I’ve been watching the Trump vs. DeSantis showdown here and have a few questions. I voted for Trump twice, worked the phones and poll watched for him and am convinced he was the only one for regular Americans. He had the right policies for us. I have two concerns. He is supposedly a germaphobe and I think that influenced his decisions regarding Covid. He also didn’t have a team behind him. Many stabbed him in the back. How would it be different if he was elected for another term? Regarding Desantis, I watched some of his Iowa stuff and he...

I drove around with a workmate in a Chevy Sonoma last Wednesday for about 20 minutes. We were both masked. He is vaccinated and I am not. He is in his 50’s and obese. He doesn’t smoke and I don’t know if he drinks. I am 60 and smoke about 1/2 pack a day and drink. I am 5’9 and 189.. He tested positive and I went into quarantine last Thursday. I started having the sniffles on Friday. I went for a test on Monday and it came back positive today. Since I was positive, I was sent home from...

If your wanted to destroy the US, what would you do differently than what is now happening? They’ve destroyed the currency through these “infrastructure” bills. They’ve opened the southern border and are paying for the upkeep of these people. The’ve shut down our energy independence and are asking the Middle East to provide for us, They’ve destroyed the middle class through their lockdowns and mask mandates. They’re sending our best divisions to Kabul which will be a Stalingrad level disaster. If you were one of our senior political “leaders” and you were bought and paid for or blackmailed by the...

I remember watching the Yule Log on WPIX when I was a kid in the NYC area. None of us had fireplaces so a fireplace on the TV screen with Christmas songs was nice. This is a modern version that is appropriate and hilarious.

I received a speeding ticket tonight coming up hwy 7 from Ole Miss to Memphis. Since I haven’t had one in ten years or so, I found a few tings interesting: 1. The police were in the opposite lane and must have locked on without sitting on the side of the road with a radar gun. I imagine they have some new stuff that uses their speed against an oncoming car’s speed. Not hard to solve, but I’ve never run into it before. 2. Since it was at night, after I pulled over, I put on the overhead lights, rolled...

I was there. Great game. About three companies of Mids did the March on. Perry set the NCAA QB rushing record.

Navy finally wins! Trump looked good in his hat. Anybody else watch?

MILAN – Italian authorities say a bus driver transporting schoolchildren stopped his vehicle on a provincial highway, told the passengers to get off and then doused the interior with gasoline and set it on fire. Italian media reported that the driver, an Italian of Senegalese origin, was immediately apprehended. The motive for the arson attack Thursday morning on the outskirts of Milan was unclear. An official told Sky TG24 that the middle school-age children alerted authorities, aiding a speedy emergency response. Twelve children and two adults were taken the hospital but authorities reported only one injury. Video showed firefighters dousing...

It's been shut down all day! Post your horror stories.

The old style gasoline cans with the separate spout and vent worked fine. You could fill your lawnmower without spilling a drop. About ten years ago, the EPA mandated the new "environmentally friendly" gas cans. It is almost impossible to fill your lawnmower using these without spilling gasoline everywhere, including on the hot engine. I'll bet the new rule came from someone who never even cut their own lawn. How does spilling gasoline all over help the environment, your safety and your wallet? Bring back the old style cans!

Attendees of Fyre Festival thought they were paying for a one-of-a-kind experience when they purchased tickets to what promised to be a lavish affair. Technically, they weren’t wrong – but the unique experience which awaited ticket-holders on the Bahamian festival grounds was a bit different than the luxurious, supermodel-filled affair which they’d been promised. The new festival – run by Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s Fyre Media company – made headlines upon its announcement through a sponsored content campaign promoted on Instagram by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid. However, what seemed to be a glamorous...

We used to go crazy because of Obama's birth in Kenya to a foreign father and American mother. How is Ted Cruz different? Would a child born here to foreigners be any different? That's Marco's plight. I'm interested in seeing how the poo flings and also if instead of Marco or Ted, the child's first name was Mohammed twenty years from now with massive immigration and amnesty.

It's pretty much down to Cruz, Rubio and Trump. We keep seeing the polls vs. Hillary. If one gets the nomination, what blue states does a candidate have a chance of turning red in order to get to 270?

Just in time for Halloween, CNBC and the Republican Party treated us to the latest, and perhaps final, episode of The Walking Jeb. After Wednesday’s debate, many are wondering if Jeb can continue or if Marco Rubio delivered the headshot that would put a zombie out of his misery. In popular lore, there are many names for these creatures, such as walkers, biters, the infected, etc., but never zombies; even though we all know that is what they are. The reason for this is that in the shows and movies, George Romero never made Night of the Living Dead. These...

Crossover voters. They are an integral part of the Republican establishment’s plan to nominate Jeb Bush as their candidate for the presidency. This plan in a nutshell, well described by many, especially Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse, is as follows: 1.Change the rules of the nomination process so that the results of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina do not give an outsider real momentum. 2.Utilize the Bush family connections to fund Super PACs beholden to the establishment, which will be used to ensure his win. 3.Use these Super PACs to fund “splitter” candidates in certain states to enable Jeb...

A patio chair smashed the sandwich shop window. Glass fell around Midshipman Brad Kadlubowski, seated before a window, at the Subway shop in Baltimore. Inside, a father steered his wife and two children to the back of the shop on Saturday. His son has asthma; the father worried about tear gas. Another chair smashed another window. Everyone to the back, the midshipmen instructed. Families and Naval Academy midshipmen had come for dinner before Saturday's Orioles game. Protests over the death of Freddie Gray began peacefully that day, but ended with confrontation. By Monday, the day of Gray's funeral, protests escalated...

It is interesting to watch the aftermath of the Eric Garner Grand Jury decision coming so soon after Ferguson. “White Police Officer Once Again Kills Unarmed Black Man – And Gets Away with It” is already the reaction in many places. Sides are drawn and the usual suspects race-bait, pontificate, riot and ask for calm, or in Jesse Jackson’s case, donations. Other than there being a white police officer and a black man dying while resisting arrest, these cases are not similar, no matter what many would like you to believe. In one instance, the Grand Jury determined that Officer...
