  1. There has never been a Palestine so not sure what you mean by " getting rid of Palestine" unless you are truly unaware of the history of the region. As for "home is home" I had to leave NY because it was the only way to better my life, grown ups sometimes have to make hard decisions in order to better the life of themselves and their children. Home is where my family is, so maybe you and I will never agree because we clearly value very different things.
  2. I can't tell if you are serious or just trying to be funny. One of the reasons that we have had zero gun murders in my zip code in the past 20 years is bad guys are smart enough to know that half of us have guns and will kill them. The few murders we have had are all from baseball bats or knives. Guns in the right hands protect people, I'm liberal hands are a threat.
  3. Can some explain why there is no pressure on Egypt, Jordan or Syria to help out the Palestinian people and given them their own territory. Hell Saudi Arabia is much bigger than Israel and very close. I know Israel is not completely innocent but the easier answer would be have the Muslim countries help create an additional Muslim country.
  4. Do you actually believe twitter and Facebook are not deleting articles and suspending people they disagree with? Wow talk about being insulated, I have not been on Facebook in 5 years and never on Twitter but even I know they are doing it
  5. It matters a little but it is not nearly as bad the Magic showing trade deals they were working in the background of a tweet. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is about a 2
  6. I disagree with you on her intelligence. She knows she can win the mayoral race in perpetuity if she simply makes the losers believe that she is stacking the deck in their favor. The amount of people in Chicago bothered by this is small compared to the people who are simply too dumb to realize this is Bull Connor inspired.
  7. It is nice of you to hope more criminals kill more innocent people. I know you get upset when criminals try to kill cops using a car and then get shot but the criminals don't care about you. As for Benghazi the investigations was necessary because the president spent a week lying about what happened after allowing American citizens die he could easily have helped, they made a movie about it called 13 hours. January 6th we already know about and the proper people are going to be jailed.
  8. I am truly confused by the hate on the guy- he is a truly great athlete who has done nice things for many people. Bringing him in is no different than us having Christian Wade on our team at the worst. He is unlikely to make the team but all the teams have training camp bodies, he is simply more famous.
  9. I assume ATL is looking for a 1st round pick back and between his contract and the compensation I doubt there is much of a market.
  10. I can only find one left wing group who admits the data is there. "The bottom line is that there is a large body of literature showing that children of single mothers are more likely to commit crimes than children who grow up with their married parents" https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/12/the-real-complex-connection-between-single-parent-families-and-crime/265860/ I can only find one left wing group who admits the data is there.

  11. Your final comment is not similar to your initial statement. You initially said racism is main reason blacks are behind. Of course racism exists and it still holds back some people. It is bad that our country held back quality people and our country has benefited from allowing all of our people to flourish.
  12. It takes hard work to make money- I have several minority friends who grew up dirt poor but make more than me now. Your point is invalid against the immigrants also. It is culture.
  13. That is stupid and has been disproven a hundred ways in America by the fact we can easily show the actions that keep you out of poverty. If this was true then the Africans that come directly from Africa would not be 30% richer than native borns unless you are gonna argue that those coming from Africa are richer to start. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.blackenterprise.com/black-immigrants-in-u-s-earning-30-more-than-u-s-born-blacks/amp/ As I said your actions directly harm minorities greatly. No can fix the injustice their ancestors faced.
  14. Your statement is generally correct but your solution is detrimental and does not actually solve anything. The best way to help minorities is to help them do well in school but the worst schools with the most minorites in the country are in the most blue areas (Chicago,NYC, Baltimore,LA) and until they fix those cities the majority of minorities do not have much of a chance. In the schools near me the minorities compete well with all other groups, so it does not appear to be racial issue but a school issue.
  15. https://twitter.com/MaryAnnAhernNBC/status/1394766979450425360 I am not sure if it copied properly but it is a tweet from a NBC news person stating Chicago mayor only does interviews with black people.
  16. So you agree that it has been ineffective on the war on poverty?
  17. Once again when you stop working your income goes down, but let is discuss the great society, it has cost us how much money and yet out poverty rate in 2020 is the same as it was 1965, it would seem to me to be woefully ineffective.
  18. Are you intentionally using pointless economic points? The poverty rate is based on my income, when you retire your income drops dramatically, often times to the point you are legally impoverished. My parents have likely been part of that rate since they retired in 2006 but they have always had a nice house and money to have a nice life. Also you are comparing being 70 in 1965 vs today, which are very different, but the funniest part is you are giving the Federal government credit for the improvement in Americans lives that would have happened without them.
  19. You believe that most people would not have health care without the government stepping in? The sad part is you are serious, most people would have a different version of healthcare but 90% of people would still take care of themselves. Secondly your math sucks- as usual. The only way my parents will even get back more from the government in healthcare costs is if my parents at some point need long term care. Of course you probably count all the layers of government employees as part of their healthcare.
  20. This is why Democrats rarely lose power once they obtain it, they will punish you if they lose. Medicare is needed because my parents and all of the people who have worked for the past 50 years of his life has paid into it instead of being able to save it or put it into a long term care plan. You simply made it so getting rid of it would mean people would forfeit literally hundred of thousands of dollars to a government agency.
  21. The reason it is the neighboring towns is simple. Good honest people are not armed and criminals know that. In Indiana and Wisconsin the good and honest are likely armed therefore criminals don't go there. Taking away the ability of good people to defend themselves is stupid.
  22. Where there is a problem with messaging is that the CDC does not respond quickly to new info. It has been obvious since Thanksgiving at the latest that schools could be open safely with some simple precautions but they still are not because the CDC drags it's feet. We have known since last summer that being outside masks are not needed unless you are on top of each other, and maybe not even then. If you are that slow then your "expertise" is useless. I will also state that giving kids a vaccine that does not have any proper long term studies for an illness that has a 99.999% recovery rate for healthy kids under 20 is questionable at best. I have had multiple students miss days from symptoms from the shots but none missed days from being symptomatic from COVID itself.
  23. The only evidence that is was accidental is that the lab has been cited before- I believe by WHO- for poor security and oversight. So I do believe it was accidental but if intentional we will never know.
  24. I will add the clause that you have to consume all the versions of news. I look at Fox, CNN, WSJ, MSNBC, and other smaller ones and see which each is saying. I can't do all of them each day due to time but in a week I see a lot of pages from different sources.
  25. The request are not made to the President but to the house leadership and mayor of DC. Thank you for showing your obsession again.
