  1. The media should not be able to hide behind the 1st amendment and clever wording when it comes to the truth. If they can't be held accountable by criminal actions then making them pay civilly is the only option. The same people who disagree with Trump suing applauded when Fox got hammered for election machine reporting.
  2. I switched to diet drinks 25 years ago. Haven't had a regular soft drink in anything but a mixer since. Tastes like pure sugar to me now. Diets aren't really that much better for you but in the end its calories in calories out. I have at least 2 diet pepsi's a day.
  3. at the bold. I read about them all the fucking time. Really? Link? Of course how rapes or sexual assaults and what is actually counted as one might have just a bit to do with the statistics. According to wiki France is 50% higher than the US. Not sure where you got your numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/rape-statistics-by-country Keep in mind in many muslim majority countries they punish the woman if she is raped. Highly doubt reporting is very accurate. For example the rape rate in Pakistan is under 5 per 100K which is laughable.
  4. MC is our Kimmel. Use to be a regular dude with common sense then took a hard turn left.
  5. No fucking way it can be worse than Malort. My son's father in law loves that shit too......they are from Chicago where its apparently big. I'd try the Cheese Vodka once. Likely will this year sledding.
  6. Obviously never know what to all believe on SM but to some extent where there's smoke there is fire and Europe is a fucking mess with the immigration they have allowed. Our news isn't covering it hardly at all but damn I feel sorry for the women especially. Stated many times you can't allow millions of young men into a country with little to no hopes of romantic relationships without massive issues. Women can't hardly go out alone especially at night without being severely harassed or worse.
  7. I rarely and I mean rarely drink hot coffee or anything for that matter. Love iced coffee with a bit enough "extra" added.
  8. My wife's coffee is more chocolate milk than coffee.
  9. You never know if its true but some of the stories coming out of there about even the cleanup is infuriating.
  10. How many times do I have to say this. I don't vote for candidates based off single issues. I vote for them both the broad range of their policy stances as well as against the policy stances of the most competitive other candidate. Just because I dislike something Trump has or has not done isn't going to all of a sudden make me like MC and vote for big spending, socialist who are gun hating, pro abortion greenies. I like Vance....I think his story is compelling and I very well could support him down the road. The Epstein thing policy wise is irrelevant. Should it get released....yes....can it.....I have no idea what legally can or can't or if there is even this list of people that I would be concerned about.
  11. You're right....I won't vote for him in the next election. Happy?
  12. Why is it socialism even to the point of communism is so popular in big cities as comparison to rural or small town America? Thank the Lord or the founding fathers seen and understood the perils of a simple democracy.
  13. Many places and especially Mexican stores have been carrying cane sugar soft drinks for years. Apparently processed corn syrup isn't big with them.
  14. Last time I checked diets had aspartame not corn syrup.
  15. Make who "aware?" You don't think every single farm in California or anywhere who has hired people are unaware of the H2A program? Make the illegals aware? They don't care they just want to make some money and send a good portion of it back to their families. If they cared they wouldn't have came in illegally. Again....how do the existing programs need strengthening or are you just throwing that in there so you have something to complain about Trump not doing something right?
  16. Why does it need revitalizing? Seems to me it just needs to be done. I don't recall seeing anything about a farm with legal H2A visa workers being raided? Do you? I have more empathy for the worker than I do the farm owners who may loose some crops. Fuck them.
  17. Well I'd argue that picking fruits and veggies is hardly something that needs much training. Physically demanding work.....absolutely. AGAIN....I'm not opposed to H2A visa's because they force similar pay and have other requirements like transportation and housing. These farms aren't doing this because they want to SAVE MONEY. Personally I think its disgusting making these people come and pick our fruits and veggies and be paid shit wages. Studies show even in AG 40%+ less than legal or American workers. How many of these other farms have children working at them? Oh no if we bring them in within current H2A requirements there might be some inflation. I've said this all along. Lets put our nations prisoners' to work and let them work off some time to be served.
  18. As many as I needed to fill positions. Would it be somehow less difficult to hire, train and deal with illegals who don't speak English? Even if it partially worked it would be worth it because the status quo isn't.
  19. 2nd witness to plead the fifth in the autopen probe but yeah.....nothing to see here. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jill-biden-work-husband-pleads-fifth-amendment-dodges-house-gop-cover-up-probe-questions
  20. I have no problem with H2A....Ask yourself why these huge farms aren't using it? Simple they pocket the savings. Illegals make on average 42% less than legal workers. Time to start hauling those that hire illegals off to jail and have huge fines. You are kidding yourself if you think those poorly paid illegals aren't a burden on US taxpayers. I do think many abled bodied men if cut from the welfare tit will re-enter the workforce. 7 million isn't exactly a small number. You make them because they will starve or become homeless if they don't work. The fact that welfare entitlements are costing this country over a trillion dollars a year is insanity. Imagine cut that and military in half and boom....balanced budget without raising taxes. Honestly if you made 3.5 million work and pay some taxes vs leaching off the system the economy would surge ahead as would tax revenues. Nobody will ever claim there wouldn't be some short term pain but we absolutely have to make serious changes in this country when it comes to letting people live off others.
  21. Well considering Federal employees outside the military overwhelmingly vote dem I'd say its is one sided. We didn't hear federal employees under Biden coming out on SM saying they were going to do everything they could to sabotage the Biden admin. We hear/see it all the time under Trump admins. REPORT: 95% of Career Federal Em...REPORT: 95% of Career Federal Employees Who Email about P...Almost all federal workers are career employees. Of the approximately 2.2 million civilian positions in the federal executive branch, fewer than 5,000 are filled by political appointees who serve a...
  22. 7 million work age men not in the workforce and not counted in unemployment numbers. Time for the welfare faucet to be cut off to able bodied people in this country. Approximately 7 million prime-age men (25-54) in the U.S. are neither working nor looking for work, a significant number that has sparked concern and discussion about the state of the American labor force, according to recent reports. This "missing men" phenomenon is a complex issue with various contributing factors, including health issues, changing social norms, and economic shifts.
