blog called for McConnell to lose to Bevin so Grimes would have a shot claims I started my post with a falsehood immediately before contradicting himself.

      There you have it.

      How much have you contributed to Schumer this cycle, Mikey? I’m sure you’re scrounging up to max out your donation.

    733. Wes says:

      Objection.

      Mikey, you’re the one who supported removing voters from the nomination process in Utah in 2010, yet you’re asking if I–who have always decried the Mussolini-inspired system Lee used to avoid having to face Bennett in the primary–have never wavered in supporting primaries.

    734. Wes says:

      Why do you want nominees chosen by small segments of the voting population who aren’t representative of the electorate rather than in primaries, Mikey?

    735. jason says:

      Have you read the bill?

      You really think all 80 Rs that voted for it are for big government?

      The database should be anonymous, not confidential. Confidential means it could be leaked.

      According to Crenshaw, the database is already being compiled, and this bill puts in restrictions and guarantees about its use.

      Maybe he is wrong, maybe he isn’t.

      What I do know is you are too stupid to have an objective opinion and I doubt you know ANYTHING about the bill.

      Having a vaccination database makes absolute sense. It has to be safeguarded against political manipulation, no doubt.

    743. Wes says:

      I did forget Chris McDaniel.

      Mikey, if as you falsely claim, you don’t want Schumer to lead the Senate, why did you support a creep who had a woman on her deathbed illegally videotaped?

    744. NYCmike says:

      #759 – had this argument many times – I supported the rights of the Republican Party to NOT have a primary, and then I support them going back to the primary system. It’s their state party.

      Did they do something illegal by having a nominating convention?

      Got it. There is nothing fascistic at all about that type of election. Let the states try different things, Mr. One-size-fits-all “Republican”.

    745. Wes says:

      Currently I agree, DW. In 2010, Buck ran a horrible campaign though, refusing to back down from his decision not to prosecute an admitted rapist because the victim was promiscuous and proudly declaring his opposition to abortion in the case of rape or incest.

      He tanked his own Senate run with that kind of idiocy. Worse, Obama used Bennet’s successful appeal to women to demonize Romney as anti-woman two years later, helped of course by misogynist remarks by Akin and Mourdock.

    746. NYCmike says:

      “Have you read the bill?”

      -No, I have not. I see that 80 voted for it, and have NOT outlined how to keep the information to not be used for political purposes. We have already seen how the IRS treats private data, why would this be any different? Because of the word “anonymous”??

      The simple fact is this: Vote NAY, and let the Democrats own it. Why be a party to any expansion of the federal government when it isn’t needed?

    747. Wes says:

      Ah. I see, Mikey. You support primaries–except when you want a small group of people to shut voters out of the nomination process.

      Completely understood.

      You’re a liar and hypocrite, but at least you’ve made your anti-voter stance clear.

    748. Wes says:

      Just to be clear, Mikey supports primaries–except when he supports disenfranchising primary voters.

    749. NYCmike says:

      DW, why quibble?

      I support the primary system. It is up to the “best” candidates to win the primary and move on to the general election, and then win that one.

      The simple fact is this: You either support the primary system or you don’t. Wes seems to have an issue with it, AT CERTAIN TIMES. The fact that he is inconsistent where I am not is a real issue for him personally……..but then again, he has a stripper pole in his basement. I have steel beams for support, not for stripping.

    750. Wes says:

      You supported disenfranchising primary voters, Mikey. You outright admitted it in 770.

    751. NYCmike says:

      “You’re a liar and hypocrite, but at least you’ve made your anti-voter stance clear.”

      -I lied? Where?

      I support the primary system, unless a state party chooses to have a nominating convention, or whatever the heck it is called, and I support their right to choose that if they want.

      Where did I lie?

      If given the choice in my state of NY, I may opt for a nominating convention, but at this point I am fine with a primary system.

Nunes is quitting because he wants the new (higher-paying) gig, not because he’s afraid of reelection.

      It would be stupid not to have a national vaccination database that would help with the next virus.

      I have zero problem with that, it is not “big government”, what a crock. We have spent billions on vaccinations, a database is certainly a way to provide some accountability.

      Now if is not anonymous and is leaked can be used for political purposes to punish the unvaccinated or whatever, then obviously it is not what it was intended for. But that is another issue.

      We have a census every 10 years. Is that “big government”? And it is not anonymous and the government has all the data. It is confidential and cannot be shared with other agencies.

      We cannot assume every government function is going to be abused. We have to prosecute the abuses as they occur, but we cannot say “everything is going to be abused so we can’t have any legitimate government initiatives”.

      I didn’t SAY that Nunes was leaving because he “was afraid of reelection.”

      Last time the DEMs made a furious & futile Banzai charge at him, even in his then-strongly GOP district. I imagine the fact that he long ago qualified for a full pension was a factor in his decision today. I also imagine that he didn’t welcome the inherent uncertainty of having to fight in some currently unknown new district.

      I can’t think of any incumbent GOP House member the DEMs hate more than Nunes. MTG just angers them, whereas their bloodlust for Nunes is based on the real pain he inflicted on them.

      Every time I post something here as “normal” it is in effect illustrating the power of the MSM.

      Ideas that would have seemed ridiculous even a decade ago are now mainstream even if not a majority. Defunding the police, calling oil company executives murderers at congressional hearings, midnight flights with illegals all over the country, condoning riots because “insurance will pay for it”, banning a President and conservative voices from social media, canceling Lincoln and Jefferson, playing the “black national anthem” at sporting events, men playing women’s sports, outlawing the Washington Redskins and hte Cleveland Indians, all normal now.

      The MSM is responsible. They are not dying, they are transforming the country to their ideology.

      When we were attacked by a much weaker opponent on 9/11 we only remained a united country for a few months. I wonder if we were attacked by a nation-state if we could garner the support to go all in on a war for freedom. I have my doubts these days.

Interesting fact – FDR did not go to the Oval Office to deal with the crisis. He stayed in a small library in the White House.

      However, as a war leader, Roosevelt was nearly nonpareil. He exuded necessary confidence during the war that helped keep morale high and let his generals conduct the war in the best way possible. For his handling of the war, he certainly deserves a place in the pantheon of great Presidents.

      On a note certainly far less significant than Pearl Harbor, 106 years ago today, Leigh Brackett–my second favorite author–was born.

      Zzzzzzz……what a crock of crap and classical straw argument.

      The US stopped its offensive into German and unoccupied territories in Europe and allowed the Soviets to occupy them first, no “war with Stalin” was needed. The US could have at least kept a lot more of Germany out of Soviet hands, and Hungary and Czechoslovakia too. Eisenhower was a fool who didn’t realize the strategic and economic importance of not ceding these countries to the Soviets, he was a short term thinker (and not much of a thinker at that) focused on the military operations.

      I give Roosevelt an A+ for lend lease and for knowing the war was coming and preparing for it. It was instrumental in keeping Hitler from taking Moscow and the Russian oilfields and other resources and probably from invading England too. Without lend lease, the war would have taken at least double the time and probably ended with a stalemate that kept Hitler in power holding much of Europe.

      As far as conducting the war itself I give him a C, he was bamboozled by Stalin at Yalta and consequently partly responsible for the Cold War lasting as long as it did.

      I give him a F on the New Deal, the fact the bulk of its negative effects weren’t felt until later doesn’t improve the grade in my view.

    827. jason says:

      And thousands of American lives were saved by Eisenhower’s decision.”

      Yes, there would have been more casualties, but not that many since the Germans were retreating and much of the territory that could be gained was actually available for the taking.

      We accept the loss “thousands of lives” defending South Korea, South Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. I am not so sure saving millions of people from Communism in Europe and denying the Soviets a huge strategic advantage and the resources of some of the Iron Curtain countries would not have been worth it.

      At the time of the Yalta Conference in February 1945, the Russians already had occupied almost all of Eastern Europe; had already set up a puppet government in Poland, and were in the process of beginning the attack on Berlin, which fell to the Russians May 8, 1945. Russian forces outnumbered Allied forces by about three to one in the European war theater.

      Then there was the issue of Japan. The U.S. was focused on preparing for an invasion of Japan, which was expected to be brutal and bloody. The U.S. was in no position to take on Russia at the same time — in fact one of the purposes of the Yalta Conference for the U.S. was to get Russia to join the war against Japan.

      Agree there was a a lot of naivete regarding Stalin and the Russians. But The Allies had to also admit that it was the Russians who made the Allied victories on the Western Front possible, as the Russians bogged down the vast majority of the German Army — which took 80% of its casualties on the Eastern Front.

      The U.S. did not “lose” Eastern Europe, it never controlled it in the first place.

      We are not talking of a war with the Russia.

      We are talking about Eisenhower’s boneheaded decision not to take all the territory he could have taken with an aggressive push BEFORE the Soviets arrived AND the idiotic decision to CEDE German territory the allies had occupied to the Soviets AFTER the war ended (see map).

      The buffer between East and West would have been been a lot greater during the cold war and millions would have been saved from Communism. The US was positioned to occupy Czechoslovakia from their positions in Southern Germany.

      And BTW, Ike himself admitted that Churchill was right, he should have taken Berlin first. It was also probable that the Germans would not have used the scorched earth defense of Berlin they used against the Soviets if it had been the Allies, as the German population was convinced the Russians would be much harsher with civilians than the Americans (and they were right).

      “Ike insisted in Crusade in Europe, his 1948 memoir, that he acted correctly in eschewing Berlin, but he opined in 1952 and again in 1958 that the decision was a mistake. Signs of a breakdown in the Soviet alliance were already apparent at that point in the war, and the advantages of the political leverage Churchill desired over the Russians became evident when Stalin failed to honor certain agreements made during the Yalta and Potsdam conferences”

      “Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk doesn’t have much in the way of nice things to say about Biden’s expensive Build Back Better plan. In fact, he believes the entire thing should just be scrapped.

      While speaking at an event sponsored by the Wall Streat Journal, Musk pointed out that once a lot of these subsidies, regulations, and rules pass, there’s not really a way to get rid of them, and to be sure, he has a huge problem with a lot of what’s in the bill.

      “Honestly, it might be better if the bill doesn’t pass,” Musk said.

      had the usa and ussr come to conflict, the russians would have quickly run out of fuel in germany — not that the usa had an easy time with fuel either, but the supply lines from russia were far longer, and they had many more men to supply”

      True, the Allies could have taken on the Russians at the time and expelled them from Easter Europe.

      But I understand the argument there was no public support for a war with Russia, which is also true.

      My point is Eisenhower left a lot of territory on the table that he could have gotten WITHOUT a war, and that proved costly as he himself admitted.

      I agree with Jason re: the U.S. not being aggressive enough in liberating Central and Eastern Europe from the Nazis before the Soviets got there. Had Eisenhower provided supply lines to Patton in the summer of 1944 (when his Third Army literally ran out of gas), he would have invaded Germany while the Soviets were still fighting the Nazis in Soviet territory and the U.S. would have ended up liberating Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, etc.

      Apparently Matt Gaetz used the possibility of nominating Trump as House Speaker to raise funds. Trump, meanwhile, is supportive of McCarthy being speaker.

      Quotes from a Forbes article:

      “Gaetz launched a fundraising effort in the summer after he promised to nominate Trump as speaker if the GOP retakes the House, though Trump associates denied he had any interest in the role.

      Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is in line to become speaker in a GOP-controlled House, after taking over as the top Republican in the chamber following the retirement of former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) in 2019. Trump said during the summer speculation over who should become speaker that he has “a good relationship with Kevin [McCarthy] and hopefully we will do everything traditionally.”

      Gaetz suggested in July that he already mentioned the idea to Trump, or was planning to. In response to Punchbowl News reporter Jake Sherman saying “Trump world” doesn’t want the former president to be speaker, Gaetz responded: “Who is ‘Trump world?’ I talk to Trump directly.”

      If Donald Trump wants to be Speaker (which he doesn’t), then he would need to win a House seat first. It is silly and ahistorical to believe that when the Constitution provides that the House elects “its Speaker” that it empowered House members to elect someone who wasn’t a member of the House, given that the Speaker of the British Parliament had to be an MP. More to the point, it is absurd to believe that there would be 218 Republicans who would elect as Speaker someone other than a House member.

      Trump is a resident of Florida, and the Constitution does not require that Representatives live in the district that they represent, only that they be residents, on election day, of the state that they represent. This means that Trump can run for the House from any district in Florida. I recommend that he run in the safely Republican FL-01, currently represented by a certain asshat named Matt Gaetz.

      So the Putin stooge and all around fool, Patrick Buchanan, is now demanding that the U.S. “Finlandize” the Ukraine. He even provides a quote from Putin: “And if NATO proceeds with arming Ukraine for conflict with Russia, we reserve the right to act first. Finlandize Ukraine, or we will!””

      Am not sure Buchanan knows that Putin is not particularly happy with weapons Finland is purchasing from the U.S. – the next generation, advanced stealth F-35 fighter jets; Russia will soon have these new Finnish air force jets along its northern borders, in close proximity to Leningrad and Moscow.

      “Finland is set to pick Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35 fighter jets as part of a 10 billion-euro ($11.3 billion) tender to replace soon-outdated war planes that are key to defending the Russian border, according to a report in local media. A fleet of F-35s will be acquired due to their capability and expected long lifespan, newspaper Iltalehti said, citing a number of defense and security sources it didn’t identify. The Defense Forces made the proposal to the Defense Ministry, which backs the motion along with top foreign-policy makers, the newspaper said on Sunday.”

      Since Buchanan thinks the Ukraine should be Finlandized; assume he realizes that it is entitled to modern U.S. weaponry? By the way, unlike Germany, Finland is substantially increasing its military budget to update its military.

    915. jason says:

      Being found not guilty means he is not going to jail”

      This “adaptation” of the judicial system is also a crock of crap.

      Being found not guilty means more than not going to jail, it means he is innocent. He doesn’t owe anybody anything and he is free to live his life just like anyone else.

      He doesn’t have to “live quietly”, crawl under a rock or fade into the sunset. He doesn’t have to “find somebody” and he doesn’t have to “settle down”.

      LOL

      Stating that Rittenhouse is innocent and therefore is entitled to live his life as he wants and shouldn’t have to crawl under a rock, live quietly, avoid publicity, not write a book or do a a book tour or whatever other restrictions Bitter thinks he should follow for the rest of his life means he is my hero?

      I love it here.

    928. jason says:

      There is a video of Biden with a blind guy at a KC plant. The blind guy seems to know where he is going but Biden says “where am I”.

    929. Bitterlaw says:

      How did I demonize Rittenhouse? I said he acted in self-defense and was correctly found not guilty.

      Jason wants Rittenhouse to write a book, have a book tour, run for office, become a motivational speaker and be a contributor to Fox News but he does not think he is a hero? LOL

      I am sure his corporation’s shareholders agree with this recommendation:

      “Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Wednesday that people might need a fourth Covid-19 shot sooner than expected after preliminary research shows the new omicron variant can undermine protective antibodies generated by the vaccine the company developed with BioNTech.

      Pfizer and BioNTech released results from an initial lab study Wednesday morning that showed a third shot is effective at fighting the omicron variant, while the initial two-dose vaccination series dropped significantly in its ability to protect against the new strain. However, the two-dose series likely still offers protection against getting severely sick from omicron, the company said.”

    935. SanDiegoCitizen says:

      968. “In the first week that the Omicron variant sparked global fears of a new wave of infections, a small handful of investors and executives with Pfizer and Moderna—currently the world’s preeminent makers of Covid-19 vaccines—saw over $10 billion in new wealth, with the Moderna’s CEO alone adding over $800 million to his personal fortune.

      Based on data compiled by Global Justice Now and released Saturday, “just 8 top Pfizer and Moderna shareholders” added a combined $10.31 billion to their fortunes last week after stock prices soared in response to the emergence of Omicron. According to a statement by the group:

      Moderna’s shares skyrocketed after the announcement and settled at $310.61/share on Wednesday 1 December, up 13.61% from $273.39/share since Wednesday 24 November, the day before the announcement. Pfizer’s shares rose by 7.41% from $50.91/share to $54.68/share.”

      Just a coincidence.”

    943. Wes says:

      The process was going through the Court of Appeals, SoHope. I guess Democrats realized they couldn’t win there and decided to take the case directly to the NCSC.

      We’ve had redistricting lawsuits before but always followed a lengthy timeframe for resolution. It’s unprecedented for the NCSC to demand such a compressed timetable. I imagine Dems know the NCSC is almost certain to fall next year and have decided to force this ruling early before that happens.

      Well, if I were Republicans in the Assembly, I’d play hardball with the Dems on the Court, see which Justices took contributions from the League of Conservation Voters–which brought the suit–and impeach them for conflict of interest. The Dem Justices would then have to surrender their seats for the length of impeachment, which would mean Republicans could get their legislative maps in place ahead of next year’s elections.

      It will be close but the odds are still the recall will prevail.

      Jason lives a quiet life in Amishland. He must be cowering to wokishness.”

      The intellectual dishonesty of this post is astounding.

      I chose where to live, a choice you want to deny Rittenhouse.

      At 17, Rittenhouse was a police explorer for the Grayslake Police Department and a cadet with the Antioch Fire Department. He was a certified lifeguard trained in CPR, defibrillator use and basic life support.

      He felt compelled to go to the scene of the riots to protect businesses and put out fires.

      None of the events that occurred subsequently change that.

      It doesn’t sound to me that he intended to crawl under a rock or become a hermit, lead a quiet life or settle down.

      Since he was acquitted, I think he should do whatever he wants, and not live the rest of his life in isolation because of woke culture.

    948. jason says:

      The recall election was certainly ripe for fraud, by either side. Every resident in the district was mailed a ballot, and there were unsupervised drop boxes throughout the area. You can bet ballot harvesting was rampant.

      If it comes down to a few dozens votes for either side this is going to be a real mess.

      The far left and the ultra far left will be eating each other alive.

    949. Bitterlaw says:

      Why did you choose to live in isolation? Don’t blame the llamas.

    950. jason says:

      I am hardly in “isolation”, since I spend a good time traveling and I am 45 minutes from Baltimore, an hour from DC and 90 minutes from Philly. This was the best place for my work while not actually being in an urban environment.

      But again, it was a choice you want to deny Rittenhouse because you want him cowering to woke culture for the rest of his life.

      I understand why you think that way since you lead a life of cowering to the opinions of your friends and neighbors.

    951. mnw says:

      Funny!

      WRONG– they’re not “rogue” at all. As we here know, they’re the intended result of a longstanding, nationwide effort to elect “rogue” prosecutors– and SoS’s, too.

      What makes the tough San Diego prosecutor unusual, i.e., the one who just threw the book at 8 violent Antifa thugs, is that he’s NOT woke! “Tough prosecutors” used to be the norm. Now they’re an endangered species, at least in blue states & major urban areas.

      The most satisfying aspect of being a prosecutor (I was both state & federal) is the gratitude of the crime victim’s family, btw. Police investigators share that feeling, in my experience. Letting victims know they’re NOT forgotten, & that somebody really DOES care. Makes you look forward to going to work. I can’t imagine what satisfaction woke DAs get from standing traditional views of justice on their head– msm praise, perhaps.

      I continue to comment on your hatred and constant disparaging of deplorables, your country club elitist BS about anywhere outside of Radnor being a cultural desert, and your general cowardice of trying to straddle the fence on every issue under the BS excuse of “looking at it from all sides”.

      And btw, lisab might be an utopian socialist, but she is not afraid to take a stand on what she believes.

      Rittenhouse is innocent but he has to live in isolation the rest of his life… geezus, does that really appease your woke friends and neighbors?

      Considering that Biden is the President, and our military leadership is more worried about white supremacy than about foreign adversaries, what would you think the Republican position should be?”

      I think they should put country first and politics second and encourage Biden to stand firm on the integrity of Ukraine’s borders.

      While I don’t advocate sending troops to the Ukrainian border at this time, I think Biden should pledge to provide the Ukrainians with intelligence and advanced weapons systems that would make an invasion very expensive in terms of casualties for the Russians.

      Contrary to what Tucker Carlson and the ‘endless war” morons think, countering Russian aggression is in interest of the US just as protecting South Korea and Taiwan is.

      Which is not a golf course. Calling it a driving range makes it more significant than it really is. There are no facilities there. There are no partitions or employees. You just bring your own golf balls and hit them. Then you go out and pick them up. I have never seen more than one person there at any time. It is next to a little league field but separated by trees and you have to hit the balls in the opposite direction of the baseball fileds.

    996. DW says:

      Just realized that we have now in 2021 lost a second member of the 1980 Miracle on Ice hockey team that defeated the Soviet Union.

      We had lost Bob Suter back in 2014, and have now lost Mark Pavelich back in March of this year.

      The team members still alive are now in their early to mid 60s.

    997. Bitterlaw says:

      DW – It was a great moment. Many people forget the US also had to beat Finland next to win the gold.

      As summarized in W i k i:

      Needing to defeat Finland to secure the gold medal, Team USA faced a 2–1 deficit at the end of the second period. According to Mike Eruzione, coming into the dressing room for the second intermission, Brooks turned to his players, looked at them, and said, “If you lose this game, you’ll take it to your f*cking graves.” He then walked towards the locker room door, paused, looked over his shoulder, and said to them again, “Your f*cking graves.” Team USA came back in the third period to defeat Finland 4–2.

    998. Bitterlaw says:

      And wiki did not use “f*cking”

    999. DW says:

      One of the keys that people also forget was that in pool play, the USA had the unfortunate first draw of playing Sweden, and trailed 2-1 late in the third period, when Herb Brooks pulled goaltender Craig for an extra attacker, and the USA team managed to score with 20 some seconds left to gain a tie. Without that, no later miracle on ice.

      Also, nearly as big a shock was when the USA beat the Czech team 7-3, this same Czech team was favored for the Silver medal behind the Soviets.

      But the Soviets refused to take the US team seriously after drubbing them 10-3 in an exhibition in MSG just days before the Olympics started.

      -jason,

      Do you actually think before you respond?

      I would not have to advocate, because for 4 years we saw Trump support Ukraine, support Poland, support sanctions against Nordstrom 2 pipeline which gives Russia power over ALL of western Europe, etc etc etc.

      Putin didn’t move against Ukraine, as he knew that country was supported by Trump, despite Trump’s restraint when it came to foreign entanglements.

    1001. DW says:

      Also a key moment that defined the 1980 Miracle on Ice was when a player from another team cheap-shotted Mark Johnson leaving him injured on the ice. Herb Brooks shouted out at the player, “if you do that again I’m gonna ram that %#%$ stick down your throat.”

      Thankfully the exchange was caught by an ABC open mic. It gave Americans a moment to see what its like to have a leader instead of Jimmy Carter.

    1002. NYCmike says:

      As a lifelong hockey fan, and a person who played roller, ice, deck, air, bagel, Czechoslovakian and whatever other forms of hockey there are, I am still waiting for the US Mens Soccer team to even sniff victory at the World Cup, a victory which in my opinion would surpass the upset of the Russians by the U.S. at Lake Placid in 1980.

      President Biden began a call with Ukrainian President Zelensky minutes ago, and he’s reportedly going to advise him to cede contested territory:

      b) Biden wants the world to forget about Neville Chamberlain?

      c) The ‘Peace through weakness’ strategy has worked so many times before?

      A couple of observations about Ukraine that will not be popular here:

      1) The U.S. has no military alliance with Ukraine, i.e., a treaty of mutual defense, such as America DOES have with NATO; S. Korea; Japan, etc. Such treaties are useful in deterring military aggression, because our adversaries know in advance exactly what the consequences of military adventurism will likely be.

      2) The majority of the population in much of eastern Ukraine is Russophone, i.e., Russian speaking. Several enclaves in Russian speaking eastern Ukraine declared their independence from Ukraine years ago; expelled all vestiges of the Ukrainian govt; & have been self-governing, breakaway rump political entities ever since. Russia recognized these tiny breakaway ‘peoples’ republics’ at the time they declared their independence from Ukraine.

      3) Partition of eastern Ukraine is thus a done deal as a practical matter. Ukraine doesn’t have the means to re-assert its sovereignty in these areas, & has made no attempt whatsoever to do so. At one time Ukraine very foolishly tried to suppress the Russian language in eastern Ukraine, e.g., by requiring that schools instruct only in the Ukrainian language. If you think Biden is unpopular, multiply that by 100, & that’s about how popular the Ukrainian govt is in the Russian speaking parts of eastern Ukraine.

      Draw your own conclusions about how deeply the U.S. should try to intervene in this situation. Similarly, draw your own conclusions as to the wisest course of action for the Ukrainian govt– cede what it already lost years ago as a practical matter, or try its luck fighting a war against the Russian Federation.

      If I were the Biden regime, I would make it crystal clear to the govt in Kiev that the 101st Airborne WON’T be dropping in to help them out.

      After Biden showed incredible weakness in Afghanistan, both the Russians and Chinese have been aggressively looked at foreign expansion opportunities.

      As the Wall Street Journal pointed out. Appeasing Russia in the Ukraine will just result in Putin moving on to his next target.

      “I commend the editorial board for its support of Ukrainian territorial sovereignty (“Deterring Putin in Ukraine,” Dec. 2). Russian President Vladimir Putin is probing to see how far he can revise Eastern European security arrangements…”

      To his credit, Trump provided the Ukraine with a significant amount of new weaponry, which may provide a better deterrence to invasion than Biden’s ramblings. Biden’s weakness is going to encourage other nations to engage in aggressive actions throughout the world against U.S. allies.

      Russia then claimed on state television that its new ASAT missiles could obliterate NATO satellites and “blind all their missiles, planes and ships, not to mention the ground forces,” said Russian Channel One TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, rendering the West’s GPS-guided missiles useless. “It means that if NATO crosses our red line, it risks losing all 32 of its GPS satellites at once.””

      #1060, mnw, there’s at least one other thing to keep in mind when analyzing Russia’s actions and threats against Ukraine’s sovereign territory. On December 5, 1994, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in order to provide security assurances relating to the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Basically, in return for the recently independent Ukraine to deliver to the Russian Republic the large Soviet nuclear arsenal that had been located within Ukraine for decades, Russia, the UK and the U.S. all covenanted, among other things, to (i) respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (which included Crimea, which had been part of Ukraine since 1954, (ii) refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine, and (iii) refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence its politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances

      When Russia annexed Crimea, and when it armed rebels in eastern Ukraine, it violated its treaty commitments to the U.S. and UK, and the Obama-Biden Administration did absolutely nothing (just as it did when Russia basically invaded large swaths of Georgia). What Russia is threatening to do now, which Neville Biden appears to accept, is even worse.
