    Congress should signed a deal with UFC, now most here could not watch it as UFC has a deal with Bud Light, and drinking Bud Light is not American.

    I do give Dana White credit for running his company his way and not the herds way.

    and if you want to talk interest rates

    In 2020, the average rate was 3.11%, and it may be a while before rates go this low again. As of the final week in September 2023, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was above 7.3%, with the potential to rise even further this year.

    Not sure who Manchin thinks he's fooling, and I hope it's not many on the right. He is not as "moderate" as he is making himself look. He was/is a blue Senator in a red state, of course you are going to be moderate, if you want to keep your seat anyway. If he was in a blue state, he'd have shown more of his true color. He wasn't so when the right had the votes, he was allowed to vote against his party to save his seat, mostly on 2A matters. He may be a bit more moderate on the fiscal side of matters, but that's about it. That is one reason I liked having him in his seat after the 2020 election and hoped he'd switxh sodes of thebaisle. He played to his constituents, he didn't stand for them. He had to keep his seat, so he had to play the middle, when he was allowed to. Once it became obvious he was not going to win his next election he bailed on them, he didn't try to change his views and fight for them he took the easy way out.

    Now he's trying to play the 3rd party card, but even as a lame duck he can't vote as such because he has higher aspirations and still has to cater to both sides. Should he win, you'd see the real Manchin values and beliefs. I'm just wondering who's votes he's trying to take away from deciding whether he should run or not.

    Manchin is still a Democrat, he will continue to be one, he will support most if not all Dem policies ..

    AP FACT CHECK: Manchin, Sinema do not vote with GOP more

    While Manchin and Sinema have indeed been more likely than other Democrats in either the Senate or House to cross party lines, it’s not true they vote more often with Republicans than with fellow Democrats. And they haven’t done so in Biden’s presidency. So far, they’ve aligned with Biden 100% of the time.

    Biden is a disgrace, how many strokes have been covered up from the American people?
