It's 2025. Why do politicians (seems like more dems than repubs) like to have sign language interpreters all the time? Why not use captions? It's cheaper, more accurate and less intrusive. At live events like this, it could be done on a screen.

But that's the point isn't it? It's a super visual element saying "I care for the deaf!". It's virtue signaling.

She was commenting that Trump should have been a little more "high road" in his inaugural address…

I asked her what she would do if I got me a side piece, took all the money in our retirement account and spent it all on gambling and blow, leaving her destitute in her latter 60's… Would she be all "high road" ??

For the record… The Democrats and the Joe Biden administration:

1. Cheated in the 2020 election (81 mil, yeah right)…
2. Spent millions of dollars trying to embarrass, then bankrupt, then put Trump in jail…

Off the record, it's even conceivable they tried TWICE to kill him…

I think a "dressing down" in front of the nation was about the lightest punishment FJB could have hoped for… and was deserved…

The only reason pundits (even conservative ones) are criticizing him is because none of that crap happened to THEM…

High Road, my a**….

Go make me a sammich…

i remember the first time I encountered the pronouns on the email thing.

about 8 or so years ago, an older lawyer from nebraska, probably late 60s, who seemed like a pretty conservative guy, had "he/him" on his email. And he didn't have one of those trans-names that goes both ways like "pat" or "kris" or big rob." it was an undoubtedly male name.

I responded to any email once with a "he/him? was that in question?"

the guy called me and pretty much read me the riot act about transrights, blah blah blah. It has hard not to laugh.

any way a couple of years ago, turns out he died. unrelated.

FoxNews is back!

Houston Lee2:36p
After the debacle of the 2020 election, I swore off of watching Foxnews and other news networks. It was just a waste of my time.

Since Trump won, I have been watching FoxNews again. These past 2 weeks have been amazing to see. Most of the FoxNews folks have been gleefully reporting on Trump and his blitzkrieg of EOs and accomplishments. They all see the massive changes that are coming and how they are going to work. Even the DEMs they bring on are seeing the results and its hard for them to complain.

So, if you dumped FoxNews like I did, you may want to gibe them another look.


12Power2:51p
I shut FOX NEWS off when they called Arizona for Biden when the polls out there had just closed. I knew a fix was in and FOX had invited the DNC in on their coverage


CoachtobeNamed$$$2:55p
I was a FOX NEWS junky back in the day when their women wore short skirts and some showed ample cleavage. 2020 stopped watching them. Today it's NEWSMAX for me.


Boomer#853:03p
Not so fast. Faux id still owned by the Murdoch's. They hate Trump. They employ that grifter Karl "the neocon" Rove. Let's not forget the fact that Paul Ryan is on their board.

I suggest going to Newsmax. Two of their shows are anchored by former Seals. Newsmax isn't as polished as Faux, but it's getting better each day.

Faux turned on Trump and was responsible for helping Xiden steal the election.

Rupert Murdoch is a rough ridin' genius man. He somehow got millions of idiots to start watching hours of "news" every night instead of the ballgame. It is the strangest thing and i'll never understand it, but holy crap did it work.

......who calls you 'Nazi' and says 'You are not my parents'. Who rejects the precepts of God and morality.

I can not be alone. But it is a very lonely feeling at times.

Thankful for my other two children who encourage me to be faithful and stand true.

What we are dealing with personally has made me loathe the whole woke nonsense even more. It is a mind virus and it harms families deeply. I righteously resent it.

Scary stuff. I got lucky. My middle daughter is very into theater and was a frequent participant in a local theater group. She has been surrounded by LGBT for most of her formative teen years and on into early adult life including her time at A&M given her pursuits and the people that generally are found in that activity. She took an internship in the belly of the beast at Disney.

However, despite that environment, she is decidedly un-woke and is well on her way to being a staunch conservative. One of my proud moments was a recent photo she sent me of her at her first gun show in Florida. Last year, she asked me for a handgun for her birthday.

You just never know how it will turn out, but all you can do is be steadfast and loving when it comes to kids.

Mine is living a Lesbian lifestyle.

And we won't acquiesece to her demands that we will support it.

We accept she has chosen this path. But we will not be bullied into abandoning the truth of the Gospel.

Luke 14:26:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple."

Sorry to hear this. Girls are harder to deal with than boys. For some reason girls become world citizens and go through a woke phase. I have a teen daughter in HS and I am very politically incorrect around her. She counters with "dad, that's racist" and I explain the reality that it is not racist and explain why not, but I always stand my ground. She has something to learn from me, not vice versa. Schools are generally left leaning and woke but real life education needs to come from home.

One of the things I've told her stay away from Muslim boys. Racist? Don't care. Hateful? Don't care. I don't my grandkids named Mohammed or Abdul. I don't want her in a burqa. I explain it to her to the extent I can. Life isn't pretty, you have to deal with the filth with honesty.

I think she will grow out of it. Just don't fight with her, keep giving her love.

Yeah, my genius daughter said Musk is really a Nazi too when she absolutely should know better. She didn't denounce my wife or me though... yet.

Females are way too susceptible to extremely dangerous thinking. Either the voting age should be at least 40 for females or probably not at all until someone can figure out how to talk some sense into them or else America can't last.

Pride in America is back!

StandUpforAmerica11:44p, 2/20/25
We're only one month into Trump's presidency, and pride in America is back in style.

Maybe the simplest example is the USA vs Canada hockey game tonight. You had a ton of people, myself included, who only watch hockey during the winter Olympics (if then) tuning into tonight's game to root for a bunch of players who were proud to skate for our country. To give a point of reference, the first USA/Canada game had 10.1M viewers, and I'd have to guess the one tonight had a ****load more. For a comparison from just this last weekend, the NBA allstar game had 4.7M people tune in (I think). The NBA is mostly made up of me-first players who have very little pride in this country (as shown during the summer of BLM). Compare that to the guys on both sides tonight who were proud to play for their respective countries.

Yeah it sucks that we lost tonight, but it is great to see pride in our country coming back in style.
