  1. According to Harry Enten of CNN, the majority of Americans favor Trump’s policies on immigration.
  2. No, it’s an organization, not a person. You may be thinking of the president of the SIEU.
  3. Ignoring everything done during the previous administration. Such as: 06.03.2025 Grassley Oversight Unveils Disturbing Extent Of FBI’s Anti-Catholic Bias WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) records revealing the Biden FBI’s anti-Catholic Richmond Memo was widely distributed to over 1,000 FBI employees across the country before it was publicly disclosed by a whistleblower in 2023. Per the Grassley-obtained records, the Biden FBI's targeting of Catholics based on biased sources was more widespread than previously known. In fact, Grassley found the FBI produced at least 13 additional documents and five attachments that used anti-Catholic terminology and relied on information from the radical far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). One FBI agent admitted over email, “[O]ur overreliance on the SPLC for hate designation [of traditional Catholics] is ... problematic.” A second FBI memo, released by Grassley, was drafted by the FBI Richmond field office for Bureau-wide distribution. The draft memo repeated the unfounded link between traditional Catholicism and violent extremism, but was never published due to backlash following the Richmond Memo’s public disclosure. The existence of this second memo contradicts former-FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony that the Richmond field office only produced “a single product.” Grassley is urging FBI Director Kash Patel to continue producing records related to the Richmond Memo’s origins, as well as former-FBI Director Christopher Wray’s misleading and obstructive response to Grassley’s oversight of the memo. “I’m determined to get to the bottom of the Richmond memo, and of the FBI’s contempt for oversight in the last administration,” Grassley wrote. “I look forward to continuing to work with you to restore the FBI to excellence and prove once again that justice can and must be fairly and evenly administered, blind to whether we are Democrats or Republicans, believers or nonbelievers.” Find Grassley’s letter and the released FBI documents HERE https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-oversight-unveils-disturbing-extent-of-fbis-anti-catholic-bias
  4. AI, tell me Trump is Hitler without telling me Trump is Hitler.
  5. It’s incitement, plain and simple.
  6. Who’s paying for the commercially made signs these ‘protesters’ are carrying? Seems to have been planned.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

  10. 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.
  11. Yet we have about 37 trillion that is. I don’t think you understand how much a trillion dollars is.
  12. Our legislators need to start budgeting for the best situation we can afford instead of the best situation they can dream up.
  13. There’s a whole lot more people making $100k than $10m, especially as taxable income.
  14. 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.
  15. We’ve the most progressive taxes In Europe the lower income levels pay significantly higher taxes.
  16. So the taxpayer with $837,800 taxable income pays $293,230 to the federal gov’t. God only wants 10%.
  17. 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.
  18. Now Biden knew how to swing a deal. You want to float a balloon? Show me…uh, Hunter the money.
  19. That they are primarily dimocrats - incapable and/or dishonest.
  20. 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
