  1. I'm for the next Dem President knocking down the Ballroom monstrosity and expect the same corporate donors to pay again to build something appropriate.
  2. Great point especially in that Russia already certainly dictated their terms to the US and is most likely not open to any real change including limited US/Europe enforcement of any "restriction" from Russia.
  3. I will be surprised if they openly challenge Schumer but I've heard some suspect that Schumer's apparent agreement of the retiring senators re-opening the govt, as signs that he's stepping down as leader if not retiring.
  4. I'm considering the Blink camera due to the simplicity of a battery operated camera and a relatively small monthly subscription cost. $4 for 1 camera, $11 for unlimited. Cameras are not free. I don't have a security issue but I imagine that I will mainly see cats, raccoons or possums walking around at night.
  5. If a peace deal is about to be signed, you might as well throw everything to harm Russia as much as possible in any remaining days. The number of casualties has been horrific but I'm unsure that the US has ever had such an successful war in terms of exposing and damaging an enemy without the loss of American military. Not to mention that its greatly increased the use of drones in combat that we should be able to be a leader in this technology as well.
  6. I'm far from a Cornyn fan and would crawl through broken glass to vote against him but I don't want to see Paxton be our senator. For the actual votes in the Senate, I don't think it matters much if Cornyn or Paxton win but I don't want to see Senator and Texas next to Paxton's name.
  7. Is this when they announce that her pregnancy will be 11 months so Charlie is the father.
  8. For item 4, we could see a similar playbook. Something like 5 major insurers are onboard with the new Trumpcare: UHC, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS and a new insurer that formed out of Dubai last week.
  9. Trump is rumored to be unveiling his ACA replacement strategy today. Only years behind schedule from the GOP. My guess is that he's fallen in love with the name Trump Health Savings Account so that will most certainly be included. I'm sure he's annoyed of the term ObamaCare but of course that was considered an insult by the GOP in that Obama was hijacking the healthcare system.
  10. I recall the old days when Shipley's had undocumented workers and their families living at their kitchen compound in the Heights. Late 2000s, IIRC. I think many were deported and the owners paid a large fine.
  11. Based on the world post-Trump, there is non-zero chance this guy is our future President. He has the gift of gab, and the Right could be convinced of anyone if the candidate falsely embraces Christianity and promises to punish others.
  12. bump. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/24/doge-doesnt-exist-with-eight-months-left-on-its-charter.html When asked, the WH agreed that DOGE no longer exists. Did it accomplish anything but create chaos and unnecessarily scared govt workers that they were going to be fired, if not prosecuted for fraud.
  13. Which version of camera do you have? I was noticing that Amazon has Black Friday deals with the Blink outdoor 4 cameras.
  14. Unsure this has been mentioned since 2022 but construction is finally under way for the Terry Black’s BBQ and a boutique hotel at his location on Shepherd. The old used car lots on shepherd are almost an extinct species these days.
  15. Surprising development that as the Heights/GO/Oak Forest have become almost overly expensive, it’s become much more younger overall with families with small children. The amount of strollers in GO has to be at an all time high. It’s especially concerning seeing all the strollers being pushed on Alba in rush hour now that Alba is seeing more traffic due to shepherd and Ella being so crowded for nearby commuters. I’ve always thought it was criminal how the older element in GO fought against Alba sidewalks and won that fight. Home value > safety.
