I installed high-end stainless steel cabinets in my former home and was disappointed at the endless problems with water spots, rusted joints around the doors, and overall coldness, both in winter, when they retained cold, in the sounds they emitted, and in "feeling."
Phony poor people!
Thanks for the update.
In defense of the grandparents, the child care center they funded appears to be a memorial to their daughter. The wording of the web page is strange: it says "a living memorial", so it isn't 100% clear whether that means the daughter is still alive, but I take it to mean that it is a place for living children in memory of a deceased daughter.
When you figure what the average grandparents of means spend on their daughter and her children, the idea that they would instead give these funds to this church, which already has the real estate available, to supplement the tuitions at this nursery school does not offend me. I think it's a generous and useful way to remember their daugher.
Especially if they are also helping their son with their other grandchildren's tuitions, I just don't see why the grandparents should be targeted here, so much as their son, who has planned poorly for his family and now that his children have special needs, feels entitled to lash out at the president over not getting even more aid than has already been generously supplied by so many other sources.

Excellent work, sir, you have singlehandedly shown how fast and loose the so-called guardians of the free press are with facts, and how they jump when their liberal masters tell them to.
My kid went to school on Saturday for sports and activities. Sunday, too.
Shouldn't that be "Yass'm"?
I understood your point about the cabinetry and had the same thought: the guy probably built them himself and already had the equipment. He may even have had some scrap materials.
As for farting in the forum, the Viking kitty did that. Eww — fish kibble!
If she did then it would be her choice and a clear reflection of their priorities. The facts revealed to date clearly show ample opportunities and resources to secure health insurance for the entire family. It just isn't a priority to them and why would it be when they can get some other sucker to pay for it?
Great job, icwhatudo! Clear, concise, well researched and well formatted. Simply centuries ahead of present day journalism.
The Democrats have held up a no-need case that did get welfare, as somehow heart wrenching, to argue for increased welfare. That's the story.
I commend the grandparents.
What I am getting at is that the family, had/has more resources than they are letting on.
Frankly, I think they are gaming the system. I feel they are tax cheats, somewhere.
In my previously life as a chef I would say yes. Commercial kitchens are virtually 100% SS. Cleaning is very easy. Infact you don't need any fancy cleaner, regardless of what SS appliance makers say. Plain old water with clorox in it is all you need.
Now, there are some disadvantages unless they are purpose built. Just a straight sheet of stainless won't work. Cutting boards slide all over. What you have done is get cutting boards made to how you want them for where you want them and have SS 'pegs' welded to the countertop and holes drilled in the cutting boards to match them. They won't go anywhere.
Plus, if you really want to have fun, do from the countertops down stainless, get a tile floor, and have a couple drains put in the floor. Then you can clean the kitchen with a hose!
It's all about what your time is worth. If you spend 200 hours in the shop building cabinets for yourself instead of a paying customer it means you want a new kitchen more than health insurance for your family. The profit from one typical kitchen job would be about enough for one year's insurance. The Frosts decided that comfort/status was worth more to them than security/health.
I am foursquare behind the liberty to make that choice. Just don't whine that others are unwilling to pay for the things you don't care that much about.

What is the relevance of that? That, in combination with their choice not to have health insurance, shows how low the health and welfare of their children is on their priority list.
That may sound like a cold indictment but asking the taxpayers to feel sorry for them and then hand over their money is even colder. Were they waiting for a government program to buy them child seats?
greed, questions about the accident only diverts attention from the main question of whether the Halseys needed SCHIP and whether they misrepresented their income and assets when applying for it.
Agreed, questions about the accident only diverts attention from the main question of whether the Halseys needed SCHIP and whether they misrepresented their income and assets when applying for it.
Somebody needs to get in Hillary’s face and ask her why SHE is exploiting the Frost family, when they are such a perfect example of what’s wrong with ‘Hillary care’?
Evidently yours did not.
I agree with you. There only relevant question WRT to these people is should folks who chose not to get the insurance they clearly could have afforded be subsidized when they lose their gamble?
