    Bush-appointed judge slams GOP’s ‘spineless support’ of Trump

    I do not believe that Trump can win the election, but he can definitely win the GOP primary - the same way he did in 2016 - by bullying and lying. From the polls I have seen (on Youtube videos, I think), De Santis does better than Trump at winning in 2024, but Trump does better than De Santis at...

    2000 year-old 'Pizza' painting found in ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii

    You must mean 1500 years later - or you mean 500 years ago (from now). I agree that it is flatbread with toppings, and flatbread is very ancient and did not originate in Italy.

    America has the best food in the world

    I agree - the best food in America is ethnic food from other countries, and in this respect, the U.S. is more diverse than most other countries. Typical American food is mostly horrible, as it is too similar to British and German food. Fortunately for England and Germany, they are getting more...

    Are you transgender?

    What you said is definitely truer in Texas than it is in California with regard to emtions. Texas is a toxically macho state - at least it was when I grew up there - and I moved away as soon as I was able. While there is less emotional support for men in places like Texas, men still have many...

    [W:2270] Does a Gun Make Your Home Safer?

    My point is that you are not likely to win in a gun fight with an intruder. Intruders are not invading your house to kill you - they only want to take your valuables, but if you shoot at them, then they will be likely win in the gun fight and kill you because they are better prepared. The...

    [W:2270] Does a Gun Make Your Home Safer?

    If Breonna Taylor's boyfriend had not had a gun, she would probably be alive today. If you think that you are going to win a shootout with an intruder (such as the police), you are probably wrong.

    Texas Senate Bill Drops Teaching Requirement That Ku Klux Klan Is ‘Morally Wrong’

    I had a teacher in Jr High in Texas who told the class that he had participated in lynchings. I do not think that that was a good thing for children to hear, but it was part of history. The teacher was unapologetic about it and talked about it as if it were a good thing. I'm sure some people...

    Texas special session begins with 2nd attempt to revise state's election laws

    I think it is good to look at what the laws being proposed actually say. Here's a WP article on it. I was appalled at the last election, during which Houston had only two drop-off boxes for ballots. There need to be more drop-off boxes, not fewer. Also, the argument about passengers in cars...

    Couple buys Riverside dream home, but seller refuses to move out in eviction moratorium loophole

    We let the sellers stay in the home we bought in Los Angeles, and they paid rent as long as they stayed there.

    Is telling 5 year olds that they may be gay weird or not weird?

    If a five year old asks how babies are made, they should not be told that the stork delivers them. That's what I was told, and I resented being lied to by my parents. When children ask questions, it means that they are old enough to be given honest answers - no need to go into elaborate...

    How large a threat do you view China?

    I think that China is very dependent on the U.S. and Europe as markets, and so it is in the best interest of China that the U.S. and Europe have stable economies - so that they can continue to buy cheap Chinese products.

    What languages do you speak beside English?

    German grammar is not nearly as complicated as Russian. I first learned German, then French, Latin, Russian, Spanish, and Italian. I am reasonably fluent in German, Italian, and Spanish, in that order. I can read and write French easily, but my pronunciation is terrible and evidently offensive...

    Art teacher, 40, accused of having 'an ongoing sexual relationship' with teenage student she'd been hired to privately tutor

    There are plenty of 13 year old girls who would gladly have sex with an attractive male teacher who could be twice their age. It is just as wrong for one gender as it is for the other. There is no need to have a double standard in this case.

    Does Star Trek Offend You?

    Solving problems with violence This is what has bothered me about it the most from the beginning. It seems like they are still fighting WWII - just like Star Wars did, only Star Wars was even worse, although SW made no pretense about being anything other than another WWII movie. As for the...

    Afghanistan : Stay or Go ?

    Get the military out and replace it with Baptist missionaries, provided they can speak Pashto or Dari.
