I was amused as a child & it effects me still. My hilarious antics wind up only amusing. I come from a long line of parents so there had to be lotsa hankyspanky
@jamesbe50434602@Mimix1907 James, that WOULD be right except there are 2 Sq Rt symbols over the 81, so they're asking for the Sq Rt OF THE Sq Rt of 81.
The SqRt of 81(9), then the SqRt of 9(3).
So it ends up being 7+3 on top(10), divided by 2.
Answer is 5.

One of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen...
Ohio in my rear view mirror as I crossed its border for the very last time.

It was Gerald Ford and interestingly Ford was on the Warren commission which came up with a farcical conclusion about who killed JFK.
Nixon was on record at saying he was going to release the JFK files and expose the CIA for their part in the assassination and that is why the CIA staged the Watergate break in and blamed it on Nixon.
You know, that makes more sense than my theory. Always been puzzled why Nixon would risk the break-in bc he must have known he was going to landslide in 72. I speculated he was gravely worried of evidence of HIS foreknowledge of JFK. I think you're closer to the mark, tho he did 'cover up,' something dwarfed by what Dems have done for decades.
Barbara Walters writes:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
I’ll say it again. I was a never Trumper in 2015. I couldn’t stand the guy.
His first term gave me mixed emotions, but ultimately, the smear attack of Justice Kavanaugh forced me to vote for Trump in 2020.
I stayed up and watched the election. It was absolutely rigged. I watched the disaster of the Biden “presidency” and the faux anointed of Kamala without a primary.
I enthusiastically voted for Trump in 2024. He has absolutely earned my trust and I’ve realized how much BS I believed from the media and spouting mouths about him.
I have no clue why he’s not wiping his ass with Thune right now, but he’s holding off for some reason. I don’t like how expensive gas is, but Iran has been at war with us for decades and we finally have a president and an administration with brass billiard balls to kick their teeth in.
This president is the best of my lifetime. All the podcastlandia mouthpieces are desperate for attention. Trump is desperate for results.
He’s got my confidence. He’s earned it.
When I was Muslim, I compared Muhammad’s last words to Jesus’ last words.
Not just the facts, but the spirit behind them.
And bro, the difference is staggering. It shook my devout Muslim faith.
According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Muhammad’s final words included: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. They made the graves of their prophets into places of worship.”
Those are words associated with his final moments.
No forgiveness. No reconciliation. No peace.
Now compare that to Jesus.
Beaten, betrayed, tortured, hanging on a cross with nails through His wrists, Jesus says:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
And then: “It is finished.”
One dies speaking curses.
The other dies extending forgiveness.
One ends by drawing lines and reinforcing division.
The other tears the veil and reconciles heaven and earth.
And whether people like it or not, final words reveal something deeply personal about the heart.
That contrast shook me.
Because one man’s final moments reinforced separation, while the other’s changed eternity through mercy, sacrifice, and love.
Please sit with that honestly.

@CLEsportsTalk That asshole's behavior is so repulsive to me, I'm willing to give the 2016🏆 back.
He's an embarrassment. Worse yet, he's teaching his own son his disgraceful behavior.
@CLEsportsTalk Please don't stab my eyeballs w that con-flopper in my team's uni.
You know, the faker with no respect for the game, his craft, or the fans.
I never want to see that phony chump bastard in the NBA again.
BTW, if the Cavs ever reunited w the Leflopper punk- I'm done.
@BBGreatMoments I have a question-
Which is worse, NBA not enforcing basic rules like traveling & charging, and rewarding Con-floppers with free throws...
or MLB's ridiculous over-enforcement when clearly there's no rules violation by a player?

@Hero_OfThe_Day@NBA Get rid of the commish w the hairline receding all the way to his ass crack.
He's destroying what Bird & Magic saved- a 70s bush league showing Playoffs & NBA Finals on tape delay.
He hires blind ppl for refs, & others who refuse 2 enforce basic rules of the game. Embarrassing.
