  1. Personally, I consider most cosmetic procedures, artificial tans, facelifts, botox, etc. to be wastes, but I don’t consider them character flaws, and in the face of managing an economy, defense, and foreign policy, insignificant. To prefer Biden’s policies over Trump’s requires a severe case of TDS or possibly ones sympathies to lie with the chinese ccp, the source of much of biden’s wealth.
  2. I think they should have the debates before the voting starts.
  3. I buy porterhouses, she gets the filet, I get the strip.
  4. I disagree, it’s not banks that offer worthless degrees. Actually, I thought the gov’t had taken control over education loans under Obama. I think it would make more sense to let the schools and banks do the financing. Maybe the schools would be more inclined to graduate students with marketable skills over what they currently produce. I don’t consider current interest rates to be terribly high, they’re not, historically. Seniors used to plan on their savings yielding 5% in a CD. My parents paid about 6% on their home, I had one at 13%, and knew of 18% mortgages. An economy that has low productivity and inflation outrunning wages is the problem.
  5. No, I don’t, but he does.
  6. Yep, even Obama. Remember, he’s only half black.
  7. In terms of what’s best for the country, I believe RFK Jr would be a better president than Biden, not as good as Trump, but better than Biden or Harris.
  8. Californian isn’t a race or sex, it’s just a defect.
  9. Polls show that over 75% of the population is against affirmative action and the dumbing down of academics to cater to lower performing students. Employers are adapting to this by administering their own qualification tests up to boycotting certain schools graduates to avoid ideologically indoctrinated applicants. In business, in the real world, merit still matters.
  10. Trump is also the only president who doesn’t have ancestors who owned slaves, and I don’t care about his, or anybody else’s, skin color.
  11. They’re scheming on ways to get around it. California schools are eliminating test scores as admission standards. There’s talk of using essays where applicants can explain the racial issues they’ve encountered. Something like 12% of this year’s entrants to Stanford are white males. Wonder what percentage are athletes? Biden voted against Clarence Thomas’ appointment, and yes, Biden was the chairman of the committee hearings that Thomas referred to as “a high tech lynching.”
  12. He’s gaining ground even though yutoob is censoring him. Do you think the undemocratics will let Joe debate him?
  13. Now there’s an illuminating contribution.
  14. The absence of the documents is being reported by some reliable sources. CBS for example.
  15. Adum Shiff on board.
  16. Charlie Kirk said they were interesting details. Which of those details do you consider assumptions?
  17. I think the primary significance of this is the BS that’s being laid by the TDS affected.
  18. It obviously put us in grave danger or cnn wouldn’t have released it.
  19. I wasn’t clear, that was a comment below the tweet. The post about Joe and Hunter was in case you and others hadn’t seen the news, but was also in response to Husker Du.
  20. Comment: “ Bill Jacobs @radiobilljacobs Weird how everything has at least a thread that leads to Donald Trump practically every....single....time”
  21. "I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,"
  22. You mean Prigozhin won’t be ordering his troops to lead Pride parades and celebrations?
  23. You can also smoke on a weber type charcoal grill. You build a small fire on one side and put the food on the other. Add wood chips for smoke and turn the food and check the temp occasionally.
  24. I would think the opposite. Most of the smoke flavor comes from the first few hours of smoking. Some people use an oven after the meat is wrapped.
