Just to be clear about the grave danger being discussed, an analysis of the causes of death for the trans folks was done. Other than natural causes, auto accidents ranked highest, then suicide, then murder by spouse or ex-lovers. Attacks over sexual preference deviancy were minuscule.

Iran doesn’t call it an embassy strike, but you do.

Now Biden can tell Israel “Whatever you do, don’t aim that next missile at khameni’s bedroom window. Don’t.”

It’s Hamas that kills women and children. It’s what’s meant by “Death to Israel, Death to America, Death to Everyone Who Doesn’t Worship As I Do.”

Go back and watch the video I posted on pg. 17 - Climate - the Movie. Trying to limit CO2 is one of -if not the - biggest cons ever played against humanity. We’d be better off with more CO2.

That may call for a stern tsk tsk.

Doesn’t seem to carry much weight.

A Ferrari can do that to you.

New plan or old one? If it was the old plan following a normal process, on a case by case basis as the contracts were entered, there’d be no need for an announcement. If a change has been made, such as including the years of suspended payments into the formula, you might be proud enough to announce relief for those who twenty or twenty-five years later still can’t get a good enough job to pay their bills.

Or let the schools be the lenders.

This is a recurring problem that you incur. There’s a whole lot more to the story than what wiki reveals, although it does note that the plan that was enacted was not the same as Brownback proposed. I was listening to Kansas radio near daily during that time and there were lots of shenanigans involved, most egregiously by the teachers union. Then there was the lament of many that by the time they changed it, the situation was starting to resemble what had been predicted. And Kansas is a wonderland for bird and deer hunters.

On top of the years that the payments were suspended due to covid? And politicians are expected to represent their constituents desires through constitutionally sound procedures, not any avenue possible, not any means necessary. That attitude invites corruption.

Wrong again. Biden even acknowledged that the Court had told him he couldn’t do it, but he’d found a way around them. We’ll see. It certainly wasn’t through done through Constitutional legislation. He wants to be a dictator.

So, not an extra-legal, Supreme Court overruled, executive order? Done constitutionally, through legislation. I know you just overlooked that point.

From the Pistols Firing Blog: “Before this past season began, Coleman Scott, who wrestled under Smith, left his head coaching position at North Carolina to become associate head coach for the Cowboys. Scott has been elevated to interim head coach after Smith’s retirement and, by Oklahoma State law, the job must be publicly posted and open for at least five days before a hire is made, even if it’s an internal hire. OSU announced Smith and athletic director Chad Weiberg will host a news conference Monday about Smith’s decision to retire, but that release did not state anything about Coleman or announcing a hire.”

A separation of announcements may be out of courtesy to the men involved. The end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Thanks for all you did, John Smith.

As Eric Idle said, “I don’t like people who vent their loquacity with extraneous bombastic circumlocution.”

They create the problem, then they create problems trying to correct the problem they created. It’s like job security.

At least you’re maintaining the same level of honesty in your posts.

With a full glass?

And you post a link to another example of suppression. Good job.

The correlation is similar.

Hamburger helper works, but the hamburger has to want to be helped for it to be successful.
