These last four years have hurt so many Americans through inflation, an illegal invasion across our...

The left rails against them, and Trump haters like to talk about them. Tariffs. "Don't you get it? A tariff doesn't cost the COMPANY anything. It's an added tax on US! They are just going to pass along the cost of the tariffs on...

I have been watching Judge Judy quite a bit. I like her show. She really sets these dummies straight. Probably 80% of the time the case is over money being owed. These people really believe they can pull the wool over the judge's...

Am I the a$$ or at fault??
Opinions are welcome.

We have five more days until we vote in the mid-term election. We all really need to use some common sense. Our vote is very important. If you really think that Kari Lake and the new Twitter owner are okay to make jokes about the...

This phrase attributed to Voltaire, many times turns through my head. This happens when I see people who act in ways that seem irrational to me. My children tell me that what happens is that I am old and I look for the negative...

The most interesting topic of discussion yet no one knows enough about it to have a meaningful conversation. I've never read anyone's post on this topic and thought to myself, how well versed this person's perspective is. It's...
