Not just the battles. Read any of the diaries of women from the south about their experiences during the Civil War. If they don't convince you of the horrors of civil war, nothing will.

Well, that's no danger since BandAids now fall off three minutes after you put them on.

Don't believe anyone who tells you voting doesn't matter because they cheat. Three years ago, we all got fired up in Virginia and lots of conservatives voted. We took the governorship, lt. governor and attorney general, took the House and darn near took the Senate. Should have been able to take the Senate his year. INSTEAD, lots of conservatives sat on their butts and didn't bother to vote. GOP turnout was abysmal. We lost the House and failed to take the Senate. (BTW, all the gun guys who turned out three years ago stayed at home, so now the only thing standing between us and a slew of new gun control laws is Youngkin's veto.) Whether anyone likes it or not, exercising your right and duty to vote is still important. BTW, yeah uniparty, but we still have zero options to turn this around without the GOP. That means getting active and turning the GOP around too.

Do a little research on the "study" involved in this claim. It's ridiculous.

One thing to watch for with the Total Beets chews. I haven't checked to see if this is true for the tablets too. At Walmart, the Total Beets Blood Pressure chews and regular beet chews have the same number of chews - 60. But the blood pressure chews look like they have twice the amount of super beet superblend. However, that's for two chews, regular ones it has half that amount but it's listed for for one chew. Pretty darned sneaky since the blood pressure chews are $5 for the EXACT SAME THING.

I'm sure we are. While I was researching our family, I learned my then sister-in-law and I were distant cousins. We're both descended from a brother and a sister (my family) who married a sister and a brother (her family) in the 1700s. Another friend found her ancestor and her husband's ancestor came to Virginia on the same ship in the late 1600s. Neither my SIL nor the friend had any idea their family had ever lived in Virginia.

Same here, through his brother who lived in what is now West Virginia, via my grandmother's family. Also 5 times great-grandfather was a Revolutionary War soldier and was at Yorktown.

Perfect response. And the frog IS the handsome prince. No turning into.

LOL Get lost child.

I ignored your question rather than tell you why I don't buy a particular news source is none of your business. Nor is why do any of mine.

And look at what they've done.

I would never post anything that others would have to either pay or give their private info to see. Period.

I'm not giving Epoch Times my email in order to read this story.

"When was this country last attacked and in actual threat of occupation?" That depends on what part of the country you live in. Some of us live in states that were attacked, occupied and devastated in war in 1860-1865. Sounds like you'd say my Confederate great-grandfathers fought for their country. A lot of people would disagree.

I know. It's a quandary. Actually, I'm sure there are good Democrats but I'm not voting for any of them. They undo any good intentions by voting in lockstep with their commie cohorts. I'm just fed up with the "they're ALL uniparty" drones.

His legs are prosthetic. From his bio on his congressional website page, emphasis added. He apparently served in both US Army and IDF:

Prior to his election to Congress, Brian followed in his father’s footsteps by serving in the U.S. Army for more than 12 years, earning medals including The Bronze Star Medal, The Army Commendation Medal for Valor, The Purple Heart Medal, and The Defense Meritorious Service Medal. While deployed in Afghanistan, he worked as a bomb disposal expert under the elite Joint Special Operations Command.** The last improvised explosive device that he found resulted in catastrophic injuries, which included the loss of both of his legs.**

So we can put all the evil, crazy ones in NYC, no problem. Except for the ones getting a rest in Gitmo.

They're not going to bring Trump in. Wish they could. Bongino said the other day while there's no rule saying the speaker has to be a House member, the speaker must sign all laws passed by the House and has to be a House member to do that. I just LOVE the idea of Biden having to negotiate with Trump over the budget. heh

No problem and no need to apologize. I knew you couldn't edit so I was just letting people know he wasn't speaker yet. I hope he makes it.

Headline on post is wrong. He's not speaker yet, unfortunately he's quite a bit short of what he needs to win on the floor.

Anyone who says all politicians or all Republicans are bad is a political idiot. Look at anything else they say with a grain of salt.

Even here there are people who think there would be any scenario in which Trump would pick a liberal as a running mate. That's very disheartening.

Air guns?

I bought me a nice, big dehydrator a couple of years ago. I dried everything I could get my hands on. Used to can quite a bit but dehydrating is so easy and takes up less storage space. Canning reminds me so much of my late mother, though. So many days in her kitchen when I was a kid helping her can tomatoes, green beans and making homemade preserves.

Apparently the Garden Watchdog hasn't been updated since Dave left. It has a lot of listings for places that no longer exist. I've ordered from both of those. Both are sold at a local nursery so I don't order. Another terrific catalog that sends huge packets is Seeds from Italy. Lots of interesting Italian varieties. I love that I can find heirloom seeds and even plants at local shops now. I remember scouring catalogs to find some.
