Online headline/story: "Contractor installs bulletproof shelters at Alabama elementary school: 'I want it in every classroom' * The shelters are 8-by-8 foot rooms built with ballistic material that can stop any bullet that's been used in a school shooting to date. Dry erase material is on the outside so the rooms blend in with the classroom. " -- Good grief! Talk about overreaction and abuse of taxpayers' money... If every classroom we're equipped with these 64 sq ft spaces, after a couple of years of "useless use of space", teachers would start using them as storage rooms, and if a serious situation occurred a few years later, there'd be no room to get children into them.

Hmmm... rumor has it that PBS is developing a sequel to "My Little Pony".. this one is updated to a group of young fillies... uh.."phillies".. who've been transgendered, and the working title is, :My Little Phony".

Online headline: "Biden arrives in Belfast to mark 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement, with Hunter in tow" -- Wait a minute! I understand when a President brings his spouse along on trips, and has key government employees in tow as well, but including non-minor children who aren't government employees should be a crime..well.. at least prohibited!

Online headline: "Cruz responds to Macron's 'stunning' decision to back China despite Biden's pandering: 'Assiduously courted’" -- Good grief! While I'm not sure if it's a French or Biden issue, it is a sobering issue.. France was an ally.. an IMPORTANT ally during our fight for independence in 1776, and it was France who gifted America with the Statue of Liberty, but Macron abandoning this bond for a relationship with China because of Biden is a serious issue. On the other hand, China may have bought Macron with an offer of similar "personal gain" deal Xi has WITH Biden that Macron "couldn't refuse".

Online headline: "Biden DOJ recommends no jail time for trans vandal of Catholic church: 'F--- Catholics'" -- Wow! A male who transgendered to "female"... and brought "his set" with her... I'm beginning to wonder if the LGBT community might want to reconsider including the "T's". The LGB's know who they are and are comfortable with themselves.. which is admirable..but the "T's" aren't.

Somehow I don't feel comfortable knowing the White House in looking into Artificial Intelligence.. in fact, I have a tough time associating any kind of intelligence coming out of the White House.

Online headline/story: "Hunter Biden's business partners, assistants visited White House over 80 times when Biden was VP * Four business partners, a vice president, and two assistants at Hunter Biden’s now-defunct firm visited the White House more than 80 times when his father was vice president in the Obama administration, Fox News Digital has found. * Joan Mayer, who says she was the vice president of Hunter’s now-defunct investment firm Rosemont Seneca Advisors from 2008 to 2017 on LinkedIn, made at least 17 visits to the White House during that time, according to visitor logs " -- Wow! 80 times! Sorta punches a lotta holes in Sgt Schultz Biden's "denials" about "knowing nothing" about Hunter's business.

You know... the Republicans need to take a different approach on abortions...If you've kept up with my thoughts over the years, you know I think this is an issue between God and women/couples, not a legal system one.. and that government's role is just to make sure that any... all.. medical practices are safe. Liberals are using the Republican "hardline" to sway independents and keep liberals inline, and abortion is their key campaign component for getting liberals elected. The trouble with this is that elected libs aren't just liberal on abortions.. they are liberal of criminal prosecution, and criminal sentencing/incarceration as well..
