Retired metallurgist who respects science and is still idealistic enough to believe in the principles America used to stand for.

Some people think that their positions of status or authority entitle them to ignore or disobey the laws of our society. These beliefs are reinforced whenever other people condone or defend their atrocities.

@insatiablevine Most of your paycheck goes into your pocket. 6.2% goes into Social Security, and you'll get the money back when you are too old to work. 28% of the taxes go to defense and interest on the national debt.

@WillRicci Not everyone in the US is "subject to the jurisdiction" or can be arrested. Any American-born children of foreign diplomats would not be citizens.

@JamesAGagliano @davidaxelrod Tom C. Clark, a Truman appointee, and Potter Stewart, appointed by Republican Eisenhower, were deciding votes for the liberal Warren Court.

@trouble_man90 If Democrats win only the blue states, they will remain the minority party. They need to appeal to the more moderate, independent voters.

@SherrodBrown Candidates will advertise for our votes, and that's OK, but too many commercials for somebody indicates that he has been bought by billionaires, corporations or other special interests.

I want to hear about a girl who has gone through the extensive sex change operation to become a transgender boy, but the state demands that he must now compete against girls on the athletic field.

@tgflake @APompliano I wanted to point out that most people make less than $184,500 a year and will see no tax increase. I favor removing that ceiling. Normalize is a good description.

@tgflake @APompliano Removing the cap raises taxes only for those who make more than $184,500 per year.

@sarahtexe Stationing ICE agents or police at the polling stations is one of the best arguments for mail in ballots.

@AvivaKlompas @NYCMayor So you're saying that Mamdani believes in adhering to the First Amendment.

@BraddrofliT The couple should hold onto that watch. A lot of times in the collectibles market, error strikes are more valuable than error-free items.

@MalloryMcMorrow @92exchangestre1 It is money out of our pocket, $4.25 per trip. Ambassador fare is $10. Gordie Howe fare will be $5.75.

@WalshFreedom @RahmEmanuel What works in New York doesn't work in Nebraska.

@caitoz No. Hamas attacked Israelis. Netanyahu was incompetent and heavy-handed in destroying all those Gazan homes and killing more children than attackers, but Hamas started it.

@0liviajulianna Most voters in New York or California favor a government that provides more services and protections. The voters in the heartland are willing to take care of things themselves and want the government to stay out of the way.

@BonkDaCarnivore That's not a picture of people working hard. That's a picture of people posing for a photo opportunity as if they were working.

@hooverdetroit The tolls for both passenger cars and trailer trucks on the Gordie Howe Bridge will be about half that of the Ambassador Bridge. Matty Maroun's bribe costs Michigan and Ontario residents money.

@JaredRyanSears @SueSuezep @Acyn Two notes on your post:

The deal will not deplete US munitions. The war did.

Trump worsened US global influence with or without the deal.

@gggirl924 My brother and I had high numbers. During WWII, my father was the second person drafted from our hometown. He called it the only lottery he ever won.

@PopularLiberal Had the UFC not scheduled their extravaganza at the White House, I would have ignored it. With its venue at the White House, I will ignore it twice.
