I actually love the location of PA.....I was born and raised here. I love the water and proximity to Houston/Galveston/New Orleans and Austin.....
There are just too many things I don't like
 

Retirement destination lol shiiddd 

See part of the reason I wanna move back out West lol

I went and got a quote from KIN,
$4322
standard deduction - 5K
Hurricane/wind - $15,550
Personal Property $77,780
Replacement cost $311K
OR......
$5971
Standard Deduction $5K
Hurricane $6220
Wind/Hail $15,500
First, I don't understand on the more expensive policy how they can separate Hurricane at $6220 and Wind/hail at $15,500....Most hurricane damage IS wind.....so, that is a law suite waiting to happen.......
This, plus flood and property tax is why Port Arthur is expensive to live,.

I love the proximity to saltwater fishing access in Port Arthur. Past that, I can't imagine thinking, "You know, when I retire, I'm heading to Port Arthur...". Lol.
Ain't happenin'.

I agree with that. Coastal counties are insurance challenged, and that includes Chambers. Co. too. I am "high and dry" with good elevation but some insurance companies wont underwrite Chambers Co. at all. We have been able to work around it with other companies, though.  I believe highly rated Kin Insurance covers any home in TX.

I thought about ur last sentence when I read the article this morning... 🤔
Interesting to say the least

As a rule = Public housing = increased crime rate / Apartments = increased crime rate
 
 

NBC News: Trump Admits Mistake: Donald Trump appears to have walked back his claim that he saw a video of cash being transferred to Iran.
Newsweek: "He valued the apartment at $327 million in 2015 and 2016 financial statements based on claims it was 30,000 square feet in size. However, the triplex was 10,996 square feet. The only thing they have, Trump concedes, is the triplex, which was a mistake."
NBC News: "On June 23, 2019, Trump discussed the border, why he stopped a planned military strike on Iran and what he called his “biggest mistake” as president: appointing Jeff Sessions as attorney general."
Joe Rogan Podcast: "I will say it always comes back to the same answer, the biggest mistake I made...I picked some people that I shouldn't have picked."
Try again partner. I can look up more if you'd like... Took about 2 minutes to look these up.

It can happen anywhere…..

I don't agree with everything DJT does. If I did, then I would be a mindless automaton like many people seem to be. But I can tell you right now, between DJT and Crazy Uncle Joe or Kamala the Ho, the choice is simple and crystal clear. Those were the choices. I made mine, and I'm happy with it.
The choice to me was to go in the exact opposite direction of where I thought we should be headed (Biden/Harris) or head in the right direction with a few roadblocks and detours to navigate (Trump). It may take longer than I'd like, and the detours may be a little bumpy, but I'm gonna have a better chance at getting where I want to go with DJT. The alternative choice (ultra-progressive) was not only never going to even get me in the vicinity of where I wanted to be, it was going to put ALL of us in a bad place.
Piss...moan... do whatever you like, but we will be in a better position when this is all said & done.

I have enough sense to not base Trumps term on his first 100 days. I also have enough sense to say I could change my mind in time.

Correct, and Reagan was concerned that lots of these folks were being treated like slave labor and this was a way to allow them out of their situation.  Like the idea or not, it is nothing like what we had under Biden.
Also, as you have indicated, there was another important part of Reagan’s plan, assimilation.
Pretty sure he wouldn’t have coddled MS-13 members either.

My guess is he is using their internal polling which has a better number. 
I recall during the election when polls had Kamala wining the Presidential election and trump and team telling folks it was in conflict with their internal numbers.....and by who is President right now.......they were right. 
Then add, who are these Republicans that regret voting for Trump? None of my Trump supporting friends regret it.... 
Lets be real - are we to believe the same media that told us Biden ran circles around his staff??

We like to call that a "tax increase".

This right here, China can't afford to lose us as trade partners. Their entire economy/work force has been built to accommodate the USA. They lose us, the lose the ability to increase their military and keep those factories open. 
I think people forget how powerful we are........
 

I grew up in Tyrrell Park - a predominantly black neighborhood. Those stories I told about looking back on the good times were with both my white & black friends. No matter the color - WE ALL SHARED THOSE GOOD TIMES!
Sometimes, life is what you make of it. We were on the poorer side than most. I never knew it though. I said this about my Mom at her funeral. "She made EVERYTHING out of NOTHING".
You can't tell me your Dad never laughed, never smiled, never enjoyed anything when he was young. YOU have chosen to spotlight the difficulties in his life instead of the shining points, though they may be few. Try reversing your approach, and I guarantee you'll be a better person for it.

Nope, I revoked his visa.

Make up for it for him. I dare say everyone here would root for you—regardless of your political disagreements.
Your Maker gave you everything you need to succeed.

Because it is a nonsense post
But if you want a few examples
1. America was great when my daughter didn't have to compete against males in sports
2. America was great when men could not use a woman's restroom because he "thought" he was a woman. 
3. America was great when there was only 2 genders
4. America was great when the Government actually enforced immigration laws.
5. America was great when I didn't have to return my shopping cart to a corral the employees did. 
6. America was great when I could go into a store and employees where doing work instead of playing on their cell phones. 
7. America was great when sports teams could call themselves the Indians and not be cancelled. (props to PNG for refusing to change their name and props to Evadale for still flying the Confederate flag because they are The Rebel's) 
 

When all these trade deals go through and the market recovers, his number will be fine. 
Some folks don't understand it is tough to be a leader sometimes. 

I wonder when the left will start talking about policies they plan to implement rather than bash Trump, which is currently their entire party strategy.
I hope they keep it up, assuring Vance in 2028, unless Trump decides to serve that third term.

Sorry about your uncles. As for your Dad, you weren’t even an itch in his pants in the ‘60’s. But, you’ve taken his seat at the back of the bus voluntarily.
As for the Trail of Tears, read a little. Educate yourself instead of feeling like you’re owed something.
