Would you like to get paid to buy your house?
Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 06/05/2019 - 1:12pmThere's a new career option in Denmark. It's one that sounds too good to be true: getting paid to borrow money to buy homes.
Getting Back In The Pool
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Wed, 06/05/2019 - 9:21amI'm taking the summer off and needed something to do along with the driving lessons I'll be taking, so last Wednesday I decided to try a free workout at the kickboxing inspired 9-Round Gym just down the block from me. By the end of the 9 'rounds' I was hurting quite a bit and was ready to vomit. Reminded me of wrestling season my sophomore year in high school, actually.

Some of ByeDone's greatest hits

Look at this video compilation below. Biden is even more racist than Trump has ever been. Why are the Dems backing him?pic.twitter.com/Zk2zBmdGMh
Mike Pence proclaiming Imperial Global War, Inc.™
Submitted by wendy davis on Tue, 06/04/2019 - 4:23pm
For those who are calling for Trump’s impeachment and mean ‘removal from office’, look who’d be the 46th President of the US of A: a Christianist Evangelical for Global Supremacy…by any means necessary.
From John Wight’s ‘Mike Pence declares war on the world at West Point’, RT.com, May 29, 2019:
Americans have no clue what Socialism is
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 06/04/2019 - 3:14pmThis is a misleading headline.
The problem isn't that 1/5th of Americans can't define the word.
The problem is that almost all Americans haven't a clue what the word means, but are under the false impression that they do.

Tuesday Open Thread ~ And Then There Were Grapes

Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle. ~ Paulo Coelho

Chianti Hills near Florence, Italy

Good Morning!
Welcome to Tuesday's Open Thread. Today, I thought we'd do something a little different. So, instead of indulging in the world of food, I thought we'd take a stroll through the Chianti region of Italy. I know it's a bit of a departure from the usual Tuesday OT, but over the last year I've had the opportunity to participate in weekly wine tastings, courtesy of Trader Joe's. As I've tasted new wines, I was surprised to learn how much the experience has added not only to my knowledge but to my enjoyment of wine as well. Hopefully, you will find my modest scribblings useful or interesting, or maybe it will even inspire you to try new wines!

Economist Thomas Piketty showed that a centrist Democrat will lose
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 06/03/2019 - 11:07pmEarly in 2018, Thomas Piketty, author of the bestselling 2013 book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century," wrote a detailed, fact-filled 160-page study that rejected everything that the Democratic Party establishment was telling us.
And it got completely ignored by the MSM, political pundits, and Democratic insiders.
