    Was out for dinner this evening with a state congressman and a delegate of regulatory folks. it was very interesting dinner conversation, mayor of shreeveport stopped by the table to say hello. They all asked me what the hell is going on with Minnesota. I will be honest sitting at a table with them I was thinking how did I get here, and I did not pick up the tab, there was no tab evediently. And yes I will speak at your next confrence.

    State Farm and Farmers have pulled out of Florida. What’s the cost of a local insurance company there?

    Insure has only gone up slightly since the last storm, got lucky was spared damage. 5 year plan wife will spend the winter and I will visit between trips work etc. Look for places on the gulf side north of Sarasota, if you like to fish, relax and be low key

    Man Niki Haley just rubs me the wrong way. I have never much cared for Pence either. Holy hell don't get me going about Christie. I hope all three drop out soon.

    Political elites vs a guy trying to save his country amidst a slaughter.

    You're not a troll, you're a fool and a tool. Guess that combined can almost make you a troll, but still lacking that r, maybe retard but you wouldn't find that politically correct either. I don't say the word retard to attack special needs, I use it in it's Meriam Websters definition:

    retard

    2 of 2
    noun
    re·tard
    pluralretards
    1
    ri-ˈtärd : a holding back or slowing down : RETARDATION

    2
    ˈrē-ˌtärd offensive : a person affected with intellectual disability

    3
    ˈrē-ˌtärd informal + offensive : a foolish or stupid person

    Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retard

    I believe you fit the bill on all, especially 3.

    The same outrage you you always fall back on, school shootings, lack of humility, lack of empathy is also created by your showing of support and display of wealth on where you throw your money to.

    Where the eff word do you think that money you throw out to your feel good beliefs goes? You think it goes to school safety measures to prevent a school shooting? You're a fool if you do. It goes to one political entity to spread to another political affiliate to get nothing accomplished on the issue at hand. Truthfully, this can be said on both sides of the political aisle, but money cannot fix ethics and moral decency of the human race.

    You want to flaunt your wealth on here as taking the moral high ground supporting those that claim to support and defend our youth, yet most of these tragedies occurr where your "prevention money" gets distributed and tragedies occurr. Congratulations.

    You chastize and poke fun at those that do not see to your views and beliefs, then try to belittle them for calling you out on the same concept.

    Do you really think bringing this Trans chick/dude Mulvaney into the education system is going to help matters?

    Do we, as a nation, really need to cater to and pander to the all of a sudden mass push for non-binary equality? Where did this all come from, Trump? Seriously, this is one of the most impactful and take the nation by storm issues I have ever seen. Being gay/lesbian and afraid to come out has been an issue for probably my entire life, but this nonsense we are seeing with the Trans fad is completely outrageous. They're coming for our kids? How much of your money is going to that sick and twisted movement?

    Money helps you hide from reality, congratulations again.

    Just remember, not every American family can afford to send their children to private schooling and live remotely away from society. Does your wife teach in a public school or is she shielded by the private school?

    You're right though, don't get angry. Just throw money at the problem and not know where it actually goes.

    Maybe if Poroshenko & Zelensky didn't shell the Donbas for 8 years since 2014 killing 14,000 including 500 children; if Zelensky abided by the Minsk 2 ceasefire instead of increasing the shelling on that region, if Zelensky signed the peace agreement in April 2022 & ignored Boris Johnson telling him not to sign, then his countrywould not be in the state that it is. Keep watching CNN for your daily dose of lies & bullsht

    read how the CIA spent $6 billion on their coup in Ukraine in 2014 to overthrow the democratically elected leader (where the EU said by Ukraine standards, he was voted in in a fair election considering Ukraine being the most corrupt country in Europe). apparently the French & German politicians who were guarantors for the agreement (Merkal & the French) have since admitted the Minsk 2 ceasefire was a scam to give the west time to arm, weaponise, train and fund the Ukraine military by NATO to NATO standards all with 1 goal - go to war with RU. their goal? get rid of Putin & install a pro western puppet so the west could rape RU of its oil, gas and mineral wealth. Obama had been sending UA missiles while Prez all the while denying it. Now that NATO have failed they are getting ready to throw Zelensky under the bus like they do to all leaders when they no longer serve their purpose - bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Gadafhi (there's more but I cannot remember their names). NATO - after not being required since the end of the Cold War can now justify their existence because of this war they are responsible for. They must now get ready to go to war with China, a country they have now surrounded with military bases. I watched some CNN online - what a disgrace (& MSNBC). I thought journalists, esp US journalists, have their creed of hard hitting journalism where they report the facts. Thankfully we get more reliable news in the Republic
