Among many, many others. All illegal.

They have drain things for that, and you recycle it for free.

Anything wrong with that?

Joe Biden is the anti Midas.

That is is just about exactly what they tried to do in the FAA, until the Senate hearings, wherein the candidate was so clueless that he lost even Dem support and withdrew his name.

Please. Interest rates advance for a few reasons: 1. Decreased confidence in the currency. 2. Depreciation of the currency, usually based on bad economic policy or simply printing more. (Recognize that?) Also called inflation. 3. A market determination that the economy is going to advance, creating more demand for money. Some reasons are bad, 1 and 2, and some reasons are good-3. If someone feels strongly about one thing or another, you can make a fortune betting on your view, so do it.

That Iranian general was preparing a plan to kill scores of US servicemen.

Not if you try.

Re the tunnel/southern invasion, for the past three years and 51 weeks we haven't done nearly enough to send a message that this is not acceptable. We have vast capability at our disposal to send a message that tunneling is a very bad idea, and other means to detect them before they are operational. Regarding the Red Sea/Houthi problem, start by allowing the carrier task force which has been serving as a dart board under this admin to do what the task force commander requested, and was denied by the national command authority. This crap they are launching comes from Iran. It is stored somewhere, briefly, in Yemen before it is deployed. Those actions are directed by someone. Interdict the supply from Iran. Demolish any storage sites. Immediately destroy the launch facilities. Reach out to those who are directing it and end their existence. In short, quit fuching around with these punks.

What is te first sentence of my post that your quoted. Here, I'll repeat it for you: "and I'm not recommending an invasion into another country." We don't need to enter Mexico to interdict these tunnels, and by virtue of the fact they end on the US side of the border, they are our property. We simply block them up on our end, which isn't very hard to do at all. First you find them, which have have complete capability to do, then you end the drug, illegals and human trafficking that is going on as the result. The problem is that we haven't demonstrated the will to commit resources to do it. It's the same idiocy of defending against drones and missiles in the Red Sea by shooting 1.2 to 2.5 million dollar missiles at them. We are fighting the arrows instead of the archer, and it's time to take a sensible approach.

I get your point, and I'm not recommending an invasion into another country. What I am pointing out is that when your country is threatened, and you have the capability to eliminate the threat, it is not only wise, but a gov responsibility to do so. We have not demonstrated we take this drug, illegal immigrant, trafficking thing seriously at all, and we need to do so. We have the skill and resources to eliminate all of these tunnels. We have simply chosen to focus on other things, like flying illegals all over the country. Very bad gov policy. Pure negligence.

Good news on discovering the tunnel into our territory. Meanwhile the Israelis launched a 150+ man mission deep into Syria that involved three low flying helos, a bunch of fighter cover and deceptive strikes, and destroyed a long range missile production facility hundreds of feet underground. Facility destroyed. Everybody out safely on the Israeli side. Incredibly complicated. We celebrate finding a hole into our own land. The difference? Desire, commitment and leadership.

Again, simply discgraceful. New low.

I simply can't believe this action, or how decrepit this administration has become. This man destroyed currencies, demolishing people's purchasing power in order to make a personal fortune. After a few successes, the Thai baht comes to mind, he was going after the Mexican peso when the US Fed intervened. Just a horrible human. A disgraceful, money motivated award. It can't get worse.

Solar and wind farms are extremely real estate thirsty. NASA figured out this problem years ago, and solid oxide fuel cells at the need site made far more sense and require no grid. They are getting quite close to being comparable to grid electrical costs, and much, much cleaner.

Bud Lite 'em.

We had ours for twelve years. Had to replace the control board once, at about the ten year mark. Never had any other problem. Wouldn't change for any other option.

What I view on this is meaningless. What is germane is that you stated that Carter used superior moral judgement by not allowing his faith to oppose abortion, though he opposed it personally. If you view human life as existing in utero, there can be no justification. If you don't, you don't. Can't have it both ways.

None. Not sure your point. Raised three through college. How many did Jimmy adopt? Horrible president. Just horrible.

If this is true, and I'm not going through a paywall to see, this is a serious violation.

I am completely aware, and those injustices have nothing to do with this issue, nor the false claim that any of those were an accurate response to faith. Viewing abortion as a moral decision that indicates advanced morality is ridiculous. Some people view abortion as the taking of human life, just as some viewed slavery as the same. Others did not. To each his own, but it is nonsense to claim that Carter has some high ground on this. The man was a horrible president. Fraudulent, as was his deceptive "common man carrying his own bags" bullstuff when they were always empty and his aids brought the real bags well behind him and away from camera view. Again. Fraud.

Completely disagree. He was uniquely and historically unpopular. This is not the path to re-election: What the country thought of Carter Terrible inflation. Terrible economy. Terrible Commander in Chief. I find it quite odd to state that "he didn't let his faith get in the way of the ...moral arc of justice."

The stock market is a forward looking entity. Check out the S&P chart when it became apparent Biden was toast. In addition, when you have high inflation, it is wise to get out of $'s and get into other things, like stock. The last years have been good for those who are so invested. Not for those who hold cash and live month to month. I'm not being political. It is what it is.

He wasn't a "victim of circumstances," he was a victim of his incredible naivete and bad instincts, and being a phony. I remember quite well when he ruled that all military spaces must reduce their thermostat s to 65 degrees. We froze our butts off trying to work and live in that. Just stupid. Everyone wearing coats all day long inside, and at night when you were the duty officer. Late addition. He also mandated that all thermostats be changed on a specific date, so 65 in the winter, I don't remember the summer setting for AC. Didn't matter what was going on in your area weather wise, you simply had to do it, Pure idiocy. None of that was as bad as his hands on issues with the military. Atrocious commander in chief, not even aware of the issues. Stupid, and unwanted negotiator of the Agreed to Framework with North Korea which guaranteed them a nuclear weapon, and that was done outside the approval or even knowledge of the Clinton Admin.

For what it's worth, here is an unedited commentary by the pilot of the F-18 that was shot down by our own cruiser, the Gettysburg. It's tough to understand if you don't know the "language," but quite funny. As reminder, it was a two seat F-18 flying a tanker mission, carrying external tanks to give fuel. He also had an aim 9x sidewinder missile on board, which he mentions. Anyway, four minutes, but quite funny. F-18 pilot relates experience getting shot down by our own ship last week
