The one right above this post is hilarious.

Medicare and SS are the political third rail. The only way you make big cuts there is if you have no expectation of keeping your seat. It’d be a Kamikaze mission.

But who knows, maybe they’ll convince Trumpies that Medicare and SS departments are full of socialist pizza parlor pedos and satanists and the only way to be rid of them is to axe them wholesale. It’s been the wet dream of the birch society right since their inception. To basically return to feudal Europe. No services, no net, no collective good. You achieve a certain level of self sustaining, almost tax free wealth and you can cloister yourself away from the rest of humanity and let the serfs squabble for bread crusts and perish in the streets from consumption. If you’re not smart and lucky enough to win, you deserve to lose.

I expect people in power and those with great wealth to do whatever they can to get to the bit into the common man’s mouths and to take the bridle. I may never understand when common folk willingly do it themselves.

I think it wads 100% haslam…. And I get it… if Walton returned to form then it would have been worth it…. Unfortunately, he hasn’t… and most likely won’t…

What is the difference between North Korea and a black hole?

One of them you can’t leave, and the other is a black hole.

Quit with the Republican nonsense. Stop the Woe is me crap. It's the law. Deal with it. If he wants to change it, fine. Do it the right way., He has the House and the Senate. He can get things done and nothing anyone can say about it. Tell Trump to get off his lazy ass, Fire those around him that keep getting him to stupid arguments that only cause division and strife. Tell that idiot to grow up.

I expect that I'll hear nothing from you but more BS about how something is Unfair... or the like. Stop Crying.. Tell trump to do his freaking job....THE RIGHT WAY! That man and his followers are cry babies.

When the draft is over I may agree or disagree with the selection that the Browns make at quarterback.

But I will be at peace with it. I think Rees and KS will make their choice. It will be the guy they believe in.

I am good with that. They know what they are looking at.

I have no clue what they think of the candidates. They might love Sanders as a decision maker.

They might believe Ward is a dynamic play maker.

They might be all in on Milroe.

I will watch closely as the process continues and I get to see more of the players.

The shots of the audience are wild.

It appears Altman took the high road. It'll definitely be interesting to see where the trajectories of a lot of these big personalities end up throughout the course of the next four years.

Both Trump and Elon have huge followings and I think they both rely heavily on each other, but they also are not known for getting along with people over a prolonged period of time.

I imagine some things will have to come to a head at some point.

Sold yourself talking about handies…

I don’t get the pic of you and Peen at the bottom?

Yeah man, check out the awesome documentary Michael Palin did. He's a great journalist.

A lot of their farming techniques there are horribly inefficient, with more than a lot of it being done by hand. This segues into all the repeated famine issues they experience. It's nuts. Palin actually visits one of the hand-kept farms in the documentary. It's some older woman who looks emaciated, squatting down to till the field with a hand-hoe.

Meanwhile, a tell-all from KJI's former chef talked about how he was constantly sent around the world to find things like caviar from Iran, mangoes from southeast Asia, fish from Tokyo, and I think he even did a McDonald's burger run to Beijing.

Quite the disparity.

These are the consequences and results of how Nazi rhetoric sometimes manifests itself.......

Purported writings from Antioch High School shooter show his plans, thoughts before death

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Pages of writings from the alleged shooter at Antioch High School showed a layout of the school, the weapons he wanted to use and his thoughts about why he wanted to commit a shooting.

The Metro Nashville Police Department identified the shooter as Solomon Henderson, 17. He is accused of killing Josselin Corea Escalante, 16. MNPD Chief John Drake said in an afternoon press conference that there were materials on the internet the department was looking into as part of the investigation.

"That's in the initial stages but we’ll continue to follow up on that," Drake said.

In his writings obtained by NewsChannel 5 Investigates, Henderson showed a layout of Antioch High School, photos of a handgun, a lock picking kit and cartridges to load the handgun. He wanted to livestream his attack in the cafeteria. The writings were connected to a social media account that was purportedly Henderson's. He posted the writings on the account before the shooting in the cafeteria.

In one of his first sentences, Henderson wrote he "was ashamed to be Black." He was anti-Semitic in his writings and posted a flyer from the Goyim Defense League, which is a neo-Nazi white supremacy group that visited Nashville this summer.

Henderson said he was inspired by Candance Owens, a conservative Black pundit who previously called Nashville home.

Pages of writings from the alleged shooter at Antioch High School showed a layout of the school, the weapons he wanted to use and his thoughts about why he wanted to commit a shooting.

"Candance Owens influenced me above all each time she spoke," Henderson wrote.

His writings showed that he had been thinking about violence for a few months. He wrote his final remarks on Nov. 18.

"I was so miserable. I wanted to kill myself. I just couldn't take anymore. I am a worthless subhuman, a living breathing disgrace. All my (in real life) friends outgrew me act like they didn't f—ing know me. Being me was so f—ing humiliating. That's why I spend all day dissociating."

Henderson's writings also showed a photo of The Covenant School shooter who died in 2023 after attacking the private Christian school. Three children and three staff people died that day in addition to the shooter.

He wrote he didn't intend to kill law enforcement and that he didn't consider himself the victim of bullying.

However, he did write about how he felt about the school in disparaging terms about race. Antioch High School has a diverse student body with a majority of Hispanic and Black students.

" Schoolis a daycare," he wrote. "It's just impossible for you to actually think. You say things because other people have said it before then go repeat ad nauseum somewhere else. In school, we're taught to wake up early, shut up, sit for long periods of hours do tasks you hate then repeat."

His writings included a link to instructions on how to carry out a mass killing with targets ranked as far as what is easiest. There were links to other manifestos on his document, and he praised other mass shooters.

Two years ago there was a mass shooting at The Covenant School which is located about 30 minutes from my home. This school is located about 15 minutes from my home and I drive past it fairly regularly.

I do wonder if we're seeing the "Goff ceiling."

The team right now does remind me of the mid-to-late 90's version of the Steelers under Cowher.

Darius Garland. What was that? A meltdown at the free throw line after an incredible comeback. He was in his own head. Sheesh, that was bad.

Amazing game and amazing playoff run… didn’t realize that Buckeyes only trailed for 6 minutes throughout the playoff…. All against Notre Dame….

Congrats Buckeyes…. Came together at the right time and put together an amazing run

9 and 14 the one where they are looking at each other was her first day home

It will probably take longer than that, but time has a way of smoothing out the edges of ex politicians.

Unless she does something else of note, she likely will become a footnote in history. She has been rather pedestrian in her political career and people don't remember for very long who was a Vice President or who lost Presidential bids.

OldColdDawg is my screen name. Changed it because a few chuckle heads were making fun of it with OCD. I took that away. Color me ironic.

They all voted for ME-ME-ME… horrible people IMO. And I can’t wait until they wake up and see he was talking about Him, Him, and Him. Plus the bugger plutocrats.

And a certain poster that likes to act like he’s loaded will be the biggest cryer of them all. My empty cup of MAGA tears is standing back and standing by…/

Vivek Ramaswamy to leave DOGE and launch a run for Ohio governor

WASHINGTON — Vivek Ramaswamy will launch a campaign for governor in Ohio early next week and is parting ways with President Donald Trump’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, two sources familiar with his plans told NBC News.

Ramaswamy’s interest in seeking office in his home state is not a surprise. But his decision to leave DOGE now removes him from the high command of a federal spending watchdog group that he was supposed to run with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X.

“He’s leaving DOGE. He’s going to announce early next week for governor,” said one of the sources, who was granted anonymity to discuss preparations for a campaign that has not officially launched. “It became increasingly clear over the last week that pursuing the governor’s race and running DOGE was not compatible. He’s leaving on good terms with Trump, Elon and the team.”

A post on X issued Monday morning around the time that Ramaswamy's departure from DOGE became public, underscored how abruptly he was pivoting away from one of Trump's top priorities.

"A new dawn," Ramaswamy posted alongside a photo of him with Musk.

In a statement, Trump transition spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Ramaswamy for having played a "critical role" in establishing DOGE.

"He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure that we announced today," Kelly added. "We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again!”

Ramaswamy, a wealthy biotech entrepreneur, briefly challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination last year before he became one of his most visible and vocal allies. He had said he was putting his Ohio political ambitions on hold to help lead the DOGE effort.

At the time, Ramaswamy was taking himself out of the running for the appointment to the Senate vacancy in Ohio left by Vice President-elect JD Vance. But Ramaswamy resurfaced as a late contender for that job, meeting last week with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who eventually selected Lt. Gov. Jon Husted.

That move quickly upended the 2026 race for governor, as Husted was considered a leading candidate to succeed DeWine, a fellow Republican, who is term-limited. Two other GOP officials with statewide name recognition — state Attorney General Dave Yost and state Treasurer Robert Sprague — were already plotting their own bids for governor. And Ramaswamy’s signals last week that he was about to join them only accelerated their preparations.

Ramaswamy mingled with Ohio Republicans at their inaugural ball here Sunday night. But he left conspicuously early, according to three attendees, who were granted anonymity to share details of a private event. His appearance struck these Republicans as unusually perfunctory for someone about to launch a campaign for governor.

“He can’t bother to spend more than 45 minutes with 1,400 of the most influential Republicans in Ohio,” a GOP leader in the state said. “It’s next-level arrogance.”

A Ramaswamy adviser did not respond to a question about his appearance.

On the Democratic side, Amy Acton, a physician who was DeWine’s health director during the early days of Covid, has declared her candidacy for governor.

I purchased a set of books for my mom a few years back, the Poldark series. I looked on Amazon, Ebay, slick deals, etc. I looked all over google shopping and found an english bookstore that was a $100 better than the best deal, and they shipped them for $12. Funny enough, had I just switched country on amazon, the deals were all there, just not covered by US prime delivery. All these big websites have different versions for different countries. There are deals to be had all over if you are willing to dig deep. Problem is, between shipping costs and trust issues, sometimes you are just better off paying more. Same with rando US websites. Get a trust score before you buy. Else, you will eventually be scammed.

For a while, Starbucks wasn't a terrible value if I was running late and a stop for food/beverage was needed on the way to work. Breakfast sandwich and a coffee for not much more than $5... and there has been two times now that the local SB's couldn't be any more on my way to work.

I was laughing at your dialogue. Here's mine.

Oober: "Good morning... I'll have a sausage breakfast sandwich and a medium coffee... black."

Cashier: "a Grande coffee?"

Oober, but slightly annoyed: "No. Medium."

So you use the same decision making process with women that you do with everything else?

Personally, below the waist plays a lot less influence in decisions where women aren't involved.

His previous "bad decisions" were in a specific realm that they took steps to change and they attempted to insulate the contract from any problems in that area.

I don't deny that the decision to trade for and pay Watson has proven to be the wrong one. But you're using information from now that wasn't available when the decision was made. I also believe they are separate issues rather than connected as you seem to paint them.

And what decisions on the field were the bad decisions? Honestly, I think the problem was more indecision and lack of confidence. Missing throws. They weren't bad decisions so much as slow decisions and likely, results were further complicated by diminished ability due to the additive effect of multiple injuries.

I hear the Mariachis are good here, I will have dos of those babies!
