We destroy the world's number sponsor of terrorism's nukes and they throw a couple of bottle rockets at us where no one is killed.  That's just stalling for time so they can get out of dodge!  That's not a war!

BTW, the new Iran slogan:  MIGA -- Make Iran Great Again!

Changed that for you Reagan

BTW, the new Iran Democrat slogan:  MIGA -- Make Iran Great Again!

They are all out trading their pride and palestine flags in for Iranian flags this week

Are we back up to where it was when Biden was running things?

When was Biden ever running anything

Did an LA news anchor actually report "a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn?" 

And some will agree with her I guess

They need to keep the masks. For their protection from retaliation.

Antifa needs to be unmasked

My Father pasted away in December of 2020, he would of been 90 Jan 19th.  I remember several months before he passed, I took him to Wal-Mart to pick up some things. That was a big deal in itself, because I drove his truck. He didn't want to give up the keys, but he had no business on the road. He had Lewy body dementia, so it affects mind and balance.

Anyway, we had to park several spots from the entrance and he was struggling to walk but refused to use a walker. I picked up a shopping cart on the way and he used that to help him walk and keep his balance.  I told him he should get a handicap sticker for his truck so he could park close. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, " Son, they only give out so many of those, so I don't want to take one away from someone who really needs it". 

Lying to benefit your family or any type of fraud, takes money or goods from someone.  BTW, my Dad was raised poor, lived on a houseboat in Louisiana and started working when he was around 10. He made a good life for himself because he seen what poor was. 

RIP to your father Sir.

I have backed out of this convo because this younger group thinks stealing is ok if your family really needs it.

Since u insist... taxes? How's this any different than the rich getting away with paying lil to no taxes? Ahhh the loopholes 🙄 

Has DOGE went after those ppl? Doubt it cuz it would include musk and Conald and a list of D's etc

The difference is they are not breaking the law in most cases. Taking advantage of the tax code is legal. I do not agree with it and I think the whole tax code needs to go in the garbage but that is a different discussion.

Who do you know that is on SNAP that has a real Louis Vuitton purse? 

I have no idea if real or not but a fake is $200-$300. But it is the rest of the list. Steaks, lobsters, crab, nails, hair, vehicle.

People presenting government assistance to buy "essentials" and paying cash for crap a lot of us can't afford but do without is stealing from the government (which is you and I). Taxpayers should not be on the hook for those less fortunate to eat like the wealthy. I know they may want to but NO.

If you skipped due process on the way in.......you don't get it on the way out.

My dad died in Jan 2025 from dementia related complications which were caused by hydrocephalus (fluid on brain) rather than.Altzheimers. He was misdiagnosed for  8 years, and i kept telling the docs that his decline was to rapid to be caused by Altzheimers ,so more research is definitely needed. A VP shunt would've saved his life if they would've properly dx him

Condolences to you and your family on the passing of your dad. There is alot we can disagree on but watching your parents, spouse, kids anyone you are close to suffer through these diseases just sucks.

This is where liberals want to lie and get on TV telling folks those repubs want to take away your food stamps.

No, no we don't. We want to ensure others aren't defrauding the system. We want to stop the woman that is paying for groceries with food stamps then in a second purchase buy ribeyes, bottles of wine and cases of beer with a roll of money in their Louis Vuitton purse. She will have a $200 hairdo and $150 worth of nails done. Roll it all outside and unload it into a $75K vehicle. She does not need food stamps. It is pulling money away from those that need the assistance.

Thank you OlDawg.

I think this is way overdue. My mom has dementia and it is horrible to watch. 

I like the cap on the infrastructure spending at 5%. Let the money get to where it needs to be, not in CEO's and politicians bank accounts.

1. Before managed care companies started to manage the Medicaid population they didn't have a PCP so the only option was the ER. Now we encourage them to get well child checkups annually. They are also instructed to call their PCP when they are sick

2. What does that have to do with someone being on Medicaid which is income based. Maybe they got an income tax return and bought a tv. Could you afford medical care without insurance? I am sure that you have a nice car, etc

3. Mdcp program uses the kids income so parents who have a lot of money use Medicaid as their secondary insurance because their kids are really sick

Sometimes it is better without insurance. I had an MRI 2 weeks ago. They called to tell me with my insurance the cost was $1738 out of pocket (I have a high deductible plan). I asked what it costs with no insurance...........$235. I told them I accept the $235 cost. 

So sometimes insurance isn't your friend

He is making cuts to Medicaid funding. 

That is quite a LEAP to get from making cuts to kicking kids off

If Trump is against it........they will be for it........that is guaranteed

Will be 61 next Wednesday

Great Longhorn and Great Chicago Bear

You will be missed.

How much does it cost per day?

Aftermarket tickets are stupid expensive. If you go to the masters website and create an account you can apply for the ticket lottery June 1st thru 20th. If you get chosen, you pay the face value for your tickets.

Should be a good final round.

Have any of y'all been to Augusta National? If so, what really stood out about your walk around the course that maybe you don't get watching on TV?

For me it was Hole #10. We stood behind the tee box and watched 2 groups tee off and you can tell there is an elevation drop. We wondered to a few different spots then ended up at #10 green. We looked back at the tee box and it looked like we were looking up a mountain. Elevation changes at that course are more severe than the tv shows. Also, concession prices. One place that could get away with charging crazy amounts and they don't.

The greatest week in golf. I am ready to go back and walk this course again.

Who are you picking to win it?

I will stick with Scheffler. I also like Ludvig Aberg this week too

It's called reciprocal tariffs.  They charge 20%, then we charge 20%.  The way it was, they charged 20 and we charged, like, 3.  That's not fair trade.  Now, what I imagine in going to happen, if other countries come down on their tariffs, Trump will match.  Again -- who's actually against fair trade for America?  

They don't get it Reagan.........the concept of fair trade. Hell, the concept of fair.

Trump did it so it has to be wrong. Only look at the immediate, today impact.

But, terrorize Tesla dealerships and spray paint and pick axe Tesla's is all well and good as long as their side is attacking mean ol Musk.

I don't know I believe that Paxton would win.

I am no Cornyn fan but he has a strong following, especially in the wealthy circles. 

I don't really want Cornyn but not sure I want Paxton either.

Senseless.........what is wrong with these kids today? 

When I was in school, a really long time ago, I got mad at other kids but never thought about getting a knife or a gun and killing them. Hell, we carried guns in our trucks but not to use on our classmates.

It's the dadburn interwebs.

If you can’t see what this administration has accomplished then I’m not wasting my time explaining it to you.  You hate Trump and nothing accomplished will overcome that.

Live your life, stop sitting around waiting on government to do something for you.

UH OH......don't contradict the liberal mantra........ lay back and let the government do everything for you
