Swamp Angel

It's a good sentiment and one we need to keep in mind, but I'm having difficulty with the unidentifiable enlisted rank of what I presume to be Corporal First Class on the right of the photo, and a flag with fifteen stripes on the casket. The cover devices are a bit difficult to identify as well.

There are plenty of high quality legitimate photos available for free use without resorting to AI prompts.

There's more than Vance and Rubio in the conservative arsenal. DeSantis wouldn't be a bad choice either.

As to your inclusion of Tulsi - that's a pretty moronic proposition at this point. (Or at any other point in the future that you may feel the need to post it again.)

Lane Kiffin/Ole Miss drama will end about as fast as the LSU/Saban drama when Saban was HC at Bama. It's gonna be a fact of life for the foreseeable future. You're just gonna have to get used to it. Just be glad you're on the other side of it this time.

Show me some pics o' dem fishies, man! :cheers:

When I see someone post:

I'd like to hear the logic behind this one

it comes to my mind that you must have great aspirations of becoming president of your HOA so you can create more useless rules and regulations for all your neighbors.

I have to admit that it does look suspicious on the cover. I wouldn't be opposed to a deep dive into it to ensure that the votes were 1) legal, and 2) properly allocated.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with investigating anomalies to ensure that there is no fraud in our elections. It should have been done in 2020 and there's no reason that it shouldn't be done today if the situation warrants and there is a hint of impropriety. The truth has no reason to hide and a thorough investigation would put to rest any charges of tampering to provide a false result.

The people who should care, jump to defend spending when it meets their goals

The thing that absolutely makes me ill when I hear a politician say it is, "I've done very well during my time in office by bringing federal dollars back to my district with these projects..."

I don't give a rat's sphincter about the federal funds he's "brought home." Those dollars were still taken out of MY pocket and about 99.8% of those projects that have "brought those federal dollars home" provide absolutely no personal benefit to me.

I'll be more excited when I hear my congressman say, "I am happy to report that we have eliminated the federal income tax and we will no longer be pilfering your paycheck before you even see it anymore."

We did absolutely fine as a nation for 125 years before the constitution was (illegally) amended to allow the federal government to tax the income of individual American citizens. The 16th Amendment needs to be repealed urgently and a 28th Amendment needs to be ratified that states that members of congress who are in office when the federal budget runs a deficit shall be held personally financially responsible for making up the difference.

The Left has been trying to start a civil war since the 1960s. They just haven't been able to get the opposition to bite yet and return fire to build into a full conflagration.

Any suggestions?

Regarding the IRS? Yes, a good many suggestions. Unfortunately I'd probably be arrested if I voiced any of them.

Lots of folks think we won the Cold War when the Soviet Union collapsed. What they haven't caught onto is the fact that we are still "stepping on mines" like this left in our government by the opposition during the height of the Cold War.
