I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.”
He said, “NO!”
I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
He said, “OK.”
I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
Bill Gates said, “NO.”
I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
Bill Gates said, “OK.”
I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.
He said, “NO.”
I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
He said, “OK.”
This is exactly how politics works.

Stay on topic...we are much more worried about Trump's tax returns, which have no effect on policy, than we are about this kind of stuff.
Move along, citizen...nothing to see here.

After all the corruption the past 8 yrs,I'm just honing my skills for my right to bear arms(do not tread on Me).I'm old/gonna die 1 day,come and take my guns if you can.At least give me dignity to fight again to protect the rights hundreds of thousands have been wounded or died for defending our nation against evil.Hard working Americans w/weapons & willing to fight IS the ONLY reason we have elections.Politicians are making us soft w/all the gimme crap,now we have decades of people dependent in return for a VOTER registration card.The more kids you bear the more given,meanwhile grandparents house thousands,many on social security that our gov has borrowed from many times(scary huh).I never would've believed somebody covered w/tatoos could buy lobster w/lonestar card

LumRaiderFan reacted to Hagar in Vidor is backing the blue!
And as TVC pointed out, the blue stripe supports a Govt organization Police Officers. Those officers come from All ethnic backgrounds, like all other Govt organizations (Military, DHS, FBI, etc etc). They are not a political movement. I'm sorry, but if anyone is trying to compare support for Police with racism, I'd have to question their acceptance of all races.

LumRaiderFan reacted to bullets13 in Making America Great Again-question
Through my job I can attest that many folks get free housing, free cell phones, free food, free daycare,and free healthcare. I think that would qualify as "free stuff". Now, I'm not one of these people that thinks that all of these services should be disbanded, with the poor left to starve in the streets, but there is gross abuse of these programs, and a major overhaul is needed.

Red Shoe Day: A Day of Remembrance

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Sometimes our lives are touched by friends who,
though they are only able to stay a while, continue to live in our hearts and memories forever. Red shoe day, held on July 25th, is to remember all those we have lost to invisible illness such as Lyme, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and the many more illnesses that are invisible. In the broad sense of the term, invisible illnesses are those that are generally "invisible", not only from the outward appearance of the person, but also seemingly invisible to appropriate research, treatment and care of the thousands of people that are living with them. Many living with these illnesses are also "invisible" to society, as their health is such that they are confined to their houses, (and many to their beds) for months, even years.
The online communities and support groups are a lifeline to many who are unable to leave their beds/houses and are also an excellent source of information for those looking for support in discussing treatment pathways and coping strategies. The people within these communities/groups understand the struggles and adversity with very little explanation. Finding "someone like you", leads to many friendships being developed, and the loss of someone from this community is felt by many, even those on the other side of the world.
Each death brings a heightened sense of anger (and a numerous range of other feelings) at the injustice of their illness being ignored. It is also hard, as whilst many offer comfort to those affected, it also brings a sense of ones own mortality (or that of the loved one you are caring for) to the fore.
We would therefore like to encourage the view that whilst the 25th of July is for remembering all those lost, it is not only to remember their passing, it also to celebrate their life and to remember and share the wonderful memories their time on this earth gave us.
On July 25th, wear your Red Shoes in memory of those who now walk elsewhere. Post the picture and your memories to our facebook page - which we will then upload to the website as a permanent reminder. -

National Hamburger Day
On this Day in 1900 the first ‘hamburgers’ were served at Louis’ Lunch diner in New Haven, Connecticut.
Five Food Finds about Hamburgers
The oldest fast food restaurant in the world is the White Castle franchise, which opened in 1921. The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home. The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin. However, the hamburger in its current form, with ground beef and a bun, is a decidedly American creation. Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Today’s Food History

1586 The potato was introduced to England. It is claimed that Sir Thomas Harriot introduced potatoes to England on this day. (Some sources give December 3 as the date).
