  1. As debates ensue as to what’s driving the selloff, Moore pointed out the "interesting" timing of Kamala Harris rising in the polls and the drop in the markets.
  2. HAHAHA... typical liberal left... if it is the proven truth about one of their own and they do not like the storyline it is then ok to label it "fake news" and they don't understand why these stories keep getting printed... BUT... if it about the conservative right they are the first to embellish and ride those stories to death.
  3. He already lives in one... but can't find anyone or anything worth talking about there so he lurks on a Thai forum.
  4. Yes... although in the context that such actions are attributed to the political theater and it happens between all members of all parties... what is unique in this situation is that Vance has garnered more experience and knowledge in the trump matter and is willing to admit his initial assessment was flawed... unlike any of the liberal left who would never admit to being in err about anything at any time.
  5. You are too far over the edge or just plain ignorant... joe milked the taxpayers for 50 years and he has cost them more than any other politician in history with his tax proposals... along with opposing school busing for desegregation in the 1970s and voted for a measure aimed at outlawing gay marriage in the 1990s. He claimed credit for a 1994 crime law that critics say contributed to mass incarceration.
  6. Here’s the thing, as rubber ages, it interacts with the air in the atmosphere, causing oxidation. Oxidation causes the rubber to harden and become brittle. The rubber will wear away much more slowly but will offer significantly lower levels of grip. Oxidation also shows up as cracks or “checking” on the sidewall. Cracking on the sidewall, or in between the traction blocks, indicates severe oxidation, and it’s a sign that the tires should be replaced. This brings us to the third reason why a tire wears out. Heat Cycles Heat increases the rate of oxidization, so if your bike lives in a hot garage, or you live in a hot environment, your tire will lose its grip more rapidly because the heat accelerates the rate of decomposition of the rubber. What’s more, every time your tire warms up and cools down, it goes through a heat cycle, which also compromises the grip the tire can provide. When a tire has gone through so many heat cycles that it can no longer provide adequate levels of grip, that tire is “baked-out.” And not all tires deal with heat cycles the same way. A race tire or even a DOT race tire that can withstand extreme heat punishment on the racetrack may only be able to withstand two or three heat cycles before the level of grip is significantly diminished. While a sport touring tire may not be able to withstand the harsh punishment and heat like a race tire can, it can typically survive a lifetime of heat cycles from everyday riding stresses before grip decreases. However, tires intended for cooler, wetter climates are less capable of dealing with too much heat when used in hot, dry climates and may bake out long before the tread is worn away. This is part of the reason racers and track day riders use tire warmers. Not only to keep the tire warm and grippy but to reduce the number of heat cycles that the tire will have to endure. This is also why it’s a good idea to try to replace your tires and sets. Your front tire is going through just as many heat cycles as your rear tire and is baking out at the same rate. We’ve seen a lot of riders who will replace the rear tire, and then a few months later replace the front tire, and then a few months after that, replace the rear tire again. So they are always chasing a new set of tires. And nothing makes your bike handle like new like a fresh set of tires. So, again, if you can swing it, it’s always best to replace your tires as a set. But if you can’t, for whatever reason, then at least stick with matched tires. Knowing how old your tires are, or how many heat cycles they’ve endured, maybe a more significant indication as to how worn your tires are than how much tread remains.
  7. Like the democratic system they used to dump joe after he was selected by the democratic voters in the primaries... right... either you don't follow what is going on in your own party or you are stupid... your choice.
  8. The only ones chattering about it are the left wing liberals like you...
  9. He is typical of a left leaning liberal who has decided that his point of view is dead center so anything else is right wing extremism... typical of the Aussies.
  10. There are other insurance companies out there...
  11. So you admit that you source most of your opinions from the liberal left... both of those sources are as far left as fox is far right but only fox readers drink the kool aid... I submit that you drink the kool aid as well... just a different brand and flavor... that's what make the liberal left so unsavory... they are self righteous hypocrites with no substance.
  12. So... she champions womens' rights to murder their unborn children... but cannot define what a woman is and allows men who "feel like they are" women to participate in WOMENS' sports.
  13. It's not just ads... Libel left google restricts conservative points of view and news whereas DuckDuckGo does not as was recently brought forth once again when they were caught restricting searches surrounding the recent assassination attempt.
  14. Here is the start... my advice is "cash out"... Ticker Security Last Change Change % I:DJI DOW JONES AVERAGES 39737.26 -610.71 -1.51% SP500 S&P 500 5346.56 -100.12 -1.84% I:COMP NASDAQ COMPOSITE INDEX 16776.163609 -417.98 -2.43%
