re: For the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old isn't doing as well their parent
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/24/24 at 1:50 pm
A significant reason this may be so is that the 30 year old’s parents generally have done so well. The bar is set much higher than it was when the boomers were seeking to exceed the level of prosperity enjoyed by their Depression-era parents. ...

re: WTH was that last play?
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/21/24 at 11:37 pm
I’m not sure that the play was for CJ to go one on one. But that’s what we got after he lost the ball. Painful...
re: Why would anyone try to save the burning man on fire?
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/19/24 at 5:25 pm
Because they, the ones trying to save him, are human beings. ...

re: Well there it is... Blinken: Ukraine will become NATO member

"Now answer this question, why did he roll the tanks?"
Because he has long called the breakup of the Soviet Union a catastrophe and, given Western fecklessness, he figured he could get away it as he did in Crimea. ...
re: Abortion - State’s Right
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/8/24 at 10:09 am
Of course, the Democrats will say that a woman's right to choose should be the same, regardless of "ZIP code or what state she lives in." I heard that just this morning from a Democratic legislator (Va., I think). But what's tough politically for Democrats is that the issue will resonate most with w...
re: Well there it is... Blinken: Ukraine will become NATO member
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/4/24 at 3:12 pm
Putin is the one who rolled the tanks, so yes that makes him the aggressor. No wonder his neighbors want the protection of NATO membership. ...
re: Here’s Why We Must Stop Telling Black Women They Have ‘Imposter Syndrome’
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/2/24 at 1:51 pm
I reckon I’m safe because, not knowing of this “syndrome,” I’ve never accused anyone of being afflicted by it. ...
re: Why was it necessary for the Left to cross the Rubicon from live and let live?
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 4/1/24 at 10:48 am
The best guess I have is the decline of “left libertarianism”—basically your live and let live group—being replaced by a relatively small but devoted and powerful progressive core. Progressives have always sought to control others through the exercise of government power because they know better. To...
re: Where Has Our AD and the Rest of the Woke LSU Administration Been During This Episode?
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/31/24 at 12:33 pm
One of the absolute best things about Woodward is that you DON’T hear from him all the time. No sniveling apologies and open letters if the student section chants a bad word, no groveling to the press or knighting for a coach at the first sign of discontent. Instead, he hires the coaches, stacks the...
re: Federal Judge -"there is no Republican Party"
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/28/24 at 9:44 am
"You cats demonized every single one."
This cannot be emphasized enough. Both Bushes were demonized, as well, and even Romney was painted as a racist who was terrible to women and dogs. The vast majority of our media are little more than publicity flacks for the Democratic Party. I very much wish...

"Its the social problem that keeps reproducing. The disease keeps getting passed down.
Whatever were doing doesnt seem to be working."
This causes me to believe that the issue is largely genetic, which means that it would be very difficult to eradicate unless there was a specific gene (rather ...

My recollection is that it must first go to NY’s high court, which they call the Court of Appeals (or something like that) instead of “Supreme Court.” ...
re: China is currently not an economic threat and is imploding internally.
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/20/24 at 9:54 am
"I've been promoting freedom and smaller government consistently since 2005. Nothing has changed."
I have been around a while, too. Didn't you have a leftist bent for a minute? (Not taking a shot; I just seem to remember you shifting from more left-leaning/government-interventionist to, I guess,...
re: China is currently not an economic threat and is imploding internally.
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/20/24 at 9:50 am
China has some serious problems, including a longterm demographics problem that I don't think is fixable. With that said, this could make China more dangerous in terms of military aggression. ...

"This excites Moderates and Progressives."
I wouldn't be so sure. It obviously excites the progs, but I could be considered a moderate (although Trump-loathing conservative is probably more accurate). The selective prosecutions cause me to be much likelier to vote for Trump. ...
re: How does Trump’s half billon dollar bond in NY not violate the 8th amendment?
Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/19/24 at 4:19 pm
"I'm not sure it's a violation of the 8th amendment but I admittedly haven't looked into it."
I did a quick search on civil penalties and the 8th Amendment, and it looks like it can get pretty involved and that at least in some cases, governmental entities have gotten away with some significant p...

Posted by N.O. via West-Cal on 3/19/24 at 2:59 pm
“This is an interesting argument, especially since there is no constitutional right to vote but there is a constitutional right to bear arms.“
This is false. The Constitution guarantees a republican form of government, which implies voting, and the 26th Amendment guarantees that the right to vote...
