If the libs are meteorologist they are not very good at it. All the models showed it would hit Tampa or north until the day before. Ian took the same path that hurricane Charley took 17 years ago and that was also forecast to hit Tampa. That did $17billion in damages, but with population growth and inflation they believe Ian will do about $50billion in damage, doesn't seem like that is major climate as much as poor planning. The insurance business is a disaster in Florida, they can build buildings to withstand cat 4 and cat 5 storms, it's the water that does most of the damage. One county had space for 40,000 evacuees and only 4,000 showed up. Cry wolf too many times and people fail to listen.

On a note of open borders, a Pinellas county Florida sheriff was run over and killed by a frontend loader on a road construction site. It was driven by an illegal from Honduras who took off, handed his helmet and jacket to another illegal and hid in the woods til they tracked him down. Apparently even in DeSantis's state they let illegals work on the roads, is this because Americans are too lazy to work? Or the contractors are hiring cheap labor without the government checking up on it?

Fuel prices are shooting back up, I assume this is because of the hurricane, they had been dropping as they usually do after Labor day. I assume Biden will have all the answers to this like buying more oil from the middle east even thou we have plenty here. If climate change and inflation are such big factors why would anyone trying to fight these things think lower fuel prices are a good thing? When people can't afford to buy gas and groceries then prices (inflation) will go down. People will drive less or buy more fuel efficient cars. Only thing I can think is there is an election coming and they will do whatever it takes to buy some votes.

I said its filled with old people and rif-raf, didn't say everybody there was. My parents have been snow birds there for close to 20 yrs ( old people) And my daughter and her BF just moved there 2 1/2 weeks ago, I was down there for the 1st week helping them fix their place up which is probably going to get wiped out it the hurricane. Driving in near Gainesville it started to rain, 5 cars were in the ditch in 5 miles, how is that even possible? Even in bad blizzards I seldom see that many cars in the ditch. They make about half as much money down there, and people move at a different pace. I'm not sure what people see in the ocean, it's either too hot, or too windy, and it smells. But to each their own. I will just keep paying my insurance and taxes so that every time the people of Florida get wiped out by a hurricane they can rebuild and get wiped out again. So I may be visiting Florida again real soon Bart, but there is also a chance I never step foot in that state again. Any way I hope everybody has made smart decisions on what to do, and where to go.

It's a big swamp filled with old people and rif-raf. By "great weather" are you referring to 90° and humid with scattered showers? Or the occasional hurricane? Maybe this is a sign the state needs a good cleaning? Have you done the "Florida man" challenge?🤣

It's much easier to blame Floyd's death on a few hard working officers then to face up the fact that there is an opioid epidemic. And now they won't even lock up people for buying or using drugs, in some cases they even give them places they can shoot up along with fresh needles. Hopefully Bidens new drug negotiations will make it easier for everybody to get addicted to opioids while making drug companies billions in profit just like the covid "vaccine" gimmick is doing.

This is what the world is coming to, handing out participation awards for losers. I would be all for paying off student loans for those whom are fiscally responsible. If you have never missed a payment or had a deferment you should get $20k, if you had one or the other give them $10k. But to give money to deadbeats that don't pay their debts, or were too dumb or lazy to understand how a loan worked or that you needed to get a real job to pay for that education, that is just teaching them they don't have to try. As far as some people's worries of adding to the inflation, I don't see that being an issue because of the number of POS's that haven't made a single payment thru the entire pandemic even while getting stimulus money. This isn't really going to free up money for these people because they have been irresponsibly spending all their lives. Sad when the people who already got free money get $20k on top of what they already got. Now colleges are encouraging students to apply for food stamps and rent assistance. Nobody respects "free" money, it just leads to them wanting more "free" money.

"Trillion-dollar" is the first red flag, do you think poor people are going to pay for any of this? How is spending a trillion dollars "good"?

"will-have-massive-impacts-on-small-towns-across-america" Yes, like a meteor would have a massive impact and wipe the small towns out. But don't worry we will just let in more illegal aliens to drive down the wages and take whatever jobs are still available in these small towns.

"Inflation Reduction bill"? Oh and let's throw in some climate change with that? Its moronic that they try to reduce gas prices while raising interest rates, it's counter active. And then to say you are trying to change the climate while getting lower gas prices? None of any of this makes sense. Here is a real kicker thrown into the Inflation reduction bill, they set limits on how much drug companies can raise the price of drugs, so the drug companies just stop making those drugs and when they come up with new drugs and put a super high price on them. These things that are meant to help does more harm then good.

The Democrats think they can buy votes by handing out "free money", but anybody with common sense (and a little work ethic) can easily see that this is just taking money out of their pockets. When they pull a barrel of oil out of the ground they don't shove $120 back down the hole to pay for it, somebody is making money off that. This "Robin Hood" theory of taking money from the rich to give to the poor is false hope. Rich people are much smarter then poor people, that's why they are rich, taking this extra money poor people get is like taking candy from a baby, it doesn't take much talent. The problem is much of this money they are handing out to the poor is coming from the working class, they are getting screwed from both ends.

Can we get some Mingle NFTs too?

Maybe you should try OnlyFans, or Pornhub instead of Mingle2?

I think some may have misunderstood the question? It says what is the best "PART" of a woman. I would say any "PART" she lets me enter is a good "PART"! 🤪

I really have no idea what anybody is talking about these "coins", but I will say there are far too many people complaining about this "free" web site. I suppose they figure why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? How much is premium service? Like $6 a month? If everybody had to pay that many of the scammers would go away, and if you can't afford $6 a month you probably shouldn't be looking for a date, or you should go out and get a job and make better use of your free time. Nothing is keeping you here so if POF or another site gives you what you need you are not trapped here. There is no such thing as a "free lunch", I'd really like to help you out, which way did you come in?

It's like Chuck E Cheese, you can use your coins to earn tickets that you can turn in for useless prizes.

If a woman is so jealous and insecure about a little flirting the relationship probably isn't going to last anyway. And it goes both ways, women dress up to impress other women and some guys are glad to show them off, while others are not amused by this. At the end of the day it's not about who flirts with who, but more about who goes home with who. Just because you flirt with somebody doesn't mean you are going to have sex with them.

What's next? "LOOKS DOESN'T MATTER"? or maybe "HYGIENE DOESN'T MATTER"? We are humans and some things attract us while other things drive us away. To each their own but please use some common sense like not liking somebody too young or too old. Remember you don't stay the same the same age and neither will they and your views may change over time.

I would agree with most of what Mike has to offer. Do you remember when you were a kid and had Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy? When was the last time one of those stopped by your house? Fairy tales to make use feel better, to make us believe in magic that could not really happen. Religion is just cults designed to control people. It's a pyramid scheme that makes promises they can not keep while encouraging people to spread the word. The reason Catholics don't believe in birth control is it's a way to grow their group. Missionary work is done in other countries to gain power in new areas, look how much religion has been spread over time by this. I'm not going to deny there isn't good things about religion, but I will live my life to live and whatever happens to me when I die so be it.

Farming has been government controlled for years and the entire farming system is broken. People should care as much or more about farming as they do about global warming.
Corn needs a lot of nitrogen, that's why they put ammonia on the fields, other crops like beans actually put nitrogen back into the ground, but for economics and convenience most farms run a mono crop instead of rotating crops every few years. Only 1% of corn grown is "sweet corn". Here in the US about 40% is used for ethenol and about 45% for feeding live stock. So at your summer BBQ there is more corn used in your hamburger and soft drink then in your ear of corn on the cob, then factor in the amount of corn to get it there. The government gives subsidies to grow corn and produce ethenol. A lot of the corn used to produce ethenol is planted and harvested with fossil fuel, then it's dried and processed with fossil fuel. In the long run not only the costs, but also the benefits of producing ethenol are more harmful then beneficial when you factor in the other factors such as adding nitrogen to the field, using water, polluting the water, and so on.
The live stock is now kept on feeding lots, cows were not designed to eat corn but we feed it to them anyway because it's a "cheap" way to fatten them up. Feed lots release large amounts of methane and other pollution. In nature the animals would graze out in the field and their waste would be repurposed to fertilize the field. But human interaction has redefined how we do things and much of it comes down to money. Believe it or not our food is actually under priced, but these savings have long term costs.

jan 6 who cares.... i mean really. waste of tax payers money again


It doesn't appear you even live in the US, but I do. Stop worrying about taxes you dont pay.

Schiff Russian collusion for a year, was certainly NOT a WASTE of our money. If he wasn't a sitting president things would've went differently.


Pot - kettle, kettle - pot. Pump doesn't understand she is a "bully" just as much as others are "bullies". People have rights to post their opinions, opinions are like A-holes, everybody has one and they all stink. It is perfectly acceptable to discuss other things that are going on without starting new topics. Some of the best input is from outsiders, they see things thru a different light, so I am offended that she would call him out just because he is from a different country.
People died on Jan 6th so it needs to be investigated? I think all of that has been investigated so let's move on, there are plenty of other deaths and murders that could use those resources to be solved, the Jan 6th hearing is nothing more than a witch hunt, political propaganda stunt.
Biden is old and the only good thing I have to say about old people is at least they will be dead soon.

I always thought of Gin as a winter or Christmas drink being it tastes like the Christmas tree

I would gladly let you get your hands on me

I see what you did there, hitting on Nganyim?

Really thought you were going to say Chandler's girlfriend Janice. Like OMG, could you get any more annoying? I have never cared for the Boston accent, not sure who could live with that?
