No he didn’t. This is a lie allowed to continue unabated and it’s done an incredible amount of damage to just simple civil dialogue in this country.

My worst experience in any transportation was out of Newark, NJ by a taxi. Arrived late at night in the Penn station train terminal, went in the first taxi available to go to my hotel. I was privileged to a high speed race through Newark ru

I’m a very proficient cook, but I’ve learned, with 3 young sons, work, stressful days, sometimes going out to eat is a Godsend. I enjoy it when I can take a night off, where I can do nothing but play crossword puzzles with my kids while dri

Arizona does it, and it’s turned into a total shit show in Maricopa County full of missed ballots, delays, uncounted votes, and generally an air of malfeasance around the whole process. It was so bad in our 2018 elections, I’m voting in per

We as in every American. Categorically though, you are conflating two issues. Any violent riot (yes, that is what it is) will end up in hospitalizations and arrests. Spinning it as a secret state action against people just doing their thing

Most Americans feel nervous about sharing opinions because of the increase in doxxing, and cancel culture that results in physical harm and job loss. Has nothing to do with feelings of wrongness or being on the wrong side of history. We jus

Every drug is dangerous at improper dosage. It’s a fickle argument. It’s like trying to argue that people shouldn’t drink water, because if they had too much of it they’d drown or choke. We prescribe drugs everyday with a proper dosage on t

The answer is no. Interacting with other humans inherently carries risk that you could harm others. I could get distracted by my children in the car and kill someone when I cross the center line. That doesn’t make me evil or selfish for wan

Because that is how this world works. You may be new out of the womb intellectually speaking, but if a child shows up at my doorstep one day and tells me I'm on his ancestors land from 300 years prior and I must vacate the home I bough

I'm amused that you possibly think war is just two sides in distinct colors simply lining up and shooting volleys at each other until one side surrenders from the field with a white flag in the air. That may be more civil and gentleman

You have a distinctly queer idea of what happens after a war. This isn't an American idea to take land after conquest, it's how it's always worked throughout human history, even with the Indians that warred amongst themselves

I wish the Supreme Court had this kind of attitude towards other questionable decisions and actions by our Congress, namely the passage of the 16th amendment.

These kinds of comments are a strong signal that we haven't matured enough to actually target the real cause of waste, fraud, and abuse yet, because people are still stuck in R vs. D. Both corporations have been looting the American ta

My child screams at me that he wants candy for dinner. He throws a tantrum, screams, yell, slams his hand against the counter. Throws his toys, tells me he hates me. It's noise and chaos. It doesn't go ignored, but it also isn&#x2

Everyone has pretty much universally agreed that what the officers did was unacceptable. Even other Police. The officer was arrested, why things didn't move sooner was a local matter to take up with that mayor and that department. It s

It was a little above board to argue that the Earth wasn’t the center of the universe at one time, and it was fervently argued, dissenters were dealt with harshly. Not saying there is a logical equivalency here, but this type of thinking is

That doesn’t prevent abuse. We see how these programs live on forever in government. FISA courts are extended every time the vote comes up, and like or hate Trump, it was abused as a political tool instead of a law enforcement tool. Patriot

Public Schools have been short on money for multiple reasons. Pension obligations, building costs, union interests, grift, and they have replaced education with welfare programs. Property taxes can only pay for so much school if you have a

I was one of those teenagers at 13. I appreciated the work training from early experience in the job market. The skills learned from getting mentored by the business owners for the small business I worked for as a teenager was invaluable as

School doesn’t teach those skills from my personal experience. I was a product of public schooling, the my way or highway attitudes of some teachers, the social isolation, cliches, bullying, teasing, all severely stunted my social developme

Much of modern public government education is part baby sitter, part indoctrinator, part time waster, and part money waster. The topics public schools waste time on are not something you would catch private elite academies getting caught de

No, Venezuela is a poignant example of what nationalization does to companies and industries. They simply bog down in eventual corruption and massive inefficiency to the point of stopping or limping along. The counter opposite example is Ch

Ammunition is a durable good as long as it’s kept dry and stays for years. In situations you can bargain with it, use it, and in a best case scenario nothing happens and you simply go shoot it for fun. In a worst case scenario... well it’s

Government is anything but efficient, or cheap. You will end up with multiple redundant bureaucracies overlapping the same areas, spending tax money and blowing up budgets like it's going out of style, skyrocketing our already skyrocke

I fixed my SI joint back issues with kettle bell exercises and lots of stretching. Now my back feels even better than before the issues began. I can see the need for intervention using drugs as a pathway to rehabilitation if the pain is cri
