    Accused Ped Mall shooter wants case moved to juvenile

    This kind of decision should not be at an individual's discretion. If we want juveniles to be tried as juveniles, then check their ID. If we want violent criminal trials to not occur in juvenile courts, then make that the law.

    Iowa City named a top 10 place to visit in the US in 2026

    One might argue that a vehicle that launches one in the air upon hitting a curb is also not a great design.

    Lessons From the Graham Platner Disaster

    My thesis about the intractability of american politics is that the problem of money in politics is not some kind of quid-pro-quo where the powerful buy the government they want from greedy, influenceable politicians who are looking to enrich themselves. The problem I see is, there is an...

    Raisin and Sour Cream Pie?

    This is the old man’s favorite pie. I like it alright.

    Woke 2.0 is coming..

    There are plenty of us on the left who were never all that enamored with BHO, Biden, Clinton, Kerry, Gore. What the blurb calls “woke 2.0” is all of the stuff the corporate dems have willfully under-delivered on for so long that there is a bit of a revolt brewing. Call it Marxist foolishness...

    who is buying fireworks

    Regarding fireworks vs. dogs: I was thinking the other day about how I have to listen to the neighborhood dogs bark all year long, but the fireworks are for a couple of weeks at most. I think America can survive both sources of irritation. That is all.

    I’m no furniture expert but I believe that is an Ottoman.

    Dems, what kind of a parade is this?

    Some people walking down the street with signs, on the other side of an ocean. Why does OP seek out this stuff? If it was so intrusive into his life, you would think he wouldn't have to subscribe to newsletters in order to find content with examples of the stuff he hates. Could it be that it...

    trump and the US got absolutely rolled by Iran

    When your initial goals are inappropriate, not achieving them might be embarrassing, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

    Was this girl dad wrong?

    So dumb. Hot take: it is worse to punch someone than for a person to have their privacy invaded while eliminating waste.

    Mississippi police shoot and kill 1-year-old child.

    I think you are on to something, but I believe attitudes toward authority are more nuanced than you suggest. I think I recognize some of myself in WDDT so I’m admittedly projecting here: I think he, like myself, likely struggled mightily with authority as a young person and rather than coming to...

    Would you? 👮‍♀️

    I never understood the repulsion people have with feet. I’d wager that most people have cleaner feet than hands at any given time. Zappa was right when he said that the mind is the ugliest part of the body. As for the prison gal? Sure, I’d give her a foot rub that would make Tarantino blush.
