We can't have nice things because the anti-social minority will always ruin it for everyone.  Shopping malls, "take-overs", parks, fairs, concerts....spring break, cruises... welfare fraud, medicaid fraud, childcare fraud....  All good intentions, all ruined by that portion of the population characterized by extreme selfishness and entitlement.

The difference between immigrants and illegal aliens is as easily discernable as the difference between biological men and women.

Immigrants didn't come here with the expectation of a handout. They came here for the opportunity to succeed by way of contribution.

We should have nuked Vietnam. Americans had a better attitude about atomic warfare back then. We could have got away with it.

....speaking of sociopaths.....


"A South Carolina court has overturned the 2023 murder convictions of Alex Murdaugh, a disgraced lawyer who was convicted of killing his wife and son.

The state's supreme court on Wednesday ordered a new trial for Murdaugh over the June 2021 killings...."

This is from when our government really cared about us:




...call me an idealist...but I'd like to return to those days of innocence.

"...Much higher than expect Producer Price Index report

US producer prices rose far more than expected in April, official data showed, echoing signals in the consumer inflation release that rising fuel prices are stoking wider price pressures. On a year-over-year basis, headline wholesale inflation came in at 6% in April, overshooting estimates of 4.8%.

The surprisingly hot readings on consumer and producer prices amid the Iran war fallout reinforce bets that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its next meeting..."

This is the deal with Obamacare. Our only option here as a family is the "Marketplace" because employer provided healthcare that isn't a complete joke is becoming a thing of antiquity. So we pay like $200 to Blue Cross and the government pays $1800.....a month.  But we still don't get to go to a doctor because A) no doctors in our area are taking new patients with that insurance, B) it covers everything except what you actually need and C) there is a high deductible so it's like paying cash anyhow.

Now tell me... Who's benefitting from this arrangement? My family? The US tax payers? .... or Blue Cross ?
