Seems like NOAA has been saying that just about every year since the early 90's, and lo and behold, about 50% of recent summers have been above average!

Peg, there is a basic law of nature you should keep in mind. "THERE . IS . NO . FREE . LUNCH!." Windmills and solar panels do not "create" energy, they simply extract it from the energy flux of the atmosphere. In case you are wondering what the 'energy flux of the atmosphere' is, it's commonly referred to as weather (aka climate).

I take it you would be happy to pay something like $50 for a burger then? Remember the employer DOES NOT pay an employee's wages, the customer does! AND YOU are the customer. Also if a burger-flipper is getting $30/hr, just about everybody else's wages (including, horror of horrors, the "rich") will go up proportionally.

“[Personal income tax] is the largest state tax revenue, accounting for more than $60 billion in 2021, and a small set of filers have an outsized impact on revenues. Those with incomes above $1 million were just 1.6% of all filers, but comprised 44.5% of the total liability in 2021,” they wrote."


Very interesting point, since we all 'KNOW' that the rich never paid their fair share of taxes.

Do you really think that that all those people are nothing more than retirees looking for warmer weather. Retirees that are so scared of the long harsh CA winters, that they move and take their businesses with them. Or board of directors who are so eager to live in a warmer climate they relocate the company they represent and stay put themselves. One must feel sorry for anybody who will tolerate high crime rates, poverty, poor health care, inadequate schools and social isolation just to feel a bit warmer in the winter. Personally I just love how some people make statements that they have never thought through at all just so they can display their exalted level of ignorance.

Would you kindly explain exactly how these picture are so much worse just because the fire arm was of a certain type. Have ever seen the effects from a 16-gage shotgun blast, much less what a 12-gage will do? Lastly, if you look at the statistics, most fire arm injuries are from HANDGUNS, not the left's beloved fiction of the Armlite Rifle 15, which has never been used by any military force in the world!

".... to stop the reckless wonton slaughter of Palestinian women and children".

Very easily done if the Hamas military would stop trying to hide behind them!

I was under the impression that making things "inconvenient" for the government was the main purpose of the first 10 amendments, aka " The Bill of Rights"

No need to "attack" education when you can simply hijack it and redefine it to encompass only your own fantasies: ex. men can become pregnant, the USA invented the institution of slavery in 1619, fewer police officers and prosecutions will result in less crime, certain types of firearms are randomly wandering the streets and killing people, etc.

As usual, I was being my sarcastic self, but I do agree that "common sense" is a long way from being common these days. The point I was trying to make was that even "highly educated authorities" often take very illogical points of view, thus I am not all that surprised when the the rank and file parrot the same points of view. Of course if any of them actually thought about what they were saying, they might come up with a different narrative.

Thanks for the info.

Trump has not been found guilty by any trial jury that I am aware of. He has been found "guilty" by grand juries that only hear one side of the case and by what appears to be some very biased judges. If he has been found guilty by any trial jury I would be very interested in the citation(s).
