Disappointed by some liberals' comments regarding Antonin Scalia's death

As most of the world has heard by now, former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was pronounced dead yesterday at 79-years-old. He was seen by many Republicans as the bedrock of the Supreme Court and of conservatism. Democrats, meanwhile, tended to see him as the largest obstacle in their fight for progression. While it was inevitable, especially in an election year, that Scalia's departure from SCOTUS would be talked about ad nauseam shortly after his death (and for days, weeks, and months to come), I was highly disappointed, to the point of embarrassment, by some fellow progressives' comments regarding the matter. Some were celebrating, exerting jubilation about the news, saying, "Today's a great day!" Look, I know many of us despised Justice Scalia with just about every fiber of our being, but even so, this was a human being, a person who had friends and family he left behind, and we should be much classier than to celebrate this tragic news.

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...
