There IS a difference.
People who speak Italian can understand Pavarotti. People who speak Spanish have no freaking CLUE what Bad Bunny is saying.

re: So, do we actually want Puerto Rico to become a State?
Posted by Swamp Angel on 2/9/26 at 11:54 am to Nole Man
We got Puerto Rico from Spain as a result of the Spanish-American War. We acquired the Philippines the same way.
On July 4, 1946, we granted independence to the Philippines. I think we ought to do the same with Puerto Rico. They need to be a free nation rather than a US territory, and most certainly should be granted independence rather than bringing them in as the 51st state.
I would much prefer American Samoa be our 51st state over Puerto Rico.
Bottom line - We don't need another perpetually impoverished state added to the union just to hand over three more seats (2 senate and 1 house) to the Dems.

I'm here perusing the Poli Board at 8:00 (EST). I really have no interest in watching a bunch of millionaires throw around a ball and play a game on TV. Even less interested with the road the NFL has taken of late.
Much more interesting and worthwhile things to be found here in the forums.

Every single election that a republican loses was sToLeN and you’re whining about other people’s outrage?
Cross yoru legs tight and try not to piddle on yourself when I remind you that it was your Dems that first claimed an election had been stolen by way of "Russian Collusion."
The only reason they made such a claim in the 2016 election was because they thought they had done what was necessary to quietly have the votes they needed appear in places that iy would not be suspected as they placed Hillary in the White House. What they failed to realize was the way the electorate deeply disliked her (to put it nicely) and showed up in droves to keep her out of the White House.
Your Dem friends are still shrieking about non-existent Russian Collusion.
I don't dislike you and I don't want to call you any names. I simply fear that you have been very misled for a long time and it's going to be hard to break out of that glass box.

I think the whole point of walkouts is that they aren't allowed?
That was certainly the case back in the mid 80s in most instances, but these days it's the teachers instigating these mass walk-outs from school to protest some perceived social injustice or the other. Very distinctly "Astro-turf" rather than grassroots.

He's a 20-year-old political science major. Right there is the problem. That department is LOADED with Lefties and he hopes to do a fine job of impressing his professors with what he's "learned" from them.
According to the link provided below, possible careers for political science majors include:
Community affairs coordinator
Community organizer
Lawyer
Municipal manager
Politician
Regional planner
I have seen a lot of Barack Hussein emulators lining up for this degree lately.
LSU Find Your Major (Political Science)
I have my degree in PoliSci from LSU as well, with minors in Russian and German languages and an emphasis on Soviet foreign policy. I was planning on a very promising career in the Army and later the State Department. Then the Soviet Union collapsed right about the time I graduated and there wasn't quite the need for emphasis in those areas of study, and I hadn't even considered Arabic, Pashtu, or Urdu languages, culture or policy. Needless to say, I have enjoyed a very rewarding career in construction management since that time.
By and large, the majority of those who majored in political science were borderline unhinged leftist kooks (even back in the 1980s). It has only gotten worse since then.

She can't bring a lawsuit before the Supreme Court on the matter since she has no instance where she can show "injury". However, if she makes it a pain in the arse for anyone wishing to carry in DC, then those who are denied that right can show injury and bring the case before the court to challenge her ruling.

Best case I can figure is that she's trying to force SCOTUS to make a hard and fast ruling on the 2A. Possibly trying to get intentionally overruled and national constitutional carry (mandatory reciprocity at the very least) to be established as the basis for any further rulings on gun restrictions.
That's "best case."

re: Is a Four-Year Degree Worth It?
Posted by Swamp Angel on 2/4/26 at 6:23 am to NC_Tigah
I'll second the sentiment of lshuge. The value of a college degree is highly dependent upon what course of study that degree entails. A degree in architecture, engineering, pre-med/med, veterinary sciences, computer science, etc. are all very much worth the effort and financial investment. A degree in political science, recreation, or the all encompassing degree for people who just want to "college experience" known as General Studies are generally not worth the time.
To be brief: A Bachelor of Science degree beats out a Bachelor of the Arts degree every single time. Unless you plan to teach or go in to the legal profession, a BA isn't worth much more than the parchment it's printed on.

Both parties have changed over the years…
The Democrat Party has remained unchanged and staunchly socialist since at least the days of Woodrow Wilson. The only change has been that they have become very open about it lately. The Republican Party, however, has changed and become more of a "Democrat Party Lite" as opposed to a party that aligns with Constitutional principles.

Massie is an enigma, though. Sometimes he has great stuff like this, and other times he just goes off the reservation. I'd like to see him displaying this particular personality with more regularity.

Well, it's about damned TIME those who claim to be conservatives ceased negotiating and ceding ground to the Left. Never ONCE has the Left backed down from what they have wanted. The only thing that keeps the Left from getting absolutely everything they want is a slightly conservative majority on the Supreme Court. The elected representatives and senators have done f*** all to adhere to constitutional limits and principles.
