I'm a retired education professional for a large IT company. I grew up in Missouri, and although I've lived in the south for a while, the midwest always feels like home. I was born in the '50s, came of age in the '60s, served my country in the '70s, raised my kids in the '80s, turned my life upside down in the '90s, shook my head at the '00s, shook my fists at the '10s, and can hardly comprehend what I'm seeing in the current decade.

To me, that's a sign that even those who support him find it unbearable to watch him try to form intelligible sentences. Or maybe people were trying to figure out how to spend their $.16 savings. Joking aside, and at the risk of beating a dead horse, the Democratic party needs to figure out a graceful way to get Biden out of the public eye.

Trump is wrong in stating that Dems are trying to nullify his 2016 win. That's the past. This is nothing more than dirty politics at it's dirtiest. Dems want to cast as much doubt on Trump as possible and distract the public as long as possible in hopes that whichever weak-ass candidate they offer up can have a fighting chance in November.

coalburned comments on Jul 16, 2020:
Virtual signaling. Sounds so much more innocuous than moral smugness, doesn't it? To those who think it's the path forward I would argue it's the path to social retardation. I read something yesterday about the way attempts at peer pressure never really end. What you describe here is a perfect example, and in the extreme, it's socio-psychological bullying. Our gut response should be to simply reject what we know is wrong, yet for some reason we think we'll somehow win over the other side by being decent and compliant. Talk about wrongthink... Good post, Spike.

Achieving success through theft, cheating, reverse engineering, and other illicit means (well, what most of us consider illicit) has been China's m.o. for decades. At one point I wondered if it was a cultural thing, but I know too many honest people who came here from China. But until everyone calls them on it and backs it up with tough sanctions, don't look for the Chinese to stop any time soon.

The apostles undoubtedly knew he was extraordinary and sent by God, but we see in Luke 24:45 that it wasn't until after the resurrection that Jesus opened their minds so they could fully understand who he was. They believed Christ's teachings and were chosen to carry the gospel forward, but they didn't have the necessary gifts to do that until Pentecost.

Are House Republicans serious about a 30% national sales tax?
coalburned comments on Jan 19, 2023:
A consumption tax has been tossed around a long time now. In theory I like it, but is 30% too much? Too little? Has anyone done the math to make sure it covers all federal spending? What if consumer spending goes down...how does the govt cover its costs? It could be a slippery slope. Again, in theory, the up side of a consumption tax is that it would pretty much castrate the IRS, and it's non-discriminatory. Unfortunately, there's no way the Dems would tolerate a fair tax...the battle to pass such a measure would be brutal.

Lindell is a hypocrite.
coalburned comments on Jul 31, 2021:
I have mixed thoughts on this one. I've always thought Lindell to be a little out there, but there's nothing wrong with that. He's just trying to find a means to an end, and his first choice, FOX, turned him down. I'm sure he wants to tap the largest audience possible, which makes me wonder if he got turned down by the big three before approaching CNN. Wouldn't it be a hoot, though, if a few thousand CNN viewers take him up on his symposium and make a right turn? No doubt, though, Lindell advertising on CNN gives the feeling of living in an alternative universe. 😄

I agree there are many who have Libertarian leanings, but there are degrees of it, and I don't see many, including myself, who are libertarians in the purest sense of the word. Add to that the fact that our political system is deeply entrenched in a three-party system, which makes it virtually impossible for a third party to win. It's an unfortunate fact of life for those who might very well be in the majority. Probably the best chance we would have is to overhaul the Republican party and rename it.
