If so, pros/cons? My eyes are getting bad as I get older. Oh, and approximate cost? I know it's a very quick procedure with a 24 hr healing period. Thank you in advance......

With all the back and forth about replacing Biden, no one seems to be talking about ballot access and how they would address it - if Biden was replaced. As of now a few states have closed the window on adding a new name to the ballot. The deadlines have passed. By the time the DNC rolls around - most states will have had their deadlines pass. Which means Joe Biden's name will remain. in some cases, even in death. So, wouldn't you think this is a major issue? No one is talking about it through.

President Trump should let the odious reptiles ruling the U.K. Know exactly where he stands by nominating dissident and ofttimes political prisoner Tommy Robinson as his ambassador to the U.K. This action woukd show respect and recognition to the citizens of the U.K. who are being colonized and impoverished by the communist government in London and let the politicians and establishment of the U.K. that the fundamental relationship needs repairing. Furthermore, Trump should grant Tommy Robinson citizenship.

My friend's truck sustained a lot of damage from an exploding tire. She can't afford to fix it. I thought she should look for a hatchback car instead of a truck, as it would be cheaper. What would be some decent hatchbacks which would carry plenty of cargo and give her several years, at least, of service? How should she further research cars? I was lucky, inheriting all my father's used cars until I finally bought my present car, which I bought new. So I don't have much experience in buying used cars or where to find a good one.

After being unchurched for a number of years, I felt that it was very much time that I once again become part of a body of fellow believers in Christ Jesus. I knew The Lord desired this of me, and I felt His urging in my spirit for a long time. I decided to act upon it, and even though the Saturday before I began to encounter feelings of apprehension and fear, I decided and thought to myself, “That I should not fear, for who is it that shall stand against God, and what He wants for me? That I...

A lot of sources (NYTimes, Yahoo) are reporting that the War Room podcast will continue. But listen.warroom.org and Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bannon-s-war-room/id1485351658) haven't updated since last Friday AM. Anyone know what the situation is?

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

Mercifully, the Chevron doctrine was euthanized by the USSC. A lot has been prohibited by unelected petty bureaucrats. Ok, so what can we have again? Add to the list.

Why would half of the Democrats and the media turn on Biden? Don't they know what the other hand is doing? Don't they just receive orders and march in lock step? I have a theory. Biden knows he needs a trick up his sleeve to clinch the race over Trump. So, he sets up a con where he seems incompetent and comes back, as an underdog, to be an outstanding, articulate leader. How impressive would that be to the American public! Small town Scranton is the hometown of Joe Biden, that kid that made history! And the focus will be...

One name being bandied about to replace Joe Biden is Michelle Obama; the speculation here, on both the left and right, is making me wonder, what qualifies this presumably front-hole person to be POTUS? I mean, should she not, at the very least, have been elected dog-catcher first? How about managing a Chick-fil-A, a lemonade stand? I think, however, that the very idea the Democratic Party (or mouthpieces of) will contemplate or even talk about this possibility tells us a lot about what they think of the office. Clearly, to them, no experience is necessary; NONE, at all. So, why...

Your host with you again another excursion into media excellence one of those songs from 1971 "Put Your Hand In The Hand"... Way back in the 1980's I found myself on the student news staff eventually being the news director at a university radio station full power serving the big city and beyond. The news staff almost all white with a plurality being Jewish. The music people and public affairs folks almost all black and militant-woke... For me October 7th of last was the time I wanted to recall 50 years since I walked away from the Anti-Semitism of my...

Does anyone else pine for the days when the president's typo, "covfefe" was a major event?

I'm just wondering. This question came up in Quora. I could only answer from a British tradition, where if you have officers of equal rank then the eldest officer is given command. Presumably the same is if there are only privates left, the eldest private would take command until a senior can be found to take command. However, I don't what happens in American tradition. If you have officers of equal rank, who gets command or if the lowest ranks soldiers find themselves without a senior officer, what is the American military procedure to deciding who gets command until a...

DEBATE Joe the Truth Teller: Debt: Joe said Trump added more to the Debt (in a 4 year period) than any President in history. Truth: Joe Biden will be the President to add the highest Debt in History (via official projections) and Joe and Barack + Joe = roughly $17 Trillion added to the Debt. Border enclosures / cages Joe says Trump used cages at the border. Truth: the same cages / enclosures were used under Obama-Biden and there was no change. Border: Joe said that 40% less people cross the border illegally under him. Truth: Joe Biden is crazy...

So, today's national democrat party press corpse (to reuse Obama's phrase) has been told to cut Biden off and remove him from the national ticket. All the expected names (Newsome and Harris of course) first and the expected national women and racists and TV publicity seekers are repeated. Hillary and Michelle lead the "unexpected" attention getters too. So. Why is RFK Jr ignored? He is STILL RUNNING a national campaign. He is the ONLY PERSON on state ballots other than Biden. He has democrat party delegates. Obviously, his positions on abortion are acceptable. Well, to democrat party socialists anyway. And...

IMHO If Kamala is the one replacing him, that is better for us, probably. Yet, if Biden is out, it will hurt Dems. image too. Trump calls Biden ‘a bad Palestinian’ as president’s halting debate showing rattles Dems.

A person of diminished mental capacity cannot enter into a contract, file a lawsuit, or purchase a gun. This basic rule has been a pillar of Western societies for a millinea. Biden has been judged by his own DoJ whose zeal to indict has led to octogenarians to be jailed, to be too mentally incapacitated to stand trial. Last night showed the American public a few things. We all saw, and now even the left cannot deny, biden has dementia. He couldn't remember th 13 soldiers who died during his Afgan withdrawal. He even said illegal immigrants were to be...

Did anyone just watch Biden's North Carolina rally? A totally different person from last nights debate. He was alert, crisp, foreceful. He absolutely had to be "enhanced"

Watching the news this morning and discussion of the possibility of Biden dropping out, a former congressman (Chafitz) brought up an interesting point. Biden is on state's ballots. Primaries have been held and the dye is set. There is not a slot for Democrats (or Republican) and they can not add or drop as they need. At this point in the election process, the only way one can get off the ballot is to die. (Cafitz' point) Biden has to stay on the ballot as a place holder if for no other reason. Interesting point. There are many here who...
