    Don yep. Dems are going to be all twisted up like a pretzel trying to convince ‘the people’ how great the Biden economy is doing.
    We didn’t have these problems under Trump. Blue States want their SALT deduction back, like really, really, bad.

    Yeah Don the hangover from the trashed economy that Trump left us will go on for awhile. Unemployment numbers however are below 4% far lower than the over 6.45% that Trump left us.

    I don’t think that you understand how the unemployment numbers are calculated. You should do some research and educate us. In addition, pandemic (something to that can’t be controlled as Biden has proved beyond any reasonable doubt) was in full swing at the end of 2020 so the economic decline at the time is reasonable to any objective observer. Pandemic is ending yet the economy is a mess and is not getting better. Why Paul? Because of bad policy Paul. Good policy (MAGA) makes for a good economy. Absent an uncontrollable pandemic, Trump proved that also beyond any reasonable doubt. Trump is a dingdong. No doubt. But I can accept a dingdong and his mean tweets in exchange for great policy and greater comfort for my fellow citizens.
    Look at the depression of 1920-21. The economy was readjusting after WWI causing massive unemployment and deflation. Wilson did nothing and lost to Harding in 1920. Harding and Hoover immediately cut taxes substantially beginning the roaring twenties. We are in a post-COVID economic readjustment. We are also in a post-COVID social and political readjustment but that discussion can be saved for another day.
    My point is that Biden is Wilson. He isn’t doing anything but making it worse by focusing on politics instead of us. He seeks to divide instead of unite. MAGA calls for unity as Americans (patriotism, love of your fellowman, and citizens) and policies which will bring back the economy just like in 2017. Time to stop petty politics Paul and get on the MAGA train. Choo choo my brother!

    First, it is “Capitol” and not “Capital.” Second, I commend you on deflecting from the substance of my comment. I have repeatedly stated that those extremists who commit violence (on both sides) are idiots. I am talking about government policy, Paul. Prior to the pandemic, MAGA policies expanded our economy and created greater prosperity for our citizens. Such fact is undeniable by any rational observer. Those same policies will bring out us out of the post-COVID restructuring in a better position than Build Back Broke. Biden’s rutterless and unpopular government policies are not working. Biden’s policies are divisive, ideological, hapless, and often times, tyrannical. Time to go with proven policy that we know works and has worked in the past, MAGA government policies. You want to focus on Trump as an individual in order to polarize MAGA policies. I understand your political objective. That is fine. I am asking you to remove the emotion and have a substantive conversation. With which MAGA policy do you disagree?

    That’s probably the answer. I’ve accidentally bought things like that before and ended up with greasy mystery meatfat. Kind of hard to return to the store so it’s a live ‘n learn. Dogs appear to have not gained the dainty eating habits of the modern human, even if a mafia hit was part of the supply chain.
    I’ve sworn off pork as a result. Looking at how pigs are treated and their relative intelligence makes it less of a diet choice. Except for bacon.
    Heard on the radio. Some chat about ‘green waste’ and ‘storm debris’ on the radio due to all the people with tree stuff in their yard. Luckily, the County is right on it. They are ‘exploring options’ and ‘moving forward’. Thank God we rarely have bona fide emergencies. I would suggest a virtual Town Hall meeting.

    I have no one to blame but myself. After visiting the Eric W Rood Center recently, I drove down Broad Street in Nevada City with my windows down. My gut was telling me to keep all windows up because of the airborne viruses that place has been well known for containing for years. But, nooo. I kept a couple windows down because I had the pooches with me and they love sticking their heads out the window(s). I should have listened to that small still voice.
    About the pork roast. Me thinks I have developed a case of broken picker. I should have listened to that still small voice screaming it’s head off, “Don’t to it!” But noooo. I will stick it in the freezer and pull it out next time I go to the dump. That is what I do with all my grease anyway. Freeze it don’t stink up the refrigerator and take it to the dump frozen hard so it don’t stick up dump until after I leave….that is assuming the power stays on. “Never assume” that still calm inner voice is now saying.

    EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein brought EIGHT young women with him on his trips to see Bill Clinton at the White House: Displayed photos of himself posing at the Briefing Room podium at his Palm Beach mansion
    Visitor logs obtained by DailyMail.com reveal Jeffrey Epstein was not always alone when he visited the Clinton White House between 1993 and 1995
    Records show he brought along eight women, including his girlfriends Celina Midelfart, Eva Andersson, Francis Jardine, and Ghislaine Maxwell
    His relationship with the four other women who accompanied him – Jennifer Garrison; Shelley Gafni; Jennifer Driver; Lyoubov Orlova – is unclear
    Flight logs from Epstein’s private planes tally with White House visitor records showing the eight women were with him during his visits
    Maxwell’s high-profile trial in New York heard sensational claims that Epstein was seeing Midelfart, now 48, – a Norwegian heiress – in the mid 1990s
    Andersson, 61, a physician and former Miss Sweden, was also a witness in the sex trafficking trial where she confirmed she dated Epstein in the 80s and 90s
    The nature of Epstein’s accompanied visits is not disclosed in White House visitor logs, but one of them coincided with a swanky dinner in the Blue Room
    Never-before-seen photos also reveal the disgraced financier kept pictures of himself at the White House Briefing Room podium at his Palm Beach mansion
