You still havent provided a coherent answer on why a 50yr mortgage is any worse than a 30yr

A lot of people are able to retire when their house gets paid off. This just seems like you’re renting from a bank, but you’re still responsible for all the upkeep.
The medical industry charges insane fees, perhaps it’s because of non-insured people stiffing them on bills, I’m not sure. But for example, my son had an abscess on the back of his throat. Urgent care sent him to the ER, they lanced it that night and he spent an additional night for observation due to running a fever. The bill was 38k, and that’s ridiculous.
What a stupid question. She has good genes because she is hot, everyone knows it, that’s why she gets paid. Halle Berry has good genes too.

Horrible choice, his opinions on topics are like a weather vane, they change directions all the time to follow the latest trends. Totally untrustworthy.

List all the price increases caused by tariffs on consumer goods and by the way I thought you were “America First”? It’s kind of hard to get there without tariffs

In the book industry a major player in the equipment space is passing on 39% tariffs. If you don’t think that is going to cause a rise in book prices you are naive. This is just one example in a business that I’m familiar with, I could name several others that affect that one consumer product.

Now I was willing to see where this whole tariff thing went, still am to a degree; however, it should be surgical by industry, what we are doing now feels clumsy and not very effective.
So, the Democrat playbook is to defend foreign drug cartels? Why do they think that is a winning move?

Joshua 2?

Maybe… It just seems like there’s no clear point of origin. No one knows who launched it, and the foreign countries are reacting to our posturing, not to an actual ICBM heading for Chicago. We see the intercept missiles launch, but never the missile itself or the impact. The only thing shown is the computerized defense tracking screen. It felt very much like WarGames, which made me wonder at the end if the missile ever existed at all or if it was just a computer aberration.

Make America Great Again? Jesus, dude, you Zionist war hawk neocons really are way over your skis in this discussion these days. You sound ignorant to this entire topic.

I think there’s been a misunderstanding of my position. It’s straightforward: if we’re going to provide financial aid to other countries, I would prefer it go to non-Islamic countries to counter the spread of Islam. That said, I have no objection to completely cutting foreign aid; it would actually be my preference.

If we choose to withdraw, I’ll support that decision and accept its consequences. My belief is it’s our relationship with Israel that’s holding them back from them totally eliminating the Palestinians, and if we severed that relationship, Israel would marched in to Gaza and completely conquered it. At that point, Tucker and Fuentes will be arguing for us to stop them. It’s my belief they’re not anti-interventionist, they’re anti-Israel.
At least show the impact, or let us know it was a computer hack/glitch and there was no missile. That is the clever point though says Hollywood :banghead: what a waste of time.
quote:

Complete straw man as to why we subsidize Israel.

But people aren’t losing their minds about us subsidizing half the world, only Israel. I won’t argue about ending all foreign aid, but the idea that we cut Israel off and continue to pump billions in aid to all the Islamic countries around them is dumb.If we are going to give aid I’d rather it go to Christian, Jewish, or secular societies that promote similar beliefs as us.
quote:

We have replaced Israel with America. Aren't we fully subsidizing a country in the desert that is small, irrelevant and has no resources?

We are subsidizing a lot of countries, some of which most people wouldn’t even consider as our ally. The resource is they are the only country in the area (And we love being in that area) that isn’t controlled by Islam.
quote:

There's a marked and prominent difference between supporting the people of Israel as opposed to unquestionably supporting what appears to be a warmongering and wholly secular Israeli government.

Replace Israel with America, and tell me how much you hate the United States. All I see is a bunch of hypocrites in America, because if that happened to us we would have done the same, and these people would have supported it, how do I know? Because I’ve already watched that movie it was called 9-11.

Anyone want to buy the Brown Door for $15?

The state suspended their license, so the city couldn’t renew it now even if they wanted to.

I imagine this will get fixed in November before it becomes an issue. But still it’s is incompetence by the council.

My main issue is, he has to realize how bad he has screwed coach and daughter. He will eventually get found out at some point, no matter what he said last episode, and even if he does well and they win a championship, it will all get taken away and he will be a worse villain than he ever was before.

It won’t get taken away as long as Russ has eligibility. That hasn’t been brought up either way so far.

I’m not sure what people are expecting, it’s a local version of White Castle. It’s actually pretty good for what it is, but some folks act like they’re supposed to be getting handcrafted mini burgers piled high with toppings or something. I honestly don’t get it, especially since that’s not at all what they claim to be.
That’s a very small number in the scheme of things.
This is the show I look forward to seeing every week.
As long as she’s not on steroids or dieted down to an unhealthy body fat level, a woman who works out tends to look great. For being over 60, she’s probably in the top 1% for her age in her area.

I’m happy with Five Guys, it’s consistent, I can get it exactly how I like, the fries are solid, and there’s usually one nearby. Maybe I’m just not a burger aficionado, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a burger that felt worth going out of my way for. :dunno:
