Not enough is being made of the fact that Trump virtually shut down the border without a congressional bill being passed. In other words, Biden and that mop head idiot he had for a press secretary lied repeatedly to the American public about the mess at the border. This is the problem in...

I've said this a million times. If Europe winds up in some kind of war, the US would be right there and fully committed to fight and die for European countries. But if by chance the US was invaded or our interests attacked, most of Europe would not come to our defense. That is a fact. We know...

This is 100% correct. After the reunification of Germany, NAO promised Russia they would not expand further east. They lied. Once there was talk of inviting Ukraine, Russia's immediate neighbor, into NATO of course Russia responded. And with good reason. If Ukraine joined NATO, the US and...

Who are the redacted names and why are they redacted? Flight logs mean nothing to me. Does anyone really believe Cate Blanchett and Stephen Hawking were up to no good?

How hard the task is is not really the point.

This seems like a petty issue but I think it is a bigger deal than many. If Trump was meeting Zelensky in Ukraine and Zelensky was wearing his faux fatigues it would be one thing. But western protocol is for world leaders to wear suits when discussing important issues. Zelensky showing up in...

I agree with you generally, but I have a few points. First, Trump is right. This was started because Biden was an incompetent. But the reality is, it did start. Russia was the aggressor although I can understand why talk of Ukraine joining NATO upset them. Now that the war has started, Ukraine...

I have posted about this before. Some states have already eliminated the Castle Doctrine, not by passing laws but by changing the authority of prosecutors and courts to prosecute people for defending their property. In NJ, you will already be prosecuted for defending your property with a gun...

I kind of agree with her. I worked in the private sector for years as both an individual contributor and a manager of people. I can imagine how much of a disruption an email coming from an outside organization directing everyone to do something, even a minor task like providing 5 bullets would...

This is a dumb idea and only feeds the trolls that constantly go after Trump. This has no value to the American people and just reinforces the attacks from Dems that Trump thinks he is a king. There is so much to be done to fix American in just 4 years, or 2 if Demos win back the house or...

I am seeing a lot of misdirected blame for the bloated government as DOGE fires thousands of government workers. The little people on the bottom rung of the ladder are not to blame for crying over losing their jobs. Sure some of them might be liberal Democrats, but the blame for the largesse...

Biden was a horrible president - or whoever was running the White House I should say. But I will still argue that Jimmy Carter was the worst president in my lifetime, and maybe in history. Both of these men were president for only 1 term and both presided over some pretty bad crises of their...

Higher prices is a symptom of inflation, but it is not necessarily inflation. When the price of oranges goes up because of a cold winter in orange producing states, that is not inflation, nor does it cause inflation. But when the government spends money then prints more to cover the debt, that...

Yes, sending out $5000 checks to taxpayers would be inflationary in the short term although when it comes to prices, what goes up does not come down. I would rather they cut the deficit, pay down the debt a little to strengthen the dollar, and maybe fix the tax system or ditch it altogether.

To be fair, the US defense expenditure is for all of US defense including domestic, and our military interests outside of Europe. NATO is primarily a European defense organization. If we account only for our European defense spending, it would be a lot closer to what the European nations are...

I noticed since we are having the coldest winter in years no one is saying much about global warming anymore. All those claims about each month being the warmest on record has stopped. Honestly, I prefer the warm weather even if it mean the quacks are out in force.

Assuming only those who pay taxes get a refund, then $5000 per taxable return would amount to $550 billion. DOGE has to find a lot more waste, although I think they can do it.

This is actually a very simple but informative video. It talks about a single detonation, but in a nuclear war, where 100 megaton bombs are used, it is more likely bombs will be falling all over the place. In that case get underground and cross your fingers but it is unlikely you will survive...

It should all go to pay down the debt and lower the budget. Then with the lower budget, cut taxes. on everything.

Actually, the FHA pulled its approval of the pricing plan. The governor of NY, who rushed it into place hoping to pre-empt any attempt by Trump to block it. It is unclear now what will happen. She says she will not remove the cameras of the pricing plan. People need to understand that...
