Phony Joni is showing that she's...Phony Joni

I apologize for not having a link but i just saw this on local news.
Good old tougher than nails Joni Ernst has sppken up about the on campus protests concerning the Palestinian situation. And what she said wss some blathering nonsensical bs.
"Maybe employers should put up signs saying if you have a degree from Harvardfrom UCLA, maybe that employer shoud say. 'YOU ARE NOT WELCOME TO WORK HERE!' Ah Joni. Please be quiet and stop showing us how (stupid) tough you are and try actually governing. As an Iowan i am ashamed of statements like that.
The quote above isnt exact but that is the gist of it.

A person cant even have fun in this country

It seems that we cant even have fun in this country anymore. Fans gather for a celebration of their teams championship, a shooting happens. People go to a concert in Vegas, a shooting happens. People go to a nightclub in Orlando, yep, a shooting happens. Not to mention many schools, department stores and every other place getting shot up.
Around here, there are several businesses that have "no firearms allowed" signs on the entrance door. This fucking madness has to stop.
And i am not anti gun, but i am anti semi automatic guns. Weapons of war have no place in everyday life.

What happened to this once great state?

We are bordered by Illinois. Bluer than blue, Minnesota, fairly blue, and Wisconsin, which has problems but is at least purple. We won't mention Missouri or Nebraska. But anyway, there are plenty of progressives near here. But this state is deep red. It's almost like we sank into a wedge between Alabama and Mississippi. I don't like it. We've had some decent Governors, although not for many years. The Democratic party has no real candidates for Governor except maybe Rob Sand. Maybe. Our dictator, er, governor and her cohorts are waging war on education, women's freedoms, poor people, immigrants, and on and on. I used to love this state. But not anymore.
Sorry if I sound like Danny downer.

Finally! I've discovered why the women's soccer team lost!

Are you ready? This is huuuggggeeee!
The reason team USA women's soccer team lost in the round of 16 is....



Because they didn't play good enough. Now that took a lot of painstaking research to uncover that fact.
No, actually it took about as much research and brain power as saying that they lost because of "wokeness" like most of the anti American crowd was saying.

Sometimes there just ain't any justice.

Ok as I'm sure everyone is aware of, the Powerball drawing has reached unbelievable heights. So naturally a lot of people are playing, including us. No real expectation of winning but we can afford $2.00 every now and then to buy a ticket. We'll, the guy that lives two houses north of me played and miraculously won a million dollars. That's $1,000,000. Yes, that's a lot of money. And when he got interviewed by local media he said all the things one would expect. Going to fix the house, help out the grandkids, etc. All well and good. Now here's where the injustice comes in. This guy is a hard core trumpite. His yard and house had and has trump garbage everywhere and he wears that damn red cap every time I see him anywhere.
It should have been a Biden backer who would donate to good candidates and/or causes. But nooo, it had to be a trumpite. Well I guess there's no reason to complain. He just got extremely lucky and I hope he enjoys the money. But damn.... A trumpite. Just doesn't seem fair.

Ok I'm sort of an idiot

But could someone please tell me how to post videos in here? As I said, I'm a low tech guy in a high tech world. Thank you for the information.

Deafening silence from the nra

It is my understanding that Hunter Biden can no longer own firearms as a result of the charges against him. And from the nra...crickets.
Ja Morant, a (superb) NBA player just got a 25 game suspension for stupidity, er, flashing a gun in a video. As far as anyone knows, the gun(s) in question was legally obtained by Morant. And yet...silence from the nra.
Could it be that Biden is the son of the PotUS and that Morant is an African American? Could that be the reason the nra has said nothing publicly to support either man's "2nd amendment rights"?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that if Don Jr. or a Caucasian basketball player had the same situation, the nra would be screaming like crazy. Just sayin'.
