Doesn't she make a little over $170,000 in congressional salary annually? Not to mention the perks associated with the position that would be counted toward taxable income for any of the rest of us lowly peons. How is that downgraded to $95K?

re: The media hated Goldwater, so the U.S. got stuck with POS LBJ.

For some reason or the other, LBJ would send Dad an autographed copy of whatever latest book he had published. No idea why other than Dad must have been on some list of recipients they wanted to include. I ran across them once when I was digging through some of his boxes for something to read and asked him about them. I figured they'd be valuable with a presidential autograph, but Dad said they were pretty much worthless. All but one of them had been signed with an autopen and he wasn't certain which signature was real.
Had he lived into this era of politics I think he would have been surprised to see Biden used the autopen more than LBJ. Then again, maybe not. I remeber back in the early 70s when Biden was first elected to congress Dad rolled his eyes and said that Biden was probably the most corrupt one of the new class and that he was too stupid to hide it.

Now that you mention it, that does look more like a wypepo spearhead. It more resembles a metal spearhead rather than a flint spearhead, thus is it clearly not related to the indigenous peoples of the Americas who had not learned the ways of metallurgy (apart from banging out a few bracelets and ornaments) before the white man arrived.

Dad was a delegate to the DNC Presidential Convention in Atlantic City, NJ that year. He abstained from casting his vote for LBJ to be the nominee, but that didn't really mean anything at the time since his state at the time (West Virginia) got fully behind Johnson at the convention.
As soon as he returned to WV from the convention he started working with Goldwater's campaign. He said he had been completely turned off by LBJ and the Democrat party machine.
He remained registered as a Democrat for the remainder of his life, but he never once voted for a Democrat ever again.

re: politicians have been telling us the number of illegals in the US was roughly 11 million.
Posted by Swamp Angel on 4/17/26 at 9:11 am to Ailsa
I have my doubts as to illegals accounting for 100 million of our population. Take these census numbers into account:
1950: 151,325,798
1960: 179,323,175
1970: 205,052,000
1980: 226,545,805
1990: 248,709,873
2000: 281,421,906
2010: 308,745,538
2020: 331,449,281
2026: 349,040,000 (estimated)
Looking at the rate of growth since 1950 as each census was conducted, I'd be hard pressed to believe that 100 million persons counted in the census are illegals. However, I wouldn't find it hard to believe that the number may be in excess of 30 million.

re: California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens
Posted by Swamp Angel on 4/16/26 at 9:55 pm to loogaroo
I fail to see the problem here. It's Californians spending their own money to keep weirdo illegals from procreating by performing what Rush used to call "addadictomee" and "choppadicoffamee" procedures.
By all means, let them continue to sterilize the invading armies of illegal pervs.

I was about to get snarky for a moment when I saw that comment until I realized who posted it. I shall hold my tongue and avoid making a fool of myself by stating the obvious as you have shone the light on it. Hall is indeed QUITE culturally different from Dekalb and Coweta.
Hope all is well with you over in Gwinnett. :cheers:

Dekalb is essentially Atlanta. I'm currently sending crews out to a movie theater project over in Dekalb. I advise them to carry if they are legally able to do so. The "good" neighborhoods in Dekalb are not in Atlanta proper, but those that are in Atlanta proper or adjacent to it are most definitely NOT neighborhoods you want to be in.
And let's be honest, Decatur, Chamblee, Clarkston, etc. are as much Atlanta as Harlem or Brooklyn is NYC. There is no definitive line of demarcation.

When we get back home to Georgia after one of our company trips out to Montana we'll frequently walk the entire distance to baggage claim from whichever terminal our gate was at. A significant portion of that walk is dedicated to the continent of Africa insofar as decor and messaging goes.
Atlanta has been a lost cause for several decades at this point. Between 1979 and 1981, 29 young black boys (adolescents) were murdered. Everyone was looking for the racist white man who was out killing all these young black children. There are still people around here who are upset that the murderer, Wayne Williams, didn't fit the narrative they had offered.
It's not all race-based any more though. They'll take up any "progressive" cause that is detrimental to the well being of our society just so they can wear the banner of social justice warrior for completely contrived offenses across the board.
