What about the power of the almighty Coca-Cola? Perhaps that would be Alphabet Inc. today.

Re: Uhhh, sure, ok ???
I cannot figure why anyone would go to Georgetown for two years, then transfer to Penn--unless it was like why I dropped my minor in German. I realized I could not meet the department standards for a BS with a minor in German.

Training? This activity near the end of the training involved hitting him in the head with enough force to break teeth and bones in his neck. Just what was the product of this training exercise supposed to be? How was this experience expected to make him a better cop?

Re: Plans for Tax
I see alot hand wringing and alligator tears about the heavy tax burden of 'the old family farm' when grandpa dies. The reality is that grandpa is still the owner because he does not trust his kids with the asset and the kids don't want to be farmers anyway.

Re: Actual Musk X-Tweet from Today
I have been reading about problems with Tesla auto pilot for it seems as long as they have been selling it. I know of no other brand car that has hit a fire engine or oil tanker broadside, with the driver sitting sober, but inattentive, behind the wheel. Just recently I read of a driver who unplugge...

Plans for Tax
Trump has posted that the 'rich and famous' who support Harris are stupid. Maybe. Maybe the rich and famous who endorse any politician think the rest of us are stupid. But anyway, Trump was decrying a Harris proposal for taxing unrealized capital gains. I heard about this a week ago from a 'small bu...

Trump's Data Source Identified
There is 'some' basis' for the story of cats feeding these alien criminals and mental hospital escapees from Haiti in Springfield Ohio. One person was arrested, accused of eating a cat, in Canton, Ohio. She is a fully American citizen. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-ohio-woman-accused-0030151...

Re: Debate Night in America
One question in my mind as I reflected on the debate. Here in this BB I have met and lost friends and good people. This little virtual community has a history. One of those I miss is RayThom. I can imagine what his reaction would have been to last nite. So I will post the question: How many cats doe...

Re: Debate Night in America
I spent a few minutes after with NewsMax, a very pro-Trump cable news network. They were hot about the moderators. Did not do any fact check on Harris with all her lies. I don't know about her lies, but I did think the moderators gave her a free ride on the very first question: Are you better off to...

When does he lie? My own BS detector says that when ever he begins relating what someone said to him and claims they began "Sir" I know what follows is a lie. A former high level staffer said that when he begins to play his 'air accordion' what follows is pure fiction, I puzzled about that until I a...

Re: 2024 Presidential polls and projections
I am more interested in Congress. The GOP has had at least 6 years of Gerrymandering to get safe districts, and their current strategy of fixing the local vote counting system. I am anxious to see how that works out.

I m very afraid She is gonna treat him with respect, as if he were a real political competitor within the American tradition, If she does, she will come out just like Neville Chamberlain vs Hitler.

Jeff Stahler, the cartoonist up above, clearly never participated in a Pinewood Derby. These are a tradition for Cub Scouts and one ages out at about 10.5 years.
Snailgate, former Den Chief, who never did a pinewood derby either.

Please note the definition given in the post above for "Vietnam Veteran" IS NOT from a US Department of Defense document or organization. It has even less authority to speak for veterans than the VFW or The American Legion. I served from 1 June 1960 active duty to 1 October 1963 and Army Reserve, wi...

Re: The "left wing" media
That is the puzzle isn't it. The most ardent supporters of Trump are those who are hurt the worst by his policies. I frequent a forum similar to this for fans of a particular old brand rifle. That brand went broke, was bought by Remington who went broke, and is now made by Ruger. The typical poster ...
