Frank,

What a ridiculous comment. Should the Democrats/Liberals withhold any derogatory comments and say how thrilled they are because she is a woman of color.

Frank Wiley

Remember all the hoopla over Kamala?  Being a Woman of Color?  Nikki Haley was a Governor and the U.S.  Ambassador to the United Nations.  A WAY MORE Qualified Woman!!!!! Not that ridiculous ------------unless you're a Goffy Liberal!!l

This White Rich Punk that killed the Black Police Officer in Philadelphia should be tried, convicted and executed as fast as possible!!  The Punk stood over the Officer (with 4 children) and shot him in the head multiple times.  

Mike Lorts

Frank,
I assume you supported Kamala because she was a woman of color. I seem to recall you and others on this site ridiculed Harris not for any policy but for the sound of her laughter.

Michael Wetzel

I seem to remember a  k. harris who literally ' prosituted ' her way up throught the channels, starting with a certain Mayor ( Wilile Brown ) of califagna ( who was married at the time ),  to her current position as the usless, disgusting, laughing hyena she is today !......

Lorts, are you listening to yourself? Laughable😂

Frank Wiley

No, I didn't support her----but I disqualified her because she wasn't a Governor!!

  Frank in regards to a pending "Beer Summit" (Post #9344) on the 6th of March [Open invite to all Spartens].

Like to suggest 2 options; #1) Doughbird, on 44th & Indian School (SW corner) straight East of Vig.

                                         #2) La Grande Orange, 40th & Campbell (SW corner) due North of Vig.

 5:30p start time remains

Mike Lorts

This started with Frank asking why us liberals wouldn't endorse Nicki Halley because, after all, she is a woman of color. I disagree with almost everything Candace Owens, a woman of color, says. I must be a racist.

Frank Wiley

Hi Bill, I like "The Vig" because there isn't much outside noise.  How about the two you suggested?  In addition "The Vig" lets me make reservations.  How about the other two?  Thanks 

DeWitt Bacon

Lorts, Frank's question was somewhat tongue in cheek in that it's the Democrats who are constantly promoting gender and color over qualifications. These have nothing to do with anything. Promoting people on these bases is nothing more than pure racism. We should only consider Nikki Haley's qualifications, which we will decide during her campaign. The fact that Kamala is a woman of color means nothing to me. It's "THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PASSAGE OF TIME"  That shows she is not qualified for the job.

Two old ladies, Ruby and Dolly were talking about their grandchildren.  Dolly said "Each year I send them a generous check for their birthday."  "I never hear from them and never receive a thank you message."  Ruby replies, "I too send my grandchildren a very generous check and I hear from them within a week after they receive it."  "In fact, they each pay me a personal visit."  "Wow!  How come, remarked Dolly?"  "Very simple solution.....I don't sign the checks."

Two blondes were driving to Disneyland.  The sign said:  Disneyland Left.  So they started crying and headed home.........A Sexist would say!!!

A clean house is the sign of a broken computer.

A young woman was pulled over for speeding.  A pennsylvania State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book.  She said:  "I bet you're going to try to sell me a ticket to the Pennsylvania State Trooper's Ball."  He replied, "Pennsylvania State Troopers don't have balls."  There was a moment of silence.  He closed his ticket book, tipped his hat, got back in his patrol car and left.

Have a good day!

Frank Wiley

Hi De Witt, You are 100% perceptive about my "toungue in cheek"!!              I got pulled over by a Police Officer.      He asked, "Are you drinking?"  I ask him, "Are you buying?"  Now I need bail money!!

Michael Kelly

The idea that any comparison can be, or even needs be made between Nikki Hailey, and Kamala Harris, is a waste of time, and utterly ridiculous.Havlng lived in California for more years than are even decent, the reputation of Kamala Harris is an embarassment to this State, and that is going some. i suppose that some will say "Well, she's a nice person" but even that is up for grabs. Nikki H. is much the better person in all the categories that matter to this country in terms of Good Solid Leadership.Kamala Harris is plum out of any benefits that might accrue to her in matters that count, even if it might take place "Due to the Passage of Time."

NEW SUBJECT MATTER:  Many here might wonder what the Return on investment will work out to be with our spending Billions od Dollars on helping Ukraine. I have heard Laura Ingraham, and Tucker Carlson get bombastic abour spending money on Weapons to Ukraine versus leving the Southern Border Open, I rack that up to 2 people who meaning well are mixing apples and oranges. Granted, the erstwhile egomaniac President (not Trump you TDSer's) Biden is over in Ukraine making a show over giving them money Congress already Voted to give Ukraine over a year ago, Never Let a Crisis Go To Waste, Huh? but and probably more than that, Biden Family is reaping some kind of "Extra Benefit" over sprinkling money to the Ukrainians that was long ago meant for them anywhoo but (that word again) sometimes you have to put up with Dirtiy Boots to plug up the Holes in the Dam. Now for the punch line in this long winded dissertation

WHY NOT USE THIS WAR HORRIBLE AS IT IS TO WEAKEN RUSSIA AND CHINA? I'M ALL FOR SENDING IN OUR RESOURCES TO THE HILT IF IT MEANS THAT UKRAINE MARCHES RIGHT INTO RUSSIA AND MAKES IT UKRAINE-EAST! DISMANTLE THE NUCLEAR ARSENAL, AND RE-AIM IT AT CHINA AND PUT TRUMP IN CHARGE TRIGGER HAPPY MANIAC THAT HE IS DEEMED TO BE BY SOME. SOMETIMES WE NEED TO ENGAGE IN A LITTLE FLEXING OF MUSCLE TO STOP THE CRAZIES. OF COURSE IF TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT NONE OF THIS WOULD EVEN BE TAKING PLACE. GOTTA WATCH WHO YOU VOTE FOR. .

I remember when Ronald Reagan was preparinng to give a Speech in Europe, and it was certainly one that was accurately expected to be a Wake Up Call for our Russian "Friends" and so Reagan was preparing to make his Speech and they requested he test a Mic and allegedly not knowing it was Hot, He jokingly said "I have given the Order to our Military to launch Weapons in the next five minutes": or words to that effect, Well, the SHTF and panic set in, Reagan enjoyed it, ruffled a lot of Feathers, and then confessed that He did not know the Mic was Hot, and had not Launched anything anyway. THE WHOLE WORLD HEAVED A SIGH OF RELIEF. AND, WE ARE STILL HERE!

Mike Lorts

I know the following will shock all of you.

I'm tired of pussy-footing around with Putin. I say the US gathers all of the NATO countries, as well as, GB, Canada, Australia and any other democracy to gather all of their militaries to give that •••hole an ultimatum. Leave Ukrain immediately or we'll unleash our weapons on every major Russian city. Putin is killing innocent people every day and he only understands aggression. We must stop this •••hole.

Michael Kelly

LORTS: I agree with your opinion. You have succinctly stated the most immediate Solution short of Assassination, of ridding the World of the Putin Plague. It may seem to others overly Simplistic but sometimes good endings have simple solutions. 

Greg Watkins

Michael Wetzel

Mike L.,

 I agree with your solution to a certain degree. But that begs the queston, are we then going to perform that same strategy with all the other corrupt Countries, of which there are many ??...I also belive, that President Trump, was completely correct in his opinion, assessment, that Zelenskyy and his cronies are completely corrupt ( along with biden and his depraved kid ) ! So, when the world discovers that Trump was correct, do we then apply your strategy to the Ukraine ? Also, from what I read, every time we, the US ( biden ) hands over our own weapons, munitions, etc. etc., to Ukraine from our stock piles, we are at the same time, robbing  our own Militaries to adequately defend themselves, and our Country. To say nothing of the Gazillions of dollars, that our Children's Children, and their Children's Children, and beyond, are going to be sacrificing their lives, to repay !.....

 Not to mention that the area known as the Bonbas region, which Selenskyy has been bombing, and attacking with troops,since 2014, those people consider themselves ethnically Russians, who speak Russian, and do not want to be a part of the Ukraine! Why is the Ukraine trying to annex them by force, I believe the word is, Coal.........

Today is National Margarita Day.  What year was the song Margaritaville released?--------------------------1977!  Damn, I've been a "Parrothead" for a long time?

Frank Wiley

My Godson who is a Marine Lt.Col. With a Artillery MOS says the equipment we're sending the Ukrainians is rehabilitated used equipment not equipment our troops would use.  Although we left lots of equipment in Afghanistan, he says were brought most of the good equipment back.  Our "War Machine" and its factories are running at nearly full speed.  He said the technology is changing so rapidly that the stuff we used in Afghanistan and Iraq at the peak of the wars is obsolete.  He said drones at the target site usually send the artillery pieces coordinates remotely.  It ain't Vietnam anymore!!  (I know I shouldn't use ain't)

Frank Wiley

I don't want American Troops in Ukraine and I'm betting most if not all the Countries supporting Ukraine feel the same way.  Putin is crazy!!  He could use Chemical Weapons or possibly even Nukes.  Question for everyone:  If Hitler would have had a Nuke would he have used it?  One fired Nuke would possibly be the end of the world as we know it.  The good news though is we wouldn't have to worry about Global Warming anymore?  (That was tounge in cheek for you sensitive types!!)

Frank Wiley

While I'm on a role.  The Foreperson for the Grand Jury in the Trump probe is giving interviews to News Organizations.  Some Legal Beagles are saying that it is creating a situation where everything might be thrown out because of the interviews.  The Legal Experts say this is why many Juries are sequestered.  Michael K.--what's your take on it?  Public Schools can't have religious clubs but not there is a Satan Club in a Virginia Elementary School. Bazzaro World!!

Mike Lorts

Frank,

We lived for decades with MAD (mutually assured destruction). Do we let Putin hold the world hostage with his threat of his using nuclear weapons. Every day, every hour, every minute we let Putin have his way, he's killing innocent people. The world thought they could reason with Hitler. They finally realized that he could only be stopped with violence.
