    Trump admin is messing up on the Epstein thing

    Transparency. Release the DOJ and FBI investigative files on the Epstein matter (simple to redact victims' names, just a few global computer strokes). The grand jury files are a red herring, as they are limited to just a few criminal charges and only involve a small percentage of the scope of...

    Home Stereo System: Stores in West Virginia?

    link to AVS Forum I checked with an Audio/Visual store in my area, and was stunned at the huge price they quoted me for off-the-shelf, stock equipment and install. I was fortunate enough to discover the AVS Forum instead. When i built my home theater ManCave, i leaned 99.9% on this tremendous...

    US court blocks Trump from imposing the bulk of his tariffs

    The decision was unanimous from a 3-judge panel. Those three judges were appointed by President Reagan (conservative), President Obama (liberal) and President Trump (MAGA). The opinion pointed out that they were not ruling on whether the tariffs are a good or bad idea; the issue in the...

    We saw what was in it, and we passed it!

    Politics aside, we need to appropriate sufficient money to counter the Asia-Pacific threat of China and North Korea. China has been stealing our technology designs for a long time and spending like crazy to develop their navy, stealth planes, and other offensive measures. Thankfully, although...

    Trump doubles down as he silences critics | Opinion

    Not just a designated terrorist organization. A terrorist group that kidnapped American citizens and has held them in captivity for many months since the October 7th Massacre. Thank goodness our POTUS has stated clearly and repeatedly that if they are not released soon there will be "all hell...

    Trump doubles down as he silences critics | Opinion

    He is in trouble for his actions, not his words. He organized the takeover of a campus building (illegal) and actively supported Hamas, which has been designated a terrorist organization and a danger to the national security of the United States. He can pretty much say whatever he wants. He...

    Seed oils v animal fats.

    Eat this. Don't eat that. Oh, wait. Eat that, not this. They keep switching as medical experts cannot agree. Different people have different tolerances and reactions to different foods. My sweet, sweet grandmother who lived to 93 on a rather steady diet of cookies, candy and ice cream...

    So is the war in Ukraine now acceptable?

    We did not "invade" Kuwait under pretense of lies. Kuwait directly asked the United States to come help repel Hussein. Kuwait seeks U.S. help Your rewrite of history is an affront to the soldiers who put themselves on the line.

    So is the war in Ukraine now acceptable?

    Kuwait should provide free oil to the United States in perpetuity for our soldiers freeing that country from Saddam Hussein. We saved their asses.

    My man of the month is Musk!

    I don't watch CNN or MSNBC or Fox or any of those. Burned out on those folks and political crap from both sides long ago. If you think my use of common words of the English language indicate otherwise, that probably says more about you than me. I do watch the CNBC business shows, Friends...

    My man of the month is Musk!

    1. Your framing of the question is rather loaded and result-slanted, like a good pollster (credit to you for that ability). 2. As i had no dog in that issue, i honestly didn't pay much attention to it when it was happening. 3. Yes, i feel bad, in a genaeral sense, for folks who lose their...

    My man of the month is Musk!

    You make it all sound so easy. So under your scenario, even as a meritorious, loyal, patriotic government worker, my relative has to sell his house, move to wherever, buy a new house, have his wife leave her management position at her company that she has worked years to achieve because she...

    My man of the month is Musk!

    I do not apologize for caring about my relative and his family. I am proud to do so. It is unfortunate that you feel such a strong need to take offense at my concern for my family member and try to guilt me about the rest of the world's problems, over which i have no control.

    My post was not about you. I expressed concern about my relative who is proud to have worked his career for his country and done so faithfully with excellence. I trust that your family would likewise care about you in that situation.
