Glad that didn't drag on and become an even larger distraction. Smart to move on.

1. I don’t consider that a handout whatsoever either. I just think we have to focus on the debt and deficit spending first and foremost. I certainly appreciate your concern for our vets. 2. I’m sure they would appreciate your thanks. Thank you for the recognition.

While I can definitely appreciate your sentiment towards our vets, with a 36 trillion dollar debt (and counting), I would say that doing both is not feasible. 50% savings on wasteful spending isn't going to clear that debt up. Private sector donations would be the way to go. For those who feel that strongly about helping out our vets, donate time, money (if you have it) and professional resources (pro bono work). We need to quit relying on the government to be our savior. They are the exact opposite. Separate yourself from government reliance. As people depend on handouts, they become passive. They don't push through obstacles. They wait for government help. Certainly there are plenty of those who do require assistance, but there are way too many that bleed the system - including our beloved politicians. They use frivolous handouts and deficit spending to garner votes - and to line their pockets. The vets are very important - but so is the well-being of ALL Americans and the strength of our economy.

I would respectfully disagree. Btw, both my parents were United States Marines - my Dad was a lifer... 30 years. First, we need to address the deficit. I would say that the administration needs to come up with (and adhere to) a budget for ALL programs while making sure there are ample funds for veteran's programs. I wouldn't just start throwing money at ANY program without a realistic budget. Additionally, as relates to veterans, I would hope for a revamped VA before I just poured money into that cesspool of inefficiency. Let's get the deficit addressed first which is only going to happen with unpopular and difficult cuts and doing away with frivolous uncontrolled spending. I'm not saying to kick veterans to the curb. I'm saying that we need to get our house in order before we keep spending additional monies that we don't really have.

1. Calling people "dummy" isn't very Christian-like. I would expect more from you. 2. You left off "Ho" from Kamala's resume'.

Be that as it may, for this game, the “Poor Silsbee” comment is a fair one.

I would too, but how does that have anything to do with my comment? Who didn't make the playoffs?

Poor Tigers

Well you’ve been on here long enough to watch your language too.

Talk about a let down.

Just a thought. Get better defensive athletes. They’ll get better.

Young lady, not to be rude, but, how many moons are in your world? Vidor has a better chance of being voted most desirable city in the US than their team winning this game. I'll be rooting for them, but I'm not expecting anything in return...

I probably would not have chosen Gaetz as AG just because of the optics of it all. That being said, I don’t think he’s been proven guilty of anything. I hope he does a good job.

So you don't have it to post again? I'm genuinely interested.
