Just spray some Windex on it

We are now starting day three of post Remembrance Day observance. A weekend where we bbq cows and pigs in remembrance of those who gave their lives allowing us to have a big celebration and attend sales at big box hardware stores. ( The Bible has a verse somewhere about rejoicing a death). The flags are still out because patriotic Americans are too lazy to walk the 50 or so feet to the end of their driveway and pick them up and store them in their overcrowded garages. It has also rained the past several days, I seem to remember something about flag etiquette during my Boy Scout days long ago and far away, something about flags and inclement weather (The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all weather flag is displayed.) Yet we have a our tidy whiteys in a knot over gay and trans people having fun...

In my defense, it's like calling a guy from Ann Arbor a Spartan..

B-b-but Hunter's laptop. (or something)

And businessmen have been notoriously bad as elected executives...

I've seen one prospect report comparing Teel to Patrick Bailey and Omar Narvaez. A good hotting catcher prospect who is also capable in the OF and 2B https://msabr.com/2023/04/12/2023-mlb-draft-prospect-profile-kyle-teel/ BTW he's a UVA guy, not VaTech..

This may end up becoming a nothing burger. Initial thoughts are if there's smoke might as well look for a flame or two... https://frontofficesports.com/white-sox-and-bulls-owner-acquires-controlling-stake-of-stadium-network/

It's a townhouse community, the placement is between the sidewalk and road. I really don't consider it a big deal other that the fact it was done in several subdivisions in the area.

We were out of town Friday and most of Saturday. Came home and the small flag was at the end of the driveway, small not saying it was from our state senator and other republicans in the region...several of them candidates. I'll keep it there, no big deal, I probably prefer an insurance company or real estate agent. I'd feel the same way if it was the Democrats. This is a holiday that remembers those who were killed in service, I'm not crazy about the commercialization. And to Romad1's post, yes this a very big military area. Nearby is the Navy Weapons Station, Fort Eustis and Langley. Not to mention Camp Peary, otherwise known as The Farm

I would like to commend the local Republican Party for supplying flags for the end of our driveways even though I still believe it was an empty gesture. That has been the only thing of substance they've done in the last two years. We the people deserve more.

I just don't trust the party that took 15 votes to elect a House leader to agree to anything he may have promised.

There was a time not that long ago that Twitter was the go to for breaking news. Not so much now thanks to ****ty algorithms Thanks Elon

She had me from "We do nothin' nice and easy...." on Proud Mary...and on to Tiny Dancer. Name me one other performer in 1975 who could pull this off Nobody does it better...

I agree with Bill Kristol here, Biden should tell the former football coach as long as he holds up promotion of senior military officers the bases in his state will not even get a sniff of mess hall upgrades...That's called old fashion political hardball.

And reading from what one person has described as from a call center. Remember only closers get coffee

Most of what you post is thoughtful and reasonable. Fairly mainline from my meager interaction with folks offline. I admit "mocking" those I consider Faux Christians. Those who wear their religion on their sleeve while never truly practicing the teachings of Christ. I believe in prayer and meditation but believe that it should be done privately. For example, my wife commented last night about a bill in the Texas Legislature that would mandate the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools. I wondered aloud how many of those commandments are regularly broken by members of the legislator. Some of the worst political infighting I've seen have been done by church boards.

You ever notice they go after drag queens but never say a word about strip clubs?

Nor will they ever admit that Obama bailed them out of the 2008 near market crash and housing crisis.

Another TQOP led Witch Hunt failure...
