Your article explains that the meaning of woke was quite different in 2017: “The use of the word "woke" grew in popularity in 2017, when...
I was just using that word as shorthand, since that’s the term that gets used in here. I mostly mean this: While most have rightly fought for...
I think you are focused more on socialist ideas, which are today found in the platforms of both parties. Check out Trump’s messaging, it’s often...
Im actually someone who would never vote for Trump and am also worried about wokeism. I also don’t much care about VP picks, but perhaps others do.
Trump is something else, but this video is the kind of awkward thing that politicians have been doing for centuries. [IMG]
As you rightly pointed out, political parties have a single goal: win elections. The two major parties moved to a more (but not totally) direct...
I understand what you are saying about Harris’ nomination being undemocratic. What I’m suggesting is that parties were never meant to be...
This is a most challenging problem, contra. No one wants an evil state, but the problem is that apart from obviously evil acts such as murder,...
Thanks for the idea. We haven’t used sandbags much. We have three sets of double doors that face the river, in addition to the front and garage...

Indeed. The ultimate water level will be determined by some interplay of wind speed, wind direction, and timing of the tides. It is near the...
Lots of wind here in Tampa now. The river is up a few feet but looks like it won’t get over the seawall.
I’m paying $70 a month for YouTubeTV, which is a nice product, but if I mostly have it just for sports. If Venu has a good DVR function, I’m...
Parties are not government entities and their procedures are entirely their own to decide, and no one is obligated to support any party. As...
For sure. Plus Mt Rushmore is dangerous enough as it is. It almost killed Carey Grant, you know. [IMG]
Agreed. I know quite enough about Trump. I want a debate to see Harris, and I will be quite annoyed if she manages to get to November without...
What a race. Salvages the US’ 120 year streak of individual men’s gold. Paris Olympics: Bobby Finke sets world record in 1500m and saves a...
I agree that this was a good move for Trump. He would have looked very weak to refuse to debate Kamala outright. That said, I don’t see how this...
