You're 100% correct, that's why I say just leaving us the f*** alone. If the US can back itself down to be run by the people (locally, state level) then a lot of those issues vanish. Get back to community and away from centralization and the culture shifts with it as people take care of themselves and their neighbors.

The China stuff is part of this, too. Encouraging shorter, greener, safer, community supply chains is how we get there. Are there things that aren't political? Sure. But some of this culture change will come by taking the government out of it.

I see what your saying and agree in large part. However, easier said than done. No politician would do anything to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security because they would lose every vote for anyone over 60 and it would be political suicide.

A sad truth is that if all of a sudden, everyone 60 or older passed away across the globe, the world economy (outside of healthcare) would likely explode and the housing issues would be gone over night. Prior to the modern era, Children often acquired their parents house when they reach the age of adulthood. Most of the time their parents would pass away. If their parents were alive, the children would care for them.

Now days, people live until their 90s and the inheritance that children often got in their 20s and 30s to help them grow is not there anymore. I don't know of a real solution, I just see the problems.

There are a lot of things in modern society that we still haven't addressed very well that are just every day in our life but cause more issues than we think.

Even talking about abortion with my wife, there wasn't laws about abortion at all in the 1800s or earlier because it just wasn't that common. Why? There wasn't as much (still happened some) premarital sex or extramarital sex. Why? People mostly lived isolated on farms or small communities. Women also married very young so they were already married to a husband during their late teens and 20s. This has also led to children growing up in less stable families result in greater crime or poverty as well as older people not having reliable children or family members to lean on during late stages of their life.

I am not saying modern societies are all bad, there has just been massive social changes that have never been talked about or addressed. I will state that I think a lot of the major USA issues are also global issues. You get a lot of the same problems in most societies today.

Isn't this in the context of Covid? (aerial virus) He had clearly stated that particulates (maybe he said debris?) could be limited by these types of masks. So if we are talking about airborne viral (and maybe even bacterial) transmission then you really don't have the "gotcha" here.

Could have been worse. The bloom is off the rose. The Obamas are as out of touch with everyday Americans as Kamala was. It's the policy people are sick of and they represent the same thing.

You say that and maybe you’re right but Harris was a horrible communicator. It’s shocking how easy is to fool people if you are a good communicator. Look at Barack. He is a great communicator but most of the time he wouldn’t say anything of substance. Michelle has a huge following, can communicate much more effectively than Harris and I believe she would’ve beaten Trump. Harris was just a horrible candidate.

Edit: And that horrible candidate still got nearly 70M votes.

Do you have a limit on recidivism?? Career criminals with 100s of arrest, what should we do with them

I'm fine with added time with each conviction, not a supporter of the 3 strikes law but each subsequent conviction should get a stiffer sentence. But once the sentence is complete all rights should be restored.

Yep, there is only one reason why it is allowed to happen, fraud. They know it, we know it. Like I said, Broward and Miami Dade used to pull this sh1t back in the day and now look at it. No Democrat in this thread can dispute that.

It is voter fraud plain and simple.

1619 Project Author Says 'anti-Blackness Is Deeply Embedded in Latino Cultures' after Trump Hispanic urge​


An author of an infamous revisionist historic work that paints the United States as racist has blamed 'anti-blackness' for Donald Trump's electoral success with Latinos.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of The 1619 Project, made the remarks Wednesday in response to Trump's win.

The president-elect emphatically beat Kamala Harris after being backed by 46 percent of all Latino voters - the most by any Republican in modern history.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there have been generally 3 types of Trump voters:

1. Traditional Republicans/conservatives that refuse to abandon their ideals, so they just swallow the bitter Trump pill

2. Far right and evangelical voters who are using Trump as their vehicle to pass extreme right laws and set extreme right court precedents in the name of their religious and/or far right beliefs.

3. Societal outcasts who feel a sense of belonging in the Trump social circles. It’s nothing substantive in their core beliefs that drives them, but the spectacle, the fandom, and the camaraderie.

But now, I think a significant (enough) 4th type has brought this one home for Donny and company….

4. Male Hispanic voters who would rather vote for someone that scapegoats them than a woman.

Or people who just think Harris sucks more.

Interesting. We've budgeted for no new equipment other than what's already in production for 2025. I'm thinking we're going to see a short lived slowing.

I think they have a new contract with BMW for transport.... so BMW may be ramping up. Plus may be replacing older equipment. Also I am sure you know that it "takes a while" to get delivery on an order that large.

Tim Walz is Returned to Sender​


1731012431342.png

ST. PAUL, Minn.—A week before Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz as her running mate, I facetiously urged her to "Take My Governor—Please." Walz has compiled an uber-woke record as Minnesota governor. When he was elected to a second term in November 2022, the DFL won majorities in both houses of the Minnesota legislature. With the DFL in control, the legislature spent an $18 billion surplus on infrastructure, "education," and entitlements.

So once a child molester completes a sentence and is released, no restrictions? Able to work in child care, as a teacher, etc.?

Dang, reading some of these papers makes my head hurt. This one stood out as a joke from Scotland:

"America votes for another four years of Trump... and abortion bans, the largest deportation operation in American History, abandoning Ukraine, bonkers trade tariffs, abolition of the education department, climate change denial..."

Now I know where Joy Reid get's her news.
