They won't complain until there's another toilet paper shortage. That's what I'm investing my fracking money in.

I've wondered about that. My parents bought their house on an assumed loan way back in 1968. I'm under the impression that you would have to come up with enough equity to cover what was already paid on the home. I think that would be much harder to do than the basic 20% or whatever down for a standard home. I am happy to see where they are starting to crack down on large investors gobbling up numerous homes for resale or rental purposes. That to me at least is what is holding back first time buyers or even those of us seniors who may have sold a home to downsize, then try to get back into the market after renting for a few years.

Yep, Trump sold the country for a measly $277. Such a great businessman

I think you know the answer. Just answer my question for once.

Yet you keep harping on Hunter Biden yet seem to have no qualms with the deal Jared Kushner made directly with the Saudi government. A deal that may have potential security implications and foreign influence. Make sense of that. Nobody has said Hunter is a saint. Trump pardoned Kushner's father and gave him an ambassadorship. Who is the hypocrite here.

Those dang tourist from Illinois?

Not defending it, but the last time Congressional Critters received a pay raise was 2009.

Unfortunately I feel like they're like the poor people in Jonestown. They'll keep drinking the Trump Kool Aid until we become a true third world nation.

They just keep getting weirder. How does one justify voting for these clowns https://newrepublic.com/post/189490/maga-victoria-spartz-doge-republican-majority

The so called religious, seem to forget the basic part of Christ's teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. Too much time on the Old Testament, not enough on the New. Thanks to guys like Falwell and Robertson the church got too involved in politics and forgot about tending their flocks. Don't get me started on SuperChurches.

We watched it last night. Excellent cast, very well done.

I need to make a resolution to get to a few parks this year. I see Richmond is promoting John Smoltz for their opening day. My initial list would include Richmond, Norfolk, maybe Fredericksburg, Va...Salem and a possible stop in Lynchburg. Durham always seems to be out of town when I have my Duke appointments. We stayed at the Aloft (?) next to the ballpark until their prices became outrages (compared to others a bit farther out).

Hershel Walker gets an ambassadorship. A free vacation in the Bahamas

If they do it it's Patriotic. If a "liberal" does it....

Mike Vick named head FB Coach at Norfolk State. He grew up near there. Still an interesting choice https://www.si.com/college-football/michael-vick-hired-norfolk-state-new-head-coach

I just wish he'd dial it down from 11 to about an 8. It's a game, not life and death. But then the last time I got too emotionally involved with a team was the 1992 Pirates. I still hate Sid Bream, but Barry Bonds also deserves some of my ire.
