What are you doing about it? Who gave them a billion dollars with no restrictions on its use? You and your cohorts, CONGRESSMAN. Stop whining and get to worlk. You and your colleagues have completely abdicated law making and the power of the purse to the swamp so I find it quite frustrating when you then whine about it afterward.

When is a good time for a crippling strike? Would good timing have been to strike during COVID shutdowns? By bad do you mean "in the union's interest"? Maximum pressure is the point of a strike.

Which leaves the question open if he is or is not a kangaroo.

How do we differentiate between a legal migrant and an Illegal alien? One is a migrant. The illegal one is a crimmigrant.

This is not hard. Tax the electricity upon input to the vehicle. Just like we tax gasoline now - when and where it is dispensed. No tracking the car. Heavier and less efficient vehicles pay more road tax per mile than lighter more efficient ones. The concept already exists. Just implement it. Actually, hybrids like the Prius are the tricky ones. Plug in Hybrids just can pay taxes at the pump and at the electric meter. But Prius-type hybrids only input energy at the pump. Those are the hard ones to tax appropriately for road use.

Do consequences for actions - especially bad consequences for bad actions - ever really change anything? Yes.

This is the most disturbing part of that article. It seems about 10 times higher than the number of agencies/sub components should be given the things the Federal government is authorized to do in the Constitution.

More examples leftie hyper-radicalism: No vax - no job. No vax - no access to medical treatment. No vax - sent to internment camp (I wonder if they intended the camp to be a 6 feet of separation camp - must be really big). Doubt climateer orthodoxy - sent to reeducation (maybe available online) and children removed from your household. Examples of rightie radicalism: Keep dudes with dicks out of my grand daughters' locker room. Praying for the souls of those killed in abortion clinics and of those doing the killing. Deplorable.

Writing in the Washington Post, the former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate (Hillary Clinton) said that her choice of words had been "unfortunate" and "bad politics" but it "got at an important truth." She went on to write that "deplorable is too kind a word for the hate and violent extremism we've seen from some Trump supporters." Of course, the assassination attempts are neither hateful nor violent in Hillary's opinion. But saying "All Lives Matter", "Ladies and Gentlemen", and "I Disagree with Gavin Newsome" should be punishable by incarceration.

I wonder if inflammable and flammable the same thing . . .

Unburden Kam-eleon from herself.

Yes.

Do-Nothing GOP congress I want congress to do less than nothing. I want congress to REMOVE laws, regulations, and impediments to freedom. Usually "do something" results in higher taxes, more regulation, less freedom. I think the term Undo-Things is an apt term. Congress, Please UNDO the power to legislate through regulation and administrative fiat that you have ceded to the swamp. Please UNDO the tax code and reduce it to simplicity without phase ins, phase outs, deductions, reductions, credits, etc. etc. Give me an Undo-Things Congress (call them Do-Nothing if you like) and I will be very very happy.

Who is the idiot who posted this?!? I apologize to my brethren (and sistren) on this board. My grammar, punctuation, and self-proofreading have eroded. I used reign instead of rein recently. I mistype and/as; the/then/them/that, etc. You deserve better attention to detail and I intend to raise my game.

Official Disinformation (much more of a problem than Misinformation) - what to do when that is the problem? https://townhall.com/columnists/stephenmoore/2024/09/24/is-washington-distorting-the-numbers-n2645170 FBI - Wrong BLS - Wrong Census - Wrong Etc. etc. It would be fine if the wrong was a "noise" component and showed a random walk on both sides of the truth. But when the WRONGs are always supporting a narrative from one side of the political aisle - which the swamp creatures happen to agree with - then we have a problem. The "professionals and experts" better get better at random wrongness because right now their serial wrongness in support of one side has obliterated the credibility of our neutral institutions. When law and order oriented people know the FBI is suspect and corrupt then their is a problem.

Whoa. Do we have a new name for RINOs? Trans-licans? Those are the ones who get a cranialectomy for their demmer-affirming care.

Your death or the death of the speech restrictors? Being willing to die for a cause is easy. Everyone dies eventually so it really is not a huge deal. The big decision is whether or not you are willing to help the other fellow die for his cause. If not then it is not much of a pledge. This, I think, is the whole point of the 2nd Amendment. It gives us the means to make the speech restrictors die for their cause. Do you (or I?) have the will to do it? I don't bring this up as an accusation or to belittle at all. I bring this up because I question if I will defend free speech to the point of making the other chap die for his cause.

I am paraphrasing here so some of the details may be wrong but the general situation is thus: The Arizona thing has to do with the idea of "ex post facto". People who registered to vote in the legal way prior to 1996 (or so) did not have to prove citizenship. They had to declare it. When the law was changed in AZ to require a proof of citizenship they grandfathered the already registered voters and allowed them to maintain their status without further administrative requirements. So, we have people who have been registered to vote for 28 years or more (i.e. 46 year olds and older) who the Supreme Court of Arizona found could maintain their voting registration status due to the fact that they registered legally when they did register. The idea that any random selection of 100,000 people in America over the age of 46 would lean republican is not very surprising.

Who decides? One man's truth and fact is dubbed by the rich and powerful (i.e. government) as misinformation. Just read nursery rhymes and Aesop's fables to learn about this phenomenon. The child who had the temerity to notice the emperor has no clothes in The Emperor's New Clothes story would certainly have been labelled a purveyor of misinformation if the Emperor and his ministers had the power to silence the child. "Reigning in misinformation" is as terrifying to a free man as "no one should have the means of resisting government authority (i.e. no 2nd amendment)". I am against reigning in misinformation because no amount of misinformation can ever be as dangerous and having the power to reign in misinformation.

Latinx. Rhymes with lynx and minks.

These are the economist cousins of the 51 intelligence officers who wrote a Russian hoax letter and the FBI "statisticians" who think, magically, no murders have happened in several major cities. They are also related to the top government expert who declared unequivocally that "Masks are not effective against an airborne virus" several days before he recommended full masking, double masking, lockdowns of every sector of the economy, closing schools for years, etc. All of these "experts" come from the same DNA (Democrat Nincompoop Academy).

We have layered government entities taxing you. The Feds get their slice but you also have to consider ALL of the money you pay to ALL of the governments. Social Security (you should count both yours and the employers' portion as the tax revenue generated due to your activities), FICA, Fed income, State income, State sales, local income, local property, all the excise taxes on fuels, all the fees you pay to the government to drive cars, have a pet, etc. etc. You should even count a portion of business/corporate profit taxes paid because those companies are paying their taxes with the revenue you provided by buying their goods and services - with money that was already taxed when you spent it. Same for all customs and duties fees paid by companies. They pay them in advance and then you reimburse them when you buy the goods. If you don't pay 46% or more to the governments (collectively) it is due to you either having next to zero economic activity other than working or you are receiving untaxed government money as your primary income source.

Taxes are very high based on history. The percentage of a person's income, or of GDP, that is gobbled up by government agencies is increasing. The silly concept that federal marginal income rate that applies to a small slice of the population means "taxes are up or taxes are down" shows lack of basic numeracy. Taxes are the highest they have ever been in terms of actual dollars paid by actual Americans to their various governments. Americans are paying the highest taxes in our history. BY FAR.
