Successful Economy or failing economy, this person of no distinction should be denied the presidency. November 13, 2023, Letters from an American, Prof. Heather Cox Richardson In a speech Saturday in Claremont, New Hampshire, and then in his Veterans Day greeting yesterday on social media, former president Trump echoed German Nazis. “In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day [sic] we pledge to you that we will root out the...

As taken from Civil Discourse. The attack on Pelosi’s husband. This is not major news until you get to the third paragraph. You then read about how the fat xxx is making light of the attack on Paul Pelosi with hammer. I can tell you what treatment prisoners might receive in person from levels 1 to 4. I would love to see trump in a level 4. Won’t happen. Possibility of a Level 2 with exposure to other prisoners. Watch how you name quickly fades....

Prof. Heather discusses Biden motivating the FTC to start the process of breaking up monopolies and weaken up the economic power of these large entities.

I agree with Lloyd’s dad Gabe and also Lloyd. Big trucks including construction vehicles exceed the speed limit. Their weight does not enable them to stop in short distances.

Been busy updating my computer when I ran into an issue. I had paid for the Geek Squad when we bought a new Sony TV for our new house in AZ. I took my lap top into them and they sorted through it all , fixed the issue, corrected some other issues I di not know I had, cleaned it up, and it cost me nothing. We used their help with the Sony also via phone. The lady on the other end told us how to fix it. So I am behind. But back up and running....

Upon hearing the Latin term caveat emptor, we likely think of the Uniform Commercial Code – of legal matters regarding commerce. These days – it turns out – ‘let the buyer beware’ is also very applicable to politics and the media. Fox News isn’t only hiding behind the First Amendment; it is also saying that one should know better than to believe the lies it is peddling.

Just when you think no one is reading your work, a comment like this pops...
