So this is for veterans who may be uninsured currently and ineligible for things like Medicaid or Medicare. If you do have either of those I think you can still get some level of help not sure how much though. And of course retirees have their own thing. During my health issues I found that I...

My wife is Type 2 and they tell me I am on my way. I have been cooking for her for probably 3 years now and have come up with some recipes that are tasty, low to no carb, no sugar, high in protein and not hard. You really don't have to give up flavor and good food. You just have to do your...

How's everyone doing? I see some familiar names on the front page. You may have noticed I've been gone a while. Been dealing with some health issues including a couple of heart attacks and all but losing my vision. However medical science is really pretty good if you can find a way to afford it...

Is ridiculous. The Pentagon gets almost 1.5 trillion over the next 2 years. The entire rest of the government gets 1.3 trillion. So the military commands more discretionary spending than the entire rest of the government combined including the VA by the way. Its completely out of control. It's...

For working class and poor whites to figure out they have more in common with working class or poor people no matter the color of their skin than they do with rich white folks? As a voting bloc if these groups could get past the wedges they would run things. They would command the policy...

So apparently Trump is turning to the Democrats to get an infrastructure deal going. Looking at 2 trillion in spending. Still have a lot of work to do on paying for it but Trump seemed willing, today, to have a serious discussion about it. So what do you guys think from a political standpoint...

So the DCCC, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, just put out a new set of rules for its vendors aka consultant firms. They say if you work with a Democrat who is primarying a sitting Democrat we will black ball you. They will not be listed as a preferred vendor and will not get...

Forgive my poor search skills if I missed an existent thread. It doesn't seem like we have a discussion thread going. I thought it might be fun to discuss games, mechanics, being the DM, whatever related topic might come up. I am currently playing in a longterm(over 2 years so far) partially...

We assume there is other life in the universe. Other intelligent life. But the question we get is so where are they? Why haven't we seen evidence of their existence? Well some new studies have an interesting response. We are the elder race. One study says the Earth was among the very first...

Didn't want to muck up the Father's Day thread with this. So I don't have kids. As long time readers know my wife couldn't have children and so it just never happened for us. Given her condition the last decade and a half may be for the best.  Twice today someone has wished me Happy Father's...

So as I have mentioned I have a D&D group every week. I am looking to put together a website for us. Already own the domain name for two years. Now I need a host. Obviously this won't be a huge site. There are a total of 11 player and one DM. Not looking to go commerce site or any of that...

Everyone is hopefully enjoying a day with those they love. Be they friend or family. And that is so important in our rushed world. As we are sadly reminded daily there are no guarantees that you will have time to say maybe tomorrow. So take that time today to love and be loved. With that said...

For the first time the Democrats have come out in unified support for a 15 dollar minimum wage. This is the party moving left on policy that a growing majority of Americans support. That 2/3rds of small business owners support. Raise the Wage Act is the bill they have put forward. The bill...

So Bernie has been doing interview vids on Facebook. I don't do Facebook but I understand they are very popular there. And as of last night they also started appearing on YouTube. Some great stuff. So for those of you like me who avoid FB here's the video's currently available. As I understand...

Prescient:   FDR never sent this letter. Because Eleanor won the battle before it became necessary for him to do so. He got his liberal choice for VP after her speech at the convention. But everything he says here applies to today. And you know I often wonder why do today's Democrat never...

I thought I would post some videos from Mark Blyth. This guy is the only one I see talking sense about the socio-economic situation we find ourselves in. I am starting with the Athens Live interview that went viral and really launched him. Interestingly even though he is talking mostly about...

So I've been doing a lot of talking lately about how we have to push past the wedges that the political elite use to curb our power. How we have to work together when we agree on a subject. So I've got an example. I think it would be fair to say i haven't been Clarence Thomas' biggest fan. In...

For the only government dept you can't audit. For the DoD that we know racks up 10s and 100s of billions in waste. What if we didn't? What if we said you know we spend way much killing people.for fun and profit? Our most active enemies seem.to prefer box cutters to billion dollar aircraft. We...

According to the Congressional Research Service, or CRS, that was the cost of keeping one soldier in Afghanistan for one year as of Jan 2015. I think we can assume a little inflation over the last two years and round it up to 4 million. 4,000,000 per year per soldier. There are currently 8400...

No this thread isn't about the great Simon and Garfunkel song. It's about where have people gone. Where have the principled Liberals gone? Certainly very few in the Democratic Party. Where have the principled Conservatives gone? Certainly very few in the Republican Party. Where have the...
