    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Yeah, the math just doesn't add up. At the very least the public funds allows the private funds to be freed up to be used for other services, like abortions, which couldn't otherwise be provided without the existence of the public funds. So while they may not use public funds on paper, they...

    Direct Tv in the Truck?

    It's an app (phone, tablet, computer web site) called Dish Anywhere, and uses the built in SlingPlayer on the Hopper (or a separate SlingPlayer of yours isn't built in) to let me control the DVR, including watching it, and even watch live TV from the Hopper at home on the phone. You can do that...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    What Dave said. My "source" is an objective viewing and simple math. Planned Parenthood receives one third of its operations funds from the government (Medicaid and Title X funding). Yet they say they only spend 3% of their funds on abortions, and only 10% of clients get abortions, and in the...

    Most of it's routine. Was going to replace the fan clutch and alternator and belt tensioner in the next few weeks anyway, since those were about due. But the worn out motor mounts caused a quite a bit of collateral damage. If you crank the engine with lots of revs and it rises up like it wants...

    I just stopped by yesterday. Didn't bother calling. :D

    Direct Tv in the Truck?

    I have Dish Network. Works great, including accessing the home DVR. Can't give you any input on Direct TV. Wasn't long ago when you could not pick up HD channels with them, but I didn't know if that's still true or not, but I'd want to know for sure one way or the other.

    Somebody was just in here a little while ago looking for an alternator for his 2014 Sprinter. Cheapest one Wayne could find is $1600, no aftermarket one yet available. That's $365 cheaper than a dealer. Yeah, I wants to gets me one of them new Sprinters. :eek:

    I don't think I'm getting out for $220. Motor mounts are shot, so the engine is sitting there an inch or more too low,and it's leaning forward. Nothing lines up, including the fan carving out a perfect semi circle on the bottom of the shroud, the hoses don't fit right, the driveshaft is not...

    Planned Parenthood's Problem vs. Capitalism

    Don't kid yourself, Planned parenthood absolutely uses public funds for abortions. They don't show it in the accounting books, but if it weren't the for the public funds, then their private funds would have to be used for the abortions. The public funds is what allows them to use the private...

    Latest Brokers not Paying.

    FWIW, I drew my opinion of Charles from my personal, face-to-face interactions with him. My opinion is that he's a good man, and if he owes people money he will pay it, if and when get gets the money to do so.

    American milestone

    is ow where I stand. You need to keep in mind that when Leo says we need to impose consequences, "severe enough to be too fearful to risk," he is talking about astonishingly shocking penalties applied with equally astonishing swiftness. He isn't talking about merely the death penalty in "beyond...

    Just because you did it

    It actually fits everybody. It's never about what you did or didn't do, it's about what the prosecution can prove. Being “guilty” of a criminal offense means that one has committed a violation of criminal law, or performed all the elements of the offense set out by a criminal statute, and has...

    American is now offensive

    I lived in New Jersey for 2 years (Exit 8). Hated every minute of it. There are more cars than people there, and they're all on the road. You can be out in the boonies and it's still bumper-to-bumper traffic. Lived in Howell Township for one year, then in an apartment on the beach on Manasquan...

    American is now offensive

    The irony is, the University of New Hampshire Bias-Free Language Guide isn't bias-free at all. It reminds me of those who demand tolerance yet have no tolerance for those unlike them. The Guide is just loaded, loaded with White-Tower Liberal bias. (And not just because the act of segregating...

    Actually, Trump was spot on in this case. The authors aren't so much students as they are activist students and the faculty which comprises the Faculty Advisory Council for Community, Equity and Diversity, of the Office of Community, Equity and Diversity, College of Humanities. The Advisory...

    Very few women are emotionally damaged by, or regret having abortions.

    You can't have rights if you don't exist.

    Obama 2016

    You have the same view of "Take out country back" as I do, which is, it's not racist just because a conservative says it, and those who think it is, or worse, think liberals have never said it and that conservatives invented the phrase, are butt stoopid.

    I wouldn't take any video at face value when the person making it has an agenda, regardless of the topic.
