"One widely cited estimate shows that the U.S. spent about $2.3 trillion in two decades in Afghanistan, from fiscal years 2001 to 2021. That’s from the Costs of War project by researchers at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. That’s $2.189 trillion more than the $111 billion in aid given to Ukraine." $2.3 trillion divided by 20 years is about $115 billion a year. First year Ukraine $111 billion. If the Ukraine spe...
“I don’t care about patents,” Musk told Leno. “Patents are for the weak.” In Musk’s opinion, patents are “generally used as a blocking technique” that are designed to prevent others from innovating.

This article pretty much describes how I'm feeling about the recent events concerning Trump and the rapid deplatforming going on. I'm not going to miss Trump. But I am going to miss the days when people were able to talk to each other civilly even when they disagreed.
I found this article quite thought provoking. https://pjmedia.com/columns/dennis-prager/2021/01/05/i-now-better-understand-the-good-german-n1305198 This past week we didn't just see the banning of Trump for "inciting violence" (despite said inciting is never included for people to judge for themselves). Countless other people were banned and even groups like #walkaway on Facebook were banned. Regardless of your politics, this is nothing to celebrate. I remember a time...
When you vote in person, the trust-level of the result is high. I fill out my ballot, I walk to a machine with a poll worker and I insert it in and my vote is cast. But with mail-in votes, especially ones where the ballot applications are mailed out, you have a bunch of vulnerable points in the process: You have the possibility of harvesting the applications. Picture an operative going to a college dorm or a high density housing complex and going door to door to gather ...

The government form said I had to pick a clinic and a doctor, so I wasted my time researching clinics and doctors and picked them. When I got the card I found out the government picked a different clinic and doctor then I did. Here are some questions for Bernie.

Can I eat a steak? After eatin...

FNC's Shep Smith: "We Are "Failing Our Children" Because We Can't Figure Out Why They Are Killing Each Other" Here is a hint. I am 54 this is how it was when I was in school. They set the trash can on fire two classes a day. Spit wads the size of baseballs made out of news paper. Punched in the back getting on the bus for no reason. Gum in the hair. Eggs on the chalk board when the teacher turned her back. Kids tee shirt said "flunk now beat the rush".

See iffn ya'll can remember this...Moderate Man The day was dawning bright and clear at Yosemite National park; the sun rose serenely over the treetops, the advancing day chasing away the shadows of night, still pooled in the misted valleys and in the deep woods. Suddenly, a flock of birds scattered at the sharp sound of the word "NNNNOOOOO!"
