  1. You kinda made my point. I agree with you that Biden said he would pick a black VP, and he did pick from a pool of minority women.....which would make her, by definition a DEI hire. I have no problem with that, a President can pick whoever he wants. The problem I have is the media and this administration denying she was a DEI pick...... If they think DEI is so great, then just admit it.......
  2. YES, I absolutely do. Calling someone out for announcing her heritage/race, then changing it is not racist. That does not even fit under the definition of racism. He is simply pointing out things she has flipped on. Democrats and haters will make it way more than it is, but I think people see through it. I mean, he accepted to go and get asked unscripted questions from a known hostile (to him) group of reporters. When is the last time Biden did that? Do you think Kamala will do a townhall with all Fox reporters or say Tucker Carlson? She won't, she has proven she is not good at off the cuff questions and answers.....She is horrible at it, she won't do it. She is going to try and win the election without getting in front of reporters........will it work, that is to be determined. Also, be careful what you wish for, that debate she is playing up (and Trump is not I believe by design) is not going to go as planned. The issue the Trump team is working out is different rules than Biden since she can actually speak........ It is amazing to me that Trump has been compared to Hitler, who is responsible for the murder of 6 million people.........the left thinks that is OK but is disgusted that Trump calls out Kamala.......I can't see where people might think she is Indian.....
  3. I think he has. He went up in the polls and it has shifted a little. Remember, national polls use popular vote. Popular vote has no bearing on electoral votes that the election is determined by. Look at the swing states....that is going to determine who wins
  4. I think his plan is to keep doing what everyone else tells him to stop doing. No one thought he would survive Jan 6th. His political career was over. Then no one thought he could survive the lawsuit's.....Then no one thought he could survive the criminal trials.....Then , not only did he get his case dismissed, he had a Judge rule Smith was illegally appointed as SC...then he almost was assassinated.......the entire time he just kept getting more and more support..... Then he makes Biden have to drop out.......then the media plays Kamala like the next Obama......we all know that is not true. We have Democrats happy that the nominee can ride a bike and climb stairs without falling and read a teleprompter without screwing up........Trump has not lost any votes, Democrats have just got loud.......it won't stay this way
  5. Careful......unlike Trump not being afraid to address black journalist, Kamala has yet to take direct questions from eager reporters....... I know you're more interested in beating Trump versus getting a good President. If you are honest with yourself, she was a horrible VP with no legacy other than watching the border get invaded.
  6. That is kinda the plan. I'm sitting on a good chuck when I sold my Lumberton house. I have a real good friend who is a contractor and builds homes. He will "build it" on paper, but I will do what I can and he will give me the time to do it since it's my money and we won't have a time line so to speak. Anything I can't do or does not make sense to do, he will do. I have a plan, just waiting for the right time to start it
  7. They are spoiled. My first house, brand new, I paid 75K in Lumberton in 2000, that was right before Lumberton housing went nuts.....lived there 5 years and sold it for $125K.......Now Starter homes are 200K.....crazy I just moved my Son(23yo) from a 1 bedroom apt in Austin to a 2 bedroom REALLY nice apt....2K a month. That is insane, but I looked at homes to purchase (was going to help him) - anything decent and over 1000 sq feet is 300K....lol
  8. 1. She really has not started talking yet...... 2. Trump has been in a number of debates with MUCH smarter people. Trump does not like to look weak. He will debate Harris.....I have a feeling he is letting her play this thing up........ 3. You were saying Biden couldn't lose.....until Obama and Pelosi said he could and replaced him
  9. My Dad raised 3 kids in a 3/1/1 in Port arthur. In 1983, after 2 kids moved out, he took in the garage, moved rooms around, added a large under roof back porch, including carport that attached to a 3.5 car garage he built. It is crazy what we get spoiled to
  10. That's not exactly true. There is an entire neighborhood behind the subdivision where I used to live in Lumberton called Westwood Village. The built brand new brick 1 car garage homes between 900 SF and 1100 SQ....I thought that was the dumbest idea ever......and everyone of them sold...... I'm keeping an eye on Silsbee for any deals. Due to house prices, insurance, etc.....they are now building 1300 sq ft houses for $170 sq ft....... $237,500 for a "starter" house....... [Hidden Content] You can come across some deals on homes that need work and are sold "as is" . I didn't really like helping and watching my Dad, but I'm grateful he taught me electrical, plumbing and carpentry so I can do 90% of the work that any house may need....you start subbing that out and your price doubles at least.......
  11. Read up from an article with pictures and facts instead of liberal talking points..... [Hidden Content]
  12. It was so close to the capital I can see where it was a threat.......lol You really need to research before you repeat MSNBC
  13. No, but if you stand on the street with it....not a crime......show up to a rally with it, not a crime...just like a piece of paper is not illegal until you write "give me all your money" on it and had it to a teller......
  14. It was a prop..... Did you know it was set up at 6:30am and was such a threat to democracy that the Capitol police never took it down....it was such a threat that over the 1100 people arrested, no one, including the Democratic Jan 6 committee, could tie (no pun intended) anyone to the gallows....because it was never a threat. Kinda like when jerks burn the American flag.....it's disgusting but a 1st amendment right
  15. I just want to confirm, are you saying and do you believe there were WORKING gallows to hang Mike Pence?
  16. For attacking the Supreme Court because they didn't give you what you wanted..... 1. Term Limits for Supreme Court 2. Ethics Reform for Supreme Court 3.. Essentially calling to overrule the SC's immunity decision. Republicans are already painting Kamala as a way left radical liberal.......... Now Kamala has to support this ridiculous idea with no way of it being done. The founders made constitutional amendments' hard on purpose.....So, I can't wait until the debates and questioning of Harris on these issues.
  17. You continue to just be "against Trump" and won't look at any other view. On 3-11 @4:37pm you wrote "Also, simple math would indicate that a vote for a candidate that can't win (Trump) is the same as a vote for the eventual winner (Biden)." You were wrong then......
  18. I think you are and here is why. She is still the VP - It is going to be difficult to support Biden's policies that got us where we are at (border/inflation, etc) and run a campaign who message needs to be change. How are we going to fix something if we don't change. How can she change a policy she currently has to support. Also, Supreme Court reform and Presidential immunity is impossible for several reasons, but mainly Biden is a lame duck now and he does not have near the votes to make that change......not even including the separation of powers....Want to see how Kamala handles those questions in a debate...... Likeability - No one liked her before the media played her up. She was polling at 1% before she dropped out in 2020. Today she is being hyped up by the lefty media, and it is working, but the more she talks, the more people will be reminded of who she really is. Accomplishments: Besides the title of VP, what can she add to her resume in 2024 versus her resume in 2020? "I screwed up the border"
  19. I guess that is why it is not a tight race and Biden didn't have to be replaced with someone that MIGHT win...... And the latest 538 poll shows Trump +4.......lol
  20. I'm not sure about the tax stuff but I do know Real Estate market is in a pickle and it does not take someone "in the know" to figure it out. I sold my house in Lumberton and moved to Port Arthur to my childhood home right before interest rates went up. The intent was to build on property purchased in Silsbee. It is still the intent, but with mortgage rates what they are, I have time on my side to wait until rates drop. That is what people are doing who want to sell. They don't want to leave their 3-4% rate to get 6% or higher. That means inventory on pre-owned houses is low. That should mean prices would go up......but there is no demand due to mortgage rates. One last thing about Jefferson county(my home town), it is expensive to live here versus Hardin county. The insurance rates are crazy. My home insurance over doubled moving to Jefferson county with a smaller home with a lot less. Car insurance went up too. I can literally save $2500 a year just living in Hardin County......
  21. I honestly don't believe that. CB is a parrot for CNN/MSNBC talking points......plus, even Democrats knew Harris was bad, which is why her popularity was 1% when she ran......but now, after doing such an AMAZING job at the border, she is ready to be President.....
  22. Of course not - you post to support your talking points.....you don't care about the truth
  23. That is all YOUR opinion......Fact.....Kamala didn't win her own state in the primary and dropped out at 1% popularity......what has she done to change that?
