I haven't wondered at all. It is quite evident, with or without the dog whistles. Since all of us except for Native Americans are descended from other countries, no matter how long ago, it is absurd. White or not, every other nation have different traditions which we've assimilated over time.

Her 15 minutes of fame are up; she needs to be fired from journalism and find a job more suited to her abilities - maybe she can be a call girl, or a checker at WalMart.

I'll stick with my EV. Every time I charge at home it costs $6.00; my hybrid sedan cost an average of $30 to fill up. The bonus is that the EV I have now is lot more fun to drive.

He has he facts wrong (shocking, I know.) The Cuellars were accused of onspiracy, bribery, money laundering, and acting as an agent of a foreign principal. Pretty much the same crimes that the Melendez's are now both in prison for. Nothing to do with immigrants or the border.

I've had several MRI scans. I always knew what they were for, and what part of my body they were looking at.

That is NOT "Thanksgiving Dinner," not by a long shot. Pitiful!

I didn't need reminding about this; your reporting along with others, told me everything I needed to know. A journalist with a U.S. major newspaper is murdered and mutiliated; CIA said MBS ordered it, and Trump said it was maybe his own fault? Despicable.

I had every one of those albums and played them to death. In 1968, I saw the Doors at the L.A, Forum - great concert!

I’ve been pretty impressed by him so far; it seems like he may be for real, unlike most of the others of his generation.

As a lifelong Democrat who worked in politics most of my adult life, it is my intention to donate to the primary opponents of all of the Senators who joined with the Republicans today. ALL OF THEM. Party unity is a two-way street, and these Senators went the wrong way on the street. They're done.

Of course they support it; it allows for a meaningless vote to extend ACA subsidies in the Senate, where 60 votes is impossible. Trump gets everything he wants and he keeps his ultra-rich buddies happy.

They may HOLD a vote, but there isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that it will get 60 votes, and these Dems who are caving know that full well. They are simply giving up on insuring that health care is available to most people. Many cannot afford the increases and will just lose out. This is wrong.

This woman craves press attention - everything she does is to get the press to cover her. Maybe they should simply ignore her; it will drive her crazier.

Charlotte, a blond long-haired Dachshund, is 15 and loves sunspots. Her younger siblings, Belmont & Staci, were hogging this one, but her 15-year-old self scooted them aside and grabbed her space. Everyone was happy!

I agree that a lot will come out about who was actually running the White House given his obvious mental defects but I have a caveat - IF he actually leaves office on January 20, 2029. I don't believe he will; I don't think we'll even have an election in 2028.

It's late October! Most of the country is heading into winter; hard to grow anything when it's freezing and snowing.

My bet is that he's expanding and "improving" the bunker already below where the East Wing was before he illegally destroyed it. He'll need someplace to hide when the people rise up against his goal of remaining in the White House as a dictator for life.

Too late; he needs to drop out of this race. Collins needs to be defeated; this guy is not the person to do it.

Pro tip: he's not going to give it to any charity. He never does. He will pocket that money; he believes that he will never have enough money.

That's insane; I'd love to see what he bases this crazy theory on! We split from Britain because the founders hated the King. Maybe he should read the Declaration of Independence next time he's at the White House to pray over his orange god? It's right on the wall in the Oval.
