My Maserati does 285. ( I'm thinking 185 is too slow for that beauty!) I lost my license, now I don't drive!! mspart

yes, this is the case. Be quiet while the invasion happens and then yell and scream when someone tries to fix it. Homan said that the cities can help ICE and hand over the illegal alien criminals, or ICE can come in and round them up. If they find others that are here illegally, they will be arrested and deported as well. They have said what they will do and are doing it. All that needs to happen is for the cities and states to work with ICE and the baddies will go away and the others get to breathe awhile more until they run out of criminals to deport. mspart

https://readlion.com/oregon-now-spends-more-on-program-offering-free-health-care-for-illegal-immigrants-than-state-police/ Oregon will spend more in its current budget period on free health care for immigrants regardless of legal status than on state police by $500 million or more, according to state officials and budget documents. Oregon officials expect to spend $1.5 billion in combined state and federal taxpayer dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal aliens from 2025 to 2027. They expect to spend $717 million on Oregon State Police over the same period, the documents indicate. The federal government will supply 25% of the funding to provide health benefits to illegal aliens in Oregon, the OHA told the DCNF. Medicaid — the joint federal-state program that traditionally provided health services to children, pregnant mothers and disabled adults — formally bars illegal immigrants from receiving benefits. But some blue states have innovated creative accounting methods to extract federal dollars without the federal restrictions, according to the Paragon Health Institute, a non-partisan policy research group. Blue states will issue taxes on Medicaid insurers and providers, obtain a bundle of federal matching dollars for those funds, then return the taxed money to those institutions, the think tank points out. Spending on health services for illegal aliens in Oregon has climbed by at least 1100% since the program’s introduction roughly four years ago. The item in bold is describing a money laundering scheme to use federal dollars to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens. So let's not say it can't happen. The article says that too, but it is happening. mspart

This is the best Biden. RV, it was constant with Biden. When you can show such a montage for Trump, then you might be getting somewhere. mspart

As long as it is good cake!! mspart

This is the best assessment of our politics that I have seen. I'm not just sucking up here. This is very well reasoned in my opinion. Not living in FL I can't comment. But I think you nailed it there V. mspart

I know that in HI when I lived there, they put cameras on the H1 zipper lane and people rebelled. They took those summons to court and said where is my accuser. No cop was there to testify. The judges agreed and the cameras went quietly away. mspart

He gets credit for finding the west for goodness sakes and the migration began immediately thereafter. Someone would have done it but it was Columbus that did it. That is not in dispute. mspart

This. Thanks for proving my point. mspart

That word has been bandied about until it no longer means anything. This is an old trope and just doesn't mean anything to anyone anymore. Historians recognize that Columbus "found" the western world. That is what is celebrated. It seems evident that someone else would have opened the western world to the rest of the world eventually. But it was Columbus that did it first. Who gets credit for calculus? Newton, but Leibniz figured it out at near the same time. Newton got the nod. Nobody celebrates all the others int he world that didn't discover it. Who discovered relativity? If Einstein didn't do it, someone would have. But Einstein did it and he gets the nod. Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray famously filed patent documents on the same day in 1876. But Bell was first so he gets the nod. It's what happens in history. mspart
