oops. 5 times 4 is 20. I mean they will never report an annualized increase of over 20%

Regarding the idiocy of saying that GDP declined 36% in the second quarter, I guarantee that when it rebounds 5% in the 3rd quarter, annual rate over 12%, that suddenly reporters will scratch their heads and do some research before they blindly report the 12% figure.

have you boarded your windows yet, Narc?

Stephanie Thank you for posting Gohmert's resolution about the Democrats. I copied it to a Word doc and saved it on my desktop. I am so glad that Republicans are beginning to say out loud, "when are the Democrats going to apologize for slavery?" This should be repeated endlessly. Ask Pelosi at every press conference. Lots of SJW idiots don't know any history and will be stupified by these facts.

Iggy, so sorry to hear about your wife. God bless her and you too. Jane My wife was struck in her right eye when she was 2 years old. If it had happened 30 years later, and not in 1957, it could have been repaired. But instead, she has lived with only one good eye. She sees only blurred images on the right. This has not affected her life in any significant way. She was told not to play sports or dive into pools in order to protect her good eye. But other than that, no one would know that she is only using one eye. I am seldom aware of it. It occurs to me as I write this that one of her special talents--remembering faces even when many years have passed--could be related. I am very clumsy in explaining this, but my purpose is to reassure you that you will be fine. Best wishes for your recovery.

Lyle "Stakeholder" theory conveniently leaves out the most numerous stakeholders,the people who buy the corporation's products.

I thought Bruce Bawer's rant, if you want to call it that, had a lot less power than we have seen by far less well-known writers. Are you listening, Ig?

Jane maybe try the zinc first, because it is less hassle

My bank balance is now only -1/2 infinity

Porch I didn't have to say I told you so. She was very grateful, which went straight to the bank

Jane, regarding your sinus problem: my wife had chronic sinus problems, like a post nasal drip but worse. Full battery of allergy tests. Nothing. Many visits to ENT doc and no ideas left. I heard about Navage on talk radio. Bought it for her. She said thanks. It sat on the counter for a few months. I said can't you just try it. Finally she did. Bingo. It is a two-times-a-day nasal wash that ended all her symptoms. I highly recommend. At Amazon.

Most of the Northern states had already outlawed slavery by the time of the constitution. They would have preferred to have no slavery in the South as well. but the South would not have joined the United States, and what good would that have done? So it took 80 years to eliminate slavery. A bit less time than it took any other country in the world.

"The Founders only considered us blacks as 3/5ths of a person" Wrong. they were determining the rules for representation. At that time, the majority of slaves were in Virginia. Counting the slaves as citizens for allocating congressional representation would have given Virginia an enormous advantage. The Northern states didn't want to count the slaves in the formula for representation. It had nothing to do with whether they were "persons." So the compromise was 3/5 of slave population counted with white population. If they had counted slaves, who could not vote, as equal to whites, the South would have had far more political power. Is that what the leftists idiots want?

I can't believe the absolute storm of fake news about rona and the push to keep us all inside. the latest is screaming that hospital ICU's are full and a surge in deaths is next. Virtually every MSM outlet has a story about the Texas hospital crisis. But at the Federalist, Chuck Devore breaks it down. The Texas Medical Center is at 100% of its regular ICU capacity--but only 28% of ICU patients are Covid positive. The other 72% are non-Covid. Can the MSM really be getting away with saying we have a new ICU crisis if most of the patients are not Covid patients?

As for Rubenstein, it's great to see a guy his age still playing with such skill. EXT, one of the best concerts I have ever attended was Rubenstein at age 89 (about 1975) playing a solo performance at Orchestra Hall Chicago. He chatted with the audience and was very charming. Still was very moving at the piano at that age. He died at 95.

Trump should give that guy who saved the cop's life some kind of recognition

SWC is pondering whether or not Sullivan can request the en banc review It's a free country

Might as well bust people for owning shoe polish. Henry, my shoe shine kit has black shoe polish in it. Do you think I'm in any danger?

This is interesting. Has anyone already put this up here? https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/breaking-doj-reveals-discovery-new-strzok-notes-flynn

Jane, Thomas is probably saying to himself, why is Bolton acting like such an idiot? But you're right, he would not have to be put in the position of ruling on him

it has been reported that Susan Rice's son at Stanford (at least he was) is an outspoken conservative.

JIm, if the bike has narrow racing-style tires, that is not a high level for inflation. Some have 70psi

Buckeye, you give me hope! My AC is over 40 years old, but the maintenance people don't know how old it really is. Every year we say a prayer that we won't have to replace it. Did yours finally give up the ghost?

Dukakis led Bush 55 to 38 as of the time of the Democratic convention in 1988. H/T Insty.

Yes, 1941 was based somewhat on truth. There was a huge panic in Southern California in 1941 over the impending Japanese invasion. A friend of mine said his father picked up property on Balboa Island at the time for a pittance that is now worth a fortune.
