you can buy a GPS on Amazon for under $100, some as low as $50. At that price you can throw them away when they are outdated. Plus you can use them in any car and they don't chew up data on your cell phone.

I would say new roads may appear but old roads rarely go away. So worst comes to worst it might not get you the most direct route in some cases.

As a middle of the road moderate I am siding with my more conservative friends. The headline is misleading and the story has no point really.

I am no Donald Trump fan at all....not one bit.
But in the video clip they played he actually answered the question asked in the first sentence before going in to his ramble. Makes me question the intelligence, or perhaps agenda, of Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell.

If people like a sitting president they often attribute everything good to him and everything bad to circumstances beyond his control. Of course the flip side is equally true. If they don't like him everything bad is his fault and everything good happens despite him and would have been even better w...

I wonder who pays for his health insurance?

Anyone with any class puts politics aside and wishes them well, as I do. I suppose. On the other hand there is an average of 11,000 people a day admitted to ICU , almost 4 million a year. So were it not for the politics of it why would anyone in Michigan know or care about a snow mobile accident in...

That 10 point Trump spread seems very odd. Somebody's polling was not well done.

good to know. When I mentioned this once upon a time to somebody else they seemed doubtful anyone would physically look at it.

I always show up and vote but in recent years when it comes to president I mark the write in box and write "none of the above". I assume, but I could be off base, that by marking the write in box somebody actually has to read what was put there. Maybe I'm disillusion. I figure if at least one person...
