Very sensible of you. I can see you understand the difference between people in large groups at rallies, or people answering polls with the family around -- and people all alone, in secret, with their conscience, in the polling booth.
I made my Presidential prediction a week ago, and I haven't changed my mind. Harris by between 302-312. I won't get more granular than that, because it would be pretending I know much more than I do. (For the math challenged, that leaves 227-237 for Trump).
Sadly, I suspect the Senate will go...
Many years ago, when I was VP of IT for a large financial institution, it was time for the annual "Senior Staff Dinner & Theatre." The President invited all VPs and their spouses out to dinner and to a major theatre production -- in this case, it was Sunset Boulevard.
Well, I didn't think it...
The hope that I hold out is that, all too often, people are different on their own than they are in groups. It takes an angry crowd to lynch a young black man, But I know that many in those mobs would not have truly wished to do something so heinous if just left to their own devices. Sometimes...
Now, all you'd need is some evidence of any Democratic who actually wishes Trump had not survived. I know of none who have actually expressed that. I can find lots of examples of Trump saying people should face the death penalty. I can find no examples of Obama saying the same, and Biden...
You would have been better off leaving it as a 3-island thought experiment, one inhabited by only Democrats, one by Republicans, and one by a mixture of both. That way, people who actually tried the experiment might have the opportunity to examine the strengths and weaknesses of either side...
When are people going to get sensible about "borders?" Anybody think the Great Wall of China will keep out attackers with modern weapons of war? It was a tremendous feat, no doubt -- 21,196 miles ( 13,171 km) long. Millions, literally, of slave labourers to build it -- many of them buried within...
But only by an hour, please. On November 5, there's going to be a lot of folks trying to turn them back by about a century.
It's DST -- Democracy Saving Time.
I always travel in the early spring, before tourist season begins, or fall, after tourist season has ended. I've had the Tower of London and the Louvre almost completely to myself!
Welcome to one of the reasons I actually detest religion. Yes, the Taliban is over-the-top extreme, but other religions have their proscriptions, as well -- as any LGBTQ+ person around the world can tell you.
Why, how very sweet and kind of you. I'm only 76, after all, with a surgically repaired spine and hip that makes walking nearly impossible. Are you so sweet to everybody?
You very clearly desire Putin to simply take some part, or perhaps all of Ukraine. Do you have any other countries you'd like to deliver over to him? One or two you don't like, perhaps?
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said Friday that her office is investigating whether former President Donald Trump’s violent remarks about former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney broke the law.
“I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether...
Why did you forget to mention that the unemployment rate continues at just 4.1%, which is quite low?
And what do you think the administration can do about strikes in the private sector?
The funny thing is, while many Americans emotionally feel like the economy is bad, they are behaving as if it weren't. Check out voluntary spending -- travelling for vacation or family time on holidays, for example. It's up, significantly up. Consumer spending is up by more than can be accounted...
It's your bloody country, why are you asking a Canadian? The US Border Patrol (USBP) operates under the US Customs & Border Protection (CBP), which is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Secretary of DHS is Alejandro Mayorkas. You'll notice (I hope) that he is not Kamala Harris.
Read your own post -- it's right there. In case you only ever read the first 7 words of what's in front of you, I have highlighted what Biden actually charged her to do. Those "root causes" are what drive people to leave their native country -- and that happens long BEFORE they ever get to the...
