  1. The struggle is real. January 1, 1984 Amsterdam, 11am. I awoke as housecleaning was knocking on our door. She asked if we would be staying an additional night, I looked at my buddy who gave me a thumbs up, I tried to say yes but could not form the words so I just nodded. Feeling rather parched from the previous night’s activities I endeavored to rehydrate at the sink but my efforts were confounded by a spigot which refused to remain still until it was in the firm grasp of both my hands. Sometimes it just takes two.
  2. A basset hound can do all that AND negotiate a flight of stairs
  3. Don’t you find it a little disturbing that a major news network is bragging about being a propaganda outlet and making up news stories? Remember when Trump was derided for claims of “fake news”? Well there it is. Now that they have vanquished the orange man and folks are getting burned out on COVID coverage, they are moving on to climate change. More fake news. ”The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H.L. Mencken

  5. If masks and shut downs were effective, why does Michigan have more than twice the new covid cases while having a smaller population than Florida? What do mask mandates get Michigan? Double the COVID with half the population and a greater unemployment rate
  6. NPR reported Biden Administration is on track to admit fewer refugees than any modern President, despite his pledge to the contrary. Vice President Heiress just laughs.
  7. No he knew about it, he also knew that it was the safest and most economic way to transport oil. He killed the pipeline along with thousands of good paying union jobs on day one because he caved to the noise on his left flank.
  8. Lesley Stahl was interviewing a famous restaurateur (Tom Colicchio) two Sundays ago and he was talking about the challenges he was having. The main one being a labor shortage caused by the exodus of workers to the suburbs to live back with their parents.
  9. Portable toilet emptying is considered a green job “Estimating the impact of the green economy in the United States is challenging. Not only is there a broad and varied definition of what constitutes “green,” but there’s also no official data collected by the government.”
  10. That is because restaurant workers have vacated cities and moved back in with their parents. Pipeline workers are still waiting for those “millions of good paying green jobs” BTW The Biden administration is looking into: restarting Trump’s wall, militarization of the border, paying migrants not to come to the US and giving government workers paid leave to help babysit emigrant children. Sounds like they have everything under control.
  11. But that is exactly what Biden did. He stopped the keystone pipeline, costing thousands of jobs and his rhetoric effectively opened our southern border. On day one. No sober analysis no evaluation, just knee jerk reaction. Now workers and children are suffering the consequences.
  12. Why hasn’t Biden reversed Trump’s China tariffs?
  13. Michigan has mask mandates and many more onerous restrictions, how is that working out?
  14. That is very sad, so afraid of dying that you are too afraid to live. I took the kids to Disney, frequented (supported) all of my favorite restaurants, had friends over for dinner and fire pit, went skiing, mountain biking, fishing, camping and shooting, my son played baseball, football and now baseball again, both kids are in private school with in person classes and we are still alive.
  15. Anything less than 2nd degree murder and Minnesota will burn and many more people will die.
  16. Jobs A+ Economic growth A+ Inflation A+ Energy Independence A+ Border Security B No New Wars A+ Deficit F (same grade as every president this century) Supreme Court A+ The pandemic was/is a once in a century black swan event that no large western democracy handled particularly well. Only a fool would base a policy evaluation on a once in a century event.
  17. IOW real wage more than the entire Obama administration. That bell sounds like Solindra.....oh wait never mind.
  18. Pre-pandemic, or would you like to argue otherwise?
  19. I know you really want to believe that but the actual data showed that those tax cuts trickled down in the form of real wage growth and record low unemployment. With regard to stock buybacks, corporations have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to increase value. Its called capitalism.
  20. That’s the thing though, nobody is marketing. Instead the gun and ammunition manufacturers are having to defend themselves against conspiracy theories about why their products are in short supply. https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/guns/wheres-all-the-damn-ammo-federal-premiums-president-has-some-answers/
  21. As a cautious fellow, I stocked up on the traditional high demand ammunition when the prices were low. (.22, 5.56 and 9mm) I never thought a long range cartridge like the 6.5 creedmoor would be “out of stock, no back order available” What is the actual true cause of the guns and ammunition shortage?
  22. Got one acronym for you....SCOTUS. Not to mention, if history is instructive, the Ds will loose the House and Senate in the midterms. The only thing Biden is going to accomplish is pumping more guns (especially ARs) into the hands of U.S. citizens.
  23. Does anyone really think corporations won’t just pass the cost of their tax increase on to consumers?
  24. I don’t put much stock in what Trump has to say
