June Inflation Highest Since February, CPI +2.7%

So it is a girl's fault for wanting an area free of men to disrobe?

Facts are not attacks. And on the subject of predatory, what does practically every mass shooting that makes the news have in common?

Do you think men should be forced to disrobe in the presence of women? Or force women to disrobe in the presence of men? And what about individuals who are born with traits of both sexes?

Why is it legal to marry a first cousin in Georgia? You all have a weird sense of morality down there for sure.

As far as gas prices and the war costing the US taxpayers billions of dollars per day, I guess we'll find out tomorrow if tomorrow is actually TACO Tuesday or not. For the safety of innocent Iranians and nearby countries, I certainly hope tomorrow does turn into TACO tuesday. Committing war crimes to distract further from the Epstein Files would certainly be another crime against humanity.

I fail to see your logic.

Define force? At the end of a gun? At the whelm of society? Peer pressure?

In a jail/prison or the military there are certainly cases that could be made. I don't know what accommodations are / should be made in those cases.

Hospitals? Any sense of modesty can be left at the door.

A stripper at a club? No one is forcing her/him to get on the stage.

A teenage girl on a high school basket ball team? NO. She should not be forced to share the women's locker room with a male.

Your mention of marrying our first cousin is the very definition of a straw man fallacy.

Marrying your first cousin is permitted in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, California, and Alaska.

I've mentioned the state of Georgia over the years in several post, so it's public knowledge. I never considered someone might keep up with my personal details though. Honestly that comes across as board line doxing.

And that's why it's not doxxing. You've mentioned being from Georgia many times on here. Georgia has had a long list of anti-transgender, anti-transsexual bills in the last two years which is why I also mention its permission for cousin-marrying. I don't think I trust someone from Georgia who is anti-trans anything on the matter.

With the exception of possibly some large stock holders in munitions and warfare equipment companies I don't think you will find hardly any Americans that are pleased we are in this conflict with Iran. I don't claim to have any intimate knowledge of what's going on over there, but I voted for this administration and trust them 1000% more than the previous administration to look out for the best interests of Americans. The fact that they immediately shut down the open borders and are trying to push a bill through to require identification to vote shows me which side is pro America.

If you want to talk about war crimes, how about leaving $7 billion + worth of equipment in Afghanistan; 78 aircraft, 40,000 military vehicles, 300,000 weapons, etc.? Talk about setting up your enemies.

Regarding the Epstein files, both Obama and Biden administrations had access to that stuff for a long time and they tried desperately to use everything negative they could heading into the 2024 election. Seems to me if there was anything in there to sink Trumps ship they would have exposed that stuff a long time ago, so that argument doesn't fly.

All the left can do is hate Trump, but they have no viable candidates with reasonable ideas. The far left crazies are leading that team.

If your so closed minded that you discount someone's opinion strictly because of the state they live, I believe that exposes a lot about you as a person.

I am not the least bit "anti-trans". If you're 18 years old or older, (have elective surgery) your body however you see fit. Just don't expect to be able to sue the doctor, therapist, or anyone else in 10 years when you realize and regret the horror you've inflicted on yourself.

I'm 100% for anyone under 18 dressing and acting however they see fit. Just don't expect me to apologize for they way society responds to your personal decisions.

I'm 100% for "trans-people" coming up with their own sports league, I think that would be great. If you want to make an inter-mural sports league that is both male and female, go for it. So long as everyone agrees up front that girls and men are competing on the same field, who cares?

Actually my discounting of your opinion comes from your previous remarks about trans people and that they are somehow "mentally ill". The statement isn't true just because someone is either transgender or transsexual. Being from a particular state is totally secondary reason from dismissing an opinion, tertiary to the political views you've expressed. Anti-trans rhetoric AND hard-line views that align with the conservative agenda AND being from a strongly anti-trans region? I'm satisfied with my assumptions.

Spoken like a far-right crazy. My opinion on suspected pedophiles and people who lie directly and repeatedly to the american people and who have mounting evidence of criminal conduct while in office is unchanged. I don't care who holds office if they are guilty of such offenses. That's how we're different, you and I. You think this is "just" about Trump.

There are doctors out there who say otherwise.

Supporting this sort of deviancy only serves to harm an already mentally ill individual who needs compassion and therapy, not life altering hormones and surgery. But if someone is over 18 and wants to cut their ear, hand, foot, or any other body part off, who am I to stop them, other than saying the doctors are failing the patient.

WTI crude is $116, Ice Brent crude is $110. Brent was always higher than WTI but for some reason it flipped.

It's TACO Tuesday right on schedule. It wasn't enough to just not bomb Iran and let the day pass, the dumb old geezer gave away the farm in the process. We'll be paying for his dumb mistakes forever. Or, was it actually a mistake? You know who this also benefits, besides the authoritarian regime in Iran? Russia.

Gobblessit, it just all makes sense. Controlled tension with Iran pours money into their economy.

Hilarious! You complain about President Trump taking out the leaders of the single greatest sponser to global terrorism and suppressors of gay rights, then you complain when a cease fire is reached.

Keep us updated on the price of oil, ok?

DOW up +1236 to 47,811, WTI yesterday was $115, today down about $21 to $94, BTC $71,000.

With the Strait of Hormuz not open WTI & Brent should be a lot higher, why did it tumble?

Those leaders have been replaced, and there are more in line just like them, and the ones before them. Trump did nothing for regime change and everybody knows it. Everybody except you?

Oh right, it wasn't about regime change it was about weapons of mass destruction and rumors spread by people who profit from the industrial military complex, where have we heard that one before? We obviously didn't find a bomb because the tweets would never shut up if we did, and we didn't even get any enriched uranium. What are you claiming was victorious, again? Still giddy over the fact we bombed a school full of children? B/c I'm sure as hell still disgusted and I hope our military is held accountable for crimes committed.

Oil/gas tankers aren't yet crossing the Strait and Iran says the ceasefire has already been violated and is now unreasonable. Show me a real truce and stability, and I'll point you back to the fact that we started all of this, unprovoked, and it wasn't costing a single tanker $2M to cross the Strait. Had we accomplished something there, then maybe it would be worth celebrating.
