Re: Trump threatens school vaccines
Vaccines that make it to market under normal circumstances having gone thru clinical trials aren’t really “new”. That process takes years and is quite extensive. They have usually been in the works for 7 to 10 years. That being said, I agree that is should largely be up to parents to decide whether...

Re: i remember
Los Angeles has hills. The TV stations were on a 5200-foot mountain, and even so most neighborhoods that the rich people wanted to live in had lousy TV reception. They had cable before most people in normal places had ever heard of it. Later on there were satellite dishes, but sometimes the canyons...

Re: i remember
I was able to change channels on the TV with my toes. I guess everyone has to have a talent. :) Changing the rotor for the antennae, was a different story. Ours would occasionally stick, so we had to go outside and yank on a rope that was tied to it. As for what I remember, it's not much. ADHD and ...

He will be under 40 when he is released and probably make millions being a hero to the left. Your math is off. Teixeira, as ap215 posted, is 27 years old. If he's sentenced to 16 years in prison that means he'll be 43 years old when he leaves prison. I doubt anyone will remember him or what he did ...

Re: I Voted!

The party shares/sells their donor lists to candidates within their party. Once you register to vote, the information becomes public in...

Re: i remember
Have you looked at your Internet, software, and streaming subscriptions lately? Add 'em all up and it'll exceed what one phone line and a business listing ever cost, even after correcting for inflation. I have cable and I won't do streaming subscriptions because they're too expensive and mostly don...

Re: An inspirational story
Today I was trucking through Pennsylvania being passed by a young couple. They were so poor that they only had one cigarette. But, they were so devoted to each other that they were sharing it equally. One would take a puff pass it the other who would take a puff and pass it back. It's not often in ...

Re: Time to Confront Biden's Age
The only issue that resonates? Well if you ignore domestic policy issues like inflation and “Bidenomics”. And if you ignore the 8 to 10 millions undocumented migrants and two wars. If you don’t watch the news at all then yeah his age is the only issue that resonates. :roll: You mean the lowest unem...

Re: The GOP Snowflake Thread
If you and I don't show up for work, and we're way past any realistic sick leave or excused absence, we don't get paid. If it happens too much, we get canned. If Congress critters don't show up, or show up and do nothing, they do get paid. There is no penalty at all. We should change this. Where I ...

Re: Time to Confront Biden's Age
Like I said in the past, many people are looking at two numbers; 81 and 91. Biden's age is 81 and the number of Trump's indictments is 91.
I'll take the number 81.
I'll take the number 81.

Completed my mail-in ballot and dropped it off at the library on Friday for the March 5th primary. The county has a number of in-person voting sites as well as a lot of drop-off ballot box locations. In the past, the registrar had two people at the library accepting ballots and this year they had ju...

The debasement of the language would not have been a problem had Gingrich and his class not managed to completely take over the means by which we get our information. It also started when the conservatives turned the media from having to have balanced political programming to spouting conservative ...

Re: No good or bad guys anymore -- stop the madness
All my life I've been at the cutting edge. I get a lot of grief for things I say, but generally within 5 years the general consensus has caught up with me. We'll see if it happens again, or if I just got too old. What I'm saying now is that apathy has allowed a certain worldwide affinity group of v...

Re: No good or bad guys anymore -- stop the madness
I supported Israel's actions going after Hamas after they attacked Israel. What Israel has done is gone after the civilian population as well which is what I don't support. Full-scale destruction of civilian buildings, bombing of civilians, schools, hospitals, etc.. doesn't win any Palestinians over...

What happens if the company the stores the frozen embryos goes out of business. Do the frozen embryos (Alabama children) get returned to the parent(s) or does they become wards of the state?
