I'm not disparaging Republicans, simply commenting on their campaign strategy. Democrats traditionally rely on providing facts and logic to garner v**es while Republicans rely on catchy sound bytes. Both use questionable slogans to promote their platforms but the Republicans seem better at it.
And I'm an Independent, too.

Facts and logic? From a Democrat?
They do everything by emotion and the only facts they use are made up or obfuscation. Both parties are a disgrace but Republicans are slightly more trustworthy. "Sadly"

In a political ad for the primaries, a local candidate promised, "to make crime illegal" 
Unfortunately, considering how many big cities are run and the policies of their DA's it is a valid campaign promise although a bit optimistic.

There is some a**hole near me who made a video of publicly available photos and when someone post the photos on a FB page dedicated to those kind of photos the Sh**head complains to FB and has them taken down as copyright infringement. Douche.

Well, I guess it's true. https://aadl.org/node/40527#:~:text=When%20Benjamin%20Franklin%20passed%20away,200%20years%20after%20his%20death.

The general statement is true but the details are slightly off. My question is since both cities received the same amount what was the difference in how it was invested that produced such a disparate difference between what Philadelphia's portion was worth and what Boston's portion was worth?

Notice the date of the order. The "kindly verify" is a giveaway. Businesses don't talk like that.

This video shows what life is like when the military sets up a temporary camp in Antarctica - to meet submarines. Living on moving ice sheets with temperatures around -70° can be challenging. Picture the earth with Antarctica right at the bottom. Then picture people walking around there - hanging from the bottom of the earth. That always strikes me as a funny image.

If they're standing on the bottom won't they fall off?
Never mind, I watched the video and it is the arctic so they were standing on top of the world

I have a weather app on my iPhone, and one of the locs I monitor is Mexico City. No particular reason, just curious. The temps there tend to be consistently below more northern locs, like my area in north-central North Carolina. Example: As I compose this, it is in the upper-upper 80s here, but only 77 in MC. This is a common reading diff on my wx app.
With MC not too many degrees north of the equator, why is it always so pleasant temp wise. Inquiring minds want to know.

Mexico City is on a mountain plateau, elevation of around 7300 feet.

I really wonder what happened. Did the guy just shot the women when he found out that his sandwich had too much mayo??? I really doubt that. So did he complain? And if so what did the women say to him? I think it's what they said that caused him to shoot them.
Seriously? It seems you are trying to legitimize his shooting the woman, there is nothing she could have said or done other than her pulling a gun that could justify shooting her.

A guy orders a sub and gets too much mayo. He pulls a gun and kills one girl and seriously injures a second.
What is more surprising here, the fact that he kills over too much mayo or the fact that he had a gun to pull out in a restaurant? I hope this doesn’t turn political.

This is not about the gun it is about the total lack of respect for life or even the disdain of life. Yesterday in an area near me "which isn't none for any crime let alone a shooting" the passenger in a car got out and killed a guy because he was driving too slow, now I understand the frustration of being behind a slow driver when you are behind schedule but being so callous as to shoot someone shows a total lack of humanity.
