Message Forum

Welcome to the Richardson High School Message Forum.

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. 

Forums work when people participate - so don't be bashful! Click the "Post Response" button to add your entry to the forum.

MTG has a mind of her own and I would not like to be in her crosshairs for an attack. I've seen her get very emotional. I think most conservatives that I know don't have a problem to speak out against Trump on any issues if they feel strongly about them. If you recall I did not vote for him in 2016 nor Clinton. There are personality traits of his that I don't like, ie his brash New York ego attitude that rubs many the wrong way. But, he is not there to win a personality contest.

As far as the district federal judges that have been overstepping their jurisdiction to impose injunctions against the Executive Branch, I agree with Trump and so did the Supreme Court. But that hasn't stopped them from still filing the injunctions, despite what SCOTUS said. So I disagree with you on that one. It is just a ploy to slow Trump down. But, when challenged they mostly all get ruled in Trump's favor. To me it is a waste of taxpayer money to keep getting away with all of the frivolous filings.

Hot here in Asheville, 91 today. We usually only see about 4 or 5 days in the summer that are 90 or above. A/C today for sure!

Today the Senate Parlmentarian ruled the section about the courts is not permitted and must be striped out.

On Jan 6 Trump askrd about having the National Guard ready and Nancy P vetoed the call up.

When I took my young child to the doctor for a measles shot, he cried. He thought it was my fault that he had pain from the needle. Looking back over the years, though, he never thanked me for the fact that he never got measles.

That's how I think of the bombing of the Iran nuclear sites. Trump haters, and a few on the far right, scream that bombing those sites was bellicose. Will they ever say, "Thanks for keeping Iran from having the capability to start World War III"?

By the way, Pakistan nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating peace between Pakistan and India, two nuclear powers.

I for one believe President Trump did the right thing...bombing Iran's Nuke facilities.  He didn't start a WAR, Jan.....he did a precision strike to prevent Iran from starting WWIII.  Iran is not responsible enough to have a Nuclear Weapon...they would destroy Israel in a minute if they could. Take note that Israel is striking "military targets" while Iran is hitting neighborhoods, schools & hospitals inside of Israel.....big difference. The Iranian people need to wake up and take back their Country.

President Bill Clinton had the opportunity to destroy the beginnings of Iran's Nuke program...but didn't.  He also had the chance to eliminate Osama Bin Ladan (sp)...but he didn't. Had Clinton done so, 9/11 would never have taken place...and ALL of those people who died that day would still be living (as well as the children they would have brought into this world). The big difference between President Trump and most of the other U.S. Presidents is....Trump is a "leader".....the others were "Politicians".

I just read on the news...that President Trump stated that IF.....Iran tried to harm him in any way, he would have IRAN wiped off the face of this Planet. For me, IF Iran harms or kills ANY U.S. citizens here in the U.S. or any of our military personnel stationed in the Middle East....it would be time to just destroy everything in Iran - but avoid the Iranian people & their neighborhoods.

Interesting to read that Russia's Putin stated that Russia could maybe give/sell a NUKE to Iran.  Really? OK, Putin, then, the U.S. will send The Ukraine a dozen or so NUKES......would that be OK with you?  The Ukraine can't be trusted with a NUKE anymore than Iran can. A lot of other Nations can't be trusted to have a NUKE either.

My hope is that the Israel Air Force will continue hammering military sites inside of Iran......and also, go ahead and take out their Oil Refineries & Oil Tankers. As long as the current regime in Iran stays in power.....Iran will be a threat to the entire World...not to just Israel & the United States.

Iran says they plan to block "The Straits of Orman" (sp).....it's only 2 miles wide where Oil Tankers can get through...and that's where 1/5 of the World's Oil passes through.  I believe that's "International Waters"....don't think Iran has the right to block it.  The U.S. Navy should stop them...and trust me, they can. 

And I agree with David....I believe that President Trump deserves the "Nobel Peace Prize".....as I believe he stopped a potential WWIII.....2 times, by negotiations between Pakistan & India......and by taking out Iran's NUKE program.

Also, speaking of bombing, I thought George W went into Iraq just to finish what his dad started. I'm still not sure it had anything to do with 9/11. I think not. I think it was personal. BTW, that economy one day will return. They are sitting on the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world. I'm not saying for sure in my lifetime. The Iraqi Dinar was stronger than the Kuwaiti Dinar. The last I checked the exchange rate was $3.27 US for 1 Kuwait Dinar. I hold just over 3 million Iraqi Dinars. Doubt I will enjoy the exchange rate, but my kids and grandkids will. You, too can buy them. The key to exchange them is use the US authorized bank/s for the exchange. You don't want uncalled for fees from non sanctioned banks. At this point Chase and perhaps Wells Fargo will be the two authorized US banks. That's still speculation from people much more in the know. Any bank can do the exchange, but watch out for the fees. DO NOT BUY the Saddam Hussein version.

David, I think when we go in bombing , we need our eyes wide open . I hope it is the case with this Iranian bombing. We shall see.

Wayne, Trump pardoned all those who violently stormed the White house. Period. Whether it was pelosi's call or Trump's call back then , it doesn't matter for this conversation. He still has pardoned violent offenders.

Bob W, I don't disagree with bombing Iran. I hope it was the right time and they hadn't already moved out uranium stuff . As David said, Obama did the same thing as president. I think many presidents have said Iran should never have nuclear capabilities, ever.

I never said he has started a war . That remains to be seen . I remember when there was a sense of relief that he was going to give Iran 2 weeks ...and diplomacy was the tactic and give our troups on the ground over there time to prepare . who knows , time will tell .

900 lbs of uranium is unaccounted for.

Please answer why the 26 FBI paid informants who also participated in the take over and riot on Jan 6th did not get arrested? They were disquised as Trump supporters and also broke in creating havoc. How did they not get arrested at least? I'm sure you are aware of them, yes? That's a bad look for the Dems and truly downplays the outcry that rings a little hollow now.

NO what? Do you mean you are not aware of the 26 FBI informants? Just google it. I thought everyone knew of it. NOT FBI agents, but paid informants. 17 entered and 13 of those entered restricted areas. To date none have faced arrest or prosecution. How does that happen? I can go a lot deeper. I am sure now you are not aware of the videos now released by independant reporters from that day who were there filming it all and have shown the CCTV exposing the lies of some of the Capitol Police. One wrote a now known ficticous book on the day's events. You should see the videos and how some of the Capitol Police lied to the public. It is all out there for anyone to see. The author lied under oath to Congress of Jan 6th events and his total involvement. The book is called "Standing My Ground" and it was written by officer Harry Dunn.

I can't tell you what to think or say, but do a little research, you may find you've been lied to and you bought it!

BREAKING NEWS just now as I am posting. Israel and Iran have agreed to a total and complete ceasefire!!!

JERRY, actually the OKC Thunder won another championship WAAAAAAY back in 1979.  Technically, they were the Seattle Supersonics at the time, and when they moved to OKC, became the THUNDER.  I believe I watched the final (game 5) of their series with the Washington Bullets.  They played at the Seattle Center Coliseum (near the Space Needle) most of the time, then, used the KINGDOME for the playoffs.  Reason: more seating capacity - even though most of it was through the used of portable stands for seating. 

Also would like to congratulate President Trump and the US Air Force for acting decisively, and effectively, to  eliminate the imminent threat by Iran to obtain Nuclear Weaponry.  In 1984 and 1985, I worked in the Northrop Grumman IT department, writing and testing software for the B2 Stealth Bomber project.  With my background in FORTRAN, I wrote code for the Flying Wing guidance system.  It had to do with the 'Auto PILOT', not the payload direction control.  It took a while, but the Gov't finally put some of them to good use....

Too bad I left NORTHROP for Hughes Aircraft in 1986, just to get a decent pay raise.  Looking back, after all the job changes, I realize that NG was the BEST job I ever had. Great supervisor, Good Manager, and got along with almost all my co-workers.

It was  former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev not Putin that said Russia would supply nukes ti Iran.

Jan:

When Trump ordered the Guard to L A he was critized for not ordering the Guard to DC before Jan 6. They fogot that Trump offered to call up the Guard but Pelosi rejrcted the call up.

Jan,

Tommy lies about his actions.  He complains he got kicked off this site and claims he would never do the same. He has kicked me off his site twice. The last time was for posting a Youtube he posted showing him becoming Sue which has now been erased. Also  posted about him using Ron S for posts When I mentioned he could be acused of Idenity Thrft he changed the spelling.  He vio;ates his own rules and does not like being reminded of the rules.  He lso stated he would kick anyone off he site if they said anything positive about Trump od quoted the Bible because in his opinion the Bible is pro Trump.  I bet he does look at this site then complains about what he reads.

Sorry couldn't reply very well before, had to run..... and not to ignore you ... but no, I really am not up to factual speed on the FBI agents and their role in the Jan. 6th.  Can't talk like I know it all.  I only keep hearing about it from you.      

My ultimate point is there were pardons for all that were indicted.   

I close my active engagement for awhile..   :-) have to go fishing.

My log in and saved RHS 1969 site links don't work properly, but if I keep at it, it seems to skip my log in attempts and my security attempts, and logs in.

I did update my cache a couple of times recently.   I suppose all is ok...

First time I tried my saved link to this site this morning goggle chrome advised me it was not secure.   I tried again and clicked log in unsafe anyway, and I got in...Then, my saved user name and passwords didn't load...but when I tried again it did.   Weird.

It does show HTTP (S) in my task bar address at this time.

Nothing to say....just reading...

Many Dem politicians like dumbbell AOC are advocating impeachment of Trump for his taking out Iran's nuclear bomb development.

There are just a few things that merit impeachment, namely treason, bribery, and other high crimes & misdemeanors, ALL of which Biden could (SHOULD) have been impeached for. Trump is guilty of none of those crimes.

And Trump DOES constitutionally have the power & right to do what he did Saturday night. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison & John Jay, explain the intentions of the founders found in the language of the Constitution. FNC's Emily Compagno has researched what Madison said in the Federalist Papers concerning this. Madison stated that the founders changed the Constitution's planned wording from "make war" to "declare war" when specifying that it is the US Congress which declares war.

Thus, according to FNC's commentator, (registered Democrat or at least he used to be) Law Professor Jonathan Turley stated that of the 125+ military actions taken by the US in the years since 1789 (when the Constitution was approved), only 11 times has Congress declared war. All the other approximate 114 times+, it has been the Commander in Chief aka the President who has chosen to "make war" without a declaration of war, including Jefferson's actions against the Barbary pirates AND actual (but undeclared) wars like the Korean War & Vietnamese War!!

It would be SO nice if our national politicians, especially the TRULY AWFUL Dems, could read, understand and adhere to the founders' intentions found in the Federalist Papers and manifested in the Constitution's wording. DUH!

FYI IRAN Update

Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran has just been addressing the world on conditions there. He is calling for a revolution against the Cleric Terrorist Regime.Israel forces have killed most of the leaders. The Supreme leader is hiding in a bunker and chaos is erupting in the streets of Tehran. Parts of the military are joing the revolution. 80 % of Iranians are for peace and western culture. This regime has been in force since 1979 with the Iranians storming the US Embassy and holding our people hostage until Ronald Reagan negoiated their release. We are watching history in the making. Pahlavi is wanting a quick end to the revolution and the time is now, stating there is no better time than right now while the Regime is severly crippled. Pray for peace and change for the better of the world. Pahlavi will be a good ally to Israel and others in the region.

If people are having trouble getting through to the site because of a message that says the site may be dangerous, I may have to pay for a security certificate. The site is perfectly safe, and it annoys me that I have to pay money for a certificate.

Let us know how much the certificate is and I'm sure we would all be happy to chip in for it. Everyone, is that okay with you? I'm in!!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett drops bid for influential post on House oversight panel. She wants to impeach Trump  to use as a weapon to fight against Republicans in next years elections.  The Dem leadership felt she is too abrasive.

David.  I don't know what I'm talking about.   But, you need to have the https certificate.   A web hosting company (class creator?) includes that in their fees to you.  I used GoDaddy for a while and then Zwave (which is an insurance web hosting company.)   My son told me that when he builds a website, he arranges for the hosting using "server pilot."   The fees for the https designation are passed through to the website cost.  

So, I suppose you could exist without the security certificate, but, IMHO, Class Creator shouldn't even let you exist without pricing in the security certificate...

Does that make any sense?   


06/25/25 10:18 AM #33120    

 

Lowell Tuttle

David.   Managing a website is a pain in the ass.   I stopped my business ones because I never took all the time needed to learn the technicalities of how to maximize it's many options, features, and apply it to the uses I intended for the site.

Those web hosting companies have changes within themselves from time to time and update their own software to comply with their own and outside security issues.  

Before I started having the issue of being warned this site was not secure, I had some log in issues which I managed to overcome by logging in over and over again.   That being refused entry using my credentials, but being able to log in anyway using the same saved credentials did not make sense to me.

So, I think you have a log in with credentials issue with the web hosting software.    Class creators I assume is part of a larger business.   They must have technical help.   They should work this out.

At the top of my page right now it shows https://classcreator.com/Richardson-Texas-1969/class_response_form.cfm?whattodo-add     That "S" is supposed to signify secure.

You may have already taken care of your safety certificate software issues.   I am only putting in my two cents to help...

Have you posters been reading about Zohran Mamdani, running for mayor of NYC?

I guess you have read about his platform too.

Gemeni Christmas!

If he gets elected, the City will be in for BIG fireworks, I predict.

Can you imagine???

It's no wonder that Bernie Sanders loves him..........
