			https://www.star-telegram.com/opinio...264137281.html https://news.yahoo.com/texas-voters-...100000190.html Texas voters: You don’t have to like Democrats, but you do have to vote Republicans out Since Gov. Greg Abbott took office, my property taxes have nearly tripled. His administration wastes billions on ineffective border initiatives and turns away billions for Medicaid expansion. Through our property taxes, urban homeowners bear the cost of providing health care to the 18% or so of Texans who don’t have insurance. Independents and reasonable Republicans: You don’t have to be a Democrat. You don’t have to like Democrats. But you must vote for Democrats this fall to rid Texas of Greg Abbott and his wrecking crew. They’ve run Texas for 22 years, and they’ve run it right into the ground.

			I wonder how many missiles, rockets, bombs, etc. are in the bottom of the ocean? You always here about all these countries testing weapons. They all have to go somewhere.

			What about ships sunk while at war, pretty sure they had weapons that were unexploded when they went down.

 The bottom of all the oceans would be an amazing thing to see. And likely also quite depressing.

			Good read for my liberal friends here. Loved the intro - Trump wanted his military parade to be free of crippled soldiers - because he thought it would make him look bad. That guy definitely had his finger on the pulse. I can't believe the generals didn't honor his request! I don't like seeing cripples either, they gross me out. I prefer soldiers who didn't die or lose a body part in battle.

 I really liked Mattis... The military - Generals in particular - were put in impossible situations during his Presidency, but overall I think they handled it the best they could...as you would expect most Generals to do.  |
