    The Trump Card...

    The Press really doesn't like how Sean Spicer is handling the Press Room. I often listen to Julie Mason on POTUS on SiriusXM, her Press Pool show, where she talks mostly with the White House press pool journalists. Julie herself is a former longtime White House press reporter with the Houston...

    When do roads generally stop icing?

    In the northern Rockies of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, as the saying goes, they have two seasons: Winter, and the Fourth of July. Last year in the middle of July they had a foot of snow dumped at elevations above 7000 feet, and that wasn't even unusual. The road out of Montana to the northern...

    DOT Got pulled over in KY

    Most states tend to not be a dick about it, but each state has tint laws that apply to all vehicles operating on the public roads of that state. It doesn't matter where the vehicle is registered, since you have to abide by the motor vehicle laws of the state in which you are driving. If you go...

    Expediter of the Year Award

    FWIW, I don't know anything about this other than what is contained within this thread. Also, I do not have a CDL. I used to, but dropped the HAZMAT endorsement, and thus surrendered the Class C CDL, after realizing that I had only had 4 placarded loads within the previous 5 years. I'm also...

    The Trump Card...

    It's a legitimate concern, I think, because a leopard doesn't change its spots. But it's also a prejudice. Just because someone worked on Wall Street, and did a good job in that position, doesn't mean they won't faithfully execute their oath of office and perform accordingly in their new...

    The Trump Card...

    Lots and lots of ICE raids on illegal aliens this past week. Part of it was routine, as they do several of those every year, but part of it was also a result of Trump removing the handcuffs from ICE so they can do their jobs. ICE went after illegals with criminal records, but any other illegals...

    The Trump Card...

    They are far too political, more so the liberal judges who think it's their responsibility to broaden the scope of written legislation in order to "improve" it. That's not their job, that's the job of legislators. The 9th Circuit's written ruling is laughable. And it's why they are overruled...

    The Trump Card...

    The SC generally doesn't like to hear cases that aren't yet fully adjudicated, so I'd be surprised if they agreed to hear this. The District Judge issued a temporary restraining order to block the executive order, until after the Washington State case has been fully litigated. In order to obtain...

    Also, the DOJ attorney who argued the case could probably get his money back for his law degree. He was only marginally more prepared than I would have been.

    The Trump Card...

    I would agree with that, primarily based on the fact that 68% of the judges on the 9th Court are Democrats, and the fact that the 9th Circuit is not merely the most overturned Circuit Court in the country, they are overturned an astounding 80% of the time.

    The Trump Card...

    As a SOLE source it should be a red flag for anybody. That's why I said they've almost made it part of their mission with regard to charter schools. If a newspaper has a mission of a particular issue, that kind of bias needs to be taken into account. But that doesn't mean their reporting is...

    Feminists Shame Christie Brinkley

    No, she's not a nutjob. Not a SJW. She is very liberal, though. She was a NY delegate to the Democratic Convention in 2000, and over the years has given over $100,000 to the Democratic Party, Clinton, Obama, Senate campaigns, and organizations like MoveOn.org. But she was also vocal (as vocal...

    Ok "vintage" sprinter owners

    That many error codes just screams an electrical short somewhere. Even a weak battery will give you all kinds of totally unrelated error codes. As FlyingVan said, that particular areas of the wiring harness is famous for shorting out. I had mine repaired when it happened in that spot, but it...

    The Trump Card...

    That's exactly what has happened with many of the charter school in Michigan that DeVos has praised as a success. They take the money and then provide almost no education. Over the years the Detroit Free Press has almost made it a part of their mission to expose what is happening with charter...

    Feminists Shame Christie Brinkley

    Feminists are blasting Christie Brinkley for looking good at age 63. She's not ugly enough, or fat enough, or dark enough, or doesn't look old enough, and, she's not holding up a sign that says "Women's Equality!" Christie Brinkley, 63 years old, shown standing on a hidden apple box along side...

    The Trump Card...

    Yes. Article I of the Constitution describes the design of the legislative branch of US Government - the Congress. It deals with the ideas including the separation of powers between branches of government (checks and balances), the election of Senators and Representatives, the process by which...

    The Trump Card...

    They won't be less intelligent, no. But they will be overstepping their authority for their own political ideals, as the law is clearly on the side of the President. Congress, (Legislative branch of government) unambiguously granted clear and sole authority to the President (Executive branch of...

    Unbelievable!

    Shin Lim is awesome. Close up sleight of hand is my favorite magic, generally speaking, because when done right it's just beautiful. And he's the reigning FISM world champion. The first time I ran across one of his videos was when he was on Penn and Teller's Fool Us, where if you fool them then...

    This is a pretty intense video right here. Fair warning to liberals: Don't watch this.

    The Trump Card...

    Earlier, somewhere in this thread, I voiced my opinion on Betsy DeVos, being that I think picking her is a mistake. I didn't expound on why, so I'll get into that here, briefly. But one thing, if the Democrats had been honest with the other cabinet picks, instead of being purely partisan and...
