Are those well regulated state militias ready to do what the NRA said they were created for, to protect their citizens from a tyrannical federal government. #2ndAmdt

Media should stop calling it Return to Office as it is really Return to Building as public servants are not returning to offices they used before COVID but to buildings where they spend an hour or more looking for a desk and if there is not one are sent home to spend whatever time is left in the day working from home. Massive productivity losses here set against the productivity gains from working from home, but they might get to spend money downtown so the waste is worth it apparently. #RTO

Is this an actual coal/steam engine or is there a diesel engine hidden inside somewhere ?

In brief: The encampment needs to go because we saw all sorts of not nice things outside the encampment.

#PoliticalRant I do not care what jurisdiction or what the choices are, I do not believe anyone should be demonized for voting for the person (or party) they believe is the best candidate. That is the essence of democracy. I also do not think anyone should be criticized for strategic voting (voting for the lessor of evils) if they believe that is necessary. One's vote is one's sacred right.

So apparently Monday’s solar #eclipse will pass over the unincorporated community of #Rapture, Indiana. So we know what that means.

And ironically if the customers even understood how it is claimed to work, they could just buy it once and keep diluting it making it more potent and never have to buy it again. Crappy business model.

Actually there is nothing wrong with preferring to be led. It's what representative government is all about. But we used to choose the best amongst us, people we thought were more qualified than us, but shared our values, to lead us. Now for many, people smarter than them are scary and they choose the worst among them so they do not feel inferior to their leaders.

We need to revive conservatism (or at least the conservatives do) so true conservatives have someplace to go besides the CRAP that passes for conservatism these days.

I would bet the average atheist knows the bible better than the average christian, but since there is no book of Christ, none of the Bible was written by him, why do they always refer to it as the word of god, if it isn't.

Except that the Christians themselves say that the Bible is the Word of God even if there non-existent god did not write any of it.

Nobody will ever accuse PP of being a Parliamentarian but he should still understand that in a Parliamentary system it is not the role of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition to blindly obstruct and try to prevent the functioning of government.
