Many/most Congress Critters fly home on weekends. I would really like to know how they pay for this. Do they legally raid their campaign funds?

I this for sure. No way is that semi-bag lady looking Sheila Jackson Lee paying this out of her Congressional salary.

“John Kerry’s favorite statement “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??”

My instantaneous reply would be, “No... OH WAIT, are you the guy who played Lurch on the Addams Family in the 60’s?”

I'm seriously thinking about driving for my next business trip.

One airport I travel through is a smaller one and one TSA gubment employee there thinks it is up to him to save the world.

And in that part of the country 90% of the people flying are as white as the background of this website.

Depends on where the flight originated and where it’s headed. For 2nd tier cities, first class is often wide open with very few seated there. Large cities, it’s booked solid and has been for months, as you say.

A friend of mine, in the 'burbs of Chicago, started her current teaching job of elementary ed, about 17 years ago.

She has her Masters + 15 extra hours and had 5 years experience. They started her at $55k

Her dad was a HS teacher at a highschool about 1/2 mile from her grade school. He retired with a pension over $100k a year.

From the Daily Mail: She says that she didn’t ask for the seat or anything else. It will be interesting to follow this story.

The Hispanics don’t vote in large numbers because many of them are illegal aliens. And yes, there is voter fraud. Without it, SJL would never have held this seat for so long.

I’m waiting for blacks to come out with a ban on black shoes because it downtrodden’s them since you’re walking in them and grinding them into the ground as you walk. Or something like that.

If things don't turn around we will not be able to grow cotton or watermelon in the U.S.

sYeah, I know who you are. You're the American hating POS that carried water for our kenyan born muslim coke-head twink president.

So FUJK. (sorry, his name makes my blood boil)

1 of a 1000 examples:

John Kerry’s Mideast idiocy

John Kerry turns out to have been even more of an idiot than we’d thought.

Recordings have just surfaced of a speech the then-secretary of state gave in Dubai last December — where he explained that the failure to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is . . . Israel’s fault.

“The Palestinians have done an extraordinary job of remaining committed to nonviolence,” he said — ignoring that fact that the Palestinian Authority rewards terrorists (“martyrs”) and their survivors with cash stipends and has its schools teach Jew-hatred.

And Hamas, which rules Gaza and is now once again partnering with the PA’s Fatah leadership, doesn’t even pretend to believe in nonviolence: It’s dedicated to Israel’s destruction and to atrocities against Jews.

Kerry also complained that “the majority of the Cabinet currently in the Israeli government has publicly declared they are not ever for a Palestinian state.” Actually, most simply won’t support one as long as Palestinians refuse to accept Israel’s right to exist.

The secretary even managed to ignore his own experience: Kerry spent months wringing concessions out of Israel for a possible peace deal — only to have PA chief Mahmoud Abbas reject the draft out of hand, and refuse further negotiations.

Sadly, President Barack Obama fully shared Kerry’s “up is down” denial of reality. No wonder their leadership left the world in such a mess.

And any remarks against her actions will be labeled racism. It'll be "United did it not me"
