    Ilhan Omar's office says she's ‘not a millionaire’ after $30M filing revised down to under $100K

    I think her inner circle of family and friends got extremely wealthy since she got elected. I also think she did too and is lying her ass off about it.

    US negotiating to give Iran $20BN in return for giving up its uranium, and end the war

    I don't believe much if anything I read anywhere. Election year politics.

    The nature of our rights, Constitutionally speaking.

    If our rights are given by the Constitution (gov't) then they can also be taken away. The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to prevent gov't from taking our rights away. Hence those rights are guaranteed and existed prior to the Constitution was created.

    US negotiating to give Iran $20BN in return for giving up its uranium, and end the war

    What about verification to ensure Iran isn't still trying to build nukes?

    Are there any just wars?

    Are there any just wars? If attacked, a country is justified in defending itself. I thought the Afghan war was justified but we stayed way too long. That was where the 911 terrorists were trained.

    Was President Trump correct that China will take over Canada?

    Was President Trump correct that China will take over Canada? No. Trump would not stand for that, but a future democrat president might.

    Nearly all Senate Democrats vote to block Israel arms sales

    I've been wondering about this for years. I do not believe Israel has that much influence over Trump. He pretty much goes his own way without caring overmuch who agrees with him or not. I thought we already were. Israel is an ally. I see no reason why we should not sell them arms...

    The left has embraced fascism in its purest form

    IMHO, the problem with progressive liberals is that they believe a larger and more intrusive gov't is compatible with protection individual civil rights. In a perfect world that might be true, but such is not the case. Human nature results in wrongs done to certain people and groups under the...

    Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick argues there is no separation of church and state in U.S. Constitution

    My problem with Sharia Law is that sometimes it conflicts with our civil rights laws.

    Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick argues there is no separation of church and state in U.S. Constitution

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…" This IS the separation of church and state.

    Video: Trump will only feel safe in '28 with a Trump dynasty taking over. Will you be happy with Eric Trump or Don Trump Jr. as president?

    Will you be happy with Eric Trump or Don Trump Jr. as president? No, I wouldn't. We are talking about a de facto Trump 3.0, and quite frankly I've had enough of Trump 1.0 and 2.0. And I voted for the man 3 times, it ain't like I got TDS. OTOH, I wouldn't be too thrilled with JD Vance...

    Why do U.S. producers have to raise gas prices?

    No, it's a business decision made to ensure the supply remains viable. It's not a scam, it's reality. Basic economics ought to tell you that when supply drops, the price goes up. In 2022, total petroleum exports were about 9.52 million barrels per day (b/d) and total petroleum imports were...

    Why do U.S. producers have to raise gas prices?

    Repeated investigations by the Federal Trade Commission have found that changes in gasoline prices are driven by market conditions rather than illegal price manipulation. https://www.api.org/news-policy-and-issues/news/2026/03/16/how-gasoline-prices-are-determined So, what market conditions...

    Effing armadillos

    Amazon has a product called Bug Clear lawn insect killer that kills grubs. So, I thought if I remove the food source maybe the armies will go elsewhere. That, and I read where they don't like cayenne and vinegar, so I can try that, plus fill in their holes with gravel mixed with castor oil.

    Effing armadillos

    Thought about that. If nothing else works, it's sorta a last resort. But I ain't known for my patience and if them effers get into my garden then the war is on. I got a SW M&P compact .22LR and a suppressor and I ain't afraid to use it.
