Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack
  • It seems like someone should be eligible for all states or no states when it comes to this question. But a federal court, not only congress, should have authority to convict on these charges and thereby rule the candidate ineligible.

  • Outrage in Seattle after ‘raids’ of several gay bars citing ‘lewd conduct’ laws
  • Some bars are private establishments. Those bars require memberships. The rest are public non-governmental establishments. These are open to the general public. Lewd behavior does not belong in any public establishment. If you want that type of environment, make it a membership only establishment.

  • Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup
  • In the US parties are large coalitions of a lot of different groups an interests and not all of them mesh well together. This is true of the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. To write off the divergence as being explained by upset, uneducated young males who spend a lot of time online seems naive. The population of such males is small and they are an even smaller percentage of the electorate. They might make the difference in a tight election but they do not explain the significant divergence in party association between males and females. Plus the divergence on gender between left and right is not limited to the United States. It is a phenomenon found in many other countries. So there's a lot more to it than a small demographic in a single nation.

  • Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin
  • The key word in my comment is "will." That's a prediction. You can ping me in 25 years to see if this works out. In the mean time, people are taking this prediction seriously (it isn't only my prediction) when discussing global politics.

  • Americans, mostly women, are becoming more liberal: Gallup
  • Or maybe the divergence of male/female voting has nothing to do with suffrage. Maybe women value social safety nets offered by Democrats or maybe they value the Democrat foreign policy or maybe they just find Donald Trump more repulsive than do men. I can think of a lot of reasons that could explain the divergence that have nothing to do with someone (who, I don't know) wanting to repeal a woman's right to vote.

  • Debunk this: Things that happen while Ronald Reagan was a US President
  • Perhaps you are unfamiliar with JFK's movement for deinstutionalization? If there was a serious cut in federal funding, it happened then. Reagan didn't bring it back, but it was already mostly gone by his time. A good book to read is "American Psychosis: How the Federal Government Destroyed the Mental Illness Treatment System" by E. Fuller Torrey. Many historians who discuss the decline in public mental health in the US specifically site the book (and later the movie) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as a principle cause for the shift in dollars. And really, the institutions were bad. Very bad. The attempt to replace them with something else ended-up being replaced with ... nothing else except crime, homelessness, and police.

  • Debunk this: Things that happen while Ronald Reagan was a US President
  • Almost all mental health institutions were either run by the state or country and relied on very little federal funding. Their popularity collapsed after the 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that depicted such institutions in negative light. Reagan may be to blame for the other items but not this.

    Car insurance prices surge
  • Used car prices went up, new car prices went up, collision repair prices went up, and repair time increased significantly. We also saw a huge increase in accident severity and a growing trend toward more aggressive driving.

  • How did you lose weight?
  • I read labels and...

    • Eat only trace amounts of saturated fat.
    • No sugary drinks.
    • Eat a lot of fiber.
    • No breakfast, it isn't necessary.
    • Walk or bike 1 hour every morning.
    • Lift & run every work day during my lunch hour.

    I've never been more fit.

  • Tyranny
  • A right to remain silent. A right to a competent attorney regardless of ability to pay. A right to due process. A right to a timely trial by a jury of peers. A right to healthy food, shelter, healthcare, and other accommodations while incarcerated. I'm probably missing a few.
