    Once again...nothing to be done but prayers and thoughts

    Instead of treating a mental health issue with surgery and pharma (catastrophically tried for centuries to cure same sex urges), let's start treating this issue as it has always presented itself: a mental health question.

    ICE or EV?

    Tesla Semi truck: $295k + taxes, ect. 500 mile range. 2026 Diesel Semi truck: 190k + taxes, ect. 900+ mile range. Who is Tesla kidding here? https://electrek.co/2026/02/10/tesla-quoting-price-500-miles-electric-semi-truck/

    President Trump

    Once you accept the notion that everyone, regardless of race, creed, or (fill in the blank) has a racist streak of varying width, you become less judgemental about "that other guys problem". How do I know this is true? Start, dear reader, by taking a deep dive into the phrase ...the soft...

    President Trump

    I care. No matter how it happened, the response should have been A) "It was wrong", B) "I've apologized by phone with them". and C) "We've taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again". In that order. Looks very unprofessional and gives fuel to the opposition. I see it as a slip up by...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    $6m won't be on the beach, but at least "beach adjacent". Ocean front is $10m for the most part. Some of my favorites in NPB.... https://www.redfin.com/CA/Newport-Beach/1232-Blue-Gum-Ln-92660/home/4586963 https://www.redfin.com/CA/Newport-Beach/47-Cape-Andover-92660/home/3564198 A $6m "knock...

    Left Wing Violence

    MMMM.... not so fast.... Ashley Babbit was fully engaged. Unarmed? Yes, but she was shot while breaching a locked door as per the video evidence. I can understand why she was shot, as that crowd was in no way peaceful compared to other J6'ers. To be consistent here, if you think she was...

    President Trump

    You know who else aren't police officers? FBI Agents. ICE and FBI Agents are "Sworn Law Enforcement Agents" who enforce national laws, not State or local municipality laws. Sheriffs aren't necessarily "Police officers" either as they enforce unincorporated areas, although sometimes are...

    President Trump

    Lots to unpack here.... "The important decisions are being made by people in the moment who are supposed to be the authority".... are in fact the ICE officers. They are empowered by Federal law to apprehend and remove aliens. They are all criminal BTW, be it Civil or Criminal law breaking. If...

    President Trump

    FYI. If you are a permitted Concealed Carry citizen, you cannot do so without also carrying I.D. - which he was not doing. I don't know about you, but if it's a peaceful protest, why bring weapons of any kind? Finally, yes, this person did some good. Most people do during their lives. Was he a...

    Landfill Smell in Portola Springs or Orchard Hills Summit?

    It's a matter of wind direction and moisture for the smell to dominate. Driving on the 241befor or after Portola - either direction - and you get a good whiff of things. You've got to get a strong NB wind for the stench reaches Orchard Hills. It happens, but not often. Anyone know when Bee...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Ronaldo's off La Paz and the 5? Try my suggestions. They are closer (Alicia and the 5) and better Yelp ratings. Taco Mesa is the Bomb also! Soylent Red isn't fond of them because they are "too authentic" AKA "spicy". I'd go there daily if not for warnings from my cardiologist.
