It will be 10 years and $100 billion before they complete the first house. $100K for construction costs and $99.9999 billion for democratic party constituent organizations and DEI studies of the communities. Then in the year 2034, blame Trump for the delay!

If his nephew Fred was a neurologist I'd put some stock in that assessment. But I'd temper that with some knowledge of the state of their relationship and Fred's political inclination. Finding objective people in these times of extreme polarization of views is difficult. I don't think he's showing signs of a degenerative neurological condition. But I do question his judgment. Like his picks for VP. Neither Pence or Vance bring any additional constituency to the table. Both head scratchers to me. And while he claims to be committed to draining the swamp if you look at his previous cabinet appointments the entire lot of them were swamp creatures, never-Trumpers, and assorted neocons. Not a "populist" or working type guy among them. And people wonder why none of them have endorsed him? Its obvious why. I think Trump is a blowhard narcissist that has little to no grasp of details regarding most issues but he's pretty much the only game in town when it comes to challenging the Washington establishment that is running our country into the ground. They've use every swindle and hustle in the book to get him. Biden's administration has been a disaster and Harris/Waltz would be even worse. Neither to this point has expressed anything new or original. Its the same old income redistribution vote getting scheme that always ends in tears with a sprinkle of the required identity politics hustle. I expect Trump would do slightly less damage. Either way I expect disaster is in our future. Personally preparing for it will be critical to survival. As for enthusiasm for the presidential race, the choice between Harris and Trump is like asking me if I'd prefer the gas chamber or the electric chair.

We can speculate, like we did with Biden. There was some push back to that but in the end the speculation proved correct. With Trump we can speculate too. And there's push back too. But to this point there's no medical evidence or observable pattern of behavior that he suffers from some form of cognitive impairment (other than narcissism) consistent with the behavior we've seen with President Biden. Who by the way, shouldn't be President any longer given his condition. I see this speculation merely as tit-for-tat "hey our guy is cognitively impaired by age and a degenerative neurological condition but your guy is too". So you don't win here because we're even".

I'll wager that proponents of the idea would change their tune if they were required to directly fund the program at say $10k each. Generousity knows no limits when it comes to spending somebody elses money. And there's no bigger culprit of that than Americsn politicans buying votes with your income.

The problem is the Federal government doesn't pay anything back. As demonstrated by an ever increading national debt of over $35 trillion. It's why the national debt keeps rising and interst payment on the debt will exceed $1 trillion. A trillion is what? A 1 with 12 zeroes. 40 million $25k tax credits? They issue new debt to pay off old debt. That's called a Ponzi scheme. If you want to stop inflation stop printing money. They won't, neither party.

The story is always the same. The promise of help and "free" stuff is very alluring. At no cost. Get it from the wealthy. They don't "need" it and likely made it off the backs of exploiting workers or some other under-served group. Pay their fair share they shout! But it requires the force of government to steal the property of somebody in order to "give" it to somebody else (minus the government's vig). Its when the free stuff runs out that people wake up. But that's too late. They're in power and they won't give it up. And they'll inflict government sponsored violence to prove it. Citizens are now Subjects. It's a deal with the Devil.

Quoting Time Magazine proves nothing and is just making my point. The people spreading disinformation are the people saying Musk is assisting the spread of disinformation. The lesson is their government sucks ass.

This morning's news featured the latest on the DNC convention opening with the usual ball-washing of the Harris/Walth ticket. The video clip of the two coming onto stage at a rally showed Tim giving the crowd a traditional Chinese bow. An unintentional "tell". I noticed the party of the people and defenders of democracy are erecting a fence around the parameter of the United Center to keep the people out. Apparently many are dissatisfied. And also apparent, contrary to the views of the participants that will be inside the event starting Monday fences do indeed work. Something human builders have known for thousands of years but liberal geniuses claim is false.

Musk bought Twitter and promptly took the censorship filters off and allowed the community to express their views freely. How is that authoritarian? And suddenly he became personal non grata to the left and a multitude of government bodies and officials because he would not comply with their demands to censor contrary opinions, critics, and skeptics. Defying the power and bringing their rath upon himself. It may come as a major shock to your thought process but government and authorities do not always tell the truth. They are responsible for creating and spreading most mis and dis information. They "avoid transparency and truth at all costs".If you actually believe you support freedom and democracy you're rooting for the wrong team.

It does make our country less self-sufficient and subject to supply disruptions but playing the game with the world's reserve currency we exchange real physical goods for pieces of paper converted into Treasury bonds that fund the US government's deficit that allows this money printing game to play out. Then print out more money to pay them off. Wouldn't it be great to have a printing press in your own basement and creat money out of nothing? Or be a bank? Be at the top of the global finance system? Produce nothing and live better than people that do real work. That's the bankers and the US governments life. The system's been a great benefit but it will end at some point and the costs will be extreme

So what? Because residents of the US commit murders and other crimes, the negative consequences of the government's open borders policy resulting in importing murderers and other criminals can be statistically expunged?

Many have lost sight of the fact Obama is 1/2 white.

I like to watch the news if only to catch the subtle and not so subtle biases in the media. And not just when it comes to Trump. But the above is easy. Both tax on tip proposals are basically the same but only Trump's mentions any cost to tax revenue. The Harris blurb is all hearts and flowers. Maybe notice she is back grounded by a diverse group of enthusiastic supporters and Trump stands alone with a MAGA hat to boot. (FUNNY WHEN I TYPED MAGA HAT MY PHONE AUTOCORRECTED TO MAGA HATE, is that a feature with google?) His new theme MAAA, make America affordable again might throw them a bit. One hilarious thing with the local news is they won't identify crime suspects by race or other visible characteristics. They say the suspect was wearing black pants and a white tie shirt. If viewers have seen this suspect contact police. I saw 20 such suspects over the course of 5 minutes yesterday. Should I call it in?

The guy's probably "good people" and a registered Democrat with a NYS driver's license, prepaid debit card, getting multiple forms of social assistance living in a taxpayer funded 4 star hotel and other than murdering 23 people he's a humble gang leader here to work hard for a better life. That last part, right after the murders, is what the Harris supporters would say and to add to it would acuse me of hating brown people. Predictable gullible idiots. Perhaps I oppose the idea of importing killers. A concept beyond their comprehension. And they mock MAGA. They walk around with their noses in the air claiming superior intelligence but lack any degree of common sense.

They figure what's the difference which candidate they vote for in the primary. No matter which candidate the Democrats use as a front in the general election, Obama's crew are calling the shots. Everyone's excited about a 4th term that will match FDR.

Excuse the delay in responding. I think what's missing in the example of my higher quality, lower cost, higher pay scenario is a discussion of the governments "take" from the enterprise. They're not going to leave 100% of the profits in any arrangement like 99.9% for me and .01% for the workers. The government might want say, 50% and leave the remaining 50% to disperse between ownership and workers. its the name of the game after all, the beast of government needs lots of cash for spending and redistribution. And if I was running a private or corporate (if those things would be legal under the socialist system) company that was producing better products at lower cost and higher quality and paying workers more than the State run entities I suspect given the choice of competing with me in some "free" and fair market driven competition vs. using their power to shut me down they'd opt to shut me down. My problem with any government run central authority overseeing the economy whatever the system is the assumption that central planners know what the correct price or wage or the correct decision on any other financial or business decision when it comes to running an enterprise. My brother worked many years in Washington. His experience ranged from field work to running budgets and projects. At places like DOJ, Department of State, DHS, DEA. We talked many times of how the government functions. I talked about my experience in the private sector. One topic we discussed inefficiencies. He unequivocally stated the difference between my private sector company and the government is that if my firm was inefficient or poorly run it will go out of business but if the government is inefficient and poorly run (which it is), they'll just keep going and piling more funds and spending into a rat hole. It all sounds good in theory but in practice that's the ultimate end for any form of socialism.

I'll say you appear to be proficient at the use of logic. I think the major problem we face as an ongoing nation is that almost everyone of all political persuasions in government leadership positions running the country lack that skill set.

What's next? Land reform policies. Waltz could lead this as his past activities and interests demonstrate he loves the communist Chinese system and government.

The premise is the general population is at low risk if they avoid gay sex. The data on cases to date makes that clear. That's the message but its something we're not supposed to say. Because we're not supposed to offend anyone we need to play this charade that everyone is at high risk.

I think history shows it didn't work and armed with that knowledge, and other examples of controls, we all should agree the Harris proposal is doomed to failure, has many potential unintended consequences, and therefore is a bad idea. The problem with government and bad ideas that don't work is they rarely acknowledge that outcome but rather take the bad idea and do more of it until it works. Which doesn't happen. And if I recall the Nixon administration's actions didn't they impose both wage and price controls? I'm wondering if any of the best and brightest economists in our country advising the Democrat's nominee comprehend the basic economic concepts of elastic and inelastic demand and that producers and service providers will pass on costs such as wage increases due to things like minimum wage laws or price increases in inputs like raw materials due to shortages and disruptions in supply chains onto their customers?

This sabotage was a military level US-led operation and the recent move by the Germans is an attempt to deflect blame away from the US and some NATO members and throw Ukraine under the bus. Apparently Volodymyr exited Poland back to Ukraine because the German government somehow forgot to alert EU countries about their interest in the suspect. So Polish border guards let him cross as there was no official alert issued to detain him.

Seems like the sensitive crybabies prefer the Democrats offering of polite authoritarians and gentle fascists.

Just look at the source. These are the same slow-witted morons here that defended Biden until the end, even though it was obvious he was cognitively impair more than a year ago. Then when it was impossible to hide it any longer, they received new instructions from the party. Suddenly they all shifted their story and agreed in unison that he had to go. No surprise there. And now Democratic party village idiot Kamala has been ordained by the party leadership and the prostitutes in the media as the 2nd coming of Christ. Just remember, they're going to "save democracy". Whatever their definition of democracy is.

You're just pissed that Biden was exposed as mentally compromised so your cult is lashing out with claims that Trump is mentally compromised too. Because it can't be just you folks that got fooled by Joe's handlers hiding his condition. Which I might add, a lot of objective observers noticed a long time ago. No, Trump fooled everybody too. So were all even! Nobody's buying this slurring narrative except the usual suspects that swallow every bit of propaganda out of the party. I'm not sure why you're team would want to eliminate Trump? If the nominee was Haley I'd expect she'd clean Kamala's clock in a contest.

Who's buying?
