My oldest daughter and her family of my two college grand kids and son in law are heading out tomorrow for a 16 day western US vacation to do some exploring and sight seeing.

They'll begin in Californuttica in LaLa land where they'll meet up with my niece and her husband, both employed by the movie industry, and go up the coast a few days, and then go over the mountains east to go to Vegas, and the Hoover Dam and of course that Large hole in the ground we call a Canyon.. They'll go up to Tahoe and explore a little of Utah as well. I do not believe they will make it up Yellowstone though..

It'll be a long time of adventures and sight seeing.

She is the Biological Sciences Department Chair at her High School and was awarded her PHD by the University of Cincinnati after reviewing all of her work she already did toward that Doctorate. Now both of my daughters have Doctoral degrees. I am one happy and proud father.

I prayed a lot when they were being carried in my wife's womb and asked The Lord for them to be blessed with great intelligence and to be smarter than me.

He answered that prayer request and I could not be happier. I am the slacker with a Masters. Have no intention of working on going any higher so I will be happy to bring up the rear.. I'm good at that!

I can understand why many people are not spending money on vacations. Many are just making ends meet and there is a lack of security. There'a always an illegal waiting to take your place for a lot less cost to the employer..

The person allowing this invasion and takeover of the country to happen should be Hung for treason and all who were involved in this scheme. ALL democrats..

I wish they would get what's coming to them but nothing will.

In fairness to Joe, I don't think people take as many vacations as they used to. I haven't had one in more than 20 years - unless someone wants to argue that driving across the US to help my son move was a vacation, or flying to California to take care of my father, or making the same flight to bury my mother… Those vacations were only topped by those of you who received free two-year adventures in Asia.

Poll: Majority Not Taking Summer Vacation, 73% Cite Lack of Cash in Joe Biden’s America

by Wendell Husb0
Breitbart.com



Many Americans do not plan to enjoy a summer vacation in President Joe Biden’s America, a Fox News poll found in May, underscoring the economy as the number one 2024 issue for voters.

The Fox News poll found:

• Of the 55 percent who are not taking a summer vacation, 73 percent do not have enough money to do so.
• Seventy-two percent said higher prices impact their summer plans.
• Fifteen percent do not have time and must remain focused on the daily grind.


The last time a pollster asked Americans this question, in 2010, of those who were not going on vacation, only 51 percent cited a lack of cash, while 20 percent blamed a lack of time, Fox News reported.

Increased gas and food prices are major factors in Americans’ budgets, the poll found:

• Eighty-four percent said gas prices are an issue for their family, with 49 percent saying it is a huge issue
• Eighty-nine percent said grocery prices are an even greater concern, with 62 percent saying it is a major problem


The poll sampled 1,126 registered voters from May 10-13, 2024, with a ± three percent margin of error.

Prices across the board spiked under Biden. The average Wisconsin family spent an extra $21,981 because of the increased cost of living under Biden, the Republican National Committee (RNC) estimated in May.

Popeyes, Taco Bell, and Chipotle raised prices by at least 75 percent, according to the Food Institute. A McDonald’s Big Mac burger, a medium beverage, and a medium fry meal cost $18 in some locations, up $10 from 2018 when former President Donald Trump was in office.

As prices escalated, families racked up credit card debt and entered into delinquencies at an increased rate, the New York Fed found on May 14.

Fifty-six percent of Americans believe Biden’s economy is in a recession, and a majority blame the president, a Harris/Guardian poll found Wednesday:

• Fifty-five percent say Biden’s economy is shrinking
• Fifty-six percent say the economy is in a recession
• Fifty-eight percent blame Biden for the sour economy
• Seventy-two percent sense rising costs from an increased rate of inflation
• Eighty-one percent of Democrats say “Bidenomics” will have a positive lasting impact


Biden and his White House aides blame “corporate price gouging” as the driver of inflation despite signing massive spending packages that contributed to inflation and waging a war on American energy.
