Born in the 50s, but though I recently passed 71, my mind is as young and smart as it ever was. Why? Because I know you NEVER stop learning!

Primary reason dollar coins did not "catch on" was stores did not have a 'slot' for them, so didn't help them circulate. Vending machines didn't support them initially either, but now most do. The initial design also looked to much like a quarter. No reason past issues should prevent new initiatives.

Yes, but, sadly, we are just catching up with Canada. They got rid of their penny in 2013. Now we have both a penny and nickel that cost more to make than they are worth. Get ahead of Canada and make these the only US coins: Dime (10c) Quarter(25c) Dollar Cash transactions round to nearest 10 cents. Other transactions are not rounded.

Bird flu is the new COVID. It is rarely fatal to humans, affecting primarily older adults with other significant health issues. Human to human transmission is RARE. The 'plan' was to make this look like COVID. Then come those jabs. NOPE! NOT buying it!
Note to @realDonaldTrump: in the coming weeks and months, someone with profound knowledge of infectious disease will come to you with classified information: an especially virulent strain of Bird Flu has been found that will require mass testing of animals to keep it from spreading to humans for whom it has a possible 50% fatality rate. The good news, he will explain, is that there is a vaccine to address the problem. Strong suggestion: fire this person and get a second opinion.

@charliekirk11 And then with two empty coin slots in the cash register drawers, maybe the US Dollar coin will actually be used so we print no more $1 bills! A dollar coin would last 30 years or more in circulation where a paper dollar lasts 6 years or less. Saves money too!

@JDVance And other than elected officials and judges, virtually all Federal employees report, directly or indirectly, to POTUS. The question of whether there even IS an 'independent' federal agency, not reporting to POTUS, is unsettled law. It won't be unsettled for long I bet.

@TopherField They cannot afford to let us know it is all a hoax. Like COVID. But who is benefitting from it? (Besides the typical: big pharma and big food.)

The first RULE every agency must follow is the RULE OF LAW. And they cannot legally make up new rules "with the effect of law" since SCOTUS ruled on such issues. So I have to wonder which agency you are abusing to be so concerned with having to follow the law instead of 'rules' you make up as you go.

@JDVanceNewsX As a disabled veteran, I agree. But I never got good care at the VA. I dealt with life mostly myself. And from what I understand, care went down from when I last tried it in the 90s.

The problem is you have almost 1000 judges who behave like mini presidents, acting as if they have more authority than all of congress, pending only being overturned on review. This is NOT how governance should work. Judges should only intervene in extreme cases, not every time a leftist has a hissy fit.

First, ignore his order. Second, impeach him. Third, throw him in jail for conspiracy. This was not done without consultation with others.

@JDVanceNewsX How can ANYONE say no to this? If the law ever allowed this, it was by accidental omission and court rulings. Certainly NOT intended since the original law was to provide security to 'US citizens in old age'.

@DefiyantlyFree "Free" to most US patriots means no interference. Free to most others means a way to take advantage of US patriots/taxpayers. Whether within the US or internationally. It's sort of a rule with other than patriots. I predict it will change soon. Very soon.

@BasedMikeLee Why on EARTH would we be allowing adversary country students into our best educational institutions, which usually comes with access to things not legally allowed for adversaries. We should NOT. Ever. China, Russia, Iran, etc. NONE have a right, and we DO have a right to say NO!

@LauraLoomer @CaseyDeSantis @RogerJStoneJr When it comes to understanding Florida voters, Loomer is quite looney. DeSantis is in COMMAND of Florida, as a leader not a dictator. Leadership is being in command of your position. DeSantis is a leader. A CONSERVATIVE leader. Who the people of Florida (most of us) love!
