As an Independent, I try to move past the name calling, personal attacks and childish behavior I see both sides sling at each other and dig a little deeper into the pros and cons of each side. I won't bore you with the pros, so let's look at my biggest complaint with each side. Democrats: Get...

He might be wrong about the exact timeline, but not the direction I agree. The folks at Microsoft (including Mr. Suleyman) are not often wrong. 2 Items of note, however: 1. This timeline is far too optimistic. 2-5 years is more accurate. 2. The best way for employees to deal with this is...

Small and medium size businesses employ over 80% of Americans, while the Fortune 500 employs less than 10%, but who do outlets such as CNBC, Bloomberg, and the WSJ cover almost exclusively? You guessed it - the Fortune 500. If these outlets want a report on manufacturing, do they interview the...

It's a nice theory. Anyone who can run a successful business ought to be able to run a country. Sadly, it just doesn't work that way. Anyone who has tried to operate a mainframe computer the same way you operate a high-performance sports car will tell you the same thing. Businesses and...

Most of us have been there. You're working away on your computer, listening to your favorite music on You Tube, 3 1/2 minuets in the music stops, and a noisy bimbo in an apron starts chattering about car insurance, or some idiot who just OD'd on caffeine starts bellowing mindlessly about a...

Unlike many, I don't have a strong opinion on abortion either way but do think that a more streamlined and efficient adoption system would eliminate the need for many of these abortions. Women in lower income brackets shouldn't have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their children.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!! SORRY NEW ENGLAND - - PAYBACK STINGS LIKE A B*TCH, DOESN'T IT! 😆 😆 😆

But yeah, .45acp. This is because you have wisdom beyond your years. :)

Many years ago, I was a competition shooter. At my peak, placed 2nd in a local large bore pistol competition. My pistol of choice was a .45 Colt Gold Cup, and though I'm no longer a gun owner (I compete on a chessboard now) the .45 has always been my sentimental favorite. If one loads their...

I'd like to see a group of WWE wrestlers in every weight class (male and female) stripped of their face paint, capes, colorful clothing, and other nonsense - given standard NCAA wrestling uniforms and deposited at Penn State, Iowa, or Oklahoma State to face the best college wrestlers under NCAA...

15 years ago, at a business conference, I noticed many of the CEO's, general managers, and owners writing in their thoughts and ideas in business journals; very few used a computer tablet or any electronic device. I was too shy to ask any of them about this but quietly began to copy what they...

The finding, published Thursday in a report from the Commonwealth Fund, revealed that the suicide rate in the U.S. was 13.9 in 100,000 deaths, a rate double that of the United Kingdom. If America is the "greatest country in the world" why is our suicide rate so high...

2024 should have been a good year for the Democrats, especially in the Presidential election. Trump was a known quantity, and not very popular. Despite some recent off year election wins, the core problems for the Democrats remain. This party is primarily made up of a loose coalition of groups...

JMHO - Please don't buy into this garbage. It's no different than a man turning down a woman because she doesn't have big boobs. If this is all a woman can find to complain about, then she's not worth it. There are about 100 million eligible women out there in America. Make smart food choices...

I've been a fan of Notre Dame football for a very long time, and, like many feel the NCAA made a mistake in excluding the Irish from the college playoffs, however.... this nonsense of turning down an invitation for a bowl game appearance in protest makes ND look like a spoiled child taking his...
