Why now?

Please inform America why, at this point in the Biden-Harris administration, the president would give a green light to starting WWIII.

Retail experience

Retailers everywhere are complaining of the hit from online shopping. I went to one of the big home improvement stores to buy a drill/driver. They were locked up tight. Hunted employee from other end of store. Older man got on hands and knees to unlock. Wanted to compare models so second case was unlocked. He’s watching. Made my choice and tried to head to checkout. Was told I can’t do that, he’ll meet me there. Waited at checkout for 10 minutes. Hunted down second employee to hunt down the first. Checked out 10 minutes later after over an hour in the store. I understand shoplifting is a problem but treating all your customers like criminals? They may save a drill or two, but what do they lose in customer loyalty?

Day 1

The first thing Pete Hegseth should do is fire every general and admiral that has not earned a combat badge.

Logic

How did the writer of “Interstate Driving“ fail to recognize that the highway department, in this very specific case, wants trucks in the left lane; ignore or fail to read the article that explained that the right lane is temporary, and, thus, fragile; and fail to give law enforcement credit for having sense enough to not ticket trucks for abiding by the nearby sign that says, “Trucks use left lane”?

Rigged

Funny how all the people claiming President Biden didn’t win are now suddenly believing the election wasn’t rigged. Roads are being built, the economy is healing. Please remember who to blame. It was Trump who was president when you couldn’t find toilet paper. Trump who told us maybe inject or drink bleach. That was real. I watched the press conference.

Is that hunting?

Referring to stories printed about the huge trophy size deer that are killed: Really, did that animal even stand a chance at survival? Game cameras that track the animals patterns, baited fields, food plots, and tree stands? Why give anyone bragging rights about killing huge deer when the animal never stood a chance against man’s tactics.

No experience

I’d like to know how secure and prosperous people are feeling with Kristi Noem as head of Homeland Security, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense and Elon Musk with Vivek Ramaswamy heading the new Department of Government Efficieny? Maybe I’m missing something when it comes to lack of experience.
