        Liberals are in love with accusing others of being racist, sexist, ect...


        For example, SSG accused tsb of being sexist. Personally, I find that despicable and he should apologize immediately.


        Here's another example: Jussie Smoollett fasely accused Trump supporters of a hate crime. He should go to prison and it looks like he will. Jussie is gay so he'll probably enjoy being anally raped.



        Jussie Smollett convicted of staging hate crime, lying to cops

        Jussie Smollett was found guilty on 5 out of 6 charges at his hate crime hoax trial.


        After a contentious week of witness testimony, counsel arguments and deliberation, the jury found Smollett guilty on the first five counts, and he was acquitted on a sixth count of lying to a detective weeks after Smollett said he was attacked.


        Smollett was stoic as the jury read the verdict. The actor sat upright and stared straight ahead without showing any outward emotion.
        Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.

                Supreme Court will let lawsuit challenging Texas abortion law continue


                • The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a lawsuit challenging the legality of Texas’s new abortion ban can proceed before the law is enforced against anyone, at least against some currently named defendants.
                • However, the Supreme Court allowed the Texas law to remain in effect during that challenge.
                • The decision came more than a week after the high court heard oral arguments in a separate case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, in which the state of Mississippi asked the justices to overturn decades-old precedents supporting a constitutional right to abortion.
                • During those arguments, the court’s 6-3 conservative majority appeared ready to weaken that precedent over the strenuous objections of the three liberal justices.

                “Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?” liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wondered aloud. “I don’t see how it is possible.”

                The two cases challenging the Texas law, one from the Biden administration and another from a group of abortion providers and advocates, were effectively combined and placed on a fast-track schedule for briefing and argument.

                    And when you are constantly saying others are, you most definitely are.

                        ... give me a Kleenex! Prices are up in every country in the world. In the USA, prices have risen less and generally cost less than anywhere in the world.

                        I wish I paid as little for most goods as most US citizens do. Of course, that would mean that I would not have free quality healthcare and good roads, rail and airports.

                          EV are still too costly for the average American.
                          How does the EV get its power?
                          Coal and gas/diesel fuel.

                              ... ever hear of windmills, waterfalls, biomass, solar, ethanol, tidal or nuclear? All sources of energy/electricity.

                              The EV manufacturers are selling out as fast as they can make them. I see lots of average people on my street driving them.

                              Ford has so many orders for their new electric F-150 they are refusing to take new orders for awhile.
