  1. He doesn't seem to understand SS and Medicare...leeching is apparently getting your own money back, lol.
  2. Once again, opens his mouth and removes all doubt.
  3. Haven't you heard, horse manure will melt the ice caps.
  4. I probably should have been more specific. I understand the "rights" one has with marriage (inheritance, etc.) but I was speaking more to the point that CB made about the gov benefits that are extended to man/women marriage and not to gay couples. I don't agree that you should be taxed at a different rate just because you are married or have kids, if that carrot was removed for straight married couples then argument over, no one else would be lobbying to get it. I also disagree that SS should only be eligible to be passed on to certain family members, it's their money, they should be able to pass it on to whoever they wish, straight or gay. I'm tired of this gov picking winners and losers. I understand this is as likely to happen as the flat tax or term limits, but one can wish.
  5. There should be no rights or benefits to marriage at all. Gov should not be in the business of marriage licenses and deciding that you can pay less taxes if you're married. Equal gov benefits for all....none.
  6. More proof that the LGBTQ crowd doesn't want to simply be left alone.
  7. [Hidden Content] From the article: The conservative group representing Colorado baker Jack Phillips vowed to appeal after a judge sided with the plaintiff, a transgender woman, on Tuesday following Phillips' refusal to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. "In this case, an activist attorney demanded Jack create custom cakes in order to ‘test’ Jack and ‘correct the errors’ of his thinking, and the activist even threatened to sue Jack again if the case is dismissed for any reason," Alliance Defending Freedom General Counsel Kristen Waggoner said in a statement. "Radical activists and government officials are targeting artists like Jack because they won’t promote messages on marriage and sexuality that violate their core convictions." Waggoner said the case "represents a disturbing trend: the weaponization of our justice system to ruin those with whom the activists disagree." "We will appeal this decision and continue to defend the freedom of all Americans to peacefully live and work according to their deeply held beliefs without fear of punishment," she said. We keep hearing these folks just want to be left alone to live their lives, fine, I can do that, not my business, but the truth is that there is a very loud group that wants to punish folks that will not put a stamp of approval on their behavior. Why can't these folks just find a baker who will bake the cake for them and move on?
  8. Wow....this administration would have you believe stories like this are nonsense.
  9. That’s the long range plan.
  10. [Hidden Content] One of the few enumerated responsibilities given to the fed gov and they won’t do it, so the great state of Texas will step up and handle it. This administration is pathetic.
  11. Lord, help us, we don’t even know what we are.
  12. [Hidden Content] caps are found mostly,cold to hold much moisture. From the article: Ice caps are found mostly on Greenland and Antarctica, about 9 percent of the Earth’s land area. Ice caps may be thousands of meters thick. Ice cap areas have extremely low average annual temperatures, e.g. −29 ºC (−20 ºF) at Eismitte, Greenland. Precipitation is low because the air is too cold to hold much moisture. Can someone actually explain why global warming that the experts claim is increasing temperature by 1/2 degree C in the last 100 years is melting the ice caps when the average temperatures remain at the average posted above? Serious question, just looking for a reasonable answer.
  13. 🤦‍♂️
  14. [Hidden Content] One more reason to not like the nfl...from the article: An Indianapolis police officer filed a lawsuit against the NFL on Monday over video and tweets the league published last year claiming that a Black man he shot and killed died because of "systemic racism." The NFL, as part of the league’s "Say Their Stories" campaign, honored Dreasjon Reed in a tweet in December. The NFL said Reed was "one of the many individuals being honored by players and coaches this season through the NFL’s helmet decal program." Indianapolis Metro Police Department Officer De’Joure Mercer filed the lawsuit in the federal Southern District of Indiana Court. Mercer’s lawyer, Guy A. Relford, wrote in the complaint that the materials the league published imply that Mercer "committed occupational misconduct and even criminal acts during the May 6 (e)ncounter with Reed, similar to that which were inflicted upon George Floyd." Relford called Mercer a hero in a separate statement, according to FOX 59. "De’Joure Mercer is a hero. He tracked down a very dangerous criminal wanted by the police, who was a threat to the citizens of Indianapolis," Relford said in the statement. "He put his life on the line and was nearly killed in that effort. He was completely exonerated after an exhaustive investigation into the death of Mr. Reed. For NFL Enterprises then to suggest he was involved in police or racist misconduct is totally false, defamatory and unacceptable. What happened here has nothing to do with racism.
  15. 🙂 Good luck.
  16. That was pretty good.
  17. If you can’t catch it live, they’re running reruns on Nickelodeon.
  18. Thank goodness for some common sense to combat the nonsense from this administration.
  19. A celebration of normalcy.
  20. [Hidden Content] From the article: "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., retweeted a video produced by an anti-Israel organization previously investigated by the FBIfor possible terrorist ties. On Tuesday, one day after she posted a now-infamous tweet likening the U.S. and Israel to terror groups Hamas and the Taliban, Omar retweeted a post including a video produced by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). The video shared by Omar depicted a Palestinian child being carried off by Israeli police forces as an explosion is heard in the background. In 2010, ISM was deemed by the Anti-defamation League (ADL) as one of the top 10anti-Israel organizations in the country. The FBI has also investigated ISM for possible links to terrorists, but FBI documents reported in 2020 by the Intercept did not detail any charges levied.
