I wonder what my two deceased old friends from Youth Group would say about that if they could, but I understand, because we are all attempting to be good and right, all at the same time. Both have a 50 50 chance to create function and improvement and sometimes if not all times, only time will tell.

When you’re in a position of power, like Tim and Donald and the **** hits the fan, decisions have to be made quickly using the information at hand. You definitely don’t want MSli attempting them We all know being around a sick co-worker puts us at risk, so why is it so hard to understand why he chose to close down large none essential meetings Now on the flip side Donald may not have been far off with the bleach concept. I read one time, in a scientific journal, a scientist accidentally released a nasty specimen. The article said that he took a small amount of bleach and sniffed it up to instantly neutralize the virus ….. Don’t do this unless you’re a trained professional ! ! But it just goes to show you, WE ARE ALL JUST ATTEMPTING TO BE RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

I had two businesses when Obama was elected. One was based on people having income for things they don't absolutely need. I had been hand building furniture for years. It folded in two years.......
And I had to go solo installing carpet to keep the other one afloat. My town went from 5 carpet stores to 2 in two years and finally down to one. His fiscal policies ruined the economy.

Too many give-aways.

Or maybe that was just the economy correcting itself. I want to have a bad ass economy just as much as the next guy but we can’t always be in a constant state of growth. That’s just not realistic.

I'm voting for the guy the media hides from view. This is Trump when he's not at a campaign.
He's like this every time he's doing one on one with an average citizen.

got any suggestions

Gonna have to bring back the poor farms. Of course we will have to rebrand them as something different. Something that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like kittens do. Definitely gonna need kittens for this one.

Remember how Elon reduced twitters workforce by 50% and it's still functioning just fine?

According to a report by Randstad RiseSmart, it is projected that a significant 92% of employers are preparing for layoffs in 2024, as they navigate the economic implications and adjust for potential overstaffing during this period.

And debt. CC debt hit a new all time record of $1.14 trillion dollars.
CC + mortgage debt is at $17.8 trillion and HELOCs are growing as people borrow so they can spend.

Was Walz a deserter? AWOL? Or did he happen to decide to strategically quit at the right time so he wouldn’t have to go to war?

Two different things and it does matter. If it’s the latter then your very own candidate would call Wals smart for using the system to his advantage.

Secret Service agents taped over a security camera and broke into a Massachusetts hair salon while securing the area for a Kamala Harris campaign event, according to the salon's owner.

The salon's security alarm rang the whole time. The security footage from the two cameras, which Powers shared with BI, doesn't show anyone allowing the people in.

"There were several people in and out for about an hour-and-a-half — just using my bathroom, the alarms going off, using my counter, with no permission," Powers said.

"And then when they were done using the bathroom for two hours, they left, and left my building completely unlocked, and did not take the tape off the camera," she continued.

WTF is wrong with secret service lately?

Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports from 2014-2023 regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4%, the correct number is at least 35%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 51.5%.

The shooting that killed three people and injured another at a Greenwood, Indiana, mall on July 17, 2022 drew broad national attention because of how it ended – when 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, carrying a licensed handgun, fatally shot the attacker. While Dicken was praised for his courage and skill – squeezing off his first shot 15 seconds after the attack began, from a distance of 40 yards – much of the immediate news coverage drew from FBI-approved statistics to assert that armed citizens almost never stop such attackers: “Rare in US for an active shooter to be stopped by bystander” (Associated Press); “Rampage in Indiana a rare instance of armed civilian ending mass shooting” (Washington Post); and “After Indiana mall shooting, one hero but no lasting solution to gun violence” (New York Times). Evidence compiled by the Crime Prevention Research Center shows that the sources the media relied on undercounted the number of instances in which armed citizens have thwarted such attacks by an order of more than ten, saving untold numbers of lives. Of course, law-abiding citizens stopping these attacks are not rare. What is rare is national news coverage of those incidents. Although those many news stories about the Greenwood shooting also suggested that the defensive use of guns might endanger others, there is no evidence that these acts have harmed innocent victims.

Seems, the politicization of the FBI has moved beyond enemies of the dums being prosecuted! Now, the big bad guy in the dums target, the 14th Amendment is in the sights of the FBI

That information is good to know and I’m glad we have good guys and gals, brave enough and confident enough to do the right thing when it’s obvious that a fallen human being is doing the wrong thing.
However, reporting this type of news nationally, every time it occurs could send the wrong ( scratch that ) could send a risky message to both parties, thereby empowering them both with more information then maybe is necessary.

As far as the FBI is concerned, they ! Like every huge organization ( NRA) probably need some reeling back, and that’s what the constitution is for. Now all we need to do is reel back elevated attitudes of reactive fear, So good guys with the guns don’t hurt the good guys made out to be bad. How about we replace it with a little more responsibleness, IMHO

It is extremely rare for a legal gun owner to commit a crime with one according to statistics.
