I’m a woman Missy, I don’t have a prostate.
Now for your problem you might want to try the dating app called “Righter.” It’s a dating app for people who can’t find love because of their MAGA affiliation. Here’s an article.

Holy chit!!! You're a girl? Are you sure? I say that because your ideology believes that tomorrow if you feel like a boy tomorrow you can be one, DNA be damned. You can be a cat or a dog too. So not to be a dick but what color is your hair?

Quite the generality. There are more Pubs in California than Bama, Missy, Ark and La combined.

I always find it kind of funny how obsessed so many Floridians are about New York and Cali. And Portland - can’t forget Portland.

It's not just Floridians, its the right in general. Never quite understood it. Missy, Bama, Ark and many other red states just wish they had the economy that California has.

I always thought the 6th borough was Ft. Lauderdale. I still hear (and use) the term though.

I and my parents are Florida natives, but living in the Panhandle now, I have been told I carry a touch of New York accent.

As an aside, UF has among the lowest tuition costs in the country for this reason. All of these retirees pay taxes, but don't cut into the state's budget on its primary expense (education)

Of course, historically most of those same retirees have consistently voted against education issues/taxes since they already paid to educate their kids up north. Might have something to do with Florida teachers being among the lowest paid in the country.

Hoping for a big win by Zeldin over Hochul:

NY Gov. Hochul Tells Republicans to 'Get out of Town' – RedState

She's a first-class witch for this plus giving the location of a Zeldin rally to her supporters when one of same showed up and tried to stab Lee Zeldin in the neck.

New Yorkers needn't stop with just republicans moving to the Free State of Florida. You democrats tired of the democratic socialist inept New York leadership come on down too. The only thing is leave your old, failed politics behind and register as republicans when you get here. Embrace Florida or stay home in your misery.

“And we are here to say that the era of Trump, and Zeldin and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, ok? Get out of town. Get out of town. Because you do not represent our values. You are not New Yorkers,” Hochul said Monday.

Great way to insult millions of New Yorkers by telling them that they aren’t New Yorkers, just because they don’t share her radical political views. You’re right, Gov. Hochul, Republicans don’t share your hateful “values.” When you want to kick people out of the state who don’t agree with you, that’s sounding pretty dictatorial to me.

Replace FL for CA and I agree.

New Yorkers have been coming to Florida since the 1950s; my parents came then. Miami Beach used to be called the 6th Borough. And Florida’s population has grown from the 26th most pupulous state when I was in college to third. This movement trend has been around for a long time. So, your conclusions, like most of the other right wingers, are wrong. And there is nothing free about Florida. Just look at the “stop woke” law, which was cheered by you right wingers and, predicatably, declared to violate the First Amendment

It has never been like this in ChampaBay. The amount of people coming is off the charts and they have lots of money to overpay for homes. They are coming from everywhere.

Your point? Dictator Biden can fix this.

In terms of interest rates, the first home we purchased in the late 70s was a 15% adjustable-rate loan because the fixed rate was 18%. There is nothing wrong with these still low interest rates given our high level of inflation at 8.5% and headed back up with the end of draining the SPR.

Higher interest rates are a shock to younger people, but the rates today are still historically low. In the late 70s, I met an older highly successful entrepreneur. The interest rates were out of sight, and we were experiencing stagflation similar to now. His message to me was what goes around comes around and that we'd one day see 0% interest rates again. He proved to be prophetic.

I hope we don't have to have those high interest rates again, but what goes around comes around. We are fixed on a higher interest rate path now, but it didn't have to be this way:

-Inflation started with Biden's war of fossil fuels

-Fed govt doesn't believe govt spending increases inflation
-----$1.9 trillion unneeded covid spending
-----Fed unemployment ran too long
-----$450 billion semiconductors
-----$750 billion for inflationary and woke tax and spend
-----$500 billion student loan forgiveness

The look on Jerome Powell's face yesterday said it all. Biden's student loan forgiveness plan came after Powell had stated he would not let lower gas pump prices stand in the way of fighting inflation. This started with Powell when Biden summoned him to a White House meeting late in the spring in which he was told the fed reserve would be the inflation fighter. We now know that meant the Biden Administration was going to continue to spend like a drunken sailor on Saturday night shore leave.

I say this to reinforce that we are nowhere near the top of rising interest rates and that I stagflation is not near done running its course plus it is a long way down to the fed 2.0% inflation target. I'd be happy with anything between 2% and 3%. Again, I hope interest rates don't go back to Paul Volker levels, but what goes around comes around.

The worst news is that the fed reserve has never been put in a position like this to be raising interest rates in a recession. It's only going to make the economy worse, but the #1 job of the fed reserve is to keep inflation in check. They are behind schedule because it took too long before they acted originally believing inflation was transitory.

Chicago is hardly a cesspool. 27 US cities have a higher murder rate, most of of them in the south. Doesn't anyone in your family want the dirt on Miami Gardens? They're #12 with 23.62 murders per 100,000. FYI, the murder rate in NYC is 6.2 per 100,000, less than half the rate in Jacksonville.

Do you know what actually counting the number of murders committed means? Per capita is bullshit. It's how many coffins are going into the ground with actual murdered bodies in them that counts. Number 2 is so far behind Chicago that it is pathetic to pretend that Chicago is not the Murder Capitol of the US. Stay in the high-income neighborhoods and you just might not get murdered.

Gang and gun violence in Chicago is off the charts. With the stringent Illinois guns laws, why is that? Better yet, does anybody really care? Nobody in leadership is willing to do anything about it. Hey, just defund the police and pretend it isn't happening. That seems to be the plan.

Be foolish, give it your best shot. I could use a good laugh at your expense today.

In case you want to know who reported you for this post, I did. I would bet I am not the only one.
