trump is the standard joke of Florida Man, except he has a cult following. trump will embarrass himself and America, as usual. He coddles war criminals and pushes away long standing allies. trump is the worst America has to offer.

Also I believe it was more north and south when it came to slavery. I can tell you who the racists are now…. The maga mutants are trying to take us back in time….

The democrats then were the maga mutants now. Do some better research.

Hilarious! Spoken like a true maga. SAD! Facts are funny things: In 2024, the United States spent approximately 3.4% of its GDP on defense. This percentage is projected to decline to about 2.9% by 2025. So to 'punish' allies for spending a few dollars less than US war machine which encircles the globe, we abandon allies and seel the company of murderous dictators like the Butcher of Bucha, a war criminal. trump, being a convicted felon himself, welcomed putin with open arms in AK but putin would be arrested in most civilized, democratic countries for his brutality.

You are the company you keep. I prefer keeping democratic allies that shed blood for US in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere for US invasions. allies than war criminals as friends. So as putin and other dictators crush smaller countries and murder children and the elderly, as they kidnap Ukrainian children, you can feel good that US is no longer spending money on allies but instead coddles murderous dictators and war criminals.

maga has no concept of the past and no plan for a democratic future. The Evil Empire is now their friend and allies are their enemies. As with all maga, they do not have a concept of, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

And a happy j/6 to you and your pardoned, violent, criminal friends pardoned by the convicted felon in thief.

The comparison is false. You are comparing apples to oranges

Enough with trump, fox news and GOP BS. Bottom line is America is safer with EU as an ally than putin. Unless of course you prefer murderous dictators to democratic allies. Russia has the GDP of Italy and republicans think Russia is now who US should back instead of the second or third largest economy in the world with EU. I don't quite understand why maga has such a fondness for communist, or kleptocrat dictators who push their political competitors out of windows or poison them and disdain functioning, stable, economically superior democracies. It's baffling and disturbing.

I agree with you, but I think it can be simpler than going to other countries and experiencing the culture, which is a great way to learn. First, people need to be interested in knowing anything outside their own backyard:

Only about half could correctly locate states like New York or Ohio on a blank U.S. map.

Fewer than about 50–60% could identify a handful of states beyond the most familiar ones (like California and Texas).

If people aren't interested in learning the world, then they are more prone to lies, propaganda, and racist stereotypes.

So if geography poses such a challenge to so many, history is even more complex. What was once the Ecil Empire is now portrayed by maga republicans as my friend vlad. NATO, the most successful alliance in history is now being attacked by maga bros and republicans as too woke, while they coddle a war criminal in putin.

It seems that for so many on the right, stupid is the new black. As trump has proudly noted, he loves the poorly educated, because he wants them to remain that way, so he can continue to manipulate them.

It's complicated, but social media and the rise of the magasphere has made many Americans less curious and more prone to conspiracies, lies, and culish behaviors. And that combination does not promote the curiosity of other nations or cultures.

Glad I don't live in Palm Beach County anymore!

I hope that less than 172 bears were killed by trophy hunters. All FWC commissioners seem to be hunters to me. I'd like to see a wildlife biologist explain that number.

Happy New Year! May 2026 be better than 2025, but I'm not holding my breath!

Final bear count appears to be 52.

Janet Robinson's avatar

Thanks. At least, it wasn't the max.

I have to get out of Fl but thankfully I’m closer to GA but I’m ready to give up my citizenship for a better place. Lies lies when people say this is the best and richest country. It isn’t. It might be once Trump steals enough.

I remember stories from early California. For an Indian or a white man to kill a bear brought great honor. Of course, no firearms were available, so the killing was done by hand. And there were a lot of bear-killer wannabe who bore scars for life.

What has become of this country? You know who are the animals? Humans. What did wildlife do before we put our two cents in? Leave them alone!!!

This is DeStupids Florida!! Budda trying desparately to be a man; unfortunately, Budda is incapable of pulling it off. 🤬 I cant wait to rid this state of a fool in the govenors mansion. My vote is going to David Jolly; heʼs the only candidate that actually cares about our state and our country over corruption!

Alan Sharp's avatar

Well, just as long as the convicted criminal president dump Trump has his own health insurance and all those Croney Republicans who cares about the average American. Republicans suck.

Makes me so excited to welcome 2026. Can’t wait for the next blundering remark from our Commander in Chief and his Keystone cops.

The republicans so sad, obviously can’t be trusted.

Bears are not to be f**ked with! This lesson was ignored by the US military and political establishment following the end of the Cold War (and should have been before). Thinking Russia was prostrate and ripe for harvesting resources, American finance moved in, created Russian oligarchs, and generally ruined the country. Putin stopped this and restored Russia to health and strength. As a result, the US Establishment put out a hit on him, which mostly took the form of malign propaganda, but also in the form if NATO expansion, right up to Russia's border with admission of Georgia and the Ukraine, not to speak of extensive political attempts inside Russia.

This is the entire backstory of the US war in Ukraine that uses the lives of Ukrainians to weaken, destabilize, and regime change Russia. It is not a war of Russian imperial expansion, but an attempt to restore political sanity in Kyiv, and it is very cruel, nothing to be proud of by Americans.

With our Bear population and for calling it harvesting or for killing them if you will, it's been found that letting wildlife populations run amuck doesn't do them any favors with every animal requiring a certain amount of density per sq. mile. Deer for examples who have came to thrive in modern times and in some states where the herd numbers were left to getting out of control, they began to inbreed and became sickly over all, with diseases, so what to do and most sure that all the animal activists couldn't come up with anything that the public could afford and support with a better cure. Also the overwhelming majority of funding that supports wildlife conservation—especially for species that are legally hunted—comes from hunters, not animal-rights activists. I for one, used to kill, excuse me, harvest 5 a year for the only red meat we ate, thereby saving the lives of some cattle, so what about the cattle and do they not count as well or are they just considered hamburger?

Tedder130's avatar

In the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, mountain land ended up being privatized and fenced off so that no hunting was allowed. As the bears and lions had all been wiped out, nothing acted to control the deer population which in time, as you reported, became stressed and sickly. The deer's revenge was to throw themselves in front of oncoming traffic, which highly damaged a number of automobiles and even killed some people.

Daniel P Gallucci's avatar

Yep, that too, with fresh meat being strung all over the highways. Also for overrunning residential areas and for becoming very tame, while grazing and resting in people's lawns.

My take on the Rip Renee incident:

No matter the circumstances, she shouldn't have been fired upon, since she was retreating, not advancing and she would have been lucky to have made it more than a few miles before being apprehended.

This is on the officer in particular, not on ICE, Trump, The Republican Party or the Federal Government.

At the same time, one must protect themselves at all times, so when you allow a bus to run over you, it doesn't make a lot of difference as to who's fault it was at this point, with you no longer being with us.

And is this case, she did quite the opposite in looking out for herself.

This is truly tiresome. America, wake up and realize that the edicts from the White House and GOP right now are only meant to turn your focus away from the Israeli, (Mossad), contrived Epstein Agenda, which was to compromise as many power people as possible.

"Mossad is a clandestine operative of Israel's national intelligence agency. Don't get distracted from the facts, Epstein was a Mossad Intelligence Asset, his entire existence was a clandestine operation of Israel's national intelligence agency! His job was to compromise the rich, weak minded and powerful. Donald Trump was just one of the many ensnared in the web. Turned out they hit the jackpot with the fake game show narcissist. However, as morally compromised as Epstein was he was surprised at how perverse and lacking in humanity Trump was as he allegedly raped and beat a 13 year old child. He's a peace of shit and if Bill Clinton was in on it which I believe he was he should rot in hell like the rest.

I love to hear Republicans criticize the insurance companies for their profiteering and inefficiency—to avoid insurance companies, Trump wants to give Americans money for their healthcare directly. They will pay this money to the healthcare fairy and voila! no more nasty insurance companies. By their own logic, Republicans will shoo in M4All and Trump will be lauded as the first Socialist President since FDR.

I totally agree with the Medicare for all if the Republicans don't like Obama Care. Trump just wants something else to put his name on. He doesn't care about the people who voted for him. So sorry for them.

Janet Robinson's avatar

Perfect analysis of the ACA issue. I think the way it was handled in Congress was horrible, while they have their cushy healthcare fully paid by We the People. The Republican solution of an HSA is terrible. I've had one and am glad I will never have one again. Perhaps it's better than nothing, but it's still not a valid solution for Americans.

Pam Bondi must have the biggest desk in Washington, but there must have been an accident with all 4 million Epstein files having a great fall. Apparently all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn’t put the files back together again, at least within 30 days, and much less with the desired redaction.

Well, a bullet hole in the windshield, rather than through the side window, does say something in itself, but then if she wasn't turning away, how was he able to draw his weapon and fire a frontal and still be able to get out of her way by a good margin? Why not just step aside and have her stopped and arrested before could get very far? I mean, it's not like she was a shooter of sorts, that they were trying to apprehend.
