I disagree that the Traverse City area is sociologically homogenous. 90% of the Metropolitan Area population as just recently defined is still mainly a resort and vacation residence and retirement area. Few are "one percenters", they go to the Hamptons and beyond. If they put on their hippie garb an...

Cars aren't in the constitution genius. Traverse City's downtown is packed and there is no free parking anywhere. That's why many people avoid downtown areas though. Think how many people they are losing. Bohemian Socialist types of all descriptions are attracted to such cities and like that atmosp...

Socialist Sweden out of control. Private citizens turn in improperly parked cars in private lots, ticketed citizens are then fined by public enforcers. Stool pigeons then get kickbacks. This would have to be unconstitutional in the US. Besides, some cars are over lines because of other adjacent cars...

I find it hard to believe that banks have the time and waste the manpower to find out who is a christian and who is a republican. It's hard to believe anyone is arguing with this nut. He has a few solders loose. They use Demographics to predict a lot of these things, and now illegal surveillance. T...

I first heard of this practice close to 10 years ago when a work associate's very early adolescent daughter told her mother she was bored with vanilla sex and was now into choking. Her mother asked us if we had ever heard of such a thing. The only thing we had heard of at the time was "accidental" a...

If you only knew how wrong your speculation is in many areas.

Hey, don't we all have something better to do than snipe at each other? I'll stop if you stop.

You can venmo me your $60. I'll keep it safe.

I'd trust putting it in a mattress before I'd trust you.

Whoever wrote the article, Wikipedia says it's real. And it's often done under questionable circumstances, especially targeting "politically exposed persons", which is all too open to interpretation and vague. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-banking#:~:text=De%2Dbanking%2C%20also%20known%20within,r...

You should all consider closing all your accounts at Big Banks, before they debank you. For years, big banks had exorbitant bank balances to avoid exorbitant fees, like $25000, and a $25 monthly fees below $25000, while many small banks and Credit Unions only required $1000 balances with a $10 month...

Same asshole who cut a Toledo show early because he was interrupted while storytelling. I don’t go to concerts as much as I used to, but I prefer if they just stick to playing music. I don’t care much for long-winded stories, political or otherwise. This was the Toledo show.. I believe the ticket b...

I guess that people who live in gated communities in the middle of nowhere don't need guns as much. The only way to avoid violent attacks and other crimes is apparently to isolate yourself. If you were going to be murdered and went for your gun, and it was locked up, how would that delay keep YOU fr...

People pay to come to rock concerts to hear their music, not to hear political speech. Hard to believe someone from the heartland got so coopted. https://rumble.com/v4pqmbe-john-cougar-mellencamp-ends-show-in-middle-of-a-song-because-crowd-wanted-m.html Hope the people can get their money back. How ...

According to what I have read the stabber was a man who suffered mental health issues. Authorities are not treating it as a terrorist situation They always say that. A relative of mine was attacked in a large city, and that's what they said about him. I won't give any more identifying details, but ...

https://www.grammarly.com/ "Mother please, I'd rather do it myself." Artificial intelligence is only as good or as bad as its human programmers. You make it look like AI with larger and larger numbers of decision trees. Look at spellcheck, and how often it is wrong, or changes a word to the wrong s...
