I have a friend who had a stroke and is partially paralyzed. He also has brittle bone disease and is confined to an electric wheelchair. He has been in a homeless shelter where they take almost all of his money. He has been attacked several times and has had his stuff stolen. He has been there 4 YEARS!!! They tell him that veterans and single mothers come first. Just this month he got notification that they may have a place for him.
Is that total time or do you have detours, the roads are being fixed everywhere, I have to drive almost 15 miles to go to a town I live 5 1/2 miles away.
I was born & live in NYC & find my e-bike far more convenient than my car within city limits. I used to drive a manual transmission box truck to and from Newark airport arriving in Times Square during morning rush hour so I can handle the stress of any traffic but choose the stress free e-bike whenever possible:)
Bud's rant about the supreme court was excellent. Someone should take it and read it not only to the SC but Biden should read it at his next state of the union.
How was that allowed, Roe vs. Wade, a law for 50 years!!! I guess it can be codified into our laws, permantly... I sure hope so, how dare those jerks get away with that!!
Hey Lewis, I’m Boston fan at heart, but since they’ve been a lost cause for a couple minutes… I’m going to join you and root for the Orioles in the playoffs! Always good to see you!
Thanks Louis for all your shared therapy. I’m being referred to a group on zoom. I haven’t decided. Captcha’s irritate me almost as much as making up a password and THEN being given their little twist on what symbols I am limited to. Such a help for any hackers when they limit the possibilities. There. I feel better already. I’m so very glad you’re still with us. Rant on.😎
So refreshing to see you again and listen to your rants! You are great, as always, I've been following you forever since I discovered that your rants make my life better!
I'm a 14 year disabled veteran, after I saw how they delt with my father and a couple friends of mine, I do not use the VA I'm with our university hospital. I have too notch health care, you couldn't pay me to go to the VA.
The student loan rate used to be 0.025% higher that the May Federal Reserve rate until Dubya decided to make it market rate. Why do we finance the government on the backs of students. When kids have huge debt, we hamstring capitalism...kids can't afford to marry, have children, buy a home...cars, furniture, vacations...you get the idea...capitalism! (BTW: I don't have a dog in this hunt)
I have 3 dogs in this hunt and totally agree with you!! This is beyond insane! It’s usurious and immoral to intentionally burden the generation that will try to recover us from and inverted flat spin.
I am currently visiting LA from Maine and the traffic is insane. Also drivers here are much more aggressive than in Maine. I am trying to see as much as I can but soon realized one location a day is going to be it. The fact that I am driving a large truck camper makes it even more of a challenge.
I'm a transplant to L.A from Wisconsin so I can relate to you. Public transportation is pretty bad here & yes, traffic 🚥 unbearable. Probably the best time to explore is between 10 a.m. & 2 p.m. weekdays & early Sat. & Sun. Mornings.
They shouldn't get paid if they shut the government down. I'm sick of these Republicans working hard to destroy every agency that serves this country, that includes the government
Lewis. You are the perfect person to help me start an no incumbent movement. Fire them all. D or R it doesn't matter. Clean house. Can it get any worse
I was told by my doctor to apply for disability. Two tries and five years later, I was not successful. Now I am in debt up to my eyeballs and have to sell my home to pay it all back. Government sucks big ones!
FYI.. Lewis!! There should of NEVER been ANY College LOANS for education!! In fact “we the f n people” had free college & tech schools before the 1970’s!! YES wake up American voters we need a 2024 ballot box REVOLUTION!! ✌️& ❤
Wouldn’t it be great if the curtain giant was juggling bubbles, and as the bubbles fell, several Good Witches arrived to wave their magic wands? Also, chocolate yarn looks good on you…
Preety sad it took Kevin McCarthy to stand up and put his job on the line as a disabled vet i almost wasn't able to pay my bills this month because we are paid by federal and we wouldn't have got our checks if it wasn't for him and for that i thank that man
I'm putting mat gaetz in the same class with Jim Jordan. After being caught with a 17 year old girl gaetz still has a job. Like Jordan left the Ohio state university an still has a job. It's like watching the fuckin reds play with no pitching staff.
Sorry for Timothy having that experience. Those people really should have been more understanding and helped him to bypass that computer issue. Hope he's doing good and finds another place for support.

Of all the Meidas group guys I appreciate your clarity, sincerity and calm the most.... basic, solid American values shine thru...reliable, and gratefully, without all the dramatics / performance others slip into- yeah yeah year we know orange maniac is a selfish, coniving, ruthless SOB don't need all the sly insults - sinking to his level..and which undermines their credibility... Tthanks for being the decent kind of guy that made our youth so better balanced, optomistic, idealustic- secure- valuing this nation of nations - its example... its promise and being real..
The last rant is just another reason why I think charity is bullshit. Relying on the largess of greedy people who feel they deserve more of the pie for themselves, and their willingness to dole out crumbs to people in need is no way to run an unchaotic society. Then we are supposed to give awards to them? Keeps the trophy making businesses employed, I guess. Set up a society where people in need are taken care of without means testing. Charity is a sick system that lets people feel less guilty about how much they consume compared to others.
Ya have you seen American bike lanes? You are at any given time up to the mercy of the driver in hopes they aren't looking at the mss nudes driving distracted. Other countries got it right by having complete separate paths for walking and biking.
I've been talking about the doomsday traffic jam for years and EVERYONE thought I was crazy but what you're describing here is exactly that. There will come a day when a whole region of this country just locks up, people will abandon their cars, the highways will be littered with abandoned vehicles, rotting food in trucks, the dead, fools who decided to "wait it out" and probably even some weirdos that decided to make it a music festival... it's going to be insane, unbelievable, unthinkable even... but it's coming.
Lewis I've always loved you but it's time to take a stand. There is no two sides to this - if trump gets reelected you can say good bye to the America you love. Please TAKE A STAND - YOU ARE AN INFLUENCER AND YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Thank you.
Lewis really, the Orioles!! Usually the Yankees win the division, but damn it they had the worst season in many years! So they suck and the Orioles didn’t yea yea yea... I’m kinda happy for you but then the post season is long and trying, and the Orioles can CHOKE!! Sincerely, Christine from NY (very disappointed Yankee fan) Love your rantcasts! Rock on!
What's the VA is messed up Say It Isn't So my brother who was a marine ended up with Parkinson's disease and it only took him five years to get his disability we both were at Camp Lejeune where the water is absolutely pristine some of the best stuff you could ever possibly want to drink. five years five long years of paperwork just to get approved for service-related disability., once he got it he died. And get this before he was finally awarded his disability for service-related sickness they made us drive 70 miles one way to another city just to sit in front of a TV screen with a judge in Washington DC for an interview even though it could very well have been done right from where we live do they make it hard for you oh of course not no they don't do that don't even mention it
15hrs later....... bye Kevin! Dang! I've gotten to say bye Kevin so many times in my life, but Kevin has always been a nice person. And now this other Kevin shows up and I get to say bye to a Kevin nobody likes.
the comments about the cancer society did not surprise me.....ever thing is now run with the goal of enriching someone or someones......including most of our charities. WE have become overwhelmed by GREED.
This rant sounds little too political. Enjoy the rants about bicycle lanes, pedestrian lanes and such blocking up traffic and even truck deliveries (and a line of cars outside your front door joke).. But I'm at about the 13 (thirteen) minute mark, and to catch those non-political nuggets and jokes (I'm going to have to sit thru the political shyt). Nope (sorry, Lewis. And I've always enjoyed your comedy We all know the other side is going to call names (and be vehemently against the other side saying horrible things). And I appears, I'd have to sit thru that (In other words, you're no different) I don't need to hear that vehemence (I'm already friggin married) Ciao Ciao for now, Brown Cow..

So Lewis, its 13 miles to town for food or gas for me, it takes an hour and I rarely even see another car, surely not traffic! LOL I LOVE it!
Is that total time or do you have detours, the roads are being fixed everywhere, I have to drive almost 15 miles to go to a town I live 5 1/2 miles away.
