Biden administration will retaliate by bombing empty buildings and deserted parking lots……..

This is similar to what pulled the U.S. into the war of 1812
Our ships being harassed. It was a Different type of harassment. But harassment at sea by the British ships

Comments from the finance people would be very welcome.

Looks like Trump is kicking butt in Iowa! Go Trump!! Yeah baby!!

That'll put the anti -Trumpers in a tailspin.

Total landslide. Half the party wants him and half wants anyone else. Should be the basis for a real march to victory in November.

But yes, he likely will win the nomination.

From everything I see that would be the case regardless of the nominee. No unity.

Jfet,

great video of Vivek answering a question that I would wager that not one politician running could or would answer. Including our current president

Let alone, answer with that much detail and in way people understand.

Brent, I wouldn’t be spiking the ball yet. Many independents and democrats voted for trump in Iowa. (They are allowed to switch as long as they are already registered). They can’t then vote in the Iowa democrat version. But they don’t have two candidates anyway.

So the strategy is to push Trump forward thinking he is the weaker candidate.


The democrats are more concerned about Haley than trump. Don’t fall for the Obama hand wringing. (Oh my what if Trump wins it’s the end of democracy). That’s a ruse. They want Trump as the candidate. Moderates, independents and college educated white woman. Hate Trump.

They like Haley. Mainly due to her abortion stand

I'm don't agree with him blaming our geography. Our lack of development is due to shear ineptitude, not because of a few mountains and rivers!

I do agree with him on the future of SA, Kenia / Uganda though.

Very clever guy

I am really hoping someone would explain the question and then offer an evaluation of the answer.

My basic understanding of finances and budget comes from 30 years in public education. The rule in that world is spend your budget or have it decreased. I can balance a check book.

It is really the first 30 seconds of this video that is important. Young liberal protesters in the U.S. over the years have relied on the good behavior of older conservatives. From the video it looks like the older conservatives are no longer willing to politely endure the antics of the young.

Now to the fun part of this video. There are three men in this video that clearly remember how to drive block from their high school football days. They have great leverage, solid bases, and our moving their feet. This happened in Collin County, TX. Based on the ages of these men they could have played on some very good Plano Wildcat High School Football teams.

I would suggest that young liberal activists do their protesting outside.

Trump in Iowa...

This year the Baltimore Ravens lost in the preseason for the first time since 2015; they won a remarkable 24 consecutive games. Remind me... how many Super Bowls did they win? Oh, yeah, right. (Factoid: they only made the playoffs in half of those years.)

And maybe it's me, but his attempts to sound magnanimous to the other hopefuls after his Iowa, um, "win" smacked of bullshit. After listening to him trash them for weeks and then spew that? I actually have less respect for that than I do if he'd remained a pompous ass in his "victory" speech. It is the same guy who hired and fired staff and cabinet people while in office.

Because I do like sports, I am still hoping for a Villanova over Georgetown, or a Lorenzo Charles at the buzzer. Or, more recently with my Chiefs, Super Bowl LIV. Someone tell Haley she still has time to run Wasp.

Collin County is per capita the "reddest" county in the state...

when the BLM and ANTIFA riots were at their peak, a group of ANTIFA idiots went onto social media pledging to assault white people on the streets of Allen, TX (a Collin County suburb).. in response large groups residents purposefully took to the streets, gleefully anticipating their arrival lol...

for some reason ANTIFA never showed up lol...

I have grown tired of "city" living... but.. if you have to live in an urban area.. its pretty hard to beat Collin County Texas lol..

Funny, I was thinking upon these very lines today - the counter push to the liberal and woke nonsense. As the saying goes ‘for bad to happen all it takes is for good men (and women) to do nothing. The corollary to that is that when good men and women get moving nothing can stop them.

Fake news or disinformation takes many forms. This is a little off topic, but ever notice how MNM always posts a foto of President Trump after catching him at his most awful? A sneer maybe. (BTW this is not a challenge) But President Obama is always pictured thoughtful, maybe pensive or aloof? And President Trump is "TRUMP" while the Sniffer of Girl Children, is "President Biden"? Or the most prolific bomber of civilians is "President Obama". They are having a field day with Iowa now. Except for Rachel Maddow.....she won't cover Pres Trump.....remember she said if he is elected that he will execute her? (a 4th grader?) Anyway, just watched a few of Joe's gaffes on a compilation. Now, I don't judge him because he mistook his sister for his wife.....folks in Arkansas been doing that for generations. But I have to counter ABC "Trump used some of the same words as Hitler) (3rd grader?) So let me sink to their level........Sniffer Joe is like Ted Bundy....he ate some of the same foods as Bundy, and he also drank water. So did Biden. They must be similar. Or maybe the same. And don't forget, President Trump will execute us if he gets into office. (Ukraine agrees) Anyway, random thoughts from this farce some call journalism.....congrats to President Trump supporters in Iowa.....FWB

They tried that here in Douglas County, NV and were met by the Sheriff's Dept. and over 100 heavily armed citizens. They were promptly and unceremoniously ushered out of town.
