I grew up in Detroit. A friend of mine from high school was the director of a history museum in southern Maryland. He put together an exhibit about the Civil War and how it affected the county. He had to pitch it to the county board of governors for approval before he did anything. They all liked what he was doing,…

Keep hammering the point. No one is going to change the hard core base’s mind, but if you can get to those on the fence and remind them this is where the administration is heading, hopefully it will change.

I posted elsewhere, how long until one of these centers devolves into a Lord of the Flies scenario? What happens with the inevitable assaults? Who will be held accountable? All it takes is a couple burly kids and some inattention from the lowest bidder security force and we could have a situation that makes prison…

I saw Weird Al when I was in middle school and his “closing act” was The Monkees. I’ve always loved his music. My wife has absolutely no understanding of how I can like it, and I’ve gotten our two younger kids hooked. It drives her nuts.

I agree that when they were started, they needed that mentality. Henry Ford would have paid people in scrap and spare parts if he could have gotten away with it. But times have changed. Companies need an engaged workforce that is actively trying to make a better product than the competition, not looking to score…

This is how a federal prosecutor works. No leaks, no telegraphing, no mercy. Meuller is slowly rolling up the little fish to get to the big one. Most of the indictments we’ve seen before haven’t been someone who has a personal relationship with Trump. They were building the base. Now Meuller’s got someone who can…

I’ve been in management in both union and non-union shops for 20 years so you understand where my view comes from. I think unions are a good thing, but their hampered by two factors: 1. They still think they are fighting the Battle of the Overpass on a day to day basis 2. They haven’t adjusted their business model to…

Who was it that gave a speech to Goldman Sachs for $675k before running for president? I can’t seem to remember.

The Reesee’s Sunday is still the best. We found one in Gettysburg, PA and binged!

Back in my day when I worked there it was BW3 (Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck)!

A friend of mine lived in southern Arizona for a while and his land was over-run by illegal immigrants walking through. He was always going on about revoking citizenship of “anchor babies.” Once you can revoke the citizenship of someone who was born here for that “crime,” it’s a short hop for the gays, intellectuals,…

“Yes, this is authentic food. No fake food or soylent green here. Next question.”

I’m in my 40s and have been a Catholic most of my life. The most influential teacher I had was a gay man who was my english teacher in a Catholic High school. I won’t back any gender specific legislation unless I’d feel comfortable explaining my stance to him. That teacher got me out of my shell and made me the man I…

Conservative Catholic here, never Trump.

If my kids were behaving poorly, I’d let them know they weren’t acting like we expected them and needed to straighten up. If that didn’t work, I would tell them they had something on them and we needed to go to the bathroom so I could “dust them off.” Once we got into the bathroom by ourselves, I would go full drill…

Collusion is a bit different than that. If Trump declares he doesn’t want kneelers in the NFL, that’s one thing. The owners can all decide on their own not to hire Kaep/ Reed. If they all look at each other in a room and say “so, we’re not hiring these guys, right?” its another. It sounds like the witness has an email…

Flip the script. If people were calling for W to come in a “fix” what Obama had “broken” there would be howls of outrage. Obama is doing the same thing that W, Clinton, HW, Regan, and Carter all did before him - he’s letting the new guy find his way and set the agenda. Granted, except for Trumps core no one’s happy…

Hold on, in one paragraph you state the key indicator for violence is if they were themselves a victim of domestic violence or a perpetrator, then in the next paragraph you say we need to ban guns. If previous violence is the key, shouldn’t we address that? By setting up one line of reasoning, then switching to a…

This is why I dispute the “Greatest Generation” title. Yes they won WWII, but then they came home and gave birth to the Baby Boomers who destroyed the earth, voted themselves endless governmental programs, refuse to address social concerns like this, and flat out won’t leave office without the specter of death looming…

What about property left in a move? With every new house, I’ve always found something from the previous owner.
