Maybe there is some truth to Dem women being most concerned with being allowed to kill babies. People on the right were disgusted by his comments. People on the left embraced them.
That is true. I know some personally who strictly have abortion at the top of their list. Always. When looking at the overturn of Roe v Wade, I was shocked. And you can see that behind the scenes Roberts was trying to get some sort of compromise decision and Thomas was having none of it. Democrats have lost any moral high ground they thought they had though. Let’s see how quickly we get a CR now. Dems need rage to drive their voters to polls.

Right on cue about hate politics and moral high ground.


Jeff had no issue supporting Jay Jones. Of course, Jeff has no kids, but apparently that was a total non-factor since women in great numbers loved the guy who fantasized over murdering children and pissing on their graves. It harkens back to the days when it was said that women appreciated men who treated them poorly as opposed to gentleman.

As for our buddy Train, he is homeless today. The Republican party sucks without Trump and must embrace populism to win. The left has gone full blown commie which is perfectly fine with Jeff, but likely not with the Train. Tough day, but a party must adapt or die - kind of like NYC.

My buddy, a former U of I All-American and national champion (team) who grew up and lives there to this day, said "Empty the jails????????" and "When people here start getting murdered regularly, they STILL won't admit they were wrong"

I agree and hold up Jeff and Stone as examples.

"Empty the Jails", has consequences for ALL involved !

Matt just received a No Court notice on a JD 16 year old that he arrested 4 times for ARMED Robbery and other NYPD Units had arrested a total of 8 times in the past 12 months in NYC.

He never spent more than overnight jail, till released !

The No Court notice ?

The kid himself was just murdered !

Pretty sure that country has a handful of men playing women’s professional soccer.
I have never in my Life watched a Women's "Professional" soccer game, NOR more than 5 minutes on TV !

The ONLY FULL LENGTH soccer game that I attended, were games that Matt was in, because he was too big for Pop Warner !

He was the Goalie and when the ball was at the other end, I would yell at him to do 25 pushups !

Somehow I still come up in this chain months since my last post. And it may be awhile before the next.

I do think we've hit the height of Trump Term 2 after a beyond horrid 24 hours for the Big Orange.

1. The GOP electoral results last night were hideous. It's not about losing, if Rs had been within 3 in VA and NJ they'd be dancing topless on the table. Crushed in VA. Crushed in NJ. Redistrict all you want, but Rs are pretty much toast in the 2026 House race. Screw around more ... the Senate becomes no sure thing.

2. The tariff argument went hideously for Trump today. Neil Gorsuch and ACB with dominant performances in questioning. It strikes me as 6-3 striking the tariffs down, maybe 7-2 as we have no clue what Justice Thomas was thinking. If my 6-3 guess is right, 23 federal judges will have evaluated these tariffs, and 16 held they deserve to be nuked.

3. Mamdani sucks, but his powers are awful limited. Jay Jones sucks worse. On Jones, if Republicans are voting for Trump regardless of character, why shouldn't Dems vote for Jay Jones? I'm a hard "no" on both.

4. For good measure, Republicans lost easily in statewide races in GA and PA. GA was low turnout so dismiss that if you'd like, but PA sure wasn't.

5. I personally cannot wait for Trump to topple Maduro. I doubt most Americans will agree with me, but at least Trump is winning there!

Says the 33 year old with no prior work experience. NYC voters are stupid.


In the film about the Nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, the head Soviet in charge of one portion of the event had headed up a shoe manufacturing plant as his resume # 1 !

These leftist news organizations and people are absolute goobers.


We have 4 Adults, 1 college grad, 2 Elem children, 1 fully grown dog, 2 puppies, 2 fully grown cats and 35 +/- chicken layers (you try to count em !)

Which should be sent to long term over night Camp ?

Not surprisingly, it just came out that this guy has a pretty nasty criminal record, including domestic abuse.

Dems want guys like this to have unlimited access to women’s spaces. Or, it’s just one of those things they don’t care about.

Wait, I thought you had posted in the past Trump hurt the GOP when on ballot? He was not on the ballot yesterday.

I didn't even watch the news last night. The news built this up. We saw losing polls and I accepted those as accurate.

The shut down probably hurt the GOP.

Do you think the tariffs have been effective or have value?

I enjoy your posts even if I don't always agree. Yesterday could/should have been better for the Repubs but they likely were losing in NJ and NY. Several of the pundits talked about how many Republicans have moved from those locations and the hollowing out of the Republican base. I think there is a lot of truth there. The remaining Dem base votes Dem, even if for an attorney general (Virginia) who is a horrid person.

I think it is a worrying aspect of America as we are getting geographically partisan. It should be one country but it is not. Communists, er Social Democrats are ascending in the major cities which control major states and I have no idea what a regular Democrat is anymore.

It's funny but the Jewish leaders in NY are warning Mamdani about what he does as mayor, after they voted for him. He is going to do what he wants, he already ignored them the entire campaign. Why did they vote for him?

Why did they vote for him? Simple answer - They are very stupid people.
