Last Commented Opinionated Blogs (1,909)

When I joined CS, there were complaints about 'how good things used to be' with the old timers. During the 'newbie week' before I was allowed to blog, I went through old blogs. Lots of old blogs. There were episodes of gossip, biting and back stabbing back then... pretty much what all social media sites have to endure. Collectively, we are all in different age groups, have economic differences, language and cultural differences as CS's reach is global. In the right state of mind, it's a sharing of differences and ideas. In the wrong state of mind it's a separation.

Someone did a Facebook page where they clipped headshots of members showing them in less than positive settings. Obviously, those ORIGINAL members had sufficient issues then to prompt a tattle-tale page away from CS.

The site I was on before CS was a fun place to blog and though there were differences of opinion, we all got along. Loosely managed, the administrator couldn't keep up removing scammers and hackers, so he assigned the URL to another dating site and closed the place we called home. I received a text invitation from a friend to join CS. To my surprise many of the members from that site were here long before me and I knew there were complaints from a few of the older members, how they said the new wave was different and didn't fit in. As a group (regardless of personality) they/we were disliked. That was no secret and some were blatant to voice their dislike for members who weren't in their clique.

Over time, many of the original members have moved on, so have the ones from the other site. Remember Willy? Our friendship goes back many years and his escape from CS was an untimely death. We agreed to disagree on many levels, but I still miss him.

What I've found remaining from the original CS group are some venom filled complainers, especially one scornful gossiper from the Emerald Isle. You would think there would have been some acceptance for the second wave. Not true, she and one of her pals still hold a grudge and takes swipes at Americans (especially at me) regurgitating their dislike whenever they can.

Being friendly doesn't work.
Being funny, doesn't work either.
Ignoring them, doesn't work as they complain about that too. It seems battling with other bloggers gives them pleasure.
Saying nice things to other members is an invitation to get your head chopped off and others in the fray will piss on you and laugh.

Recently a member was booted out by administration, there must have been a reason. But, It doesn't matter how many people liked him, if what he said didn't agree with CS, they (management) chose to close his profile. I believe their decision is final. There have been instances where a few waited a while and returned with sock profiles. Maybe they are under the radar of administration or quietly given a second chance.
That to me is really not important... either way.

Claimed by one, I write boring blogs and clip news articles, much the same as others, although he contradicts himself by posting similar boring things.


In closing this blog, I hope the instigators of hate will come to their senses and act like responsible adults and not 'shallow thought' gossip mongers. CS history records itself as the blogs of those who cause a ruckus often disappear and worse, their profiles go silent too.

Are your proud of your actions here?
Be an asset to CS and not a liability.



In the words of Rodney King: "Can we all get along?"

Have a fantastic day and keep those blogs coming.

I received a letter this week from a law firm suing a car manufacturer about a vehicle I no longer own. It had to do with some defective safety equipment. If I recall, the last class action suit I signed and returned the form got me a check somewhere around $6.
Yeah... take that to the bank!
It's my opinion, but I could be wrong. I believe the people making money off of class action suits are the lawyers.

Donald Trump said the US election will be “liberation day” for his supporters and “judgement day” for his enemies in a high-octane speech ahead of winning the South Carolina primary.

The former president, 77, vowed his second term would mean “revenge” for his opponents as he promised to “fire” Joe Biden, 81.


In my opinion

Mad as a March hair



Crazy as a skunk



And as dangerous as a cornered rat

I call it Journalism. How about you, watt do you call eat?

It's pretty unmistakeable who the liar is....

With the government gangsters and the alphabet agencies along with a (so called)president that is Soo corrupt and in bed with China and a weak military. Trump was trying to build back up the military then ole uncle Joe comes right in and leaves all of our expensive military equipment for our enemies,hmm, now tell me is this for America or for our enemy. And then time and time again letting our enemies beat us and give them $$ to do it. Smells like COMMUNIST, SOCIALIST, MARXIST'S, FASCISM to me.Whoever can't see this or add up what the joe regime is cooking, don't want to or are themselves what I said in capital letters,PERIOD ! ??

You may think, how is it possible for a country to have a medical condition like a bleeding ulcer. Read on... we can talk about it.
In the 70's it seemed like many of my friends had a parent who had a bleeding ulcer and they complained profusely about it. Lots of them were smokers, heavy drinkers taking medicines and being on restricted diets, but that didn't work. Eventually, doctors figured out a combination of antibiotic and bismol that made ulcers go away. No ulcers... no complaints.

I did a blog last week about building a wall (across the Mexican border) to stop illegal immigration. This has been going on for decades. Yeah... decades. Lots of talk (read: complaints) but no action. Republicans continue to complain, many directly blaming Biden for the situation they faced before he became president.

Trump ran a campaign on building a wall to stop immigration but was unsuccessful in doing so. Why?

Conservatives didn't like Roe versus Wade and constantly complained about it. Trump installed a few conservative supreme court justices and eventually the law of the land had changed with Trump claiming credit. That essentially stopped the complainers about the issue of legal abortion. They got what they wanted... except they need to find something different to complain about and to use in their campaigns.

What we have now would appear to be a history first... Democratic president Joe Biden has been instrumental in getting a bi-partisan bill directly aimed at resolving the immigration problem. He's doing it without a wall. No catch & release, faster processing, ability to block illegal drugs from entering our country. This is not a small step in immigration reform. It's a giant leap.

House speaker Mike Johnson is killing the plan. It became obvious that approving a deal like this in an election year would be making Biden successful and taking away from Trump to use illegal immigration in his campaign. Essentially Mike doesn't want Biden to cure a bleeding ulcer.

All the news media realize it. The republicans have stopped the progress to literally end their complaints about immigration... because it's an issue that Trump needs to campaign on.

One of Trump's campaign promises for the 2016 election included replacing Obamacare with something that was much better and cheaper. He also said he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico and have Mexico pay for it.
If you remember in many of his rallies they chanted 'Build the wall, Build the wall' Remember?

He had 4 years to do it and with a Republican backed congress and didn't.

So now, Joe Biden in his last year of the 2020 presidency is attempting to get a bi-partisan effort to approve funding to block illegal immigration across the US & Mexican border.

While this is happening, House Republicans vote to advance effort to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Secretary Mayorkas claiming that Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors for his handling of the southern border.

Mayorkas stated that “the problems with our broken and outdated immigration system are not new” and called on Congress to help provide a legislative solution to the “historically divisive issue.” He praised the bipartisan group of senators he has worked with for its willingness to put their differences aside to try to find solutions at the border.

So while Biden himself has announced they are working on a plan, I'm seeing stories that congress is actually working against him. Why?
Because Trump told them to kill the deal.

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson was asked if he spoke to Trump about it and he said no. (1:08 seconds into the video) then he stated he has talked to Trump (1:33 seconds into the video) and that's a direct contradiction. Some people would call him a liar.

What we see here is Trump manipulating Republican lawmakers not to approve a bi-partisan effort regarding securing the border.




Now, Trump is in the news as it appears to be, 'don't build the wall' as I need 'build the wall' as part of my 2024 campaign.

No, I didn't say that... but his actions did.

Former President Trump, the current GOP front-runner who has railed against the bipartisan border deal for weeks, denied the idea of trying to block President Biden, his likely rival in the 2024 election, from achieving a legislative win by passing the bill.

Another case of Links, kinks and political stinks...

A.) He lies. A LOT. Politifact rates 70% of the words he speaks as “Mostly False or worse” Only 14% of the things he says get a “Mostly True” or better rating. That is an absolutely unbelievable number. How he doesn’t speak more truth by mistake is beyond me. To put it in context, Obama’s rating was 26% mostly false or worse, and I had a problem with that. Many of Trump’s former business associates report that he has always been a compulsive liar, but now he’s the President of the United States, and that’s a problem. And this man expects you to believe him when he points at other people and says “They’re lying.”

B.) He’s an authoritarian populist, not a conservative. He advances regressive social policy while proposing to expand federal spending and federalist authority over states, both of which conservatives are supposed to hate.

C.) He pretends at Christianity to court the Religious Right but fails to live anything resembling a Christ-like life. 1 Corinthians 5:11

D.) His nationalist “America First” message effectively alienates us and removes us from our place as leaders in the international community.

E.) His ideas on “keeping us safe” are all thinly veiled ideas to remove our freedoms—he is, after all, an authoritarian first. They also are simply bad ideas.

F.) He couldn’t pass a 3rd-grade civics exam. He doesn't know what he’s doing. He doesn't understand how international relations work, he doesn’t understand how federal state or local governments work, and every time someone tries to “run it like a business” it’s a spectacular failure. See Colorado Springs’ recent history as an example. The Short, Unhappy Life of a Libertarian Paradise And that was a businessman with a MUCH better business track record than Trump. We are talking about a man who lost money owning a freaking gambling casino.

G.) He behaves unethically and always has. As a businessman, he constantly left in his wake unpaid contractors and invoices, litigation, broken promises, whatever he could get away with.

H.) He is damaging our relationships with our best international friends while kissing up to nations that do not have our best interests in mind. To his question “Wouldn't it be great to have better relations with Russia?” The answer is Yes. But it is RUSSIA who needs to earn that, who must stop doing the things that are damaging to that relationship, or we are simply weaker for it.

I.) He has never seen a shortcut he didn't like, and you can’t take shortcuts in government. “Nuclear Option, Remove the Filibuster, I’ll change the Constitution by Executive Order…” Don…what happens when you remove the filibuster and the other side retakes the majority in the Senate? Suddenly want that filibuster back? What happens if you manage to change the Constitution by Executive Order and an anti-2A president wins the next election?

J.) He behaves and has always behaved as an unabashed racist. Yes, I’ve seen your favourite meme that claims he was never accused of racism before the Democrats…Absolutely false. Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2019 See the Central Park 5, the lawsuits and fines resulting from his refusal to lease to black tenants, the 1992 lost appeal trying to overturn penalties for removing black dealers from tables, his remarks to the house Native American affairs subcommittee in 1993. The man sees and treats racial groups of people as monoliths.

K.) He is systematically steamrolling regulations specifically designed to keep a disaster like the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis from happening again.

L.) He speaks and acts like a demagogue. He sees the Legislative and Judicial branches of government as inconveniences, blows up at criticism no matter how deserved and actively tries to countermand constitutional processes, not to mention attempts to blackmail and coerce people who are saying negative things about him.
