    You have to make good choices @Dwight Ward and live with them. I am fortunate in that I have made good choices, although I have never owned a horse. The quote is credited to Daniel Boone.

    Balenciaga is the company that has been in the news about child-trafficking because of their child models and advertising ads, and the pictures that I saw were horrible !

    Here is one of the Balenciaga ads for childrens clothing, and they have used several pedophile symbols, which are circled in red in the photo.

    If Killery aka Hillary is any indication of how it goes, it won't go well. Moat women vote democrat too. Look what that has done to us. She is one blood thirsty individual.
    Now rumor has it that many presidents did listen to their wives and made wise decisions. But today's women aren't exactly conservative or Martha Washington.:D

    Men and women have different wisdom. I believe both are necessary for a functioning society.

    I now see that the Ukrainian military is trying to evacuate Bakhmut but Zelenskyy is blocking that. Sounds a lot like Hitler and Stalingrad.... Nazi vs. Communist once again.

    I agree but not so sure WW111 is worth it. But like everything else they do, there is nothing we can do about it. Or will do about it I should sway. We have no choice in the matter.

    You think men and women are different? You must be a right wing extremist.

    They are bent on an extensive war (economy) but the arms dealers are hoping it stays conventional. I somehow think that when one side is about to lose, it will go nuclear.

    This corruption goes way back. Arms dealers of today or musket, powder or cannon makers of the past have started many a war because they are all tied together across countries. Then they make money from both sides.

    A growing number of Ukrainians would like to see Kiev launch peace talks with Moscow, the head of the National Security and Defense Council, Aleksey Danilov, admitted on Thursday. The top security official claimed the development was a “very dangerous tendency.”

    Just heard a radio ad for Joe BIden. He lowered the price of insulin, which Trump did not do and will maintain Medicare and Social Security while lowering inflation. Better get you yard signs while they last.

    They've raised the price of paint. I can't afford to put up any yard signs.

    Actually, lowering the price of insulin and epipens was one of Trump’s first moves (my wife uses epipens). One of Biden’s very first moves was to roll back Trump’s action. Then he made a big deal of dropping the prices later. Even Snopes admits it.

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-insulin-epipen/

    “In July 2020, Trump signed a series of executive orders that he posited served as an end-all solution for lowering high premium prices of prescription drugs — including the price of insulin, which he claimed would “come down to just pennies a day.” Under the Executive Order on Access to Affordable Life-Saving Medications, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was required to make changes aimed at lowering the cost of EpiPens, or injectable epinephrine, for Americans with severe allergies and the cost of insulin for those diagnosed with diabetes.”
