    Did read it. I think a paper owned by Jeff Bezos publishing an article condemning government intervention in the economy  is very telling and there is a whole thread on here about beware who we get media from and the bias. I recognize WAPO is owned by Jeff bezos so there is no merit to any articles regurgitating the same points against any help for the lower class because he has shown in his business he is exploitative and supports anything to cut down the lower and middle class 

    Again, you are not arguing the article, but association.   What in the article do you disagree with?  Be specific.

  2. True.   I like gymnastics but not that aspect of it.   Can she be taken to some IOC court (or some international body) and forced to give it back.   Maybe the equivalent of UWW disbars her from ever competing again.   I don't know.  Seems like IOC has a lot to answer for in this.

    Oh wow shocking, a paper owned by one of the richest people on earth who got his wealth by famously being pro capitalism and exploiting others for penny’s is against the government stepping in and stopping corporations from seeing record high profits and wealth disparity 

    And yet you have nothing at all to say about the merits of the article?   Or is it guilt by association?  Or is it when they agree with you they are a good liberal rag, but when they disagree with you, they are a product of some unnamed rich guy and are in the tank for the wealthy?  

    Perhaps a discussion on the merits of the article would be an appropriate response.  Or you could just knee jerk react with an ad hominem that makes very little sense regarding the topic you are responding to.   Only you can decide.

  4. I was there as a company rep to a local business.   I lived on the west side, Makakilo hill which is in the second city of Kapolei.   This is on the way to Waianae from Honolulu.   It was great, I loved it there.   Unfortunately the assignment ended and we moved back to the Seattle area where we started from.   I think the sun was bad for us there.   I got a pre cancerous mole on my back that had to be removed and my wife similar on her nose that has been removed.   So it was probably not the best place for us fair skinned folks, but I sure loved it there.

  5. I think one of the great things that Trump did was put the lie in Obama's vision of lethargy in the economy is the new normal.   Trump killed that idea and showed that the new normal was economic growth.   Biden or his string pullers have tried to revive it but I think most know we can definitely have better days ahead of us.  

    What Kamala is saying, in effect, is that her and Joe's policies really bad and price controls are the only way to fix it.   This is pure bunk.   Price controls have  never worked.   It is a leftist's dream that it can work.   The only thing it does is stifle innovation and cause shortages because eventually manufacturers cannot make stuff cheap enough to make a profit.   So then you get an underground economy.   That is just a throwback to Obama's New Normal.   Which was proven false.

    Is changing you mind a weakness? 

    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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
