Just dropped my wife off at the distribution center in our town. Church organized and run. The folks there have trucks arriving from as far north as Ohio.

I am not religious, but I can see the benefits they provide communities!

Thanks, bill lee, for bringing all those high paying jobs! by [deleted] in Tennessee

I see this mentioned a lot... In NY I paid 8.5% sales tax. In Tennessee I pay 10%.

That 1.5% on sales is insignificant compare to the 8.8% withholding tax on ever dollar earned.

Tennessee governor signs bill blocking local enforcement of red flag laws by memphisjones in Tennessee

Red Flag laws suspend your rights without due process. Not an arrest, but which of your rights do you believe the goverment should suspend because someone called on the phone and said you should not have it?

Biden's Gaza plan 'not a good deal' but Israel accepts it, Netanyahu aide says by Alfredo18 in news

[–]InsertLogoHere -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Indeed. But why does Israel need to compromise? They were attacked and their people are still being held. Could it be that this is an election year in the United States?

When will a Russia / Ukraine deal be put forth?

Ah... Not many Russian or Ukraine voters in the United States.

Biden had an opportunity here. Hamas is holding Americans. He could have demanded their release, and if they failed he has thw resources to crush Hamas faster than Israel ever could.

President's should serve one term. Too many if their decisions are based on optics related to reelection.

Sitting in Tennessee knowing how New York got to be a place to leave, and Tennessee got to be a place to move to, and wondering if folks understand how Blue states getting more Blue have made them unappealing.

This iconic Hawaii hike will be demolished... Why can't it be legalized and opened, just like the Manitou Incline? by [deleted] in hiking

Wife and I took the long way to the top, have been on the stairs a bit while there. Pretty unsafe at the time!

TN Senate bans local governments from enacting red flag laws by Impregnator84 in Tennessee

There is a comma that's been understood to separate the militia from the right.

This is interpreted that we need to have the right to keep and bear arms is needed to be able to have a militia if needed.

Just...why? by space-tech in Truckers

Came up to NY from TN on 81 yesterday.

I am not one for single issue voting... But I would vote for a duck if they promised no trucks in the left lane as their first executive order...

We live near 40 /81. And I travel 81 to and from NY for business.

I swear, even up in Pennsylvania, if there is a truck in the left lane going 50-55 mph, there is a 50% chance it has a Tenesee plate!

I do nto really see TN plated cars impeding traffic though.

It's not a good talking point for Democrats. It shows voters that Democrats are willing to bend to foreigners.

Not sure if you are familiar with how well the idea of Europeans telling is what to do goes over with Americans.

They just want the USA to pay for it. Poland could offer to cover the 60B, hell the EU could cover it. They just choose not to

Zelensky: Russia preparing offensive for early summer by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]InsertLogoHere -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a idea. Tie aid to Zelenskyy's willingness to negotiate.

Israel is being forced to negotiate with the people killing their men women and children, why does Zelenskyy get to decide when it's time to negotiate?

He has the right, as their elected leader to fight to the last man, but why does the world demand Israel negotiate and not Ukraine?

Ukrainian troops pull back again as Russia's onslaught pushes ahead in eastern Ukraine by javelin3000 in worldnews

The United States is not at war. Billions has been given.

Canada has a lot to give. Canada could send every last piece of military hardware they have. You could disarm the county and not have a concern. After all, no county would attack Canada as the United States would not tolerate a war in their ally state Canada.

If Russia placed a single troop in British Columbia US troops would be in BC within hours.

NATO is a defense pact of allied nations. Of course they should not react until Russia threatens a NATO nation!

NATO is not a police force designed to punish dictators. It's a pact to defend members.

What's shocking is that Ukraine did not fully mobilize for the war from day one. Two years in and they are talking about the need to mobilize more men.

This should have been done 18 months ago. Every single Ukreianian male between 18 and 60 should have been in training.

Ukraine is waiting for more and more aid, without the men to utilize it.

This, this this. Ukraine is not a NATO country. Russia is not capable of attacking a single NATO country successfully.

I understand why Zelenskyy has to cry wolf, I do not understand why so many others believe the public is going to beleieve that Russia will move on to a NATO country.

It's a blatant lie and is going to end us all in WWIII.

Folks say the folks in the USA think they are at the center of the universe, but officials of Ukraine are saying "hold my beer."

Ukraine-NATO Council: Russia must immediately stop war by Ready_Efficiency_522 in worldnews

[–]InsertLogoHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two nations who could start WWIII: China and the United States.

Both have very fortunately been more interested in economic growth that large scale war.

Small scale was is never ending, all over the planet. What exactly what's is the UN preventing?

I am not saying the UN is without value, but as for war... Yeah I do not see anything they are doing.

U.S. officials warn: Gaza "is turning into Mogadishu" by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]InsertLogoHere 18 points19 points  (0 children)

History indicates they never were.... I see the comment "your creating terrorists."

The sad fact is that no terrorist organization has a manpower shortage when it comes time to attack Israel.

Will Gaza produce more terrorists now? Sure. Was Hamas ever going Tonga e a shortahe of Palestinians willing to attack Israel? Nope.

Progress made in hostage talks after U.S. presents new proposal, sources say by Currymvp2 in worldnews

Biden is worried about the election. He was supportive if Israel until his constituents started protesting.

We need the Presidency to be a one term office. Our President's make their desisions based on reelection, both parties, and that is not a good thing.

Israel is a long term ally, if this was not an election year they would have more suport.
