The Message Forum is an ongoing dialogue among classmates. The goal is to encourage friendly interaction, including interaction among classmates who really didn't know each other. Experience on the site has revealed that certain topics tend to cause friction and hard feelings, especially politics and religion. 

Although politics and religion are not completely off-limits, classmates are asked to be positive in their posts and not to be too repetitive or allow a dialog to degenerate into an argument.

Law professor, Jonathan Turley, said, "Biden's statement that he had no regrets about recent events revealing the mishandling of classifled documents, was the most daft statement he could have made."

Daft.

Yep!

That's our Commander and Chief!

Sleep well tonight, if you're able.

Janalu,

Did you see the slobering love fest between Biden and Harris? I thought he was going to go over to smell her hair. And Biden declared Republicans to be fiscally demented. The words pot and kettle come to mind. (I won't use the whole phrase because it is clearly racist.)

Do you think Dem operatives are trying to undermine him, knowing that the Republicans can block most of the stuff that they and he would support. That is, they know he isn't fit to serve another term, which he would presumably finish at age 86.

Why can't these people get off the stage and make way for the younger generation -- people in their 60s??

The FBI has found more "classified" documents in Bidens Delaware home.  At least one dates back to when he was in the Senate.  Biden has said he knows how to handle classified document

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

David,

It's beginning to look like the Dems are possibly trying to get rid of Biden by foisting the document findings fiasco on him with ever increasing frequency and heave-ho pushes.  Usually they try to stop the obvious truth with some kind of diversionary tactic, but this time, it's looking like they are allowing the story to continue to fester, so to speak.  

They won't step aside for other younger folks to step up, because they can't stand relinquishing their dictatorial power of the last two years.  The power is addictive and allows for the heady experience that they love!  Also, they think that the Republican platform is extremely bad for the country, as well as lacking anything meritorious for progress.  They have always thought of us as ignorant farm hands, having no elitist education equal to theirs.  And they think conservatism holds on to ideas that limit our people from seeking progressive goals.  They want to ignore the Founders dreams of what this country could become; those stuffy, old-fashioned ideas based on Christian ethics.

I hear that Gov. Hairgel from CA is hoping to see Biden put out to pasture soon, so he can charm our public with his successful spiel.  Now he's a real winner, eh?

David, funny post on "Big Daddy" (I think I read something about that)

I can remember the media criticizing Sonny Jurgenson one time when he grew his "paunch" in the middle (in his later years) The question was something along the lines of: "Sonny, are you in shape for the season?" (this while gazing at his mid-section) Clearly irritated, his words were: "Well I don't throw the ball with my belly!"

Once I did some business with Herb Scott (#68)All-Pro guard of the Cowboys. It was just before the weekend they were to play the mighty NY Giants....led by Lawrence Taylor. I said, "what's your game plan" "For me its don't let 56 get to the quarterback!"

I read a book about Landry and his long memory. He was playing for New York (before coaching there) and their game was against Pittsburgh, who had a smallish but hard-nose tackle named Ernie Stautner (later united with Tom to coach defense)

Apparently, Stautner broke Landrys nose during that contest.

Now years later, when they were on the practice field behind the old Days Inn off LBJ, Coach Landry was staring......even glaring at Ernie the whole practice! When practice was over, Stautner ran over to him.....clearly 

uneasy about it, Stautner said: "Coach is there something wrong? You've been staring at me through all of practice." With arms folded, Landry said, "Ernie I remember that time you broke my nose!" (I guess he was letting him know, " dont mess up!") Ha!

Wait 'til next year.

Vice President Harris at a pro-choice event quoted the Declaration of Independence as promoting the rights of "liberty and the pursuit of happiness", omitting the word that comes before liberty in that passage -- life.

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

These PRO abortion people like to think of the developing BLOB of cells in a woman's uterus as a nothingburger, which is a despised inconvenience to the woman.  But they like to omit the fact that each creation developing, is a beginning human with a soul given it by God, and when this beginning God-blessed creation is sucked to pieces in a clinic of illrepute, or even. possibly, in a foul setting of someone's shack, the tiny God-blessed body's soul transports immediately to Heaven to be forever loved and cherished in that Heaven with God.  Thank goodness for love and merciful rescue.

The evilness of abortion will/does have consequences, most definitely.

Please excuse the frankness of this post.  I realize it is distasteful and very sad.

Wayne Gary

Janalu,

Accirding to the pro-abortion group womens helthcare depends on abortions.  Also they act as though aportion is the only way a woman has control of her "reproductive rights".

They ignore all of the choices a woman has:

1: when and where and who to have sex (not including rape)

2: use of condoms

3: use of birth control pills

4: morning after pill

5: IUD

6: surgical procedures.

All take a back seat to abrotions.

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

True, Wayne.

Sex outside of marriage is considered recreation nowadays, and Christian teachings are considered old- fashioned or irrelevant to many American citizens.  The morals most Americans used to have are now faded, and our society is suffering because of our sinfulness, as predicted and seen in other failed societies.

David,

I wonder what "no there there" means?

Wayne,

It means that Biden has looped his own noose.

Jana/Wayne:

What I don't understand with their logic is that Republicans are denying health care because they are denying abortions. The only time this (in my mind) would be health care is if the woman's life were in danger by completing the birth. Health Care is 99.9% and abortion is less than 1%.

One thing that I don't understand about Joe Biden is that he's supposedly a strong Catholic. Abortion is diametrically opposed to the Catholic stance (and basically it should be the Christian stance) on abortion. These days, most of the time, abortion is used as a convenience item only, not as a health care or life-saving option.. (IMHO)

Batch Of Classified Documents Found On Walmart Clearance Shelf

Jan 23, 2023 · BabylonBee.com

SMYRNA, DE — Biden is once again embroiled in scandal after yet another box of his classified documents was found on the clearance shelf of a local Walmart.

The top secret documents were seen next to a $1 clearance bin filled with DVDs of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's documentary on the Green New Deal.

"The investigation into President Biden's misplacement of classified documents has reached a tipping point in which our agency is unable to cover for him by blaming Trump," said FBI spokesman Herf Derfler while agents hauled off boxes of classified documents from the location.

"We're poring over security footage," continued Derfler, "While we cannot divulge much, we are seeing video evidence that Hunter Biden frequented this location to make random purchases of pseudoephedrine, ether, paint thinner, ammonia, drain cleaner, and batteries. Totally random buys."

At publishing time, President Biden had made a visit to the local Walmart to assure citizens that the investigation of classified documents was over, then donned a Walmart vest and began greeting customers entering the store.

David W.,

WHen liberals say that abortion is women's healthcare, they are using word trickery, of sorts.  They associate abortion as giving heathcare to women, when actually, they are allowing abortion to be offered, legally, to women.  They are saying that caring for a woman's health needs to include abortion, rather than telling women to be responsible and choose to NOT NEED ABORTION by either abstaining, or using birth control methods. They ignore religious tenets completely; too negative and restrictive.  They think that women should behave however they choose and have abortion as a means for elimination of an unwanted pregnancy, and call that healthcare.  They say women will go to awful places to have abortions and risk death, so abortions HAVE TO BE INCLUDED in a woman's heathcare plan.  They know it is a lie.  But they want you and I to pay for the service of killing.  In instances of rape, incest, or a woman's dire health issues, which are rare, we have had, in the past, allowances for those particular instances.

Biden is a good Catholic?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

These are my opinions, not necessarily humble at all.

Jim Bedwell

David C,

I said it about Dez Bryant and now I'll say it about Dak Prescott: He will NEVER be a champion.

We need a new QB. We need a new head coach. We need a new general manager.

And what was that final play with Zeke the sole interior lineman, i.e., the center and ineligible for a pass as he hiked it to Dak - everybody else lined up not far from the sidelines on the 2 sides?!??!!?! What IMBECILE came up with that ABSURD play?!?!?!

Like I said before the season, despite the really GREAT roster for the Boys (last year's was also excellent on paper), the best they can expect is 1 victory in the playoffs and then will follow elimination. And that's the best for ANY season under Jerry Jones until we act on our 3 needs I just listed - ROTSA RUCK on that last one - the general manager. I just wish we could get Sean Payton for our new head coach but Jerry's not smart enough to figure out that Mike McCarthy is, in my estimation, no better than mediocre Jason Garrett. Too bad our excellent defensive coordinator will likely be a head coach somewhere else next year. I think the Cowboys lose 2-4 games every year that they could have or should have won if they had an excellent coach and general manager.

Jerry gave lucrative contracts to Jaylon Smith, Zeke Elliott and Dak Prescott. I wouldn't have given contracts like that to ANY of those 3, whereas I think I might to Pollard (hope he'll be back next year and as good as he was this year).

David Cordell

Jim B.

I share your frustration. Very disappointing. On the positive side, the 'Boys were in the last eight of thirty-two teams, and they were in the game even after losing the explosive Tony Pollard.

Here is a very cool flyover at a Chiefs game.

Marty Fulton

Jim, you are missing the point.  Once T Aikman retired, due mainly to multiple concussions (thanks, Buddy Ryan), Jerry Jones decided that winning wasn't the point.  Making money off the name 'Americas Team' was.  I used to think the media made up that name, but since Jerry never objected to it, I can only wonder.  So, once a team, or it's owner, loses motivation - the result is predictable.

Dak lost the game because he got blitzed and didn't have an answer for it.  I heard McCarthy was calling the plays (on the internet).  That's nonsense.  Kellen Moore blew it, which is why he is interviewing for the HC job for the Panthers.

Make yourself happy watching replays of the last 3 Super Bowls the Cowboys won.  That's what Lowell does....

Jim Bedwell

Marty,

I do believe the BIGGEST problem with the Cowboys is the general manager. Those 3 contracts were inexcusable. And Jerry will never fire himself and get a real general manager. Whatever his motivation, he's not as brilliant as he sees himself. Like his son said, "Nothing will change around here until Jerry Jones has a toe tag".

Lowell Tuttle

Without play action, they could not find anyone open.   The running game is what allowed them to have open targets against TB.   It was not as easy against SF.   I felt they should have run a bit more after Pollard went out.   Any success at running would have opened some receivers.   Note the first play of the game for Dallas that went well.   T Y Hilton.   He should have been in all along.

Jim Bedwell

Lowell,

All your Cowboys comments confirm in my mind that we need a new head coach. Also I won't be sorry if our play caller Kellen Moore leaves either. Can you imagine what Bill Belichick could have done with last year's or this year's roster? And I agree that T.Y. Hilton should have been involved more in the game.
