Insurance scam playing out in front of our eyes?


Mamdami stated he has plans to use unoccupied building space to house "homeless" at the expense of the building owners, so I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that this was insurance fraud.

The first major hurricane to strike New Orleans since 1915 made landfall southeast of New Orleans in September 1947


Dad used to talk about that one. He said he was rather excited to begin his freshman year at LSU, but was frustrated because it was delayed by one day thanks to that hurricane.

Why are the desk drawers facing the camera?


Because every one of those commie bastards realize that they have no authority sitting on the authority side of any desk. They are where they belong in this situation - they side of the desk reserved for those to whom it doesn't belong.

God bless the beautiful land we inhabit with all its life forms from the smallest ant to the giant redwood,


Except them durned little chiggers! A pox on those little nasty critters!

Apart from that...

God bless America, and may our nation strive to honor Him.

Thanks for the sentiment! :usa:

What if Biden or Harris were in charge...


If either one of them were president today, we'd be watching an apology for stealing native land and for being the only nation in the world to have slavery. The Democrat party of today is NOT what the Democrat party was in 1976 when they loved the country as much as President Ford and the Republicans.
Neat story about your dad! Neat photo of that B-26 as well!

Okay... Apparently you have to be a LEO, but it must be a good idea since it has the Libs in a tizzy.

Idaho Allows Volunteer Firing Squads
I like to keep at least $200k in my checking account. Unfortunately, I haven't even come close to doing that yet.

First off, those of us that can sing, have no trouble with the Star Spangled Banner.


I agree wholeheartedly! But with that said, it seems like every time some celeb sings the national anthem prior to any event, they butcher the living dog-shi+ out of the "...la-and of the freee-EEEEEEeEeEeeeEEEEE..." part and it makes me want to go to war on their arse!

A girl I work with just got back from Japan and she said there were Trump posters everywhere. I was in D.C. recently and there were none there.


I was in DC a few tomes for work during the Obummer years. There was Obama stuff freaking ERRYWHERE! Couldn't even enjoy the shops at the Smithsonian without Obama crap in damned near every aisle and on every endcap.

This is all you need to know to figure out our nation's capital.
In Pennsylvania a red, white, and blue suit is inappropriate on the house floor of the state legislature. Meanwhile, in the US Senate, it is completely acceptable for a senator from PA to wear sweat pants and a hoodie in the Senate chambers.

Can we just snatch the Dems off the floor and place them between a firing squad and a concrete wall now?
Hmmmm... I don't believe there are any cruise ships that sail under the US flag. That should mean that the child is either a citizen of the same nation as his parents, or a citizen of the nation under whose flag the cruise ship was sailing.
It didn't start in 2012. Take a gander at who we ran against Clinton in 1996. If you ever had any doubt about a uniparty, the Republican nominees for 1996 and 2012 should help you make up your mind.
Been waitin' for her to show up here. Thank you very, very much!

I would go down and hold onto the bottom of the ladder to keep me from floating to the surface.


That is exactly how I use to do it.
After hyperventilating and then completely relaxing, my best time is 4:51. I had extra inspiration to stay underwater since there was a married couple at the pool trying to talk me into joining Amway. I was going to stay under until they left or I drowned. (Fortunately, they left before I died. I guess they got the hint.)

I remember not having AC in our classrooms at school when I was small. Teachers opened the windows. We did eventually get them though


The first school I ever attended that had AC was LSU. None of our schools in our public school district in Kentucky had it. We opened the windows and let the fan blow.

Allow me to add that while LSU was the first school I attended that had AC, I lived in South Stadium dorms my freshman year and Pentagon thereafter. Neither of the dorms had AC and those rooms would get brutally hot in the afternoons!

I think we can no longer ignore the fact women in the 1940s were more feminine, elegant, and beautiful than women of today.


To be honest, the women of the paleolithic era were more feminine than many of the women of today!
Oddly enough, the "Do Not Call" legislation specifically excluded political calls and texts. (Imagine that!)

Of course, it's not like the "Do Not Call" list ever worked worth a flying F.
