True. It seems to be hitting a few roadblocks. https://thehill.com/homenews/4824496-harris-campaign-joy-sour-moods/ mspart

Well, those numbers show wages did not keep up with inflation, in fact real wages went down because of inflation. mspart

Yes it is when you do so only for political gain. No, not when facts prove your position wrong and you change to agree with facts. Now I was trying to make a funny about the double standard that is applied. R's are not allowed to change their minds. D's are expected to. Kamala, the architect of the Biden economy is now trying to distance herself from him. That much is apparent because she is going to "fix" the economy. But she really cannot hide who she is when she offers money for votes, $25k for first time home purchasers. That there is sound economic policy. mspart

Nice. I lived on Oahu for 4 years and would have visited if I ever found it. Nice place! The water looks like the water adjacent to the Honolulu airport. Where is this? mspart

Things are falling apart and all they can say is you need to report what we tell you to report. It is cynical. mspart

True. That takes a lot of strength. mspart

I do have problems with Trump. I have clearly stated numerous times that I'd rather have DeSantis as the GOP nominee. Walz just brazenly lies about himself and dares the truth to catch up with him. It is catching up. Just more and more instances of him misrepresenting himself. That's his resume and he has lied on it. mspart

This is a really good video. He is not pro anything other than critical thinking. mspart

Just another example of a man bereft of honesty. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13748345/tim-walz-campaign-lied-dui-arrest.html Some will come on here and say it was his staff that lied. Ok, but did Walz correct them? Did Walz direct them? It seems that this was discussed before hand and it was decided how to respond if it comes up. They completely lied and made up stuff. And Walz did not have the honesty to correct them. Whether he directed them to say it or not, he is just as complicit for his lack of integrity. He has lied about his service and his rank at retirement. He has lied about being in war. These lies have continued through the years as he was never called on them. He lied about being arrested for drunk driving. mspart

Yes. I hope the concussion he suffered will not affect his future. Best of luck!! mspart

I think going to the knees to prevent a pushout is not good. If a guy is pushing you out that doesn't change when you go to your knees. If you are already taken down, that is a different situation. I don't mind the pushout, I think it is amazing what they do to avoid it when it is imminent. But if you aren't going to wrestle hard, you get pushed out and penalized. Not a problem for me. Just don't get pushed out. mspart

Replace the tape each season. Or more often. I've seen this also and it is a hassle for sure. Tape is too short so it has to be connected, looks horrible and probably is an issue. But it is not cheap. mspart

He delivered for sure. But he went a different route than those experts thought. RDNA I don't think was on their minds. mspart

I agree on Flynn. Not on Covid. NYC was screaming for help because they had run out of room to deal with the pandemic. Sending the ship was an effort to ease that issue and the fact that it wasn't needed was further proof that is covid scare was just that. Firing Fauci would have been not been viewed well by a majority of Americans at that time. Should have happened but everyone thought he was who he said he was instead of some kind of malevolent force making up 6 foot policies on the fly. I don't think this demonstrates a loose cannon on policy. What could Trump have done, in the circumstance, to better work the covid situation? It had not been dealt with by anyone alive in this country. This was new territory. Sweden got it right and the majority of states in the US got it wrong. I think he has principles. Whatever eases pain for business he is for. Whatever increases pain for business he is against. Pro business is pro consumer as it allows all to compete on a level playing field. He is Pro USA. He is anti-war. He is anti onerous regulation. He is pro jobs. He signed a deal for Black Colleges that allowed them not to have to come to DC every year for funding. He signed for multi year funding. I think he has principles, but does not have much in the way of self discipline on the social media front. mspart

Its's all the far left has. They cannot argue the merits, they have to destroy the messenger with accusations they just throw out and hope they stick. Just pathetic. mspart

A pattern of things to come. mspart

Me too. I would rather DeSantis be the GOP guy but that was not to be. mspart

Yianni is not a multiple World and Olympic champ. And the previous year's world champ. No put down on Yianni but that's just a fact. I agree DT shoudl not be at the olympics, he proved that in the trials. But if he had been at the Trials and won as expected, then I think we would have had a different outcome in Paris. But his heart was not in it, you could see no fire. Nothing wrong with that, but if he felt that way he shouldn't have participated in the Trials. Maybe he didn't know and just burned out training for the Trials and just didn't want that grind for any longer. Or maybe he knew about the OSU job and was diverted. mspart

And that's the thing. He is crazy on social media. But his policies were pretty straighforward and worked. That's why you can't think of an example of what you are concerned about. mspart

Correct, the Ds stopped him from being able to do what he wanted. So too late, he decided he could move money around and get it done. Biden stopped that on day one. mspart

Especially in light of Walz spending years lying about his military record. Said he retired at a higher rank than he actually did. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he carried weapons in war. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he was in a war zone. Very easy to verify the lie here. Said he served 24 years in the national guard. Very easy to verify the truth here. He is not being criticized for the last item. It is for the first three items. mspart

Smoked Chicken or Smoked Salmon? mspart

I saw the title of the thread and knew immediately what this would be about. Based on your question, I have to question if you watched any of the matches of the Olympics. Many had challenges and many were lost. Go back and watch Dake's Bronze match. You'll see it. mspart

Yes, that guy was tough to understand. I'm wondering why he was speaking in English. Everything else was in French and then English. mspart
