from what ive seen, hes worth it and i hope they can make a deal

Gulf of Mexico to me, this one is a severe SMFH

to a degree i do believe the US has been at disadvantage when it comes to world markets, many governments subsidize businesses in order to export cheap goods to us but place high import taxes on our goods...there really has to be a middle ground where we actually can be competitive

gives up his seat and gets the Mrs to run for his County seat and two Gov teets to latch? course that would mean letting her put shoes on, leave the kitchen and give the womb a break.....

taking offense at something and being incorrect are not mutually exclusive

hell he was likely barely containing his salivation response: palestine no more, the people gone, the mess cleaned up and ordinance cleared without spending a dime/soldier and just who does anyone think would profit most from all that cleared real estate on this one, i dont believe there is any chess/checkers or even tic tac toe. to have pondered something as he said out loud in front of cameras would be slightly crazy behind closed doors, but on the world stage? that just begs a response from one extremist group or another, let alone OPEC responding to halving their oil output....not to mention to even think to involve our military in such matters is unconscionable. IF getting other countries to get involved, he/we would have been better served to simply say: the Arab countries dont/wont take in Palestinians and want a two state solution, then put THEIR money where their mouths are, clean it up, rebuild it...otherwise every Palestinian child or civilian that is killed by israeli actions are equally the responsibility of those "brother nations" that refuse

its only two-weeks in, i'm willing to take a wait and see approach. likely, these tariffs are an opening bid, Trump is likely betting that( especially since he has no worry of another term) that "We" can wait the other countries and once they blink, there's room for getting illegal migration under control, same as with the Panama canal. i don't think he really wants it back, but it gets Panama thinking about cooperation a bit more seriously( though technically with two chinese firms managing sections within the canal system, there IS a technical breach of the treaty). What id like to see is that in addition to these tariffs, a way of preventing or forbidding any companies from passing the costs on to consumers, particularly just to maintain their share-values. it has been tiresome being the World's police, scape-goat, bank, etc while some other Nations, in some cases literally, get away with murder...China could give two cold dogshits about climate, fair-trade, or ripping off tech worldwide. They then turn around and undercut world economies because of the above points as well as heavy subsidies from the government, as well as dirt cheap labor. add in the amount of money the US bleeds annually to the UN, NATO, WHO, etc. and generally, instead of any real ROI these entities and Nations keep wanting more, further add in the grift here at home from politicians, lobby groups etc and its a wonder there hasn't been an armed uprising to date. Whether Trump can fix any of this is seriously doubtful, but i think he got elected and some lee-way because at least it isn't more of the same we've seen these last 3 or 4 decades. I hope this DOGE endeavor brings to light the domestic waste( any findings should be made public sans redactions), that the federal workforce IS reduced safely, that the billions/trillions tossed around globally is reduces and accounted for, that our borders are taken more seriously....but with that hope comes a short leash and for what its worth, a watchful eye

Biology and Physiology stand ZERO chance against ideology silly... Because emotions and beliefs, being so much easier to manipulate than facts, are thereby easiest to use for political gain. Your opponent could be 100% correct in their stance on ANY subject, Hell, they could even have the cure for cancer; paint them to be a big enough asshole/bigot/ whatever-phobe and the narrative becomes yours to construct

disclaimer: yes him rambling about DEI hiring right after this event is pure grade-A D-bag material....( and this is not direct response to Andy/Chris btw) its beyond old hearing every-single-negative thing occurring or ongoing in this Nation is because of Trump. Helicopter/plane crash=trump, egg prices=trump, TB in Kansas=trump, people HE pardoned had other prior arrests or committed crimes after pardon Well blaming Trump for the crash with zero factual evidence is no better than him blaming DEI for it, as for pardons and TB; TB was an issue LAST January under the previous POTUS but no one really batted an eye then and has anyone looked into the histories of the pardoned under the previous POTUS? have any of them prior charges or have any of them returned to crime? Some folks only see what they are spoon-fed through their feeds or what fits their view of the world, perhaps expecting metrics to be applied equally to whoever hold whichever office could stop this seemingly inexorable slide into idiocracy or perhaps thats just asking too much; but this henny penny sky is falling routine at the mere mention of trump is just beyond childish and tiresome. let things shake out a bit, the system we've endured the last 3 or 4 decades isnt working( for the majority of people anyway) when/if he does actually commit some Democracy-ending bullshit, believe you me, ill be one of the folks calling for his metaphorical head

worst thing is: Kinkaid wasnt even the intended receiver, you watch the play again, you see Allen pointing up the middle and Hollins was being blatantly held. kinkaid was not originally in position to have a chance of a catch, given the effort he made and how close he came to scooping it up; id call it the " immaculate intention"....NFL really needs to clean up officiating, and start employing technology for spotting the ball

go figure! funny how those that were saying so back at the beginning were fringe conspiracy theorists

been interesting since Jan 20th all of the "sky is falling" from the left( for sake of brevity). Everything they do, say, think, try is the end of the world and Hitler-level evil. latest is the claim he is questioning/trying to remove Citizenship of Native Americans, its so aggravating, the habit of the left to rely so much upon emotion, beliefs and opinion, despite how glaringly false they are proved through simple reading of fact based sources. even worse is that we've spent the last 6 years being preached to about how we must entertain the idea of "identifying as" and the sacred idea of ones culture, yet Trump has recently moved to formally recognize the Lumbee tribe in the Carolinas and don't ya know, many left leaning forums, sites and groups are bemoaning this move. from "he's pandering" to "just because they claim to be Indian, doesn't mean they are" Next, its the new claims of election fraud, election interference, stolen election...yup, the exact claims they've been calling fringe and anti-American, is a growing refrain, even so far as now circulating a supposed letter from a HB-1 employee of twitter who claims to have been a part of a project where bots, ai and algorithms were used to feed readers pro-trump information and suppressing Democrat-leaning subjects...also that foreign actors were allowed to spread influence as well. of course this person had no moral qualms WHILE doing this nefarious deed ( imagine, if truthful, it potentially could have swayed voter's choices if known before the election) instead we get the suspicious and credibility defying after-the-fact-pilings-on of an anonymous employee....taken altogether, it is again the very actions the Left scoffed and sneered at not but 4 short years ago its the hypocrisy that flip flops territory every election cycle that is beyond disgusting and truly makes me hopeful the Apophis asteroid makes a last minute trajectory change

wasnt my original intent to have rink like corning, but if economic feasible, then why not, more the point was Corning has a TON of parking for folks to use so they can walk around market street, ample and accessible parking is a huge advantage when trying to build/revive a downtown....something Elmira has been blind to for years

youll be wanting to get the peach trees pruned soon too

demo arena, create parking space like corning has, replace IDA board members( or at least install minimum 2 non political community members), use funds to rehab existing buildings on water street and encourage small/medium businesses to move in( no bars or clubs btw). better develop parks/greenspaces into what they used to look like in the turn of century, develop at least a portion of the river for sport fishing, stop depending on grants(municipal welfare) for survival
