We are having conversations about making sure all these folks get their benefits we are having conversations about cutting waste and fraud Why are we not having conversations to get people off these programs?? That is a bunch of people that can't take care of themselves........ [Hidden Content]

No one likes losing

Correct, but when the left leaning Washington post tells Democrats to stop holding the government hostage, you may have a problem..... From the article..... "The right answer is to reopen the government with a clean funding bill, ideally for a full year, to get food stamps flowing and federal workers back in the office, and then have a debate about ACA subsidies," the Post editorial said. "Democrats openly acknowledge that they refuse to do this because it would mean giving up their leverage. If they persist, it could mean families start to go hungry." [Hidden Content]

For the size of your house, that is not a bad bill. I'm single and mine is 1700 sq ft and highest in summer is 200ish. I do wish we had options.

Why is it acceptable to you to only enforce the laws you agree with ? Shouldn't we enforce all laws? I speed on occasion......If caught, I expect to pay a fine, I'm not entitled, I l know the risk before I do it.

That would be a great point but he has never been convicted of rape. Biden, however, showered with his daughter and Ashley confirmed during the trial of the folks that stole it....... Why don't you call Biden a Pedo? [Hidden Content]

I have a feeling you are going to be disappointed. My other questions, is one of the "Victims" threatened to release "the list" she created if Docs were no unsealed..... Why does she not make it public? My guess there is no list and she was paid by Epstein's estate and if she discloses any info (true or false) she will forfeit the money......So, maybe the money is more important than the truth....... None of the parties opposed unsealing a significant majority of the documents sought by the Times and the Journal, according to the judge’s order. But certain redactions, even in those filings, must remain. “All the parties agree that, because Epstein’s victims have strong interests in their privacy, the victims’ identifying information should remain sealed,” Rakoff wrote in a 17-page ruling, which was dated for Friday but docketed on Monday morning. JPMorgan Chase objected to unsealing 36 of the exhibits sought by the newspapers.

May I add the ACA was passed with not one Republican vote, along with 34 Democrats joining Republicans in the NO vote.... ACA is 100% a Democratic problem. They are holding out to continue to fund this bill that was not as promised.

That was a bizarre question and answer..... Just remember - Bizarre does not equal criminal

Strange because people are spending money in stock market right now

Trash was when inflation was 8% and higher today it is 3%...... Some things are still high, but somethings are still reasonable.

Do everyday workers have a 401K? Wal-Mart , Lowes, Home Depot, Starbucks, Family Dollar, Dolla General - they all have 401K's - market should affect them.

BUMP Tariff discussion was almost to the bottom of page 2.......hmmmm Anyone notice anything with the stock market yesterday? Looks like we are finalizing a deal with Japan and China. Anyone change their minds about Trump and the tariff's?

I think this is the elephant in the room that no one wants to address. There are so many people that work crappy jobs to support themselves and their families and never think getting government assistance. Yet there are TOO MANY that just accept Government assistance. We somehow have to convince people they will he happier and have a sense of pride when they work and EARN a living..... My Father taught me several things, but his most important were life lessons......here are the ones that stuck with me (that I also taught my Son) 1. There is no embarrassment in having a low wage job - embarrassment is when you have no job. 2. When you are at work, if there is nothing to do, grab a shovel and dig a hole......when you're done, if there is still nothing to do, fill it up. Repeat until there is something to do lol 3. Never place your hands in your pocket when you are at work, that is a sign of lazy. So basically his thoughts were there is no reason to not have a job. He worked an instrument mechanic for "Gulf" and very good at that job. When they would strike, he would go work at the Orange Rice Mill slinging sacks of rice off the trains, or work at a body shop, painting cars. He was a worker! THAT is the mentality we need to establish in 2025 - too many people expect things for free and the Government has also been a player making it too easy to get free stuff.

Wal-Mart in PA

There is no world where Kamala wins a primary after her awful last run. Another run would be horrific..... While Kamala holds a lot of responsibility with her losing, the Democrats set her up in a no win situation IMO. She needed to separate herself from Biden while still being his VP......that is a tough road.

Trump finally admits he is not going to go for a third term......He is so good at controlling the media.... Right now I don't see any Democrat beating a Vance/Rubio ticket, especially on the debate stage, as well as the GREAT work Rubio has done with our foreign policies.....If by the end of Trumps term, the trade deals are solved and all of the wars are ended.......I don't see how they get beat.... I do understand we have 3 years to go and ANYTHING could happen...... Trumps words,,,, "We have great people. I don't have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here. We have JD, obviously. The Vice President is great. Marco is great, I think. I'm not sure if anybody would run against those. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable," Trump said. [Hidden Content]

There is actually positive things going on about the trade deals in China. Trump just overseen the signing of a peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand.....as well as 18 Cambodian soldiers. I paid $2.29/gallon for gas yesterday.....

And why would you want to cut Military spending? There are 8 conflicts going on, Trump made peace deals with 7 - Ukraine and Russia is NOT looking good. While I think we could end Russia pretty quickly, that is only because we fund our military

NO - unless you want to be talking Chinese or Russian someday

If Republicans don't budge, America is about to see how much Obamacare REALLY cost without using taxpayer dollars to actually pay the insurance companies the actual premiums needed for all the mandatory coverage provisions Obamacare imposed...

He also asked for immunity....lol If you innocent, why would you need it. Trump didn't pardon his family when he left his first term.....because he knew they were innocent If you apply that to Biden........

I guess the FBI has a solid case on this one.....

It is not Jack Smith's choice...... Just like they did not allow Hunter to try and demand a public versus private....
