  1. Here's a link to Adam's letter https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/06-02-02-0072-0004
  2. In a normal world that would be enough to sink the nomination. But since MAGAS never answer straight questions anyway...
  3. Quick question, since the President has issued orders banning transsexual women from participating in sports why doesn't the ban go both ways. There are women who have transited as well. Is it ok for them to hang out in our restrooms or locker rooms? What about sports, that's no addressed, can they play on the men's golf team if they so desire?
  4. I've been on a weird kick lately. Probably starting a few months back starting with a James McBride interview at the National Book Fair in the fall. Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, Five Carat Soul, The Good Lord Bird, I still want to read Miracle at St Anna when it becomes available at my local library or on Libby. Meanwhile thanks to a recent history podcast I occasionally follow I've started The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution.
  5. From what I can tell the answer to all questions is Elon Musk. He was sold the country by Trump (who doesn't own it) for $225 Million.
  6. February 6 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history
  7. Especially since there is no hint on who the Tigers would get in return.
  8. Parody from the Bullwerk..worth the read “Satisfatti e stupidi”! Man, that Machiavelli is pretty good, huh? POTUS: [silence] Bannon: Sir, are you there? POTUS: Yeah. Just thinking. Bannon: Now of course you couldn’t literally do what Cesare Borgia did— POTUS: (interrupting) Why not? Wow! Where would it look best? Lafayette Square? The Ellipse? The steps of the Capitol building . . . again! Hey, Steve, stay in touch. I got some calls to make. [BANNON DISCONNECTED] POTUS: White House operator! Get me Enrique Tarrio. CALL ENDED AT 2:23AM
  9. He was on Maddow last night. Good interview. As an aside I was taken back by the number of Anti Musk/Trump protests around the country in the past few days. Something MSM (outside of Rachael is not talking about)
  10. This could go in the investment thread, except it is political. https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-markets-610f0280-e3c9-11ef-9e6c-fd3148ff9206.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosmarkets&stream=business
  11. It depends on what Musk knows and what Vlad's told him. $275 Mil plus other grifts goes a long way to guys like DJT
  12. At 72 plus what we have in savings and investments I'll hold pat. Pay off the house, car and a few other loans. If I could get rid of the "Vacation Club" stuff we got into several years ago I'd be set and still do a bit of traveling.
  13. Why isn't anyone questioning Fox's right to broadcast? (Hint, they don't have an FCC license, neither does CNN or MSNBC although their parent companies may own stations) but Trump friendly peasants aren't smart enough to figure it out.
  14. 5 FEBRUARY 1775, LONDON: “I cannot but lament with you the impending Calamities Britain and her Colonies are about to suffer, from great Imprudencies on both Sides,” Benjamin Franklin writes to his friend Joseph Galloway in Philadelphia. buff.ly/3PnJUPO Those arising there, are more in your View; these here, which I assure you are very great, in mine. Passion governs, and she never governs wisely. What we can’t remedy we must endeavour to bear. … “I have however generally strong Hopes amounting almost to an Assurance, that tho’ we may suffer much for a while, America will finaly be greatly benefited by her present Difficulties, and rise superior to them all.”
  15. NPR gets the equivalent of loose change found in your couch (who has loose change these days).
  16. They are definitely targeting Medicare and Medicaid as well as Social Security. Screw older voters anyway...
  17. A couple of ideas. 1. Add a called ball to the HR contest. Batters must "call their shot" to certain spots. 2) Hitting challenges, bunting skills, hitting to opposite field, or hitting certain "targets in the outfield and infield) 3) Fielding accuracy. Outfielders throwing to spots in the infield of fly balls. Infielders making accurate throw on batted balls to moving targets. 4) Catchers throwing and pickoff skills, popups and throws to moving targets...
  18. Trumpers in my FB feed have been trumpeting this the last few days https://www.kennedy.senate.gov/public/2025/1/kennedy-calls-for-fcc-to-review-partisan-decision-to-approve-soros-backed-takeover-of-200-radio-stations Funny, they seem to be OK with FOX, Salem Radio, whatever Clear Channel is calling themselves these days who give us constant conservative radio pablum
  19. Local First World problems, the county has cut off water for the next six hours or so as contractors install a water line into the building site of a new subdivision. FB and Nextdoor is going crazy, I just consider it practice for the next four years or so. The HOA really needs to install portajohns on every street in the community
