Is nothing in this country safe? Rainbows, story-time assemblies and now Easter Bunnies. Lets just mark everything fun for kids as being associated with an agenda. Yes, I know it happens to coincide this year but among all the indoctrination systems it's just another addition.

I'm no big fan of Ronna McDaniel. It's no secret but I think it's full-on way over the top obvious for the last couple of years. Can these executives be that stupid it's not noticeable? I got so fed up with BS shows like "the view" "morning Joe" which I from time-to-time check in but quickly change the channel in disgust. Don't these executives take a moment to stop and think that disgust might carry over to other viewership among total program viewership? Is it at the point they just don't care?
"undermines that goal.” What is their goal?
Looks like the cat is out of the bag now!

“There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group. After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,” said Cesar Conde, chairman of NBC News Group, in a memo to staffers Tuesday. “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”
Senior executives at NBC News were meeting Tuesday to discuss how to handle the thorny question of McDaniel’s presence on the outlet’s roster of contributors after several of the most prominent anchors at the outlet its sibling, MSNBC, including Chuck Todd, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow, rebuked the decision to hire her on air. Meanwhile, CAA, the talent agency that helped broker the deal, cut ties with McDaniel Tuesday, according to two people familiar with the matter, telling the former political operative she needed to consult with an attorney to represent her in exit discussions. -
Heading our way very shortly. Who would have guessed this would happen?

You get what you ask for.

He's on his way there. He's taking the choo-choo train there. He had to find his combat boots for the photo-op
Yep, unlike East Palestine there's a much grater potential for democratic votes. You bet Pete and Biden will be there in respectable time. Expected.

Can you imagine Biden or Harris in this role? I can't, not in a million years. The failure of poor leadership is what lead the United States into such a rapid decline.
This is how a strong leader represents his country. Imagine Biden at the table.

I have taken at least several vacations in the state of NY over the years not to include many day trips. Loved the Finger Lakes, Watkins Glenn, Hunter Mountain, Etc. No more! What is going on right now is far beyond disgusting! Non of this would be happing if all the boxes weren't checked. Successful, white, male, republican, power position. How this is being allowed to happen is beyond me, but it is.
The real scarry thought is that it's an indicator of what WILL be instore for this country going forward. The only time I will visit NY again is to pass through. I'll make sure that I fill up my gas tank prior so I don't give them a dime. I will however be sure to stop along the way to leave a dump. My gift, no charge.

I have to admit I'm putting some serious thought into purchasing one of these. There's some compelling advantages. Foremost I have two step granddaughters living with us and attending college. At times they tend to come in late unannounced. The advantage of time. I don't mind having this thing unlocked and ready to go. Liability is another big factor. So many times I'm hearing criminal rights placed above the victim. NJ sucks on gun transport, this should be exempt.
Anyone have one of these or equivalent?

Looks like the start of your closest 15 minute city.
Exactly! Within the complex are eateries, insurance companies, Dunkin doughnuts, emergency health care, swiming pools, exercise facility, child care, walking track even an enclosed dog park and many others. some of the complexes have the lower floors reserved for commercial business. Soon most people will never own personal property. Just rent.

A really good reason for there to be age limits for government - when your most likely gonna be dead before an order is enacted - UR PROLLY TO OLD !! Takes the government 20 years to build a road - think there will be sufficient amounts of charging stations and upgrades to the power grid by 2030 ??? JOE GOTTA GO !!This is a small section of an apartment complex just erected and now in use. There's about six of these units placed into and old outdoor mall. Basically a city stuffed into a parking lot. I can walk to it from my house. It's the trend in my area. My question to the boneheads. HOW THE HELL ARE ELECTRIC VEHICLES GOING TO GET CHARGED IN THIS ENVIROMENT? Let alone the city where people get shot taking a public parking in front of someone's house?
If electric vehicles work for you and you like them, fine. I'm still open to a small electric vehicle as a second source of transport. To forcibly impose this on the public sounds like fascism to me. Strange, Trump wants choice.

This is what Trump gets. It's been going on for years. A slow bleed of deterioration. I like to research and purchase American products when practical. It's getting ever more difficult. Have been looking into and just bought a set of Tour Edge golf clubs. I love them. I looked at another article prior but can't find at the moment. Said most clubs are moving to overseas due to EPA strangle holds placed on USA manufacturing not in place overseas. So what happens? We loose jobs, tax revenue for zero economic or global benefit. In truth perhaps acceptable manufacturing practices right here would be far better for the U.S and the world. I decided to purchase Tour Edge clubs made in the USA. Love them!
https://www.golfspan.com/which…clubs-are-made-in-the-usa
"Just like Automotive and many Global manufacturers, China has “dangled the carrot” of low manufacturing costs, to every industry.
Labor in China is abundant and low-cost. The multitude of people seeking work in China, and the work ethic, make it a manufacturer’s dream.
Most golf club manufacturers have taken the option to use Chinese facilities in some form or another.
It would be fair to say that many parts are manufactured in Asia, but some companies still do the final assembly in the USA."
Final Thoughts
Out of the 7 manufacturers, we investigated it is true to say only one can claim to be ‘Made in the USA!’
Tour Edge seems to be the only true full-blooded club manufacturer within the USA.
They source their own materials and develop, design, and assemble the final product.
It must be very satisfying for the owner David Glod to hold this mantle in the face of the big brands.
However, it could just be a matter of time before a large corporation in or out of the sporting goods business, makes a bid to buy Tour Edge.
In regard to the "blood bath" B.S. being pushed by the main stream media. This is what Trump see's as the further degradation of America.
How about it main stream media? Do some work! Or just keep slinging the B.S.

North America[edit]
United States[edit]
While celebrating BYD's 5,000,000th new energy vehicle production in August 2023, Wang Chuanfu calls on local Chinese car manufacturers to "unite" to take on foreign manufacturers, responding to the severe price war in the Chinese market throughout 2023. Wang claims that it is "an emotional need for the 1.4 billion Chinese people to see a Chinese brand becoming global," and started a campaign titled "Together, we are Chinese autos". The patriotic call was welcomed by the CEOs of Nio and Li Auto.[70][71]
BYD US headquarters in Los Angeles, CaliforniaBYD's North American headquarters opened in Los Angeles in 2011.[121] BYD's electric bus plant in Lancaster, California went operational in 2014.[122][123] BYD first supplied the Los Angeles Metro Bus system with buses in 2015.
In a February 2024 interview with Yahoo! Finance, Stella Li, executive vice president of BYD and CEO of BYD Americas iterated that BYD is "not planning to come to the US" to sell electric passenger cars, despite planning a manufacturing plant in Mexico, citing political resistance on Chinese companies and the slowing rate of growth for electric car adoption.[124]
Mexico[edit]
BYD started selling electric passenger cars in Mexico since 2023. The first models introduced were the Han EV sedan, Tang EV and Yuan Plus EV.[125][126] Previously the company has presence in the country selling battery electric buses, trucks and taxis.[127] Reports in February 2024 indicated that BYD is planning to build a manufacturing plant in Mexico. According to Stella Li, the company is not considering any northern state as it targets the local market instead of the US market.[124]
Yah, right, manufacturer in Mexico. they probably have no intent to flood the North American market.

I thought it was a 64 my Dad had one, top of the line deep blue with a red leather interior -- hard top.
Nice, look at those tail lights. Space exploration, Ford galaxy, those tail lights scream rocket ship. Great time, like the original American chopper but with cars. I was one year old! Remember when the hi-lo beam was a press button on the floor!
-
Really surprised that no one has said this is 1964 Ford Galaxy not a 1962 as posted, and it is a XL..
Good call, sharp pick-up. That was a typo on my behalf. it is a 1964 Ford Galaxy! Man, you guys are good!

Would you rather he sugarcoat, sanitize, and run everything said through focus groups and speech writers so you are only being fed exactly what he thinks you need to hear to get elected no matter if it's what he actually thinks or will do if elected. If so....welll...there's a whole lot of others that do precisely that. Barry was a smooth talker but I'll gladly take the sometime tangents of thought from someone who's moving faster than their mouth can keep up with than being lied to. At least I can have a modicum of confidence that he is speaking his actual mind. I honestly wish everyone could hear him speak in a more intimate setting. Every single person I have met who has had that opportunity has come away with better understanding and an improved view. Myself included.
........
.
He speaks very different in a meeting setting while retaining a firm posture. Much needed and expected from the President of the United States. The media will never let that happen! Would destroy the narrative.
-
Wow, did they run with this one! ....and the dictator one. It's a whole other issue when these media outlets absoulty know the level of falseness and still chose to ram it through over and over.
China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.
Let me tell you something, to China, if you're listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal — those big, monster car-manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans, and you're going to sell the cars to us?
No, we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars, they're building massive factories.

There was 4 engine choices that year. Is it the 390?
I believe it is. I recall seeing 390 posted on the front quarter panel badge just behind the wheel.
-
My neighbor just picked this one up. A 1964 Ford Galaxy (I believe XL or SL)?. It's just cool! Pictures don't do it justice. It looks so much better in person.
(edited original post typo as a 1962 and it is in fact 1964) Thanks for the correction!

Out and about South Jersey with a final destination at my local VFW for an outstanding beef stew over rice dinner. Ran into two fellow sling riders along the way. A picture with one who had a beautiful teal/orange 2023 "R" model. Stopped for a pictured opportunity below. Beautiful day!

Spring tune-up. Ready-to-ride 2024!

In this age of when the youngsters seem to already have forgotten 9/11 was - I am a dinosaur and will never forget what today is and commemorate it - Dec 7, 1941 - Pearl Harbor Day! We lost 2403 souls on that day 82 years ago today. My dad was in the Pacific when the attack occurred and what he saw sailing in a couple days later affected him the rest of his life. As long as I am alive that “day of infamy” will never be forgotten - I just wish they still taught about it more in schools - seems like it’s no big deal anymore😩
Today I was walking my dog. A school bus stopped and let out some students. Teenagers, four in line. Not one offered to provide room. I walked with the dog onto the roadway to get by. Sad generational difference.
I heard nothing all day about pearl harbor day. I did my usual Thursday VFW dinner night tonight. Tony, a WWII showed up. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. No seats left at the bar. When he went to sign the log in book I got up left my seat and went to a table in the back before he noticed. Glad he took the open chair, He earned many time over.
The greatest generation!
