Its OK, its OK, you've posted here long enough to leave us all in bewilderment. But at least in Texas you'll be superior!

If you're covered in blood from dressing your game animals you're doing it all wrong.

"Last year, Texas put $19.7 million of state funding into its three main homelessness programs – equal to about $806 per unhoused person. California poured $1.85 billion into its three main programs – or $10,786 for every unhoused person. Houston puts no city money into homelessness.Jun 28, 2023" Agree Texas wins! "Sweltering streets: Hundreds of homeless die in extreme heat Chris Medlock, a homeless Phoenix man stated "“If a kind soul could just offer a place on their couch indoors maybe more people would live,” ...Just in the county that includes Phoenix, at least 130 homeless people were among the 339 individuals who died from heat-associated causes in 2021.' Well Texas has low taxes. Letting the heat and no social supports kill off the homeless is one way to solve the problem. If Texas keeps it up soon it will have no homeless people at all. Must be all those church goers, Christians in Texas that comes up with these ideas to fight poverty and homelessness.

Why hunt game on foot when you can bait and shoot from the comfort of a Texas hunting blind and watch the Cowboys "Ox Ranch(Texas) has an $80,000 deer blind.. Direct TV with Sports Package Live game camera feed Poker Table Soundproof Walls Air Conditioning & Heating Fully Stocked Bar with Ice Machine" After all nothing goes with hunting like a fully stocked bar and a rifle.

Texas and California as recent as 2015 had the same GDP per capita but now after exporting many gun loving hillbillies to Texas. California now enjoys about a 15% advantage. Texas is a great state. It spends $4000 less per student on education. So it has more money for football stadiums. Texas is the worst state to live and work, according to CNBC analysis 2013 "Factors like Texas having the highest number of uninsured residents in the nation, higher violent crime rates, a low number of primary care physicians per capita, a strict abortion ban and laws targeting LGBTQ+ people were what made Texas’ score so low, per CNBC." Texas does have AR-15s well stocked in the local Walmart's though.

Although Biden called a spade a spade. I'd prefer if he would have said nothing on the subject. Xi is likely 1/2 as outwardly inclined to just be a criminal as Putin is. But at least he is rational. Typical for trump. Obviously angling for more hotel licensees in China once he wins re-election. Xi will go back and double down on intellectual theft and pandering to an anti-American base. Talk like that keeps business people from wondering why American sales are slowing. But he has enough problems domestically to keep him busy. About 20% of condominiums built in the last 20 years are either vacant or unfinished. Youth unemployment is rising and the rate of growth is slowing. Debt is a big problem, even bigger than America's debt.

Famous words uttered by all true republicans. No we're not RINO's were independents! We think for ourselves and we have critical, analytical minds! You may want attribute statements and representations like that to other physical factors, or shortcomings other than balls.

Republicans have been fighting for Americans in the Senate, in the hall and with each other. Here is the latest from the Lincoln project entitled Elbowmania

Nah: SpaceX hopes for second Starship flight test next week

"The Prosper Independent School District in Texas seeks to spend $94 million to build a new high school football stadium, a record amount for the state. If Prosper ISD’s proposal gets approved, it would be the most expensive school stadium ever built in Texas by $14 million, according to The Dallas Morning News. The Texas school district is seeking $102.4 million in total bond funding for the football project, with $94 million going towards the new stadium and the remaining funds used for renovations to the district’s athletic facilities." Sorry John and Jerry, in America engineering is going down the toilet. The new industry is sports.and entertainment. Sorry for that. I was wondering what it would be like to be Brent.

Diving deeper in the story Russia is painting 40 people of questionable loyalty to be a battalion, which normally would have 500 troops. No word if live ammunition is to be issued. No word if they vetted out the Nazis and fascists.

Well the US could send the B-1s to Ukraine. When trump is re-elected the US might end up buying 300-400 B-21 Raiders. "In comments given to the National Interest, former Trump National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien explained that the U.S. Air Force needs 300-400 B-21 Raider stealth bombers considering the growing threat from China's rising military might. ... O'Brien was considered by most who observed the Trump national security team up close in Washington as knowledgeable, politically connected, and able to move between the MAGA/populist wing of the GOP and more neoconservative elements. Many Republican defense hawks would consider O'Brien an excellent pick for Secretary of Defense, State, or even an outside chance at Vice President. " So a new $300 billion dollar weapons program. Perhaps if the US just bought off the Chinese communist party?

Old news. It just a rebranded trump revenge scenario to settle the score with everyone who crossed him in the last four years. The Insurrection Act is to be authorized on day one and the DOJ seized by loyalists. The act will be used to crush demonstrations by any liberals or democrats that dare to protest. A special advisor is studying how Netanyahu amended the constitution to shuffle aside the supreme court in Israel.

No Joe. Even though they are ignorant Wendy still considers them her friends. Conservative ones at that. Bless her heart. She probably volunteers at the animal shelter as well.

Putin should pay for his Walmart coffee. Foreign assignments can be very difficult.

All of the debaters really just want trump to be the winner. Perhaps they are running for VP in which case Ramaswamy is the winner. He knows every conspiracy and is ready to endorse the most radical of them. America is in a bad, bad way. i had no idea that 60% of Americans can't afford diapers. The person who said that didn't mention if the diapers were for seniors like trump or for babies. America's navy is in a bad way and underfunded by at least 50%. Up to 300 new ships are needed. Elections have noting to teach republicans. Abortion restrictions are the top issue as is more prayer. Hidden terrorist sleeper cells are everywhere in America. Mainly because of an open border. Mexico is going to pay for a new $10 billion border wall.

No mystery whatsoever. Women want to control their bodies. Republican male Christians want to control women's bodies. Together with the entire political discourse.

The US GDP growth is forecast to grow at 4.9% this year while Russia is forecast to grow at 2.2% The US population is growing by .5% a year while Russia is losing 1/2 million a year. Russian population loses from migration and war is equal to the heights of the covid epidemic. But Russia has a bigger asset in its back pocket in this comparison. It owns the US political right. It may own the next US president, again.

It seems to me that one is cheaper than two. Big doors beat small doors and margins rule the day. With capacity/day right after margins.

Based upon Russian battlefield performance and reports the Poles might have a chance. But the Putin kleptocracy is not in any way similar to the Stalin rule. I have heard recent reports where grenades, bullets, rifles, etc. are all in short supply. But that N. Korean artillery rounds have arrived.

I should have put those countries in the list as well. But I was thinking of countries that have been outspoken about Russian dangers. Thankfully Poland has just kicked out its right wing politicians. Although Poland has really stepped up military weapons purchases.

Only the Baltic states and Ukraine understand the danger of Russia.

So we have one of these ?

No wonder trump has so much fertile territory.
