Machiavelli taught that it is better to be loved than feared, we want leaders like John F. Kennedy, and not like Putin, and as we are free to elect our leaders then it would be great if we could elect leaders whom we all love and who fully represent us.

Salute,

When is the last time you read The Prince?

I've given up on trying to clean the Augean stables of horseshit.  Best of luck to you.

No reason to talk to a brink wall.  And IIRC Machiavelli wrote the opposite of what
 Never NeverLand child posted.

 No news there.
"It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both." Granted it may not be a statement to be taken at fave value. But it is what it is.

Way past time to fly DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard, give him a leafblower so he can be useful.

In Touch Ministries

Dear In Touch Family, this morning at the age of 90, God called our beloved pastor, Dr. Charles Frazier Stanley, home to heaven. Dr. Stanley lived a faithful life of obedience, dedicated to teaching others how to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Now he is receiving the joy of his soul-seeing his Savior face-to-face.

Please join us in praying for the entire Stanley family. Updates regarding memorial arrangements will be posted here, at intouch.org, and at charlesstanley.com.

---------

Dr Charles Stanley was great, may he rest in peace. He had been preaching on KTLA channel 5 in Los Angeles every Sunday morning, and I have no idea who they can get to replace him.

Salute,

Tony V.

Given his positions on women's rights, I expect Minnie will be gunning for him, too.

It has been a while since I read the Prince, but the impression that I was left with is that leaders who rise because of LOVE are the best leaders, and an army that serves because of LOVE is the best army, and the ideal leader wants both love and fear.

A leader only chooses to rule with fear when he is not worthy of love, and such a leader is not worth serving.

We are blessed in the United States to be able to elect leaders who we love, and we need for worthy leaders to rise to the top who are worthy of our love.

Salute,

Tony V.

Minnie will not be assuming the preacher position with that dick!

This rodent on rodent violence is getting very swampy and starting to stink. It must be the result of some republican somewhere trying out another bad idea.

Brits who took in Ukrainian refugees demand tougher background checks after falling victim to fraud and theft- Guardian

Charming.

Exactly why I would never have strangers staying in my home.
And...not even family, except two of them.
Yes, they come for 'two weeks'[hasn't happened to me], and two years later they're still there, living the good life, free. [people are not big on paying their way, seems to me].
Radio station [FM] discussed it all a few years ago.
"How do I tell my relatives it's time for them to leave"?

The other company is asking for 2.1 billion,  Fox, no doubt, will settle that one as well.
Although a nice 6 week trial would be Must See TV.

 
If Rubric Murdock had an ounce of integrity several on-air personnel should be
out on their fat asses!

🙏👍👌👏😭😂

Bud Light s  parent company has lost more than $6billion in market capitalization since announcing its partnership with a polarizing transgender internet personality

FOX paid 800 million to settle a lawsuit that it would have won but by settling avoided legal fees that makes the case a financial wash.
For perspective via industry sources;


Fox News Digital finished the first quarter of 2023 as the No. 1 news brand in key metrics as Americans flocked to the top performing organization in the competitive set, according to Comscore.

Fox News Digital closed out the quarter with 8.8 billion total multiplatform minutes and 5.2 billion total multiplatform views, topping CNN and The New York Times in both categories.

It was the eighth straight quarter that Fox News Digital finished as the No.1 news brand among multiplatform minutes. It was also the third straight quarter that Fox News Digital finished as the leader with multiplatform views from a group of organizations that includes NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Insider Inc., and USA Today, in addition to CNN and the Times.



Hope this helps understand business decisions.

We get it. You are a miserable human being. You need not keep trying to convince people.
