Not to mention Russia now owning 50% of one of our largest mineral mines! WHo’d of thunk! We are being sold out on the International Market piece by piece...and they are definately buying!

The fruits of statist collectivism.

Behold the second fall of Man.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

"I’m reading Atlas Shrugged right now and it is prophetic. If you haven’t...READ IT."

You're late.

I read it when I was 20 in 1963.
(BTW, it influenced my whole life)

But as always, the government cuts the meat first and never, ever touches the fat.

My solution? No free schools, hospitals or food for illegals. None. If they want their kids to go to school, or have medical care, or eat, they have to pay for it.

#17 The sheriff's department in Ashtabula County, Ohio has been slashed from 112 to 49 deputies, and there is now just one vehicle remaining to patrol all 720 square miles of the county.

Then why have 49 deputies....if they only have one patrol car?

I guess they have a Co. jail to run????
