Ted Cruz decides to fight the impossible

Ted Cruz is at it again - taking a stand for the American people against the big bad government! On Sunday, the Texas senator posted this tweet on his Twitter page:

"Federal govt has no business sticking its nose in education. We need to repeal every word of Common Core! #nhpolitics #MakeDCListen"

What's the problem with that message? Oh, just the fact that Common Core, or the Common Core State Standards Initiative, isn't actually federal law. So, best of luck repealing any word of the nonexistent Common Core federal law, let alone every word, since it doesn't exist as such, Mr. Cruz.

Given the Texas senator's seeming desire to overturn federal laws that don't exist, expect him to post the following tweets in the future:

- "We need to repeal every word of the Baby's Barred From Driving Tractors law!"

- "Every word of the Pit Bulls Dog Fighting Without AK-47s law needs to be repealed!"

- "You know what law needs to be repealed? That Russia As the 51st State law!"

Yeah, good luck with all of that, Mr. Cruz. Perhaps the Texas senator should, instead of focusing his attention on the nonexistent Common Core federal law, he should instead focus it on garnering some common sense. Any common sense would be a vast improvement from where he stands today...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
