I make it a point to keep quiet and also avoid arguments more these days because....

I often wonder if Florida governor Ron DeSantis is the antichrist as he's back to doing things that boxed him into issues that were unpopular with Florida voters.

The son of Immigrants, he rages against immigrants and once misappropriated funds to bus some illegals across Texas state line and drop them off at Martha's Vineyard with no approval or jurisdiction to do so.
He's anti-Disney, anti-gay, anti-woke, anti-books and now it's reported he's reaching out to send the Florida National Guard to guard the Mexico border.


C'mon Ron... pay attention to Florida, the state where you were elected to serve.

So, ladies. What do you think is a better date, sitting on the guard rail watching cars or grocery shopping?

I will get this flirting thing yet

Big news topic this month are the dollars pouring out of supporters wallets and into the hands of Donald Trump. I read that while the money was intended as campaign donations, the bigger portion is being used to pay his legal fees. Reported yesterday, that number has exceeded $50 million and expected to go higher.

Alina Habba wasn't good representing him for the E.Jean Carroll case, the jury awarded
Carroll $83 million and Trump is seeking a new legal team to represent him for the appeal.

Hotelier Robert Bigelow stated that a few weeks ago, gave Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump $1 million for his legal fees.









As a kid, we used to enjoy caramel-coated popcorn that came in a box, sold under the name of Cracker Jack. The lure was a prize inside. It didn't take long to figure out the prize was at the bottom of the box, so all you have to do was turn it upside-down, open the package and get your prize. Usually it was some worthless plastic (fits all) ring that got tossed aside, leaving you with a box of popcorn.





My thought here is when will Republicans come to the realization that all that sugar is on puffed up corn with a useless prize. Like Herpes, is this the gift that keeps on giving?

A few years ago was my first experience of management having cameras installed in their business. One at the front door to the showroom, one at the back door of shipping/loading and a few around the office that included work stations to cover design department, sales and production staff.

Maybe it's important to see who enters the building or what materials leave the warehouse, but I always thought there was a high level of paranoia to constantly observe what the workers are doing... possibly to include suspicion the staff were conspiring against the boss.

Take for example, when 2 people had a meeting, the boss 'mysteriously' appeared to listen in on their conversation. That happened often.

Some places a video is needed, like the one where airport security spotted an agent removing cash from a travelers wallet passing through the scanner BEFORE it hit the camera. Why before? Should the traveler declare the money was stolen, the replay of the video would show an empty wallet. If the money was taken after the scan, money would have been inside the wallet, incriminating evidence to the security worker.

So my thought today is: Do people act differently knowing there's a camera recording their movements?

When Trump becomes POTUS later this year he will have a phenomenal task ahead one that is even bigger than when he takes up the reigns from Barack Obama.
The absolute mess made by Biden and his corrupt band handlers is a challenge only a man like Trump can accept, conquer and repair.

Fortunately he has overwhelming support from good solid Americans that still have good moral values, integrity and self respect.
Acting with integrity means understanding, accepting, and choosing to live in accordance with one's principles, which will include honesty, fairness, and decency. A person of integrity will consistently demonstrate good character by being free of corruption and hypocrisy.
Like he said the biggest deportation of illegals will take place as soon as he takes office.
Defusing the wars and all the ill will Biden has caused in the past 4 years will be a miracle in itself but the world knows that this brilliant businessman and leader who was persecuted by MSM and the democrats, for years, will have the strength and will-power to do this task.
VIVA TRUMP




Enough is enough take a break.

Just a friendly warning, WANKERS not welcome

MYTH: The COVID vaccines were not rigorously tested, which is why they have only emergency authorization approval and not full Food and Drug Administration approval. (Update: Pfizer’s vaccine received full FDA approval on August 19)

FACT: “Vaccine developers didn’t skip any testing steps, but conducted some of the steps on an overlapping schedule to gather data faster.”—Johns Hopkins Medicine
Assoumou: This is the most common question I get asked. I think there is a perception that things moved very fast, but we want to underscore that the technology being used now was being studied for a decade. The main difference between emergency use versus full FDA approval is that you need two months of monitoring rather than six months. When you look at the history of vaccines, if patients were to develop side effects, these occurred within two months. We are now over six months into our experience with these vaccines. We have not seen anything that would make us believe that the risks outweigh the benefits. And vaccines have saved so many lives.

Hamer: The development was more rapid than many other vaccines. But it used the same process of phase one and phase two trials following appropriate safety measures. Stage three trials were large-scale trials done rigorously with very clear outcome definitions. The safety measures and approaches taken are standard for clinical trials. They just did it more rapidly than usual. The full process review is ongoing and we are already hearing that Pfizer will have full FDA authorization by September and Moderna soon after.

MYTH: The technology used to create the COVID vaccines is too new to be safe.

FACT: The technology used, called messenger RNA, or mRNA, is not new. Research on it actually began in the early 1990s, and two diseases that are very close to COVID—SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in 2003, and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome)—helped bring the mRNA vaccine development to present day use.—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Understanding mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines
Assoumou: The reason this is called SARS-COV-2 is that there was a SARS-1, the original one, and scientists were working on this vaccine. So when this pandemic arrived they had already developed a lot of the science. A decade of work was actually going on. That’s one issue I like to emphasize when people think it was rushed.

The other point I like to remind people is that these vaccines went through all the regulatory steps like any other vaccines. None of this was rushed. The FDA reviewed all the data. When you say “Emergency use,” people think it was rushed, but the way to think about it is that the benefits outweigh the risks.

MYTH: Breakthrough cases prove that even if I get the vaccine, I might still get COVID. So why bother?

FACT: As of August 9, the CDC said there had been 8,054 vaccinated people who were hospitalized or died who had also tested positive for coronavirus—out of more than 166 million fully vaccinated Americans. That’s roughly .005 percent. Additionally, CDC director Rochelle Walensky has said that 99.5 percent of all deaths from COVID-19 are in the unvaccinated.—Politifact, Fact Checking Joe Biden’s Figure on Unvaccinated COVID-19 Deaths
Hamer: COVID vaccines have been shown to be very powerful in preventing more severe disease and the need for hospitalization. Breakthroughs occur at a much, much lower rate than in people who are unvaccinated. The breakthroughs have been occurring more frequently with the Delta variant because of the high level of infectiousness (or transmissibility) of the Delta variant and lower protection of current vaccines against this variant. But people having breakthroughs have much more mild infection, more like an upper respiratory infection. The vaccines prevent severe disease and complications and allow people to return to a more normal state.

How many of you on here have experienced fake profiles in any form ?

Or been led on by a fake ?

Or met a scammer ?

I need to know.

Please tell me how did they act it all out until you found out ?

I did not know time wasters on here.

Last week here in Ireland a single unmarried man was granted a widowers pension ...
all I could think was WTF
doesn't anything hold up anymore these days, or is this societies way to discredit marriage, with the hope maybe to abolish it

When Johnny met the love of his life, for whatever reason they never married, had three lovely children, shared a mortgage.. in total they were cohabiting 20yrs together.
Unfortunately 2018/19 she developed breast cancer, that's when after nearly 18yrs living together they decided to get married, unfortunately though in December 2019 she developed Covid and shortly afterwards died resulting in they never got married.

He thinking he had the right, applied for the widowers pension grant, when he was refused he took it to the supreme court and won.

Not that I'm without sympathy for the man and his loss, but in my books that's not right at all. When he wasn't married he was not entitled to it, simple as, end of

what's anyone's opinion on this???

Johnny is a very clever man is what I think.
