wage doesn't cost jobs might want to have a chat with unions in Los Angeles. After pushing for a big hike in that city's minimum wage — which will climb to $15 an hour by 2020 — labor leaders now want an exemption for companies that have unionized workers. Why?

My own grandmother came over from Poland at the age of 15 (in about 1915) with her 3 YOUNGER brothers. I wonder if she was a "legal" immigrant such as it was in those days. I wonder if she was subjected to such nastiness and hate as we are seeing now. My other branch of the family was from Ireland, fleeing the potato famine, and we know they were demonized. My Polish grandma cleaned houses, was a governess, and eventually ended up with her own family and a nice house. She was a registered Repu ...

Was supposed to make me want to go over to the dark side (Trump), then that sure backfired for me at least. What? A bunch of old FBI guys hate Hillary (big surprise) and they are trying to screw with the election by feeding garbage nonsense to that eternally spewing idiot Giuliani (and other idiots like Rupert Murdoch, Fox News)? I can tell you this makes me even more determined to vote for Hillary. With all this talk of such corruption that all you Trumpies seem to think is going on, what th ...

Will be visiting my friend soon in another state. I wanted to rent a car but found the cost was much more than I had hoped. I have car insurance, they have car insurance. I called my insurance company yesterday. If I rented a car I would be covered but does not cover me driving another person's car. This is the situation: We wanted to travel to another city in the state and the friend does not want to drive. I on the other hand would be willing to drive. Has anyone ever put another person o ...

Just read about a woman who was to run the London marathon. The night before she started her period. She thought she could either wear a tampon or go without, to do so because she claims there is "period shaming." She went without. She said also did it for all the women around the world who do not have the products when they have their period and also she thinks some do not talk about it because of shame. I saw a picture of her after the race with her blood soaked pants. I have no idea what othe ...

This is an attempt to trump Trump. Trump and others have accused him of being too calm and too soft-spoken, so he is trying to prove and remind people that he has had a temper in the past --- perhaps before anti-anxiolytics? Please, people, you must go with Rubio. Will the Republican party wake up and realize the joke is on them soon enough. The pathology of the Trump and Carson phenom must be revealed. ...

"All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here. The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt. And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties..

In November of 2010 the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election; all 435 of them. One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand ...
