  1. You’ve just committed libel, why would anyone listen to you.
  2. No it won’t. Inflation wasn’t caused by union onion pickers.
  3. Americans occupy the majority in all fields. There are no jobs Americans won’t do.
  4. It always amazes me to see how sucked in people get to the state line/propaganda. It’s apparent that the conundrum is acknowledged when he goes from saying “provide dirt” to “shady business deals.”
  5. It’s like my old history professor said: there’s the reason something happened, and there’s the excuse for it, and they aren’t the same.
  6. I’m suggesting that there is clear deliberation to the extension of the pardon to 2014, before Hunter took a position on the board of Burisma.
  7. There is concern that this meddling by our State Dept. and CIA is responsible for the hundreds of thousands dead and billions spent on the war with Russia. Putin has said as much.
  8. All while the dead man’s criminal history suggests he shouldn’t have been out on the streets; that fault lies with the courts.
  9. I’ve occasionally had the same issue. Not real recently, but it’s like he said, other sites are okay when it happens.
  10. There are many unexplained issues involved that will likely be explored for a long time. State Dept. and CIA involvement in a coup, a couple of elections, bio-labs, gas and oil , NATO missile threats. Hunter and Joe made millions. People want to know what they did for the money.
  11. One would think that members of the jury would reject the coddling of criminals that the prosecutors and courts have been practicing.
  12. He got it exactly right. It is you, again, that is off on your own personal tangent.
  13. When did his electricity come back on?
  14. Looking for a suckers bet? The military needs purged. There are as many General officers now as at the end of WWII when the military was more than four times as large. You said US civilians - not US citizens - there is no doubt the National Guard, Armed Forces, and Reserves are likely to be involved in deportations. Some may be housed on military installations. Get over it.
  15. The ex spurts aren’t liberal, they’re Marxian.
  16. Requesting asylum isn’t illegal, in itself; making false statements is.
  17. This is a slightly different take from The Federalist: https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/27/trump-transition-team-is-rightly-wary-of-sleazy-general-services-administration/ ‘Stealing records and sharing the victim’s private information isn’t any way to build up trust,’ said Sen. Chuck Grassley.
  18. “A recently reprinted memoir by Frederick Douglass has footnotes explaining what words like "arraigned," "curried" and "exculpate" meant, and explaining who Job was. In other words, this man who was born a slave and never went to school educated himself to the point where his words now have to be explained to today's expensively under-educated generation.” Thomas Sowell This is evidence that the department of education is a complete failure.
  19. I don’t think it takes an Ivy League degree to understand that.
  20. I read German auto mfgs. are looking to move to other countries due to energy prices at home.
  21. I’m thankful my Injun ancestors didn’t kill my European ancestors but instead went forth and multiplied.
  22. The nomenclature for leftist is slippery. They claim ‘liberal’ until it becomes toxic, and then they switch to ‘progressive’ like when Hiliary claimed to be a Wilsonian progressive and Margaret Sanger progressive. Both were deeply flawed, intensely racist individuals. The basis for this liberal progressivism is Marxian, and Orwellian, in that it is not progressive at all, but is in fact regressive to individual liberty. While classic liberalism is based on individual liberty, the Marxian model is based on conformity in order to support the collective. Individualism is seen as non-conformity and subject to discipline. As far as unions go, they have their ups and downs. They were important in establishing fair labor standards but they went overboard. A union welder told me he got in trouble for turning his machine on to start work one morning. He was told that they had a machine operator who would do that and he was taking another man’s job away by turning it on himself. Another union man said that it was his goal to see to it that the company didn’t make any profit. Some union apprenticeship programs are excellent. Apprentices come out, money ahead, highly skilled, capable of doing excellent work. When locals have the right attitude and can send these tradesmen out, they are the preferred competitors, as the quality of their work proves to be economical over time. With labor laws as they are, there’s no place, or need, for public sector unions. Teacher, police and fire, air traffic control, etc. Civil service jobs included.
