  1. I did a little checking and found the quote, thanks for sending it over. The man has changed the entirety of his business operation to crank out 50,000 masks per day when the message points over the last 30 days has been that people are dying because of a shortage of masks, people need to do more and corporate America must step up. He’s asked to speak at a press conference and chose to his thoughts on the world. He happens to believe what he believes, says what’s on his mind with no restrictions or limitations on who can use the masks, where he’s willing to ship them or anything other than “I. Will. Help.”. What he said about the school system and society in general is certainly true from his perspective, and it apparently bothers him enough to say so. Meanwhile, the #@$holes in the media line up to mock and lib insults because “the My Pillow guy” was called upon to give. “The My Pillow guy” went from crack addict to entrepreneur to a fabulously successful business that employs 1500 citizens. When called to step up, he stepped up and as near as I can tell, he credits his incredible success in life to his faith. There was definitely some inappropriate b$#@sh&t laid down, but it had nothing to do with Mike Lindell and his views on God and the Bible.
  2. “Pushing his religious views...”? What did he do? Serious question, I’ll search it but I’m struggling with what he could have down that was inappropriate?
  3. Saddle up with the Chinese government, hoss. Great call and it will age well.
  4. My goodness, he's losing the ability to read in real time? I give him credit here, he realized he was lost and making no sense and launched into "Look...the whole idea is...". Usually that punctuates a statement a speaker is trying to make when there is disagreement among parties. In this case, the disagreement was between Joe's original functioning brain and his current addled brain. He knows he wants to make a point, but halfway through the point he thinks about a Caterpillar morphing into a grape popsicle and the sundowner saloon having a new parking lot made of cotton candy. Sad, just sad.
  5. I had an interesting occurrence within the past 2 weeks. 20+ years ago, a friend of a friend had a child in need of life-saving surgery. The surgery involved a loved one donating part of her liver, a dangerous procedure but one she was willing to undergo. Back then, money was donated, the community rallied and all went well. I have had very little contact with that circle of friends in the past 20 years as my life changed, we moved and our own children were growing up. So, about 2 weeks ago, really out if the blue, I thought about the family and what an incredible story it was, how they got through it all and just wondered how the young man was doing. A few days after that, I found out he had tragically passed away around the time I thought of him. I hesitate to even include that part of the story because it sounds gratuitous, but it is what it is. Heartbreaking, the young man is roughly the same age as my daughter and that sort of thing really hits me as I get older. No idea beyond anything I just wrote, but I would say that if o had a thought, people can be closed off to that sort of thing, or open to it. I've had enough experience in my own life that causes me to to believe in something other than just coincidence, though that's possible as well.
  6. CNN journo wastes time on the “appreciated” comments again...causing a 6 or 7 minute conversation about absolute bs. Waste of time. Waste of energy. Precious time lost for the American people who might not give a sh$t if Nancy Pelosi appreciates anyone or not.
  7. Can’t ask for papers, gotta ask for papers, open borders, close borders...worried NYers can’t find sanctuary in Rhode Island.... Liberals...
  8. Bills SB when they win is not first? I have no interest in building a draft board, but I think it’s great that some guys enjoy the process as much as they clearly do. That said, it would be very cool to be in the draft room. It has it all, excitement, disappointment, and dare I say the art of the deal.
  9. Well God bless you my friend. We had the same issues with young kids hitting beaches and the like here in the US, and it certainly can be a problem. I was only in Sydney for about 9 days, my daughter had an internship and was there a few months. We all loved it, and the people were very nice.
  10. Hey Syd--quick question and please forvgive my ignorance. Seems to me when I was in Australia a couple years ago, it was a very popular place for tourists from China and other Asian countries. I can certainly check the internet, but how have you all been holding up in Sydney? Amazing place, hope you and yours are all well!
  11. careful sir. define crisis, and define it relative to the constitution, define it relative to 'experts', define it relative to the rights of the states v. the federal govt, and just to chill it all down a bit more, assume the party you support is not in power at Executive level, nor in the House or Senate. for example...climate change. or, if you please on the other side of the aisle, Trump anything.
  12. ? I had this typed and ready to go and thought, naaaaah.
  13. God and Fred Jackson work in mysterious ways.
  14. Delightful, this Clinton gal. I have to point out that the article also refers to “US GQ correspondent Julie Ioffe” making other negative comments. Between the coronavirus crisis and hard-hitting exposes on 7” tapers on slim fit Versace for men trousers, this chick is the Hillary Clinton of 18-30 year old urban men’s fashion.
  15. The point is simple. The leader of the free world is delivering the messaging points during a time of great crisis, and the job of a free and independent press is to transmit the message directly. That they would choose to withhold, instead reporting what they think you need to know, is telling. F 'em. Who needs them?
  16. They have chosen darkness instead of light during one of the most intense news cycles in history. That's newsworthy in and of itself. F 'em.
  17. "Sorry"????..that's the damn Crane Technique of message boards! You rat fink bot bast#rd!!! ?
  18. I didn't question your credibility, I just didn't know that you were self-quarantining against common sense and rational thought.
  19. I missed the second note where @manncmentioned his feelings about Trump and Russia. I don't understand why someone would feel as he does and still jump the fence to vote for him now given that perspective, but he clearly stated his position and you have to respect that. Sometimes on some issues, theres no common ground to be found.
  20. Still, NYC represents a big piece of the economic puzzle, jah feel?
  21. You said Cuomo is taking a wait and see approach. I wonder if, after taking a wait and see approach to a highly transmittable virus in/around one of the largest cities in the world, in retrospect he wishes he had been much more aggressive in his approach. Given that the state established a quarantine zone in a suburb a few miles away, and given that travel back and forth to/from New Rochelle and Westchester/Rockland/Putnam counties and NYC is a way of life for many, he regrets not being much more proactive in establishing a zone around NYC. Finally, I wonder if his decision was impacted by Mayor DiBlasio, his views, and the relative power over the voting block and city that he represents. Something as simple as "Andy, these are your people, many could tell you every streetside deli from Brooklyn to Bensonhurat but couldn't point to Buffalo on a map. You shut this city down and the "$#!! hits the fan and political fallout is massive".
  22. I wonder what Cuomo saw when he waited on NYC, while establishing a containment zone in New Rochelle just a few miles away? I'm uncertain if it was a revenue play, if DiBlasio has more juice locally, or a miscalculation in allowing the residents to keep doing their thing.
  23. Well, it appears we’d agree on nothing at all, but if you’re at the table come November, welcome. Better late than never. Thanks for the reply!
  24. Next time, just run with: "Good job Idaho, what you're doing is honorable." Signed, TBF Less words, more direct and no subtle commie bs. "See red"??? C'mon man!
  25. Interesting and thanks for sharing. Great to hear from the other side. Taking it one step further, in your previous anti-Trump life, did you have concerns about corruption in the government and it's officials, insider deals and if so, how did/would you have adjudicated the vote come November? This is no set up, nor am I assuming one way or the other, just you mentioned "conservative tendencies" and wanted to get your thoughts.
