“CNN said that “though not impossible,” it’s unlikely that Kennedy will qualify.”

When you come right down to it, other than making sure no one is helping President Biden (unless somehow the questions are mysteriously made available ahead of time) or that Trump forgets that he is not giving a speech and never shuts up - there is no real reason for the two of them to even be i...

“The ranks of the double-haters — voters who say they don’t like either major party presidential candidate — are at a historic high and make up...”

The likelihood of a change two either the Democrat or Republican nominee for President in 2024 is nearly non-existent, but there are a lot of folks in the good old USA that think that neither of them are worthy of the nation's highest office. Nothing can be done so long as big money controls the...

The Real Problem With Prices

“"The cost of just about everything went up, after more than a decade of not simply price stability but price stagnancy"”

We hear the trumpets announcing that inflation is only rising at a rate of 3% and not the 9% it was a couple of years ago and the powers that be in Washington D.C. expect the masses to cheer and be happy. But there is no cheering There are sighs of resignation, tears of despair and wails of...

Fetterman says wild Oversight hearing was worse than ‘Jerry Springer Show’ BY JUDY KURTZ - 05/17/24 11:31 AM ET

““In the past, I’ve described the U.S. House as ‘The Jerry Springer Show,'” ”

I seldom agree with anything that Senator Fetterman has to say on any issue, but I think he has "nailed it" with his description of the U.S. House of Representatives (at least the versions in the past decade).   The inability to perform basic functions, a total lack of across the aisle governing...

“"Sonia Sotomayor's Retirement Is A 'Personal Decision", the White House”

Another issue to be considered by people in making their voting decision this November - will another Supreme Court seat be filled by the next President of the United States?

“"The state of Oregon has effectively shut down small farms and market gardens on a large scale, and they're actually sending out cease-and-desist...”

The state of Oregon is shutting down family farms When I saw the headline I thought it was a satirical political article. Family farms lived on and managed by families for generations are at stake Where will the food produced by these farms replaced from, huge corporat co-ops that will charge...

““You’ll hear a lot of commentary that government ‘hasn’t done jack for me,’” Cotton said.”

The stock market is doing well. Inflation is high, but not as high as it has been. Gas Prices are going up, the real estate market is a bit unsteady again Unemployment is down But what about the cost of groceries, the cost of rent, the cost of day care, the cost of fuel for the car

(American Citizens Think} The World Holds the U.S. and Our Leaders in Low Esteem

Via: Robert in Ohio  •  News & Politics  •  17 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“In the most recent survey, fewer Americans — 42% — say the United States rates very or somewhat favorably in the eyes of the world”

The status of our country and out leaders has fallen on the world stage in recent years. The current and most recent former President are viewed as not respected by the rest of the world And those are our choices in 2024 -  Shameful

“ “killed by an illegal. That’s right.”, Joe Biden”
