Re: Hong Kong Proves the PP's Mettle
My wife and I spent some time in Hong Kong on our way back from one of our trips to the Philippines about 9 or 10 years ago and I have to say it's really hard to believe this is even happening. My wife was an OFW (overseas foreign worker), working there as a maid from the Philippines shortly before ...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Or, maybe Trump has a thing for dictators and strongmen. There are things I like about the Trump administrations’ actions and by tech’s own definition of TDS, that disqualifies me. Putin, Kim, Duterte, Bolsonaro, and Erdogan. He loves the despots. Most Filipinos I know, and I'm married to one of th...

Re: Vaccines
My Dad had it. Shingles sounds absolutely horrible, and somehow your last line made me smile. My parents both had it. It is awful, and sometimes causes serious issues like hearing loss if it affects the ear, long-standing pain etc. Hope yours completely recovered? Anyway it's a blessing that people...

Re: Vaccines
A person I know very well had shingles (after having both the original and Shringrix vaccinations several years apart) but supposedly the case was much milder than it would have been w/o vaccination according to the physician. The breakout sites were in the mouth, which took quite a while to diagno...

Re: Who Killed Kennedy?
Should probably ask Chuck Schumer. He warned Trump that if you piss off the intelligence agencies they have "six ways to Sunday" to come after you. Maybe he should be put under oath and asked to reveal what he knows that led him to make that statement? (Note: I generally pay very little attention to...

Re: OK, Boomer
Almost one-tenth of boomers were entirely in equities during the quarter, running the risk of serious losses in a market meltdown. I'm guessing those are the ones who need to make risky investments because they hadn't saved enough and are now trying to catch up. If that's only 10% of boomers it doe...

Re: This is also NOT from the Onion
But it is extremely accurate! https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1194414956726407168/photo/1 Maybe because he IS??!!! I think he should plead guilty to trying to get the Ukrainians to look into the Hunter Biden/Burisma affair. Let the facts come out about that and then the American people can decide...

Re: US Treasury to issue a 50-year bond
That article said something about Trump saying we need to re-finance the debt. What the heck does that mean? Does that mean that current 30-year bonds will automatically be changed to 50 years?

Re: Figuring Out Religion
My 42-year-old daughter is the last remaining believer of my three kids and as I'm watching what she's going through in a horrific situation I can only think to myself how much better she would be able to function if she would abandon her illusions of supernatural intervention. She prays to Jesus on...
