Welcome to ShinyTurd.com

Polishing a Turd is the futile attempt at making something unpleasant, unintuitive, or unrealistic seem more appealing than it truly is. The end result is still nothing but a turd…a very Shiny Turd! This blog site is an open forum where civil discussion can take place on where you see the state of our country heading as our politically divided elected officials attempt to polish their unique turds to fit their agendas and convince WE THE PEOPLE that they are listening to us and are running the Country in the manner for which they were hired!

Nikki Haley wants to Raise the retirement age???

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was asked how she would manage entitlement programs to get control of America’s “soaring debt.” Her answer was to raise the retirement age from 65.

Haley said, “We change the retirement age to reflect life expectancy instead of cost of living increases. We do it based on inflation. We limit the benefits on the wealthy, and we expand Medicare Advantage plans.”

Haley did not specify what she thought the retirement age should be raised to, but she did say it would be tied to life expectancy. According to Haley, “65 is way too low” for the retirement age.

“Any candidate that says they’re not going to touch entitlements means they’re basically going to go into office and then leave America bankrupt,” she said.

“Social Security is going to go bankrupt in 10 years. Medicare is going to go bankrupt in eight,” the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations warned. “So the way we deal with it is we don’t touch anyone’s retirement or anyone who’s been promised in but we go to people like my kids in their 20s when they’re coming into the system and we say the rules have changed.”

Is our government broken?

Democrat or Republican or Independant, it seems that Washington DC is broken…It has become a place that continually plays the blame game, finger pointing, and spending a trillions of hard earned dollars in nonsensical ways. DC seems to be in a continual state of indictments, lawsuits, and contradicting each other. Sometimes it appears that the job of actually running our Country becomes a side hustle that makes them all rich at The People’s expense.

This has got to stop! We The People of the United States must fix the DC issue! The Constitution of the United States gives us the right to have a legal revolution every four years! It is our right and the duty to understand who is running for these very important offices, make the effort to vote, and elect folks that will uphold the Constitution, represent our states in DC, and do this with the upmost integrity.

We The People must get our country back on track.

What say you?

What if???

What if I am a biological male looking for a biological female, or vice versa? With all the craziness going on in this world, how do I know when I am pursuing a biological mate of my preference? I know that eventually it will become evident that the person I am seeking is biologically what I am looking for, but I find it difficult to believe that the human race has come to this. I have nothing against gender neutral, or self identifying individuals doing and acting the way they feel best suits themselves, but what about the rest of us?
