Our U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments about two state laws, Idaho and West Virginia, that ban men from women’s sports in their schools. It...

Black and white is so effective, I guess because we dont see b & w images too often. When I make a floral design for a competition, I like to take...

Yes, I hope it goes well.

I know we have a couple of threads about RMD‘s, but I’m posting my thoughts here about my own RMD just to keep it on this thread where I can find it...

since this thread started, I’ve been watching more of Caleb Hammer.. I think he’s funny at times ( a little goes a long way) but definitely goes for...

I peruse the Golden Globe nominees and winners for films and television product. I have seen none of this films. None. I have desire to see none...

Klunick this is such good news! Health improvements as ee get older are wonderful.

Of course that incident was jihad, justified by religious fervor. But these are not fueled by ideas of serving God: * 3 million killed in...

I haven’t observed that mankind needs any special religious guidance to commit brutality and mayhem.

That is indeed a weird message. I wonder what that’s about.

No, it really isn’t.

And as always, it is the power structure that is protecting them is the worst thing. Predators are gonna exploit, rapists are gonna rape,...

File this under cheap purchases that make me unreasonably happy: Hair bands you can wear as bracelets! I always wear an elastic band on my...

one of my neighbors feeds the deer at her country place, not here at home. Nobody around here had better be feeding the deer!

Right. I like depressing books.

Why do you want to know?

Bae, that is something I might have attended if it was convenient enough mainly to hear her experience on the flotilla. That could be interesting....

yes I saw that reference today on a forum so that must be the current talking point from the Dems.

It would be nice to see some Keffiyah Kids out in our streets protesting in support of these rebelling Iranians. But there aren’t any. they’re so...

That President would have been the kind and gentle Jimmy Carter who propped up the Ayatollah. but I shouldn’t be snarky because these choices in...

Skunks are not as destructive as raccoons although maybe they really are. It’s just that we don’t have very many skunks. I don’t think skunks through...

I skimmed the article because I’ve learned how to drop a URL into payroll remover sites. This Burlington article gives the address of business...

We do know the editor/ owner’s first name because she writes a column that’s fairly lame, but she’s a nice person. small town papers are valuable...

Fries must be cooked in lard, there is no other way to get that rich crispyness.

They sold their bricks and mortar place. It is more personal to place a phone call, softer, if I am chiding them but I try to keep it plain and...

I stand corrected: Mr .Google said Hannibal Lector lived at the old State Asylum for the Insane which is now a forensic center, near our old grocery...

I wish we were allowed to shoot the varmints that traipse through my vast estate of 1 acre. I hate them. They are so destructive.

Yes, ?i think BOTH location indicators are useful such as: The new business is located at 1411 Market St. where Asian Wings used to be. To leave...

Bae, atmospheric. Shows the power of nature in the moving cloud formations.

I have a question for everyone here. I think I’m right, but it’s happening so often that I’m beginning to question my conviction. it’s about the...

this is so interesting and it’s such a good illustration as to why a video alone in a court of law is not uncontroversial evidence. It just doesn’t...

The Lost King? The film about finding the grave of Richard the third? That whole saga was fascinating. This reminds me that at one time the last...

I like having a brick and mortar bank for a reason I just saw highlighted in a news report. It was about a scammer who managed to get thousands of...

This is all true. I think it’s reasonable to assume from the chaos of John Ross’s phone video that he was hit by Renee’s car. However, as you point...

I took some time to answer this question; I needed to review sources I’ve been consuming since it all can glom together in my mind Currently I...

ah, tell me then what role Renée was playing in that protest. How did she come to be there. What was her goal in being there. And etc.

Well, I won’t argue with that goal.

I have seen actions of an organization that trains their protesters with drills in street protests. And then over on the MMM forum “ Kris” in...

If you are having trouble with the word “recruiting “you can ignore that and just assume Renée volunteered for a volunteer organization that took in...

I’m am curious to know what kind of training Renee Goode got from this organization that recruited her to be an ICE disruptor. Does Anyone know this...

ok, I will go a certain way with you that considering the overall welfare of our culture and society, ICE is to blame, and this was wrong in that...

Not if he is convicted by the State. but the chance of conviction is super slim.And that right there is a valid reason to not prosecute, if the...

I honestly think there is a chance it will get taken into the legal system. There is some sort of jurisdictional issue that I haven’t followed that...

yes, it is unreasonable if a Grand jury, after carefully considering evidence and bucking the mob, determines not to try the case. Mob rule should...

Wow, that *IS* interesting!

from the Supreme Court decision Alan referenced earlier. Even though Justice Kagan is no wise Latina, she sees the reality and the necessity in these...

If rayon is a “natural fabric “is a controversy that rages. I think breathability is a big factor for me. as mentioned, I DO remember the...

“Do tricks” is funny.. our new pre-lit xmas tree with its many settings doesn’t do simple white, non flash or fade. Wish it did. Annoying!

if you look into this case, you’ll find what I’m talking about. There’s no ICE agent who was dragging anyone by a car, that was the illegal alien who...

Hmmm, I think the shooting ICE agent, having been dragged by a car belonging to an illegal alien child molester who was ordered to stop his car,...

Yesterday in a parking lot, I saw a black Ford Bronco with pink accents. It had pink door handles and a pink mirror. Subtle, not over done. That...

yeah, the evil haze, and then, Catherine, consider that the novel it all is based on had Hannibal Lecter at “city Hospital “in St. Louis, which is...

So, clothing fabric report: there are so many unfamiliar newish fabrics on the market and I am undecided if I like them or not because I don’t...

Yesterday, after my last visit to shopping mall clothing stores 8 months ago, I went again and this time to the high-end mall in St. Louis. It’s a...
