Between the support the trials are garnering for Trump, and the pro-Hamas-terrorist cosplay amongst our college youth, at this point I see a Trump victory as a very likely outcome in this election.

I wish for the jury to hear the testimony, weigh the evidence, and come to a conclusion.

I was born in 1963.

Apollo 7, then Apollo 8. I remember vividly watching the Apollo 8 broadcasts. I later ended up living just down the street here from Bill Anders, who was on the Apollo 8...

I enjoy large dogs, and had always hoped to have a Cane Corso, but once a dog becomes "trendy", problems appear. Wow - I just looked, they are #18 on the list of breed popularity in the USA!

LWV Report from the County Council meeting this week:

I think that's how I end up with them. They look so cute, especially as puppies, that people get them as pets and don't realize what they are getting into. I had Bassets for years and years, nearly...

For decades now, I have adopted "troublesome" dogs. Usually large scent hounds that some halfwit purchased, who had no idea how to properly train and work such animals. Generally with focused...
