You’re an even bigger shit. I know you don’t have no DD214 either.
Now let’s hear how Biden avoided it with asthma while playing college football according to him. How’s that work? There were points for draftees and bone spurs even today will keep you out as did being in college. Why would you dislike what’s happening? It’s keeping waders dumb ass daughter alive and allowing your missable life to not end as hot ash.

The war ended, and so did the draft. Besides, I drew a high number so I wouldn’t have been called anyway. And my plan was to join the Navy had the war not ended and I drew a low number.

And Trump doesn’t have bone spurs. It was all bullchit.

It’s March 16th. Happy Gary Plauché day.

42 years ago today, Gary Plauché shot and killed Jeffrey Doucet, the man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted Plauché's son. As Doucet was being escorted through an airport to stand trial, Plauché pretended to use a telephone booth. When Doucet passed him with cameras rolling, Plauché turned, shot Doucet through the head, hung up the phone and surrendered to police. The image posted above was from a live 1984 video feed, one second before the shooting.

Plauché told authorities that any parent in a similar position would have done the same thing, stating "if somebody did it to your kid, you'd do it too." He was sentenced to seven years, all of which was suspended and five years probation with 300 hours of community service. He never saw a day in jail. Shortly before his death at age 68, Plauché gave an interview stating he did not regret killing Doucet and would do so again.

About 23 million people enrolled in healthcare plans in the ACA marketplace for 2026, but an estimated 3 to 4 million enrollees are likely "phantom enrollees," Paragon Health found, describing them as those who are either fictitious or do not know they are enrolled in a plan. Blase said "unscrupulous" brokers and agents, who are incentivized to enroll people in healthcare plans, can enroll them without their consent.

Using data released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services last year, Paragon Health [found]('https://paragoninstitute.org/newsletter/dont-believe-ahip-improper-and-phantom-obamacare-enrollees-are-both-major-problems/?nab=1') that from 2021 to 2024, a growing number of ACA enrollees never used their health plans. In 2024, 35% never used their coverage.

Blase said that figure was suspicious, noting that "in a normal health insurance market, there’s about 15% of people that don’t use their health insurance in a given year."

The Heritage Foundation doesn't care. 80% of voters want it.

Agreed, 80% of American voters want voter I.D. Requirements. As I do.

Not nearly 80% of American’s support the SAVE America Act which is why it will fail to pass today in the Senate. It’s a loaded joke of a bill.

What's the issue, transwomen in women's sports?

Hahaha, even with that in the bill it still won’t pass.

There are lots of issues with the bill. The trans thing was put in there by Trump so that if the bill fails to pass he can go back to the Senators that didn’t vote in favor of the bill and let the public think “they are in favor of trans in women’s sports”.

The trans thing does not belong in the bill.

LOL, you could have just said yes.

Gee, I wonder who the uninsured drivers are....
******
Part of the reason rising insurance costs are hitting drivers like Mr. Rhodes is the steady growth in uninsured drivers. The number of people driving without coverage jumped to more than 15 percent in 2023 from about 11 percent in 2019, according to [Insurance Research Council]('https://insurance-research.org/node/130'), a firm that calculates data based on the relative frequencies of auto-insurance claims. JD Power, which surveys consumers about insurance trends, reported a similar increase in uninsured drivers in the second half of 2025.

Looks to me like a large portion of the uninsured may be the lower income, MAGA base.
