    Freedom of speech at stake

    Sites like Facebook & Twitter have every right to decide what content is published on their sites. They can be as liberal or conservative as they choose. But Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act only applies to sites that aren't actively involved in publishing content. So they should...

    RBG passed

    I agree. In a perfect world, we would have no idea which way SC justices lean politically. All I really want is someone that will respect the constitution and interpret the law properly. I don't really care who appoints them.

    RBG passed

    Any attempt to pack the courts by Democrats will be challenged legally and ultimately end up before the SCOTUS. Good luck with that if conservatives hold a 6-3 majority.

    RBG passed

    I believe that they control 53 seats, so they might not need them.

    RBG passed

    All they need is a simple majority vote in the Senate. I'll be surprised if this doesn't happen.

    Is America today in line with the ideal of the founders?

    Things they would approve of: 1. The democratic process has survived. 2. The bill of rights has survived. Things they would disapprove of: 1. The federal government is big & bloated and they control just about every aspect of our lives. 2. The federal government spends more than they take in...

    Done with Pro Sports.

    The NBA's ratings this year have been the lowest since the 1970's.

    White House orders whitewashing of history

    From the memo: In the meantime, all agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on "critical race theory" "white privilege," or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an...

    If Lebron James didnt bounce a ball very well, would—-

    That phrase means different things to different people. Some want to see the police & prison systems completely defunded and abolished. Some want to see funding reduced and moved to other areas like mental health. I look at what the Camden, NJ police department as an example of what needs to be...

    If Lebron James didnt bounce a ball very well, would—-

    I absolutely agree with this. We need better training and we need to do a better job of psychological evaluation to remove the people that aren't fit for the job. There are too many idiots that are drawn to the profession due to the power it provides. Defunding the police would actually be...

    If Lebron James didnt bounce a ball very well, would—-

    I don't know if he's terrified of the police or not, but he shouldn't be. I don't think that I've ever seen someone shot by the police when they were complying with their orders. It's really sad to think of how many of these tragedies could be prevented if parents would simply teach their kids...

    If Lebron James didnt bounce a ball very well, would—-

    If Lebron didn't bounce a ball well, he would probably be playing tight end in the NFL. I disagree with a lot of his politics, but he's done a lot of good things. I'm not sure what he would be doing if he was unathletic, but I bet that he would be a solid contributor to society because he's a...

    Kenosha Shooting was self-defense

    If I'm interpreting this correctly, actively committing a crime doesn't nullify the entire self defense law. It just nullifies the (ar) portion of the law which addresses presumption that force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm during a break in. I don't believe that this...

    Representation without taxation

    I don't mind non-taxpayers voting, but I wish we had some sort of aptitude test. Surveys have shown that 2 out of every 3 people can't name the 3 branches of government. People shouldn't be allowed to vote if they don't even understand what they're voting for.

    Socialism

    I agree. I supported the initial round of stimulus because the government forced businesses to shut down for several weeks, but we have to stop printing money now. It's a natural occurrence for bad businesses to fail during an economic downturn. It's a culling of the herd that's healthy for the...

    One-fifth of all mail-in ballots disqualified in NYC primary, signaling possible November crisis

    There's a very real possibility that the election could be decided by which side of the aisle is better at filling out and mailing in their ballot properly. Mail-in voting is probably a necessary evil during a pandemic, but I expect this to be an epic disaster.

    Do you keep a credit card ? Or only a debit ?

    Most people have both. A debit card really isn't that big of a deal. It's something that most people add to a regular account to ease with payment. The primary thing you want to look for when you get a debit card is fraud protection. Mastercard debit cards have the same fraud protection as their...

    Do you keep a credit card ? Or only a debit ?

    It appears that my comment has created some confusion, so I'm going to attempt to clarify. Credit history and credit scores are very different things. Companies like FICO require recent credit history to calculate a score. You won't have a FICO credit score if a creditor hasn't reported to the...
