  1. Maybe they were like the car mechanics who charge the women more.
  2. California is like a bowl of cereal. And they just elected adum schift to the Senate.
  3. Case in point. A Northern California dimocrat representative was explaining that the reason why they lost the election was they didn’t get their message out right. That they had passed multiple bills to spend billions that were to create jobs. And they were moving ahead with the process of shutting down five oil refineries and moving toward ‘renewable’ energy, away from fossil fueled energy. The problem was the people didn’t hear that message. From his elite perch he exudes the premise that good intentions are what counts. The voters get the message alright, and they want results, not intentions. California has already stressed itself with energy production restrictions and regulations, and experiences the occasional brown out or black out as a result. His thinking is the kind that allocates seven billion dollars, that after two years, manages to install eight charging stations to charge electric cars that nobody is buying. And now that the AI bubble burst is on the horizon, the hesitancy of some manufacturers to commit will be beneficial to them, but spells the same ol’ story for the jobs. Dimocrats would do well to refrain from giving messages and start listening to the messages the people are sending.
  4. I think it’s saying it’s a results oriented job, and if you’re not available and willing to do whatever it takes, don’t apply.
  5. That’s the way it was reported as it played out. Alford got 11 years.
  6. His data shows that there is movement towards equilibrium among generally racially and sexually identified groups. It doesn’t delve into the dynamics within the groups, such as are they generational members or are they recent arrivals. As Thomas Sowell pointed out, there is often more variation among siblings as between groups. How often do brothers live, vote, and prosper very differently?
  7. In honor of her husband:
  8. I understand she represents her constituents well. Very representative.
  9. I believe you are mistaken, at least on the term. What is she accusing him of? It was my understanding that she was a witness and had not accused him of anything. Had she, the local police would have investigated. The DoJ investigated and declined to charge him with anything. You think the FBI wouldn’t jump at an opportunity to get Matt Gaetz?
  10. Maybe it’s neutral like not in gear.
  11. https://www.businessinsider.com/kidnapping-conspiracy-whitmer-fbi-informants-report-2021-7?op=1
  12. Maybe the improvements to education that are in line from this administration can carry the emphasis on race right on out of the calculation. Reminds me of Morgan Freeman:
  13. Your fears are misdirected, other than for the proud boys, etc. About half the population of those groups are FBI plants - very dangerous fellows.
  14. Same here, and what a terrific selection.
  15. That reads like a list of over-regulation more than a critique of Musk.
  16. Correct. And they are working as an addendum, or task force, of the Office of Management and Budget, not a new department. They themselves can only make recommendations, of which due to the qualifications of the men involved, we expect to be more sensible and considerate than if done by a traditional D.C. operator who lacks business (Mitch Daniels)) expertise.
  17. If there’s nothing actionable in the report it is criminal to release it.
  18. It’s all going to be reported online - any and everybody can watchdog it.
