  1. Well, he and Hunter have stolen all of the oil for themselves and are price gouging everyone at the pump is the way I understand it to be.
  2. I also think this “not prosecuting the president” once they leave office norm in the United States was based on the president actually not being a criminal that did criminal acts while in office. Trump kind of changed that “norm”.
  3. The Rosemary Old Fashioned is pretty tasty at the Fairmont Banff Springs. Go bowling across the street for some fun.
  4. I don’t know if someone or some group has been in charge of the Republican talking points and rhetoric over the last 20 years but if the Dems were smart they would pay that person billions of dollars to help them with it. Every time the Dems try to push out a talking point it doesn’t work and sounds kind of hokey. Biden saying “ultra MAGA Republican” over and over again, Adam Schiff seems to say the word “scheme” when talking about Jan 6 and Trump but he says it over and over again like the Dems sat in a room and said, “hey, if we keep using the word scheme then everyone will think Trump was scheming and we will win all those voters over”. I am a Democrat but man they are so bad at selling their side of the story to the American people it is frustrating to watch.
  5. Dude, I was smoking weed when I was 12 years old so I am not against it but a lot of kids these days are different than when I grew up. Not just him but a lot of them really don’t “party” like the old days. I know a few kids he knows do smoke but the crowd he hangs around are nerds. Play soccer all the time, go to Kumon after school to study type of kids.
  6. You referring to my kid? No weed or drinking. He is just a nerd but he does have a girlfriend so not a total nerd.
  7. I think the only solution to your issue is to steal said pony from someone else. That way it's free and you get it immediately. That's all I got.
  8. He has a passion for playing X box. We thought he would be interested in engineering based on how easy math and science have always been to him but he said no bueno to that. Now he is saying maybe business (not accounting) or computer sciences. My wife feels that if you are going to be in computer sciences you need to be doing coding and shit by his age but I don’t think that’s true. My nephew was kind of a f up (but a good kid) and he graduated from FSU with a computer science degree 4 years ago. He just turned down an offer from Amazon starting at $300K+ a year so he must be doing something right. The only Texas school my kid says he is interested in is UT Austin but he won’t get into business school I don’t think with few extracurriculars on his resume other than golf and I am sure as hell not sending him there to get a Liberal Arts degree like my parents were dumb enough to do with me. The History major didn’t help me much in life but I also turned out OK financially. Mentally not so much.
  9. Joel was an entrepreneur and a go getter at least. My kid, not so much.
  10. My son starts his Junior year of HS in a few months. The wife and I are trying to get him to think about colleges but he has no idea what he wants to do for a profession or what school he wants to go to. I am curious who will accept him as he has never not gotten an A in any subject (and he never studies) and most of his grades are 97 to a 100 in every AP/Honors course his school offers. He will easily be in the top 20 out of 400 students in his class at a 5A school. He hasn’t taken the SAT yet but I am sure he will get in the 1400+ range at a minimum. Here is the negative. He is lazy and won’t do any extracurricular activities, join any clubs, charitable work, nothing. Hell, he was too lazy to join National Honor Society because he didn’t want to do the volunteer stuff. He is on the varsity golf team and that is it. We have been telling him he needs to get that other stuff on his resume but my wife feels at this point its too late and he is screwed when it comes to college.
  11. I love watching the pros get tested in US Open conditions. It’s the best tournament by far for me. I also loved seeing Rahm’s shot in the bunker on 18 that hit the lip and came back down. Makes me feel better about my game because i do that like once every round.
  12. Seems like he played the game right. Doesn’t do shit yet still gets the throne.
  13. I took out a addendum on my homeowners policy. Problem is I can’t replace the watches based on what I insured them for and what the crazy prices are now for the same watches.
  14. His tweet below that stating Ginni Thomas is a great American is worse.
  15. I switched to Fox and it was Tucker interviewing a guy about Biden’s war on menthol cigarettes. WTF
  16. A few more to add..... and what may be the best song off of one of the best albums ever made.
  17. It pains me when my kid puts ketchup on a hot dog and not any kind of mustard. I am a bad parent and feel shame for that. I do love an egg roll with Chinese hot mustard mixed with duck sauce.
  18. This is why I have all my money buried in coffee cans in my back yard.
  19. Just got back from a conference at the MGM this week. 4 days is too much Vegas for me especially in June when its 108 degrees. Hit Craft Steakhouse a few times at the MGM which was pretty good. The Wagyu skirt steak was pretty fantastic. Best part was the group I was with threw a 90's party with Ton Loc, Young MC, Rob Base and Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray). I enjoyed that which I guess shows how old I am.
