    The LA riots

    Tomorrow's protests are not directly related to the one in LA which is specifically over ICE and the tactics they're using.' Tomorrow's are about Trump. They are about his supposition that he can do anything he pleases with no consequences. Many groups are involved with these and all of them...

    The LA riots

    Do you know that the huge majority of protests planned for this Saturday are about the No Kings Act and the date was selected because of the Great Orange One's big ol' Military Birthday/Flag Day Parade? Do you know that they've been designed to be peaceful? That we have instructions and that...

    The LA riots

    I'm hoping nobody tries to push them into something which can be fodder for media trying to frame it as rioting in need of control. I genuinely think that's what trump wants. We aren't going now due to health situations. Unfortunately, this has been more than a month of what I'm calling a...

    The LA riots

    I do not want to be here but my family is for the most part. Florida and its political vibe is a big reason I'd like to leave. DeSantis can jump off a cliff. My reaction to his "indoctrination" rant is to laugh since I've been using that word forever, especially when talking about politics...

    The LA riots

    There will be many rallies across the U.S. this weekend. Hopefully, non violent. I'm wondering what some of y'all will make of them. I will wave at ya because I will be at the one here.

    The LA riots

    And now, he's sending in the Marines. Honestly, I think he wanted this kind of thing to happen so he would have an excuse to be the...word I cant say here...he is. He wants power.

    Ah, Florida - words fail me II

    I JUST saw this! So far, we've lucked out and have only had iguanas...outside the screens!

    The Decline of the DNC III

    The video cuts off right at that point. I wonder who posted that on "X"? I always laugh at calling it "X". Elon. Good grief.

    Hamas attacks Israel - Part 2

    I definitely agree that Palestinians have refused to help themselves repeatedly. They've elected to be led by terrorists so they're going to be constantly under that influence. I only know the long history of the Palestinian territory from reading and documentaries and most of that was from my...

    Hamas attacks Israel - Part 2

    In Israel, there are factions within factions and all have varied views on Israel's actions as of late. Many do feel that Netanyahu is pursuing his present course for his own sake, as do a lot of US Jews. I am one of them. I feel that by doing this, he's playing right into the goals of Hamas...

    Shooting Outside Israeli Embassy In DC

    Some violence and crime does cross all racial and socioeconomic lines. If the type of behavior is something common in an environment it follows that this behavior will continue to be so. Unfortunately, child abuse, sexual abuse. spousal abuse, etc. seem to cross all lines. Other forms of...

    Shooting Outside Israeli Embassy In DC

    I don't care for a good many of the labels chosen for positions taken. I truly was never sure what "defund the police" actually meant. Wouldn't a better goal be to improve qualification standards and rethink training methods? You can't work with that as a slogan but actually defunding would...

    Shooting Outside Israeli Embassy In DC

    I'm not her biggest fan, either. I am sick of all of this, though. The immediate cherry picking by media to push a notion THEY prefer is just continuing to fan flames. No matter which "side", they just make everything that much worse.

    Former President Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    I'm not sure what your point is. I've never seen or heard Biden, or any other US President, be childishly nasty or write unnecessarily and absurdly ugly missives. "...even the haters and losers" type stuff isn't something past Presidents have ever written to my knowledge. This guy does it all...

    Former President Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    Biden has been out of office for a little over four months and things were going haywire toward the last part of his term as we all know. He may not have been getting checkups due to everything going on. If he was because people were questioning his fitness to govern, it wouldn't have been his...

    Former President Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    I see that quite a lot of people on social media and among my family and friends think he didn't write it or his "handlers" advised him and kept him on a leash regarding his response. Of course this includes me. No surprise there, I know. That so many see it this way says a lot all by itself...

    Former President Biden Diagnosed With Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    All of us know too many people dealing with or who have died from cancer. So horrible.

    RFK, Jr.: Anti-vax HHS Secretary

    I almost did. I had my daughter via natural childbirth in a hospital where staph was apparently a problem but I didn't know that until later. I noticed that the midwife doing the delivery washed her hands when she walked in but put did not put on gloves. I didn't say anything but should have...

    Mass/Active Shooters, Part **FIVE**

    Several survivors of the Parkland mass shooting go to FSU now. They've now been through two campus lockdowns due to crazy mass shooters. Can you imagine what that must be like? They've only recently torn down the old Stoneman Douglas high school building since they've needed it standing as is...

    Mass/Active Shooters, Part **FIVE**

    I don't know. Apparently, he is actually her stepson. He's also a troubled kid. https://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-state-university-shooting-suspect-idd-as-the-20-year-old-stepson-of-a-sheriffs-deputy-heres-what-else-we-know-151349134.html
