  1. We finally started doing our family tree the other day. Some good, some not so good. My ancestors were mostly Jews and were clock/watch makers. If you knew my family you’d laugh at that. Of course they did!!!! My gf’s was the Governor of Hartford and purchased/stole land from the Indians which is now Guilford, Ct. We have that transaction in writing. Not a great deal for that tribe. That guy and his wife gave birth to the FIRST white son in the New Haven/Guilford area. We aren’t sure yet if they owned slaves after that. His name was William Leete. He basically ran and owned the entire coast of Ct. They were attacked by the Brits in the Revolutionary war but their militia fought them off. That area is now called Leete’s Island. Her grandparents always joked about ancestors coming over on the Mayflower. I guess they weren’t kidding! Another descendant was in the 39th infantry from NJ and was there when Robert E. Lee’s army surrendered Pretty interesting stuff.
  2. Trump never introduced a real infrastructure plan, or any plan that I can remember. The HC plan wasn’t his. Governing certainly wasn’t his strength.
  3. This board gets their marching orders from My Pillow Guy.
  4. I might be…..somewhere down the line.
  5. A true hero and patriot. Poor Ronald. Not the entrance to the national stage he hoped for. He needs help. Uncle Joe to the rescue!
  6. That lady mayor from Puerto Rico would’ve rolled up her sleeves and been removing debris the entire time, pulling people out of the rubble. Where’s Ronald? His bunions bothering him today?
  7. You’ll thank me some day for being real about Florida. You get what you pay for and there’s no state tax, so you get nothing.
  8. Seniors are on fixed incomes so their money doesn’t get taxed by Florida since there’s no state tax. If you ask me, that savings isn’t enough to make me move to a state that lacks so many services. They’re no longer labor units in the state.
  9. Yeah, I don’t really disagree with anything you said. I think they should probably cover recent history before they jumped into any theory like you describe, and then tie it to present day life. When I was in 7th and 8th grade, and HS also, we didn’t really cover anything more recent than the Vietnam war, and that was a very short chapter. Asians came here on huge boats well before Columbus did, and by not telling that story, you’re a racist. J/k Things can be both good and bad, and a little in between.
  10. I don’t think I have a say in it whatsoever. It’s not my place. I’m the oppressor, not the oppressed. It’s not up to me how it’s delivered. If that’s how people view it and the information is historically and factually correct, I don’t have any problems with it. It’s above my pay grade to make those decisions. The country has an ugly history and it obviously did great harm by white-washing it all of these years. I’ve only read the parts that discuss economic impacts so far.
  11. I’m worried about your brain swelling. https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2290324733293/brain-inflammation-from-covid-19-looks-eerily-similar-to-that-from-alzheimer-s
  12. So he’s saying that whites are still the oppressors. Pat Robertson says critical race theory is "a monstrous evil" that is urging people of color to "rise up and overtake their oppressors" so that once they've "gotten the whip handle," they'll then "instruct their white neighbors how to behave."
  13. This is tricky. Biden wants Trump again, so how does Biden create a scenario where that could happen? Well, you gotta put the squeeze on him to make him feel like his only way out of trouble is by announcing a presidential run. It’s an interesting game of chicken happening.
  14. This really didn’t go very well. So if attacks on Biden’s successful vaccination response and the “big lie” are not helping them sway voters, how is the GOP’s latest made-up controversy, critical race theory, working out? For starters, most voters do not know what Republicans are yammering about. The Politico-Morning Consult poll found that 19 percent have a favorable view of critical race theory, and 52 percent admit they either do not have an opinion or have never heard of it. Fewer than 30 percent have a negative or somewhat negative view of the obscure academic theory. Even among Republicans and Republican-leaners, 44 percent have no opinion or never heard of it.
  15. The 2 microchips will interfere with each other, otherwise I would.
  16. I thought Trump was. My research said he’s returning in August.
  17. Masks back on ASAP folks. The Bubba Militia wouldn’t get vaccinated and now we have deadly variants. WHO urges fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks as delta Covid variant spreads. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/25/delta-who-urges-fully-vaccinated-people-to-continue-to-wear-masks-as-variant-spreads.html
  18. You never heard of a pension? Yup, still going strong in these parts. Are they really going to clean up this site 1 rock at a time? They’re going to be there for 3 months. Ron DeathSentence better figure something out here.
  19. What B-man actually means is this….. His friends earned a nice living their entire lives in a northern blue state, got a fat pension, and then instead of giving back to that community that awarded you that nice life, became so incredibly greedy and fled to Florida to avoid taxes because they’re so incredibly cheap and useless. Those are the people leaving NJ. We aren’t sorry to see them go.
  20. We’re purging conservatives. https://www.nj.com/politics/2019/11/are-you-surrounded-by-democrats-or-republicans-how-jersey-breaks-red-and-blue-in-all-21-counties.html
  21. Old fart conservatives. Good riddance! They move there to stretch their money longer. They don’t care about you or your local economy.
  22. Last thing….once you remove retiree income, since they’re not actually working or contributing to anything other than the HC industry, it paints a much darker picture for Florida.
  23. The story is that you’re full of donkey dust. Ok, Florida = expensive Lets move on.
  24. Why is Florida dead last? I guess freedom ain’t free right? https://www.rasmussen.edu/student-experience/college-life/salary-by-state/#occupation=All-occupations&states=Alaska;Mississippi
