  1. Who was the last president that did what he said he would do? I think people are forgetting about the Senate and House. Without control of Congress, very little will be accomplished, no matter who wins. Politics is too polarized in this era. But I disagree with you saying he'll be fighting with his own party this go round. IF the GOP has the Presidency, Congress & Supreme Court all at the same time, I think you'll be surprised.
  2. All VERY true. And it's both sides drinking the Kool-Aid. But I'll say it once again, I'll vote Trump over Biden everyday of the week and twice on Sundays...wait, did I just employ a democrat strategy?
  3. Idk why it posted 4 times, but hopefully CB gets the message at least once. Lol.
  4. Bud, I know a lot of your comments are used just to get a rise or to be funny - to instigate a reaction, but you're starting to sound like post sanity Robert De Niro. Lol.
  5. He was hired as the DC in 2022. He had previously been at WB.
  6. Not necessarily, but we didn't spend over 20 years militarily occupying the Middle East for nothing. Squabble if you want whether we should've been there or not, my point is it was important enough for both parties to continue occupying the region with a large armed force...for decades.
  7. Edited so as not to take away from the conveyance of the post: Aside from the religious implications, (since not everyone is a Jew or a Christian), there are many reasons for the United States to support Israel. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It has been a partner to U.S. security and intelligence efforts for decades. Almost as many Jews live in the U.S. as in Israel, so personal connections are plentiful. Israel is one of the U.S.'s most important allies.
  8. I've never told anyone this, but she asked me to father her child... Regardless of the vasectomy, I tried anyway.
  9. Just read the article. That was certainly unfortunate on several levels for both parties involved.
  10. Maybe, but they will definitely spin this as an election year win at the border for the Biden administration when he has literally done nothing to help matters at the border.
  11. Aside from the religious implications, (since not everyone is a Jew or a Christian), there are many reasons for the United States to support Israel. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It has been a partner to U.S. security and intelligence efforts for decades. Almost as many Jews live in the U.S. as in Israel, so personal connections are plentiful. It may very well be the most important ally the U.S. has.
  12. FYI: Whites are 59% of the population, but use 43% of welfare programs .7288 Hispanics are 19% of the population, but use 26% of welfare programs 1.3684 Blacks are 13% of the population, but use 23% of welfare programs 1.7692 Your claim is grossly misleading. The black population uses welfare almost 2.5 times more than the white population and 1.29 times more than Hispanics. I think if someone truly needs a governmental assistance program that is unable to work, then they should have access to it. I think children should be fed. That's not what is happening though...
  13. Is this true percentage-wise (per capita)? Or just raw numbers?
  14. Most "fans" have never coached a day in their life and don't understand. Hopefully H can pull it out of the ditch this year...
  15. Tell me which part of that recording proves anything? And I'm on Trump's side, btw.
  16. Yep. But as a whole, I've been pretty disenchanted with the Boy Scouts organization for a long time.
  17. He’s actually referring to an actual book entitled “Scouting for Boys” written in 1908 by a British Army officer thought to have begun the scouting movement. Waters was probably using this line to show that the kid had a normal life before becoming a musician and a part of the machine (the music industry). An excellent song. One of many by Pink Floyd.
  18. Par for the course this time of year. Lol.
  19. I've seen 'em. Pretty sweet.
  20. No real argument there including band, drill team, twirlers, flag corps, etc. - except - at least for cheerleading (I can't speak on the others), all the uniforms, matching work out clothes for camp (5 outfits), many travel expenses, and other things are not paid for by the district. It's the parents who foot the bill.
