MAGA unto others as you would have them MAGA unto you!

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

BREAKING: Honda will manufacture the next-generation Civic hybrid in Indiana instead of Mexico to avoid potential U.S. tariffs.

And in a red state too!!! THAT'S RACIST! REE!






Sorry.  Did I catch all the tropes?

That isn't good, because most of those aren't "good" jobs. A lot of them require stuff like steel toed boots...

I think you did an admirable job with the tropes.  Liberal heads would spin, and many tears would be shed.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

This morning legacy news media was saying prices would go up "immediately" due to the tariffs. So . . . are they going to be collected and imposed retroactively on things like cars, food, building materials, appliances, etc., that were imported weeks, months, maybe even years ago, and which are already in inventory?

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.   - Frédéric Bastiat

Prices almost always go up immediately; supposedly it's based on the cost to replace the inventory when the item is sold.  The reverse is never true.
