Masked gunman kills 2 in separate shootings CNN. Happened in a 36 hour span. There is a $16,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. It might be a hate crime. One victim was gay and the other a jew. Both white.

A solution to Hillary wanting to take away our guns is to take away her security. Let her live an ordinary life as a woman who has to defend herself. Let her drive to work down a long dark highway at night with a chance of having a flat tire. That doesn't suggest violence.

Democrats still have kavanaugh convicted of sexual assault even though the investigation showed no proof. To me that shows they shouldn't be in power.

My company closed and I received unemployment in 2004-2005. Me going back to work didn't effect the unemployment numbers. I think a lot of people have been on the sidelines waiting for the economy to get better. I'm making more than I've ever made per hour and I'll be getting paid 48 1/2 hours this week. The job has great benefits including profit sharing and free life insurance. Wages are rising. I was hiring in making $2 an hour more than people were hired in a year ago. The economy is definitely improving.

Unemployment is the lowest it's been since 1969. That was before I was born. I agree we are at the top of the economic cycle but that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy it. Smart people are paying down debt and getting ready for the downturn. Lots of people make money during a recession.

The investigation showed there was no proof and he was confirmed. Bill was guilty. The difference is guilt and innocent.

Hypocrisy is alive and well. ----- ------ In comparing Clinton to Kavanaugh, what one is forgetting is the BEHAVIOR under questioning was not combative nor uncooperative and the mistress never claimed an assault or even brought forth any complaints AT ALL, that was all CERTAIN republicans, who if the same standards are applied, USED Lewinsky and hung her out to dry after. Another key difference is all women went to the PUBLIC media instead of authorities, with the allegations Another key difference is in the grown women who accused Clinton did not appear to be doing so in an attempt to maintain anonymity,(all women went to the PUBLIC media instead of authorities), with the allegations so publicity was a potential motive there. Another difference, The alleged incidents with Clinton were also at a time when they were GROWN women, one who met him in her hotel room. Another difference is the proof of harm, which none of the women had either, as none (to my knowledge) had sought counseling or had evidence of any other sort that a trauma had occurred to them. One of the women signed an affidavit that nothing had happened to her (Broaddick) until interviewed by certain republicans, nothing fishy there. and none of the women, to my knowledge, took or passed any lie detectors. There was PLENTY room for doubt, and much less to corroborate their claims. PLENTY of difference in what happened then and now, except of course, the party allegiance in saving their 'guy'. (democrats and republicans) A big difference you seem to conveniently forget is that Clinton was the President when he did what he did with Lewinsky in the Office where world decisions were made; and Kavanaugh was a minor if he did what he did. his acceptance may be a poor reflection of the Senate but still, men redeem themselves when in great offices. Clinton's behavior destroyed men world over. Some people may have difficulties in understanding this. In Asia, work is worship. Clinton not only destroyed this great principle and moral fabric but by doing so made us all suspect and alien to our wives, our daughters' friends. and that includes me - it's personal. Now you may come back with statistics on Basic Instincts - which means you misunderstand me so allow me ... I knew a boss (in US - Indian born - dead now) who destroyed a saleswoman in his chamber and she left weeping and the VP (American) didn't say anything. I left the company, (new then to US & was on work visa). Many others left later on. For the boss, the company was a money printing machine For us, we were working with technology. The sales woman was a technology woman. Otherwise Clinton was a great man, did a great job. He halted a war between India & Pakistan after a botched attempt to blow up Indian Parliament that was in session. And I didn't like Starr chasing him down - the damage was already done. Americans are forgiving but Clinton's gall in coming back to support Clinton for re-election - the sickness had become the corporate norm. Working America hurried on. all respect, it seems if men can 'redeem' themselves, Clintons achievements in his actual Job reflects that redemption. Men in powerful and political positions throughout history have had mistresses and have had sex. It doesnt destroy much except maybe their own marriage. It is wrong and an offense to their wife and their God (if they believe in one) but has little to no impact upon the performance of whatever their job is or the people they impact with it. Yes, it is a difference. The lewinsky scandal was about a consensual affair while in office. and the Ford scandal is about an alleged NON CONSENSUAL assault while in school. Lewinsky as a consenting adult made no allegations or complaints. Ford, who was a minor at the time who was allegedly traumatically impacted, tried very anonymously to bring it to light. My point is the democrat republican divide did not change. Under Clinton, although he behaved in a much more 'interview' like manner when being questioned, the dems did not support the charge and the republicans did. Under Kavanaugh, the republicans did not support the investigaton and the democrats did. Both parties are made of HUMAN BEINGS. and human beings dont behave in some strict accordance with political stereotypes, except that blind party allegiance in positions of power. The key word is alleged. There was no proof and not worthy of an indictment. It was a smear campaign that didn't work. How many times will the democrats attempt this. We will see in the upcoming election. |

Whose doors or cars were the Republicans banging on? All I saw were the Republicans having a celebratory rally.

I should be working today getting this place ready to rent but I'm tired. Hopefully this evening I will get some ambition. It will be nice to get moved and settled in. Then I can focus on volunteering for overtime. Christmas will be here soon.

Trump is saying it has been a productive week for Republicans. It's easy to see the divide without checking registration. I'm from a red state where most people believe in hardwork and capitalism. We are Republicans. We have a few Democrat friends who hate Trump. One friend today was threatening to block his Trump supporting friends on Facebook. He was born with a silver spoon and would be a Republican, except he is gay. I don't believe kavanaugh will vote to reverse anything that has been voted on in the past. Our country needs to focus on the values and principles that made it great to begin with.
I have no problem with gays getting married but I also believe Christians should have their rights. Things were getting unbalanced. Gays had their rights and trying to take away others rights. We needed a conservative to serve. |

I think protesters should have been arrested when they began banging on people's cars just like the were arrested yesterday for banging on the doors. That isn't peaceful protest. That's mob like behavior like we saw in Missouri.
Everyone has a right to free speech and protest. Democrats went to a protest looking for trouble. They got it and now want to cry about it. I don't condone violence but I see how it escalated. |

That's the spirit, ms H.
I seeing some democrats acting like abortion just became illegal and gays just lost their rights. Non of that has happened. People need to relax and enjoy good times. The sky isn't falling. |

I think kids are part of having it all. My friends without kids have definitely had an easier life. Now that we are getting older, parents are passing away and our friends are slowing down, it seems to leave them lonely. Having kids means you always have some thing to do. Future generations keep you busy too.

We are at or close to the top of the economic cycle. Everything is great and home prices have outpaced wages and put us in another bubble. Inventory is low and keeping us there. I was talking to another group and one poster mention that baby boomers leaving the housing market might just be what gives enough inventory to cause another crash. I hadn't thought of that, but since he brought it up, I've realized most of my neighbors are baby boomers. In between 2020 and 2030 a lot will probably exit the housing market and those home will go on the market. Estate sales are usually cheaper because kids are trying to get quick cash without doing any work.

I wonder how many of these protesters actually vote. They seem to enjoy being in the spotlight and causing riots. But I wonder if taking time to vote without recognition is part of their life.

Democrats have turned into an angry left wing mob. Trump words responding to the protester after kavanaugh was confirmed. Several protesters were arrested for being disorderly. They were screaming and banging on doors. CNN is showing protesters punching people. I think a lot are listening to Maxine waters and becoming violent. Basically becoming a mob and trying to bully republicans. This is damaging to our country.

Bringing back manufacturing jobs is the solution. These types of jobs usually require overtime and pay pretty well. My ins has a $1600 deductible. I worked 46 1/2 hours and put in for 2 bonus hours. Should be a nice check. I was back at Lowe's spending money this weekend which helps the economy. We have lower paying jobs here also. I have a friend who has always chose that type of work. It's climate controlled and she doesn't work as hard as people in manufacturing. She doesn't have kids and has a working husband and lives in a mobile home.
It becomes conservative vs liberals because of views. I saw a poster talking about how crappy the economy is in his area. I was in orientation with a guy who lives in the same area he has listed on his profile. I also have a friend working at ga power making $130,000 and the Vogel plant is 30 minutes from the poster. I have a friend making over $70,000 at ampacet which is 30 minutes from him also and lived in the same town until 3 years ago. Where I live, I'm on a well, no trash pick up, etc. It boils down to some people want to find work and be productive and some want an excuse. I have a friend who was complaining he only worked 30 hours one week. I told him my son is on the hiring team and usually works over 50 hours every week. He quickly told me he doesn't like it there.  So he is still living in that crappy apt and struggling to get by.
The more people work, the more they pay in taxes. More people spending and less on the govt. |
