Swing state GOP looks to go around Dem governor, put Texas-style border bill before voters
An Arizona push to work around Gov. Katie Hobbs and put tougher immigration laws in front of the voters to decide cleared a major hurdle in the state Senate.

"The governor has openly said the border is not secure. She’s said the federal government’s failing us, the Biden administration’s failing us, but unfortunately, it’s just words," Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen told Fox News Digital. "She hasn’t proposed anything, she hasn’t given us anything for the border."

Petersen’s comments come after an Arizona Senate committee approved the "Secure Border Act," or HCR 2060, on Wednesday, coming one step closer to putting the question in front of voters this November................

IMHO those dying have a right to try any 'medication, substance or food'.  What is it going to hurt??? At the very least it gives them some sort of pleasure at the very end.  Live Life!

Editorials / Re: My sitcom Mount Rushmore
« Last post by libertybele on Today at 06:42:46 pm »

I read this, and this is one of those FUN CATEGORIES one can spend hours recollecting all the sitcoms/comedy through the years one enjoyed.  So I did.  And in keeping with your approach to attempt to list one show per decade, and reviewing countless lists of the TOP 100+, I was surprised how many shows through time existed that I never heard of.

So here is my list:

The Radio Era
I also enjoyed Amos & Andy.  Your other show was before my time, so clearly, you are a few years older than me.  But my choice for this era, which you did not mention, hands down The Three Stooges.  As a child, they were on every day Monday through Friday, week in and week out for all the years of my youth.  My mother hated them.  My father, he would sit there and laugh with me at almost everything they did.  No question, The Three Stooges was a guy's show.  Even my present wife, she doesn't get them, at all!

The 1950s
Hands down, a classic.  I Love Lucy.  No competition for me, and in a league all its own. Honorable mention for George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.  Burns was a hoot for me in just about everything he did.

The 1960s
While there were light hearted comedies in the 60s, I recall Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie.  If I had to pick, I suppose Bewitched would get the slight edge.  Honorable mention for Hogan's Heroes.  I was never a fan of the shows you had listed for the 60s with the exception of The Dick Van Dyke Show, which had its moments.

The  1970s
I thought MTM was on the boring side.  Happy Days was ok.  At the top of my list were All in the Family.  Honorable mentions would include MASH, WKRP, and Mork & Mindy.

The 1980s
Another true classic, The Golden Girls.  Excellent show.  Never cared for Bill Cosby, always thought there was something peculiar about him.  And Cheers, it was ok. 

The 1990s
No doubt the 90s had some HUGE comedies, but I did not care for a one of the ones you mentioned with the exception of Married with Children.  And it had its yuks.  But Friends, Seinfeld, etc, major yawn for me.  I never considered Seinfeld funny.  Crammer, sure.  And Murphy Brown, double major yawn.  It was super boring for me.

For me, something not on your list, but near and dear to me.  Home Improvement, with Tim Allen, who had me on the floor laughing hard, and it was perhaps the one show I enjoyed with my wife and children sitting there laughing heartily too.

The 21st Century
Office was boring for me.  Watched a few episodes and never saw the humor.  This period would include two shows I enjoyed.  Last Man Standing, once again with Tim Allen, and merely a reversal from a group of sons to a trio of daughters.  Another I enjoyed was Two and a Half Men.  I enjoyed both equally and it would be difficult for me to pick one over the other.

Top Candidates

The Three Stooges
I Love Lucy
Bewitched
All in the Family
The Golden Girls
Home Improvement
Last Man Standing
Two and a Half Men


My Mt Rushmore

All in the Family
The Golden Girls
Home Improvement
Two and a Half Men
(since I selected Home Improvement as a finalist, I chose Two and a Half Men, but it could have easily been Last Man Standing.  I think Tim Allen is one of the best comedians of my lifetime)  And as luck would have it, he is conservative, and provided what I consider light political humor, and not the crap of an idiot like Bill Maher, whose humor is NOT humor any longer.  That fool hasn't made me laugh in a decade!

I had forgotten about "Two and a Half Men"; it was a great show until Sheen was recast with Kushner.  The show then truly tanked.

MASH was really good, until it became the Alan Alda show in the 80's and became unwatchably leftist.  Now I never watch reruns of MASH.

I never liked MASH and I remember when we were just married and living in an apartment, the apartment complex had a 'MASH' night in the club house to watch the final episode.  I've never watched an episode since, and I couldn't stand the show from the beginning -- hubby used to watch it.  I was relieved when it ended.

Don't hold your breath.  Americans are not going to convene a damn thing.  You end up in prison if you balk at election outcomes.  That is what January 6th represents. 

We are but a step away from the soviet style of governance, where you are lined up and shot.  Or worked to death in a labor camp, and last but not least, the Chinese form of re-education camps.  Just a step away.

Democommies are indeed the single greatest existential threat to the republic, which in reality no longer exists.  We all  live in denial and want to believe we still exist as a republic.

Not only is our republic gone, but now we are actively working to destroy nations that are our allies.  What Wrecking Ball Joe is doing to Israel should trigger an immediate impeachment, without six months of twiddling thumbs.  I mean, out right now!!!  His cackling sidekick too.

Good post!!!  :thumbsup:

OK, folks, I'm gonna ask it one more time.

If the presidential election is stolen (again) in 2024...
...and if most everyone KNOWS it has been stolen...

Not going to happen.  The idea that you could convince "most everyone" that the election was stolen is impossible. You already have at least 40% of the country convinced that any Trump victory could only come about through cheating. Those people are not convincible at all.

And of the rest, at least half (including myself) do not believe there is sufficient evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.  You basically are assuming that the rest of the country will apply the same standards you did in 2020 in concluding that an election was stolen. Like I said, that is not going to happen.

The idea that Democrats aren't even going to even try to hide cheating is just a fantasy.   They will always deny it.

Maybe the Jews need to repeat a little American history to deal with these scum :whistle:

Since the nineteenth century Jews have been involved in organized crime all over the U.S. Some of the most famous mafiosos including Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, and Mickey Cohen were all Jewish boys who grew into some of the most influential underground figures we know. These activities flourished during Prohibition, as many became deeply entrenched in bootlegging, gambling, and murder.

Sounds like terrorists to me. Remember when the FBI cared about such things?
Remember when the FBI really was for the most part like portrayed in the Efrem Zimbalist Jr show The FBI...Ok at least they weren't so public about their corruption back then :whistle:
