Other reporting shows more money, more outlets. 34.3 million to Politico over ten years with the bulk being during the Biden administration. “According to USASpending.gov, the federal government paid Politico more than $34 million from fiscal year 2016 through 2025. Politico's affiliate, Capitol News Company LLC, received another $4.5 millionfrom fiscal year 2011 through 2023.” https://www.theblaze.com/news/politico-s-30-million-government-subscriptions-scandal-exposes-taxpayer-dollars-flowing-into-corporate-media

Understatement of the month.

The slush funds are drying up.

They can use their rocket and tunnel money for anything they need.

@Bigbrog’s question at the bottom of @Caveira’s post. “Do "news" organizations normally get federal funding?”

I thought he said they should move to Egypt and Jordan while Gaza was rebuilt. The place is hardly livable now and will remain that way for a long time.

Maybe we need to put teachers on commission.

I’m as curious to know how they plan to live there in its current state.

Of course, you’ll have to qualify. It’s not like they let just anyone in. 1. Skilled Migrant Category Visa This visa is ideal for skilled workers whose talents are in demand in New Zealand. It works on a points system that considers your age, qualifications, work experience, and job offer in New Zealand. Key Details: You must be under 55 years of age. English proficiency and good health are mandatory. A minimum of 160 points is required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). If your EOI is selected, you’ll receive an invitation to apply for residency. 2. Work to Residence Visa This visa is a good option if you want to work in New Zealand before applying for permanent residency. It is for people with job offers from accredited employers or individuals with exceptional talent in their field. Key Details: You must work for two years under this visa. After this period, you can apply for residency under the Residence from Work category. 3. Entrepreneur Work Visa Do you have a great business idea? The Entrepreneur Work Visa allows you to start or purchase a business in New Zealand. Key Details: You must have at least NZD $100,000 to invest in your business. You’ll need to submit a detailed business plan showing how your business will benefit New Zealand. After running your business successfully for two years, you can apply for permanent residency. 4.

Student Visa If you’re planning to study in New Zealand, the Student Visa is for you.

Did politico make payroll?

Talk about the mentality of a sheep. As long as I get my feed, I don’t care about anyone or anything else, and I don’t mind getting sheared, it’s not so bad. That’s the predominant thinking in those countries where people shut down and hide when the subject of politics comes up. There’s a poem about that attitude. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller Some of us are proud to participate in citizenship.

Definitely.

Their numbers are dwindling.

Rekd Vaking and Tripandslip are evidence that the dimocrats didn’t learn from the election and the improvements are likely to continue past the midterms.

Then you’re answer would be - the square root of two. It’s something like 1.414.

pause: a temporary stop temporary: not permanent

I wonder what style negotiator he would call O’bama and Biden and Bush?

What is it about the word ‘pause’ that is so hard for dimocrats to understand? They couldn’t understand it when Trump and Pennsylvania legislators asked Mike Pence to pause the electoral vote. They missed it when a pause was applied to non critical foreign aid. Now they’re misrepresenting it in regards to tariffs.

Can you imagine how it feels to be one of those noble lawfare lawyers who’ve lost their jobs at DoJ and FBI? Some of whom didn’t do anything worse than play around in Melania’s panties…drawers…you know what I mean.

She should have lied? More?

Was that a Rachel Maddow clip?

They hate America.

Plenty of people in North Carolina speak more highly of Samaritan’s Purse than FEMA.
