  1. It’s incitement, plain and simple.
  2. Who’s paying for the commercially made signs these ‘protesters’ are carrying? Seems to have been planned.
  3. Yeah, I saw it, thought it was interesting, it reminded of a post you made, such a slow day on the forum, thought others might be interested in it too. I’ve been to CO, WY, and MT but it was before the reintroduction I guess.
  4. No, but I’d make a heck of a juror. You see, the people who decide your fate aren’t required to have a degree in anything. In many cases, judges aren’t required to be lawyers. Most are, but it’s not a requirement.
  5. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/06/02/when-and-where-to-hear-wolves-howling-in-yellowstone/
  6. You can’t? Because we can’t pay it off. Good debt is that which you can use to build enough wealth to pay off the debt and have more wealth than you started with. The interest rates are not all that high, historically. Yet the interest on our debt is higher than our defense spending, and headed towards being our biggest expense. And the only thing we have to show for it is a devalued dollar.
  7. Yet we have about 37 trillion that is. I don’t think you understand how much a trillion dollars is.
  8. Our legislators need to start budgeting for the best situation we can afford instead of the best situation they can dream up.
  9. There’s a whole lot more people making $100k than $10m, especially as taxable income.
  10. Soliman, his wife, and five children first came to the U.S. on August 27, 2022. They were granted entry until February 26, 2023. On September 29, 2022, Soliman filed for asylum, listing his wife and five children as dependents, in Denver, Colorado. This is from https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/04/secretary-noem-announces-ice-detains-boulder-terrorist-solimans-family listed as dependents, not individually visaed. That would mean they are dependents on an expired visa, otherwise known as illegal, wouldn’t it? It looks like a fraudulent asylum claim, as well.
  11. We’ve the most progressive taxes In Europe the lower income levels pay significantly higher taxes.
  12. So the taxpayer with $837,800 taxable income pays $293,230 to the federal gov’t. God only wants 10%.
  13. Beware false prophets. The new tax cuts are: no tax on tips; no tax on overtime; no tax on social security. The bill makes the current tax rates, which were established during Trump’s first term and never challenged during Biden's, permanent. The Medicaid cuts are to illegal aliens and those who are capable of working but choose not to. All children are still covered. The excess spending comes in part from continued funding for NGOs and Green New Deal Renewable Energy projects that have been started in Republican zones, their representatives not wanting to kill the cash cows even though it puts their constituents, and the country, in jeopardy. The money that goes to NGOs mostly winds up in the pockets of operators or anti-American entities. The Green Renewables are responsible for customers paying four times more for energy while receiving unreliable service. The gov’t just spends too much. Entire agencies and departments could be cut with no detriment to the country. Entitlement rolls could be cleared of the undeserving. The military spending could be pared with more efficiency. Higher income earners could pay more taxes. Yet, one of the most ridiculous statements made recently was that gov’t spending accounts for so much of the GDP that we can’t afford to stop borrowing money to maintain it. Try that at home.
  14. Now Biden knew how to swing a deal. You want to float a balloon? Show me…uh, Hunter the money.
  15. That they are primarily dimocrats - incapable and/or dishonest.
  16. Just like elections, it depends on who does the counting. The 2020 Census: According to the PES, which states had undercounts? Arkansas (-5.04), Florida (-3.48), Illinois (-1.97), Mississippi (-4.11), Tennessee (-4.78), and Texas (-1.92). And overcounts? Delaware (+5.45), Hawaii (+6.79), Massachusetts (+2.24), Minnesota (+3.84), New York (+3.44), Ohio (+1.49), Rhode Island (+5.05), and Utah (+2.59) https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/05/2020-census-undercount-overcount-rates-by-state.html
  17. McConnell appointed Lankford so he could stay out of the limelight. And yes, Lankford was threatened, and continues to be in hot water for his re-election chances. Again, we didn’t need a bill, we just needed a new president. And now it’s been solved. Not 4000, more like 4.
  18. The bill you’re touting would have allowed 4k+ illegals per day to enter, till today, and beyond. Trump wasn’t against it for a political benefit, he, and a majority of conservatives were against it because it was the wrong thing to do, and they voiced their opinion loudly. Lankford even voted against it. It was a Mitch McConnell bill. Now it’s solved, proving it never had to, or should have, happened.
  19. A new law wasn’t needed, a different President solved the problem.
  20. “The FBI went down to the infamous East Lake Street in south Minneapolis, near the epicenter of the 2020 George Floyd riots. Agents were there this afternoon to execute a court-ordered search warrant, in a high-risk criminal drugs and money laundering case. Given the geography, the FBI wasn’t kidding around: Homeland Security and ATF agents were there for backup, with logistical support from the local police and Sheriff’s office. The FBI took no chances, bringing more than enough manpower, firepower, and horsepower. But with DHS personnel involved, and the site being at or near a Mexican restaurant, false reports went out to the local activist community that a massive ICE raid was in progress.” https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/06/summer-of-love-2025.php
  21. You evidently don’t understand what you’ve read about it, therefore it probably wouldn’t be advantageous to bother looking into it any further.
  22. You give me a , and then roll right into making statements you know nothing about. Have some self awareness man.
