I just discovered that the upper peninsula of Michigan is in central time zone just like the western panhandle of Florida. As someone who lives in that part of Florida, I sympathize with you. We are often forgotten or considered irrelevant!

@ballotpedia.org I always rely on information provided on your site regarding candidates before I vote. But, this year I can't find a thing. Who messed it up so badly? I know, you are constantly begging for donations. Sorry, this senior citizen on a fixed budget has little to give. Do better!

Early voting for Florida's primary starts TODAY with the Governor race, a Senate race, all House seats, and important local and school district elections are on the ballot. The polls even open on the weekend. How many stupid MAGA will wait in the heat of election day or just not vote?

Who's town is next? Developers want to flood the small town of Archibald PA with AI data centers. Why? Because coal mining is dead in that part of the state and these companies think they can con politicians by promising jobs. Ha! Here's Roberta Costa's report. www.cbsnews.com/video/resist...

Resistance grows nationwide against AI data center boom

To fuel their artificial intelligence initiatives, tech companies are building massive numbers of AI data centers, with more than 4,000 in operation across the country. But some communities, wary of t...

Pensacola & the Blue Angels have worked together since 1955 and local companies have provided support that entire time. One was for their flight suits made by a black female owned business. Suddenly they were not allowed to bid on the renewal contract. Here's the story: weartv.com/news/local/p...

Pensacola’s 'Sewing Box' loses Blue Angels flight suit contract after 43 years

Does your dog have a memory? At noon, I told mine she needed to behaved today because a repairman was coming. If she did, she would get ice cream after dinner. She stared at me from 5 PM on until I finally gave her the ice cream. 

Military spend way too much time away from their families. And, after retirement, many need specialized care from their local VA. So now Trump thinks they should become long haul truck drivers. Why? Because he deported most of the drivers. Are you kidding me? He really hates the military!

All you prior military on this forum, did you carry a cell phone when you were deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq? I suspect there was little cell service and no way to recharge. But, looks like today military are not fully trained in the danger of cell phone signals. That's Hegseth's warfighters.

98% of Colorado voters vote by mail. FBI experts verify every one of those voters when the ballots are received. So much safer than having elderly men and women doing the checking at the polls.

It was 96 degrees here in the Florida panhandle with a heat index of 116 with an 8 mph wind. Suddenly, I hear someone in the neighborhood using a push mower. Even in the shade, these temps are dangerous. Don't be a hero! Cut the grass at dusk. Bug spray is much less hazardous than heat stroke.

It took 18 months to get my federal retirement pay correct because one clerk made an error. While my entire claim was done online, the data submitted from the DoD to OPM had an error that cut the amount paid by 75%. I don't trust the Federal Government to have my voting info or my medical record!

Wow! Trump wants Congress to loosen laws on storing and recycling nuclear waste in order to spread it across the entire country. What is the reward for states agreeing to this? Nuclear power plants and massive data centers. Not a reward in my book! www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Leaked document reveals White House nuclear waste plan

The Trump administration is seeking to move past Yucca Mountain as the nation’s sole repository and store waste in willing states.

Here are changes included in the House NDAA. How could academic outcome declined at the Air Force Academy. I've known many graduates in my years working for the DoD and all were brilliant. What caused this? Hegseth fired most of the longtime civilian educators. www.military.com/house-offici...

Seriously, does money really have a major influence in who voters choose? I find their constant ads, especially during the evening news, to be extremely irritating. And, since I live in a very red district, most of what they say are lies!

Lawyers HELP! The DOJ put out a press release of a women arrested for a despicable crime. They provided the first and last name, their age, and their former location. That's all! That name could match 979 other women in this country. They stole reputations. Is any recourse available?

When the Gulf War started in 1990, the DoD was already working on a new bomb. The GBU-28 Bunker Buster was designed, manufactured, and deployed in under three weeks to penetrate hardened Iraqi command centers buried deep underground. Is Hegseth working on new weapons?

Darline Graham Nordone is now going by the name Darline Graham only. Even on Wikipedia. Why? Because the Republican Party thinks their voters are so stupid, they will think they are voting for a dead man instead of his politically inexperienced sister. After all, it worked for George W. Bush!
