Honda still has a great reputation for reliability and efficient gasoline engines. It is too bad they went all in on the EVs and ignored the warning signs that consumer demand was limited. Of course, they probably feared that many jurisdictions would outlaw internal combustion engines.

“...pedophile behavior without physical wounds is being normalized...”

The LGBTQP movement are groomers. That is why they want to change the term pedophile and use something they think is somehow less negative: “Minor-attracted person.”

DeSantis is the best candidate on the horizon and has the Florida achievements to prove it. He ran a poor campaign earlier. Next time he might just run a great one.

If one visits the Governor’s house in colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, one will see walls lined with flintlock muskets and walls (plural) lined with flintlock pistols. I remember our female tour guide stating, “This is what happens when men are allowed to decorate.” Of course, the Governor’s house had extra quality arms for militia musters as many laborers might not own a suitable weapon.

Brilliant comment. I wish my adoptive state of Alabama will follow my native state of Tennessee on this June business.

“...He’s not a perfect Christian regardless of his position. People need to just take a break. He hasn’t lost my support one iota...”

Of course, we would still vote for him over any known Dem potential candidate. But gee, supporting Orban the longtime corrupt leader of Hungary was a bad look and immoral. Rolling out the red carpet for Putin, the quarter century dictator and war criminal, in Alaska was immoral and a bad look. Telling Zelensky to give up territory to appease aggression is immoral. And to tease ignoring George Washington’s universally praised “two terms and no more tradition” is a very bad look. And none of this will help the GOP in the mid-terms.

I’ve been in a few Buc-ee’s and haven’t noticed the Overbites as I’m usually only picking up BBQ or Brisket sandwiches. Now we have a Buc-ee’s near Auburn’s campus, so I’ll give ‘em a try. Thanks for the info.

Ha! Order chocolate at Christmas and not on Independence Day.

Hershey should never have outsourced anything. Even though cocoa is not an American product, peanuts and other basic ingredients are grown here.

When I was a kid there were more candy companies and more true variety. Now we have many varieties of Snickers but less real choices. Back in the day, Mounds and Almond Joy were produced by Peter Paul. Baby Ruth and Butterfinger were produced by Curtiss. Paydays and others were produced by Hollywood Candy Company. Now the giant corporations control candy to a greater extent.

Lesser-known bars like Zagnut (A Hershey product) and Goo Goo Clusters (Nashville’s Standard Candy Company) are still available but not as common.

“...It was an insult to the European families who lost their sons in a war fought in response to an attack on the United States...”

Trump also insulted all the non-Russian member states of the Soviet Union when he praised “Russia” for “winning” WWII. Ukrainians, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kazaks, et al were a gigantic and decisive part of the Red Army.

“...Cunningham noted that, like him, the ultra wealthy Jagger did not avail himself of the British socialized medicine or the much-praised Cuban health system...”

But that didn’t stop Mick from lamenting the mean spiritedness of America when Repubs are in charge.

Putin is the bloodiest dictator since Pol Pot. Zelensky is the greatest statesman on the world stage. Zelensky’s recent visit to front exposed Russia’s lies about controlling Kupyansk. Zelensky makes regular trips to the front unlike the quarter century dictator of Russia who is bunker bound. Cowards may call him a “grifting dwarf” but real men admire Zelensky.

The companies, the Lib Dems, and the whole Democratic Party are responsible.

And Trump doesn’t help much with his full throttle support of massive legal immigration from China and India.

The muzzles are thick in Moscow too.

“...her children are ‘Ivy League types,’ well-intentioned but naive...”

Just like the children of so many White conservative parents. Academia is still a Leftist cesspool and that is true of over 96 percent of universities coast to coast. Charlie Kirk was a threat to Leftist dominance on campus.

You should at least hope that the asteroid would spare Gutfeld and company.

Oh, be honest. It is not a “NATO/Ukraine-Russia War.” It is a NATO/Ukraine-Russia/North Korea/China/Iran War.

You are wrong as usual. The eleven-time-zone country of incompetent drunks, pigs, and apes is getting its teeth kicked out by the one-time-zone country of patriotic brave people.

Most Russian speakers in the Donbas don’t want anything to do with Moscow rule. That is why the Ukrainians gain much more from human intel and not just drone observation.

The Ukrainian military is much more efficient and capable than the Russian army. Ukraine’s deep precision strikes are destroying the Russian economy. Locally, the Russian summer offensive is a colossal failure that cost a shocking amount of casualties and netted the invaders no new lands.

The Ukrainian Cossacks have always been tough customers.

The Unitarians believe whatever the Hollywood trendy set believes. The local Unitarian Church in Auburn, Alabama always puts out protest signs whenever there is an execution in this state. They have the Black Lives Matter jazz too.
