If a citizen is living with an illegal alien that has committed a crime and/or has deportation orders then I would imagine you'd be at risk of being detained.

If you knew they were not supposed to be here, then you are complicit and should be charged with a crime also.

Is it the lack of vitamin D that drives them crazy?

I saw the video of the where the car runs into the ice agent. He shot her through the windshield.

What else was he supposed to do?

I took it, but not weak minded.

My mom was 90, and I thought it was worth risk to try to prevent giving her Covid (which I eventually did give to her 2 years later).

Also, I was in my 60s and considered high risk myself.

I figured it was good to be a guinea pig.

I never supported mandates or giving vaccines to young people (unless very high risk like on immunosuppressant drugs).

I had a bad reaction to 2nd shot, so stopped there. Then it came out they didn't really work.

I think you are wrong about Republicans.

For the record my husband is not really religious. I'm the religious one, but we are both MAGA!

My 30 year old daughter is disabled. She has a brain injury. I know lots of parents with disabled kids.

Helping disabled people is not something conservatives are known for.

I can't talk to liberals about the problems with education or services. They get too easily offended if you say there are problems in the public school system.

I know I can have a conversation with a Republican about the problems I see with helping really disabled people. (And I mean the really disabled like down syndrome, blind). Even if I mention that I think the govt should help the truly severely disabled.

A Republican might say that they don't think the govt should help, but they aren't going to call me names or shoot me down. They will listen to me.

I never did when I was a software engineer in the 80s and 90s working for a defense contractor in Silicon Valley.

I was even awarded as a top performer given to only 20 people out of 2000 at my company.

I liked working with men. I also just make friends easily.

By the way, my dad was the one who encouraged me to go into engineering because I was better at math than my brothers.


I've been surrounded by good men in my life: dad, brothers, husband, son, and countless friends

No. Needs to stay Daylight Savings all the time!

I don't even think it's that hard. It just means buying in bulk and cooking at home.

Sample breakfasts: eggs & hash browns, pancakes & eggs, cereal, oatmeal, maybe yogurt. ( Egg prices are down again)

Sample lunches: grilled cheese & tomato soup, peanut butter and jelly sandwich & an apple. Maybe luncheon meat sandwich. If it's bought in bulk.

Dinners: bean soup using a ham hock with corn bread, quinoa soup with frozen vegetables, chicken noodle soup. Even things like shepherds pie wouldn't be too bad if you get a lb of ground beef, tomato sauce, frozen veggies, instant mashed potatoes.

Bags of potatoes,apples and oranges are not too expensive. Bananas aren't too bad either.

Frozen vegetables come in bulk and are much cheaper than canned and taste better too.

Ramen, pasta, and rice can go a long way to feeding people.

Kids also get free lunches and lots of times breakfasts at school in addition to snap.

My daughter got a double degree in psychology and communications disorders with a 4.0. She was thinking of getting a masters in Speech therapy, but during Covid she decided to go back to school for computer science.

She got a great job at McKesson, but after a year they outsourced her whole department to India. They wanted her to train her replacement.

Then she decided to working an IT department at a large school district. They had never had layoffs in 20 years. Her whole department was laid off the following year

She then got a teaching certificate and taught computer science. She kept on getting sick, so she's not doing that.

She is fortunate that her husband has a stable mechanical engineering job, and she does not need to work.

She loves sewing! She has found out that sewing machine repair businesses are going away because the owners are retiring and there's no one to take over the business. She's thinking she may learn how to do that. She's been buying old sewing machines at estate sales and fixing them up. There's a two week program she's looking into.

My daughter is smart enough to get her PHd, and she is thinking of doing sewing machine repair.

My other daughter with a masters in data analytics is struggling too.

Trades or mechanical engineering seem to be the way to go. I've heard accounting isn't even great and AI will do away with that job soon.

It's a lot of women my age, 63. They used to be conservative. We weren't hippies. We were little kids in the 60s. I graduated high school in the 80s. We wore preppy clothes. We loved Reagan.

Now, they don't like Trump. I think they can't handle his language or New York personality.

I don't get how many "Christians" are pro LGTBQ stuff. Then they fall for the separating families with the immigration issues.

My husband says it's people who make decisions with their heart vs their mind.

I was an engineer,and I'm not a real touchy/feely person. I've always been real law and order type of person.

One of my closest friends is crazy liberal now. We were bridesmaids in each other's weddings. The other day she posted on Facebook saying RFK and the CDC were not recommending the MMR vaccine. She was furious!

I pointed out that they are recommending separating the MMR vaccine and the chicken pox vaccine because studies are saying that is safer with regard to side effects.

She is an engineer with a masters and very, very smart.

I'm so glad I didn't move to Texas after living in California. Dallas is just as liberal as California. I love my Arkansas friends. The women are great here!
