Offering all the help in the world doesn't do any good for those unwilling to take it. The article ArmyJudge posted mentions that Josh had that problem, too: he refused offered help from his family. A significant part of the homeless population falls into that category. Many of those who refuse...

Trump wasn't at his best, certainly. For me leading up to the debate there was a question of which version of Trump would show up for the debate and the one we got in the debate was the one that is gloomy regarding the state of the nation, who tended to wander off-topic and that reacted poorly...

I get the spirit in which you said that, but that's something we of course wouldn't want to occur. Everyone would end up paying for that, whether in a blue or red state. IMO one of the most challenging problems for our national politicians is that the needs of urban areas and rural areas are...

Nice article on the subject. Unfortunately where I live now few men even own a suit, much less wear one except maybe to a funeral. About the only men I see wearing one are lawyers going to court and some of the older bankers and financial advisors. I wear one fairly frequently because tax...

And as you correctly pointed out, there was no rule in the Constitution at the time preventing him from doing it. There were reasons for the tradition, which is why the Constitution was amended after Roosevelt died to elevate that tradition to a Constitutional requirement. Whatever you think of...

It did? Exactly which ones and what did they do? And are you sure the Trump was himself always faithful to the Constitution during his administration? Specifically which order of the Court do you claim it violated? Or is just your opinion that the administration didn't following a holding of...

It appears that insult is the only real form of debate you know. There is a huge difference between the Russian government and the way it does elections and how things function in the U.S. Nothing that either party has proposed comes anywhere close to that. If you took off your partisan...

I completely agree with that.

While Putin does emphasize the Russian Orthodox Church, Russia is in no way a real democracy. Not even close. Putin and his party have installed rules that ensure he will never face a candidate that might actually pose a challenge. In addition to that, Russia trumps up made up charges against...

At least as things stand now, I do agree with you on that. That's why I said that those who say either candidate will destroy this country are engaging in fear mongering. They'd need, at the very least, a Congress to enact their anti democratic policies and regardless of whether Trump or Harris...

LOL. There you go again attacking me. You have heard the saying that insulting your opponent is the clearest sign that you've run out of substantive arguments, right? The idea behind the founding of this country was NOT for the public to be all like minded blindly following any leader like...

The problem with that report is the numbers are drawn by counting the number of days the president has been away from the White House. But presidents often continue to do work while away from DC. Much of Biden's time away from the White House is spent at his two homes in Delaware, which simply...

A lot of people say the same thing about Trump - he wants to destroy the republic and install himself as dictator. In both cases I think those claims are nothing more than fear mongering politics. Regardless of who wins in November I doubt very much that either one of them will destroy the...

The union does have a big impact on this deal. But US Steel is not exclusively union. US Steel's management finally woke up the fact that continuing to use 100 year old blast furnace technology was loser in today's competitive international market for steel. As a result US Steel in 2020 built...

So it appears that Trump, Biden, and Harris are all on the same page on rejecting the takeover of US Steel if the anonymous sources quoted in the article are accurate. I can see why they are framing it as a national security issue, but there's a risk that U.S. Steel may eventually go under...

True, illiteracy is not iself a disabilty. But if the person has a mental disability that prevents them from being able to learn to read and write, that underlying disability may be protected by the ADA. For example, I know a musician whose dyslexia makes it nearly impossible to write the music...

It's a form of discrimination. But it's important to remember that most discrimination is legal. For example, an employer preferring an applicant with a college degree over one who doesn't is discrimination in favor of those with college degrees. That is legal discrimination though. Of course...

That's the most valuable piece of that article. Each of the candidates has their own pollsters to help them determine where to best put their efforts. It's the accuracy of those polls, which are not made public, are the polls that will shape how this election comes out. Two months to go is a...

The problem with your advice is (1) turning himself in may potentially be used as evidence against her and (2) if the police never catch up to him she may avoid arrest altogether. Note that upon turning himself in he likely will be arrested. The advantage of turning yourself in is that you get...

Possession of any amount of cocaine or ecstasy is illegal under federal and Missouri law. Whether the prosecutor will charge you with possession of those drugs is impossible to predict. The amount you had is pretty small, so there are a variety of things the prosecutor might to do. Not knowing...
