  1. Did you read what his alleged mental illness was ? It was a friend moving away. What kid hasn't experienced that not once, but multiple times when they were in school ? Give me a break. I suppose you don't remember how you were as a teenager, but most that I know and grew up with wanted to be as far away from their parents as often as possible. This kid was 15 years old. He wasn't 12 or under. Oxford Township, MI is a small town even being a suburb of Detroit, but it would be similar to Forney, TX which is a suburb of Dallas. Both have similar populations. If you don't think many teenagers in those types of areas have access to guns then you're wrong. A severed deer head was thrown from the roof of the High School into the courtyard a month before the shooting occurred. That tells me many of these kids go hunting. So this isn't an urban area. The gun in question was purchased by his father, and it was an early Christmas present. I'm guessing they gave it too him since his mother referred to it as such. Regardless, he is the one that took it to the school and shot up the school. It wasn't his parents, yet they now have to serve prison time for their son's actions. This could happen to about anyone that lives in small towns across the U.S. if their child went full retard as this one did. They can't predict what their child is going to do.
  2. The only Monte's I can think of off the top of my head are Monte Hall and Del Monte canned food.
  3. You asked for the solution, and that is the solution to our dilemma. Biden's poor policies and decisions have placed Americans where we are. Today the stock market lost money, because inflation is still a raging fire. Biden is doing nothing to put it out and he's had plenty of time with plenty of what he would call top tier economists. He's been doing basically the same thing Carter did with the guidance of Paul Volker. Stock Market Today: US Stocks Plummet on Hot March Inflation Report (businessinsider.com) Sure it's a great time to save money if you're rich with 5% interest which at the present time is below 5%, but at Chase Bank you have to deposit $100,000 to get that rate. The way Americans are borrowing to keep up with inflation they don't have the money to save. Thanks Brandon !!!
  4. Cain was raised by righteous parents who had only sinned in the Garden, but their sin had to happen for all of us to exist. Adam and Eve weren't punished for Cain's jealousy and murder of his brother.
  5. Last night it was "Black Adam" - A cultural appropriation of Shazam and Hawkman, but who cares I'm not woke. It was better than the first Shazam movie, but I didn't watch the 2nd one because of the 1st one. I put it between Batman the best of D.C. Comics movies and Superman.
  6. I want to watch Michael Douglas and Robert DuVall in "Falling Down" when I see this. The fast food scene will never be forgotten once you've seen that movie.
  7. Only a Van Halen fan would know who Nicolette Larson is. Is Eddie on piano or guitar or both ?
  8. This is how I see it, if they're not attacking U.S. or one of our allies then why bother. It's not our circus and not our monkeys. It's odd to think that Germany and Poland are now our allies, but if Russia was attacking them then I would have a different take. This is Ukraine. We have never had a strong alliance with them in their History. They were not even a top 15 trading partner of either imports or exports in 2020. Foreign Trade - U.S. Trade with . (census.gov). What is the major concern with Ukraine ? We should have learned from Operation Cyclone sending what would be billions today to Afghanistan. We didn't learn from Vietnam or Afghanistan. Why are we making the same mistake. One big difference is Vietnam is a bigger trading partner today than Ukraine and Afghanistan combined. If this was Georgia or Kazakhstan I would be saying the same thing if Russia was trying to bring them back. The areas that Putin wants have always been pro-Russia.
  9. The solution is vote for Donald J. Trump and MAGA ! Get rid of Brandon who is inept as a President. There's your solution.
  10. They already do to an extent with price ceilings and floors. We also know that they want their tax dollars to increase and increased prices also mean increased tax revenue since they are based on the cost of the goods.
  11. I didn't think about that aspect. It's true that Democrat policies to close the economy in the sake of "safety" put many small businesses out of business. Many weren't able to get the money they needed, because of various reasons. Biden has done nothing but raise interest rates to attempt to combat inflation, and it hasn't worked. He's had 3 years, and hasn't done anything.
  12. In it's History Ukraine only sides with whom they will, and it depended on what part of the country they were from. It's been that way for ages long before the U.S.S.R. was formed. Why are we involved with them is beyond me. Why such solidarity from many in the U.S. with Ukraine baffles me. Even during WW II those that lived in western Ukraine fought for Germany while those in eastern Ukraine fought for the U.S.S.R.. Where is the U.S. connection with Ukraine other than Biden ? The only ties we've had to Russia is to keep the peace, but our ties with Russia were more friendly before the Bolsheviks took over. Let them fight their own battles.
  13. It was a quiet war with pro-Russian politicians winning elections in the regions that were mentioned by Trump for Russia to have ceded to them. Many in those regions mentioned had already been given Russian citizenship and could freely cross the border into Russia. We weren't even a major trade partner with Ukraine. Their top 5 trade partners in 2020 were : 1. E.U. 39% 2. China 15% 3. Germany 7% 4. Poland 7% and 5. Russia 7%. 14 (congress.gov)
  14. It left out car insurance and property damage insurance. Insurance Costs Are Pushing Up Overall Inflation - The New York Times (nytimes.com) . Barry wants to blame inflation all on greed, but housing has been driven up by Democrat tax collectors in many cities. Biden met with the Auto Workers Union to support them for higher wages. Bread is higher because of Biden's support of the Ukraine which once produced much of the grains for Europe. Chicken and Eggs - We keep hearing bird flu that could spread to humans. Public transportation and Air travel are both up because of higher oil prices. With the higher costs of goods and services profits may also rise with inflation, and even if the companies reduced the cost of their products 1 cent for each product they sell, the consumer may not see even one penny decrease in the cost of the goods, because the reduction would be less than the price of 1 cent. Barry's article does not show how much these companies are making, but that their profits are up. If it's the same as inflation, then there is no greedflation. They are only maintaining their profit margin to stay in business.
  15. If it would prevent even more people from dying and Ukraine sucking billions out of the U.S., then I'd be all for this proposal. This war has actually been recognized dating back to 2014 with the annexation of Crimea. We didn't begin sending money to Ukraine on a large scale until 2022. I'm actually amazed that Russia hasn't already overran Ukraine and completely taken over. Which leads me to believe that it is a joint venture of both Ukraine and Russia to siphon off money from the U.S. to weaken our economy which it has in many ways. We saw many daily reports on what was happening in 2022, but rarely hear anything today about it. All I've seen is more money sent to Ukraine for what ? Just get it over with.
  16. That's about what I saw.
  17. Why ? Under Brandon's great economy and job growth they just : Best Buy just laid off a bunch of Geek Squad workers (msn.com)
  18. Even though it was mostly cloudy in my area, I was able to glimpse at the eclipse a few times. I can say I've seen 4 of them in my lifetime, and I still don't need glasses and there's not an image burned on my retina. Again, I only glimpsed at it briefly and didn't stare at it.
  19. My favorite was Greezed Lightnin', the coaster has since been scrapped, but you can still ride the train at Frontier City in Oklahoma City on the Silver Bullet.
  20. My Mom used to watch this everyday. I remember Dr. Noah Drake (Jessie's Girl fame), Demi Moore, and Emma Samms. I began to wonder whatever happened to Emma (Holly Sutton), because I have not seen her since the Cheech Marin movie "Shrimp on the Barbie". She's back on General Hospital after 40 years of her characters start.
  21. No, it was just another ridiculous article by the left. That was my main point. Who would want to go to Eagle Pass to see the eclipse anyway ?
  22. "The Suicide Squad" - Avoid this movie, it is terrible. The Super Villains except Harley Quinn are terrible and so is John Cena going around in his underwear does he think he's Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch with a gun ?
