  • Its about over folks, do you care?

    Yahoo is stopping the last place people can ask a question and give an answer that is not preapproved by the propogandists. most other sites on the internet have stopped all free speech also.

    This is but one more in a line of most sites that closed off the rights pf people to speak, this internet has already decimated the news paper industry so even a letter to the editor is rare, and must go through PC scrutiny to be published.

    Do you folks care, or will you be sheep in the decimation of freedom.

    Let your congressman know that's its time to cancel the PC crowd.

  • Is the new American left just like Communist china?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/china-s-in...

    AOC has openly suggested re-education camps for people who do not buy into the new green deal or who support western civilization in the face of the woke  revolution against it.

    As the forced reallocation of earned income continues to gather steam and the dismantling of everything that allowed for people to choose their own future and make their own life's decisions, how can anyone not make the comparison.

    People are called racists and lose their livelihoods if they simply disagree with a black spokesperson. A simple allegation from a leftist, woke or otherwise will destroy a persons career and social standing. 

    Right now your ability to own the land (even a small lot) you have worked all of your life to pay for and the modest home that sits on top of it is coming into question.. The very right to have your family over for a simple BBQ in your back yard was already eliminated last year, and soon you will not be   allowed to even use a grill, have a campfire or a fireplace.  

    As Christians our rights to our beliefs are soon going to be illegal.

  • When can we honestly talk about crime and violence?

    Because when the demographics move the crime and violence has ALWAYS followed. But if anyone tries to have an honest and reasonable discussion about the issue, they are branded a racist.

    Safe schools become places of fear and dread for students and teachers alike. Upkept property becomes graffiti covered and dilapidated,, and open screened doors at night become bolted down steel doors with bars on the windows. Bullet proof glass begins appear at  all of the check out counters.  

    Robberies, burglaries, car jackings, drug dealing,  rapes and murders soar. 

    This is the truth no one will talk about today. This is the truth the media refuses to acknowledge, and actively covers up. This is the truth that will get someone branded as a racist if he dares to uter the words. This is the truth that gets a person cancelled from society if he says it out loud.  Well if the above is the type of society that YOU support, you cancel me from it because I have zero intentions of living like that. And this is the truth that will get this post deleted from yahoo because this is not an honest website.

  • Did the women drop charges against Cuomo?

    Did the nursing home patients he murdered come back to life?

    I must ask because almost all of the media refuse to even mention the story any more.. yet if you claim the left wing media is biased they scream and wail like a fire siren.

    Cuomo ordered those Covid victims into the nursing homes where there was not enough staff or resources to protect the people living there. Cuomo murdered thousands of those people, but if I don't wear a mask in my own front yard, the socialists and others call me a murderer.

    Cuomo was their caped hero for all of 2020, now that they realize what a creepy murderer he actually is, they bury the story and say "never mind, look over there".

    Funny how so many left wing democrats can get away with literal murder, but if a centrist democrat or independent dares to speak out, we are cancelled..

  • Is off shore wind really a good idea?

    After all, our oceans depend on wave action to provide a large portion of the oxygen the ocean water needs to support life within it. And most surface action is created by the winds.

     While a few  massive wind turbines would not slow down the wind noticeably, we will need thousands and thousands of these generator's to replace our fossil fuel systems. As the turbines act as a tiny but constant brake on the wind and as thousands of additional brakes are applied to the wind on a 24/7 basis, will we have enough wave action to keep our oceans properly oxygenated?  Will all of this construction in the water and constant vibrations from the turbines and electromagnetic action from the production of electricity disturb sea life to the point of harm?

    I have not heard any of this discussed and we must make certain that we are not creating unintended consequences that will be far worse than the problems we try to fix.

  • Is this news story from MSN believable?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/glenn-greenwa...

    It seems to me that if it had really happened as this journalist described, then it would have been plastered all over the internet before now.  This sounds as contrived as Mr. Smollett's little fairy tale.

    The narrative is building, as soon as the left figures out how to eliminate the filibuster, you can kiss our entire Constitution goodbye forever.

  • Has NASCAR lost its mind?

    Why would you put a few inches of dirt over asphalt to run a dirt race in the middle of thunderstorm season?  With no way for water to do anything but sit inside of the mud after a rain, no manner of packing is going to make it drivable for vehicles with windshields and a reliance on high speed airflow through unimpeded grills and radiators to prevent over heating.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/motorsports/brist... 

    At best, it was a very poorly calculated gamble for NASCAR based not only on putting dirt over asphalt for this type of car race, but also to schedule it during the rainiest part of the year. At worst, it is simple stupidity.

    Between NASCAR, vehicle owners and ticket prices, one would think a purpose built dirt track, without the impermeable asphalt beneath the few inches of dirt could be built in a location central to the vast majority of NASCAR fans.  One designed to help drain away rain water and allow for faster drying of the track medium.

    The track could be designed to allow other minor league racing circuits to use. This would also allow better drivers coming through the other circuits to get used to longer tracks and faster speeds as well as attract an additional fan base in an area not currently served. Then buy a calendar.

    One thing for certain, this current decision is just another fiasco in a long line of fiasco's. I'm truly surprised there even any fans left.

  • Why do some people think inflation is not a problem?

    Now more economists on the left are saying inflation is nothing to worry about, that recovery from Covid is more important.  Anyone who was alive and old enough to work in the 70s remembers the inflation from that time period.

    For anyone on a fixed income or at the bottom of the economic rung, inflation will be like an armed robber that will steal your standard of living away from you.

    The economy is recovering, there are help wanted signs everywhere you go and everywhere you look. 

    raising the minimum wage to 15 an hour will do nothing if a loaf of bread costs 7 dollars and a gallon of  milk is 8.50 and a pair of socks cost 11 dollars

    People living on a set pension or social security who are barely paying their bills now will be out on the street completely, and with 20 million people ready to hit retirement over the next 10 years, many with very little savings, inflation will leave them homeless.

     

    Now we are spending trillions of dollars as if its parade candy and no one bats an eye, after inflation spiraled out of control in the 70s the only way to stop it was to tighten the money supply and send interest rates soaring.  I still remember when 12% interest was a good deal on a mortgage and 14 to 16% was standard on an auto loan.

    Inflation is the worst thing to happen to an economy and we cannot pretend it doesn't matter just to pass some feel good legislation today, if we let inflation spiral again, the result will be far worse than what Covid did to us last year.

  • Why does cancel culture allow Elisabeth Warren to still be in politics when  she lied about her native American ancestry?

    Why do people think they have a right to cancel other people anyway? Freedom of speech means freedom of speech. 

    Warren repeated her lies for years, so where are the cancel culture vultures to destroy her? Once again proving the 100% dishonesty of the entire unsavory and disgusting notion of canceling people just because you disagree with them. 

    I doubt yahoo will let this question stand up for long before it gets cancelled. because yahoo is a huge player in the cancel culture.

  • Why do they pull a meaningful and important Ad like Jeeps Springsteen ad. ?

    Yet when the Paris Hiltons and Britney Spears and other assorted Hollywood looneys go on drug fuel orgies and get arrested for multiple DUIs and even assaults' against the officers who arrest them, the press glorifies them as if its all fun and games.

    As divided as our country is, that message was as moving and important as anything else going on today. But it is cancelled because the messenger is not a perfect person.

    I've bought many vehicles in  life and have a few more to buy before I am done.  The crybaby ninnies' who would complain about Springsteen would never be the type of customer that would buy a gas hog off road vehicle anyway. I'll never buy anything related to Chrysler, Jeep or any other product unless they put that back on the air.

  • If Trump is found guilty for inciting violence on DC, can we try those who incited violence against our federal buildings last summer?

    I hope trump is found guilty and forced out of politics, but I sure as h---- do not respect or support the violent riots we saw across the country last year either. In fact I would like to see the leaders of last years riots locked up in the same cell block as the leaders of the attacks on the congressional building.

    I am not a vindictive person, in fact we could supply them all with baseball bats and baseballs so they could all play together and find common ground.

  • Why won't the USA declare full support for a free Taiwan?

    It is the only way to ever stop the expansion of the brutal Chinese communism across the entire Asian region of the Globe.  At the same time, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the EU+UK should declare the same support. Unless the grand plan is to allow the Chinese to rule the globe with their iron boot and censorship fist, and decide which groups of people they want to euthanize first.

    Also, unless you support the euthanizing of muslims and other populations, and you support forced abortions and total censorship, I ask that you support a citizens boycott of all Chinese goods whenever there is an alternative product available and to insist on your favorite stores to find alternatives.

    Or is that super cheap trinket and cheap tv more important to you than the future of freedom for your own children and grandchildren?

  • Why won't yahoo leave pointed political questions up on the board?

    This nation is badly divided and by not letting people post their differences here, I fear that many will take their frustrations into the streets. A news organization should strive to bring al views to the surface so people can debate them or at least see them. censorship in the United states is the worst thing our media can do and it sure makes our enemies in China and Russia happy.

  • Is Trump now an even bigger threat to this country than before?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-tru...

    Given his mounting legal problems, the massive drop off in income and the possibility of incarceration, is our Former President a flight risk? And if he should run out to one of our adversaries with his knowledge of top secret military and industrial capabilities, he could sell our most crucial top secrets to pay his debts and settle most of his problems and then live comfortably in a nation with no extradition treaties to the USA.

    It would be nice if he were put on an international no flight list to keep him here. Let him roam the States, but make sure he is available to be dragged into court where as a citizen he will have to answer a subpoena.

  • Are we going to have selective amnesia?

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fact-check-blm-p...

    I am glad those men and locked arms. Who was BLM protecting that cop from?  Who was rioting and murdering police officers last summer? Who was ambushing and murdering police officers last summer.

    Should we pretend that one of these groups of violent protestors is not as bad as the other?

    Yes a lot of the protests last summer were peaceful, very many were not.

    We must condemn what happened at our capitol and we must condemn the riots that took place all summer. violence and destruction will not make this country a better place for anyone. And we have to stop the one sided media coverage from all of our media, none of them are doing this county a good service.

  • Is there finally enough disgust for reasonable Americans to form a third party? A CENTRIST PARTY?

    A Centrist party that will promote the best ideas of  both major parties and reject the extremists?  The Capitol Riot was the the most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed and some people need to see the inside of a prison cell for a long time. The arson and looting and ambushing and murder of police officers last summer comes a close second.

    We only have this part of a continent to call our own as a free country, and we have more enemies on this planet than we do friends at this point. Let us not hand over our nation and our freedom to the extremists who will then finish dividing us and hand away our freedom to our enemies. 

    I am not wealthy enough to start a political party but I have a little, and I have organizational skills and a desire to spend a lot of time working to help establish a Common Cense Centrist party.  We can still save this country if we reject the ideas and narratives of the extremists, if we don't wait too long. 

    No more violence from either side, please.

  • Is it about racism?

    Today, 1/10/20 we see on news feeds around the internet and in opinion pages that the fools who stormed into the capitol building and became traitors in the process did so only about racism, even the Speaker of the House said so.

    Before going farther I need to state clearly Since the days of Jimmy Carter I have never once voted any thing but Democrat above the County level, and even then only for one County Councilman in the 80's who I knew to be a moderate.

    Now I have no delusions about the fact there were likely racists in the mix of people in Washington on that day, but when you hear the words of most people in the middle, and on the right, you will hear mostly words against socialism and freedom of speech and anti PC conversations.  The left cannot defend their attack s on freedom and morality so they coin everything under the guise of racism and continue to dismantle everything our nation has created.

    The left lies as often or more than Donald Trump, and the excusing of the violence, death and destruction that occurred during protests last summer make them as disgusting to me as Donald Trump.

     Is everything about racism? No, and it never has been.
