    I learned generosity.
    I also have a stepson. My son and I spent the first part of this afternoon being fed a dinner followed by a birthday cake at his home.
    When my stepson was a kid, we'd really butt heads. So I was very surprised when he made me his best man at his wedding.
    That's when I realized I had done something right.

    Getting term2 to come to terms with identifying Trump objectively is an exercise as futile as pounding sand. He/she will not take Trump off the pedestal she/he has placed him.

    If trump doesn't succeed in general election against Hillary, we get Hillary. If trump isn't the repubs nominee, we get Hillary. If trump isn't the repubs nominee and he goes independent, maybe the house puts in someone else. Other than Hillary. It's as simple as that

    Well he has to get them to make peace with him if he wants the nomination. No repubs nomination means Hillary is the next president. It's as simple as that

    Trump is having a closed meeting next week with unidentified GOP big wigs and power brokers. Draw your own conclusions. I've drawn mine.

    With all due respect, Trump is just as much of an arrogant narcissist as ObeyME without the public presence. Trump is the rotten stench of the mouldering corpse of the GOP. Anyone who calls himself an objectivist would recognize Trump as Oren Boyle with a bad spray tan.

    Cool story. I think people should marry whomever they want. It's their business actually. If you and your wife are happy together that's ok with me. If the Muslim and his wives are happy, its ok with me too. I would do away with death taxes and income taxes, so there would be no tax breaks for marriage. As to defense, forget the draft. Maybe I am the fuddy duddy also. I would pay for the best people to defend the society whether they are man woman gay or straight

    Yesterday, I was browsing the Mall of America with my family. We passed a muslim man with his 4 wives and several children.

    It occurred to me that if liberals had their way, polygamy would/should be legal... and, in effect, it already is. Its just not announced as such. A muslim man will have one wife, and on his tax return, every other wife & child is marked as a 'dependent' and wallah, no need to pay taxes. Ever.

    It didn't look like he was getting nagged from 4 different directions either. Maybe that is the ultimate on earth - polygamy & sharia law in the U.S.

    Ol' fuddy-duddys like me grew up in an era where marriage was one man & one woman. And only boys signed the Selective Service cards upon reaching age 16... because only men went to war to protect the women and children of this nation.

    I should tell my wife to pick out 3 more wives for us. I'm sure she'll be thrilled at the idea.

    I just wish I had not spent the afternoon watching Black Mass. It was ho-hum. Johnny Depp plays interesting characters but this 'un was one low key killer.
    A son giving me a Mad Max Fury Road DVD in the evening brightened me up.
    I'll watch it (again for having rented it like Black Mass) one evening after working on taxes for positive psychological reasons.
    When my dad (passed away last June) spoke of diversifying investments decades earlier, I had no idea of what I'd be inheriting. Talk about DIVERSITY!!!
    Watch it all go south when the stock market crashes. That would likely be after I pay taxes on all of it.

    "He says what he thinks" -- out of both sides of his mouth as what he thinks changes from day to day in accordance with the latest appeal for any deal for anything, like any Pragmatist with no principles.

    With all due respect, it was Obama who is the poster child for arrogance, petulance, and just being a brat. Look at his response to Snowden and his calling Putin to get Snowden turned over (Putin gave Obama the right response and has little or no respect for him. Trump would know better than to do what Obama did in foreign relations. I mean forcing the Bolivian president's plane down to inspect for Snowden?? Trump would never do that, but Hillary would

    I dismissed Carson as a religious zealot, as I dismiss Cruz for the same reason

    Cruz has this wicked smile when he gets approval after he comes out with what is obviously a sound bite from his handlers- as if he is pleased he has power. I just dont go for that, plus he has been caught cheating and trying to knock out Carson,

    Donald Trump is the poster boy for Crony Capitalism. This fact undermines any words he has to say.

    Or perhaps they don't want an obviously unhinged man with access to the nuclear codes. Mr. Trump's default setting seems to be violence and bullying.
