    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    That was pretty funny. Nicely acted too. But everytime I saw the car shaking the '70s phrase "if this van's a rockin' don't come a knockin' " jumped into my head. :D

    As a follow-up, Alfred the Great is today known as the "Education King" for his emphasis on education.

    King Trump the First Drops His Own, Nasty, Filthy, Feces on "No Kings" Celebrants!

    Family legend says that I'm related to King Alfred the Great, ruler of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. This was before the first unification of England under his grandson King Athelstan in 927. An AI summary of his education initiatives lists the following education...

    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    Gee, it's hard for me to know which one was telling the truth here, Trump or the pharmacy company officials. Neither has a particularly good track record for being open and honest....

    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    Pretty funny list. But I'll give the top award to #49 because I've seen that happen all too often. :D

    King Trump the First Drops His Own, Nasty, Filthy, Feces on "No Kings" Celebrants!

    Of course "King Trump" goes against Western royal naming conventions. The practice is to use a regnal name (the monarch's first name or one of his/her middle names) rather than the family name. This is because with a monarchy passing from father to son every one of them would "King Trump" which...

    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    Can't open that one at all. Looking at the file name it ends i.5549 rather than .jpg That unconventional file type of 5549 appears to be one reconfigured by this site from a .jpg file. As a result no photo editing program I have recognizes it and I get an error. When I changed the file type to...

    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    That photo is way too small for me to read or even identify anyone in the photos. For an idea, it's about the size of your sun avatar. When I click on it to see if I can make it bigger I get a message that says I don't have permission to view that page. I can get around that by having my...

    How to verify legitimacy of an electronic signature on a contract

    The first thing to know is that most contracts for services do not need to be in writing to be enforceable, but it does make it easier to prove the terms of the contract if you have to go court over it. The types of contracts that you typically need to get in writing to be enforceable are those...

    Sixty-six Year Old Man Proves Its Never too Late to Better Yourself

    When I was in college I worked one summer in the headquarters of a company that owned a chain of convenience stores that are all placed in high rise office buildings and cater to the workers that go in and out the building. I was in the accounting department assisting with the accounts payable...

    Political Humor and Satire - Guaranteed to Offend Somebody

    The songwriter would have even more material to work with using Donald Trump as his subject. Both parties are lacking in candidates with the kind of intelligence I would expect of those who are in the top positions in government. Every election cycle seems to bring even worse choices than the...

    Non-violent cursing/insults not always protected free speech?

    Just doing that isn't a crime. But that's not why the agents sought to arrest him. As Jack pointed out, the video you posted didn't include the entire interaction — conveniently leaving out that earlier he had repeatedly stated that he was not a U.S. citizen. The federal agents would then have...

    MICHIGAN Church Attack: 2 dead, many wounded at Mormon Church

    What's needed is for those who claim to follow a particular religion is for them to not just talk about it but also live by it. I know too many people who claim to practice religion X (usually because that's the religion their family claimed to follow) but don't actually apply the principles and...

    Non-violent cursing/insults not always protected free speech?

    The U.S. guarantee of free speech is the most permissive in the world, but it is not absolute. The exceptions to it are not limited to communicating threats. Speech that is lewd or obscene, that may be reasonably understood to calculated to incite violence (even if the speech itself is not a...

    MICHIGAN Church Attack: 2 dead, many wounded at Mormon Church

    And the people following them. Religion provides the vehicle for them to claim that their views are the only correct ones because they come from God. So they argue and fight about differences that don't really mean much in the scheme of things instead of focusing on the core message of God. The...

    MICHIGAN Church Attack: 2 dead, many wounded at Mormon Church

    I'm sorry to say that I'm not surprised if that turns out to be correct. It highlights two of America's long running problems: mental health and hatred of one or more religions and the people who practice those religions. They are two distinctly different problems, but they sometimes come...

    MICHIGAN Church Attack: 2 dead, many wounded at Mormon Church

    What's been said in that article suggests that the shooter may have had some kind of hatred of Mormons. He wasn't a church member with a grudge against fellow church members. A friend of mine once observed, and I think he may be correct, that more wars have fought over religion than any other...

    Youngest Tuskegee Airman Dead at 100 Years of Age.

    And trailblazers too. They proved wrong those who thought that Black people were incapable of doing that kind of work and were willing to put their lives on the line to protect a country that at the time treated them, at best, as second class citizens. Their contributions are, IMO, rightfully...

    Golf Investors have demanded Capitol Fund from Members. Will Terminate Our membership if not Paid

    The answer to the question you asked is yes, they may terminate your membership and doing so would not be illegal. That's because there is no law making that a crime or civil violation. Contract law, for the most part, does not involve any criminal law or civil regulations that might draw fines...

    AG Bondi Asks DOJ to Probe Office Depot Employee Over 8Refusal to Print Kirk Poster

    Gee, what a surprise. Trump put a person in charge of DOJ who seems to be clueless about constitutional law. Trumps picks for cabinet positions were particularly bad this year. And she's not even the worst of them.
