I can't wait to not see any of it.

Earned because she worked for it herself and overcame some huge barriers. Let's not forget what happened when she won her first Grammy. She stuck it out and built up her brand, her way. That takes incredible dedication and willpower. Now she is doing a 3 hour nonstop huge stadium show around the world while maintaining a high profile relationship with Travis Kelce. Yeah, she earned it.

Very easy to ignore all the ads. I tune them out completely.

Most Billionaires don't earn their wealth. Taylor Swift has earned her wealth.

U.S. occupation of Venezuela coming soon. All that oil just waiting to be exploited. /s

With tax crimes you rarely see anyone have more than a fine, especially when they have already paid what they owe. More than likely he will be charged with a misdemeanor, be fined $25,000, and released.

So a small fine.

Do you also believe that fracking is clean and safe?

I see you're buying into the corporate propaganda. Guess who paid for "studies" to clear power companies from liability.

Here are a few of the conclusions from studies that have discovered a strong link between proximity to power lines and health problems:

Cancer: Exposure to power lines has been connected to cancer. Brain cancer is the most common type, but associations with breast cancer and leukemia have also been claimed;

Tumors: Some studies have shown associations between brain and other cancerous tumors and exposure to power lines.

Miscarriages;

Increased susceptibility to illnesses such as cancer;

Depression;

Electric shock;

Electrocution.

The Cancer Zone, avoid electrical easements.

Awaiting a Congressional committee to investigate this as precedent is to look into family members accused of criminal acts.

Hey Congress, the Israeli Government sucks and not all Palestinians are bad people.

Alt+F4 automatically closes any programs wasting your time.

Russia hasn't gained any ground in over a year. They have lost their airpower. The Black Sea Fleet is heavily damaged and a good chunk has been sunk. On top of that, they have lost 5,618 tanks, 10,482 Amored vehicles, 8,045 artillery systems, 919 MLRS, 605 Anti-air systems, 324 airplanes, and another 324 Helicopters, 6,116 UAVs, 1,571 cruse missiles destroyed, 22 ships, 1 submarine, 10,561 vehicles, 1156 special equipment systems, and 336,230 personnel.

Ukraine isn't losing right now, not by a long shot.

To an uneducated moron, Alex Jones makes a lot of sense. To anyone with a bare minimum concept of the world, he doesn't.

Trump proclaiming he will be a Dictator is not the winning message he thinks it is. The Foundling Father's actually documented what should occur if someone declares themselves a King.

Thomas Paine galvanized the American public with the thought that full independence from Britain was possible. It marked an important intellectual phase of the movement when many individuals in the North American colonies began to think that there were two alternatives that were now possible: an alternative to British rule and an alternative to rule by a single man.

In these passages Paine worries about a newly independent America reverting to a monarchy. Paine thought an agitator like Massanello might prey on discontent to to take over the government and declare himself king. Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Robert Livingston (December 1800), worried in a similar fashion that republicanism in America was only skin deep and that there lurked a monarchie masquée (hidden monarchy) just below the surface. It should be remembered that there were some who thought George Washington should have been a monarch not a president in the new American nation. In Paine’s strict republican view if there were to be “king” it would have to be the rule of law not that of a single man. Furthermore, if a day of celebration were to be set aside then homage should be paid to the law (the “Charter”), a crown set upon it to remind those gathered that “the law is king”, and at the end of the ceremony the crown should be smashed and scattered among the people as a reminder that the notion of kingship is a dangerous thing in a free republic.

Common Sense (1776)

Thomas Paine reminded the American colonists that in a free republic “ the law is king” and that if a day were to be set aside to celebrate the republic’s achievements then it should not be focused on a single man but on the law itself:

But where, say some, is the King of America? I’ll tell you, friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Great Britain. Yet that we may not appear to be defective even in earthly honours, let a day be solemnly set apart for proclaiming the Charter; let it be brought forth placed on the Divine Law, the Word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other. But lest any ill use should afterwards arise, let the Crown at the conclusion of the ceremony be demolished, and scattered among the people whose right it is.

A government of our own is our natural right: and when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance. If we omit it now, some Massanello may hereafter arise [Note: Thomas Anello, otherwise Massanello, a fisherman of Naples, who after spiriting up his countrymen in the public market place, against the oppression of the Spaniards, to whom the place was then subject, prompted them to revolt, and in the space of a day became King], who, laying hold of popular disquietudes, may collect together the desperate and the discontented, and by assuming to themselves the powers of government, finally sweep away the liberties of the Continent like a deluge.

Ding, they added magazines

Palestinians are extremely right wing though. It doesn't fit. Israel is left wing compared to them.

I always notice what isn't being reported.

Parents or older siblings that are too lazy to take off the magnets when their child isn't driving. Very common in Colorado.
