    Egypt and the surrounding Arabic nations are showing their true colors by not lifting a finger to help the Palestinian people. In fact, Egypt has sent troops to reinforce the border. 

     Perhaps Egypt is concerned that some Hamas will slip through their borders with the refugees.  I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to help.

    I honestly don't think they ever have.  He's a moderate democrat at best however the party isn't criticizing him, the Republicans are.  He's pulling votes from Biden but also from Trump.

    Dude might win.

    I wonder how he differs from the “Kennedy Democrats”. so that they don’t support him.  Is it because he’s going against “party line” and running against Biden.  I’m tired of all these politicians putting Party first instead of what’s best for this Country and the American people.

    Hamas went house to house killing families.  Women, children, elderly.  Hostages have also been taken.  
    Suspicious that Biden releases 6B to Iran and weeks later this happens.  Humanitarian use, right, I have a bridge I’m looking to sell.

    For years when I collect eggs and there's one or two that are particularly messy, I don't bother cleaning them. I just throw them out into the field for the animals to find. What I learned was that the crows caught on and even when there's none out there, I'll see them looking around for one. LOL

    Today as I went to let the chickens out, the crows were going crazy, making a racket. So I looked to see what the rumpus was and they were chasing a hawk away. 

    I think they're gonna get some eggs later. 

    I’d say they deserve some eggs.  I’ve heard crows are very intelligent.

    For a city of Elmira office? I don't think so honestly. The mayor has absolutely no bearing on a state law already signed into place. It’s an opinion, not a policy stance.

    I found the adversarial tone taken on by the “moderator” more disturbing. His job was to ask the question, not challenge the candidates’ answers or lack there of.

    True.   I just thought, doesn’t he listen to the news?  His lack of awareness made me wonder what else does he not bother to look into.  He just seemed unprepared with no definitive plan to remedy the City’s problems.

    Just my opinion but:  Cause -  lack of parental guidance.  Electronics have become built in babysitters, schools have to feed kids two meals a day because parents can’t/won’t provide for their kids.  Lack of respect, for self and others, something usually taught in the home.

    What can schools do - expel the offenders, period.  Don’t worry about loss of State Aid.  Education is a free (except for school taxes) privilege in this Country, not free child care.  If you can’t respect that then you lose that privilege.  Parents need to be parents, not your child’s friend and stop blaming others for what you have/are failing to do in raising your child.

    I’m not certain Rush Limbaugh would recognize the party right now. The likes of Gaetz, MGT, Jordan, etc. are completely unhinged and seem to be running things.

    Right into the ground.

    So Gaetz followed through and moved for removal of McCarthy based on a rule change concession McCarthy agreed to for votes.  I disagree with this rule change.  The Speaker position is third in line for the Presidency after in the President and VP.

    Can this rule change be reversed?  I’f so, it should and not allowed to happen again.  I am disgusted with these people, all of them.

    Have you guys seen this “Egg Crack Challenge”?

    Of all the stupid crap people can be doing on social media, hitting their kids in the head with an egg “for laughs” really takes the unmade cake.

    I just watched a short clip. None of the kids seemed to think it was funny. Several cried. One girl smacked her dad, which was the only thing that made me smile.

    I cant imagine what will be next. 

    Idiots have to get their likes and 10 seconds of social media fame.  Such shining examples for the kids.

    Ann. Have you looked at the numbers of people in Buffalo who have been assaulted by Americans? I seem to remember that there was an egregious attack on black people at a Tops store not that long ago.

    That doesn’t change the fact that at least two so called asylum seekers, who broke the law when they entered this country illegally, committed criminal acts once here.

    I sort of thought that it would come to this. My first impression of Twin Tiers Living was that it was - as you suggest - a forum for all sorts of ideas. But, it seems, those ideas have to align with majority thinking. There seems to be no avenue for dissidents.

    I disagree.  Conversation and discussion is what I see.  Opinions differ and that’s fine, we can agree to disagree, but no one has tried to silence anyone.  Who knows, something might be said that could lead to a different point of view.

    Statistics show that the threat from immigrants is far less than that from citizens. Remember that immigrants want to be here. US citizens are stuck with what they have got.

    Erie County welcomed 500+ illegals from New York City, a self proclaimed sanctuary city.  A man from the Congo sexually assaulted an employee of the hotel where the illegals were housed.  A woman was raped in front of a 3 year old child by a man from Venezuela.   Tell these two individuals how safe it is to let unknown people into the Country.   The County Executive has refused to accept anymore illegals as these individuals are not being properly vetted.

    MsKreed. According to Amnesty International (and other sources): The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention (including the international definition of a refugee) into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980.

    Anyone who is on foreign soil and asks for asylum must be granted a hearing.

    I don’t believe there is any Nation on this planet that has the ability or resources to properly process the hundreds of thousands or millions that have crossed our southern border illegally to date.  Hearings are scheduled years out and in the meantime these individuals are shipped across this country to communities that do not have the ability or resources to take them.  

    America and Americans have proven their generosity many times over throughout history.   There is a difference between helping and being taken advantage of.  The citizens of this country have the right to know that anyone coming to this country is not a danger to them or this Nation and the way things are now, with the vast numbers of illegals crossing into our country, there is no way to properly ensure the safety of our citizens or this Nation.

    Sooo... how many more indictments does someone need before the party starts saying, "Eh, you know what? We're gonna shop around a little here. Thanks but no thanks."

    I don’t think the Republican Party is all that behind Trump.  It’s the people.
     What upsets me is that on most of the news channels all you see and hear is about Trump and indictments.  To me, this smells of election interference, what Trump is accused of doing, in my opinion.     The focus is on Trump and nothing about the Bidens and the possible corruption there.  


    A can of worms has been opened.  Was it Lenin or Marx who said “accuse the other side of that which you are guilty”.
    In my opinion, that’s what is happening now.

    At my worst, my credit card balance ( just me ) has only been $3,000, which is the limit and I won't raise it any higher. As a family, I'm very sure we don't have a total high balance at all. The wife is pretty diligent about that kind of thing. In the past I haven't worried too much about being on the higher end of my limit, but lately I have been paying better attention to how I use credit. Of course Christmas will come along and then things change, but we pay it down or off as fast as we can after. 

    Maybe this year we can try to pay cash more, but with doing most of my shopping on Amazon, it may not work too well. 

    Use Amazon and still pay cash, just buy Amazon gift cards.

    I love that commercials are included here. 

    I don't think I even heard of MTV until 1983 or 1984 after seeing it at my aunt's apartment. Apparently, that wasn't unusual and was why they did the "I want my MTV" slogan. They'd run ads with that in markets MTV wasn't available and America's youth would start calling the cable providers saying it. 

    A great book about MTV is I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution by Rob Tannanbaum and Craig Marks. I may have to re-read it sometime soon. 

    Was this something you were able to watch when we went from two snowy channels to PrimeStar satellite channels around 1994?
