And another video of Biden just unaware as usual, of where he is at. Barack Obama has to grab him by the hand, then guide him off the stage.

A good number of my products are in other countries. 

I built custom homes for about 12 or 13 years as well. 

And for a guy who probably has never designed and marketed anything other tban to resell some meats and potatoes in his store, which he purchased from a supplier, I just have to laugh. 

LOL  You really don't even know when to keep your mouth shut do you.    smile
And yet you can't afford your own medical insurance...

That's why you'll be voting for Trump who idolizes Putin and both you and Putin will be popping the champagne bottles if Trump wins...

Boy, if idolizing Putin means killing 300 or more Russian troops in Syria, I'd hate to see what would happen to a person he hated.    shocked

NY Times reported it.  I guess they are stooges for Trump eh?  Yep, they must be lying 'cause they adore Trump SO much. 

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/24/world/middleeast/american-commandos-russian-mercenaries-syria.html


From that Article:  

It was the opening salvo in a nearly four-hour assault in February by around 500 pro-Syrian government forces — including Russian mercenaries — that threatened to inflame already-simmering tensions between Washington and Moscow.


In the end, 200 to 300 of the attacking fighters were killed. The others retreated under merciless airstrikes from the United States, returning later to retrieve their battlefield dead. None of the Americans at the small outpost in eastern Syria — about 40 by the end of the firefight — were harmed.

And so your information from Joy Reid and the other morons that you watch intently on MSNBC and CNN, appears to be wrong. 

So then according to the NY Times, the paper of Record for communists like yourself, even they said that the attack by Trump threatened to even further INFLAME tensions between the US and Russia.

Sure seems like a weird way to Idolize Vlad, don't you think?

You truly are just a brain dead lapdog of the Communist Democrat party aren't you?  smile
" don't you think?"

It's not what I think, it's what Putin thinks:
"Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday he wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election because he believed Trump’s policies would be more friendly to the Kremlin."

Well, it's kind of like Trump proclaiming today that George Washington didn't own slaves. He did.

It's kind of like Davis calling other people communists when he supports people who support Putin.

And, in actuality,  Davis is everything you say he is...

“Misses the forest for the trees.” Ya Think!?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Barrett, the newest conservative on the court, accused Thomas, the most senior associate justice, of a “laser-like focus on the history” that “misses the forest for the trees."

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor, too, noted those issues in a concurrence she issued last week in the trademark case."

“The majority attempts to reassure litigants and the lower courts that a ‘history-focused approac[h]’ here is sensible and workable, by citing … Bruen,” she wrote. “To say that such reassurance is not comforting would be an understatement. One need only read a handful of lower court decisions applying Bruen to appreciate the confusion this Court has caused.”

Update On Our Light Pollution Efforts In LA County

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Thanks guys for your comments. I certainly enjoyed meeting with supervisor Barger and I look forward to meeting with her staff in the future as we continue with our efforts on light pollution. 

One of the highlights for me at the event was a point wherein the astrophysicist in charge of the facility asked me to stand at a particular spot in the observatory. He explained that it was where Einstein once stood when the 100" Hooker telescope proved to him that universe was (is) in fact expanding and up until that point Einstein had been a proponent of the steady state theory of the universe. 

Another highlight was the view of messier 3, an awesome globular cluster in its own right, appearing as an open cluster like a blanket of stars being unfurled in the field of a 56mm televue plossl housed in an AstroPhysics secondary holder with a magnification of approximately 530x. Definitely a takeaway memory!...

"Can you tell us more about opportunities for folks to look through the 100", please."

I was fortunate to have a gratis viewing session but to answer your question:

"The rates are $2,500 per half night and $4000 per full night for a group of up to 20 people. Half Night: Start is the end of civil twilight ( Approximately 20 minutes after sunset) to 1AM Full Night"

During a recent evening of viewing with the 100" Hooker telescope at Mt Wilson observatory, we honored fifth district Los Angeles county supervisor Kathryn Barger for her efforts in helping to reduce light pollution within the county of Los Angeles. See the news coverage for details:

The newest, latest ploy by the left, "Cheap Fake Video". I guess the leftist press and Karine Jean Pierre will now run with "cheap fake video' line to cover for Biden..

So now they will drive this newly created phrase into the dirt.  The only problem is that they are lying. 

Taking snippets of videos isn't "faking" a video. The leftist press does it all the time.  

And of course the lapdog frauds here just follow along like the sheep they are, repeating the Bullshit. LOL

CBS went to the extreme, saying that the video of a wandering, meandering Biden was "digitally altered".  

When they were called out for their lie from all sides of the spectrum they removed their words.

This will now be the new creative term that the left uses from here to election day.  

Good luck with that BS.  smile
Oh tsk, tsk, Rich, you'll be happy to know:  "Arizona is sending taxpayer money to religious schools — and billionaires see it as a model for the US"

"Near the edge of the Phoenix metro’s urban sprawl, surrounded by a wide expanse of saguaro-studded scrubland, Dream City Christian School is in the midst of a major expansion."

"The private school, which is affiliated with a local megachurch where former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally this month, recently broke ground on a new wing that will feature modern, airy classrooms and a pickleball court. It’s a sign of growth at a school that has partnered with a Trump-aligned advocacy group, and advertises to parents by vowing to fight “liberal ideology” such as “evolutionism” and “gender identification.”

"Just a few miles away, the public Paradise Valley Unified School District is shrinking, not expanding. The district shuttered three of its schools last month amid falling enrollment, a cost-saving measure that has disrupted life for hundreds of families."

Now, doesn't that make you feel better?....
