  1. Under the current administration homelessness has increased 12.1% from 2022 to 2023. I wonder what could be done to help our homeless situation if the laws on the books were followed and migrants crossing illegally were jailed and immediately sent back.......I bet a plane ticket is cheaper than 3-5 years of housings Where is the outrage from the left that immigrants are being treated better than our own citizens? While I think there should be limits on financial aid, if we are going to spend it, lets spend it on our own citizens. [Hidden Content]
  2. That all you ever have......lol My point still stands, you have selective outrage......
  3. You made that up just to post it.....I'm not poor and I think $15 hour is to much for a burger flipper. Why not just make it $50.00 an hour.....Lets give ABSOLUTLEY no incentive to do better to make more money..... I don't see you posting and showing any outrage at all the money the government is spending housing ILLEGAL immigrants, while our own citizens are sleeping on the street......
  4. "Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman's fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes," Melania Trump writes in her upcoming book.... If a man has no say.....then why should he be financially responsible? I was lucky as to have joint custody of mine and didn't go bankrupt. I know people who have had to pay A LOT of child support and don't even get to see the kids daily......
  5. If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory. Directly from the bill....... The one thing your word document said correctly is The President has the power alone to shut down the border (just like Trump did).....Which is why Trump is double digits ahead of Harris on the border
  6. Who should we take care of first, our own citizens or immigrants coming across illegally and trying to bypass the system. It is a pretty clear answer to me......
  7. The bill creates a new statutory authority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to close the border to people seeking asylum after certain “trigger numbers” have been met. If over the course of seven days, the cumulative number of people arriving at the border (at or between ports, and regardless of whether they are actually processed for asylum) reaches 4,000, the authority is discretionary. If that number reaches 5,000 or a single day’s encounters exceed 8,500, the authority is mandatory. @Big girl - you should really read bills before you comment on them. It makes you sound uninformed......
  8. They should of just expanded Medicare and Medicaid to treat people who either can't afford to have health insurance or their employer does not offer. They should of left the private sector alone. There was no need for insurance for all..... The other issue is some folks are not responsible enough to get and maintain insurance. In my profession I see MANY people who make really good money, but have sorry credit because they don't pay their bills on time. There are also some that KNOW if you're sick and call an ambulance, they HAVE to transport you to a hospital(money or no money) - they also know if they walk into a hospital, they cannot be refused treatment......This is why a week stay in a hospital would bankrupt most people if they had to pay.
  9. Vance won the debate easily...... It may have swayed some independents to Trump side.
  10. It let 5000 immigrants in per day - that's 1.8 million a year.....I'm glad that bill did not pass.
  11. Before Obamacare - my deductible was $250.00 Now, best Deductible is $2500.00 The concept is not flawless......
  12. There may be some truth to that.....They are currently being attacked by a country and by a terrorist group under our current weak administration
  13. The fact you both point out lies of one but not the other...... "with my healthcare plan, you can keep your Doctor" Probably the most costly lie to date
  14. Iran attacks Israel....... Russia attacks Ukraine (under Obama AND Biden) 2 assassination attempts on Trump Meanwhile, Some time in 2019, the world is safe enough for President Trump to be the first President to step into North Korea.... One could almost say the current administration's foreign policy is a disaster........LOL
  15. 08-27-2024 State Today Harris +1 Arizona Trump +1 Trump +.6 Georgia Trump +.7 Harris +.6 Nevada Harris +1.5 Harris +1.6 Penn Harris +.8 Harris +3.8 Wisc Harris 1.8 The race is tightening up. I'm using 538, which takes an average of several polls. 8-27-2024 is when I made this original post. If I was a Harris supporter, I would be concerned. While the polls have not been perfect, 538 was the most accurate, and the one consistent is Trump has out performed the poll numbers in 2016 and 2020.....
  16. Hard to believe someone that desperate.....Based on his face covering, you would never convivence me he didn't plan to kill someone that night.
  17. It wouldn't if you don't have a sense of humor
  18. (Kiddingly) We’re building a Wall in Colorado”(then stated, “we’re not building a Wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the Wall we’re building on the Border”) referred to people in the very packed auditorium, from Colorado & Kansas, getting the benefit of the Border Wall! Just like the dictator comment....... One thing about Trump, he knows how to stay in the news and keep people talking about him.....lol
  19. Could just be me, but seems they are going after a guy who has been vocally critical of the immigration policies of the current administration. Specifically, Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later in exchange pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, the indictment says. I believe the luxury travel was upgrading to first class......and opening a building by "pressure"..........Seems a little trivial to me..... I don't even like the guy, but we are going to have no smart people running for office any more out of fear of getting criminally charged. Even when you're innocent, they can bankrupt you in legal fee's
  20. Terrible situation. I was so lucky back in my 20's and 30's. I've been on the water and drove boats all my life. Back in the day drinking was part of my boating and fishing routine. I was fortunate to never even have a close call. Game wardens were a lot more lenient back then. I remember I was in a 14' aluminum boat with a 25hp merc. out in Buck Bay at Rayburn, honestly way too far from camp in that small boat.....get stopped by warden, ask to see in ice chest.....a BUNCH of empty beer cans (I've never littered), he said, looks like your catching those 12 ounce fish".......told me to be careful and took off. Today I would of been arrested.
  21. I bet he sells everyone of them......but I won't pay 100K for a truck.
