And slo joe never gave any of his own millions to any destitute illegal or struggling college student but he sure loves to take from the taxpayers to give his so-called "freebies" to every illegal slacker that he invites into our country, throws billions at Ukraine which will never defeat Russia and loves college loan forgiveness since it is not coming out of his pockets but is coming out of our pockets so that he and his corrupt party can buy v**es. What scum. By the way, after you take that bath with the plug in toaster that Smedley recommended. please wash the scum ring you leave around the bathtub.

A recent NBC News Poll lists the top two concerns for Biden supporters and the top two concerns for Trump supporters. The poll indicates that among strong Biden supporters, the top two issues are... A******n and Uniting the Country.

Regardless of how you feel about a******n, the fact remains that this is a big concern for many. The second thing to note is that there is a very clear and feasible path for overriding the Supreme Court by passing a law through Congress that guarantees a woman's right to choose. Efforts are already underway to make this happen and Biden has resolved to support the effort.

Again... not arguing whether it's right or wrong, just pointing out that this change is within political reach. The plan already underway *IS* feasible, which is giving the Biden supporters a good reason to v**e for him.

The second one, uniting the country, is something I would say is NOT within political reach. This may be a top concern for Biden supporters but whether or not Biden can actually do something about it, is in my opinion, doubtful. The divide is cultural and runs too deep. It may have metastasized into politics under Trump but he certainly didn't create it... Trump was leveraging the divide that was already there, which is something we've never seen a president do before. Trump was the first president to openly favor one half of the American people over the other half and I think avoiding another one-sided presidency is what drives this concern.

Moving over to the other side, the poll indicates that among Trump supporters, the top two issues are... Inflation and Competency.

Personally, I agree with the Trump supporters that inflation is the most pressing issue for most of us, but much like the cultural divide, I think inflation is something that no president can do much about. There are of course lot's of politically motivated theories and baseless accusations that push the narrative that Biden caused inflation, but an honest assessment of our post-p******c economy, the free market and the banking system will tell us that inflation is being driven by forces that are almost entirely outside p**********l control.

Finally, there is competency... a top concern for the first time ever. Perhaps this is because our choice in 2024 is between the two oldest p**********l candidates in our history. But it's only a top concern for Trump supporters. Well, Biden *is* four years older, but for his supporters it's not a top concern. For them, Biden seems to have proven himself over the last three years to be fully competent with his decisions, despite his age, his geriatric walk and his stammering at the podium. Some of his supporters also know that he has assembled the youngest administration in history and that he actually listens to them.

On the Trump side, where the concern is elevated to the top notches, it's hard not to see it as a vindictive stab for the constant questioning of Trump's competency during his term. But there is also the fact that right-wing media obscures the very things that assures Biden supporters of their candidates competency, while honing in on his stammering and anything else that emphasizes his age.

I also want to point out that political moves rarely satisfy everyone. Any move a president makes will be strongly opposed by some and regardless of how competent the move might actually be, it's become normal for those in opposition to call it an incompetent move.

So what these four concerns tell us is that Biden supporters are more tuned into reality, with the only concern out of the four that can actually be affected by their supported candidate and the other concern being the only one out of the four that can be avoided by NOT v****g for opposing candidate. The Trump supporters seem to be entirely driven by their dislike toward the opponent with one concern that neither of the candidates can fix (so why would it even be an e******n issue?) and one concern about the opposing candidates (competency) that strongly suggests the concern *should* be about the supporters themselves.

Columbia University Administration keeps negotiating with Hamas sympathizers ( terrorists) It's time for Administration to grow some spine and give these little assholes ultimatum: Either you stop terrorizing your Jewish classmates, stop yelling 'We are Hamas' stop blicking entrances for Jewish students to get to classes OR you will be suspended for more than 3 yrs, you will be arrested and charged with terrorist threats.. It's time to stop pandering to these thugs and take back University.. Stop being COWARDS

The liberal take-over of public education, is no "farce", it is reality! NO? How old are you? did you go to Public

schools? [ I rest my case]...*School boards, "c*******t/Socialist-inspired"...teachers, now brainwashed, to the C*******t

manifesto, & *decadence of immorality! [ Both true facts]...Did you pray in the first hour class as a group? Did you

recite the Pledge of Allegiance, daily in school? Did you have "t****y, bathrooms"? *Many things allowed in public

schools today, that were never acceptable 'then"! I had 3 brothers in law, in education, 2 educated, at Central

Mich College; Hopelessly Liberal, the "other", edu. at Mich State...[ Still hopelessly Liberals after 50 + years!] U of

M, Mich, & so many others, now issue a "merit badge of Brainwashed, i***ts, as a 'Sheepskin"...Our GBMNT,

funds these "Unlearning institutions", for the express goal, of mis-information, & mainly omitting factual history,

that makes "ANY", Conservatism, look acceptable...so what's your point of Public ed.?

Back then: No homeschooling...Why?...parents are taking a more responsible approach to their children

education, TODAY...[ Again Why?]...because of the failure of public ed. Demoralizing of America's youth...No God?

{No direction!} No direction?...Crime, & civil unrest! Can Public education be saved? probably not as an Edu.

option...UNLESS THERE IS A RETURN TO PATRIOTISM, GOD, & COUNTRY, & FAMILY VALUES! { ALL THOSE

'OPTIONS", BASIC CONSERVATISM PRINCIPLES!} No hope for Public education, to continue, as acceptable!

[ p.s. I am not jumping on you, just trying to correct a statement, that is not "dead nuts on"!]

Very easy-- Get out your crock pot-- dump in a small package of navy beans and 6 cups of water . Watch a movie while the beans are soaking . Add 4 more cups of water and a few smoked ham shanks . Tysons are the best . Chop up 3 shallots dump them in . I added 1/2 a white onion because it was left over from Hamburgers last night . Turn the crock pot on low . Go to bed . wake up in the morning and fish out the shank bones and shred the meat with a fork . Taste the juice --- perfect --No spice needed or recommended -- turn your crock pot to warm .. Commence eating around noon --eat and eat till it is all gone . Serve with corn bread and a big ol glass of iced tea .

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot, Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known.

Some of his sayings:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket

8. There are three kinds of men

The ones that learn by reading.

The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n than puttin' it back in.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a h****r came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.



ABOUT GROWING OLDER ...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of algebra ...

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about ageing is that it's such a nice change from being young.

Eight ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.
