On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

Here are the FACTS....
- One of the main pre-event soundbites of the COP26 summit was the call to ban coal, urged on by the conference’s president Alok Sharma as well as G20 countries, yet coal still has a bright future in Asia.
- Asia’s largest coal consumers, China and India, have been resisting any stringent commitments from the summit as they see coal as a key part of their generation capacity.
- In Asia alone, there are some 200 coal-fired plants currently under construction, 90% of global greenfield coal capacity, with China topping the list with 95 plants and India coming second with 28 projects.
- As of today, of the more than 2,600 coal-powered plants operating globally, 71% are located in Asia.

In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security .--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.
Stand in the sun? Comon man! You can't possibly be that dumb now can you? What do you pick cotton for a living? Stand in the sun?? Where? On my Caribbean vacation where I get waited on by.... ahem... We won't go there. Just let's have you Google "diseases that only black people get" and get back to me. Then we'll talk about the TRILLIONS of dollars sent to the motherland to feed the dark hordes. You know you can't last a month without feeding off the white teat!!

Rally around sisters.. Listen to the words... A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

We've heard this all before. For over a hundred years we've heard one after another after another "crisis" warnings. Start at the top....The dollar is strong, India is picking up Chinese manufacturing, Food despite shortage claims are plentiful, War drums are falling on deaf ears as Russia is in retreat, employment is rising, stocks are in a normal correction, jobs are plentiful, higher interest rates are welcome in order to cool inflation, housing prices when adjusted for inflation are NOT sky high! The poor have an abundance of safety net programs and job opportunities. Just like Y2K, 2008, and other scare tactics before it are just a fraud. The "stocks are crashing"??? Who says??
They are a whopping 13% off of their five months high!! Search for the Dow or NASDAQ chart. Look for yourself. Where's the " crash"???

美由紀ゴBOOM Yes, we are uncivilized because we don't accept two dudes ass surfing, illegal unarmed invaders flooding into our country, schools, and hospitals. Yes, because we don't accept giving Iran ONE BILLION in cash flown out on a plane during the dark, when it could not be filmed. Nor, collusion between Donna Brazil and CNN to provide Hillary with the debate questions, prior to the debate. Yes, we're uncivilized to think that the DEMOCRATS purposely screwed Bernie Sanders, in an effort to oust him from his candidacy. Yep!! That's us!!

Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.
But the federal government inflates the supply of new labor by annually accepting 1 million new legal immigrants, by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estateprices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-techinvestment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and collegeeducation, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
The cheap-labor policy has also reduced investment and job creation in many interior states because the coastal cities have a surplus of imported labor. For example, almost 27 percent of zip codes in Missouri had fewer jobs or businesses in 2015 than in 2000, according to a new report by the Economic Innovation Group. In Kansas, almost 29 percent of zip codes had fewer jobs and businesses in 2015 compared to 2000, which was a two-decade period of massive cheap-labor immigration.
Because of the successful cheap-labor strategy, wages for men have remained flat since 1973, and a large percentage of the nation’s annual income has shifted to investors and away from employees

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

Bad like this?
When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

Donald Smith Yakety Yakety yak.. Free college? How has free high school worked out? Broken down mess
, rubber stamping phony diplomas. "border crossings were never a problem in the first place"??? According to who? How about asking the border patrol? Maybe the towns and states affected by them? ELEVEN MILLION unarmed invaders, that are crowding our already burdened schools, hospitals, and jails? Sending money BACK to their home countries instead of spending it here? You don't see that as a problem? Unions have done more to LOSE jobs to foreign competitors than they have done to create ANY JOBS. Where is our ship building industry? Outside of government contracts.. GONE. Steel making.. GONE.. Countless manufacturing companies? GONE! All because of the relentless demands of union cronies. However, those Union jobs in city and state government are now threatening their governments with BANKRUPTCY due to pension obligations that can't be paid. You want to spread that across the nation? First, the communists masquerading as socialists cried jobs jobs jobs! Trump has brought the lowest unemployment rate in ages, and now the new drumbeat is wages, wages, wages. All the while supporting the flooding of MILLIONS of no skill workers into our economy! There is no "democracy" in an economy, any more than there is a democracy in your home economy. You can start a business with a lawn mower! You can start a cleaning business with a rag and bucket. If that's not acceptable, then shut up, go work for someone else, and go to night school to boost your skills. Blood sucking is not the answer. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/04/trumps-numbers-april-2019-update/

@dankokovacevic People fear for their lives when asked their opinion. Do you ask North Koreans how they feel about starving? Do you ask millions of Cubans held hostage to the communists? This is not the USA where you can shake your fist at the president. Look at "pussy riot" in Russia. What happened to them for criticism of Putin? Here..... CARACAS, Venezuela — The agents barged into the home of Yonaiker Ordóñez, 18, on Sunday morning as he slept. Dressed in helmets and carrying rifles, the men grabbed the teenager and forced him to another room without explaining why they came, his family said.
“They took him to the area behind and killed him there,” said his sister, Yengly González.
The operation resembled one of the many police raids against the gangs that terrorize Venezuela’s poor neighborhoods. But Mr. Ordóñez’s only crime, his family said, was that he attended a protest against the government days before.
President Nicolás Maduro is facing the biggest challenge to his authoritarian rule yet. Protesters are in the streets, an opposition lawmaker has declared himself the rightful president, a growing number of foreign governments have backed that claim and the Trump administration has intensified the pressure, cutting off Mr. Maduro’s access to oil sales in the United States — a principal source of his government’s cash.
In the face of the crisis, Mr. Maduro has hit back hard, sending out security forces to crush dissent in deadly operations that have alarmed even some of the president’s traditional supporters.

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

@vincentmcshan7817 Vince, when your lips part, does some outrageous exaggeration or outright lie just tumble out? The USA was never in the business of slavery! NOT ONCE did the US government own a slave. The ARABS have historically been the greatest slave traders of all time! Next, you have this loony 250 time line for a country wide use of slaves!! The Democrat Party was the party that promoted slavery. Lincoln was a Republican! We fought a war costing hundreds of thousands of WHITE LIVES and massive injuries to FREE the slaves mostly in the South. The VAST majority of blacks in the USA today have NO connection with slavery since their ancestors migrated here AFTER the emancipation proclamation. Will you argue for reperations for those YANKEE'S that lost ancestors in the Civil War as well? BILLIONS have been spent on minority programs, subsidies, educational grants, housing assistance, etc.. that were made available ONLY to minorities. We owe blacks OPPORTUNITY and nothing more. Not one cent. If you disagree, then begin by writing a check for YOUR share. Lead the way, instead of talking. Now search for "Larry Elder reparations Congress" here on YouTube, and educate yourself before revealing your poor education.

I was born into an Italian family. There are five boys. Oldest is 83, I'm the youngest at 70. We all eat just like our mother cooked. Hamburger, hot sausage, hot dogs, Kielbasa, Meta loaf, meatballs, spaghetti, all with very little exercise except walking. I and one brother were the only ones that ever went to the hospital which was because of gall bladder removal with him and kidney stones that I had. None of us like vegetables, none of us eat salads except an occasional side salad. We've smoked, drank, and watched our parents die in their 90's. We ignored the "food pyramid" advice from the experts, and eat a high fat diet along with copious amounts of pizza and Italian bread. If I get ten more years eating what I want, when I want, I'll die happy.

as Mark Perry put it:
In other words, if you don’t like an unflattering study from a team of researchers from the local university that accurately exposes some of the negative employment effects of the city of Seattle’s $15 minimum wage, you shop around – out of state in this case — for a more favorable study of that questionable and risky public policy experiment.
Yes, I do consider that shameless.
To return to the basic point that should be under discussion here. Absolutely everyone–well, OK, maybe not Nick Hanauer–agrees that there is some level of the minimum wage where the unemployment effects become a greater cost than the benefits of the higher wages going to those who remain in work. Obviously this depends a bit upon how you value higher wages and the costs of involuntary unemployment. But it also depends upon the size of the unemployment effect for different levels of minimum wage. The first is a matter of opinion, that second is a purely empirical matter which we can and should solve by data examination. Which is what the UW paper tries to do and it even flags up that we seem to have a rather larger unemployment effect from this latest rise. Which accords quite well with the old rule of thumb that this is likely to be true at around 50% of median wage. Which is why the boss of that Washington Post writer, Jared Bernstein, until recently supported a $12 Federal minimum wage and no more. Along with the EPI and many others in fact, even Hillary.
Thus we shouldn’t be looking for a duel of competing political theories and creating evidence to support them, instead, be actually observing the many natural experiments going on right now, including that in Seattle, to see what large minimum wage rises actually do.

usual suspects having already planned the funeral. Climate Change Anxiety Disorder, it turns out, is yet to impose its angst on the actual climate, no matter how hard the BBC tries to make it.
The latest observations show that Arctic sea ice is on course to have a greater minimum extent than in 2015 and 2016, and is running higher than levels seen a decade ago. Back then, the BBC reported that Arctic summers may be ice-free by 2013, although this estimate was described as being ‘too conservative’.
That prediction was spectacularly wrong, and contrary to warnings of an ‘Arctic death spiral’, sea ice extent has been remarkably stable in the last decade. No one can say what exactly will happen next; if this humbling affair teaches anything it should be precisely that.
The climate has misbehaved in other ways too. The Greenland Ice Sheet has been gaining mass at a record rate for the second year running, and Antarctic sea ice extent is perfectly normal relative to the 1981-2010 average. These facts get little coverage because they don’t sound alarming at all, and for most reporters that means they’re not news. These ‘inconvenient truths’ are nonetheless a helpful reminder that climate change coverage should be taken with a healthy dose of scepticism. There is a long way to go before we can make accurate predictions about how the climate will behave, if indeed we ever can.
Climate science has to be more deeply grounded in real-world observations rather than models that are inevitably riddled with flawed human assumptions https://youtu.be/mqejXs7XgsU

Davy Doo Ya dummy!.... Criminal offenses can be broken down into two general categories malum in seand malum prohibitum. The distinction between malum in se and malum prohibitum offenses is best characterized as follows: a malum in seoffense is "naturally evil as adjudged by the sense of a civilized community," whereas a malum prohibitum offense is wrong only because a statute makes it so. State v. Horton, 139 N.C. 588, 51 S.E. 945, 946 (1905).
"Public welfare offenses" are a subset of malum prohibitum offenses as they are typically regulatory in nature and often "'result in no direct or immediate injury to person or property but merely create the danger or probability of it which the law seeks to minimize.'" Bash, 130 Wn.2d at 607 (quoting Morissette v. United States, 342 U.S. 246, 255-56, 72 S. Ct. 240, 96 L. Ed. 288 (1952)); see also State v. Carty, 27 Wn. App. 715, 717, 620 P.2d 137 (1980

@arnibah I'm sure that you feel that way, because you are poorly educated and have a dim intellect. There is no "pain and suffering" of the poor. You are hallucinating. Did you know that the homeless in the USA is less than one half of one percent? Our "poor" that you insist are suffering have televisions, air conditioning, and cell phones. They have public schools, free Healthcare through medicade, and a monthly welfare check and food stamps. There are grants and loans for higher education, and right now a FANTASTIC job market that is looking to hire people at rising wages. People like you, see a rash and think there is cancer. However, I can with 100% accuracy tell you this, even though you will lie about it. I can tell you that you, yourself do LITTLE TO NOTHING to help the poor. You don't volunteer, you don't donate, you don't give ANY of your money to feed, clothe, or house people. You are just one of many moaners and complainers that attack the wealthy, attack the successful, attack the USA, but do NOTHING yourself for anyone. You can say what you want, but I know your type very well. Our "poor" aren't eager to leave for greener pastures anytime soon. But, you'll be there to complain for them.

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

@Wolfsheim23 You're wearing me out trying to help with your reading comprehension. "who do I think I'm talking to" Isn't that apparent? I'm talking to YOU. Are you surprised by that answer? And who mentioned this family? Certainly not me. Now, I don't know how you take it upon yourself to judge ANYONE saying they have "sick, narrow minds". Listen, let M give you some valuable advise. Life requires people of ALL KINDS. We need low IQ people to work on assembly lines and haul away the trash. The very very smart people look down on plumbers until there's shit on their floor. But, no matter HOW you fit in, you have to maintain SOME LEVEL of competency, honesty, and willingness to get along with others and work hard. These are traits that I find SERIOUSLY lacking in people today, and mostly young African American gang bangers, and their "I went to community College for two year" intellectual midget off springs. You know, the ones that use a high level of vocabulary, to say nothing. THOSE are the ones that need to leave this mass deviant culture of sick narrow minds that you spoke of. Get it?

@Jay496 And this is why the weak minded are so easily fooled. You just don't search for the TRUTH and the FACTS....
The Census Bureau currently recognizes five racial categories: white, black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Hispanic origin is asked about separately as an ethnicity and is not considered a race.
But when Latinos are asked whether they consider being Hispanic to be part of their racial or ethnic background, the survey finds that about two-thirds of Hispanics say it is, at least in part, their race. For the majority of this report, Hispanic origin is treated as an ethnicity, rather than a race, and multiracial Hispanics are those who say they are Hispanic and two separate races (for example, someone who is Hispanic and also chooses black and white as his or her races). This is consistent with how the Census Bureau counts mixed-race Hispanics. However, because Hispanic identity is tied to both race and ethnicity for many Latinos, Chapter 7 of this report explores a broader definition of mixed race.

Cash is not and should not be used as a store of wealth. It's a medium of transfer and nothing more. If I hold dollars, someone else determines their value, just like stocks. However, if I transfer the dollars into real estate, farms, business, or another income producing medium, then I can be protected from currency manipulation. How? Because, I can set the rent, grow the potatoes, or cut the hair and thus determine the value of the goods or service. When I'm paid, I quickly transfer that cash into more stores of wealth. It doesn't matter to me if the federal reserve devalues the currency by a thousand fold. I will charge a thousand times more for rent, potatoes, or a haircut. If no one has the money to buy my offerings, then I'm left with a building, a farm, and a hair salon. That's where the wealth lies. Not in pieces of paper that OTHER people determine the value of.

Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.

Coming from an Italian family, I grew up on ground meat, sausage, pork, bacon, and hot dogs. Very light on salad, pastry, and candy. I'm 70 now, the youngest of five, and we still eat the same. The oldest is 83, and overweight, but still doing great. Carbs are the enemy, not fat. Cereal, not sausage. Laziness, not lasagna. Moderation is king.

Danny F Look dummy. Personality means ZERO! It's about US the fn people. And what's happening to us. Half breed oba-mao was REAAAAL COOL RIGHT?? He doubled our national debt and left us with Mcdonald jobs, while business was moving overseas to excape the loonie left.. Here's THE REAL NEWS..... REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS
Nurturing a Small Business Boon
- The Washington Times
“As we mark six months since Mr. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, we continue to see more Americans working,” Administrator Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, writes. “With more money in their pockets, Americans are spending again — and that’s good news for small businesses.”
-------------------------
Supreme Court Rules that President Trump's Travel Ban is Constitutional
- CNBC
The Supreme Court found this week that President Trump’s order on travel restrictions falls “squarely” within his executive authority, Tucker Higgins reports for CNBC. “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
-------------------------
American Money Flowing Back into America
- Fox Business
“America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of [President Trump’s] tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — the most on record,” Suzanne O’Halloran writes. “This is why many economists are boosting their GDP forecasts to between 3% and 4%.”

- Journal Times
“The groundbreaking on Foxconn’s $10-billion factory to produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant represents a milestone for America,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross writes. “It would never have happened without the promise of the Trump tax cuts and the President’s personal intervention.”

Stand Tough on Trade: It’s a Start to Give Support to U.S. Manufacturing
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board writes that President Trump “is forcing a re-examination of America’s trade policies, and making other countries consider the consequences of the trade war they have long waged upon us.” The editors remind readers that “America has been reflexively globalist and anti-protectionist for a long time now, and it has not worked. The Rust Belt has been impoverished.”

President Trump's Approval Rating Rises Among Hispanics
- RealClearPolitics
In RealClearPolitics, Steve Cortes points out that the main driver of President Trump’s growing popularity is “a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.” Cortes explains that “as President Trump pursues policies that drive growth and public safety – such as tax cuts and cracking down on the MS-13 gang – no wonder his popularity rises apace among Latinos.”

Democracy Requires Borders
- Washington Examiner
The Washington Examiner Editorial Board argues that the open border ideology of Democrats and left-wing commentators “is as dangerous as it is unpopular.” The editors paint a stark picture of that policy’s consequencs: “Theoretically, we could give up on borders, as some seem to want. But that would mean giving up on having a democratic society.”

President Trump Will Protect US Farmers from China's Trade Retaliation
- USA Today
“President Donald Trump is standing up to China, which wrongly believes it can bully our farmers to get America to back away from defending our national interests,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes in an op-ed for USA Today. “He will not allow U.S. agriculture to bear the brunt of China’s retaliatory tactics.”

- The Philadelphia Inquirer
“President Trump’s commitment to a 355-ship United States Navy, together with this administration’s ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for United States industry, are creating the conditions for a more vibrant maritime industry and the rejuvenation of great maritime cities such as Philadelphia,” writes Peter Navarro, Director of the White House National Trade Council.

American Natural Gas Is Fueling the World’s Future
- Washington Examiner
Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes that “the United States is now producing enough natural gas and other fuels to be on the verge of energy independence. This positive development is untying the hands of our elected leadership, and enabling it to conduct foreign policy in a way that advances this Nation and its allies’ interests.”

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

Donald Smith Look, I understand now, why you are so confused. It's your idol Nome Chomsky! That explains everything! https://www.newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky .... Yes, public high school has been a tragedy. Test scores ALL TIME LOW. Drop out rate ALL TIME HIGH. International our students are near the bottom of the pack in standardized testing. Yes AMERICA IS OVERCROWDED.. The jails are bursting at the seams. Classrooms are bulgi G with non English speaking illegals. Meanwhile, your LIBERAL LEFT utopian state of California is seeing an exodus of business. People LEAVING in droves , being replaced by the illegals that are taxing the entire system. Just because you are a low wage, slave worker in the fast food industry, doesn't reflect on the average worker, in no way shape or form. Yes, real high skills flipping burgers, and filling ketchup containers! I just don't see you having answers for why these millions of poor people are desperate to get to the USA, fleeing your socialist paradises of Nicaragua and Venezuela? They are delighted to have those slave wage jobs that AREN'T AVAILABLE in the world of the workers paradise. $600 a month.. That's the average wage in Russia. PER MONTH!! Let see.. With an after tax pay of $10 per hour. That's 400 per week, or $1600 a month. A working couple brings in AFTER TAXES, 3200X12 or over 38,000 a year. Hardly starvation wage for ENTRY LEVEL work. Sorry, but that's why Bolshevik Bernie is floundering in the polls. No one is buying his OR your tale of misery in the heartland. 20,000 seat auditorium. 120,000 requests for tickets to hear Trump. Doesn't sound like angry, underpaid workers to me! Now listen. Your statements ONE AFTER ANOTHER are full of lies. Answer ONE AND ONLY ONE thing you've said... Border crossings are DOWN?? What are the facts? https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

@PenguinApple He's been doing INCREDIBLE things in these last two years, NONE of which have been more than barely mentioned in the media, and DESPITE his constant obstruction from the Democrats. The BIGGEST of which is to oversee putting Americans back to work. Hardly mentioned, and when it is, it comes with "this can't last", it's Obama economy, and doom and gloom is right around the corner! Obamao bad mouths the USA overseas, with barely a mention. Trump badmouths Biden and it's front page news! Even now, the jagoff democrats are STILL talking about impeachment, with a REPUBLICAN senate??? Now, they are mad about Trump EXPOSING all the classified information!! Mad about transparency? If he didn't, they'd say "what's he hiding"?? This is why democrats are losing elections. Two wasted years.. Thirty five million. End of story.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

Davy Doo OK. But, you only told half the story, you ignorant dufus. Let me school you... In court you are sworn to "tell the truth. THE WHOLE TRUTH. and nothing but the truth". Why is that dummy. Think about it... Because without the WHOLE story, you don't get "the truth".. Got that you brain of slug? Now, for your weak example... So, where did the druggie GET the joint? Where does that ILLEGAL rug come from? What if it was from a Mexican drug cartel that uses the money to KILL POLICE and POLITICIANS in Mexico? There's your victims. Let's say that he smokes and gets burned out like the toads in Jamaica and goes into work in Monday with THC still in his system and hurts someone. THERE'S your victim. Let's say he spends that money and as usual it's untaxed. BILLIONS OF DRUG MONEY is in the underground economy and goes untaxed instead of into schools, hospitals, and social programs. THERE'S your victim! Let's say that he smokes a joint everyday and he's in a farking stupor and can't get motivated to get a better job, go back to school, or to volunteer to help someone in his community. HE'S YOUR VICTIM. Finally, he smokes a joint and drinks a 40 Oz and falls asleep, catching the chair he's in on fire. This winds up killing him. Who's the victim then? And don't laugh nit wit... Read this..... http://www.indeonline.com/news/20180620/man-cooking-dinner-smokes-pot-falls-asleep-as-stove-burns

Earlier this year a young man in his 20’s named Daniel Di Martino tried to warn us, in a USA Today editorial. He was born and raised in Venezuela. He lived his entire life under Socialism. But he was blessed to escape to America.
He explained how it happened in Venezuela — with all the same socialist ideas and fantasies being preached by Democrats today. Free everything. Guaranteed jobs for everyone. Welfare galore. Minimum wage hikes. Massive new taxes and regulations. Government takeover of entire industries- like healthcare. Price controls. Massive money printing.
These were the downfall of Venezuela.
Today, there are no jobs in Venezuela. People live in misery. Rationed electricity. Nonstop blackouts. No running water for days on end. Shortages of diapers and toilet paper. Empty shelves at supermarkets. Four-hour lines to buy toothpaste or flour. Rampant inflation, with prices doubling every two weeks.
Di Martino’s parents earned thousands of dollars per month as professionals in 1999. By 2016, they earned less than $2 per day.
Do you understand the socialist regime in Venezuela nationalized electricity and water to make it “free.” Now no one has any.
This is where socialism leads. I haven’t mentioned the banning of free speech, jailing, and torturing of opposition politicians and protestors.
Just like Venezuela, it won’t happen overnight. But a long, tragic nightmare could begin around this time, next year.
Keep that in mind as you celebrate Trump’s booming, roaring, rockin' economy on New Year's Eve 2020.

@TheOtakuPrince So whaaat? We'll let them make thread! Look... We're there for ONE THING, and one thing only. That's CHEAP LABOR. When the tariffs go on, that changes. Then they move from China. Trump is giving them time RIGHT NOW to find new supply chains. Countries are standing in line to service a 350+ million people market. And one with SPENDING POWER, unlike India, Russia, and other third world shitholes. The Vietnamese, Cambodians, Africans, Burmese, Thai, and countless others are waiting for that American business. Bye bye China. So solly!

Masoom Alam Yes... It would be an act of mercy.. Just like in Japan.. almost certainly saved lives. This is undoubtedly true if one accepts the arguments of U.S. leaders at the time; namely, that not using the atomic bomb would have forced the U.S. to launch a full invasion of Japan’s home islands, and this would have killed far more people than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It’s impossible to know how many people would have perished if allied forces invaded Japan. However, given the stiff resistance U.S. and allied forces faced during the island-hopping campaign of the Pacific War, it would have been many, many times greater than the 200,000+ people that died from the atomic bombings.
In fact, the casualties from the U.S. strategic conventional bombing campaign greatly eclipsed the number of individuals who died from the atomic bombings. The March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo alone killed some 120,000 Japanese. A ground invasion would have resulted in nearly immeasurable more casualties. As one scholar who studied the U.S. invasion plan, Operation Downfall, notes: “depending on the degree to which Japanese civilians resisted the invasion, estimates ran into the millions for Allied casualties and tens of millions for Japanese casualties.”

On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

Sound familiar??... When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

If you want to observe a branch of meteorology where there is virtual consensus regarding global warming, look no farther than to those who actually study and forecast hurricanes. This community of scientists knows Gore is prancing about au naturel.
Re-enter Dr. William Gray, unquestionably the world’s foremost hurricane forecaster. He founded the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University in the 1960s, where he developed the fine art of forecasting hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous times Dr. Gray has told my radio audience, “I am of the opinion that global warming is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpe- trated on the American people.”
Gray’s opinion is not based on a gut feeling—it’s based on the science. And he is not alone.
“All my colleagues that have been around a long time—I think if you go to ask the last four or five directors of the National Hurricane Center—we all don’t think this is human-induced global warming,” says Dr. Gray.
Indeed, another pioneer in hurricane research, and a 13-year director of the National Hurricane Center, Dr. Neil Frank, told the Washington Post, “It’s a hoax.”189
When asked if he thought increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could actually be a good thing he replied, “Exactly! Maybe we’re living in a carbon dioxide-starved world. We don’t know…”
Consider some noteworthy hurricanes, none of which occurred in particularly hot years:
Deadliest Hurricane: More than 8,000 people perished September 8, 1900, when a Category 4 hurricane barreled into Galveston, Texas. The storm surges exceeded 15 feet, and winds howled at 130 mph, destroying more than half of the city’s homes.
Most Intense Hurricane: An unnamed storm slammed into the Florida Keys during Labor Day, 1935. Researchers estimated sustained winds reached 150–200 mph with higher gusts. The storm killed an estimated 408 people.
Greatest Storm Surge: In 1969, Hurricane Camille produced a 25-foot storm surge in Mississippi. Camille, a Category 5 storm, was the strongest storm of any kind to ever strike mainland America. When the eye hit Mississippi, winds gusted up to 200 mph. The hurricane caused the deaths of 143 people along the coast from Alabama into Louisiana and led to another 113 deaths as the weakening storm moved inland.
Earliest and Latest hurricanes: The hurricane season is defined as June 1 through November 30. The earliest observed hurricane in the Atlantic was on March 7, 1908, while the latest observed hurricane was on December 31, 1954. The earliest hurricane to strike the United States was Alma, which struck northwest Florida on June 9, 1966. The latest hurricane to strike the United States was on November 30, 1925, near Tampa, Florida.
Hurricanes, one of the favorite proofs that advocates of anthropogenic global warming use to validate their claims, have become earth’s biggest bogeyman.
Reporters can call names, senators can make unfounded pronouncements, the Terminator can pump his biceps, and the U.N. can hold conferences on impending doom, but the only consensus regarding the connection of hurricanes and global warming is that there is no connection between the two.
However, like slick slip-and-fall lawyers, the Marxist elites pushing their social engineering agenda are not about to let a few facts thwart their plans. There’s too much wealth at stake that needs to be spread around.

The crisis is real. Pretending it doesn’t exist is an insult to those who face its consequences every day. “January saw a surprising surge of 22,000 more apprehensions of illegal immigrants at southwest border crossings over January 2018, prompting a key predictor to suggest that border officers will make over 600,000 apprehensions this year,” Paul Bedard reports for the Washington Examiner.
Politicians and the media should listen to our experts in law enforcement. The lack of physical infrastructure at our southern border is continuously being exploited for illegal purposes, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials explain. To their point, take a look at a string of recent arrests along our border:
103 illegal aliens from Central America detained Monday morning
Two sex offenders arrested in separate weekend incidents
Multiple criminal aliens arrested over the holiday weekend, including some with warrants and convictions for sexual assault, kidnapping, and murder
A convicted rapist caught in El Centro, California
A previously deported MS-13 gang member recently apprehended
Nearly $1 million of drugs seized in the Rio Grande Valley

The South China Sea Is Really a Fishery Dispute
The hidden cause of the South China Sea disputes: there aren’t enough fish in the sea.
By Adam Greer
July 20, 2016

Last week the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled overwhelmingly in favor of the Philippines in its case against China’s South China Sea (SCS) claims. The nearly 500 page ruling undercut Beijing’s claims to control all the land features and water inside China’s nine-dash line and concluded that the disputed land features are either rocks that generate small (12 nautical miles) territorial seas or low-tide elevations that convey no exclusive rights to exploit resources. Although the ruling—and much of the surrounding analysis—has necessarily placed considerable emphasis on sovereignty disputes in the SCS, less attention has been given to the underlying incentives that drive claimant positions and behaviors.
Given its power and recent assertiveness in the South China Sea, China’s interests deserve special attention. Aside from enlarging China’s security perimeter, China’s regional interests can be roughly lumped into three “P”s—politics, petroleum, and proteins (fish). The last of these interests, competition over dwindling SCS fisheries, may be most consequential in driving competition, but has not received sufficient analytic attention. DOES YOUR BROWSER ACCEPT THIS...... https://www.ft.com/content/fead89da-1a4e-11e9-9e64-d150b3105d21 OR THIS.... The KMT inquired among Taiwan’s voters, “Do you approve of applying to return to the United Nations and to join other international organizations under the name ‘Republic of China,’ or ‘Taiwan,’ or other name that is conducive to success and preserves our nation’s dignity?”[9] Both referenda failed to pass.

BIGGEST LIE EVER!! THIS VIDEO IS NONSENSE.... the IRS releases aggregate data on individual income taxes, with a two-year delay. The Tax Foundation helpfully organizes the reports, and in January they released their summary of the data for 2015. We will look at estimates for this year in just a bit.
In 2015, 141.2 million taxpayers reported a total of $10.14 trillion in adjusted gross income (AGI). On this amount, they paid $1.45 trillion in taxes, or 14.3%. That’s our collective average tax rate, in other words. But we know averages can be deceiving, and this one certainly is. Most people paid well below that rate, and a small number paid a great deal more.
We’ll start at the bottom. The lower half of those 141.2 million tax filers had total AGI of $1.145 trillion, or about 11.3% of all income. On this, they paid $41.1 billion in taxes. Their average tax rate was 3.5%, and they paid 2.8% of all taxes.
Note, that’s the lower half of taxpayers – meaning they filed tax returns. There’s a large group below them who didn’t have to file because they had no taxable income. So well over half the population either paid no income tax at all or paid a very low percentage rate.
Jealous? You shouldn’t be. Do the math and you’ll see the average AGI for this bottom half of taxpayers was only $16,211. These are not wealthy people. Literally, housing and food and other basics are critical issues for them. Most were employed in some way for at least part of 2015, since they have income, but they didn’t make much. The system is designed to give them a break on taxes, and it worked.
At the same time, this income inequality has a frustrating consequence: the other half of taxpayers bear almost the entire burden. Note that the top 10% pay 70% of income taxes. The top 50% pay 97%.

@TopG_KnightofOne Well, let's discuss your allegations. First.. Slavery has existed for thousands of years, and the Arabs were and still are the greatest slave traders of all time, but they don't exhibit the "white guilt" that black people depend on for a hand out, with their chronic moaning and complaining. Second.. Since the Bible itself mentioned slaves, and the Constitution pegged their value as 2/3 of a white man, that would lead you to believe that the freed slaves would have left for the motherland, as fast as possible, however a whopping TWO HUNDRED years, finds them still here, still complaining, still moaning, while Jews, the Irish, and the Vietnamese who also have a legitimate gripe, have put that behind and became doctors, lawyers, and business owners. It's not color it's CULTURE. Not the skin color of the black man which is detested by so many, but rather their culture. A successful black man knows this because even he refuses to live with other African Americans. You can legislate an open door, but you can never legislate respect and a welcome. Racism is GOOD. Now.. it's time for some black education..

CARACAS, Venezuela — The agents barged into the home of Yonaiker Ordóñez, 18, on Sunday morning as he slept. Dressed in helmets and carrying rifles, the men grabbed the teenager and forced him to another room without explaining why they came, his family said.
“They took him to the area behind and killed him there,” said his sister, Yengly González.
The operation resembled one of the many police raids against the gangs that terrorize Venezuela’s poor neighborhoods. But Mr. Ordóñez’s only crime, his family said, was that he attended a protest against the government days before.
President Nicolás Maduro is facing the biggest challenge to his authoritarian rule yet. Protesters are in the streets, an opposition lawmaker has declared himself the rightful president, a growing number of foreign governments have backed that claim and the Trump administration has intensified the pressure, cutting off Mr. Maduro’s access to oil sales in the United States — a principal source of his government’s cash.
In the face of the crisis, Mr. Maduro has hit back hard, sending out security forces to crush dissent in deadly operations that have alarmed even some of the president’s traditional supporters.

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

@Dedhedted71 No wages are NOT low. They are right where they need to be. Skills and education are what determines wages, not speeches and rallies. JUST TODAY jobs report out.. GOING THROUGH THE ROOF!! You don't start at a job with high wages. You start at the bottom, then with your work ability, knowledge, and skill, your wages rise accordingly. The reason young people think that they aren't paid enough is because they are stupid with the money they get, and Democrats put in place rules and regulations that lead to higher food and housing costs. In other words.. California HIGH TAX, HIGH COST OF LIVING, while blue states have lower costs. That's why you see an outflow of people FROM California. Of course they're being replaced with no skill, no talent, no English, ILLEGAL immigrants that liberals use to slave for them at low wages!! Then moan about wealth inequality.

@tinsolider3 That's right, and don't you forget it.
seven protesters who were arrested during demonstrations over a fatal police shooting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, were held on $1 million bail Tuesday.
Lancaster police arrested 12 adults and a juvenile overnight Sunday when a crowd of more than 100 people gathered outside the police station to protest the shooting that day of Ricardo Munoz, who prosecutors say had run at an officer with a knife.
Police used pepper spray and chemical agents against demonstrators that night.
“Suspects piled street signs, trash cans, a metal dumpster, a metal bike rack, pieces of plywood and a wooden pallet at the intersection of N. Prince St. and W. Chestnut St,” police said in a statement. “The suspects filled the dumpster with additional trash bags, as well as the wood, and set the contents on fire.”
The adults face numerous charges, including conspiracy to commit arson, riot, failure to disperse, institutional vandalism and disorderly conduct. {snip}
Seven of the adults were held on $1 million bond set by Magisterial District Judge Bruce Roth, and four others were still awaiting their arraignments. One of the adults was on probation at the time of his arrest.
The juvenile, an unidentified 16-year-old, faces charges in juvenile court of riot, disorderly conduct, possessing instruments of crime, propulsion of missiles onto a roadway and institutional vandalism.

@zvxcvxcz 1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.

YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS OUT... Remember China tried to stick it in our butt, by not taking our waste products? Well, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.... China faces a shortfall of millions of tonnes of raw materials after placing restrictions on foreign waste imports at the start of this year.
But rather than drown in rubbish rejected by China’s port authorities, neighbouring countries in the region – such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia – could in fact be benefiting from the increased availability of cheap recyclable materials.
At first glance, China’s decision to restrict imports of 26 types of foreign plastic and paper seemed like a boon for the environment, when announced at a World Trade Forum in July 2016.
Finally, Western countries would be forced to stop “dumping” on China, said the press, and take responsibility for their own rubbish. Optimists predicted an overhaul of waste disposal systems. In the United States and Europe companies promised to “design” waste out of their supply chains.
But in reality the big waste exporters were ill-equipped to respond to the change. Rubbish containers were rerouted to poorer neighbouring countries that lack the infrastructure to process it, while Chinese manufacturers have relocated. So, eight months after the restrictions came into force what has been the effect?
Adam Minter is an American journalist and author of Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade. He was based in China for over a decade, reporting on recycling for Bloomberg, before moving to Malaysia. He argues that China has not been turning away useless junk but instead valuable scrap, which supplies the recycling and manufacturing sectors that underpin the country’s economy.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

@Jay496 Get the facts and stop being a dope!!
In 1929, the League of the United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a Mexican-American organization, formed in Corpus Christi, TX. One of their main organizing efforts was to get "Mexican" off the 1930 census. They protested: we are white race, we are Americans.
The Mexican government itself protested the category, because the entire Southwest used to be part of Mexico, and when it was taken over by the United States, they promised Mexico that the Mexican residents there would be treated as full citizens. Well, at the time, you had to be white to be a citizen. So that's where the whole issue came about of Mexicans, specifically, identifying as legally white but socially not-white.
It worked against them in some ways, because they claimed segregation and discrimination, the parties being accused of discrimination could say, Well, no, you're white. So this history of claiming whiteness has been a strategy that Mexican Americans and other Latino groups have used to try to lobby for acceptance — claiming Americanness, claiming whiteness.
LULAC and the Mexican government successfully had "Mexican" removed from [the census questionnaire]. After 1930, there has never been another Latino group listed as a race on it. In 1970, the Hispanic origin question was first introduced on the Census long form, which is an extended questionnaire that goes out to about one in six households. And then, finally in 1980, the Hispanic identity question appears on all of the forms. It used to come after the race question. They later moved it before the race question because it was one of the most unanswered forms on the census. If you asked people their race, "I'm white or I'm black," and they would get this next question, "are you Hispanic?" They would say "I already answered this," and they would skip it. So that's why we have them the way they are and the way they're ordered.

@kolob4697 Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.

Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.
But the federal government inflates the supply of new labor by annually accepting 1 million new legal immigrants, by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estateprices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-techinvestment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and collegeeducation, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
The cheap-labor policy has also reduced investment and job creation in many interior states because the coastal cities have a surplus of imported labor. For example, almost 27 percent of zip codes in Missouri had fewer jobs or businesses in 2015 than in 2000, according to a new report by the Economic Innovation Group. In Kansas, almost 29 percent of zip codes had fewer jobs and businesses in 2015 compared to 2000, which was a two-decade period of massive cheap-labor immigration.
Because of the successful cheap-labor strategy, wages for men have remained flat since 1973, and a large percentage of the nation’s annual income has shifted to investors and away from employees

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

@BrendanBeckett What? Bolshevik Bernie is a fraud and a con artist. ANYONE that knows this guy, his positions, his past, his plans, knows he's a nut case. Listen, when Hillary Clinton who never said ONE bad word about any democrat says that Bernie is a do nothing, that nobody wants to work with, when he's WHOAAAH the amendment king, because he never wrote any REAL legislation himself, when the Democrat Party has knives ready for him at the convention, when MAJOR constituencies are dead set against you ( Hispanics, NRA, Christians etc) then you know it's no joke. The joke is on the idiots that sent this fraud money! Facts don't lie... https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/bernie-sanders-democratic-socialist-or-out-and-out-stalinistist/

@only1qu386 Well, I'm all eyes!! If you have information to correct me, then let's have it. Explain to me why an all black college like Howard University is NOT racist, while the mere suggestion of an all white one is. Let me know why a black mother insisting on beautiful black grandchildren is just wonderful, but if a white woman insists that her daughter only marry a white man, then it's racist. Why do we have black magazines by and for blacks, but don't dare mention one for whites? Why a few whites beating a black man is a race crime, but a few black beating a white man is ignored. Aren't these things racist?
Yes, Appalachia has the most poorest people in the USA. STILL better than two thirds of the world, and especially of rural China, or Africa.
2

@only1qu386 Not one thing you say is true. 1) No, there are very very few blacks that live in Appalachia. Look it up! 2) How else does ANYONE see anything from other than their own perspective? Do you see a Uighurs's perspective, or a Tibetan?
3) Black hair care products have been sold since the 1920's and were available before that from individuals in the black community. However, are American newspapers available in China? Do the Chinese have easy access to American products? 4) A crime must be determined by LAW, and the law must apply equally to ALL. What is applicable to one person must hold true for everyone. Do the Chinese see it that way, or does the interests of the Communist party always come first? 5) In the USA there is tremendous availability of seeing doctors or Healthcare professionals of your own race. Even Jehovah Witness, that refuse blood transfusions can have a surgeon that respects their wishes available to them. Do you have choice in a state run system? I can tell you with first hand knowledge that white people are attacked, robbed, beaten, raped and brutalized EVERY DAY and it is ignored by the media, so as "not to stir racial tensions" However, a black man beaten becomes a major lead story that can bring in multiple law enforcement agencies to investigate. Anyone of any race, color, or religion is free to move to a more welcoming area. But doesn't China, issue permits for rural people to move to the city? Keeping them from moving to a better work opportunity? Finally, yes let's reverse my accusations and ask WHAT DOES FACE a white man in an all black society. Let's examine what Christians suffer in Muslim countries. How about the Falun Gong? How are THEY treated by the Communists? Where is your concern over these people? Christian churches in China are staffed with Communist party observers, and the clergy are hand picked in order to insure party affiliation. A fraud, and a facade in order to feign freedom of religion. How are whites being treated by blacks in Zimbabwe?

@Worldly40 Who said anything about their economies? The Soviet Union didn't dissolve because of their finances! They did then and still now, hold the largest gold reserves. It was politics. The system wasn't working. The brains were leaving, the citizens were beginning to be uncooperative. The same as you see right now in China. Once mass unemployment begins, which will be soon, the peasent farmers and students will storm the government, and trials will begin, just like under Mao. They've lost vast amounts of crop land, and unlike the USA, there's no money on its way to the farmers. They better pray that the three gorges dam doesn't break, or they'll be gone (along with their military) much sooner. India just smacked them along their border, and a video of their soldiers crying went viral, humiliating the CCP not only to its people, but the whole world! Their might army in tears..... from INDIA??

@danzel1157 Wow, what a gigantic load of nonsense! Look, let me explain this in EASY terms that even you can understand. 1) the method the data gathered is disputed and varies by who and how its collected. 2) that "data" is used in projections and models that have been WILDLY innacurate and continue to be. 3) The 97% are not Climatologists (professor Judith curry is, and they destroyed her career, over her disagreement with the eco fascists) 4) The purported 97% were asked a simple question about climate change, not if it was a crisis or emergency. 5) A list which is NEVER mentioned, places climate change around 24 as our most pressing problems. These too are "scientists". 6) Those of us that believe that it's an issue, but not a crisis, do NOT want to see massive, ineffectual changes made to our country, and lifestyle made in order to effect a political agenda. We note that the Chinese are STILL building (drum roll please) ONE coal plant per week, while ALSO trying to control the solar market. 7) Now, that's the best I can put it to you. Don't argue with me, but rather millions that feel the same way, and intend to elect Trump again, to carry out our vision. If you want to maintain that the climate is a reason to vote in Bolshevik Bernie, and destroy our economy, then go ahead. I just pray that YOU will be affected by this climate catastrophe nonsense, and suffer for your decision. I am 100% ready to be affected by the "climate emergency".. "the end of life as we know it".. "the end of our species".. "a dying planet" and other outrageous predictions, in making my choice. READ the comment below by Jim Trainor. Tell me about your climate consensus, and scientific pursuit of the truth!!

@danzel1157 Nooo. Think about all the illuminati, Rothschild, Big brother, fake moon landing, flat earth, and hundreds of other low IQ, low intelligence, misfits out there (most of them Bolshevik Bernie devotees) that she doesn't NEED any conspiracy people to give her credibility. She just has the CREDENTIALS and the QUALIFICATIONS, to make a truthful and accurate appraisal of the climate debate. Her assessment was that it is a giant, heaping, horse load of putrid shit! And I and millions of others (mostly Trump supporters) agree with her! There! Wasn't that simple? Even a buffoon like you can understand that!

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

Kevin Counihan No, you have it completely backwards. When AT&T enjoyed their monopoly, they had one phone to choose from. A black one. You paid an exorbitant amount of money for a long distant call, and the non-digital quality was poor at best. You had to buy a seperate box to record your calls, when not home, and for years there was no features that we take for granted now, like call forwarding, conference calls, call identifiers, and speed dial. It was only through the opening of competition that, the world of smart phones opened up, and gave us our features that we have now. If AT&T had their way, we'd still be using landlines. Here.. Educate yourself.... https://www.technologizer.com/2011/03/20/att-buys-t-mobile/

@qwertyuiop-jf1lm sigh Yeah, lots of people WANT lots of things, but there's millions of us that simply want bloodsuckers like Bernie supporters to pay for themselves. With your limited intellectual understanding of the real world, you continue to dream of a glorious socialist world where a millstone is placed on the neck of the haves that offers a free a free ride to those that have not. This is the land of OPPORTUNITY, got that? Not the land of success, handouts, free loading, and vote buying through government forced redistribution of anothers wealth. If you can't be healthy, wealthy, and wise here in the USA, then GO TO WHERE YOU CAN. We are building walls to keep people OUT, and they're coming here for JOBS (Trump) not HANDOUTS (Bernie) Now keep splitting hairs with "names" Bernie is endlessly rebranding himself. He's the original snake oil salesman. You are the same same naive stooge. Send him some more money. Those three homes are getting expensive to maintain on a government salary.

@qwertyuiop-jf1lm So many silly statements. No Healthcare is NOT a human right. If you believe that, then go to the Amazon and start there! THEY don't have band-aids! What's next on your list of rights? Let's see.. we tried public housing. FAIL, public schools, FAIL, public water systems FAIL, Integration FAIL. Public transit, FAIL, Amtrack, FAIL. Everything you have touches has been a calamity full of waste, fraud, and abuse. WE WANT SPACE X, you want NASA. We want PRIVATE schools (where politicians send their children) You want bombed out, run down, poorly staffed, PUBLIC schools. WE want cell phone service, where competition drives prices down. YOU want government paid everything where quality goes down and prices go UP. There's NOTHING that the government touches that is run in an excellent manner. BUT NOW, you want their hands involved in Healthcare! Hasn't the government screwed enough things up already?
Emergency surgery (government) Costs through the roof, no competition. Elective surgery. (private payer) Costs falling dramatically with increased competition. You want to PAY for the lowly slugs? That's fine. But, don't wreck the care we have already. YOU want the VA HOSPITAL (disaster) for everyone, while WE want Cedar Sinai for those that are willing to pay. YOU want a Hugo car for everyone, while WE want a choice of cars for those that CHOOSE to pay for what THEY want, not what Bernie decides is a "RIGHT".

SOOOO. many dumb statements. You wear my keyboard out. PART TWO............ Trump has a record of the HIGHEST EMPLOYMENT, HIGHEST WAGES, HIGHEST STOCK MARKET, FALLING CRIME, and that's for BLACKS, LATINOS, and WOMEN. He lowered the tax rates for WHO???
Look this up.. The top one percent PAY FORTY PERCENT OF all income tax collected. The top ten percent PAY SEVENTY PERCENT. The bottom pay ZERO TAX.. Say that again. MILLIONS of slugs pay NO INCOME TAX. Corporate rates were lowered to put us EVEN with other countries. The rich are leaving CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK because of high taxes, and going WHERE?? TEXAS!!! A Republican run state with low taxes!! Trumps "rich buddies" were on a hiring spree, spending spree, building spree, while Bernie slugs were pulling down statues!! You keep soaking the rich and what happens?? THEY LEAVE! And they take jobs with them.

@nathansauce5844 So what's your point? I said they come here for THE BEST. Let's have free dental too, right? How about free housing? Food stamps? free education? Maybe you can get us free transportation next. I can use a new pair of high heels, isn't clothing a "human right"? If you're poor, you get medicaid.. If you're old you get Medicare, if you work, you get Healthcare coverage. If you're a lowlife, low skill, low educated, Bernie supporter, you get on the payment plan for your X-ray. The REST HAS BEEN A CATASTROPHE. Public housing, education, Medicare, and every other thing government touches.

Food is a small cost for the average consumer, being only around 15% of average income. With the rich that is far, far less. They don't care if food costs triple, nor energy prices. Only the poor are affected by increase food costs. Gates has no intention in farming hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland. That idea is preposterous, nor would if you did the same, be able to do the immense work required to produce a sizeable yield. Who imports food in large quantities? Not the USA, but China and India. THEY need vast amounts of food and energy. If farming for food was the goal, China would have bought our farmland years ago. No, the reason he's buying is not to farm... but to store his wealth. Dollars indeed are being devalued, and his exchanging of them for land.. productive land is (drum roll please) something that he learned from WARREN BUFFET. That's a common theme of his investment philosophy. I might add that Con agra, and other mega grain producers also would have bought up farming land at these low lending rates, if food was the issue. Besides he owns LOTS of other NON agricultural land as well.

Bernie is a fraud... Successive French administrations of both the left and right have been trying to reform this and other aspects of the country’s statist economy for decades, with limited results. Social benefits, once given, are hard to pare, much less withdraw. Hence the frequent strikes: Since 1789, French governments have been acutely sensitive to mass protests, and too often have capitulated to them.
Hence also France’s perennial economic crisis.
The country’s unemployment rate has not fallen below 7 percent since 1983 and is now at 8.6 percent. Long-term unemployment exceeds 40 percent, compared with 13.3 percent in the US. The country’s annual growth rate has barely exceeded an average of 1 percent per year since the 21st century began. It’s expected to come in at 1.3 percent for this year.
As of last year, the median monthly take-home pay was just $1,930, meaning half of all French workers make even less. It’s why the country erupted in protest when Macron proposed raising fuel taxes a few cents per liter.
How much of this is a matter of the French making different, arguably better, choices when it comes to balancing work and leisure? Surely some. And how much of it is made up for by quality public services, strong worker protections, and fewer economic inequalities? Some, too.
Then again, the health service that used to be the toast of Francophiles is overwhelmed, understaffed, and “on the brink of collapse,” according to a report in The Guardian. French universities, while cheap, are overcrowded, underfunded, and notoriously mediocre: “Too easy to get in and too easy to get out,” as one local observer put it. French workers exercise their right to strike roughly seven times more frequently than German workers do, and 125 times more than Swiss ones.
As for income inequality, France is certainly much less unequal than the US. But France’s top 1 percent still held 22 percent of the country’s wealth at the beginning of 2018. That was despite a draconian effort by the previous Socialist government to impose a super-tax on high earners. It raised scant revenue while accelerating the exodus of the rich. Like many European attempts at imposing a wealth tax, it was quickly repealed.
All of this should stand as a stark warning to Democrats. France has the highest overall tax take among OECD countries (46.9 percent of GDP), the highest rate of government spending, (56.38 percent of GDP), the highest rate of safety-net spending, and the third-highest rate of pension spending.
Whatever else all this taxing and spending might be doing, it’s clearly not creating jobs or prosperity.

@dianem.estrada2290 Diane. Stop with your judging of people. You are not to set yourself up as the judge over anyone. Why? Because isn't it said that.... AS YOU JUDGE.. SO SHALL YOU BE JUDGED?
Didn't Jesus himself when asked why he allowed the money for the poor, to be spent on oil for his feet, say.. The poor will ALWAYS be with us?
This is ALL you need to know... nothing else...... 25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

@r.mcbride2837 OK. why waste time. That was ONE... HERE'S PART ONE.
Unprecedented Economic Boom
Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy.
America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.
The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.
More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record. Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades. We delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for citizens of all backgrounds.
Unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma all reached record lows.
Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years.
Lifted nearly 7 million people off of food stamps. Poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans reached record lows. Income inequality fell for two straight years, and by the largest amount in over a decade. The bottom 50 percent of American households saw a 40 percent increase in net worth. Wages rose fastest for low-income and blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase. African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent. Brought jobs, factories, and industries back to the USA.
Created more than 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs. Put in place policies to bring back supply chains from overseas. Small business optimism broke a 35-year old record in 2018. Hit record stock market numbers and record 401ks.
The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020.
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have repeatedly notched record highs. Rebuilding and investing in rural America.
Signed an Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products, which is bringing innovative new technologies to market in American farming and agriculture. Strengthened America’s rural economy by investing over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America. Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns.
An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior. During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded.
Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost. Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery. Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020.
Under the previous administration, it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration.
Since April, the Hispanic unemployment rate has fallen by 9.6 percent, Asian-American unemployment by 8.6 percent, and Black American unemployment by 6.8 percent.

Passed $3.2 trillion in historic tax relief and reformed the tax code.
Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history. More than 6 million American workers received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to the tax cuts. A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half. Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free. Doubled the child tax credit. Virtually eliminated the unfair Estate Tax, or Death Tax.
Cut the business tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the developed world – all the way down to 21 percent. Small businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income.
Businesses can now deduct 100 percent of the cost of their capital investments in the year the investment is made. Since the passage of tax cuts, the share of total wealth held by the bottom half of households has increased, while the share held by the top 1 percent has decreased. Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States.
Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas. Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness. Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones.
Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero.
Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home.
Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs.
Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments.
Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.

Ace Diamonds That's right. I DO think that unskilled labor is useless. China has billions of them. India too! One tractor can do the work of 20 men. It's not the "system" that's the problem. It's creeping socialism. It's Marxism and leftist and progressive ideas that seduce a poorly educated generation of puppets. In MY OPINION, and only AS I SEE IT.. 1) powerful forces are attempting to steer nations towards a one world government. MANY factions, from the rich, to pacifists, to Communists, want to see this take place. 2) With the fall of the Soviet Union, the next target is the USA. Again, many factions are being used to push this "one world" "save the planet" "think global, act local" plot onto the American people. 3) Trump came along and threw a monkey wrench into all of this. For once, the American public refused to allow the elites, and the media, to choose their winner. 4) A subterfuge of enormous proportions is underway to destroy and undermine our government and its economy, benefitting some, and inflicting misery on the majority. Environmentalists, college students, unions, and the poor are being manipulated to steer the country towards a wrecking of our country, in order to seize power. Trump and his booming economy are taking a back seat towards nonsense issues. FREE Healthcare and FREE college, being just two issues being amplified. There are MANY, MANY more serious and pressing issues which should be in the spotlight. But they don't move the agenda forward. 5) finally, the government knows that a flood of cheap labor will boost growth, help continue the ponzi scheme, extend social security, and in the case of democrats, add to their dwindling voter rolls. That's it! My work is finished here.

hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.
A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.
A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.
A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.
While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.
From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.

@keane6 Did you READ the article? If a person worships Christ does that make him a Christian? If you espouse and support the ideas of Marx, does that make you a Marxist?
Now Bernie can't CALL himself what Republicans, Democrats, and UNIONS know that he is. He HAS to rebrand and relabel himself in order to sell his snake oil. Think about it. LOOK closely at his past actions in support of Communists. Look CLOSELY at his statements for government take over of Corporations, Banking, and Industrial production. Do you have ANY IDEA why the Constitution gives the ordinary man the GUARANTEED RIGHT to own a gun?? WHY? WHY WAS THAT SO IMPORTANT? But not Healthcare, maternal leave, food stamps, welfare, free education, and all the other FREE stuff that Bernie uses to buy your vote??

@Homegirl54 I wonder if democrats care about THESE??..... On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

@cottonhairedaesthetic2005 Hater? Oh nooooo.... We love, love, love all the African Americans here. You know, people of color come from all over the world and excel at business and academia here in the United States. It's just one "particular" people of color that can't quite seem to adjust to a modern, high tech, high skills economy, and must continually moan and complain, and walk through life with a chip on their shoulder for some 200 year old grievance, along the lines of the Hatfield and McCoy's. THEY are the ones that I wish a bright future BACK in their motherland. It's not hate for the ones that you show the door out, after the party is over, but rather love for those you hold dear on the inside. It's just getting them to leave that's the tricky part.

Philip Berthiaume WHOAH.. One last thing of interest... Two really.. First It may be that Trump in his own "art of the deal" way is causing ulcers overseas and will get them to give in, even a little, and he'll crow that he went to bat for our steel and aluminum workers and WON. Time will tell how it works.. And second. I heard a talking head say something very clever.. It was in answering the following claim... The person insisted that Trumps economy was merely a continuation of Trumps job gains.. Now, the answer was this.... He said that had Trump came in and KEPT those policies, regulations, N. Korea approach, and people put in place by Obama, THEN you might have a point, but he abandoned ALL THAT for his own judgements. The tax cut, the deregulation, the personnel changes, all his. Therefore the 3%+ growth is his and not Obama's. I think this tariff business will prove to be the same. OK... That winds it up! Take care.

Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.

After fifty years of buying, renting, and selling real estate, here's my take on curb appeal. First, it begins and ends with the woman not the man. Please her and you're 70% of the way there. Next, it's "neighborhood" that is very important. She's bring her mom, sister, girlfriend there and it's gotta be pleasing to them. Next, the first impression is not as important as you'd think since both him and her start to devise work arounds ( we'll cut the bushes, paint the front, tear out that tree, etc) but here's what really sells or rents a place... The kitchen needs to speak "clean" as well as the bathroom "clean and sanitary". The rest is small potatoes. A mansion in a bad neighborhood is in trouble. But a lousy house in a nice area can be sold/rented.

@winliestephanielangi9391 Isn't it interesting that the TRUE feminine role models, like hard working moms, scientists, researchers, doctors, CEO's, and others, get overlooked by our mainstream media, and instead they glorify the party girl, hustler, and two bit entertainment hussie? How many young girls know THESE HEROINES?? ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Women_medical_researchers

Dan Simmons Great comment Dan. You're right, these new generation come from the planet Internet. They view the entire world either through some burned out rocker, or a late night talk show clown. If anyone needs to see what these yo yo's really think, just ask questions. ANY question on any subject, and watch the blank stares. Politics, History, Music, Plumbing, Cooking. You name it. But, they all think they know everything. Mention Venezuela, and you'll get... Yeah, man I'd like to go there on Vacation. Just ask ANY question. Wait while they Google it.........

Islam is an information control cult!
Although in the Westerm world, Islam cannot enable their information control as they do in Muslim controlled countries, there is still significant misinformation that Muslims believe about the Bible and Christianity. As you can see from the three quotes above, Muslims are forbidden to question Islamic faith, and are expected to accept its truthfulness blindly without investigation. Muhammad understood that information was the main enemy of his newly invented religion. In many Muslim controlled nations, for example, young men are paid to learn NOTHING but the Koran to the exclusion of science and history and current world events. They are told this is all they need, but in reality they are brainwashed and basic world information is deliberately withheld from them.
Although Muslims in the Western world will claim Islam is an open religion, the fact remains that they contradict the actions of their brethren in Muslim controlled nations. In other words, actions speak louder than words! Remember, if Islam is such an open religion, why are Christians harassed and murdered in all countries where Muslims are in control of the civil governments.

Muslims claim, that a proof the Koran was from God, is that it contains scientifically accurate information about Embryology before man discovered it for himself. However, all the information in the Koran regarding Embryology is copied from three sources, 1. A Greek doctor named Galen, who lived of 150 AD. 2. A Jewish doctor named Samuel ha-Yehudi who lived 150 AD. 3. the Greek father of medicine Hippocrates who lived 400 BC. My question is: in light of the fact that all the information contained in the Koran was already in print by these three doctors, will you retract the argument on Embryology? If not, will you supply one detail revealed in the Koran about Embryology, that was not already revealed or that was new?
Muslims claim, that a proof that the Koran was from God is that it contains scientifically accurate information about Embryology, yet in 86:6-7 the Koran says, "man was created from ejected liquid- Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs". This echoes the scientific error of Hippocrates who believed semen originates, from the brain down the spinal chord, before passing through the kidneys and finally out of the body. (Hippocratic Writings, Penguin Classics, 1983, p. 317) My question is: do you reject modern science and believe the Koran when it says sperm originates from the mid-gut section of a man's body.

@latjolajban81 Make it? Have you traveled to Europe? They can't even heat and cool their tiny apartments and miniscule homes! Do you know what gasoline costs in Europe? Only starving Africans go to Europe, and that's because they couldn't dream of applying for and being granted citizenship, in the USA! Business is fleeing France, why do you think they have the yellow vest protests? The USA is the land of opportunity, man! If you don't know that, you don't know anything! Look.. Do you think that you have police and firemen, construction workers, and other blue collar workers living in 2400 Sq. ft. homes with pools in the backyard, in Germany? Making it to them is finding a drafty London flat. Where is the open land to build new homes? Sure, they have a great transportation system, it's because THEY HAVE TO! People in the USA don't want public transportation! We have teenagers that own cars!! Most homes EASILY have two or three! Do you want to take the subway or trolley car to work? I told you.. the "poor" are watching big screen TV and using 700 apple phones! That's people in public housing!! Have you been to India? How about ANY mideast country, outside the capital or major city?

While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Chinese government was busy arresting the editor of the pro-democracy Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily. That arrest came on the heels of the arrest of one of Apple Daily’s columnists for “conspiring to collude with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security.”
While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Taliban was busy spreading like a metastasizing cancer over Afghanistan, preparing its new subjects for the tender mercies of brutal Islamist rule.
While Berry was protesting the national anthem during an event at which she threw heavy objects for sport, billions of people were living in absolute privation the world over.
None of this means that the shortcomings of America should be ignored. But to protest the flag or the national anthem as particular symbols of grievance is to demonstrate full-scale your own ignorance and ingratitude.
“I’m here to represent those who died due to systemic racism,” Berry said. But she herself is an excellent indicator of just how much promise America holds for its citizens.
She grew up in the home of her grandmother, with 13 people in the house; she had a baby out of wedlock at 15 and then earned a college scholarship. She got two jobs and helped support her extended family. Now, she’s going to the Olympics. And presumably, there, she will turn her back on the flag and the national anthem if she makes it to the podium.
In doing so, she’ll become a hero to millions. She’ll get richer; she’ll get more famous. Perhaps, like pseudo-Marxist Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter, she’ll buy herself a few houses; maybe, like Kaepernick, she’ll make the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Like self-declared Marxist Cullors, who currently owns three separate houses worth over $1.5 million each, Berry is in it for the attention and the profit. Yesterday, nobody had heard of her. Today, everybody has. It’s that simple.
One thing is certain, however: Those who spend their days championing their own ingratitude at a society that gives them extraordinary opportunities—opportunities unavailable to nearly all humans for nearly all of human history, and unavailable to most people on the planet right now—aren’t likely to live happier lives. And they’re unlikely to make their nations better, either.

@TheKkpop1 Examine the facts, and stop spreading nonsense. Al Queda was using Afghanistan as a terrorist training ground, and carried out a LARGE number of planning for bombings and terrorist incidents which go back many years (in fact one was an early attempt at the trade towers) The American government, determined that Bin Laden was the key funding and planner for these incidents, and told the Taliban to hand him over. They refused, and provided him with safe haven and protection. Iraq, was a attempt to locate WMD which Saddam himself threaten to use. We only found out later that this was a bluff. But, again Saddam was given warning to allow inspectors into the country and refused. YOU say there was no WMD, yet many of our soldiers were severely sickened while searching for it. Proof of this is on-line. The Saudis are no school children, yet they are a very important part of our war on terrorism in the mideast, providing airbase, and support for our troops. They also are a MAJOR factor in providing the oil that our economy depends on. Would it be smart to stab them in the back? We know from MANY countries across the region WHO is funding the terrorists, WHO is training the terrorists, and WHERE it is taking place. Many like you want to bury their head in the sand until another pearl harbor happens HERE on our shores, and then you'll demand to know why nothing was done about it. Islamic terrorism is occurring ALL OVER THE WORLD. It must be stamped out, and the USA along with other countries are attempting to do just that.

@bobhawke7373 Yeah yeah, we know your game. You look at evidence right under your nose and insist there's no evidence. But you spend four years and millions trying to prosecute Trump only to admit.....there's no evidence! No, Bobolinski isn't evidence! No, no.. he's a right winger! Bahahahahaha. Here's a Congressman talking about teams of evidence...nah nah...there's no evidence. Ten percent for the big guy from a Communist company? Nothing to see here... Just move on. Twenty months for the media to FINALLY admit that there WAS a laptop? Oh it was just an oversight!
Look Bob, you're probably a union slug, gay, or just a leftist that is never going to be convinced that Democrats are criminals. Everyone and everything that shows them for the lying pack of thieves they are have been "debunked".
You're the perfect Democrat. The Russians had a term for guys like you, they called them useful idiots. Smear campaigns, guilt by association, missing ballots, false accusations, and the list goes on. You're not fooling anyone. The hearings start in January. Stay tuned. Here's TWO MB OF DATA DETAILING THE EVIDENCE AGAINST BIDEN..... Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC%20-%20Finance%20Joint%20Report%202020.09.23.pdf

@PoliticalSci Oh, is that right? That's a talking point that Bernie supporters ALL use, and it can't be further from the truth. All that is required is LIFE SAVING treatments, and even then, an attempt is made to bill them. Go ahead. Go to the hospital, and see what the FIRST STEP is. It's an interview to ascertain your insurance, or credit card information. And you say it's a WHAAAAT? Very small part of our spending? It's bringing California to the brink of bankruptcy! Any state that decided to go it alone, and cover their non insured hospital patients, QUICKLY dropped the idea! Now,let me clue you in. Cosmetic surgery (not covered by insurance) has fallen dramatically over the last twenty years. Meanwhile, non elective, or emergency surgery has SKYROCKETED because Uncle Sam pays the bill through Medicare! When people have to pay themselves, they shop for better prices. Think CELLPHONE PLANS. While when someone else picks up the tab, there's no incentive to reduce costs. Finally, ILLEGAL aliens can come here to have babies, which makes them eligible for citizenship!! You'll have a FLOOD of immigrants from poor countries, with millions of unskilled, uneducated labor that will DESTROY job opportunities for African Americans and our entry level high school grads. If "we already pay" then why take away people's private plans? If according to Bolshevik Bernie, there's no difference, then why change?

@joejones9729 I agree. That's why we're going to win the house back in 2022 and until then, do everything we can both politically and personally to make your life a living hell. Remember... you said it, not us. We're the party of the rich, the business, the "elite"... right? So, in every respect WE will be the ones watching you in the unemployment line. YOU will suffer from higher energy prices, more illegals, and more criminals. Orange man is just a figure head, a spokesman, a rallying cry for people that are willing to right the ship, or else watch it sink. When it does sink, you and people that think like you won't be in our life raft.

What would happen if the minimum wage laws were repealed? Would businesses pay their employees a penny an hour?
If raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would be good for the economy, wouldn't raising it to $20 be better? If not, at what point are the good economic effects of a minimum wage outweighed by the bad?
Answer:
If minimum wage laws were repealed, the vast majority of U.S. workers would not have their wages impacted. Through supply and demand, competitive market forces drive up the wage rates of most workers to levels considerably above the current federal minimum rate of $7.25 an hour (or the somewhat higher minimums imposed by many states). Given their options, most workers are not willing to supply their labor for $7.25 an hour, let alone for a penny an hour. Still, some nonworkers would be happy to work for some amount between a penny and $7.25 an hour if given the opportunity. The question is whether such opportunities should be restricted by law.
While there is room for reasonable debate, historically most economists (regardless of political persuasion) believe that well-intended minimum wage laws tend to be counterproductive to improving the wellbeing of low-wage workers – especially compared with alternative policies like expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit. If a firm perceives that certain employees are not productive enough to warrant the higher mandated wage, these employees may find themselves out of a job – or not hired in the first place.
From the public’s perspective, minimum wage laws are usually seen as a vehicle for redistributing some of a company’s profits back to its workers at the low end of the wage distribution. In this context, the question is whether society is better served when an extra dollar of profit goes to a company’s executives (or shareholders) or instead is redirected to its low-wage workers. Given how difficult it is to live on $7.25 an hour – and how easy it is to live on an executive’s pay – it might seem only right to insist that employers pay at least a “living wage” (or “fair wage”) such that hard-working employees can make ends meet.
But this perspective implicitly assumes that the minimum wage job will still be available (and at the same number of hours), after the minimum wage is increased – businesses will absorb at least most of the costs in the form of lower profits. From a practical perspective, however, the difficulty is that minimum wage mandates are not coupled with mandates on how many workers will be hired in prosperous times or let go during downturns. Raising the price of low-skill labor tends to make firms less interested in hiring low-skill labor. Generally speaking, the higher the minimum wage, the greater the incentive for companies to substitute away from low-skill labor to relatively cheaper inputs including automated technology.
As with most policies, there are winners and losers. Workers who retain their jobs will get a raise as the policy intends. Even small raises are very welcome for low-income workers. Boosting the minimum wage can also mean slightly higher wages further up the wage distribution (a so-called “ripple effect” in the internal wage structure) to maintain employee morale. Moreover, this extra income to low-wage workers is likely to be immediately spent, so it can even lead to a mild short-run stimulative effect on the economy. But for the unlucky workers, it can instead mean losing their jobs because they are viewed as not producing enough revenue to justify their higher mandated wage. For these former employees, the effective “minimum wage” turns out to be zero, not their old $7.25 rate, nor the proposed $10.10 they were expecting to receive. Among other unintended consequences, higher input prices of labor may also translate into higher prices of goods and services which disproportionately harms the poor.
With some notable exceptions (see, e.g., Card and Krueger, American Economic Review, 1994 and AER comment by Neumark and Wascher, 2000), the vast majority of economic studies in the last 75 years conclude that minimum wage laws, while boosting some workers’ wages, have at least some dampening effect on employment. A recent (February 2014) report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) highlights this tradeoff. On the plus side, the CBO estimates that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would lift 900,000 families out of poverty and increase the incomes of 16.5 million low-wage workers. On the negative side, they estimate that the proposed wage hike would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers over the next two years (with considerable uncertainty about these numbers).
Some additional points are worth keeping in mind. First, most minimum wage jobs in the U.S. are entry-level positions. These jobs, while low paying, can be critically important in helping young or otherwise less-skilled workers learn new skills on the job, establish professional track records, and eventually move up the ladder. A reduction in the availability of entry-level jobs makes it more difficult for disadvantaged workers to gain traction in the labor force. Some will instead end up receiving income support through government transfer programs despite preferring to work.
More generally, one should be skeptical about the effectiveness of minimum wage laws in ameliorating poverty. There is only a loose relationship between working in a minimum wage job and living in (or near) poverty. Based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about half of all workers paid the minimum wage are teenagers or young adults under the age of 25, most of whom live in households with incomes far above the poverty line. To be sure, older workers earning the minimum wage are more likely to be struggling financially. Still, many are not poor. For example, many minimum wage workers are secondary earners in relatively high-income households.
If the objective is to reduce poverty, minimum wage laws (even if effective) are thought to be less “target efficient” than policies designed to directly subsidize the income of poor households – e.g., through tax credits, such as expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, or in-kind transfers such as food assistance or subsidized health insurance. From the public’s perspective, such programs cost money while a hike in the minimum wage appears to be free. Measuring true costs, of course, is more complicated than measuring the number of dollars spent on a program; mandatory wage increases are not free.

One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.
Stand in the sun? Comon man! You can't possibly be that dumb now can you? What do you pick cotton for a living? Stand in the sun?? Where? On my Caribbean vacation where I get waited on by.... ahem... We won't go there. Just let's have you Google "diseases that only black people get" and get back to me. Then we'll talk about the TRILLIONS of dollars sent to the motherland to feed the dark hordes. You know you can't last a month without feeding off the white teat!!

@Positive_Pronouns Exactly. So, in light of the fact that Democrats are fighting the production of American energy, while dropping all resistance to Russian energy, clearly enriches our enemy, while hurting OUR people, and especially the poor. Higher energy costs drive up the cost of everything, and most importantly, destroy entire industries under the guise of climate change (while China and Russia, and India) burn coal at INCREASING rates. WE LOSE our low energy cost COMPETITIVE EDGE and drive business to cheaper labor countries, taking jobs with them. BERNIE is a major factor in this disinformation campaign. The left has abandoned their "no more old white men" mantra now that they have a Communist working on their behalf. In his case... three homes, millions in the bank, and ZERO minorities in HIS district gets a free pass from them!

A Jeep Wrangler can cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is a descendant of the jeeps that were used by American forces in World War II. Equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, the Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle that is made in another country and brought to China’s shores.
Those taxes on imported cars have become a growing area of friction between the United States and China. American former officials and current advisers to President Trump say that concern about the widening United States deficit in automotive trade has become a pressing issue ahead of the president’s meeting in Florida next month with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

CNN covered for Hunter Biden... Here's what they are ignoring now...
At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

@clieu2349 We have no proof.. It's all just talk! We Chinese are not spies!! The United States indicted 10 Chinese, including two intelligence officers, over a five-year scheme to steal technology from US and French aerospace firms by hacking into their computers.
The indictments came 20 days after the Department of Justice obtained the unprecedented extradition of a senior Chinese intelligence official from Belgium to stand trial in the United States for running the alleged state-sponsored effort to steal US aviation industry secrets.
The Justice Department said the Chinese Ministry of State Security, through its Jiangsu province unit, engineered the effort to steal the technology underlying a turbofan engine used in US and European commercial airliners.
The engine was being developed through a partnership between a French aerospace manufacturer with an office in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and a US firm, it said.
The companies were not named, but earlier indictments pointed to Cincinnati, Ohio-based GE Aviation, one of the world’s leading aircraft engine manufacturers.
Meanwhile France’s Safran Group, which was working with GE Aviation on engine development, has an office in Suzhou.
The operation first became public in September when the US indicted a Chinese-American engineer for helping steal files at the direction of a top official of the Jiangsu State Security bureau.
Then on 10 October the Justice Department announced it had obtained the extradition of Xu Yanjun, the deputy division director of the Jiangsu bureau, from Belgium where he had apparently been lured and arrested in a counterintelligence operation.

Telecastvids REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS
Nurturing a Small Business Boon
- The Washington Times
“As we mark six months since Mr. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, we continue to see more Americans working,” Administrator Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, writes. “With more money in their pockets, Americans are spending again — and that’s good news for small businesses.”
-------------------------
Supreme Court Rules that President Trump's Travel Ban is Constitutional
- CNBC
The Supreme Court found this week that President Trump’s order on travel restrictions falls “squarely” within his executive authority, Tucker Higgins reports for CNBC. “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
-------------------------
American Money Flowing Back into America
- Fox Business
“America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of [President Trump’s] tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — the most on record,” Suzanne O’Halloran writes. “This is why many economists are boosting their GDP forecasts to between 3% and 4%.”
-------------------------
Foxconn Investment is Sign of More to Come
- Journal Times
“The groundbreaking on Foxconn’s $10-billion factory to produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant represents a milestone for America,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross writes. “It would never have happened without the promise of the Trump tax cuts and the President’s personal intervention.”
-------------------------
Stand Tough on Trade: It’s a Start to Give Support to U.S. Manufacturing
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board writes that President Trump “is forcing a re-examination of America’s trade policies, and making other countries consider the consequences of the trade war they have long waged upon us.” The editors remind readers that “America has been reflexively globalist and anti-protectionist for a long time now, and it has not worked. The Rust Belt has been impoverished.”
-------------------------
President Trump's Approval Rating Rises Among Hispanics
- RealClearPolitics
In RealClearPolitics, Steve Cortes points out that the main driver of President Trump’s growing popularity is “a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.” Cortes explains that “as President Trump pursues policies that drive growth and public safety – such as tax cuts and cracking down on the MS-13 gang – no wonder his popularity rises apace among Latinos.”
-------------------------
Democracy Requires Borders
- Washington Examiner
The Washington Examiner Editorial Board argues that the open border ideology of Democrats and left-wing commentators “is as dangerous as it is unpopular.” The editors paint a stark picture of that policy’s consequencs: “Theoretically, we could give up on borders, as some seem to want. But that would mean giving up on having a democratic society.”
-------------------------
President Trump Will Protect US Farmers from China's Trade Retaliation
- USA Today
“President Donald Trump is standing up to China, which wrongly believes it can bully our farmers to get America to back away from defending our national interests,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes in an op-ed for USA Today. “He will not allow U.S. agriculture to bear the brunt of China’s retaliatory tactics.”
-------------------------
The Great Economic Comeback is Greatest for Millennials
- Washington Examiner
“Thanks to a robust economy, historically low unemployment, and the largest tax cut in history, our country is in the midst of a great American comeback, and millennials, perhaps more than any other generation, will reap the fruit of this great economic boon,” Ryan Fournier writes.
-------------------------
Buying American Can Help Keep the Philly Shipyard Afloat
- The Philadelphia Inquirer
“President Trump’s commitment to a 355-ship United States Navy, together with this administration’s ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for United States industry, are creating the conditions for a more vibrant maritime industry and the rejuvenation of great maritime cities such as Philadelphia,” writes Peter Navarro, Director of the White House National Trade Council.
-------------------------
American Natural Gas Is Fueling the World’s Future
- Washington Examiner
Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes that “the United States is now producing enough natural gas and other fuels to be on the verge of energy independence. This positive development is untying the hands of our elected leadership, and enabling it to conduct foreign policy in a way that advances this Nation and its allies’ interests.”

@catfishbilly9191 I don't see that as ANY problem. This stuff happens all the time! You don't think our close allies like Britain and France kill people? It's meaningless. Tens of thousands of jobs were on the line. All of their families that depend on a paycheck, and the broken marriages, and stress that they would have, for what? Is that going to make anyone support Trump? It has nothing to do with us. He was a "contributor" to the Washington Post, an anti Trump rag. Piss on them. They were just unlucky enough to get caught. To me, the real question was what was the Turks doing bugging the Saudi embassy? They have audio of the inside of their consolate. This Saudi dude is a KING, not a president. You bad mouth him and there's consequences. Look at Thailand. You're forbidden to even say ANYTHING about their king, or you go to jail. He opened his mouth, too many times. Our government is no Angel either. In fact, we DID kill an American overseas. No trial, no no law, nothing, just murdered him, because he was helping AL Queda.

@BounceBackCK Yeah.. brainwashed... Released two weeks ago, the Census Bureau’s report on “Income and Poverty in the United States” for 2019 clearly shows that, pre-pandemic, President Trump’s economic success blew past that of any other presidency.
First, the Census Bureau reported that real median household income grew to $68,703 in 2019, an impressive 6.8% increase over 2018. It was the largest one-year increase in median income on record going back to 1967. It was also 45 percent more growth in a single year ($4,379) than Obama/Biden produced in their entire 8 years in office ($3,021).
As was the case throughout Trump’s first three years, the economic benefits were widespread. While the overall growth rate was 6.8%, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for Black Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6% for Asian Americans. All record highs as were the new income levels for each of these groups.

@leonzhuo1060 Chinese borrowing rose 14 percent in 2017, ballooning to 266 percent of gross domestic product, from 162 percent in 2008. That growth outpaced the U.K. and U.S. in the decade before the financial crisis. However, the de-risking campaign has begun to bite: Once-rare corporate debt defaults ran at a record pace in 2018; China’s huge conglomerates were reined in following debt-fueled acquisition sprees; the government targeted spending cuts in its budget; and sweeping rules were introduced to tackle shadow banking, a $10 trillion network of unregulated lending and risky investment products. There’s also been a focus on curbing loans to bloated state-owned enterprises, a task that Xi termed “the priority of priorities.” (More than half of China’s debt is held by state and private corporations.) The upshot is that the cycle of expanding credit that began in 2004 has ended, according to S&P Global Ratings. Nonetheless, former central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan warned in late 2017 of a buildup of financial risks that are “hidden, complex, sudden, contagious and hazardous.”

@zader2899 It's ingenious! She's going to collect cow farts. I know, I know.. It sounds crazy, but you see it's like hitting one bird with two stones. You can put people to work on farms collecting the methane!! Now, because of PETA, we can't eat the cows, or make shoes out of them (there goes my heels!) so, we're gonna phase them out. Genius! Now, I know.. You may be skeptical, and say "comon girl, how we gonna finance all of these farms". That's where you.. I mean the rich comes in! We're gonna tax the rich! Make you, uhh I mean them pay their fair share! First 70%.. then 80%.. Then 90% Well leave them have a little left for state taxes. It can't fail!!

The argument of, “the Americans drove the Indians off their land,” is so stupid if you examine it. The Indians always remained on the land, and they are still here today. One reason why many Europeans who spout this senseless argument is because they have never been to the United States and traveled around, or has bothered to read its history. If they did, they would know that there were many Indians all during our history, as there are many today. From the mid 1850s, they have had their own land to live on, called, Reservations. They can live there or anywhere that White people live. They have the best of both worlds--where they can live in any city and town that the rest of Americans do, and they can have a home and land on their reservations. On their reservations, they have their own laws. So, if they don’t like the laws that the US government has—as many other White Americans—they can live on their own land. For example, they can have their own casinos. A group of White people can’t get together as Indians can and decide this.
On Reservations, they can engage in any business without all the paperwork that burdens White (and other races) taxpayers. Each person has many acres for their personal property, as well as other public areas that are shared by all Indians. They can hunt, fish, camp, or do whatever they want without federal agents coming by to see if they have a permit to fish, hunt, camp, or whatever. This land is beautiful, though not always the best in the state, but none-the-less, it is wide-open land. They did not have to save their whole life to get it, but was given it by their ancestors in the 19th century, which was in turn GIVEN by the White man. Contrast that to Americans who had to work and save many, many years to buy even the smallest piece of land. On top of that, they have to pay yearly property taxes. If they can’t afford it, they have to sell it, or if they don’t sell it, the government takes it and holds what is called a “tax sales auction,” where someone else buys the right to your property. If you do manage to hold on to your property after retirement, and you leave your home to your children, they have to pay inheritance tax on it and lawyers fees. Many times family members have to sell the home and land because they don’t have the cash to pay the blood-sucking government. Are the Indians--whom we are constantly told were driven from their land--treated like this? No! All their property is inherited tax-free, and can thus be fully enjoyed.

Where the Money Goes
One of the easiest stimulus projects to get under way is resurfacing the aforementioned “poor or mediocre” stretches of blacktop—what Bruce Barkevich of the New York Construction Materials Association calls “freshening up” a road.
Here’s how $1 billion would get doled out on a hypothetical repaving of a two-lane, 24-foot-wide New York road using the state’s latest cost estimates, which cover both materials and labor.
$1 Billion = 3,022 Miles
• 65%: $213,945 per mile of asphalt laid, raked, and rolled
• 10%: $35,904 per mile of road striped with two white edge lines and double-yellow centerline
• 5%: $16,544 per mile in spending on flag men and other miscellany
• 20%: $64,486 per mile of old blacktop milled and hauled
5. The Bottom Line
It’s oversimplifying, certainly, but putting all the numbers together yields this ratio: 1 Mile = 9.2 Jobs

Qing He They say that the first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem. Only now, as the public becomes aware that the "Made in China" label is tainted with a huge number of shoddy and dangerous products, are companies beginning to understand there is a serious problem. The next step is to ask: why do Chinese manufacturers behave so badly?
The nature of the relationship between Chinese suppliers and Western importers is the key to the problem. Chinese factories are typically paid for their wares before they are shipped, so they have every reason to cut a corner or two.
Only after the containers have arrived at their destination are problems uncovered, and taking Chinese factories to court is not an option because of China's underdeveloped legal system.
Chinese manufacturers will do whatever they need to in order to catch a piece of business, but from there, the relationship often goes downhill, albeit in small steps. "Quality fade", the quiet and incremental degradation of a product's quality over time, is one of the more common issues.
Because Chinese manufacturers know that they cannot be matched anywhere else, and also that their Western customers prefer continuity in their supply chain, they feel comfortable nibbling away at quality levels, despite whatever contracts they may have signed. Product failures are, in effect, the result of a game that is being played and lost by Western companies in China.

@cbssaaa8924 Yes, I think you are stupid. physics and chemistry does not teach you about the world, in the same way the study of breasts teaches you about love!! It is a statement that reveals your stupidity. Now, if TENS OF THOUSANDS, not ten, a hundred, or a thousand, kill, maim injure, bomb, and preach hatred for the Jew, preach worldwide Jihad, and do it in the name of ISLAM, while it's followers keep quiet, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? If you don't know, then you are stupid. You know someone, not by what they say, but by what they DO, and as I've told you, visit the religion of Peace dot com and get the facts on the Islamic menace. Do you argue, for example.. Oh how can you say that the mafia is criminal, when very old peaceful men are in charge? Don't you see them at the church on Sunday? Look at the modest homes they have!! Do you think I'm stupid? I study astrophysics, and nuclear engineering, and the MAFIA are wonderful people that feed the hungry!! THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO STUDY.

magg chan The consequences of such relentless work can be dire. Reports in China’s state-run media last year claimed that a staggering 600,000 citizens were dying from over-work each year.
A 2012 editorial in the China Daily newspaper complained: “Employers cajole, persuade, goad or force their workers to work overtime because they want to perform better in China’s highly competitive market to ensure that they don’t go out of business.”
What about the more affluent?
Better-off Chinese people are suffering, too. A report by the Boston Consulting Groupclaimed that half of China’s more affluent classes now complained of health issues stemming from “work pressures, family obligations, and long work hours”.
“Common complaints were insomnia, fatigue, a lack of energy, obesity, and frequent illness,” it warned. “The incidence of these complaints is growing fast, especially among younger people.”
What’s the impact on productivity?
But all those man-hours do not necessarily pay off. Chinese experts have urged employers to reduce workloads as a way of boosting productivity.
“Working overtime is not good for workers’ health and does not improve productivity and efficiency,” said Li, the Beijing-based labour economist.

Nick Nack END OF DEBATE....
Paul Ryan claims the US is the 'oldest democracy' in the world. Is he right?
By Sarah Hauer on Monday, July 11th, 2016 at 5:00 a.m.

This famous John Trumbull painting shows the signing of the Declaration of Independence. With the Constitution, did the founding fathers create the oldest democracy in the world?
When Democratic lawmakers staged a sit-in on the House floor calling for legislative action on gun control, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was unamused.
Clearly frustrated at the behavior, Ryan called the sit-in a political stunt and adjourned the House for recess for the Fourth of July holiday.
Once back in Wisconsin, Ryan appeared June 26, 2016 on Mike Gousha’s "Upfront" show on WISN TV. Gousha asked about the House Democrats, noting they said they felt like they weren’t being heard.
"We heard them plenty," Ryan said.
"You did hear them," Gousha said. "And your reaction was you’re worried about the decorum in the House. They’re talking about maybe doing more of this sort of thing when you return from recess on July 5. Are you going to handle it the same way?"
"No, we’re not going to handle it the same way," Ryan said.
"What would you do differently?," Gousha asked.
"Well, we’re working on that," Ryan said. "We will not take this. We will not tolerate this. This is the oldest deliberative body in the world. We are the oldest democracy. And we have rules of decorum so that we can peacefully settle our issues and actually have democracy."
Having just celebrated our nation’s independence from England, we thought the time was right to take a look at whether the United States is "the oldest democracy" in the world.
U.S. founding documents
The Greeks first coined the term democracy to describe self rule. The term derives from the Greek word "demos," meaning people. The city states of Ancient Greece, most notably Athens, ruled themselves.
Many historians also consider the Roman Republic a type of democracy. But both of those empires have long since fallen and, of course, are no longer in the running to be "the oldest democracy."
The United States declared its independence from England on July 4, 1776.
After a brief period governed by the Articles of Confederation, the founding fathers drafted a new, governing document establishing our government as it operates today. The U.S. Constitutionwas ratified in 1788.
PolitiFact National checked a claim on the Constitution in 2011 when former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Republican, said the United States has "the longest surviving constitution."
Defining a constitution as a single governing document, the claim was rated Mostly True. The U.S. constitution is the oldest single governing document, though other countries are governed by multiple documents older than our constitution. The Massachusetts state constitution is older, ratified in 1780, and served as a model for the authors of the U.S. Constitution.
Ryan’s team sent us to that factcheck as backup for his statement that the U.S. is "the oldest democracy."
"That founding document established our democracy," said Ian Martorana, Ryan’s press secretary. "It stands to reason that if America has the oldest constitution (that founded the democracy in question), then America also has the oldest democracy."
With that in mind, we turned to the history books.
Democracy vs. republic
The founding fathers feared direct democracy, which involves people deciding directly on policy initiatives and regarded it as an ill-advised form of government. They feared tyranny of the majority as much as that of a king.
Instead, they created what is typically referred to as a representative democracy or republic -- the people elect leaders who make decisions on their behalf with a system that protected minority rights

@sunshinecurrent9128 No actually, facts are facts, and the rest is all speculation. The gospels of the New Testament were written hundreds of years after Jesus walked the earth, disappeared to India, and copied many of the teachings of Buddha. As I've said, you can look to your rewards in the next life, I'll get mine in the here and now. You can follow the dictates of religions that have led to countless millions dying for nothing, all in the name of God. Your idea of treating one "as you expect to be treated", is a shall we say, oxymoron of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS! No, I'll treat each and every individual differently as I DEEM appropriate. I refuse to treat a murderer as I would want to be treated. A pedophile, rapists, traitor, all are subject to SOMEONE'S judgment, whether judge or jury, why am I expected to act differently? It's nonsense.

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

WILL BERNIE TALK ABOUT THIS?
As RedState’s regular readers are aware, LA County’s new District Attorney, George Gascon, issued a number of Special Directives on his first day in office in December 2020 including an end to cash bail, a blanket prohibition on charging enhancements (such as gun, gang, multiple victims, committing a crime while on bail) and strikes, and an end to charging any – any – juvenile as an adult.
Predictably, the latest crime statistics reported by the Los Angeles Police Department show a massive increase in homicides, shootings, and gang violence when compared to the same time period in January 2020 – as in three-digit increases. Murders are up 136.4% and shootings are up 261.5%, while aggravated assaults are up 17.5% and motor vehicle thefts are up 17.6%.

@duggydugg3937 Oops!!!! I forgot! Those same people don't do analogies!! What a waste of good electrons even trying to explain anything to you!! ( Whaaat? what does banking have to do with electrons?)
So why CANT they loan out ten percent?? If EVERY ONE of it's depositors doesn't need EVERY last dollar that they've deposited, all at the EXACT same time, then why not? This ensures that there will ALWAYS be more LENDING than SAVING. But..but...the small minds say, isn't that just manufacturing cash out of thin air? No, because (drum roll please) the FEDERAL RESERVE is there to back those deposits through the FDIC. The bank simply has no need to hold vast amounts of cash in it's vault doing NOTHING while it can be out there (along with the other 90%) helping to (pay attention now) grow the economy through lower interest rates. WHY lower interest rates? Because the more the cash in circulation , the lower the charge is interest, for it. HOWEVER. And it's a BIG HOWEVER, when that amount of cash exceeds the growth of the economy , then you have inflation. That's NOT the feds fault. It's government SPENDING too much. THATS what leads to inflation. It's THOSE DOLLARS that are manufactured out of thin air that flood the economy, that cause inflation. Which is a TAX on the poor that allows the government to BLAME the Federal reserve, absolving themselves of all blame. Now go slow.. re-read all that before you say more stupid statements. Without your ten to one loan ratio, people would go to the bank for a loan, and they'd say "sorry! we don't have enough cash on hand to loan to you. Not enough savings". Forget about that car, college, hospital bill for grandma, or new business that you need money for. WHY not enough savings though? Because people CAN choose to invest in stocks or bonds instead. What I've told you has made the USA the biggest economy, the strongest economy, and one of the highest performing economies in the world. That's why people are flooding across OUR borders to get in, while others are trying to get OUT of their socialist countries. You know, the ones with free healthcare for all!!

@duggydugg3937 Pass through agency?? Hahahaha. Look stop fooling yourself. You don't know what you're talking about, and you're not alone. Millions of people are so poorly educated, they are price candidates for socialist disinformation campaigns. Your GOVERNMENT wants to put the blame on ANYONE but themselves for their reckless spending. Democrats being the BIGGEST problem of them all. You know in Communist countries, they teach all the kiddies how to be good little communists. However, in American schools they teach THEIR children how to be.....good little communists. Our national debt is a problem. But NOT a big problem, and certainly not the most URGENT problem. Government is our problem, and the solution lies with voting Democrats OUT of office, and repairing the damage they've done since Trump was cheated out of reelection. followed by a thoughtful and MEASURED movement towards energy independence ALONG WITH renewables. As long as they have voters convinced it's big business (apple, McDonald's, etc???) or the Federal reserve (the people that THEY installed) that are the ones responsible for societies ills, then we'll never see conditions improve, only continued growth of THEIR POWER. Follow each problem BACK to hold those responsible for creating it, and mae sure they are REMOVED from office at the next election. In short...vote Democrats OUT. Period.

Iran has pursued a deliberate policy of kidnapping and unjustly detaining innocent Americans since the very beginning of its revolutionary regime. In its infancy in 1979, the regime violated every norm of diplomacy for the past two millennia by holding 52 American diplomats from our embassy in Tehran hostage for 444 days.
Since then, Iran, either directly or through Hizbollah or its other proxies, has kidnapped American diplomats, hikers, students, tourists, naturalized United States citizens visiting their families in Iran, businessmen and sailors. Iran sadly continues this uncivilized and unethical conduct even today.
Bob Levinson’s family has been trying to bring him home for over 11 years. Bob has missed his children’s and grandchildren’s weddings, graduations, baptisms, first communions and birthdays for over a decade. Cruelly, since admitting that Iran held Bob in custody back in 2007, the regime now denies knowing anything about him. It is hard to imagine the suffering Iran has inflicted on Bob and his family for more than a decade.

@StormCrownSr No, you spread that because he TELLS you that. But, talk to those people in those "developed" nations. You know what they say? Months and sometimes YEARS on waiting lists, decisions made, not in your best interest but to hold down costs, no "latest advanced drugs". Why do you think people come HERE to the USA to get surgery? Did you ever hear of a new revolutionary drug coming from Sweden? So, does Bernie ever tell you how we pay for MILLIONS of people that come here illegally every year? Ones that need schools, hospitals, and yes prison and social services? Who's PAYING for these desperate poor from poor countries? The wealthy? You think that THEY will pay? What do you know that is run by the government that is EXCELLENT?? Is it the post office or FEDEX? Is it the VA hospital or your local hospital? You get what YOU pay for.. Not what "someone else" as promised by 80 year old President Bernie promises! HERE IS YOUR FREE HEALTHCARE IN CANADA..... In 2016, the average unattached (single) individual, earning an average income of $42,914, will pay approximately $4,257 for pub- lic health care insurance. An average Canadian family consisting of two adults and two chil- dren (earning approximately $122,101) will pay about $11,494 for public health care INSURANCE. THATS JUST FOR INSURANCE.. DON'T FORGET TAXES TOO!!

@somerandomvertebrate9262 Are you suggesting that Central banks (aka the Fed) is a smart investor?
They got us 23 trillion in debt and you want to listen to them?? Let me educate you........
From 1990 to 2020, the price of gold increased by around 360%.2 Over the same period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 991%.1 If we look now at the 15-year period from 2005 to 2020, the price of gold increased by 330%, roughly the same as the 30 years considered above.2 Over the same period, the DJIA increased by only 153%.1 Then, if we only consider the years 2021 and 2022, gold has outperformed stocks as geopolitical uncertainty and inflation increased worldwide.
So, over the longer term, stocks seem to outperform gold by about 3-to-1, but over shorter time horizons, gold may win out. Indeed, if we go way back to the 1920s through today, stock returns blow gold away.

The People’s Bank of China boosted reserves to 2,076 tons from December to May, adding itself to a chorus of other banks that bolstered reserves such as Turkey, India and Singapore.
However, when fears of a post-COVID economic slowdown emerged, China began to slash purchases in the spring, partly to finance an upcoming stimulus program to shore up its sagging economy. Turkey followed suit, selling 160 tons from March to May, according to the World Gold Council (WGC). This after soaring inflation prompted consumers to purchase the precious metal, forcing Turkey’s Central Bank to pare its holdings while curbing gold imports to rein in a growing current account deficit.

On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

Trump right again!!!
Well, Dr. Birx must have missed the press release, published by the AP on April 20th, announcing the novel treatment developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai that administers ultraviolet light inside the bodies of patients inflicted with respiratory infections. The research team at Cedars-Sinai is currently working with the FDA to explore an expedited regulatory process to use the treatment as a possible medical intervention for those suffering from the Wuhan coronavirus.
(Via AP)
[Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”)], a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced today that it has signed an exclusive worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai to develop and commercialize the Healight Platform Technology (“Healight”). This medical device technology platform, discovered and developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, is being studied as a potential first-in-class treatment for coronavirus and other respiratory infections.
...
The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus.
...
“Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells,” stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, “Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens.

If Trump wins, we won't get to hear news like THIS that is kept secret..
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

@X00079X We'll, that may be true, but I feel strongly that there is a segment of the Chinese population that is brilliant, on the level with Einstein! But, the system they live in, doesn't reward exceptional talent or brains. It's all about "the people". I really don't believe that down deep in the Chinese soul, lies the idea that you win most when your opponent wins too. The government "says" that, but in practice, it's dog eat dig, and to the lion goes the spoils. I once had a class on all the world's cultures, and there was two things that stood out to me about the Chinese. First was maintaining FACE or APPEARANCE, not to be shamed or humiliated, but the second had to do with a family banquet. They said QUANTITY mattered, not necessarily QUALITY. As long as the table showed an abundance of food, a LARGE amount, that was better than expensive and high quality items. Those two things taught me a lot.

@burner9147 So I guess that's a real compliment to the right wing. Being rich means we are WINNING the Capitalist game, while the poor, stupid, loafers, with a few bucks in their pockets, are clear losers. As for the suckers, we'll take them over the sick, twisted, degenerates, leftist commies, anarchists , and disgruntled failures on the left. Bolshevik Bernie is both rich AND a sucker.

@simphiwedlamini. It could be South Africa. But, it doesn't matter. Now, wake your brain up from its coma. I have traveled all over the world. My father was in the military, and I spent my whole life visiting and living in different countries from Asia, Africa, Europe, and even Russia and the Balkans. I've been to the Middle East, and the Caribbean, even Australia and New Zealand. I can tell you this with 100% certainty. If it ain't white, it ain't right. It's a shit hole, backward filthy country. Now, what country do you want to talk about, and I'll tell you the truth.. EVEN if you live there.

They say that the first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem. Only now, as the public becomes aware that the "Made in China" label is tainted with a huge number of shoddy and dangerous products, are companies beginning to understand there is a serious problem. The next step is to ask: why do Chinese manufacturers behave so badly?
The nature of the relationship between Chinese suppliers and Western importers is the key to the problem. Chinese factories are typically paid for their wares before they are shipped, so they have every reason to cut a corner or two.
Only after the containers have arrived at their destination are problems uncovered, and taking Chinese factories to court is not an option because of China's underdeveloped legal system.
Chinese manufacturers will do whatever they need to in order to catch a piece of business, but from there, the relationship often goes downhill, albeit in small steps. "Quality fade", the quiet and incremental degradation of a product's quality over time, is one of the more common issues.
Because Chinese manufacturers know that they cannot be matched anywhere else, and also that their Western customers prefer continuity in their supply chain, they feel comfortable nibbling away at quality levels, despite whatever contracts they may have signed. Product failures are, in effect, the result of a game that is being played and lost by Western companies in China.

@totalyfakenews I "lead" with many self identifiers. Father, fireman, college graduate, Boss, Christian, Missourian, neighbor, friend....you see it just depends on what context I find myself in. Identity is GOOD. Only empty shell, poorly educated, disgruntled losers, that are wandering in life TRYING to find their identity lack one. He's perfectly normal in his speech.

@mirandaryan1561 At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

Thank you Jesus... A watchdog group is accusing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his 2016 campaign of breaking federal election laws by allowing three foreign nationals to work on the campaign in decision-making positions.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a group that protects the First Amendment and monitors the government for ethics violations, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Friday with its allegations against Sanders.
The complaint says that Erika Andiola, Cesar Vargas, and Maria Belén Sisa were hired for managerial roles on Sanders' 2016 campaign, which led to them illegally influencing the election as foreign nationals. According to the foundation, foreigners are banned from participating in the decision-making process for U.S. political campaigns.
Coolidge Reagan Foundation chairman Shaun McCutcheon said, "Bernie Sanders is obsessed with the 'Russian collusion' and 'foreign interference' narratives, and yet he allows foreign nationals to influence our elections for his personal benefit — in direct violation of the law. It's time for Americans to hold him accountable, and for the FEC to make him 'feel the bern' for breaking the law."

“We are not morally bad people for taking carbon and turning it into the energy that offers life to humanity in a world that would otherwise be brutal,” Christy wrote in a recent oped. “On the contrary, we are good people for doing so.”
Carbon-based energy, which is “the most affordable and reliable source of energy in demand today, liberates people from poverty,” Christy explained to CNSNews.com. “Without energy, life is brutal and short.”
Pointing out that it was “warmer 4,000 to 5,000 years ago than it is today,” Christy said that the computer models cited by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted global warming that is “three times” what the satellite data shows is the Earth’s actual temperature. “It demonstrates we do not know how to model the climate system, in my view,” Christy said.
“All the datasets show some slight warming (+0.11 degrees Celsius per decade since Nov. 16, 1978), some more than others,” he told CNSNews.com. “But still, the amount of warming is much, much less than what was anticipated from climate models, and that’s what I’ve been showing and demonstrating in various venues, including Congress.
“In a congressional hearing last May, I demonstrated that the models are significantly above in their temperature projection from where we actually are right now. So if you go back 36 years to 1979 and run the models, they all show lots of warming. The real world shows very little warming” despite rising levels of CO2.
On May 13, Christy told the House Committee on Natural Resources that even if the U.S. completely eliminated its fossil fuel emissions, so that “there would be no industry, no cars, no utilities, no people” – the impact on global temperatures would be “so tiny as to be immeasurable.”
“The two largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific as well as volcanic eruptions, which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere. So once you account for both of those, there’s not a whole lot of warming in the planet,” Christy told CNSNews.com.
“The conclusion we have reached is that the world, the global climate, is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide. And that can occur if the climate responds in its many facets to release heat – when you add the heat from carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the climate system, but the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat into space.

@MattAngiono That's Hillarious! Money was never, and is not now, a store of wealth. It's a medium of EXCHANGE and nothing else! I get small pieces of paper for my promise to repay them under certain conditions that I have agreed to fulfill. I don't care if they put MY face on that currency. I can take them and buy a car, home, vacation, clothes, or just about anything I want. WHO CARES where, or how, the bank gets them to give to me! Inflation is 2%, and they loan the money to me at 4%. That means for a measly TRUE 2% that I get to ENJOY my house, car, or vacation NOW instead of saving YEARS doing without. If THAT'S slavery, I'll take lots more of it!! The bank has ten percent of my money, because THEY LOAN IT OUT to someone else! If everyone tries to pull theirs out at once, THE FDIC steps in and loans the bank the cash to fill those withdrawals.. Only Anarchists, communists, and low IQ individuals have a problem with or banking system. Which one are you?

@MattAngiono Bahahahaha PAY attention.. Isn't it BECAUSE "I'm so wealthy", that I have the ability to waste my time? Do the poor slugs with lint in their pockets, that have to work to eat, have lots of free time? DUH!! I see that you got off banking FAST, because you're a yo yo that made a fool of himself, and now you resort to attacking me?? Yeah, I'm brainwashed into thinking that I have a beautiful home (paid off) a two year old luxury car (paid off) and enough cash, skills, and education, to last TWO lifetimes, but it's just all brainwashing!! WHEEEE.. I honk my horn as I pass the bus stop, at "realists" and Capitalist haters like you. Yeah, I don't know what money is.. I just seem to HAVE PLENTY for some strange reason, while YOU the expert on banking and economics, are using the wifi at McDonald's to spread SCHTOOPID opinions on YouTube!!

@MattAngiono Matt, let me toss you a few crumbs from my bountiful table. You're living on a tropical beach, and while others have built comfy accommodations, learned to fish, and find coconuts, you are dehydrating on the beach, complaining because the ocean refuses to drop fish in your lap. You blame the ocean for all of your misery. You despise those around you with their Pina coladas, and dug out canoes. For some strange reason, you feel that you are being "controlled", and that the "system" is unfair to you. Instead of doing what a monkey would do.... copy the successful, you just shake your fist at the ocean.. But, let me end on this. It's because of slugs like you that makes the good life, all that much sweeter. We raise our drinks to you, and the ocean. My work here is complete.

@botchii3059 Well, the fact that you think that some elected official is smarter than you, in knowing how to spend YOUR money, better than you do, is a choice that YOU make. As an American, I don't believe that giving MY money to an elected official to use as bait to get himself elected, is a wise choice. If fat Americans would get off tgeir ass and exercise, stop drinking, and smoking, and stuffing their face, we wouldn't have health problems. We also, wouldn't have problems in providing "free" Healthcare, if we weren't subsidizing blood sucking countries like yours that depend on the USA for protection. Now, LETS GET THE FACTS..... Half of all patients across Australia wait more than a month for an elective hospital procedure, such as a hip replacement. This is in addition to waiting for an outpatient visit so they can be added to the elective procedure wait list. http://theconversation.com/waiting-for-better-care-why-australias-hospitals-and-health-care-are-failing-104862

@sesaarinen Now, you switch to Finland? The Russians don't invade Finland, because NO ONE WANTS IT! How many people take vacation in Finland? They're just another fence sitter against Communism. Yes, the USA has done MANY awesome things, and Finland has done nothing! How have they contributed to humanity? Maybe a few cans of kipper for Africa? Who cares about Finnish culture? Finnish music, or art? The ONLY reason they're not speaking German is because of the Russians and Americans! No wonder that they have money for Healthcare! Here is how you BLEED just the Americans.... Two-way trade in goods totaled $7.42 billion, with U.S. goods exports toFinland totaling $1.53 billion and Finnishgoods exports to the United Statestotaling $5.89 billion, chiefly computer equipment and electronics, transportation equipment, chemicals, forestry products, and machinery. OH AND LETS NOT IGNORE THIS... Finland’s entire government resigned Friday after the governing coalition failed to agree on the welfare state reform, just one month before elections were due to be held.

@sesaarinen Your arguments are calm and unemotional, because you lie under interrogation. Every point you make, I refute. So... You calmly and unemotionally change the subject to new lies. It started with great health care. I showed you, that it is not great. You then moved to what a wonderful travel destination it is. I showed you it is expensive and boring. Finally, you insist that you are great defenders of your land, and I WIKIPEDIA you back to reality, showing you the truth. S.. L.. O.. W... Handclap. I tell you that your socialist economy relies on SELLING to others, but not BUYING from them. That your culture, art, music, and contributions to mankind, has not resulted in more than reindeer shit. And now, you finally admit that you pay NOTHING for your defense provided BY NATO?? You want TRADE with the EU, but pay nothing towards its military alliance. As I've said... A fence sitter. Someone that PRETENDS to be friends to both sides. At least we know a snake when we see one. A HAPPY ONE... https://youtu.be/9FPU4F-Ajh8

@sesaarinen It's no wonder Africans are taking over your country! All the men belong in dresses! Finland DID NOTHING TO END THE MASSACRE or to "bring peace to Rwanda", as you've so blatantly indicated!! The genocide and widespread slaughter of Rwandans ended after the Tutsi-backed and heavily armed Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), led by Paul Kagame, took control of the capital, Kigali, and the country. An estimated 2,000,000 Rwandans, mostly Hutu, were displaced and became refugees. It's like claiming you brought peace to Europe after you surrendered!! I addressed EVERY CLAIM that came from your mouth, and proved them ALL WRONG! Finland is full of ass kissers and appeasers

@cobaltblueviolet You are HALLUCINATING. The farmers have made out like bandits under Trump. Here GET THE FACTS..... If you're caught in a trade war, it's good to be a farmer.
Lots of American companies have lost sales since the Trump administration and China embarked on the current cycle of tariff-raising and retaliation. Few, if any, have been compensated as handsomely as farmers.
This week, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue unveiled details of the latest aid package for farmers who've lost export sales. It includes $14.5 billion in direct payments to farmers, another $1.4 billion in government purchases of agricultural commodities that will be distributed to food banks, and $100 million in loose change to promote exports to new countries. This is on top of $12 billion in aid that the Trump administration distributed last year.
Farmers will receive payments simply based on how much land they've planted with crops that are affected by tariffs, how much milk they produce or how many hogs they own. "We want sign-up to be easy for producers [and] straightforward," said Bill Northey, undersecretary for farm production and conservation, "[so] that we can get these payments to them to address the challenges that they have due to these tariffs."

Gustavo Fabregas Where do you get that information? Who told you that nonsense? Trump opened up oil drilling with $30 an hour jobs. Manufacturing is at a 20 year high with high wages. Are millions of people flooding across the border computer programmers? What jobs are they qualified for EXCEPT Walmart and McDonald jobs, which by the way, start at $13 an hour! Trump lowered the federal income tax so that they pay ZERO income tax on that money (except state tax) so 12 X 8 is $96 a day or about $2000 a month! Not bad for someone that barely knows how to tie their shoes! Go to the Bureau of Labor statistics and get THE FACTS instead of listening to the old Bolshevik. HERE'S what you are voting for by electing demon rats........ https://www.foxnews.com/media/dr-marc-siegel-san-francisco-awash-in-human-waste NOW HERE IS YOUR TRUE JOB INFORMATION.......

CNN JUST LIES AND LIES AND LIES... Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Are THESE the ones you're talking about??...... On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

@Wolfsheim23 Leaving for wherever they feel they're given a better deal. Shitheads complain about poor education in our schools when they're out getting drunk or drugs instead of THEM teaching their children. You have a problem with jobs? Go to Cuba, they'll find you a job. You can get free health benefits while you work in the cane fields. Maybe you're seeing the many people of color that come from all over the world and excel at business and academia here, yet you can't seem to make it here in the land of white oppression, while they do. Then it's time to move to Zimbabwe. They'll treat you mighty fine! Pearly white? Don't like the rich people "controlling all the wealth", then you can go to North Korea. There's financial equality there. Almost. But, basically all America asks is to DONT GET PREGNANT, STAY IN SCHOOL, GET A JOB, WORK HARD. That formula has worked for millions that have struggled and worked for their families. Vietnamese, Cuban, Pakistani, Chinese, and others that stop moaning and blaming the country just because they're are a Mal adjust sack of shit that can't exhibit the moral courage to stay with their children and raise them. Does that answer you?

@Wolfsheim23 Brevity isn't one of your finer points, now is it. Now listen, dark one.... I've wasted too much time trying to educate you, but you can't teach a fish to whistle. Talking to you doesn't require "presumption" You don't know how my reference to ANYTHING makes sense to you, because as I've pointed out, you appear from your diatribe to be a person of low IQ, which is typical for your race. Now, as to others and what THEY say, I have no control over, nor do I want it, but I can ease your bewilderment somewhat by pointing out that this is the comment section. Comments are like assholes, everyone has one. Some you agree with, some you don't. Smart ones may appear dumb to you, and dumb ones might seem smart. But, in any case no one appointed you judge. No one gifted you with the ability to point out "narrow minded" people, when you have plenty to discover in your own back yard. Everything you know is wrong. Got that? Racism is bad? No, racism is good. Greed is bad? No greed runs our entire economy. Blacks have been abused? No blacks have been coddled. You've been educated? No, you don't know anything. You're a scholar with the dollar? You don't even know who's face is on a hundred dollar bill. Everything you know is wrong. Yet, you want to tell us about being "narrow minded" There's not ONE subject that you've mastered. NOTHING that you can call yourself an expert at. Not ONE skill in which you are a master. Yet, you spout off to others. My work here is finished.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@Jondsmusic I don't know about that. It's how you define "debt".. Sure we owe 22 trillion. But, what about the untold trillions due coming down the road in social security, Medicare, and medicaid payments? If they have public suffering, there's mumbles of complaint. If we have public suffering, there's a riot. They don't worry about losing the election, do they? When THEY control the media, they control the masses. Here, they find a few homeless (less than one percent) and make it front page news. China doesn't have that problem. Sure, it may be hurting, but they CAN'T be seen as buckling to the USA. Pride and "face" is everything in Chinese culture. They will shoot themselves in the foot, before they feel shamed on the world stage. Do they want an agreement? Yes. Will they re-do all the machinations and criminality that has gotten them so far, so fast? That remains to be seen. I say they make promises. Trump calls it a win. Xi calls it a win... Then they go on cheating and lying, copying and stealing, as usual.

2016: Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders says concerns about his honeymoon trip to the USSR in the ’80s are “silly." He’ll have a harder time explaining his months-long stay at a hardcore Stalinist camp in the ’60s.
It’s clear the self-avowed socialist is even further left than he has admitted. Fifty years ago, during the height of the Cold War, he sought out communist indoctrination.
The Israeli press earlier this month broke the story that Sanders, who is Jewish, spent several months at an Israeli commune co-founded by a Soviet spy. The revelation is just now wending its way through the American media, where it’s been confirmed by none other than the New York Times, though the pro-Democrat paper predictably buried the story on its back pages.
As a college student in 1963, Sanders was a guest of the Hashomer Hatzair, a Marxist youth movement founded by communist Ya’akov Hazan, who called the Soviet Union a second homeland and eulogized Stalin as “the great leader and extolled commander. We lower our flag in grief in memory of the great revolutionary fighter (and) architect of socialist construction.”
Ignoring Stalin’s atrocities, Hazan oozed: “His huge historical achievements will guide generations in their march toward the reign of socialism and communism the world over.”
The Marxist movement Sanders joined pledged its allegiance to the Soviet Union and was described as “Stalinist” as late as 1969 — well after Sanders’ visit.
Sanders has acknowledged staying at a “kibbutz;” but there are many of them in Israel, and he and his campaign have refused to ID which one he attended. The Tel Aviv paper Haaretz dug up the records, revealing the exact camp -- Sha’ar Ha’amakim -- and noted that it was founded in 1935 during Stalin’s reign.
The Times reported that Sanders' camp viewed the USSR as a model society worthy of adoption, and often flew the Red flag at its events -- the same flag, notably, that Sanders would later hang in his office as mayor of Burlington, Vt., according to the New York Post.
The Times says Sanders and his comrades would farm in the morning and then partake in “cultural events” in the afternoon. Did he sing the communist workers’ anthem? Pay homage to Lenin and Stalin?
Voters ought to know. Only, the media aren't interested in finding out. So far no debate moderator has asked Sanders about his commie camp days. Strikingly, even Fox News let Sanders off the hook in a rare interview last Sunday.
Sanders has a long resume of radicalism. Here’s the rest of Sanders’ subversive past the media are keeping under wraps:
1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.
Let’s hope it is leaked to the public before Sanders gets any closer to the White House.

JackFrost That's why we support him. He kills the guilty FELONS while you kill the innocent unborn. In New York, more than 5,800 nursing home residents have died in connection to COVID-19, the most in the country.
On March 25, New York officials ordered nursing homes to admit infected patients, if medically stable. Then, as deaths mounted inside the facilities, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy on May 10 under pressure from advocates and relatives.
In contrast, Florida, which never ordered nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, reported 1043 nursing home resident deaths as of May 22, despite having more of the elderly care facilities than New York.

Al Clark No. This is what I'm telling you. HE KNOWS what to say and when. Then WHEN HE GETS POWER he changes!! To wit... Indeed, as the history of Latin American migration shows, it is subject to rapid surges in response to economic shock, such as the 1995 collapse of the Mexican peso, and social unrest like the violence that has combined with economic misery to propel the ongoing influx of minors from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Meanwhile, illegal immigration from Asia and Africa has seen sharp growth, and illegal immigrants continue to arrive in the United States at the rate of 300,000 to 400,000 every year.
But the Sanders website omitted such complexity in order to advance an argument whose super-heated tone was characteristic of the confrontational Carmona. It flatly declared: "The idea that we have hoards (sic) of undocumented immigrants pouring across the border is a myth propagated by racist, right-wing media and political actors."24 What Carmona had described as an important reality of Mexican immigration the Sanders campaign now condemns as an errant notion propagated by the malicious clamoring of bigots and hacks.
A MYTH?? Here's a guy telling you that we don't have an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PROBLEM? If you believe that, you have to be hallucinating. Sure, and we don't have ILLEGAL VOTING HUH? That's why the Democrats are fighting to keep a bipartisan commission from investigating into that! He "says" no open borders, but everything he DOES supports it. DACA. with all the "extended" family members allowed to enter. He supports EVERY action that helps them and empowers them, like drivers licenses, expanded Medicare that gives them FREE HEALTHCARE all the while acting like a BIG SUPPORTER of the working man, that ultimately winds up having to PAY for his socialism. You want to see Bernieville? Look at Venezuela. EXACT SAME PRINCIPLES. EXACT SAME SOAK THE RICH. TAX THE CORPORATIONS (which pass on the costs to US) This is EXACTLY what communists do to gain power. SAUL ALYNSKI. wrote the book on it! Bernie mastered it.

Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

@easonhuang7117 You stand, I'll sit. Made in China’ loses its luster
To be sure, even before the trade war started last year, factory production had begun to leave China, stung by the country’s slowing economy, rising labor costs, and tighter environmental regulations.
But, over the past month, the pressure has intensified. As Trump ratchets up his rhetoric, many American business leaders have taken to earnings conference calls to describe what they see as exigent circumstances. To adapt to an increasingly volatile playing field, executives are being pushed to rethink their supply chains.
And, in an annual survey conducted in June by the U.S.-China Business Council, nearly 30% of the 220 respondents said they have already slowed, delayed or cancelled investments in China or the U.S. due to mounting trade uncertainty. That’s twice as many businesses as last year.

@yh8964 I have the greatest source on earth letting me decide what's the truth or not. My own two eyeballs. People using their phones to upload to the Internet. China hires hundreds to prevent that. Chinese communists determine what you can see or hear. Anyone in the USA can get information from BBC, AL JAZERA, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CBC, and on and on.. Chinese people get information from Communist Party and...... communist party and..... did I forget to mention.... communist party. Now, who do you think they believe?
Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China (PRC) affects both publishing and viewing online material. As of 2019 more than sixty online restrictions had been created by the Government of China and implemented by provincial branches of state-owned ISPs, companies and organizations.[1][2][anachronism]
According to CNN, China's Internet censorship is more extensive and advanced than that in any other country in the world.[3] The Chinese government blocks website content and monitors individuals' Internet access.[4] As required by the Chinese government, major internet platforms and messaging services in China established elaborate self-censorship mechanisms. Some have hired teams of thousands to police content and invested in powerful AI algorithms.[5]
Many controversial events are prohibited from news coverage, preventing many Chinese citizens from knowing of their government's actions. Such measures inspired the policy's nickname, "The Great Firewall of China."
Methods used to block websites and pages including DNS spoofing, blocking access to IP addresses, analyzing and filtering URLs, packet inspection, and resetting connections.[6]
Amnesty International notes that China has "the largest recorded number of imprisoned journalists and cyber-dissidents in the world"[7] and Paris-based Reporters Without Borders stated in 2010 and 2012 that "China is the world's biggest prison for netizens."[8][9] Commonly alleged user offenses include communicating with groups abroad, signing online petitions, and calling for government reform. The government has escalated its efforts to neutralize coverage and commentary that is critical of the regime after a series of large anti-pollution and anti-corruption protests. Many of these protests as well as ethnic riots were organized or publicized using instant messaging services, chat rooms, and text messages.[10] China's internet police force was reported by state media to be 2 million strong in 2013.[11]
Carrie Gracie wrote that local Chinese businesses such as Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba, which are some of the world's largest Internet enterprises, benefited from the way China restricted international rivals in the market.[12]

Sen. Kamala Harris acknowledges that a 2010 state truancy law she sponsored resulted in some parents being jailed. But she misleadingly claims that jailing parents was an “unintended consequence” of the law.
In fact, the law added Section 270.1 to the California Penal Code to allow prosecutors to fine and/or jail a parent “who has failed to reasonably supervise and encourage the pupil’s school attendance.” Under the law, which was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sept. 30, 2010, a parent could face up to a year in jail and $2,000 fine. The law took effect in 2011.
Harris, a Democratic candidate for president, was San Francisco District Attorney from 2004 to 2011. As district attorney, she launched a three-stage program to lower the San Francisco United School District’s truancy rates in 2006. If the first two stages — education and intervention — failed, then parents could be prosecuted.
“Parents of truant children who do not change course in Stage 2 are subject to prosecution,” the district attorney’s office said in a brochure that describes the initiative. “Parents must report to a specialized Truancy Court we created that combines close court monitoring with tailored family services. We have SFUSD and Children and Family Services on hand to resolve underlying issues such as transportation, unstable housing, substance abuse, mental health, neglect or unresolved special education needs. Parents who are continually reluctant to send their children to school are subject to fine or imprisonment.”
The brochure said that 20 parents in San Francisco were prosecuted for truancy in 2008. We don’t know how many were prosecuted in all, but the Los Angeles Times writes that no one was jailed. “Harris issued citations to parents whose children missed more than 50 days of school, but none of them were put in jail,” the Los Angeles Times wrote in an April 17 story.
However, as the San Francisco District Attorney, Harris sponsored a state Senate bill — SB 1317 — that was introduced by state Sen. Mark Leno, who is also from San Francisco. The state bill was modeled on her truancy initiative in San Francisco, and did result in some parents being jailed.

While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Chinese government was busy arresting the editor of the pro-democracy Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily. That arrest came on the heels of the arrest of one of Apple Daily’s columnists for “conspiring to collude with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security.”
While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Taliban was busy spreading like a metastasizing cancer over Afghanistan, preparing its new subjects for the tender mercies of brutal Islamist rule.
While Berry was protesting the national anthem during an event at which she threw heavy objects for sport, billions of people were living in absolute privation the world over.
None of this means that the shortcomings of America should be ignored. But to protest the flag or the national anthem as particular symbols of grievance is to demonstrate full-scale your own ignorance and ingratitude.
“I’m here to represent those who died due to systemic racism,” Berry said. But she herself is an excellent indicator of just how much promise America holds for its citizens.
She grew up in the home of her grandmother, with 13 people in the house; she had a baby out of wedlock at 15 and then earned a college scholarship. She got two jobs and helped support her extended family. Now, she’s going to the Olympics. And presumably, there, she will turn her back on the flag and the national anthem if she makes it to the podium.
In doing so, she’ll become a hero to millions. She’ll get richer; she’ll get more famous. Perhaps, like pseudo-Marxist Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter, she’ll buy herself a few houses; maybe, like Kaepernick, she’ll make the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Like self-declared Marxist Cullors, who currently owns three separate houses worth over $1.5 million each, Berry is in it for the attention and the profit. Yesterday, nobody had heard of her. Today, everybody has. It’s that simple.
One thing is certain, however: Those who spend their days championing their own ingratitude at a society that gives them extraordinary opportunities—opportunities unavailable to nearly all humans for nearly all of human history, and unavailable to most people on the planet right now—aren’t likely to live happier lives. And they’re unlikely to make their nations better, either.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@aj3314 You know, I think racism is a good thing! Don't Japanese mothers want their daughter to have a Japanese baby? A Mexican father wants his daughter to marry a nice Mexican boy. But if a white insists on working with, marrying, or choosing to associate with other whites, then all of a sudden THEY are racists? Doesn't make sense. Diversity has been a calamity. Italians like living with Italians. Jews with Jews. It's only when whites want only white neighbors, that all of a sudden we have a sin? A problem? Blacks even feel more comfortable among other blacks. I could care less about Muslims. But, when we have Muslims preaching that they should KILL Jews, then yes we have a problem. Now with that said....learn about the Koran, you'll discover that to be a GOOD and FAITHFUL Muslim, you must kill the non believers.
Thankfully, most Muslims don't follow the EXACT dictates of Islam, just as not all Jews follow the Talmud in all of its rules. Islam was spread by violence. Christianity by forgiveness. Judaism by birth. If one person "offends" another's religion, you get a gasp! But, if one person offends Islam, a riot ensues! So, if you want diversity....move into a Muslim neighborhood. Me? I'm a racist!

@zazzyboy8592 No, I don't hate Muslims. I pity them. I don't hate the Iranians, I just feel sorry that their country has been taken over by a lunatic. Islam is doomed. Why? Because it is a religion of hate, retribution, and revenge. I'm not a Christian, but I know that they are a religion of Peace, forgiveness, and acceptance. Now, just to show you that there's no hard feelings, and that even as a woman, I could still kick your azz.. I want to leave you with a small gift. Two.. in fact...
First.. visit the religion of Peace dot com and there you will find what Islam TRULY brings to the world.
Second.. Study the words of the Apostate prophet here on YouTube and it will help to clear the filth from your lips and your soul, before it is too late.

@JanBruunAndersen Well, I'm American so for me, our dollar is the most stable. Ask yourself, why do you own it? For appreciation? For secrecy? In case of a total economic meltdown? Then, evaluate how well that serves your purpose. To me, it's a Ponzi scheme where the early adopters came out as the big winners. Only TWO people recommend it. Those that sell it, and those that already own it. That removes the appreciation side. I have no need of secrecy, since I break no laws, and finally in case of total economic meltdown, I'd prefer being in food instead of Bitcoin. In uncertain times, I see stability as being paramount, and with that I'll keep my powder dry in the USA dollar, waiting to lock in a higher return with Treasury bonds. If those bonds ever crash, there will be more important things to worry about, more like tonight's dinner.

@bigboyart1 Well, let's examine that statement of yours. You say "most" and indicate that they're not Republican, so I take it that you mean who? Democrats? But, they have soundly rejected him. TWICE. Despite his starry eyed puppets rigging the online polls, and setting up monthly "small donations" of just a few dollars, so they could fudge the number of "small donors" that they claim support him, and even though he rarely scheduled his rallies outside of college towns, and even then only drawing a few thousand people, (while Trump drew tens of thousands) He still couldn't beat his primary opponents. In fact, the Democrats kept their primary debate out of prime time for that fact alone.... to hide the old Bolsheviks radical policies. Unions across the country refused to even consider him. Are they not intelligent? People of faith, rejected him and his murderous and cruel abortion policies, are they not intelligent as well? No... faked on-line polls, bands of zealous pre planned cheering, and phony "small donor" numbers don't win elections. What DOES win elections are a political machine that stops at nothing to fix an election by changing the rules, allowing fake mail in ballots, conducting "trumped" up phony Russian collusion investigations, lying, cheating, and stealing of elections by outright making false promises to buy votes. That's what wins elections, and that's why a mentally impaired puppet was hidden in a basement and kept from the questions, (as he's being kept in hiding now) so that the INTELLIGENT voters would be duped into voting for him. Bernie would melt quickly under the light of exposure for his Marxist past, and socialist (aka Chavez and Maduro) policies, which were never exposed by those same Democrats that desperately needed his loony supporters in order to beat Trump. No, I don't think you can claim that intelligent people support Bernie. Maybe cunning, manipulative, starry eyed, gullible, easily swayed by false premises, yes. But, not intelligent people outside of college dreamers that THINK they are intelligent and THINK that they have the answers to all the worlds problems. Intelligent people don't vote for Marxists.

@jonathanbalderas1722 Yeah... get with the times!!!.... Released two weeks ago, the Census Bureau’s report on “Income and Poverty in the United States” for 2019 clearly shows that, pre-pandemic, President Trump’s economic success blew past that of any other presidency.
First, the Census Bureau reported that real median household income grew to $68,703 in 2019, an impressive 6.8% increase over 2018. It was the largest one-year increase in median income on record going back to 1967. It was also 45 percent more growth in a single year ($4,379) than Obama/Biden produced in their entire 8 years in office ($3,021).
As was the case throughout Trump’s first three years, the economic benefits were widespread. While the overall growth rate was 6.8%, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for Black Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6% for Asian Americans. All record highs as were the new income levels for each of these groups.

IS THIS ANTI CHINA TOO?
China in the last few years without shooting a single bullet has grabbed more land than the British Empire’s “East India Company”. Tibet is conceivably China’s most certain land grab that enforced the claim on the Himalayan nation and consolidated it with its territory where after Tibet’s spiritual head, Dalai Lama and his followers were forced to flee to India during the “1959 Tibet Uprising”. Recently as per the news reports, China has illegally occupied Nepal’s land in various places. It has annexed 150 hectares and the Nepalese politicians have asserted that the expansions of their land are presently the start of the increased Chinese bellicosity along the frontier. As per the UK-based Telegraph, the Chinese purportedly started grabbing Nepali land in five frontier regions in May 2020 by assigning members of its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) over unguarded sections of the frontier. In the Russian city of Vladivostok, China is claiming ownership of the city that previously belonged to the Qing dynasty. But after China lost in the second opium war, Vladivostok was returned following an agreement it signed in 1860 that states that the city legitimately belonged to Russia. However, China often rejects any agreement that isn’t acceptable to its demands.
China has also been claiming that Central Asian nations like Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have been part of China. It is intending to intensify in establishing military underpinnings across Central Asia, which is a cause of concern. China has claimed the whole Kyrgyzstan region to be a part of China. In 1999, China pushed Kyrgyzstan to return over 1,250 square km of land. China likewise has a continuing conflict with Tajikistan that record back to 1884. China in Tajikistan has been claiming the Pamir region. China has also hugely penetrated Africa and has large unresolved problems in Hong Kong and Taiwan. As part of its ‘One China policy’, it has been claiming Taiwan and has freshly pressed a security law in Hong Kong.
Africa is seen as the principal victim of this new Chinese global abuse drive. Chinese intrusion into Africa has been portrayed as an “African land grab” and a “New scramble for Africa”. Being Africa’s biggest trading ally and creditor, China, has interests in minerals and oil and looks to be one of the more natural “neocolonialists” of African agriculture. The Chinese interest in African rhinoceros tusk, ivory, abalone and materials from other threatened species has likewise taken an important toll on preservation efforts. As per the International Food Policy Research Institute and at Johns Hopkins University, Chinese firms have claimed to have gained or settled high amounts of African farmland.
The South China Sea viewed, as one of the world’s most significant maritime trade routes is a core hub for all geographical and international economic movement, promoting yearlong trade worth trillions of dollars. China here has been aggressively involved in the ‘sea grab’ by renaming of many islands, reefs, seamounts, shoals, and ridges that has sparked furious accusations by the affected nations and worldwide revulsion. In the East China Sea, China is at loggerheads with South Korea, Japan and North Korea. With the Senkaku and Ryu Kya islands being a critical bilateral issue, China is entangled in a land wrangle with Japan. In South Korea, China claims islands in the nation’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the whole of South Korea on a historical basis. Both also have a conflict over Socotra Rock in the East China Sea. In North Korea, China has an ongoing conflict over Mount Baekdu and the Tuman River. In the Philippines, China still claims portions of the Spratly islands despite the International Court of Justice (ICJ) dismissing China’s claims. In Vietnam and Laos, China claims large areas on historical criterion (Ming dynasty and Yuan dynasty respectively). It’s also caught up with Vietnam concerning the Paracel Islands, Macclesfield Bank, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands. A few months ago, China sank a Vietnamese fishing trawler near the Paracel Islands inviting criticism from many countries. In Indonesia, China demands fishing rights in waters near the nation’s islands. In Brunei and Malaysia, China claims the Spratly Islands. In Cambodia, China has claimed parts again on historical precedent. In Thailand, China has been eyeing the Mekong River since 2001. In Mongolia, China claims the whole country on a historical basis (Yuan Dynasty). In Singapore, parts of the South China Sea are being challenged by China and Singapore.
Through the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project and the enormous loans that have been dispensed to its all-weather friend ‘Pakistan’, China has turned Pakistan into a thrall land. The latest reports of the Chinese funded Diamer-Basha Dam in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) have become an environmental catastrophe in the making. Pakistan government is also trying to hand over the Karoonjhar Mountains and Sindh islands of Buddhoo and Bundalon for the CPEC project on the demand of the Chinese government, without taking permission of the people of Sindh or its government. Scholars and experts believe that Pakistan in the next few years is set to become a colony of China if it continues ceding its land to China. The red dragon has been at daggers drawn with India over the Ladakh boundary issue and has been attempting to change the ‘status quo’ with India that led to the loss of many Indian soldiers a few months ago. China is also staking claim to large tracts of Arunachal Pradesh (Indian state) to be a contiguous part of Tibet, due to its refusal to accept the McMohan Line as the border between the two nations. China has also been on a border dispute with Bhutan since 1986 and claims large parts of easterly Bhutan areas like Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar, Gesur etc. The 2017 Doklam issue showed how China tried to build a road in Bhutan’s territory and the Indian Army stepped in to help its ally. The port of Hambantota, that has attracted the world media attention of Sri Lankan government’s 99-year contract to the Chinese state-owned company, China Merchants Group (CMG) has been viewed by international observers as a ‘debt trap’ and ‘land grab’ by China.
In Myanmar, there have been many reports and complaints from locals related to human rights breaches, accusations of land grab and environmental destruction due to land procurement and industrial ventures by Chinese firms. Also, Myanmar has alleged that ‘China’ is arming a rebel group, the Arakan army, with advanced military technology displaying China’s aggressive character in arming insurgent groups. China through its investment ventures has likewise attempted to land grab in the Maldives that could be turned into military posts, which could destabilize the Indian Ocean region, and be pernicious to Indian defence and security. China is also making its way to the Pacific island nations of Kiribati, Solomon Islands and so on, which has brought the U.S.-China ties under considerable strain. China is also one of the main countries in acquiring land in Argentina, Latin America, and Colombia in which its stake is concentrated. China has been trying to expand its Arctic footprint and has also carried out undeclared military activities in Antarctica, by instituting a position for territorial claim, involving in minerals research.
Post-pandemic, China has been experiencing a food crisis for its huge population, slumping demand for its manufactured products and disappointment due to the fractured Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects where it has invested trillions of dollars. The Telegraph has stated that China has sought a more hawkish foreign policy under President Xi Jinping whose BRI projects beam to create trade and transport connections from the nation beyond Asia and toward Europe. Apart from the land grab, China is also trying to gain controlling stakes in firms globally. China, which is aspiring to be accepted as a modern superpower has got entangled in military and political disputes, in migration and government matters because of acquiring land and is trying to establish diplomatic connections with many countries. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, from the South China Sea to its South and Central Asian neighbors, Chinese territorial infringement has produced crevices in bilateral ties. China’s territorial grab, a conquest of brute coercion over laws, jeopardizes the vulnerability of the contemporary liberal world order.

@Branson Zhang These are a few of the hundreds that occur here in the United States and around the world.
Ji ChaoqunEdit
Ji Chaoqun, 27, a Chinese citizen residing in Chicago, was arrested in Chicago on September 25, 2018 for allegedly acting within the United States as an illegal agent of the People's Republic of China. Ji worked at the direction of a high-level intelligence officer in Jiangsu State Security Department (JSSD) of the Ministry of State Security (MSS) for the People's Republic of China, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Ji was tasked with providing the intelligence officer with biographical information on eight individuals for possible recruitment by the JSSD, the complaint states. The individuals included Chinese nationals who were working as engineers and scientists in the United States, some of whom were U.S. defense contractors, according to the complaint. He was formally indicted on January 24, 2019.[7][8]
Yanjun XuEdit
Yanjun Xu, also known as Qu Hui and Zhang Hui, was charged in October 2018 with conspiring and attempting to commit economic espionage and steal trade secrets from multiple U.S. aviation and aerospace companies. [9] Xu was arrested in Belgium in April 2018 following the filing of a criminal complaint against him in Cincinnati. [10] The United States has alleged that Xu is a deputy division director for the Ministry of State Security, and that Xu was engaged in espionage against GE Aviation. [10] Xu, a senior officer with China's Ministry of State Security (MSS), is accused of seeking to steal trade secrets from leading aviation firms, top Justice Department officials said. Xu recruited experts to travel to China, often under the guise of asking them to deliver a university presentation and passing himself off as an official with the Jiangsu Science and Technology Promotion Association. Xu often exchanged information with individuals at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, one of the top engineering schools in China, which has significant influence over the country's aerospace industry, according to court documents.
Xudong YaoEdit
Xudong Yao, also known as “William Yao,” 57, is a naturalized United States Citizen wanted for his alleged involvement in the theft of proprietary information from a locomotive manufacturer in Chicago, Illinois.[11] Yao is currently at large and believed to be residing in China.[12] On November 18, 2015, Yao traveled from China to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. At the time, he had in his possession the stolen trade secret information, including nine complete copies of the suburban Chicago company's control system source code and the systems specifications that explained how the code worked, the federal indictment states. Yao is charged with nine counts of theft of electronic files.[13]
Zhongsan LiuEdit
On September 16, 2019, Zhongsan Liu was arrested in Fort Lee, New Jersey by federal agents and charged with conspiracy to commit visa fraud for his involvement in a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain U.S. visas for Chinese government employees. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman stated: “As alleged Zhongsan Liu conspired to obtain research scholar visas fraudulently for people whose actual purpose was not research but recruitment. Rather than helping to bring students to the U.S., Liu allegedly conspired to defraud this country’s visa system to advance his efforts to attract U.S. experts to China. Thanks to the FBI, this alleged abuse of the visa system has been halted.”[14] Liu was released on bail and has not entered a formal plea.[15]
Zaosong ZhengEdit
In December 2019 Zaosong Zheng, a medical student from China, was arrested at Logan Airport for stealing 21 vials of biological research and attempting to smuggle them out of the United States aboard a flight destined for China. Zheng stated that he intended to bring the vials to China to use them to conduct research in his own laboratory and publish the results under his own name.[16] Zheng is charged with making false statements, visa fraud, acting as an agent of a foreign government, conspiracy, and smuggling goods from the United States. As of March 2020, Zheng is free on $100,000 bond.[17]

@briancousins3101 Sure it's long. Simple explanations are for simpletons. Any more complicated than echoing the party line, confuses them. Who says the Tibetan are happy watching their temples bulldozed, their monks arrested and beaten, their centuries long culture destroyed as they are abused by their new, Chinese overlords. The Communists say that this is to bring them "a better life", while they have Chinese on the mainland eating rat! With all their spending on building a third rate military (need a laugh? look at their aircraft carrier) they could be feeding their population instead of stealing fish from their neighbors and importing food from the rest of the world. Your lies and propaganda didn't work during the "great leap forward" and it's not working now.
HERE'S WHAT THE WORLD KNOWS EXCEPT USEFUL IDIOTS LIKE YOU..
Reported abuses of human rights in Tibet include restricted freedom of religion, belief, and association; arbitrary arrest; maltreatment in custody, including torture; and forced abortion and sterilization. The status of religion, mainly as it relates to figures who are both religious and political, such as the exile of the 14th Dalai Lama, is a regular object of criticism. Additionally, freedom of the press in China is absent, with Tibet's media tightly controlled by the Chinese leadership,[2] making it difficult to accurately determine the scope of human rights abuses.[3]
According to a 1992 Amnesty International report (unverified figures), judicial standards in China, including in autonomous Tibet, were not up to "international standards". The report charged the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)[4] government with keeping political prisoners and prisoners of conscience; ill-treatment of detainees, including torture, and inaction in the face of ill-treatment; the use of the death penalty; extrajudicial executions;[4][5] and forced abortion and sterilization[6][7] and even infanticide.[6] A 2020 Reuters report stated that 15 percent of Tibet's population is part of a mass labor program that human rights groups have deemed coercive.[8] Critics of the CCP say that its official aim to eliminate "the three evils of separatism, terrorism and religious extremism" is used as a pretext for human rights abuses.[9]

@vchanpe1 So let me educate you in how things REALLY work. Workers have retirement matching plans called IRA's and SIP's, and 401K's that they invest in every payday. UNIONS take member dues and invest in the stock market as well. ONLY those that invest share in the profit of corporations. WHAT IS a Corporation except for a group of people? REGULAR PEOPLE that have taken their money and invested in a venture (to make cars, drugs, dog food, etc..) The MORE you invest, the MORE you make. OF COURSE those that are rich, get richer, but they ALSO get poorer if the corporation FAILS and investors lose money. But, no one forces you to invest in corporations. You can invest in wheat! You can invest in property. FREEDOM to invest where you want, unlike China where the Communists own all the land. You can even invest in a college education that pays "dividends" for the rest of your life. And no, there is no partnership between the corporation and government. Government sets rules and regulations, but they can not tell the corporation how to run its business or to interfere in it. UNLIKE IN CHINA where they must kow-tow to the Communist party bosses. The key thing to understand is that we have FREEDOM and CHOICE either to participate or not. In fact, you can start your OWN corporation if you think they are not fair. Remember this.. The inherent problem with Capitalism is the uneven distribution of wealth, but the inherent problem with Communism is the even distribution of misery.

Now, as to IP theft. I'm not talking about China DEMANDING that in order to do business in China, a foreign company must be the MINORITY OWNER. The Chinese retain at a minimum 51%. Also, they are forced to turn over for inspection all information on manufacturing, business plans, patents, and trade secrets to the Communists.. JUST TO DO BUSINESS. Now, after they allow a few years of watching how things are done, the bullying, boycott s, and unlawful (at least in the civilized world) competition begins with all the stolen information that I mentioned now in their hands. Meanwhile, the intellectual property of those ON THE USA are hacked into and stolen in order to produce cheap knock offs for sale around the world, all without a penny of research and development costs, worker safety standards, fair wages, or pollution control. THAT'S how they sell cheap and destroy the other countries business. Take them to court in China is a joke. No justice for any foreigner, and in the USA the judgment is ignored as the thieving Chinese vanish and then resume under another name. Decades have passed as the USA and other countries have held out hope that the Communists would REFORM and adjust their criminal behavior, to no avail. Now the US government is finally taking action that is increasing every day. Citizens are slowly refusing to buy "made in China" Next other actions will be brought to bear against the Communists. The, whole world wants justice for their crimes.

@vchanpe1 You have to GET THE FACTS before your lips move.
In January, the Financial Times released an astounding write-up on “[h]undreds of thousands of Taiwanese enterprises” who were leaving China due to “rising costs and trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.” According to FT analysts, the unexpected turn “reverses decades of investment” by Taiwanese firms. Last month, Delta Electronics, a major Taiwanese producer of electronic components for Apple and Tesla, told FT it planned to reduce its Chinese labor force “by 90 percent,” and that “even without the US-China conflict, China is no longer a good place for manufacturing.” Company executives cited growing wages and a high staff “turnover rate” as primary reasons.In December 2020, Asia Times said Japanese manufacturers, too, were “beat[ing] a path out of China” in a “[t]rend” that had accelerated after Tokyo gave incentives to encourage firms to leave. National security concerns about over-dependence on China in Japan’s supply chains had emerged during the coronavirus pandemic when production was disrupted by lockdowns and shortages. Billions of yen (JP¥) in subsidies have been set aside for Japanese firms who are willing to leave China for places, like, Bangladesh and South East Asia.
A June 2019 report from Nikkei Asian Review also revealed that “South Korean corporate giants . . . [were] moving production out of China” in a “Samsung-led exodus.” One source told Nikkei that the companies had “held out [that] long to avoid giving the Chinese government a bad impression, but …they [couldn’t] take it anymore.”
Finally, in February 2020, Bank of America announced the results of its survey of “equity analysts covering more than 3,000 companies globally,” which found that “[c]ompanies in two-thirds of global sectors in North America have either implemented or announced plans to pull at least a portion of their supply chains out of China, while companies in 50 percent of country-sectors in the Asia Pacific (ex-China) region [were] doing likewise.”

@vchanpe1 Since you don't seem able to read and understand English, let me explain it to you in Chinese....

TWO THIRDS ARE LEAVING. UNDERSTAND THAT?? Does that explain "why they are still in China"??
Did you learn mathematics as a child? Two thirds have plans to leave, and that's just the North American companies. WE BUY FROM MEXICO, TAIWAN, INDIA, VIETNAM, and MALAYSIA.. We say "GOODBYE CHINA".

@vchanpe1 YES, LET'S LOOK UP LOTS OF THINGS VICTOR CHAN..
Chinese people, by working extremely hard, lifted themselves out of poverty - in part because some of the stupidest economic policies ever created, by Chairman Mao, were abandoned in favour of versions of capitalism."
Mao Zedong, who founded the People's Republic of China in 1949, oversaw attempts to industrialise the country's peasant economy in the 1950s. His disastrous Great Leap Forward, which began in 1958, forced farmers into communes, leading to mass starvation in the countryside.
While China has made substantial work of tackling the deepest poverty first, should it be holding itself to a higher standard?
And there is widespread income inequality. Last year, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said China still had 600 million people whose monthly income was barely 1,000 yuan ($154)
He said that was not enough to rent a room in a city.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.’
-Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945

Yes! Imagine why people would hate the Communists!!
The Cambodian genocide (Khmer: អំពើប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍កម្ពុជា, Âmpeu Prâlai Puchsas Kămpŭchéa) was the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Communist Party of Kampuchea general secretary Pol Pot, who radically pushed Cambodia towards an entirely self-sufficient agrarian socialist society. It resulted in the deaths of 1.5 to 2 million people from 1975 to 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia's 1975 population (c. 7.8 million).[1][2][3]
Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge had long been supported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and CCP Chairman Mao Zedong;[4][5][6][7][8][9] it is estimated that at least 90% of the foreign aid which the Khmer Rouge received came from China, and in 1975 alone, at least US$1 billion in interest-free economic and military aid came from China.[9][10][11] After it seized power in April 1975, the Khmer Rouge wanted to turn the country into an agrarian socialist republic, founded on the policies of ultra-Maoism and influenced by the Cultural Revolution.[4][6][12][13][14] Pol Pot and other Khmer Rouge officials met with Mao in Beijing in June 1975, receiving approval and advice, while high-ranking CCP officials such as CCP Politburo Standing Committee member Zhang Chunqiao later visited Cambodia to offer help.[4][6][8][15] To fulfill its goals, the Khmer Rouge emptied the cities and forced Cambodians to relocate to labor camps in the countryside, where mass executions, forced labor, physical abuse, malnutrition, and disease were rampant.[16][17] In 1976, the Khmer Rouge renamed the country Democratic Kampuchea.
The massacres ended when the Vietnamese military invaded in 1978 and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. By January 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people had died due to the Khmer Rouge's policies, including 200,000–300,000 Chinese Cambodians, 90,000 Muslims, and 20,000 Vietnamese Cambodians.[18][19] 20,000 people passed through the Security Prison 21, one of the 196 prisons the Khmer Rouge operated,[3][20] and only seven adults survived.[21] The prisoners were taken to the Killing Fields, where they were executed (often with pickaxes, to save bullets)[22] and buried in mass graves. Abduction and indoctrination of children was widespread, and many were persuaded or forced to commit atrocities.[23] As of 2009, the Documentation Center of Cambodia has mapped 23,745 mass graves containing approximately 1.3 million suspected victims of execution. Direct execution is believed to account for up to 60% of the genocide's death toll,[24] with other victims succumbing to starvation, exhaustion, or disease.

@kckoay5562 It's very easy. Type in "China USA war" into YouTube and take your pick. They can't ALL be non credible can they? Here's just one alone... While recent years have witnessed a tremendous Chinese propaganda effort aimed at convincing the world that the PRC is a serious military player that is owed respect, outsiders often forget that China does not even have a professional military. The PLA, unlike the armed forces of the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other regional heavyweights, is by definition not a professional fighting force. Rather, it is a “party army,” the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Indeed, all career officers in the PLA are members of the CCP and all units at the company level and above have political officers assigned to enforce party control. Likewise, all important decisions in the PLA are made by Communist Party committees that are dominated by political officers, not by operators.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Randy H deal with Iran? Apparently so far as to derail an anti-drug trafficking effort waged by Hezbollah.
Project Cassandra began in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration was convinced that Hezbollah was amassing $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and more. Operating out of Chantilly, VA, agents went undercover to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks and follow cocaine shipments.
The project got in the way of the Obama administration's nuclear agreement, new reports suggest.
But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

Here's what's next...
With the mainstream media still obsessing about the Jan. 6 "violent coup attempt" at the U.S. Capitol Building, the incoming Biden administration looks to be chock full of actual purveyors of violent coups.
Don’t look to the mainstream media to report on this, however.
Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas.
In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died.
Take returning Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, for example.
More than anyone else she is the face of the U.S.-led violent coup against a democratically-elected government in Ukraine in 2014.
Nuland not only passed out snacks to the coup leaders, she was caught on a phone call actually plotting the coup right down to who would take power once the smoke cleared.
Unlike the fake Capitol "coup," this was a real overthrow.
Unlike the buffalo horn-wearing joke who desecrated the "sacred" Senate chamber, the Ukraine coup had real armed insurrectionists with a real plan to overthrow the government.
Eventually, with the help of incoming Assistant Secretary of State Nuland, they succeeded - after thousands of civilians were killed.
As we were unfortunately reminded during the last four years of the Trump administration, the personnel is the policy. So while President Trump railed against the "stupid wars" and promised to bring the troops home, he hired people like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo to get the job done. They spent their time "clarifying" Trump’s call for ending wars to mean he wanted to actually continue the wars. It was a colossal failure.
So it’s hard to be optimistic about a Biden administration with so many hyper-interventionist Obama retreads.
While the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) likes to sell itself as the compassionate arm of the US foreign policy, in fact USAID is one of the main U.S. "regime change" agencies. Biden has announced that a top "humanitarian interventionist" – Samantha Power — would head that Agency in his Administration.
Power, who served on President Obama’s National Security Council staff and as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., argued passionately and successfully that a U.S. attack on the Gaddafi government in Libya would result in a liberation of the people and the outbreak of democracy in the country.
In reality, her justification was all based on lies and the U.S. assault has left nothing but murder and mayhem. Gaddafi’s relatively peaceful, if authoritarian, government has been replaced by radical terrorists and even slave markets.
At the end of the day, the Bush Republicans — like Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., – will join hands with the Biden Democrats to reinstate "American leadership."
This of course means more U.S. overt and covert wars overseas.
The unholy alliance between Big Tech and the U.S. government will happily assist the U.S. State Department under Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Assistant Secretary of State Nuland with the technology to foment more "regime change" operations wherever the Biden administration sees fit.
Finish destroying Syria and the secular Assad?
Sure. Go back into Iraq? Why not? Afghanistan?
That’s the good war. And Russia and China must be punished as well.
These are grave moments for we non-interventionists.
But also we have a unique opportunity, informed by history, to denounce the warmongers and push for a peaceful and non-interventionist foreign policy.

Every aspect of Tibetan life is under siege.
Tibetans have even fewer civil and political rights than Chinese people also ruled by the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese government enforces its control on Tibet through the threat and use of arbitrary detentions and punishments, at times including severe violence. Any act deemed to threaten its rule can be made a criminal offence.
Here are just some of the challenges faced by Tibetans as a result of China's occupation:
POLITICAL OPPRESSION AND VIOLENCE
Tibetans face intense surveillance in their daily lives, with security cameras, police checkpoints and party officials monitoring their movements and activities.
Peaceful protests are suppressed with severe violence. Protesters are imprisoned, tortured and may even be shot.
China has repeatedly violated UN conventions through extensive use of torture against Tibetan political prisoners.
Prisons in Tibet are full of people detained for simply expressing their desire for freedom. They are arrested and convicted for peaceful acts, such as waving the Tibetan flag, calling for the return of the Dalai Lama and sending information about events in Tibet abroad.
Many Tibetans are imprisoned on unclear or unspecified charges, their families not informed of their whereabouts. They are denied access to proper legal support and face trials that do not respect international standards of justice.
Tibetans charged with "separatism" (acts intended to divide or damage the Chinese state) can face sentences up to and including the death penalty.
Even children face abuses of their freedom and human rights. The Tibetan flag and national anthem are banned.
Tibetan Buddhism is seen as a threat to the occupying Chinese state and possessing Dalai Lama images or teachings can result in imprisonment and torture.
Chinese officials closely monitor and control religious activity at monasteries and nunneries.
Since 2016, Larung Gar – the biggest Buddhist institute in Tibet, and indeed in the world – has been the target of a major assault. Thousands of individuals have been evicted and thousands of homes demolished – and these removals continue today.
Writers, singers, artists and teachers are jailed for celebrating Tibetan national identity and for any criticism of China's rule.
Chinese is the language of schooling and business, disadvantaging Tibetans and threatening their mother tongue

@77Cardinal Who can call him up and say you owe me a favor?? ANYBODY!! Isn't that what politics is all about? If he was interested in making more money, he wouldn't have ran for office! The animals on the left have done everything they could in order to ruin his businesses, and that INCLUDES his daughters business as well! He even donates his paycheck to worthy causes, ever since being elected. Now... since the ACTUAL PROOF has come out that the charges that were drummed up against him, were FALSE and had no basis in fact (after a three year investigation) has any attempt been made to REMOVE his impeachment? Why not? I would urge Trump not to cooperate on ANYTHING that democrats want. Give them nothing, and make life as difficult as possible for them in Congress. The days of being civil are over. We see the riots, destruction, and lawlessness that Democrats have turned a blind eye towards, and placating them is a useless strategy. If it calls for a civil war to remove the Demon rats, I and millions of others would support it. The time for debate, and compromise is over.

rise up? fight?? For WHAT? Come out of your coma long enough to pay attention for the next minute......
The very poorest people in the USA live better than 2/3 of the people on the planet. A real problem, or so the freaks say that we have here in the USA, is that 1) we are too fat 2) we waste food. Next, people spend approx 13% of their income on food. This is the cheapest in the world. People can live in a camper, apartment, or mini house. The homeless are almost exclusively from Democrat controlled cities in Democrat controlled states. Finally, Senior Citizens today are the RICHEST of any generation before them, adjusted for inflation. Hardly sounds like a formula for an uprising, now does it? Before the virus, we HAD the lowest black, Latino, women, and youth unemployment IN HISTORY. Don't count on a riot anytime soon. That is unless the Democrats win in November. Then all bets are off.

Bernie is an enemy of the people. They explore, search, find, drill, pump, contain, transport, refine, store, transport, and meter out ONE GALLON of gasoline. With that gallon, I transport myself, wife, dog, groceries, in comfort hot and cold, in safety, for ten cents a mile. If this is greed, then mankind needs more greed. Will you ealj for ten cents a mile! Tell Bolshevik Bernie to take a hike.

@ajazasharaf7865 We are having a party! Everyone can stay home and get unemployment money $600 per week. Then, EVERY person gets $1200 each. $2400 per couple, and $500 for each child. So, People are getting the virus, SO WHAT? It only kills less than 3%, and even they are old people over 60. But, we've got food delivery, alcohol, wonderful television, and Internet. Sleep in everyday. It's like a paid vacation!! We just love our President more than ever! No wonder the world is trying to move here to the USA!! When it's over, the Chinese communists WILL PAY for their virus. Already, plans are being made to keep the bonds they own.

There is ONLY ONE answer to the vast majority of our problems, and that's ENERGY. And the answer to cheap energy is nuclear. Carbon free, unlimited, safe, and potentially widely available except for ONE PROBLEM and that's the environmentalists that monkey wrench every attempt to build nuclear power plants with endless lawsuits, threats, and intimidation. Cheap power solves a myriad of problems that face society. Desalination, greenhouse crops, cheap housing, cheap transportation, and the list goes on and on.

@MiguelLopez-sk1pf NUMBER ONE.. YOU'RE WRONG!! No one, nowhere, at no time said anything about gloves or medical waste. YOU MADE THAT UP.. And you are lying as Bernie freaks ALWAYS DO. Here's what it DID SAY if you read the article..
This past August, Vermont activists were visited by a delegation of long-time antinuclear activists from West Texas, three of whom spent ten days touring Vermont and meeting with both activists and public officials. They testified at the State House, and before the State Nuclear Advisory Panel. They participated in a five day walk for the abolition of nuclear weapons, met with Rep. Sanders, one of the compact’s leading proponents, and spent a few days at an antinuclear activist camp in southern Vermont. On August 22, they were joined by two Sierra Blanca residents, who spoke at a large antinuclear rally in the southern Vermont town of Brattleboro.
NOW READ THIS AND STOP THE BS

@debrac3391 We'll, we'll just have to disagree. Again the "message of Jesus" was NOT to take from one to give to another. His message was that "God loves a cheerful giver" and when you give to not let your left hand know what the right has given. Now pay attention..... If giving a hand out to the poor solved poverty, then the war on poverty would have been won decades ago. Hand outs are not the solution. Hands UP is. This is the land of OPPORTUNITY, not the land of FREE benefits paid by "the wealthy".. (which will eventually be anyone with money) Finally, I DO know history. I can show you clearly how every attempt at your socialist utopia has led to disaster. How Nordic countries are going broke and their prior Capitalist gains are being depleted. I just don't understand why millions of people are FLEEING these socialist countries in order to come here for (sexism, racism, homophobia, chauvinism, wealth inequality, fleecing of the poor, inequality, and all the other nonsense that this Bolshevik is trying to sell, while NOBODY is leaving for greener pastures!! Think what you want. Just pray that this con man NEVER gets to the white house. The damage he will cause will take decades to repair. You'll still be blaming Trump.

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

Bon Appetit You're losing your mind. Tesla is in business ONLY because of government subsidies!! Gates was a robber baron that had to be taken to court for ANTI TRUST! And where are those billions going to that the UNITED STATES afforded him through tax advantages that the working man NEVER sees? AFRICA! That's where. Instead of spending that money here, it goes to third world shitholes through his foundation. Trump has put more people to work in 18 months than Gates did in his entire career!! BY FAR more black people are employed because of Trump than Google, Tesla, and Apple COMBINED! Apple isn't hiring black people! It was ANDROID that brought you your smart phone, not Apple. Now "Trump is doing everything for himself" How can you say such idiotic statements? DOING WHAT FOR HIMSELF?? He doesn't even accept his salary, and his net worth has fallen by a THIRD since he took office! More jobs, better economy, lower taxes, less illegal aliens, far less ISIS, lower regulation, rising wages, higher stock market, better Veterans care... The list goes on and on.. These are FACTS. Not baseless allegations! Any failure he's had in office is because of the Democraps. Not ONE voted in support of ANYTHING he proposed because they want him to FAIL! Just so they can regain power.

@kyh6767 No, it depreciates WORSE than what I said. The very BEST at holding its value is Honda, and THEY lose 50% after four years. HERE..
Kelley Blue Book says the estimated average transaction price for a light-duty vehicle in the U.S. now stands at $38,259. The average vehicle drops 49.6 of its original value after five years, which translates into nearly a $19,000 loss. And at that, the more expensive the vehicle, the more important this critical ownership cost becomes over time, simply because there’s more money at stake to lose. A five percent difference in depreciation over five years between competing $70,000 cars would represent a $3,500 return at trade-in time, assuming both cars are kept in good condition with average mileage.

@Eli_dmitkor Cyberwarfare by Russia includes denial of service attacks, hacker attacks, dissemination of disinformation and propaganda, participation of state-sponsored teams in political blogs, internet surveillance using SORM technology, persecution of cyber-dissidents and other active measures.[1] According to investigative journalist Andrei Soldatov, some of these activities were coordinated by the Russian signals intelligence, which was part of the FSB and formerly a part of the 16th KGB department.[2] An analysis by the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2017 outlines Russia's view of "Information Countermeasures" or IPb (informatsionnoye protivoborstvo) as "strategically decisive and critically important to control its domestic populace and influence adversary states", dividing 'Information Countermeasures' into two categories of "Informational-Technical" and "Informational-Psychological" groups. The former encompasses network operations relating to defense, attack, and exploitation and the latter to "attempts to change people's behavior or beliefs in favor of Russian governmental objectives."[3]

Here's today's communists in OUR country......
It is one of history’s greatest ironies: No segment of society punishes the poor more than those who champion their cause. This is true historically in nations claimed by Marxism, and in democratic nations today claimed by liberalism. Rhetoric aside, the left always screws the poor. The latest Marxist to do so, in a democratic country no less, is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
De Blasio recently announced that the way to help the poor do better in school is to hike taxes on the rich. He said “our mission is to redistribute wealth” and to close the “COVID achievement gap.”
The man is clueless. Owing to absurdly high taxes, the rich are leaving New York in droves; taxing them at an even higher rate will only encourage more to leave. They are taking their tax contributions and their jobs with them.
Moreover, fleecing the rich will do absolutely nothing to enhance academic achievement. We have known for decades that there is no correlation between spending on students per capita and academic achievement. Of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, D.C. is #1 in spending per student and #51 in academic achievement.
What makes for student success is the family, not the schools. Asians are “people of color,” yet they have no problem succeeding in school. That’s because, unlike African Americans, the typical Asian family has a father and a mother at home.
So the “color” argument that de Blasio favors—structural racism is holding blacks back—is completely false. Black kids from two-parent families are not failing in school. The real issue is the family, not race.
That said, it is not as though schools don’t matter at all, it’s just that they are of secondary importance. If de Blasio really wanted poor kids to succeed in school, he would spend money on charter schools, provide scholarships to private schools, endorse school choice, and allow the poor to enroll in Catholic schools. Instead, he fights every initiative that works. To top things off, he is the one who opens and shuts the schools like a madman, thus exacerbating the “COVID achievement gap” he claims to bemoan.
Playing Robin Hood drives the rich out of New York, shrinks the tax base, and does nothing to help the poor succeed in school. De Blasio is a three time loser, all in the name of championing their cause.

@joeymac4302 Well. You have to wise up. When you began speaking with the words "I am aware of the reality", you were off to a bad start, since reality is different for everyone. But, if you would investigate HOW he won, by turning democrats district's that had voted the same for 30+ years into a Republican win, (sure it was marginal since they were heavy D voters) and this occurred in a wide swathe of the country, even in deeply blue states, your next step would be to ask, "are those previous Trump voters happy or not". My opinion is that they are not happy, they are DELIGHTED! We even have millions of new jobs created, and people working now, that have become Trump voters. We have the Uber left taking over the Democrat party, driving even more D's to vote Republican (as with the #walkaway movement), a small but significant portion of the black vote are shifting away from Democrats, as are the Christian vote that I see energized like never before. Time will tell. But, I see Trump EASILY getting a second term.

f willis it's not war when you demand to be treated the SAME WAY that you treat other countries. If you allow them to sell here in the USA, but they place restrictions on the sale of our products, is it wrong to demand change? The USA has tolerated this cheating, lying, and unfairness much too long. Theft of intellectual property, copying DVD's, High tariffs and taxes on OUR products. Producing fake knock offs of our brand names, and the list goes on and on. They lower the price to put our companies out of business, and then quickly raise it, to make a large profit. Copying medicine which we developed at enormous amounts of investment and selling them with impunity. This is not war, this is stopping a criminal.

I’ve seen them, the Donna tent facility [in Texas], with over 4,000 people, with little boys and little girls on top of each other.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID-19 positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%. And all the Democrats who talked about this—if they don’t go, if they don’t denounce the Biden cages, then they’re telling you that they’re hypocrites, that they didn’t believe it when they said it, that they didn’t care about it when they said it, that it was all politics, it wasn’t about their kids.
Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who’s supposed to be the border czar, she’s supposed to be in charge of this, why won’t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.
And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say, “Nothing to see here.” Fifteen thousand Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, “Nothing to see here.”
Anyone want to know what Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor is? That’s the news. Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Never mind, when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river who died trying to cross illegally.
Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, “I won’t let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm, because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it’s dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.” Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at round tables how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.
You want to understand what’s happening, say there’s no crisis? Come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County, Brooks County in South Texas. It’s just north of the border.
Brooks County, over and over and over again, there [are] dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they’re not nice guys. They’re not humanitarians. They don’t give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain, in the summer heat.
And over and over again, the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property, where the traffickers have abandoned them. Mr. President, I ask you, is that humane? Is that compassionate, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policy that encourages, that puts people in harm’s way, and results in people dying?
When we were down on the border, we saw a young girl who had been gang-raped by the human traffickers who had brought her to America.
The rate of sexual assault is staggering, particularly among the girls and young women, so much so that a significant percentage of young women, before they take the harrowing trip with the traffickers, will implant a birth control because they know the odds of their being sexually assaulted are so great.
And I’ll tell you, as I was doing the round tables, one of the things I saw also was the colored wristbands. The traffickers are global cartels. They’re criminals. They’re vicious criminals. They charge anyone—a young man, a young woman, a little boy, a little girl—thousands of dollars, anywhere from three, four, five, six, seven, eight thousand dollars to cross into the United States.

@Liverpool 11 OK. Now let's look at it from the other side. With FACTS instead of worn out talking points. Don't believe me.. Just look up the things I say. OK... The top 1% pay FORTY percent of income tax collected. The top 10% pay SEVENTY percent. The poor pay nothing. The middle class pays the rest. So much for "fair share". Now, WHO is benefitting the most from government PAY OUTS? OK.. Rich people pay MUCH MUCH more than just income tax. Taxes young Bernie supporters never dreamed of. BUT, they don't occupy and use social services, like drug treatment, hospitals, and prisons, like those that pay ZERO. These are the TRUE leeches on the backs of the working man, and not the "wealthy" as Bernie insists. They CREATE wealth, Bernie and his spending schemes DESTROYS wealth, and encourages a society of self entitlement, Robin Hood, parasites. Wealth is not what drives politicians. It's power and influence. But, Bernie needs an ENEMY to rally his troops. Climate change, abortion, racism, paid tuition, it doesn't matter to him since he donates next to NOTHING for these causes from his own pocket. (again look up Bernie donations) He just uses them to buy votes. You know he sucks when even Hillary says he's a do nothing bum!

@isaiahjessieulloa4994 Look. You can fool yourself, you can fool other Bernie puppets. But you can't fool the VOTERS. Now, we're use to your game. First.. It's a lie... Then, when you get the link to the proof... It's a lie because it's _____ . Then, we give you five different sources... You change the subject. ALL the facts outlined in the article are undisputed. He's on film, on record, documented, and a bonafide 100% communist supporting con artist. That's why the DEMOCRAT party wants him gone. Now that his cheering puppets are on the sideline, the facts, and his past, are coming to light. He's toast. The article CLEARLY SAYS "The Israeli press" and "the new York times". Yeah yeah, I know.. They're working for Trump!! Hahaha

@isaiahjessieulloa4994 1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.

@jasonshelton9786 Could it be.....
The Republican Party will select its presidential nominee at the 2024 Republican National Convention, which will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15-18, 2024. Before the convention, each state, Washington, D.C., and five U.S. territories will hold a primary, caucus, or convention to decide how to allocate delegates at the national convention. These nominating events typically begin in February of an election year, though 2024 primary dates are still uncertain.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@austinhernandez2716 No, you're wrong. Let me explain it to you. First, the top 1% pay 40% of ALL INCOME TAX collected. The top 10% pay 70% . Let that sink in. Next. You'll hear the lying socialists play with words. Oh... The rich pay a lower rate than you do. That's true , but just for a short time. That's because they DEFER income tax (which you can do too!) but pay it later when they retire....or die as inheritance tax. Finally, the rich pay many....many more taxes OTHER THAN income tax which the "experts" here on YouTube have never heard of. Just a homeowner alone pays tax that the working stiff never does, let alone BUSINESS owners, which the rich usually are. They even MATCH YOUR social security tax, property tax, business license tax, building permits, sign permits, school tax, Capital gains tax....on and on. So when they tell you about taxes and the rich, they are careful to say "income" tax. That's only half the story. Trust me...the poor are getting away with murder. THEY not the rich are the true freeloaders.

“We are not morally bad people for taking carbon and turning it into the energy that offers life to humanity in a world that would otherwise be brutal,” Christy wrote in a recent oped. “On the contrary, we are good people for doing so.”
Carbon-based energy, which is “the most affordable and reliable source of energy in demand today, liberates people from poverty,” Christy explained to CNSNews.com. “Without energy, life is brutal and short.”
Pointing out that it was “warmer 4,000 to 5,000 years ago than it is today,” Christy said that the computer models cited by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted global warming that is “three times” what the satellite data shows is the Earth’s actual temperature. “It demonstrates we do not know how to model the climate system, in my view,” Christy said.
“All the datasets show some slight warming (+0.11 degrees Celsius per decade since Nov. 16, 1978), some more than others,” he told CNSNews.com. “But still, the amount of warming is much, much less than what was anticipated from climate models, and that’s what I’ve been showing and demonstrating in various venues, including Congress.
“In a congressional hearing last May, I demonstrated that the models are significantly above in their temperature projection from where we actually are right now. So if you go back 36 years to 1979 and run the models, they all show lots of warming. The real world shows very little warming” despite rising levels of CO2.
On May 13, Christy told the House Committee on Natural Resources that even if the U.S. completely eliminated its fossil fuel emissions, so that “there would be no industry, no cars, no utilities, no people” – the impact on global temperatures would be “so tiny as to be immeasurable.”
“The two largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific as well as volcanic eruptions, which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere. So once you account for both of those, there’s not a whole lot of warming in the planet,” Christy told CNSNews.com.
“The conclusion we have reached is that the world, the global climate, is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide. And that can occur if the climate responds in its many facets to release heat – when you add the heat from carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the climate system, but the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat into space.

deal with Iran? Apparently so far as to derail an anti-drug trafficking effort waged by Hezbollah.
Project Cassandra began in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration was convinced that Hezbollah was amassing $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and more. Operating out of Chantilly, VA, agents went undercover to map Hezbollah’s illicit networks and follow cocaine shipments.
The project got in the way of the Obama administration's nuclear agreement, new reports suggest.
But as Project Cassandra reached higher into the hierarchy of the conspiracy, Obama administration officials threw an increasingly insurmountable series of roadblocks in its way, according to interviews with dozens of participants who in many cases spoke for the first time about events shrouded in secrecy, and a review of government documents and court records. When Project Cassandra leaders sought approval for some significant investigations, prosecutions, arrests and financial sanctions, officials at the Justice and Treasury departments delayed, hindered or rejected their requests.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

Jorn Paul Winkler Listen, I've read your extremely long comments, and I want to put your face on Mt. Rushmore. I think that 100% is not a large enough number to show how much I agree with you, but unfortunately, you are dealing with a cult.. A cult of people from all walks of life that are replacing their godliness, with a new false religion of climate change. They have no purpose in life.. no meaning.. no direction... so they want to "save the planet". Think about this for a minute... Energy prices could double, food prices double.. and do you think that would "destroy" the mostly middle class in the United States? Not even close!! They spend more than that on cigarettes and beer!
There is a MISSION to effect SOCIAL CHANGE!! THAT IS THE REASON that the nonsense of climate change ALARMISM and emergency, is being thrust on the people. We don't dispute climate change... we dispute that it's an emergency. IT IS NOT.
Do you notice how the climate devotees act? They say you're wrong. We'll all be DOOMED unless we take ACTION.. NOW!! You show them cold hard facts... THEN they attack your source... (oh what does Tony Heller know?) Finally, they attack YOU personally, saying that you're dumb or just confused.
People like you know what's going on, but they WON'T LISTEN. IT'S THEIR RELIGION, and they will not listen to facts and reason. A CULT.

Too many brain dead go to college. They do FINE in Sociology and Psychology, film class, and early American history. But the J.. O.. B.. S.. that pay the real money require Advance math (ouch!) Accounting (yikes) Organic Chemistry (mommy!) or Physics (boo - hoo) and let's face it, most of the SUPER UNQUALIFIED, DEAD HEAD, BURN OUT, public school teachers can't prepare students for these classes. So, they apply for and get a bachelors in some STUPID field, or even become stupid, brain dead teachers themselves. THATS why they can't pay off their loans. Because they're IDIOTS. They never belonged in college in the first place. Just WAIT if Bolshevik Bernie gets his way. The REAL POT HEAD BURN OUTS will go to College, and it will be a catastrophe.

One lie after another after another... Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

“We are not morally bad people for taking carbon and turning it into the energy that offers life to humanity in a world that would otherwise be brutal,” Christy wrote in a recent oped. “On the contrary, we are good people for doing so.”
Carbon-based energy, which is “the most affordable and reliable source of energy in demand today, liberates people from poverty,” Christy explained to CNSNews.com. “Without energy, life is brutal and short.”
Pointing out that it was “warmer 4,000 to 5,000 years ago than it is today,” Christy said that the computer models cited by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted global warming that is “three times” what the satellite data shows is the Earth’s actual temperature. “It demonstrates we do not know how to model the climate system, in my view,” Christy said.
“All the datasets show some slight warming (+0.11 degrees Celsius per decade since Nov. 16, 1978), some more than others,” he told CNSNews.com. “But still, the amount of warming is much, much less than what was anticipated from climate models, and that’s what I’ve been showing and demonstrating in various venues, including Congress.
“In a congressional hearing last May, I demonstrated that the models are significantly above in their temperature projection from where we actually are right now. So if you go back 36 years to 1979 and run the models, they all show lots of warming. The real world shows very little warming” despite rising levels of CO2.
On May 13, Christy told the House Committee on Natural Resources that even if the U.S. completely eliminated its fossil fuel emissions, so that “there would be no industry, no cars, no utilities, no people” – the impact on global temperatures would be “so tiny as to be immeasurable.”
“The two largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific as well as volcanic eruptions, which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere. So once you account for both of those, there’s not a whole lot of warming in the planet,” Christy told CNSNews.com.
“The conclusion we have reached is that the world, the global climate, is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide. And that can occur if the climate responds in its many facets to release heat – when you add the heat from carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the climate system, but the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat into space.

There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.

We all agree that the Communist regime are criminal liars, and murderers, but don't we have to also point our finger at the SAME FN LIBERALS that sold us down the drain by BUILDING UP China, in order to make money, are the SAME ones that are allowing a MILLION illegal immigrants to flood into our country, educate Chinese students, and in the case of Bolshevik Bernie, are supporting socialism? Democrats, liberals, Hollywood elite, the PC crowd, all need the guillotine. Vote Trump 2020!!

WILL BERNIE TALK ABOUT THIS?
As RedState’s regular readers are aware, LA County’s new District Attorney, George Gascon, issued a number of Special Directives on his first day in office in December 2020 including an end to cash bail, a blanket prohibition on charging enhancements (such as gun, gang, multiple victims, committing a crime while on bail) and strikes, and an end to charging any – any – juvenile as an adult.
Predictably, the latest crime statistics reported by the Los Angeles Police Department show a massive increase in homicides, shootings, and gang violence when compared to the same time period in January 2020 – as in three-digit increases. Murders are up 136.4% and shootings are up 261.5%, while aggravated assaults are up 17.5% and motor vehicle thefts are up 17.6%.

Meanwhile.. The criminals keep stealing....... The United States indicted 10 Chinese, including two intelligence officers, over a five-year scheme to steal technology from US and French aerospace firms by hacking into their computers.
The indictments came 20 days after the Department of Justice obtained the unprecedented extradition of a senior Chinese intelligence official from Belgium to stand trial in the United States for running the alleged state-sponsored effort to steal US aviation industry secrets.
The Justice Department said the Chinese Ministry of State Security, through its Jiangsu province unit, engineered the effort to steal the technology underlying a turbofan engine used in US and European commercial airliners.
The engine was being developed through a partnership between a French aerospace manufacturer with an office in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and a US firm, it said.
The companies were not named, but earlier indictments pointed to Cincinnati, Ohio-based GE Aviation, one of the world’s leading aircraft engine manufacturers.
Meanwhile France’s Safran Group, which was working with GE Aviation on engine development, has an office in Suzhou.
The operation first became public in September when the US indicted a Chinese-American engineer for helping steal files at the direction of a top official of the Jiangsu State Security bureau.
Then on 10 October the Justice Department announced it had obtained the extradition of Xu Yanjun, the deputy division director of the Jiangsu bureau, from Belgium where he had apparently been lured and arrested in a counterintelligence operation.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@chilled99 Gees, that's funny. My father was in the military and I've been to 16 different countries. I lived in China for three years and speak decent Mandarin. I know for a fact that 1) the poorest people in the USA live better than 2/3 of the world's POPULATION, and 2) that the Chinese economy is in tatters despite the propoganda you hear from the communist government that tries desperately to control all information. I have friends around the world that tell me first hand just how terrible the conditions are, and that they DREAM of coming to the USA. Finally, 3) If you understood the Chinese "culture" like I do, and not the Chinese face saving propoganda, you would know that they are deeply worried about our military and its phenomenal capabilities to bring a world of hurt on them. One misstep on their part can lead to a calamity, and they know that. Now, what were you saying? Pollution? Well, let me put it politely, lady like.. Fuck you. Fuck your asinine pollution, and fuck your phony climate change nonsense. How's that?

In New York, more than 5,800 nursing home residents have died in connection to COVID-19, the most in the country.
On March 25, New York officials ordered nursing homes to admit infected patients, if medically stable. Then, as deaths mounted inside the facilities, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy on May 10 under pressure from advocates and relatives.
In contrast, Florida, which never ordered nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, reported 1043 nursing home resident deaths as of May 22, despite having more of the elderly care facilities than New York.

That's right! The US IS A FEROCIOUS POWER. And if Putin forgets it, he's going to get it, he's going to get a Boot heel in the face. Why?? Here's why!.... .... The overwhelming majority of kulaks executed and imprisoned were male,[3] but precise numbers have been difficult to obtain. Stalin ordered that kulaks were "to be liquidated as a class"[21] and this liquidation was considered by many historians to have resulted in the Soviet famine of 1932–33. This famine has complicated attempts to identify the number of deaths arising from the executions of kulaks. A wide range of death tolls has been suggested, from as many as 6 million suggested by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,[22]whereas the much lower number of 700,000 deaths are estimated by Soviet sources.
According to data from Soviet archives, which were published only in 1990, 1,803,392 people were sent to labor colonies and camps in 1930 and 1931. Books based on these sources have said that 1,317,022 reached the destinations. The fate of the remaining 486,370 cannot be verified. Deportations on a smaller scale continued after 1931. The reported number of kulaks and their relatives who died in labor colonies from 1932–1940 was 389,521. Former "kulaks" and their families made up the majority of victims of the Great Purge of the late 1930s, with 669,929 arrested and 376,202 executed.[23]

Bernie "most small donors" is a FRAUD.. WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day.
By the end of June, Mrs. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders, making her the most frequent contributor to any presidential campaign this year.
Mrs. Peloza is a standout example of a new trend in political fundraising. Instead of writing one large check to their preferred candidate, some donors are throwing them a few bucks dozens, or even hundreds, of times. Some repeat donors eventually pile up small contributions totaling $2,800, the legal maximum for a federal election.

@chase sanchez OK... Let's take them ONE AT A TIME.. HERE'S HIS DISCLOSURE.. These are HIS STATEMENTS NOT MINE..... charity. His 2013 disclosures specify that Avalon donated $1,506 in speaking fees to the Addison County Parent/Child Center.
Sanders released his 2014 tax return while running for president. The return indicates that he and his wife gave a total of $8,350 to charity, or 4 percent of their income that year. His 2014 financial disclosure form shows $1,017 in speeches for Avalon, which were donated to the same child center from the year before. He donated $850 to the anti-poverty group Northeast Kingdom Community Action for an appearance on “Bill Maher.”
In 2015, he donated another $850 from “Bill Maher.” (Sanders also appears to have donated $3,035 in speaking fees from Avalon.) That year, his campaign rejected a $2,700 contribution from Martin Shkreli, the former Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO infamous for hiking up the price of the drug Daraprim, instead donating it to the Whitman-Walker Health clinic in Washington, D.C. “We are not keeping the money from this poster boy for drug company greed,” a Sanders campaign spokesperson said at the time.
In 2016, Sanders donated $4,050 in appearances to charity. The beneficiaries were Burlington Meals on Wheels, the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network and a Virginia food bank, according to The Burlington Free Press. No donations were itemized for 2017.
When Sanders was the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, he told a crowd at a fundraising drive that he questioned the “fundamental concepts on which charities are based,” according to a 1981 article from The New York Times. Sanders went on to argue that the government should have control over the social programs typically undertaken by charitable organizations.
Neither Wohl nor Sanders’ office responded to a request for comment. HERE'S HIS MANSIONS.. $600,000......Lifestyles of the rich and socialist: Bernie Sanders has 3 houses, makes millions

Heather Larson That's because they are! Not ever one, of course, but many have been proven to work at a US company, download their trade secrets and disappear back to China. We can't afford ONE of them, let alone hundreds. Liberal, white guilt, kumbaya, can't we all be friends, criminal Democrat party supporters like you, are costing us thousands of jobs, and damaging our economy. If a revolution ever does come, I sincerely hope that you are grabbed and made to pay for your support of spys.

@MenengaiCrater is THIS the "trooping" you are talking about? The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law by President Clinton in May 2000 with the objective of expanding U.S. trade and investment with sub-Saharan Africa, to stimulate economic growth, to encourage economic integration, and to facilitate sub-Saharan Africa's integration into the global economy. The Act establishes the annual U.S.-sub-Saharan Africa Economic Cooperation Forum (known as the AGOA Forum) to promote a high-level dialogue on trade and investment-related issues. At the center of AGOA are substantial trade preferences that, along with those under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), allow virtually all marketable goods produced in AGOA-eligible countries to enter the U.S. market duty-free.
Since its inception, AGOA has helped to increase U.S. two-way trade with sub-Saharan Africa.
The U.S. Congress requires the President to determine annually whether sub-Saharan African countries are eligible for AGOA benefits based on progress in meeting certain criteria, including progress toward the establishment of a market-based economy, rule of law, economic policies to reduce poverty, protection of internationally recognized worker rights, and efforts to combat corruption. As of August 2014, 41 sub-Saharan African countries were eligible for AGOA benefits.
The U.S. Government provides assistance -- most notably through four regional trade hubs -- to African governments and businesses that are seeking to make the most of AGOA and to diversify their exports to the United States.

"Chinese drywall" refers to an environmental healthissue involving defective drywall manufactured in China, imported to the United States and used in residential construction between 2001 and 2009 — affecting "an estimated 100,000 homes in more than 20 states."[1]
In samples of contaminated drywall, laboratory tests will detect off-gassing of volatile chemicals and sulfurous gases — including carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide. The emissions worsen as temperature and humidity rise, will give off a sulfuric (rotten egg) odor and will cause copper surfaces to turn black and powdery, a chemical process indicative of a hydrogen sulfide reaction and an early indication of contaminated drywall. Copper pipes, electrical wiring, and air conditioner coils are affected, as well as silver jewelry.
Homeowners have reported health symptoms including respiratory problems such as asthma attacks, chronic coughing and difficulty breathing, as well as chronic headaches and sinus issues.[2][3][4]

kllyoself now Who's talking about saving? If you get cancer and want it to go away, you don't save it do you? Sometimes you gotta have a temporary inconvenience in order to have a permanent improvement. I just want the people who are not happy here, feel cheated here, are "suppressed" here, the downtrodden, the poor victims of inequality, the uninsured, underpaid, and overworked, to simply get your rear end in gear, get your bags packed, and get moving towards more fertile grounds. If that's Africa, Russia, Cuba, or Mexico... GET GOING. Otherwise STFU and get to work like the rest of us.

@iamlegend6676 Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.
Stand in the sun? Comon man! You can't possibly be that dumb now can you? What do you pick cotton for a living? Stand in the sun?? Where? On my Caribbean vacation where I get waited on by.... ahem... We won't go there. Just let's have you Google "diseases that only black people get" and get back to me. Then we'll talk about the TRILLIONS of dollars sent to the motherland to feed the dark hordes. You know you can't last a month without feeding off the white teat!!

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

@Fred Freddy Fred... I have a strange gentleman that appears at my door carrying a mysterious package, this man has a police record and spent time in jail with known criminals from the Cosa Nostra. The government itself has no idea what is contained in the package, and interviews with the neighbors provide no other further details other than to link the subject "rogerdidit" to late night walks supposedly with his pet. However, he disappears from the street and may have been meeting with someone on the adjacent block. IT'S MY MAILMAN FRED! My FN mailman delivering me car parts, you dope! He served time in jail, and then got hired on the postoffice!! Manafort DID ALL HIS DIRTY DEEDS before he even met Trump. He worked for the Trump campaign for TWO WEEKS you dope. Trump has ZERO culpability in ANY of the crimes committed by these characters. Can you say the same about Hillary?? Did she INDEED have an illegal server and LIED about its contents? Did Weener receive TOP SECRET emails on his laptop? Weener was a sexual pervert and is married to a woman that is Hillaries TOP ADVISOR! Does that concern you Fred? Does millions in missing money that was intended for Hatai concern you Fred? Does the FBI conspiring to remove a duly elected President, concern you Fred? Does the fact that they INVENTED a conspiracy where there was none, in order to harras and depose the president, and CREATED a fake dossier, bought and paid for by Hillary in order to launch the investigation, bother you Fred? TWO YEARS FRED! House, Senate, FBI, CIA, NSA, and Meuller investigation, and what do you have ON TRUMP FRED?? HERE'S WHAT THEY GOT ON MANAFORT.... The indictment accused Manafort and Gates of doctoring documents to inflate the income of their businesses and then using those fraudulent documents to obtain loans. It also accused Manafort of evading taxes from 2010 through 2014 and, in some of the years, concealing his foreign bank accounts. TELL ME FRED. What's that got to do with Trump? How about THIS FREDDY??........ https://youtu.be/EVexfyK9lsM

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

@SandfordSmythe Look...have your heard "a rose by any other name is still a rose"?
Don't let the lefties fool you with terminology. Progressives, socialists, Democrat socialists, social Democrats, ALL the same snake oil salesmen that makes big promises, until they gain power. I can tell you that with the VERY BEST intentions they have made a mess of everything that they touch. Cold, hard, Capitalism is why millions flock here to the USA every year, and not to your socialist worker paradises of Cuba, China, Russia, and North Korea. The rest of them like the Nordic states do well.....that is until the money runs out. You're seeing the money run out in China, right now.

@skidfrog Hurt feelings go with the territory. He's not new to that. But, when his supporters see UNWARRANTED, and UNREASONABLE, and IGNORANT attacks on him, then they have the right to speak up. Look, at the end of the day, let me tell you how it REALLY works. It's just like gradeschool. You have the big guy and the worms. The worms moan and complain, but the big guy rules, because he can kick ass. OK, so he doesn't get invited to the worm party. But, it doesn't matter because he knows, it's lonely at the top. He's the boss. Complain if you want, he's falling asleep. If he gets pissed off enough, he pulls the plug on the party. He is the one with the pliers on the worm balls. He puts up with worm antics, worm complaints, worm gags and jokes, and he just groans. Now, as long as his supporters keep him and his pliers in charge, the worms are getting screwed. Sure, you can try to help Bernie the King worm, take the throne, but then the Bosses supporters are gonna turn that into an electric chair. We're gonna make Bernie worms life a living nightmare, and throw the little worms to the fish. You see, we have the picnic, and you worms get the dirt. That's how it works. When you leave college, you come to US for a job. WE are the boss... You? You're just a FN worm. Don't like it? Go to someone else's picnic.

@Gray963 Facts? Trum haters can't deal with facts. They REFUSE to face the FACTS. Now, if winning an election makes me an "emotional cripple" then what does that make you? I argue Jobs, minority jobs, manufacturing jobs, job training, economy, Veterans, judges, right to try, tax cuts, trade deals, cutting regulations, North Korea relations. How does that sound? I get back Orange man, sun tan, lies, he's dumb, tax returns, impeachment, Cohen, the Russians, and a lot of other bullshit from brain damaged Trump haters and Bernie boobs. FACTS? Oh, that came from ___ And they lie! Tax cuts? Oh.. They got more than you (cause they paid more) Jobs? It was Oba-mao who did that? That's why TRUMP is going to win AGAIN. People don't want to exchange blue cross blue shield, for red hammer red sickle.

Hey Bernie... Here's your boy Joe making BIG PROGRESSIVE MOVES already.. Of course your supporters don't hear you mention THIS stuff...
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

@clydemartinez1396 You've been eating too many bananas. Before Chiquita and Dole.. They were STARVING. There was no jobs, no wealth, no nothing! We never forced them to be a part of the USA. The Treaty of Paris of 1898 (Filipino: Kasunduan sa Paris ng 1898; Spanish: Tratado de París (1898)) was a treaty signed by Spain and the United States on December 10, 1898, that ended the Spanish–American War. In the treaty, Spain relinquished all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba, and ceded Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. The cession of the Philippines involved a compensation of $20 million from the United States to Spain.[1] The Treaty of Paris came into effect on April 11, 1899, when the documents of ratification were exchanged.[2]

@royaldigitalmedia 1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.

THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT.............................. BEIJING — A Jeep Wranglercan cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is a descendant of the jeeps that were used by American forces in World War II. Equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, the Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle that is made in another country and brought to China’s shores.
Those taxes on imported cars have become a growing area of friction between the United States and China. American former officials and current advisers to President Trump say that concern about the widening United States deficit in automotive trade has become a pressing issue ahead of the president’s meeting in Florida next month with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

@2lazy2p4now Who says it wasn't right? If that was the law at that time, in that society, under those conditions, then who are you to question their validity now? Why aren't you concerned with the slaughter of the unborn? That's the law, right? But it's wrong too, yet there's no peep out of Biden supporters on that! Ours is not to judge the law, but to FOLLOW the law, and if you don't like it, THEN work through the Democratic process to get it changed. Again, the Republicans did NOTHING that violated the law. Look up justice BORK and see what the dems did to him! Then after that, look up judge Clarence Thomas and see what your "it isn't right" democrats did to him too. Oh yeah, don't forget Kavanaugh. The filthy smear campaign against him was despicable. THEN tell me about Republicans putting through a judge for the Supreme Court. Go ahead.. check them out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 22, 2023
WASHINGTON D.C. — Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

@Pack -A- Punch How about this?
2016: Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders says concerns about his honeymoon trip to the USSR in the ’80s are “silly." He’ll have a harder time explaining his months-long stay at a hardcore Stalinist camp in the ’60s.
It’s clear the self-avowed socialist is even further left than he has admitted. Fifty years ago, during the height of the Cold War, he sought out communist indoctrination.
The Israeli press earlier this month broke the story that Sanders, who is Jewish, spent several months at an Israeli commune co-founded by a Soviet spy. The revelation is just now wending its way through the American media, where it’s been confirmed by none other than the New York Times, though the pro-Democrat paper predictably buried the story on its back pages.
As a college student in 1963, Sanders was a guest of the Hashomer Hatzair, a Marxist youth movement founded by communist Ya’akov Hazan, who called the Soviet Union a second homeland and eulogized Stalin as “the great leader and extolled commander. We lower our flag in grief in memory of the great revolutionary fighter (and) architect of socialist construction.”
Ignoring Stalin’s atrocities, Hazan oozed: “His huge historical achievements will guide generations in their march toward the reign of socialism and communism the world over.”
The Marxist movement Sanders joined pledged its allegiance to the Soviet Union and was described as “Stalinist” as late as 1969 — well after Sanders’ visit.
Sanders has acknowledged staying at a “kibbutz;” but there are many of them in Israel, and he and his campaign have refused to ID which one he attended. The Tel Aviv paper Haaretz dug up the records, revealing the exact camp -- Sha’ar Ha’amakim -- and noted that it was founded in 1935 during Stalin’s reign.
The Times reported that Sanders' camp viewed the USSR as a model society worthy of adoption, and often flew the Red flag at its events -- the same flag, notably, that Sanders would later hang in his office as mayor of Burlington, Vt., according to the New York Post.
The Times says Sanders and his comrades would farm in the morning and then partake in “cultural events” in the afternoon. Did he sing the communist workers’ anthem? Pay homage to Lenin and Stalin?
Voters ought to know. Only, the media aren't interested in finding out. So far no debate moderator has asked Sanders about his commie camp days. Strikingly, even Fox News let Sanders off the hook in a rare interview last Sunday.
Sanders has a long resume of radicalism. Here’s the rest of Sanders’ subversive past the media are keeping under wraps:
1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.
Let’s hope it is leaked to the public before Sanders gets any closer to the White House.

Bernie sanders is a communist masquerading as a social Democrat that buys his vote from clueless young puppets with promises that he can't keep. Here's his socialist utopia... Successive French administrations of both the left and right have been trying to reform this and other aspects of the country’s statist economy for decades, with limited results. Social benefits, once given, are hard to pare, much less withdraw. Hence the frequent strikes: Since 1789, French governments have been acutely sensitive to mass protests, and too often have capitulated to them.
Hence also France’s perennial economic crisis.
The country’s unemployment rate has not fallen below 7 percent since 1983 and is now at 8.6 percent. Long-term unemployment exceeds 40 percent, compared with 13.3 percent in the US. The country’s annual growth rate has barely exceeded an average of 1 percent per year since the 21st century began. It’s expected to come in at 1.3 percent for this year.
As of last year, the median monthly take-home pay was just $1,930, meaning half of all French workers make even less. It’s why the country erupted in protest when Macron proposed raising fuel taxes a few cents per liter.
How much of this is a matter of the French making different, arguably better, choices when it comes to balancing work and leisure? Surely some. And how much of it is made up for by quality public services, strong worker protections, and fewer economic inequalities? Some, too.
Then again, the health service that used to be the toast of Francophiles is overwhelmed, understaffed, and “on the brink of collapse,” according to a report in The Guardian. French universities, while cheap, are overcrowded, underfunded, and notoriously mediocre: “Too easy to get in and too easy to get out,” as one local observer put it. French workers exercise their right to strike roughly seven times more frequently than German workers do, and 125 times more than Swiss ones.
As for income inequality, France is certainly much less unequal than the US. But France’s top 1 percent still held 22 percent of the country’s wealth at the beginning of 2018. That was despite a draconian effort by the previous Socialist government to impose a super-tax on high earners. It raised scant revenue while accelerating the exodus of the rich. Like many European attempts at imposing a wealth tax, it was quickly repealed.
All of this should stand as a stark warning to Democrats. France has the highest overall tax take among OECD countries (46.9 percent of GDP), the highest rate of government spending, (56.38 percent of GDP), the highest rate of safety-net spending, and the third-highest rate of pension spending.
Whatever else all this taxing and spending might be doing, it’s clearly not creating jobs or prosperity.

@NateAnderson1420 What else is there besides money and power? If YOU don't think money is important, then empty your meager savings and move to Zimbabwe, or North Korea. You can live on next to nothing there! Now, maybe you can explain to everyone why the USA was until just recently a net EXPORTER of oil and right now, is one of the major EXPORTER of natural gas? Now, as to your brainwashing claim, the USA has for DECADES offered news from other countries such as Mexican, English, Polish, and even RT a Russian media outlet. So who's being brainwashed? No, the REAL problem is that ass wipes don't understand that people fought and died for YOUR right to criticize your own government. Try that in China or Russia. See how it works for you in Cuba or Venezuela. Give us your opinion of the government in North Korea! Yet, what have YOU given to the country? Most likely you aren't even paying income tax. Just a squeaky turd.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

Here's Joe's agenda..
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS
Nurturing a Small Business Boon
- The Washington Times
“As we mark six months since Mr. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, we continue to see more Americans working,” Administrator Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, writes. “With more money in their pockets, Americans are spending again — and that’s good news for small businesses.”
-------------------------
Supreme Court Rules that President Trump's Travel Ban is Constitutional
- CNBC
The Supreme Court found this week that President Trump’s order on travel restrictions falls “squarely” within his executive authority, Tucker Higgins reports for CNBC. “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
-------------------------
American Money Flowing Back into America
- Fox Business
“America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of [President Trump’s] tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — the most on record,” Suzanne O’Halloran writes. “This is why many economists are boosting their GDP forecasts to between 3% and 4%.”
-------------------------
Foxconn Investment is Sign of More to Come
- Journal Times
“The groundbreaking on Foxconn’s $10-billion factory to produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant represents a milestone for America,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross writes. “It would never have happened without the promise of the Trump tax cuts and the President’s personal intervention.”
-------------------------
Stand Tough on Trade: It’s a Start to Give Support to U.S. Manufacturing
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board writes that President Trump “is forcing a re-examination of America’s trade policies, and making other countries consider the consequences of the trade war they have long waged upon us.” The editors remind readers that “America has been reflexively globalist and anti-protectionist for a long time now, and it has not worked. The Rust Belt has been impoverished.”
-------------------------
President Trump's Approval Rating Rises Among Hispanics
- RealClearPolitics
In RealClearPolitics, Steve Cortes points out that the main driver of President Trump’s growing popularity is “a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.” Cortes explains that “as President Trump pursues policies that drive growth and public safety – such as tax cuts and cracking down on the MS-13 gang – no wonder his popularity rises apace among Latinos.”
-------------------------
Democracy Requires Borders
- Washington Examiner
The Washington Examiner Editorial Board argues that the open border ideology of Democrats and left-wing commentators “is as dangerous as it is unpopular.” The editors paint a stark picture of that policy’s consequencs: “Theoretically, we could give up on borders, as some seem to want. But that would mean giving up on having a democratic society.”
-------------------------
President Trump Will Protect US Farmers from China's Trade Retaliation
- USA Today
“President Donald Trump is standing up to China, which wrongly believes it can bully our farmers to get America to back away from defending our national interests,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes in an op-ed for USA Today. “He will not allow U.S. agriculture to bear the brunt of China’s retaliatory tactics.”
-------------------------
The Great Economic Comeback is Greatest for Millennials
- Washington Examiner
“Thanks to a robust economy, historically low unemployment, and the largest tax cut in history, our country is in the midst of a great American comeback, and millennials, perhaps more than any other generation, will reap the fruit of this great economic boon,” Ryan Fournier writes.
-------------------------
Buying American Can Help Keep the Philly Shipyard Afloat
- The Philadelphia Inquirer
“President Trump’s commitment to a 355-ship United States Navy, together with this administration’s ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for United States industry, are creating the conditions for a more vibrant maritime industry and the rejuvenation of great maritime cities such as Philadelphia,” writes Peter Navarro, Director of the White House National Trade Council.
-------------------------
American Natural Gas Is Fueling the World’s Future
- Washington Examiner
Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes that “the United States is now producing enough natural gas and other fuels to be on the verge of energy independence. This positive development is untying the hands of our elected leadership, and enabling it to conduct foreign policy in a way that advances this Nation and its allies’ interests.”

In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Why can't we let EVERYONE JUST COME HERE?? Well, we'd need a lot more schools, hospitals, police, and social services, and who's going to pay for that? THE RICH!! LET THEM PAY. If they take their money from the bank to pay higher taxes (not just income tax) the bank has less to lend out to those poor people to buy a home, car, furniture, etc... LET'S EAT THE RICH! WHEEEE! These are the half wit stooges we have to deal with. No brains, no common sense, no future.

@jameswalker3416 Here's all that matters... Released two weeks ago, the Census Bureau’s report on “Income and Poverty in the United States” for 2019 clearly shows that, pre-pandemic, President Trump’s economic success blew past that of any other presidency.
First, the Census Bureau reported that real median household income grew to $68,703 in 2019, an impressive 6.8% increase over 2018. It was the largest one-year increase in median income on record going back to 1967. It was also 45 percent more growth in a single year ($4,379) than Obama/Biden produced in their entire 8 years in office ($3,021).
As was the case throughout Trump’s first three years, the economic benefits were widespread. While the overall growth rate was 6.8%, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for Black Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6% for Asian Americans. All record highs as were the new income levels for each of these groups.

@damhood2033 Let me educate you, since you don't know what you are talking about. At a fire, the police are called in.. let's say for crowd control, to arrest an arson, etc.. while there, they are at the behest of the fire command. It is FIRE that makes the command for the incident. At a police scene, let's say a car accident, the fire dept may be called to let's say wash gasoline from the street. They are at the behest of the POLICE command. Are you with me so far? Now at a police action, MEDICS can be called in, and HELLO!! Are you still awake? The medics follow the orders of the police. Restrain this person, transport this person, inject this person. In the case of overdose, or violent individuals, NO PRIOR authorization from a doctor is needed. They can tell them to use drugs, but not WHICH drugs. THAT is left up to the Medics. Now go back over to the Taylor Swift comment section, where you can impress the ladies with your knowledge.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@Dsantinho OK. Let me explain. You are free to disagree. He LAMBASTED millionaires for his entire political career. Suddenly, he stopped. Why? He BECAME a millionaire. No longer were they the enemy. Now, its the Billionaire. He talks about GREED, yet he has THREE HOMES!! He's a real champion of civil rights, yet there are an APPALING low number of African Americans in HIS DISTRICT. He says he takes NO donations from corporations, but hides the fact that he funnels money through left wing groups TO THOSE VERY CORPORATIONS. He's never owned a business, ran a business, or worked a REAL 40 hour work week in his life! (yeah, I know his BS carpenter story) He's a big talker and a tiny DOER, getting next to nothing done over his entire career in Congress, besides attaching his name to bills that never became law. He's the CHAMPION of the working man, right? Then how come the major unions NEVER SUPPORT HIM? Sure he shows up to march, and gives speeches, but the major unions REFUSE to endorse him? WHY? Because he's a wishful thinking FRAUD. A communist, rebranded as a "social democrat" The exact same term used by the NAZI!! In his past? Called for the TAKEOVER of banks AND industry by the government (like Venezuela) although his devotees have done a great job of hiding those facts.

@Dsantinho I hate Biden too! He's worse than Bolshevik Bernie! We had the very best economy under Trump! He didn't get sucked into the climate change hoax, and if you look at his record and not what the press said about him, you'll see that he did more for the working man in four years obstructed by the Russia collusion hoax and the propaganda fake news than Bernie did in his entire career. Let's make it simple...Trump wanted COMPETITION in health care (think cellphone cost/performance) while Bernie wanted Socialized government run healthcare (Veteran administration??) Tell me this. Pure and simple...WHAT does government do better than the evil, greedy, Corporate, big business? Surely you can name ONE thing that Washington does excellent? You want NASA. I want Space X. You want checks for the poor, I want jobs for them. Bernie wants hand outs, Trump wants hand ups. Bernie said "food lines are a good thing"??? Look at California.. Crime ridden, forests on fire, homeless on the streets, and believe me...if not for those wealthy " not paying their fair share", they'd be bankrupt. Now finally..look this up. Don't believe me.. The top ONE PERCENT pay 40% of all tax collected. The top TEN PERCENT pay 70%. The wealthy are paying MORE..MUCH MORE than their fair share, and providing jobs while they do it. Now what are the "poor" contributing to society? How much tax do THEY pay? Yet, they cost society the most in prisons, hospitals, and social services. You want to REALLY understand what a bum Sanders is? Get into the middle class...Own a small business.. Visit the post office one day, and FEDEX the next. Then you'll get it.
Just educate yourself..
Spend some time by searching Bernie Sanders Communist. Get both sides of the story. Research his past.

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

@masterdeetectiv9520 Oh ...and also....
But just as in the United States, China's affirmative-action policy is controversial, divisive and, some argue, unsuccessful.
It is also, to Western eyes, flawed. That is because the policy is not based on any philosophy of equality, or any desire to "celebrate differences."
Instead, the Chinese people, for the most part, remain completely at ease with racial stereotypes. Affirmative action here does not mean re-evaluating the Han belief that all minorities are "backward, primitive barbarians" who need the help of their "Han older brothers" - to quote some cliches.
China's policy is purely pragmatic. The idea is to give the minorities just enough power, education or economic success to keep them quiet. As opposed to empowering minorities, it is meant to encourage assimilation and the creation of a peaceful, unified and essentially Han country.
Indeed, treatment of minorities in the popular press, and for example, the creation of a "minority theme park" - a sideshow-like museum in Beijing, where curious Han can have their pictures taken with minorities like Ya - make continued Han chauvinism painfully apparent.

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

@madijorgy Both of them are frauds. Especially Bolshevik Bernie. There's not ONE thing about him that's done ANYTHING for workers, blacks, or anyone else. Just talk, talk, talk. Meanwhile..... "In New York alone, last year ICE arrested 149 child predators, identified or rescued 105 victims of exploitation and human trafficking, arrested 230 gang members, and seized 6,487 pounds of illegal narcotics, including fentanyl and opioids," Wolf wrote to New York officials. "In the vast majority of these cases, ICE relied on New York DMV records to fulfill its mission." TRUMP GETTING IT DONE

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

In my opinion, which almost everyone will disagree with is that the EV will go the way of 3D movies, and the Betamax. Public transportation was cheaper, the "third lane" was suppose to be a game changer, solar homes were expected to sweep the nation. All are catastrophes. The next time you go to the gas station, if you are very efficient, it should take you two minutes total to fill up. Try sitting there waiting an additional 18 minutes, and don't forget, there are two cars in front of you. I don't care HOW much you save, I don't see it working. Charge stations are $50K and do you think apartment owners are going to install them? I don't. Next.... The charge is 80% at the top...20% at the bottom. Deduct 10% for winter driving...2-3% per year on battery degradation and your range just got crucified. Any fuel savings evaporate with the change to a new battery after ten years, and with it goes your equity.

@volauron You're FN Hillarious! Do you live in another universe? Do you know how to use Google? Can you read the business news? WTF is wrong with you people? Jobs, the economy, people's life savings in the stock market, ALL AT AT TWENTY YEAR HIGHS! We have more minorities, more women, more manufacturing jobs, less crime, than in decades!! Bernie has to find mayhem, so you'll vote for "change".. Obummer ran on that and the national debt DOUBLED from ten to twenty trillion. Bernie gets in and you'll be using dollars for toilet paper. BUT YOUR HEALTHCARE will be free. Sure there'll be a six hour wait at the hospital (like the VA is now) but, you won't mind that, right? Just get in line with all the illegal aliens that are here from open borders!! Wake up man.

@evantyoung8033 Well, listen.. Tell me what GOVERNMENT service is superior to the private sector? Can you name ONE FN thing the government gets involved in, that isn't full of waste, fraud, and abuse? They can't even manage to run an ELECTION and do it properly! Public housing? A fiasco! Public schools? Barahahaha... And you want to turn our Healthcare system over to WHO? Beaurecrats in Washington? Are you goofy? You say 40,000 are homeless? We have 350 million people in this country, you dope. We have more people than forty thousand that believe in UFO's!! We have MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of vets that, DO have homes, DO have jobs. We don't need to destroy our medical system that the MAJORITY of people were happy with until oba-mao came along! Now, the Demon rats fought Trump every step of the way, or we WOULD have Healthcare for all! They didn't want him to succeed. NOT ONE VOTE FROM THE ANIMALS. Not one. Because they're Pelosi puppets. You gotta manufacture a crisis, so you can grasp POWER. That's what it's all about! If you care about homeless, why are you letting MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS flood into the country? Bolshevik Bernie wants to give THEM FREE HEALTHCARE TOO! You idiot. Who do you think is gonna pay? To wait a month to see a doctor! Teenagers who pay zero, will be the drama queens in the waiting room. Wake up you dope!

@deandean561 What's that have to do with me. Look...sit down and write down every possible calamity that might come in the future. War, civil uprising, famine, earthquake, etc.. And then imagine that it happens tomorrow. Then ask yourself what do you want, where do you want to be.. Etc.. In a tent out in the woods? Or with neighbors? With a one year supply of food or $1000 in your checking account. A home in the city AND one at another location, or a few bars of Gold. You might disagree, but I will be trading you a can of tuna fish for your ounce of gold. I'll be here with neighbors loaded for bear, while peppers are on the highways going to?? I don't care WHAT gold has served as in the past. I need shelter, food, an safety for me and my family. I invest in bricks and mortar not metal.

LISTEN DUMMY. This whole Rothschild baloney is a heap of nonsense! Check the FACTS on his "if I control the currency, I care not who makes the laws" ITS A LIE! ROTHSCHILD NEVER SAID THAT.. The actual quote which is attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild is:
Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!
A number of sources (such as this one) claim that this statement was made in 1838 (which would have been a difficult feat as he would have been dead for 26 years by then). Wikiquote claims that there is no way to verify by whom, when or why it was made. It notes:
No primary source for this is known and the earliest attribution to him known is 1935 (Money Creators, Gertrude M. Coogan). Before that, "Let us control the money of a nation, and we care not who makes its laws" was said to be a "maxim" of the House of Rothschilds, or, even more vaguely, of the "money lenders of the Old World".
It is adapted from another well known quote:
Let me make the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.
This is in turn attributed to the Scot, Andrew Fletcher:
In An Account of a Conversation he made his well-known remark "I knew a very wise man so much of Sir Christopher's sentiment, that he believed if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation."

@zeb1820 I spend countless hours educating cluck bait boobs about this nonsense. Listen. Let's take it step at a time. The richest people in the world don't keep a lot of cash. It's ZEROES AND ONES on a computer somewhere. It's "FIAT" currency. It has NO INTRINSIC VALUE (eat, sleep, shelter, etc) When a currency suffers tremendous Devaluation it takes bushels of cash to buy bread. (Venezuela) The things that DONT devalue in this environment is SHELTER, FUEL, FOOD, AG LAND. I you have a home, you can rent a room for labor. You can barter for whatever you need. If you have Gold and I have bread, WHO DO YOU THINK is calling the shots? One loaf of bread.. One OUNCE of Gold!! It's useless! If you have currency based on Gold, and you only have a ton of gold, then you ONLY have a "ton" of currency. Or a fixed amount. Society can never expand! You can't control inflation if there's a scarcity of items. And you can't boost the economy when no one is buying anything. THAT'S what the fed dies, and why it's important. Now, you can have a garden outside, or a hydroponic garden INSIDE to grow and barter that for ANYTHING. But, if all you have is gold, who wants it? I don't! Give me bread! Two people push gold. Those that sell it. Those that own it. Diamonds are NOT RARE. They are controlled by a cartel. Cash is needed only in good times as a means if CONVEYANCE. I can buy bread and get change. The baker gets paid and does what? Gets a haircut! On and on. If you want my house, you need LOTS OF CASH. But, I'm not selling. I don't need your cash. I can "invent" cash with a credit card. Can you invent bread? A house? Moral? Get a house. Pay off the mortgage with your payment PLUS your savings. Buy another. Rent it out. Pay IT off with your mortgage PLUS your savings, PLUS the RENTAL INCOME. Then, do what you want. If the currency collapses then, get your tenant to work in your garden for his rent money! Grow vegetables in HIS house.

@Gregg Payton Gees Greg. We're there to "protect a pipeline" who told you that? We're there (with other nations) so that the Islamic lunatics don't set up a base of operations to menace the USA and the world. A high school senior knows that! So, you think our military is "lied to".. Yeah, only Bernie supporters are the SCHMART ones. The rest of us 1)dont understand 2) are just ignorant of the facts 3) are stupid.. That's why we win elections. We're dumb. Yes, we have military in other countries, AT THEIR REQUEST. The only mistake is that we're paying for it... LIKE TRUMP SAYS!! So, let's vote for Bernie so he can open the borders, then we'll have 3 in 7 going to bed hungry! Then after feeding them, let a few million more in. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2011/11/20/are-one-in-five-american-children-hungry/ And "millions don't get proper medical care"??? They have clinics at Walmart for $35!!! What hospital turns people away? Yeah, Bezos pays no taxes you dope. He employs tens of thousands of people!! How many does socialist Bernie employ? Five million children starve to death? Barahahaha.. Can you really be that dumb? Now listen Greg. Here's what REALLY counts. How many DO YOU FEED? How much of YOUR "wealth" are you donating every month? Bernie gave a whopping 4% last year to a charity he refuses to name! So, why don't YOU lead the way Gregg? Send a check for a few hundred to feed the children. TRUMP got you $1000 more back in taxes, what about THAT money Gregg? And BTW.. Throw away your car keys you FN criminal, and stop using oil! Save the planet!! It starts with YOU dopey. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Opium-Rules-Afghan-Oil-Will-Never-Get-Out-Of-The-Ground.html HERE..

@armyveteran02 So, if a dictator takes over and threatens the people, starves them, arrests them, holds fake elections, destroys the country by spending billions of dollars, then the USA should just sit back and do nothing? You say we can't invade them, right? OK... We listen to you. But, do we have to do business with them? If they confiscate the oil companies, and their workers all leave, should we help them? Is that what you are saying? Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing into sorrounding countries, and need to be fed and housed, but you want the USA to "stay out of it"? What kind of sick, twisted, communist mind do you have? Now, how about 200,000 Africans invading where you live, and beating and robbing your mother? They rape your sister. You stupid piece of shit. Are you a FN racist for wanting them to leave? You jackass. If you lived near me, I'd spit on you.

@dianawells3300 but isn't progressive, just anither word for communist? You know, they want government control of our Healthcare?? Everything the government has touched has been a nightmare, why would you want to vote progressive? Because they give it a nice sounding name? Like slaughtering an infant becomes "choice"? And we know that global warming was a hoax, they even changed the name to climate change, because the numbers showed it was cooling? Kyoto? Everyone knows it was an effort to strip a trillion dollars out of the USA and send the money to third world shithole, right? I don't know why anyone wants to vote for a senile old, white, Bolshevik, jew, like Bernie. What's he ever got accomplished in government? He talks a lot, but what actually did he get accomplished? Promises?

Best Bast OK, let's take ONE at a time. Isn't that what you said? Now, those worker "rights" that you mentioned are described as rights by WHO? At the very foundation of a workers right, is a RIGHT TO WORK. Not to be forced to join a union that fights for "rights" and in doing so, drives employers OUT OF THE COUNTRY. The leave to places with less regulation, less environmental loonies, and yes.. Less worker "rights". Now wage and benefits are rising at the fastest pace in a decade ( today's market watch) and manufacturing jobs are going through the roof. I might add that it was STRONG UNION STATES that went for Trump. Blue states that were well aware of his policies. Even the Supreme Court recently ruled that it IS A WORKERS RIGHT to not join a union and pay dues. So, seeing how Trump has an 80% + approval rating with Republicans, I'd say that he's done a pretty good job of taking care of workers. Did I mention, more blacks, Hispanics, women are now working?

Best Bast Now, as to your employment claims. Yes, Obama had been reducing unemployment, BUT WHAT KIND OF JOBS WERE CREATED? Low wage, server jobs, massage therapists, McDonald's workers. Now, look at MANUFACTURING, OIL INDUSTRY WORKERS, and other HIGH WAGE JOBS that have improved dramatically, and ALL WITH NO HELP.. NONE.. FROM DEMOCRATS. Oba-mao had 1.9% growth after DOUBLING THE NATIONAL DEBT! Trump just gave us 4.1 percent growth, all while sending ILLEGALS BACK HOME. Wages are up, benefits are up. HIGHER THAN OBUMMER had in his entire presidency.

Here's what you have..
HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

lamp007 Sometime in September, Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to unveil his "Medicare for all" bill, which would have the government pay 100% of the nation's entire health care costs.
Sanders, like all of his kindred single-payer advocates, claims that every other industrialized country in the world provides guaranteed universal coverage, and has lower health costs and better health outcomes as a result.
But what Sanders and Co. never, ever, say is that those countries also require their citizens to pay a far bigger share of health care dollars out of pocket than the U.S. does today, or that most of them have some form of private health insurance in the mix.
In Denmark, for example, out-of-pocket spending accounts for 14% of the country's health budget, according to the latest data from the OECD. Australians pay almost 20% of their health costs out of pocket. Brits pay 15% of their health costs directly, as do Canadians. Swiss citizens pay a whopping 28% out of pocket.
Even in Communist China, people pay 32% of the nation's health care costs out of their own pockets, according to the Commonwealth Fund.
On that score, the U.S. system is already more generous than even socialist countries. Just 11% of health costs are paid for out of pocket in the U.S, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

@rowbot5555 Look.. if you know ABC about Bernie, you know from day one, that he's always talking about how the USA needs Socialism like Sweden and "not like Venezuela" The Bolsheviks called themselves socialists, friends of the working class, only interested in fairness and helping the poor. UNTIL THEY TOOK POWER. Then, it all changed. Read your history, He's been giving speeches for thirty years, telling the young foolish dreamers, just what they want to hear. Blamed millionaire for DECADES until he became one. Now he blames Billionaires!! Talks about the homeless while he has THREE homes!! He was asked what CHARITY he donates to, and he REFUSED to answer! He's a fraud and a con artist that his legislative record will prove... has done nothing. Sure, he's a "co-sponsor" for others legislation, most of which have never become law. Never served in the military, never had a real job, never ran a business or hired anyone! He's a real expert on economics, yet has no education!! Just investigate him closely. Google " Bernie Sanders communist" and pick a few articles to read. Oh by the way... HERE'S BERNIE.... https://youtu.be/cz0u2FH5Bnk

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

@zacboyles1396 Zac, you're preaching truth to the devil. Bernie is a cult. To his followers, he can do no wrong. Like the pied Piper, he has them sold on a make believe vision that's been a failure everywhere it's been tried. Three homes? Who cares? He's a millionaire, but won't tell who he donates to? So what? He's spent a lifetime feeding at the public trough, talking, talking, marching, marching, getting next to nothing done! (whoah! He co-signed a few bills) but all that doesn't matter.. He's the cult leader. He knows what phrases to say, he tells them what they want to hear. He's for the working man (what union supports him?) He's 100% for BLM (how many minorities in HIS district) He calls millionaires greedy (yet he's one) He claims "all small donations", yet he funnels corporate money through political action groups that fund his campaigns. But, his groupies just don't see any of that. He's their God.

@cxarhomell5867 People "feeding off of other peoples work, that's how we sustain our necessities".. That exactly right. You act as a thief. One that takes the reward of others labors, for yourself while you claim to "serve God". Not only don't you serve God, you don't serve man either, only yourself. Now, for someone that studies so hard as an excuse for hard work, you should be well familiar with Genesis 3:19, as I've pointed out to you. As God's chosen people, he sure has stood by watching the pogroms, suffering, and near annihilation in the holocaust as reward for all your dutiful study and worship. It appears that you are in perpetual study yet caught in immobilized practice. Is it any surprise then, that the punishment has continued for well over two thousand years, while you continue to believe that you are the sheep and the rest of God's creation, mere goats.

@cxarhomell5867 In November 1872, a self-taught historian named George Smith toiled away in the archives of the British Museum sorting through fragments of clay tablets recovered from ancient Mesopotamian archeological sites in modern-day Iraq. The tablets were written in cuneiform — a language that had only recently been recovered and translated after 1,000 years of obscurity — and most of the fragments contained humdrum accounting records or opaque prophecies from palace priests.
But then Smith found something remarkable. As he translated the cuneiform word by word, a familiar story unfolded. There was a god punishing humanity with a catastrophic flood, one man who was chosen to survive using a specially constructed boat filled with animals and seeds, and after the flood, birds being released to find dry land.
This wasn't the story of Noah and the ark, though, and this wasn't the book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible (known to Christians as the Old Testament). What Smith had discovered was only one chapter in a sprawling Mesopotamian tale now known as the Epic of Gilgamesh, first written in 1,800 B.C.E., around 1,000 years before the Hebrew Bible.
"The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest tragic epic for which we have evidence," says Louise Pryke, an honorary research associate at the University of Sydney and author of "Gilgamesh," a deep analysis of the text and its influences on later works, from the Bible to Homer's "Odyssey." "It's something that's come to represent ancient Mesopotamia in modern culture."
When Smith first made the connection between the two flood stories in Gilgamesh and Genesis, legend says that he became so excited that he danced around the room removing his clothes. Smith's discovery shook the foundations of biblical scholarship by proposing that some, if not all, of the Hebrew Bible was borrowed from neighboring civilizations.
Pryke says that while the flood narrative in Genesis is clearly inspired by the tale in Gilgamesh, the similarities and differences in the ancient accounts can teach us important things about what these two cultures valued and their cosmic worldviews.

@cxarhomell5867 Sargon the Great, was the King of Akkadian around 2,300 BCE and had a similar basket beginning to the Jewish Moses.
Sargon was born as the illegitimate son of a priestess or low-class woman. In shame she secretly hid her child and then placed in a basket of reeds and floated him down a river where baby Sargon was found by a man and raised as his own son — only later to become a great King and leader. The similarities to the Moses story are uncanny.
But which story came first? The earliest copy of the Sargon story we have is from the 600s BCE found in the Library of Ashurbanipal. But the original story is much earlier, of course, passed on in oral tradition. Likewise, the oldest Hebrew Bible we have are the Dead Sea Scrolls with texts dated from 150 BCE to 70 CE but the stories were likely also written in the 600s. Due to all these stories being passed on orally for most likely centuries before their recording, and not knowing when the original recording took place, dating these events is very difficult. So, did they borrow from each other, or just use an obvious literary technique or, and this is unlikely, all just tell the truth about their founders. See my post illustrating models for how Greeks and Jews shared similar stories here.

@Yo Momma Oh!!! By the way.. I Almost forgot to lay THIS on you. Seeing how I was telling you how we vote POLICIES and not for orange man... Read it and weep................. Once elected, this President wasted no time fulfilling his pledge to nominate judges who put impartiality and independence above activism from the bench. On day one, the Trump Administration went to work with the Senate to fill crucial vacancies. Fast forward to now, and the result is nothing less than a historic transformation of the judiciary.
The American Founding was built on the idea of separation of powers, President Trump said today. “This system was designed to protect citizens against the unjust concentration of governmental power . . . [but] when judges assume the role of a legislature, the rights of all citizens are threatened.”
What that means today: “The impartial and objective judge, who is a faithful servant of the law, is essential to the survival of American liberty.”
In just three years, President Trump has nominated and had confirmed two Supreme Court justices, 44 Circuit Court judges, and 112 District Court judges. Today, that historic pace is only accelerating: The President is set to have more judges confirmed this year alone than in all of 2017 and 2018 combined.
The average age of these new circuit judges is less than 50 years old—a full 10 years younger than the average age of former President Obama’s circuit nominees. That fact is important. President Trump understands that appointing good, fair judges is one of the most important legacies a President can leave. And thanks to the extraordinary number of young, talented judges he’s selected, that legacy is likely to last for DECADES TO COME.
Even more important than how long judges serve, of course, is what they do once they get on the bench. President Trump has always nominated judges who have a proven track record of standing up for the rule of law as written, not as imagined.
This quote from President Trump’s speech today may be the most important: When judges write policy instead of applying the law, they impose sweeping changes on millions of Americans without the benefit of legislative debate, public rulemaking, or the consent of the governed. As a result, these highly political rulings inflict painful damage on our security, society, and economy—imposing unworkable edicts on businesses, workers, families, and law enforcement.
His promise: “I will do everything in my power to halt judicial activism, and to ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly, and without political prejudice for all of our citizens.”

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

Here's who lies... Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

Here's what she refuses to talk about...
Ted Cruz.... I’ve seen them, the Donna tent facility [in Texas], with over 4,000 people, with little boys and little girls on top of each other.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID-19 positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%. And all the Democrats who talked about this—if they don’t go, if they don’t denounce the Biden cages, then they’re telling you that they’re hypocrites, that they didn’t believe it when they said it, that they didn’t care about it when they said it, that it was all politics, it wasn’t about their kids.
Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who’s supposed to be the border czar, she’s supposed to be in charge of this, why won’t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.
And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say, “Nothing to see here.” Fifteen thousand Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, “Nothing to see here.”
Anyone want to know what Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor is? That’s the news. Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Never mind, when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river who died trying to cross illegally.
Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, “I won’t let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm, because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it’s dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.” Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at round tables how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.
You want to understand what’s happening, say there’s no crisis? Come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County, Brooks County in South Texas. It’s just north of the border.
Brooks County, over and over and over again, there [are] dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they’re not nice guys. They’re not humanitarians. They don’t give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain, in the summer heat.
And over and over again, the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property, where the traffickers have abandoned them. Mr. President, I ask you, is that humane? Is that compassionate, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policy that encourages, that puts people in harm’s way, and results in people dying?
When we were down on the border, we saw a young girl who had been gang-raped by the human traffickers who had brought her to America.
The rate of sexual assault is staggering, particularly among the girls and young women, so much so that a significant percentage of young women, before they take the harrowing trip with the traffickers, will implant a birth control because they know the odds of their being sexually assaulted are so great.
And I’ll tell you, as I was doing the round tables, one of the things I saw also was the colored wristbands. The traffickers are global cartels. They’re criminals. They’re vicious criminals. They charge anyone—a young man, a young woman, a little boy, a little girl—thousands of dollars, anywhere from three, four, five, six, seven, eight thousand dollars to cross into the United States.

@persian2378 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, .

This is the man in a skirt that us Americans have to deal with........................................................Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for "Bro culture" to come to an end and said all men need to become feminists and "shut down" one another's "negative conversations" in locker rooms.
"It's not only that men can be feminists, it's that men should be feminists as well," Trudeau said with a lisp Wednesday at a United Nations youth empowerment meeting in New York.
"'He for She' is a movement I hope you all of you go up and sign up for of men standing up for women, men shutting down some of those negative conversations that we get in locker rooms, in bro culture," he said.
"We need to know that we are better than that," Trudeau said. "How we treat our sisters, our girlfriends, our cousins, our mothers and the world around us matters. We need to take back what it is to be a man and that means being open, compassionate, respectful and brave about standing up for it." WANT A LAUGH???? https://youtu.be/XSe3vQCRXvI

@markrieck1048 Hmmm. 1) Can't attack the facts, so you attack the source. Typical. 2) Any comment IS COMMENTARY whether it contains FACTS to back up its OPINION or not. Any dummy knows that. 3) McConnell does not create tax policy, nor does he set it. Treasury does that. Duhh. Now, YOU FN adopted a handicapped child and now YOU want a handout from Joe public? YOU took on that burden, now you want some other poor bastard trying to raise HIS children to subsidize your path to Calvary? The 1% pay FORTY PERCENT of all taxes collected. The top 10% pay SEVENTY PERCENT, so that parasites like you can bad mouth them, even as they drain the system with free public services. Your idiotic analysis that Trump "gave" something to the wealthy, only points out your ignorance. He "RETURNED" some of their money, that goes into corporate buy backs, hiring, upgrading, and improving our entire business sector, while adding to a RECORD HIGH return for those middle class, saving for retirement. How? By STOCKS rising over 35%since Trump took office!! The LOWEST unemployment. The HIGHEST manufacturing, RISING wages, INCREASED labor participation rate, and the BEST business and consumer confidence that we've had in decades! All done with a HOSTILE Democrat party, relentless in their pursuit of FAKE CHARGES in an effort to overturn a public presidential election! Your taxes did not increase, you dope. You failed to make the payroll deduction that put MORE money into your paycheck, instead of receiving a LARGER year end tax return. It's IMPOSSIBLE for you to have a dependent child and have HIGHER taxes.

California and New York!! Barahahaha.. What a JOKE!! Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

@user78994 Yes, I am replying on my own. I am asking you to LISTEN to the basis of my facts. If you would listen, you would have my answer. Put simply.. A graph of CO2 as respects to temperature shows that throughout history, LONG LONG before the industrial age, the earth has seen increase and decrease in the levels of CO2. Mankind burning of fossil fuels do little to change that scenario. Again, let me explain to you.. it's not the rise in temperature that's in dispute.. it's the cause as well as the remedy that climate alarmists propose, that's the basis for the argument. FALSE and MISLEADING data, and a remedy that is a guise for SOCIAL CHANGE.
NOW.. It's a change of subject, but only for a minute... I once told a friend in a discussion that "cigarettes cause cancer" He said that that is not true! I said EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!! He, said.. no. if that were true then EVERYONE that smokes cigarettes WOULD GET cancer, which they don't. Cigarettes are a "contributing factor" to causing cancer, however.. there are MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS which can cause cancer. Think about that. Ask yourself how that relates to our discussion. Now, ask yourself if you're willing to remove the hand of those smoking cigarettes in order to keep them from smoking and thus getting cancer? https://youtu.be/7zk7Xfyv6k4

@user78994 I don't want to look at the doctored graphs. Didn't my video clearly explain that? 80k years is a blink of an eye in the age of the planet. Why the "last eighty thousand"?? Why not the last 250 thousand? Why not 300,000 as ice cores relate? It's because if they give ALL available data, your entire argument collapses!! Yes, I also understand how smoking affects ONE person, but it doesn't call for removing the hand, now does it? Nor does climate change call for a vast reorganization of our economy! Doesn't THAT affect more than one person as well?? Here's how it all works.. Bad liberal ie progressive policy causes bad consequences which the proponents NEVER get called to task for enabling. Then "drastic measures" are called for to "correct the problem". Make a list of what makes the American economy strong. All of its industry, technology, workers, etc... Now look at how each one is being attacked in order to "make a better world for us all"!! You have China building new coal plants, not only in China but around the world, and yet you want to insist on destroying our auto industry by pushing electric cars. But, don't use Nuclear... not oil... not natural gas... Let's fight "big solar". Sue to stop wind farms (Sierra club) and certainly not coal.. But, don't worry.. Let's move FAST on the climate crisis, because... time is running out!! Better hurry!! We can get some robots to produce those electric cars. They don't ask for higher wages. Let's send BILLIONS to third world countries to help them address Uhhhh. climate change. They can be trusted to spend the money wisely like OUR politicians. Better hurry!! Isn't this clear enough? Don't send links... tell me yourself where he's wrong... https://youtu.be/8455KEDitpU

@user78994 Well, let's think about it. When you have ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of Democrats from all over the country, voting in lockstep, poor districts, rich districts, North, South, Urban and Rural... WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK?? They don't vote their conscience, or what's based on facts. Like Communists, they are told how to vote by the PARTY and not by their constituents. Sine a and Manchin are SHOCKING to Democrats, because they disagree with spending trillions on BS handouts that send prices through the roof!! Then of course, the Dems will be complaining about how hard it is for the poor working class to feed his family!! Vote them OUT!!

@pkond1460 No, unlike other news media, we see and hear EVERYTHING, and we approve of everything our military does in the middle east. Everything. If Muslim parents celebrates the death of their child as a martyr, then why should I be sorry that we helped them become one? Do you cry for the Jews that have been killed? Do you cry for the American soldiers, THOUSANDS of them that died, trying to make Iraq a FREE country that is allowed to vote? Are you concerned about the women that are beaten by the Islamic police for small infractions in their hijab? Does that require you to have a bad heart as well? To put the blame on the USA, as the one responsible? How much land has been given by the Arabs for Palestinian settlements? How many tens of millions of dollars have the Muslims given like the USA does to the Palestinian authority? Are Jewish children treated in Muslim hospitals? You look at the situation with a cancerous eye that only sees what you want to see. Yes, I'm going to insult you! Because you slander the God works that the USA does as "creating wars". We didn't create Hitler. We didn't create Saddam Hussein, or Idi Amin. We don't throw rocks at Jews, or fire missiles at them.

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

@Gana1709 As I've said, you are misinformed in all of your statements. In 30 seconds, while searching for " how much does insulin cost" I found the following:
March 1, 2023, 8:00 AM EST / Updated March 1, 2023, 11:20 AM EST
By Berkeley Lovelace Jr.
Eli Lilly will cap the out-of-pocket cost of its insulin at $35 a month, the drugmaker said Wednesday. The move, experts say, could prompt other insulin makers in the U.S. to follow suit.
The change, which Eli Lilly said takes effect immediately, puts the drugmaker in line with a provision in the Inflation Reduction Act, which in January imposed a $35 monthly cap on the out-of-pocket cost of insulin for seniors enrolled in Medicare.
I don't believe that this "exploits" people! Now,as your case has already been rested, I believe now that you know the facts, that your case is dismissed. BTW..yoga is not a medicine or drug. Finally, if you would research what drug companies must spend and the years involved in bringing just one approved drug to market (many are not approved) you would understand the costs involved. Meanwhile, as I've stated Indian companies manufacture generic versions without authorization or payment and in doing so drive up the costs for everyone else. Again, you can learn more about this Indian theft by searching on line.

There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.

Yeah.... When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.
A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.
A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.
A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.
While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.
From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.

Here's what his supporters believe... Bernie Sanders
Money raised: $46,491,503.24
Vermont Sen Bernie Sanders, who fought Hillary Clinton to the end in the 2016 Democratic primary, has amassed more money than any other Democratic challenger by more than $10 million. The Bernie Sanders fundraising network recently pulled in more small donations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey than Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren combined, continuing its mastery of grassroots outreach.
Donald Trump
Money raised: $124,369,310.76
President Donald Trump has one thing none of his challengers can possibly match: the incumbency. The office of the presidency is a money magnet, and the Trump campaign has proved skillful in getting the president’s supporters to continue to dig deep. Only three Democratic challengers have raised more than $30 million. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, announced in April that his presidential election campaign fund already had raised $30 million — after just a single quarter of fundraising.

@jamesstone102 No one would have believed you!! I grew up in a Democrat family and vote fraud was a common legend around our house. Here's how they work in Trumps case. You have predictable red, predictable blue. Forget them. The battleground states are what matter. In those states, Demon rats outnumber the Republicans by a factor of two or three. But, past elections let the Democrats win by 1,2, or 3 percent. Those are the districts within that state that you target. Just enough to push the tally over a few percent. Could be a matter of a few hundred votes. But, they don't deliver the fake ballots unless the count is in peril. They "deliver" the votes at the last minute. Don't forget the post office too! They can accidentally lose a few hundred ballots from Republican strongholds. Now don't forget that there's ballot harvesting too. Visit the old folks home and give them a good scare about those evil Republicans and how they want to take away their social security check! Hundreds of votes there! If the Republicans moan and complain, just cry voter suppression, and call your liberal leftists in the media. They learn these tactics from Chicago and have refined them from Maduro in Venezuela. Remember, you have Harvard, Yale and other leftist colleges to guide your propoganda campaign with their expertise. Spread lies, rumors, fake news, recruit Google. It worked like a charm!!

Yes, just ONE MORE nightmare right around the corner. Fire ants, Franken fish, feral pigs, extinct species, doomsday comets, Super volcano's, drought, floods, starvation, chemical poisoning, civil war, economic collapse, Coronal mass ejection, terrorism, Democrats in power, and antibiotic resistant infections.

@iayu7918 CRIMINALS ARRESTED EVERY DAY.... Ji Chaoqun, 27, a Chinese citizen residing in Chicago, was arrested in Chicago today for allegedly acting within the United States as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China.
The arrest and complaint were announced by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch, Jr. for the Northern District of Illinois, and Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey S. Sallet of the FBI’s Chicago field office.
Ji worked at the direction of a high-level intelligence officer in the Jiangsu Province Ministry of State Security, a provincial department of the Ministry of State Security for the People’s Republic of China, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Ji was tasked with providing the intelligence officer with biographical information on eight individuals for possible recruitment by the JSSD, the complaint states. The individuals included Chinese nationals who were working as engineers and scientists in the United States, some of whom were U.S. defense contractors, according to the complaint.
The complaint charges Ji with one count of knowingly acting in the United States as an agent of a foreign government without prior notification to the Attorney General. He will make an initial court appearance today at 5:00 p.m. EDT (4:00 p.m. CDT) before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael T. Mason in Courtroom 2266 of the Everett M. Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago.
According to the complaint, Ji was born in China and arrived in the United States in 2013 on an F1 Visa, for the purpose of studying electrical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. In 2016, Ji enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as an E4 Specialist under the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI) program, which authorizes the U.S. Armed Forces to recruit certain legal aliens whose skills are considered vital to the national interest. In his application to participate in the MAVNI program, Ji specifically denied having had contact with a foreign government within the past seven years, the complaint states. In a subsequent interview with a U.S. Army officer, Ji again failed to disclose his relationship and contacts with the intelligence officer, the charge alleges.

@enna371 China is very aware of the strength of the movement for Tibet's freedom. Inside Tibet, it uses repression and violence against that movement. Outside China, it uses propaganda.
These are the six key arguments in the Tibet sovereignty debate, which China relies on to justify its continued occupation of Tibet.
Read on to discover what China says versus the truth.
1. CHINA SAYS: TIBET IS PART OF CHINA
China's argument:
Tibet was absorbed about 800 years ago during the Yuan Dynasty, becoming an inseparable part of China. It has not been a country since and no country has ever recognised Tibet as an independent state.
The facts:
It’s true that whilst Tibet maintained a unique culture, written and spoken language, religion and political system for centuries, it has never been a nation-state in the modern sense of the word.
At times in its long past, Tibet has influenced and been influenced by various foreign powers, including Britain and the Mongols, as well as China.
However, the Chinese government’s claim that Tibet has been part of China for around 800 years isn't supported by the facts.
Tibet was not ruled by the Chinese government prior to the 1950 invasion. In 1912, the 13th Dalai Lama - Tibet's political and spiritual leader - issued a proclamation reaffirming Tibet’s independence and the country maintained its own national flag, currency, stamps, passports and army. It signed international treaties and maintained diplomatic relations with neighbouring countries.
From a legal point of view Tibet remains an independent state under illegal occupation, a fact that China wishes it could whitewash from history.

@enna371 2. CHINA SAYS: OLD TIBET WAS BACKWARDS AND NEEDED CHINA TO LIBERATE IT
China's argument:
From 1950 to 1959 China peacefully liberated and democratically reformed Tibet, ending the old feudal serfdom where brutality was rife; a hell on earth with the backwards masses enslaved by landlords and priests. This culminated in Serf Emancipation Day in March 1959 when the Tibetan government was declared illegal.
The facts:
In 1950, the newly established Communist regime in China invaded Tibet, which was rich in natural resources and had a strategically important border with India.
With 40,000 Chinese troops in its country, the Tibetan government was forced to sign the "Seventeen Point Agreement" which recognised China's rule in return for promises to protect Tibet's political system and Tibetan Buddhism.
Far from welcoming the Chinese as liberators, Tibetans across the country continued to resist China’s armed forces and China responded with widespread brutality.
Resistance culminated on the 10th of March 1959, when 300,000 Tibetans surrounded the Potala Palace to offer the Dalai Lama protection. This date is commemorated as National Uprising Day by Tibetans and supporters.
In 1950, many states that are today stable democracies were undemocratic and did not respect human rights. The 14th Dalai Lama was a teenager when his country was invaded and was never able to govern Tibet independently. In exile, he has won the Nobel Peace Prize and has entirely democratised the exiled Tibetan government. In contrast, the Chinese government continues to have no democratic authority.
China claims that its vision of a brutal past justifies its occupation. But Tibet under Chinese rule has experienced brutality on a massive scale – from the destruction of thousands of monasteries and the deaths more than one million Tibetans in Mao’s era, to torture, arbitrary arrests and the denial of fundamental freedoms today

@enna371 The facts:
China’s propaganda images, like this one, are designed to show how happy Tibetans are. This couldn't be further from the truth, with Tibetans left disadvantaged in their own country. For example:
Infrastructure projects enable the movement of China’s military, mass immigration of Chinese workers, Chinese tourism and access to Tibet’s rich resources. They enforce China’s control.
Economic growth benefits Chinese businesses and workers, and the booming tourism industry aims to legitimise the Chinese government’s occupation.
Millions of Tibetan nomads have been forced from their lands, ending their centuries-old way of life and leaving them dependent on the state as second class citizens in their own country.
Education is primarily taught in Chinese, disadvantaging Tibetans who can only learn their mother tongue as a second language.
The United Nations has repeatedly challenged China on human rights abuses in Tibet, including finding Tibet the worst area for child malnutrition in China.
Since March 2011, more than 130 people have set themselves on fire inside Tibet in protest against China's repression.
From shouting “Tibet needs freedom” in the street to attending a mass protest, Tibetans resist China’s policies daily. Despite more than 60 years of occupation this resistance to China remains undiminished and widespread.
Tibet has seen economic progress, as have most countries in the last sixty years, but Tibetans have benefited less than Chinese immigrants. Economic progress has not deterred them from rejecting Chinese rule and the evidence shows that Tibetans are far from “happy” under China’s rule

Media are almost completely banned from Xinjiang so getting first-hand reports is very difficult. However, we've managed to visit the region a number of times and seen evidence of camps and an intense police presence at every level. Officers carried out checks for sensitive material on people's phones.
We've also obtained satellite images that appeared to show at least 44 high-security buildings that had been erected in Xinjiang in recent years.

Image copyrightBBC
One Uighur man who was released from detention in 2015 (no-one appears to be freed these days) told us of a punishing schedule inside.
Ablet Tursun Tohti said those detained would be woken before dawn and would be forced to learn laws, and sing a song entitled Without the Communist Party, there can be no new China.
The BBC's Newsnight programme also interviewed former prisoners who were able to leave for other countries. Here is what one of them, Omir, said:
"They wouldn't let me sleep, they would hang me up for hours and would beat me. They had thick wooden and rubber batons, whips made from twisted wire, needles to pierce the skin, pliers for pulling out the nails. All these tools were displayed on the table in front of me, ready to use at any time. And I could hear other people screaming as well."

Ken Hudson YeaaH, Ken and you're schmart too. Indeed we should have a half breed community organizer that drove business out of our country with his assinine globalist policies. A guy who was BELOVED by other nations since he was their CHUMP, and did an effective job of putting Americans and American taxpayers on the shit end of the toilet stick. He worked better than Putin at choking off business, employment, and economic growth with his environmental nonsense generated with a big payola for leftist "research" grants. Yeah. Trump, he's really dumb. He became a billionaire by being a community organizer, a person that teaches the scum how to game the system, for easy money. His entire history is littered with gifts to the poor, and philanthropy, will the GREAT ONES like Burn-----eeeee donate a whopping 4% of their million dollar salary to charity. A shame that he got us out of KYOTO that had the other nations howling with delight, as it's dictates we're mandatory for us, yet on a "we'll see" basis for India and China, the biggest polluters. Yeah. Think global. Don't think us, our country, my neighbor, our poor. THATS BAD!! Being white is bad. Being a man is bad, hating the slaughter of the unborn is bad, being a proud American is bad. There's nothing "exceptional" about the USA. Our system is greedy. Make the "welty" pay (like they tried in New York) fight big business (Like AOC in NY). FREE for everybody. Let's open the borders, give THEM FREE TOO. That Trump he's SCHTOOPID. Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!! Wheeee!!

Why is Turkey there in Syria?? Politicians and journalists[who?] who were skeptical of the authenticity of the coup plot claimed that in reality, a 'civil coup' had effectively been staged against the Armed Forces and Judiciary, both of which were extensively purged of alleged Gülen supporters by the government shortly after the events. Skeptics argued that the coup would be used as an excuse for further erosion of judicial independence and a crackdown on the opposition, essentially giving the AKP greater and unstoppable power over all state institutions and paving the way for a more radical Islamist agenda at odds with the founding principles of the Turkish Republic.[339]
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ said in late July 2016 that Turkish social media users who accused the government of staging the coup faced investigation: "Just look at the people who are saying on social media that this was theatre. Public prosecutors are already investigating them. Most of them are losers who think it is an honour to die for Fethullah Gülen's command."[340]
On 12 July 2017, Stockholm Center for Freedom, a monitoring group that tracks Turkey, published a controversial 181-pages report asserting that the coup bid was in fact orchestrated by President Erdogan as a false flag in order to consolidate his powers, set up his opposition for a mass persecution, and push Turkish Armed Forces into a military incursion into Syria. According to the report, it uncovered new evidence from 11 July 2016, four days before the planned coup bid, that a secret plan was circulated among select group of Armed Forces to give an appearance of a coup attempt. The plan was sanctioned by intelligence and military chiefs with the approval of Erdogan.[341]

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

You're nuts! The Chinese are CONTINUALLY using their weight to influence votes at the UN, and meddle in other governments around the world! The Russians and Chinese will try desperately to use the pipeline as a weapon, as R has done MANY TIMES in the past. The first time, Russia angers China, the gas will be cut off. You see it now with American soybeans! China is angry at Canada right now. Do you think they're sitting back doing nothing? China suspended its bilateral trade deal with Norway and restricted imports of Norwegian salmon when the Nobel peace prize was awarded to political prisoner Liu Xiaobo in 2010. Britain and other countries were retaliated against over meetings with the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, considered a dangerous separatist by Beijing, and in 2014, a Canadian couple was detained in northeastern China and charged with espionage following Canada’s arrest of a man accused of stealing U.S. aviation secrets for China.
Analysts say they have little doubt Kovrig and Spavor’s cases are related to Meng’s, and the handing down of tougher sentences on appeal is rare enough to arouse suspicion.
“This really hurts China” and its efforts to promote its influence around the world, said David Zweig, a Canadian who directs the Center on China’s Transnational Relations at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
“Xi Jinping has been talking so much about promoting soft power … I certainly think that it hurts China’s soft power and its argument that it supports the rule of law,” Zweig said.

while they have you watching this, nonsense.. here's the Democrats in action......
When police arrested Zul Mirza Mohamed on suspicion of voter fraud Wednesday night, prosecutors say, the candidate for mayor in Carrollton, Texas, was stuffing envelopes with mail-in ballot applications to send to Dallas County.
However, Texas state and local law enforcement officials allege that Mohamed’s illicit activities ran far deeper than what he was caught in the act doing.
Prosecutors charged Mohamed, 39, with 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot, the Texas Attorney General’s Office said.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Argus He lost because the Democrat National Committee knew that once in the national spotlight, Bernie and his Bolshevik past would be exposed. He has little to no support in Congress and since he never declared himself a Democrat, he was left behind by the "next in line" Hillary, that they were grooming for the Presidency. Bernie supporters can't wrap their head around the fact that your average working man, blue and white collar, want no part of Bernie and his socialist ideas.
In 1998, then Representative Bernie Sanders cosponsored and actively ushered a bill through Congress that would allow Vermont and Maine to dump their nuclear waste in the poor disadvantaged Hispanic community of Sierra Blanca, Texas.
Three West Texan protestors went to Vermont to plead with then Representative Sanders that the dump site shouldn't be located in this poor minority community, Mr. Sanders told the three activists, "My position is unchanged and you’re not going to like it.” When asked if he would at least visit the proposed site in Sierra Blanca, he said: “Absolutely not. I'm gonna to be running for re-election in the state of Vermont."
“He didn't listen,” Curry said. “He had his mind made up."

In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

@shanemontgomery1358 OK.. that's a great idea. But first, let me tell you TWO ways. One that I expected to happen, the other what I personally would have liked to have happen. Got that? So, they break in and have the joint session of congress trapped in Chambers. They barricade the door, and insist that Pelozi, Schumer, McConnell, and other TOP leaders come out and listen to their demands for a FULL and IMPARTIAL investigation of this last election. They insist on a full forensic audit of all votes in the disputed states. The leaders agree and everyone shakes hands and goes home.. Now what do I want? I want the Democrats, and RINO's brought out where they can be placed before a newly established peoples court, much the same as the French revolution. Those judged guilty will be escorted to the guillotine for final adjudication. Congress will now be in session. No appeals, no delays. Now isn't that what they do to UNBORN BABIES?? Only difference being the type of blade used is different, and the cries of the little ones are ignored while the Democrats cries bring applause.
Does that answer your question?

The economy has been red hot since President Donald J. Trump took office. That’s great news on its own. But even better is that not all booms are created equal—and the blue-collar Trump Economy is paying off for exactly the working Americans who need it most.
Last year, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett reported that blue-collar jobs grew at their fastest pace since 1984. And now, “after years of job losses, U.S. manufacturing employment has risen for 18 straight months among those holding production or nonsupervisory jobs, the longest stretch of gains since the mid-1990s,” The Wall Street Journal wrote this month.
More good news today: “Real wages for American families are soaring,” the White House Council of Economic Advisers reported this morning. Hourly earnings rose by 1.9 percent in the past 12 months—far exceeding even last year’s pace.
Complementing those rising wages is a significant drop in prices. American families are paying less at the pump as gasoline prices fell 9.1 percent during the past year. And in keeping with a major promise from President Trump, last month saw the biggest year-over-year decline in prescription drug costs since 1972.
February’s jobs report, released Friday, revealed that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent last month, remaining near a 50-year low.
Behind these numbers is a renewal of hope among working-class families and blue-collar communities across the heartland. Nearly 70 percent of Americans told Gallup they expect their personal financial situation to be even better next year. Their employers are optimistic, too. On average, a stunning 91.8 percent of manufacturers feel positive about their companies’ future growth under President Trump, compared with an average of 68.6 percent during the last two years of the Obama Administration.

Jing Hu No Chinese slavery? Is that true, puppet of the Communists? ...... Shang dynasty (second millennium BC)Edit
Slavery was not a common sight in the Shang dynasty but still occurred.[8]
Warring States Period (475–221 BC)Edit
The Warring States period saw a decline in slavery which had been popular in the previous centuries. The slave system had shifted to a feudal system, despite this, slavery was still widespread during the period, despite being on the decline.[9] Since the introduction of private ownership of land in the state of Lu in 594 BC, which brought a system of taxation on private land, and saw the emergence of a system of landlords and peasants, the system of slavery began to decline over the following centuries, as other states followed suit.
Qin dynasty (221–206 BC)Edit
Qin slaves were subject to forced labor, for projects such as the Terracotta Army.[10] The Qin government confiscated the property and enslaved the families of those who became slaves as punishment.[11]
[12]
Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD)Edit
Further information: Society and culture of the Han dynasty
One of Emperor Gao's first acts was to manumitagricultural workers enslaved during the Warring States period, although domestic servants retained their status.[1]
Men punished with castration during the Han dynastywere also used as slave labor.[13]
Deriving from earlier Legalist laws, the Han dynasty set in place rules that the property and families of criminals doing three years of hard labor or sentenced to castration were to have their families seized and kept as property by the government.[14]
Xin dynasty (9–23 AD)Edit
In the year AD 9, the Emperor Wang Mang usurped the Chinese throne and instituted a series of sweeping reforms, including the abolition of slavery and radical land reform. Slavery was reinstated in AD 12 before his assassination in AD 23[15][16]
Three Kingdoms (220–280 AD)Edit
During the Three Kingdoms period, a number of statuses intermediate between freedom and slavery developed, but none of them is thought to have exceeded 1 percent of the population.[1]
Tang dynasty (618–907 AD)Edit

A contract from the Tang dynasty that records the purchase of a 15-year-old slave for six bolts of plain silk and five Chinese coins.
Tang Law held that free people could not be enslaved, and slaves who were sold had to be previously held as slaves in order to be sold legally. A large amount of slave trading took place on Silk Road markets during this time; there are several examples of Sogdian slave girls being sold by Sogdian merchants to Chinese.[17]
Chinese law segregated slaves and freemen into different classes, and slaves were classified as criminals. Only criminals and foreigners were allowed to be enslaved in China. Sexual relationships between foreign slaves and Chinese women were banned.[18]
After executing the men, Tang dynasty armies enslaved captive women.[19]
Persians were kidnapped by pirates and kept in captivity on Wan-an, Hainan island, before being sold. Samanids in Transoxania sold Turks to the Chinese.[20]
Free Chinese could not be legally sold as slaves unless they willingly sold themselves. If they did not sell themselves, the person who sold them could be executed. However, all other peoples were subject to involuntary enslavement. The largest number of slaves came from Southern tribes, such as Thais and other aboriginals from the newly dominated regions of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Guizhou; young slave girls were the most desired resulting in a massive market for them, but Chinese officials denounced it and attempted to ban it, to no effect. Kong Kui, the governor of Guangdong, banned the practice of selling native women in 817.[21] Other peoples sold to Chinese included Turks, Persians, and Korean women, who were sought after by the wealthy.[22][20] China suffered from shortages of women for marriage in part due to the practice of female infanticide, which led to Chinese pirates raiding coastal villages and kidnapping Korean women to sell in Chinese slave markets at a lucrative price.[23] Their captives were sold in Shandong, China. The Chinese Governor of Shandong banned the trade in 692.[20][24]
Many indigenous Chinese, Malay and Black African slaves were also sold to the Chinese. Their skin was noted to be dark, their hair wavy or curly.[20]
Tang law considered slaves to be chattel without rights as people. Free women could not marry male slaves.[25]
Song dynasty (960–1279 AD)Edit
Further information: Jingkang Incident
The Song's warfare against northern and western neighbors produced many captives on both sides, but reforms were introduced to ease the transition from bondage to freedom.[1]
Yuan dynasty (1271–1368 AD)Edit
The Yuan dynasty implemented an expansion of slavery in the whole country and restored harsher terms of service.[1] Some research consider that since the Chinese were more integrated into the culture, such "slaves" often proved so invaluable they came to possess a great deal of power themselves, including slaves of their own.[4] During insurrections and slave revolts, such disloyalty often led to their property being targeted first, even before the Mongols' themselves.[4]
Korean girls kept as servants during the Yuan dynasty by "Northerners" which was recorded in a historic text.[26][27] The Caomuzi (草木子) by Ye Ziqi (葉子奇) which was cited by the Jingshi ouji (京師偶記引) by Chai Sang (柴桑) stated that during the Yuan dynasty that Korean girls were a must have property for northerners. (元朝北人，女使必得高麗)[28][29] Korean women were viewed as having "jade snow" like skin (肌膚玉雪發雲霧) by Hao Jingceng 郝經曾, a Yuan scholar, and it was the rage to own Korean women among northerners in the Yuan dynasty as mentioned in Toghon Temür's (shùndì 順帝) Xù Zīzhì Tōngjiàn (續資治通鑒): (京师达官贵人，必得高丽女，然后为名家).[30][31]
In the process of the Mongols invasion of China proper, many Han Chinese were enslaved by the Mongols rulers.[32] According to Japanese historian Sugiyama Masaaki (杉山正明) and Funada Yoshiyuki (舩田善之), there were also certain number of Mongolian slaves owned by Han Chinese during Yuan. Moreover, there is no evidence that Han Chinese, who were considered people of the bottom of Yuan society by some research, were suffered a particularly cruel abuse.[33][34]
Ming dynasty (1368–1644 AD)Edit
Upon his victory over the Yuan dynasty in 1368, China's Hongwu Emperor established the Ming dynasty and sought to abolish all forms of slavery.[1] However, in practice, slavery continued through the Ming dynasty.[1]
The Javans sent 300 black slaves as tribute to the Ming dynasty in 1381.[35] When the Ming dynastycrushed the Miao Rebellions in 1460, they castrated1,565 Miao boys, which resulted in the deaths of 329 of them, they were then turned into eunuch slaves. The Guizhou Governor who ordered the castration of the Miao was reprimanded and condemned by Emperor Yingzong of Ming for doing it once the Ming government heard of the event.[36][37] Since 329 of the boys died, even more were needed to be castrated.[38]On 30 Jan 1406, the Ming Yongle Emperor expressed horror when the Ryukyuans castrated some of their own children to become eunuchs in order to give them to Yongle. Yongle said that the boys who were castrated were innocent and didn't deserve castration, and he returned the boys to Ryukyu and instructed them not to send eunuchs again.[39]
Later Ming rulers, as a way of limiting slavery because of their inability to prohibit it, passed a decree that limited the number of slaves that could be held per household and extracted a severe tax from slave owners.[1]
Qing dynasty (1644–1912 AD)Edit
The Qing dynasty initially oversaw an expansion in slavery and states of bondage like the booi aha.[4] They possessed about two million slaves upon their conquest of China.[1] However, like previous dynasties, the Qing rulers soon saw the advantages of phasing out slavery, and gradually introduced reforms turning slaves and serfs into peasants.[1] Laws passed in 1660 and 1681 forbade landowners from selling slaves with the land they farmed and prohibited physical abuse of slaves by landowners.[1] The Kangxi Emperor freed all the Manchu's hereditary slaves in 1685.[1] The Yongzheng Emperor's "Yongzheng emancipation" between 1723 and 1730 sought to free all slaves to strengthen his authority through a kind of social leveling that created an undifferentiated class of free subjects under the throne, freeing the vast majority of slaves.[1]
The abolition of slavery in many countries following the British emancipation led to increasing demands for cheap Chinese laborers, known as "coolies". Mistreatment ranged from the near-slave conditions maintained by some crimps and traders in the mid-1800s in Hawaii and Cuba to the relatively dangerous tasks given to the Chinese during the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad in the 1860s.[4]
Among his other reforms, Taiping Rebellion leader Hong Xiuquan abolished slavery and prostitution in the territory under his control in the 1850s and 1860s.[4]

Free Thinker No, my idea is to allow the market place to set its own wages. There's not ONE THING that government does that is with excellence. Not one. Waste fraud, abuse, and incompetence in everything they touch. Let the business people make business decisions. If there are NO JOBS AVAILABLE (there are lots now) then step in with a safety net. Now if you would stop preaching the party line of the wealthy not paying their fair share and get the FACTS you wouldn't think the way you do. What are they? First, the poor pay NO TAXES NOW. Second, Google who pays the most tax... You'll see that the TOP TEN percent pay SEVENTY percent of all federal taxes collected. Finally, leftist morons that say corporations pay little to no tax, don't understand that it's "income" tax that they are citing. Corporations pay MANY, MANY, taxes of all types. In fact it's stockholders pay TWICE. The middle class, just got one of the biggest tax cuts ever. Job growth has just rocketed. Black unemployment is at its lowest. Companies are moving BACK to the US. All because of Trump.

John W And AGAIN you keep spreading lies... HERE are the facts..... When Seattle officials voted three years ago to incrementally boost the city's minimum wage up to $15 an hour, they'd hoped to improve the lives of low-income workers. Yet according to a major new study that could force economists to reassess past research on the issue, the hike has had the opposite effect.
The city is gradually increasing the hourly minimum to $15 over several years. Already, though, some employers have not been able to afford the increased minimums. They've cut their payrolls, putting off new hiring, reducing hours or letting their workers go, the study found.
The costs to low-wage workers in Seattle outweighed the benefits by a ratio of three to one, according to the study, conducted by a group of economists at the University of Washington who were commissioned by the city. The study, published as a working paper Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, has not yet been peer reviewed.
On the whole, the study estimates, the average low-wage worker in the city lost $125 a month because of the hike in the minimum.

John W More crying!!!..... What would happen if the minimum wage laws were repealed? Would businesses pay their employees a penny an hour?
If raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would be good for the economy, wouldn't raising it to $20 be better? If not, at what point are the good economic effects of a minimum wage outweighed by the bad?
Answer:
If minimum wage laws were repealed, the vast majority of U.S. workers would not have their wages impacted. Through supply and demand, competitive market forces drive up the wage rates of most workers to levels considerably above the current federal minimum rate of $7.25 an hour (or the somewhat higher minimums imposed by many states). Given their options, most workers are not willing to supply their labor for $7.25 an hour, let alone for a penny an hour. Still, some nonworkers would be happy to work for some amount between a penny and $7.25 an hour if given the opportunity. The question is whether such opportunities should be restricted by law.
While there is room for reasonable debate, historically most economists (regardless of political persuasion) believe that well-intended minimum wage laws tend to be counterproductive to improving the wellbeing of low-wage workers – especially compared with alternative policies like expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit. If a firm perceives that certain employees are not productive enough to warrant the higher mandated wage, these employees may find themselves out of a job – or not hired in the first place.
From the public’s perspective, minimum wage laws are usually seen as a vehicle for redistributing some of a company’s profits back to its workers at the low end of the wage distribution. In this context, the question is whether society is better served when an extra dollar of profit goes to a company’s executives (or shareholders) or instead is redirected to its low-wage workers. Given how difficult it is to live on $7.25 an hour – and how easy it is to live on an executive’s pay – it might seem only right to insist that employers pay at least a “living wage” (or “fair wage”) such that hard-working employees can make ends meet.
But this perspective implicitly assumes that the minimum wage job will still be available (and at the same number of hours), after the minimum wage is increased – businesses will absorb at least most of the costs in the form of lower profits. From a practical perspective, however, the difficulty is that minimum wage mandates are not coupled with mandates on how many workers will be hired in prosperous times or let go during downturns. Raising the price of low-skill labor tends to make firms less interested in hiring low-skill labor. Generally speaking, the higher the minimum wage, the greater the incentive for companies to substitute away from low-skill labor to relatively cheaper inputs including automated technology.
As with most policies, there are winners and losers. Workers who retain their jobs will get a raise as the policy intends. Even small raises are very welcome for low-income workers. Boosting the minimum wage can also mean slightly higher wages further up the wage distribution (a so-called “ripple effect” in the internal wage structure) to maintain employee morale. Moreover, this extra income to low-wage workers is likely to be immediately spent, so it can even lead to a mild short-run stimulative effect on the economy. But for the unlucky workers, it can instead mean losing their jobs because they are viewed as not producing enough revenue to justify their higher mandated wage. For these former employees, the effective “minimum wage” turns out to be zero, not their old $7.25 rate, nor the proposed $10.10 they were expecting to receive. Among other unintended consequences, higher input prices of labor may also translate into higher prices of goods and services which disproportionately harms the poor.
With some notable exceptions (see, e.g., Card and Krueger, American Economic Review, 1994 and AER comment by Neumark and Wascher, 2000), the vast majority of economic studies in the last 75 years conclude that minimum wage laws, while boosting some workers’ wages, have at least some dampening effect on employment. A recent (February 2014) report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) highlights this tradeoff. On the plus side, the CBO estimates that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would lift 900,000 families out of poverty and increase the incomes of 16.5 million low-wage workers. On the negative side, they estimate that the proposed wage hike would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers over the next two years (with considerable uncertainty about these numbers).
Some additional points are worth keeping in mind. First, most minimum wage jobs in the U.S. are entry-level positions. These jobs, while low paying, can be critically important in helping young or otherwise less-skilled workers learn new skills on the job, establish professional track records, and eventually move up the ladder. A reduction in the availability of entry-level jobs makes it more difficult for disadvantaged workers to gain traction in the labor force. Some will instead end up receiving income support through government transfer programs despite preferring to work.
More generally, one should be skeptical about the effectiveness of minimum wage laws in ameliorating poverty. There is only a loose relationship between working in a minimum wage job and living in (or near) poverty. Based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about half of all workers paid the minimum wage are teenagers or young adults under the age of 25, most of whom live in households with incomes far above the poverty line. To be sure, older workers earning the minimum wage are more likely to be struggling financially. Still, many are not poor. For example, many minimum wage workers are secondary earners in relatively high-income households.
If the objective is to reduce poverty, minimum wage laws (even if effective) are thought to be less “target efficient” than policies designed to directly subsidize the income of poor households – e.g., through tax credits, such as expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, or in-kind transfers such as food assistance or subsidized health insurance. From the public’s perspective, such programs cost money while a hike in the minimum wage appears to be free. Measuring true costs, of course, is more complicated than measuring the number of dollars spent on a program; mandatory wage increases are not free.

John W Yeah, they challenge MY NARROW MINDED VIEW!! HAHAHA... The Economic Policy Institute (EcPI) calls itself a “nonprofit, nonpartisan” think tank. But behind its façade of political balance lays an agenda-driven organization. EcPI has roots in radical leftist politics, and it receives a large portion of its funding from organized labor. EcPI‘s donors have on at least one occasion been allowed to review its research prior to publication.
The Economic Policy Institute was founded in 1986 by Jeff Faux, who was previously the co-director of the National Center for Economic Alternatives (NCEA). As its name suggests, the NCEA specialized in offering “alternatives”—alternatives characterized as “radical” in The New York Times—to mainstream U.S. domestic policy.
NCEA‘s co-director was Gar Alperovitz, now a University of Maryland professor and author of America Beyond Capitalism. Prior to working at the NCEA, Alperovitz co-authored the essay collection Strategy and Program: Two Essays Toward a New American Socialism, where he advocated using socialist ideas to make the United States a “fairer” nation.
Together, Faux and Alperovitz advocated reindustrialization, a scheme that required a national committee to review and guide the re-development of selected major industries in the United States. One professor at Columbia University, writing in The New York Times, called their ideas “a poorly disguised version of national planning.”
At NCEA, Faux and Alperovitz promoted public ownership of energy, defense, and transportation corporations, and economic planning handled through local councils. Over time, they envisioned the replacement of large U.S. corporations with new institutions directly accountable to the public.

John W Get your head screwed on straight. Wise up. Stop letting everyone know what a dummy you are, not to mention out if step with reality.... Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.
In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.
A pyramid scheme is ultimately unsustainable because it is based on faulty principles. Likewise, collectivism is unsustainable in the long run because it is a flawed theory. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives.
In a capitalist economy, incentives are of the utmost importance. Market prices, the profit-and-loss system of accounting, and private property rights provide an efficient, interrelated system of incentives to guide and direct economic behavior. Capitalism is based on the theory that incentives matter!
Under socialism, incentives either play a minimal role or are ignored totally. A centrally planned economy without market prices or profits, where property is owned by the state, is a system without an effective incentive mechanism to direct economic activity. By failing to emphasize incentives, socialism is a theory inconsistent with human nature and is therefore doomed to fail. Socialism is based on the theory that incentives don’t matter!
In a radio debate several months ago with a Marxist professor from the University of Minnesota, I pointed out the obvious failures of socialism around the world in Cuba, Eastern Europe, and China. At the time of our debate, Haitian refugees were risking their lives trying to get to Florida in homemade boats. Why was it, I asked him, that people were fleeing Haiti and traveling almost 500 miles by ocean to get to the “evil capitalist empire” when they were only 50 miles from the “workers’ paradise” of Cuba?
The Marxist admitted that many “socialist” countries around the world were failing. However, according to him, the reason for failure is not that socialism is deficient, but that the socialist economies are not practicing “pure” socialism. The perfect version of socialism would work; it is just the imperfect socialism that doesn’t work. Marxists like to compare a theoretically perfect version of socialism with practical, imperfect capitalism which allows them to claim that socialism is superior to capitalism.
If perfection really were an available option, the choice of economic and political systems would be irrelevant. In a world with perfect beings and infinite abundance, any economic or political system–socialism, capitalism, fascism, or communism–would work perfectly.
However, the choice of economic and political institutions is crucial in an imperfect universe with imperfect beings and limited resources. In a world of scarcity it is essential for an economic system to be based on a clear incentive structure to promote economic efficiency. The real choice we face is between imperfect capitalism and imperfect socialism. Given that choice, the evidence of history overwhelmingly favors capitalism as the greatest wealth-producing economic system available.
The strength of capitalism can be attributed to an incentive structure based upon the three Ps: (1) prices determined by market forces, (2) a profit-and-loss system of accounting and (3) private property rights. The failure of socialism can be traced to its neglect of these three incentive-enhancing components.

Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.

Here's the FACTS.... There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.

Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.
Stand in the sun? Comon man! You can't possibly be that dumb now can you? What do you pick cotton for a living? Stand in the sun?? Where? On my Caribbean vacation where I get waited on by.... ahem... We won't go there. Just let's have you Google "diseases that only black people get" and get back to me. Then we'll talk about the TRILLIONS of dollars sent to the motherland to feed the dark hordes. You know you can't last a month without feeding off the white teat!!

In New York, more than 5,800 nursing home residents have died in connection to COVID-19, the most in the country.
On March 25, New York officials ordered nursing homes to admit infected patients, if medically stable. Then, as deaths mounted inside the facilities, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy on May 10 under pressure from advocates and relatives.
In contrast, Florida, which never ordered nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, reported 1043 nursing home resident deaths as of May 22, despite having more of the elderly care facilities than New York.

Cash is not and should not be used as a store of wealth. It's a medium of transfer and nothing more. If I hold dollars, someone else determines their value, just like stocks. However, if I transfer the dollars into real estate, farms, business, or another income producing medium, then I can be protected from currency manipulation. How? Because, I can set the rent, grow the potatoes, or cut the hair and thus determine the value of the goods or service. When I'm paid, I quickly transfer that cash into more stores of wealth. It doesn't matter to me if the federal reserve devalues the currency by a thousand fold. I will charge a thousand times more for rent, potatoes, or a haircut. If no one has the money to buy my offerings, then I'm left with a building, a farm, and a hair salon. That's where the wealth lies. Not in pieces of paper that OTHER people determine the value of.

@rarauhd OK.. I will answer. NO. Trump has done a fantastic job. In the beginning when CHINA LIED TO HIM saying it would not transmit person to person, he BELIEVED THEM. Yes, because it IS LIKE THE FLU. In fact, more died from the flu than the WUHAN virus. Yes, Trump said to use a "type of disinfectant" and to use light INSIDE the body, and BOTH have been proven correct. No, Trump is playing NO GAMES. He is placing blame WHERE IT BELONGS from the Communist criminals at Wuhan that lied and covered up their crime, allowing NO inspections. China in focus provides PROOF of the virus origin. PROOF of the arrest of the doctor PROOF that Chinese lied to the WHO. PROOF that they allowed flights OUT of China, while closing Wuhan to contain the virus. WE KNOW YOU LIE. WE KNOW YOU CHEAT. WE KNOW YOU STEAL. WE KNOW YOU SPY. The whole world knows the truth. ARE ALL NATIONS LIARS??? The all hate China, now.
how Trump responded.
"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," he said.
"And I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, suppose you brought the light inside the body, you can, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way."
The US president then went on to address disinfectants. PAY ATTENTION. CHINESE PUPPET..
Knocks it out in a minute," he said. "One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs."
ANY MORE QUESTIONS COMMUNIST PUPPET?

The simple truth is that the United States is not the only country that has approved hormone use in food animals. In 2014, the United States exported beef to over 100 countries, and only three of them had restrictions on meat from U.S. animals treated with hormones. Similarly, we exported dairy products to over 150 nations. None of the major dairy markets that import U.S. dairy products have restrictions on products produced with bovine somatotropin (bST). This includes Canada and the Commission for the European Communities. So, the majority of countries are willing to accept meat and milk from animals that have been treated with hormones approved for use in the United States, even if they do not allow use of the products in their own countries. Milk and meat from cattle treated with bST are safe for consumers according to regulatory authorities in more than 50 countries including Australia, Canada, the Commission of the European Communities, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Joint Committee on Food Additives. The regulations imposed often do not make sense at the consumer level. For example, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not allow use of bST in dairy cattle, but they have approved use of hormones as growth promotants in beef cattle.

ONLY WONDERFUL THINGS COME FROM THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS!
I don't see any bad, do you???
Atajurt Kazakh Human Rights’ channel has published nearly 11,000 videos on YouTube totalling more than 120 million views since 2017, thousands of which feature people speaking to camera about relatives they say have disappeared without a trace in China’s Xinjiang region, where United Nations experts and rights groups estimate at least a million people have been detained in recent years.
On June 15, the channel was blocked for violating YouTube’s guidelines, according to a screenshot seen by Reuters, after 12 of its videos had been reported for breaching its “cyberbullying and harassment” policy.
The channel’s administrators had appealed against the blocking of all 12 videos between April and June, with some reinstated – but YouTube did not provide an explanation as to why others were kept out of public view, the administrators told Reuters.
‘Multiple strikes’
Following inquiries from Reuters as to why the channel was removed, YouTube restored it on June 18, explaining that it had received multiple so-called “strikes” for videos which contained people holding up ID cards to prove they were related to the missing, violating a YouTube policy which bans personally identifiable information from appearing in its content

@VenezuelaNow Who says so? If they have children at 20 and die at 35 doesn't that work? Let's say I have a daughter at 20. She has children at 20 Then when her and her husband gets annihilated with a phosphorus bomb, poison gas, artillery shell, or any of your other make believe nonsense, I'd have grandchildren and still be 40-45. Now think about it. Those that died freeing South Korea. Look at them today. Those that died freeing the former Soviet Union. Look at them today. Now, look at NORTH Korea, how they lost their freedom, Cuba! Angola, and anywhere else that the communists had to be driven out. No matter WHAT the costs, you have to exterminate the reds like roaches. Sure, you might suffer for a while, but in the end, there's the fresh air of freedom. 10-20-30% die so the rest can be free. MUCH, MUCH better to be poor in a Capitalist country, that a puppet "rich" in a communist one. Now to your phosphorus claim... I SUPPORT ITS USE 100% If the enemy hides among civilians. Kill the civilians. If they hide in a mosque... Destroy the mosque. If they arm the children... Destroy the children. I am 100% in approval...... The film alleges that the US military deliberately targeted Iraqi civilians and children during the Fallujah offensive as part of its campaign to exterminate opposition to its occupation. The film interviews former US Army scout Garret Reppenhagen, also from Colorado, who claims that civilian deaths were common and intentional. However this claim, like some other claims made in this documentary, is unsubstantiated due to the fact that those being interviewed had no part in the fighting in November 2004 in Fallujah.
The US military responded by stating that they gave civilians several days of advance warning of the assault and urged them to evacuate the city. This was done through loudspeakers and leaflets dropped by helicopter. However, men of "fighting age" were stopped from leaving the city, numerous women and children also stayed behind, and a correspondent for the Guardian estimated that between 30,000 and 50,000 civilians were still in the city when the assault took place.[4]

@Liam1H That's an EASY question. Didn't Hillary HAVE MORE VOTES than Trump? But he won and became President? Is your brain awake yet, Will? Demon Rats didn't have to steal MILLIONS of votes to steal the election, they only had to flood those districts where Trump won by narrow margins LAST TIME, with fake mail in VOTES for Biden THIS TIME. Now, not only do I know this but MANY MANY other Republicans know it as well. Let's go further. When Republicans gathered the evidence of voter fraud and went before mostly, but not entirely DEMOCRAT judges, they did NOT discount the facts, but rather made a ruling that "it would not affect the outcome of the NATIONWIDE election. (No, all it had to do was affect the outcome of THAT district) Are you still paying attention Will? But, we're fine with Biden. We're just going to work very hard at making his next four years in office a living hell. That begins now, and peaks in two years with the Congressional elections. After that, he'll become a lame duck, unable to do anything. We came close in the House, this time. Next time we finish the job. THEN the Republicans will start the hearings. BTW.. He was the only one in THIS THREAD that "knew it"

@johndigiacomo1674 More ridiculous statements. Let's just take the first. Corporations paying zero tax. WALMART wasn't the first to realize that INVESTING and EXPANDING their business, along with HIRING more workers was MUCH preferred to handing cash over to the government that spends not only ALL that they collect, but BORROWS trillions more in budgets filled with waste, fraud, and abuse. Now, the lefties love to trumpet that THESE CORPORATIONS paid no tax, while ignoring the tens of thousands that DO. Not only that, but Corporations pay MANY, MANY other taxes, that the common 24 year old new hire at MSNBC never heard of. (Google what type of taxes corporations pay) Finally, if ALL of them paid ZERO tax, they would still be the provider of hundreds of thousands if not millions of JOBS that Americans depend on. Don't be so shallow in your thinking to accept this propoganda. Educate yourself.

Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.
TRUMP 2020!!!

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

@Qossuth You're not paying attention. I said that it was ENVIRONMENTALISTS that championed the use of plastics over glass BECAUSE OF ENERGY SAVINGS. Which is EXACTLY what the article said. Now, if you want a link to an article from FORTY YEARS AGO, then you have to show me how to get GOOGLE to give me articles from forty years ago! Did you read the LIES and CRIMINALITY OF GREENPEACE? No comment on that from you? The "mother" of all environmental groups, yet you ignore what the article says. Search gives me the LATEST nonsense that comes from environmental nuts, not what I KNOW they did forty years ago! Here's another.... At least one study has suggested that policies banning plastics can even cause serious harm.
San Francisco, for example, was one of the earliest adopters of these policies in 2007, when it prohibited all retail stores from using single-use plastic bags.
In 2014, Jonathan Klick and Joshua Wright, who are both law professors and Ph.D. economists, conducted a study of the effects of the San Francisco plastic bag ban. They found that as soon as the ban went into effect, deaths and emergency-room visits related to foodborne illnesses from bacteria such as E. coli spiked in San Francisco, with deaths increasing as much as 50 percent to 100 percent, relative to other counties in California.
Why the spike in foodborne illnesses?
Klick and Wright concluded that non-plastic reusable shopping bags were the likely culprit, which consumers were forced to use once San Francisco banned plastic bags.
As they explained in the study, reusable shopping bags, such as cloth bags commonly used as alternatives to plastic bags, can be incubators for bacteria.
Harmful and even deadly bacteria will begin to grow inside reusable shopping bags if they are not thoroughly and consistently cleaned, turning those environmentally friendly totes into giant petri dishes.
Those who then use the contaminated bags to carry or transport food significantly increase their risk of contracting a foodborne illness.
Remarkably, that study has not stopped California from waging a senseless war on plastic. And other progressive states are following right behind the Golden State.
NOW YOU'LL be asking where proof of that is... In forty years!! Tell me!! Where is the proof that reusable shopping bags CHAMPIONED by enviro loons cause sickness!! That's ONE SMALL ARTICLE in an ocean of PRO ENVIRONMENTAL nonsense that's published every day! Now... The major contention of my comment is that the environmental loonies (like you) are responsible for MORE BAD THAN GOOD. The articles I have shown you, point those FACTS out. I can send FIFTY MORE on a wide range of topics. Like how they are fighting AGAINST solar. You'll be asking to see THOSE articles in forty years too! https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/green-groups-fight-to-stop-another-solar-power-plant/

@michealfreer9283 Mike. Use your brain will ya? He "worked with".. "he assisted" Wake the hell up man. I said he's DONE NOTHING. Got that? Now, he's been in Congress for how long? SHOW ME WHAT HE'S DONE. He got a post office named. That's it! Now, if Democrats and independents don't support him, if he HAS NEVER passed legislation with him being the author, and even NOW the democrats are distancing themselves from him, WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'LL GET DONE? Oh, I'm sure he'll blame someone else as he has always done. But HE HAS DONE NOTHING but flap his gums and tell his foaming at the mouth college age nit wits what they want to hear. FREE! That's his grand plan. Free everything. Now when economists tell you this (wake up now) that you can take EVERY PENNY FROM THE WEALTHY it still wouldn't come close to paying for Healthcare for all. Now stop there. READ THAT AGAIN. Every FN penny that the "welty" make, and it's NOT ENOUGH. Forget his "fairshare" bull shit. Now, Google this "what do the top 1% pay in income tax" do that will ya? Then do it with top TEN percent. Those are the "welty", See what they pay NOW.. That's just income tax. Don't forget the multitude of OTHER taxes that the "welty" pay that you never see. You Bernie boobs, think we're stupid! You goofball have the answers from Bernie and te rest of us "just don't understand". FREE COLLEGE!! FREE HEALTHCARE!! FREE FRER FREE.. If only we get the welty to pay... Their "FAIR SHARE".. That's all!! Wake up will ya.

Ted Cruz..
I’ve seen them, the Donna tent facility [in Texas], with over 4,000 people, with little boys and little girls on top of each other.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID-19 positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%. And all the Democrats who talked about this—if they don’t go, if they don’t denounce the Biden cages, then they’re telling you that they’re hypocrites, that they didn’t believe it when they said it, that they didn’t care about it when they said it, that it was all politics, it wasn’t about their kids.
Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who’s supposed to be the border czar, she’s supposed to be in charge of this, why won’t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.
And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say, “Nothing to see here.” Fifteen thousand Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, “Nothing to see here.”
Anyone want to know what Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor is? That’s the news. Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Never mind, when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river who died trying to cross illegally.
Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, “I won’t let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm, because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it’s dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.” Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at round tables how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.
You want to understand what’s happening, say there’s no crisis? Come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County, Brooks County in South Texas. It’s just north of the border.
Brooks County, over and over and over again, there [are] dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they’re not nice guys. They’re not humanitarians. They don’t give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain, in the summer heat.
And over and over again, the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property, where the traffickers have abandoned them. Mr. President, I ask you, is that humane? Is that compassionate, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policy that encourages, that puts people in harm’s way, and results in people dying?
When we were down on the border, we saw a young girl who had been gang-raped by the human traffickers who had brought her to America.
The rate of sexual assault is staggering, particularly among the girls and young women, so much so that a significant percentage of young women, before they take the harrowing trip with the traffickers, will implant a birth control because they know the odds of their being sexually assaulted are so great.
And I’ll tell you, as I was doing the round tables, one of the things I saw also was the colored wristbands. The traffickers are global cartels. They’re criminals. They’re vicious criminals. They charge anyone—a young man, a young woman, a little boy, a little girl—thousands of dollars, anywhere from three, four, five, six, seven, eight thousand dollars to cross into the United States.

@hazukichanx408 Maybe you should get some education or training, so you can work for someone else. In fact, maybe you can work for 12 hours a day and risk your life savings so YOU can start a business. That way you can provide your workers with $20 an hour with free Healthcare, dental, vacation, sick time, unemployment insurance, security, heating and air conditioning, diversity training, and of course profit sharing too. Get started. There's a lot of low life, lazy failure slugs out there waiting for a guy just..... like...... you. Here's two waiting for a job with you, right now.... https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-popeyes-drive-thru-turns-into-wild-brawl-and-robbery-video-shows

@this_functional634 Consider this... Put yourself in the shoes of a group of people that want to gain control of a government, any government, but in this case.. ours. How would you go about that? Maybe attack the current government? Create a crisis that you can marshall a young impressionable poorly educated mob to match, protest, disrupt, and hinder the current government? When the masses have food, you concentrate on "global" hunger. When crime is practically non existent, you attack the police as being " heavy handed" and unfair. You look for scandals, infidelity, past statements to crucify effective politicians? Encourage others to mistrust the current government? Demand change! Point out inconsistencies in wealth to divide and anger the people. Express to them that THEY deserve these riches (that came through risk, hard work, and years) and can correct this unfairness by voting in a new regime? That's how the communists took over Russia, Chavez took over Nicaragua, Mao took over China, on and on and on. Does this sound familiar? After they take control, there will be no discussion about wages, inequality, climate change, police brutality, and a SCAPEGOAT will be found to take the blame. Sound familiar? It's not "us" that's responsible for your misery, it's Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Donald Trump. Google this... "the giving pledge".... then ask yourself WHY you never heard of it. WHY Bernie Sanders never mentioned it. Think about it.. THEN DONT FAIL TO WATCH THIS.... https://youtu.be/E3f1qJ8FYYA

@kyle9401 WHOAH there, trigger. WHY that funding? Because THE GOVERNMENT forces them to test new drugs for YEARS, undergoing test, test, tests, and if they fail... they get stuck with the bill. Wake up from your coma. Tell me who has cheap drugs.. THEN tell me WHAT DRUGS they've developed. ZERO. Next, let's look at INDIA that copies, CHINA that copies, RUSSIA that copies our drugs, IGNORING patent laws. But, who pays when the drug fails? Ask anyone who's getting cancer drugs, they'll tell you.. IT'S A BARGAIN. Ten drugs developed.. one gets to market.

@scruffy1471 Who said that? I said HALF are leeches, getting a government hand out, pension, subsidy, grant, public housing, food, medical care, and on and on. The OTHER half work in a military connected industry that survives through government CORPORATE handouts. Either way, they're leeches. Now if you want to argue about FEDEX vs USPS let's get started. Government is a LEECH on the back of free enterprise, because we've given in to blood suckers like Bolshevik Bernie.

Ibrahim Abdirahman What a laugh riot! The top one percent "own" 82% of the wealth?? Do you OWN your paycheck? No, you describe it as WORKED for your pay.. But those like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos have created MILLIONS OF JOBS for poorly educated, poor skilled, moaner and complainers. Now HOW MANY JOBS HAS BERNIE CREATED? Zero, zip, nada, NOT ONE. He's handing out the fish instead of the pole. YOU should be ashamed. THEY are the wealth creators, not the wealth DISTRIBUTORS. Now, Google " the giving pledge" and read up. Then hang your head in shame for your ignorance in getting duped by Bernie.

@noobdoggo Come out of your coma long enough to pay attention. Bernie never studied one day of economics, neither has his starry eyed supporters.. Let me make it brief 1) nothing government has got its hand in, has been excellent. (FedEx vs USPS) (NASA vs SpaceX) (social security vs wall Street)
2) old people buy stock in drug companies and get dividends that they live on 3) more demand ALWAYS equals higher prices, not lower 4) The 1% pay 40%, the 10% pay 70% of all income tax collected. The poor pay nothing. 5) The middle class will pay for all the FREE programs that Bernie wants with higher taxes. 6) two things happen with $15 an hour min wage.. first business close next.... prices on everything go up, hurting the poor.
7) Bernie and his climate change HOAX will drive up gasoline and energy costs, hurting THE POOR the most.
8) His free Healthcare for "ALL" will encourage MANY MANY more illegal immigrants to come here, have a baby, get to be a citizen as a result. YOU'LL PAY. 9) His pretend "Nordic brand of socialism" has been DENIED by Norway themselves, saying Bernies is NOT their system
10) Bernie is a Marxist. He has rebranded himself with a new title "social Democrat" to soothe the wary, but a crocodile is a crocodile even if you call it a duck. Now pick one of the ten, and I'll PROVE what I'm saying is true. When I do... You'll attack my proof, change the subject, or quote a leftist yo-yo that's a Bernie supporter.

WHAT A DELIGHT!! SAY GOODBYE TO US AMERICANS!! But don't forget... Say goodbye also to..... Bilateral Economic Relations
One of the fastest growing economies in the world a few years ago, Ghana’s rate of growth slowed in 2016 to 3.6 percent, down from 7.1 percent in 2013. Ghana’s economy is highly dependent on the export of primary commodities such as gold, cocoa, and oil. Thus, the country remains vulnerable to potential slowdowns in the global economy and commodity price shocks. Overall increased inflation and devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi since late 2013 has dampened the macroeconomic success story. While the cedi has largely stabilized over the past year, inflation hit 19.2 percent in March 2016 – the highest since early 2010 – and still remains stubbornly high. In recent months, inflation has begun a welcomed downward trend and stood at 12.6 percent in May, 2017. Ghana’s total public debt rose to 73% of GDP in 2016, exceeding pre-HIPC levels. A new government was elected in December 2016 on a platform of promoting private sector-led growth, and has made attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) a priority, given the urgent need to restore the country's economic momentum and overcome an annual infrastructure funding gap of at least $1.5 billion.
In 2015, the GOG signed a $918 million extended credit facility (ECF) agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in an effort to stabilize Ghana’s struggling economy.. Ghana has successfully completed three IMF reviews since the program started but excessive end-of-year government expenditures in 2016 raised questions about Ghana’s commitment to fiscal consolidation. The nation faces challenges in addressing its massive state-owned enterprise debt, mostly in the power sector, estimated to be around $2.4. Ongoing discussions with the IMF, the World Bank, and the broader international donor community to address these major issues continue. It is likely Ghana will seek an extension of the IMF program as the new government works to renegotiate fiscal targets to ensure long-term economic success. Ghana completed a five-year $547 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact in 2012 and a second, five-year $498 million MCC compact focused on the power sector entered into force on September 6, 2016.
Ghana exports goods to the United States under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and is a Feed the Future, Power Africa, Trade Africa, and Partnership for Growth country. The United States is among Ghana's principal trading partners, with bilateral trade between the two countries reaching $1.1 billion in 2016. A number of major U.S. companies operate in the country, including IBM, Coca-Cola and Newmont Mining. Political stability, competitive wages, and an educated, English-speaking workforce enhance Ghana's potential as a West African hub for American businesses. However a burdensome bureaucracy,weak productivity, costly and difficult financial services, under-developed infrastructure, ambiguous property laws, an unreliable power and water supply, and an unskilled labor force present challenges hindering foreign direct investment. Ghana has significant reserves of oil and gas, currently being developed by a variety of global petroleum companies, including U.S.-based Kosmos Energy.

Bernie Sanders
Money raised: $46,491,503.24
Vermont Sen Bernie Sanders, who fought Hillary Clinton to the end in the 2016 Democratic primary, has amassed more money than any other Democratic challenger by more than $10 million. The Bernie Sanders fundraising network recently pulled in more small donations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey than Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren combined, continuing its mastery of grassroots outreach.
Donald Trump
Money raised: $124,369,310.76
President Donald Trump has one thing none of his challengers can possibly match: the incumbency. The office of the presidency is a money magnet, and the Trump campaign has proved skillful in getting the president’s supporters to continue to dig deep. Only three Democratic challengers have raised more than $30 million. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, announced in April that his presidential election campaign fund already had raised $30 million — after just a single quarter of fundraising.

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

@keciar9788 I'm impressed! BIG words! No, it's people like you that managed to have a whole new generation of white people, see your continual moaning and complaining, protesting, and hatred for our flag, our country, and its police. Old people don't have to spread hate, they don't have to bludgeon, beat, and shoot young black men. Young black men are doing a great job of doing it themselves!! Now loosen up your weave and think about it. You know deep down in your heart, that black men abandon their women, are actually PROUD to be a "playa" and can't seem to hold a job and support their own children. Who are their heroes? Doctors? Businessmen? Leaders? No...... it's a basketball player!! A rapper! A gangsta! You see sista, it's not about color. White people love people from India, Pakistan, Burma, China, and other people of color. No, it's about CULTURE. That's what we despise. The fifty year moaning and complaining, SELF segregation, affirmative action, pimpin, dealing, thuggery, criminality, family abandoning, poor manner, hyphenated identity, suspicious, chip on your shoulder, hatred for authority, CULTURE that you have that leaves a stain on race relations in this country that even a black President couldn't wash away. Koreans don't like you, Vietnamese don't like you, Chinese don't like you, Indians don't like you, Police don't like you, and now you've managed to have a whole new generation of white people, see you burn your neighborhood, attack police, riot, and rush to defend the OBVIOUS black criminal instead of your police. WE SEE YOU for the racists you are.. You'll defend a black murderer over a white policeman. Simply because he's black. You turn a blind eye and stay silent over the THOUSANDS of young black children being murdered by other blacks.... simply because THEY ARE BLACK. But you'll destroy a neighborhood, YOUR OWN neighborhood, because of ONE BLACK killed by a policeman simply because THEY ARE WHITE. Then you have the preposterous claim that WE are the racists. The haters that YOU have created. Keep smiling.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

TheRetiredtrucker It's no wonder you were a truck driver. You probably fell asleep in school. Ford is losing sales because they sell JUNK and need a whipping boy to put the blame on. You aren't seeing other auto manufacturers laying off workers because of the Trump Tariffs do you? Now, instead of believe the DEMOCRAT LEANING, TRUMP HATING, NBC News, you would have dug a little deeper, you'd find out........... Ultimately, Ford has had a pretty rough year. Just last month, while total U.S. auto sales slowed down 7 percent, sales of Ford vehicles alone dropped 11.2 percent. Even the automaker’s flagship F-Series pickup trucks dropped 9 percent in sales. The efforts, still taking shape, could shield the Blue Oval’s profitable North American operations from significant layoffs, two ranking sources familiar with the situation told The Detroit News, particularly if the national economy remains buoyant as Ford launches a new midsize Ranger pickup, new compact and midsize SUVs, and a revived Bronco.
“It’s not about slashing costs and laying off people to get to prosperity,” Hau Thai-Tang, Ford's executive vice president of product development and purchasing, said in an interview this week. “It’s about becoming fitter so that we can reinvest that into delivering products that customers want and value — and doing it faster. It’s not that we have too many people or they’re not working hard or they’re not smart."
SO NOT AMERICAN JOBS..

@fastshootmmmm Bahahahaha.. Invented WHERE DOPEY? Here in the USA! It's not Chinese "people" that are the problem, it's your thieving, spying, lying, cheating government that has only succeeded by draining the blood of the Western nations! And he was PART of a team, and WITH THE INVENTION of the laser, enabled the Internet DECADES before it was in China! In the 1960s at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories (STL) based in Harlow, Essex, Kao and his co-workers did their pioneering work in the realisation of fibre optics as a telecommunications medium, by demonstrating that the high-loss of existing fibre optics arose from impurities in the glass, rather than from an underlying problem with the technology itself.[40]
In 1963, when Kao first joined the optical communications research team he made notes summarising the background[41] situation and available technology at the time, and identifying the key individuals[41] involved. Initially Kao worked in the team of Antoni E. Karbowiak (Toni Karbowiak), who was working under Alec Reeves to study optical waveguides for communications. Kao's task was to investigate fibre attenuation, for which he collected samples from different fibre manufacturers and also investigated the properties of bulk glasses carefully. Kao's study primarily convinced himself that the impurities in material caused the high light losses of those fibres.[42] Later that year, Kao was appointed head of the electro-optics research group at STL.[43] He took over the optical communication program of STL in December 1964, because his supervisor, Karbowiak, left to take the Chair in Communications in the School of Electrical Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia.[44]

@slofy4772 PART TWO.... The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) recruited militants in Lebanon from among the families of Palestinian refugees who had been expelled or fled due to the creation of Israel in 1948.[5][6] After the PLO leadership and its Fatah brigade were expelled from Jordan for fomenting a revolt, they entered Lebanon and the cross-border violence increased. Meanwhile, demographic tensions over the Lebanese National Pact led to the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990).[7]Israel's 1978 invasion of Lebanon pushed the PLO north of the Litani River, but the PLO continued their campaign against Israel. Israel invaded Lebanon again in 1982 and forcibly expelled the PLO. Israel withdrew from most of Lebanon in 1985, but kept control of a 12-mile[8] security buffer zone, held with the aid of proxy militants in the South Lebanon Army (SLA). In 1985, Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shia radical movement sponsored by Iran,[9] called for armed struggle to end the Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory.[10] When the Lebanese civil war ended and other warring factions agreed to disarm, Hezbollah and the SLA refused. Combat with Hezbollah weakened Israeli resolve and led to a collapse of the SLA and an Israeli withdrawal in 2000 to their side of the UN designated border.[11] Citing Israeli control of the Shebaa farmsterritory, Hezbollah continued cross border attacks intermittently over the next six years. Hezbollah now sought the release of Lebanese citizens in Israeli prisons and successfully used the tactic of capturing Israeli soldiers as leverage for a prisoner exchange in 2004.[12][13] The capturing of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah ignited the 2006 Lebanon War.[14] Its ceasefire called for the disarmament of Hezbollah and the respecting of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon by Israel.

If you want to observe a branch of meteorology where there is virtual consensus regarding global warming, look no farther than to those who actually study and forecast hurricanes. This community of scientists knows Gore is prancing about au naturel.
Re-enter Dr. William Gray, unquestionably the world’s foremost hurricane forecaster. He founded the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University in the 1960s, where he developed the fine art of forecasting hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous times Dr. Gray has told my radio audience, “I am of the opinion that global warming is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpe- trated on the American people.”
Gray’s opinion is not based on a gut feeling—it’s based on the science. And he is not alone.
“All my colleagues that have been around a long time—I think if you go to ask the last four or five directors of the National Hurricane Center—we all don’t think this is human-induced global warming,” says Dr. Gray.
Indeed, another pioneer in hurricane research, and a 13-year director of the National Hurricane Center, Dr. Neil Frank, told the Washington Post, “It’s a hoax.”189
When asked if he thought increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could actually be a good thing he replied, “Exactly! Maybe we’re living in a carbon dioxide-starved world. We don’t know…”
Consider some noteworthy hurricanes, none of which occurred in particularly hot years:
Deadliest Hurricane: More than 8,000 people perished September 8, 1900, when a Category 4 hurricane barreled into Galveston, Texas. The storm surges exceeded 15 feet, and winds howled at 130 mph, destroying more than half of the city’s homes.
Most Intense Hurricane: An unnamed storm slammed into the Florida Keys during Labor Day, 1935. Researchers estimated sustained winds reached 150–200 mph with higher gusts. The storm killed an estimated 408 people.
Greatest Storm Surge: In 1969, Hurricane Camille produced a 25-foot storm surge in Mississippi. Camille, a Category 5 storm, was the strongest storm of any kind to ever strike mainland America. When the eye hit Mississippi, winds gusted up to 200 mph. The hurricane caused the deaths of 143 people along the coast from Alabama into Louisiana and led to another 113 deaths as the weakening storm moved inland.
Earliest and Latest hurricanes: The hurricane season is defined as June 1 through November 30. The earliest observed hurricane in the Atlantic was on March 7, 1908, while the latest observed hurricane was on December 31, 1954. The earliest hurricane to strike the United States was Alma, which struck northwest Florida on June 9, 1966. The latest hurricane to strike the United States was on November 30, 1925, near Tampa, Florida.
Hurricanes, one of the favorite proofs that advocates of anthropogenic global warming use to validate their claims, have become earth’s biggest bogeyman.
Reporters can call names, senators can make unfounded pronouncements, the Terminator can pump his biceps, and the U.N. can hold conferences on impending doom, but the only consensus regarding the connection of hurricanes and global warming is that there is no connection between the two.
However, like slick slip-and-fall lawyers, the Marxist elites pushing their social engineering agenda are not about to let a few facts thwart their plans. There’s too much wealth at stake that needs to be spread around.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

May 22, 2023
WASHINGTON D.C. — Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Ace Diamonds I'm glad to explain that to you. It's because a "basic" form is provided, as part of a better functioning society. The emphasis being on "basic". So, you see public transportation is provided at very low and subsidized cost by the taxpayer. You ride on the bus. Free K-12 education is provided, and you may attend at little to no cost. However, are these people entitled to a FREE automobile? Are they entitled to FREE college? Why not? And why does the poor and needy have to settle for a Ford or Chevy? While the "greedy" rich drive Mercedes and BMW? Why must my plumber salary be taxed to pay for someone to attend college to earn TWICE what I do, and make millions more over a lifetime, than I do? Why should ANYONE, rich or poor, have their money confiscated to pay for MORE THAN THE BASIC? In other words.. The bus, and a high school education? Now.. The top ONE PERCENT of taxpayers pay FORTY PERCENT OF ALL INCOME TAX collected. The top TEN PERCENT of income tax collected results in SEVENTY PERCENT of all the money, collected. The remaining 30% comes from the middle class. None from the poor. I may have to pay for a safety net, but not a lounge chair. I may have to pay for your vaccination, but not your heart transplant. High school, but not your masters degree. That is an "INVESTMENT" that YOU make, that results in a higher income than ME, and as such, YOU must shoulder the cost and not me. Public education IS PAID as a cost of running an orderly society. Finally, they come here from SOCIALIST countries. Very few from Germany, France, Japan, and many from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Ace Diamonds No, not true at all. I want to be the one that determines where MY money is donated to. I don't want politicians being the one that use MY confiscated funds to further THEIR political gains. If I choose to donate the money that I earned to Africa and starving children, instead of to sending some upper middle class idiot kid to college (remember it's for ALL) then that should be MY choice. Now, seeing how those SAME socialists that want FREE __ for ALL, are also proponents of allowing millions of NEW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO FLOOD ACROSS OUR BORDER, while demanding that THEY TOO, be given FREE___, I find this to be a situation that can only bring disaster. Finally, I can't understand why ANYONE would propose giving ANY MORE of ANYONE'S money to a government which has shown to spend what they get now, in a wasteful manner full of fraud, and abuse. In fact going BEYOND what they have collected, and incurred an ADDITIONAL 22 TRILLION DOLLARS in additional debt! And you want to argue for MORE SPENDING? High school has always been free. Always.

Ace Diamonds Yes, it is the politicians job. But, it's MY job to vote them OUT if they don't spend MY money, in a manner that I prioritize. Spending money to make money is INVESTING. Investing is done with a RETURN in mind, and I don't see how handing my money over, to be WASTED on blood sucking leeches, that are looking, not for a HAND UP, but rather a HAND OUT, provides me with a good investment. We have TOO MANY college graduates now, that are unemployed, searching for work, clutching their useless diplomas. Meanwhile, HIGH PAYING jobs in manufacturing, the trades, and health careers are begging for workers. Now think about this... There are TWO kinds of surgery. One is NON elective. The other is by CHOICE. So, you have one that removes a gall bladder (NON elective) and the other to do a face lift, or breast enlargement (elective) Now, since the government PAYS for the first, and NOT the second, costs have SKYROCKETED for those surgeries, meanwhile, those where people pay for BY THEMSELVES, have plummeted. Why? Because when YOU PAY, you choose the best service for the lowest cost. When government pays, the bill gets thrown on the pile. Now, as to your "let the immigrants come" nonsense, any country has the right to meter their growth. Schools, prisons, and hospitals can NOT keep up with an endless flow of new patients, much less ones that DONT PAY. With each TRILLION DOLLARS of debt, our currency is devalued. If we continue down this path, our money becomes worthless. EXACTLY what we are seeing in Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, and other socialist countries, where politicians BUY THEIR WAY INTO POWER with promises of.... FREE. It only works, until the money runs out. In past migrations to the USA, Europeans came bringing SKILLS. Today, immigration only comes bringing poverty, crime, and desperation. Something that we can NO LONGER afford to help finance.

Why we fight..... The economy has been red hot since President Donald J. Trump took office. That’s great news on its own. But even better is that not all booms are created equal—and the blue-collar Trump Economy is paying off for exactly the working Americans who need it most.
Last year, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett reported that blue-collar jobs grew at their fastest pace since 1984. And now, “after years of job losses, U.S. manufacturing employment has risen for 18 straight months among those holding production or nonsupervisory jobs, the longest stretch of gains since the mid-1990s,” The Wall Street Journal wrote this month.
More good news today: “Real wages for American families are soaring,” the White House Council of Economic Advisers reported this morning. Hourly earnings rose by 1.9 percent in the past 12 months—far exceeding even last year’s pace.
Complementing those rising wages is a significant drop in prices. American families are paying less at the pump as gasoline prices fell 9.1 percent during the past year. And in keeping with a major promise from President Trump, last month saw the biggest year-over-year decline in prescription drug costs since 1972.
February’s jobs report, released Friday, revealed that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent last month, remaining near a 50-year low.
Behind these numbers is a renewal of hope among working-class families and blue-collar communities across the heartland. Nearly 70 percent of Americans told Gallup they expect their personal financial situation to be even better next year. Their employers are optimistic, too. On average, a stunning 91.8 percent of manufacturers feel positive about their companies’ future growth under President Trump, compared with an average of 68.6 percent during the last two years of the Obama Administration.

Sound familiar??..... When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

These policies? Actions not promises... Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

@anthonybrowne3942 Started? Oba-mao "STARTED" NOTHING. Any legislation "starts" in the house of representatives, goes to the Senate and THEN to the President for signing. Oba-mao had Republicans that started that legislation. That's why BILL CLINTON was such a success.. Look it up... He had A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS! Oba-mao did ZERO for Veterans. BUSH was the one that put in part D for seniors. It was your half breed President that doubled the national debt and bailed out the auto industry which TRUMP had to threaten because they were moving jobs to Mexico. Ever hear of "fast and furious"? Look it up. He was the most corrupt President we ever had, but his black attorney General refused to bring charges against him. Check this out... Ask yourself why the public never heard about this.... In May 2013, Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma stated that President Obama could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after the deadly attack against two United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.[12] Inhofe said that "of all the great cover-ups in history—the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them—this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history".[12] Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah also stated in an interview that impeachment was "within the realm of possibilities" with regard to the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, later clarifying that "it's not something I'm seeking" and that "I'm not willing to take that off the table. But that's certainly not what we're striving for."[13] Fox News host Jeanine Pirro called for Obama's impeachment over Benghazi.[14]

@anthonybrowne3942 Leadership? WHAT LEADERSHIP?? The "beer summit"? The occupy movement?? No... HERE'S LEADERSHIP.....
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.

@tmad273 Awww wake up! Don't you see what's going on? Oba-mao could do no wrong. Trump can do no right. Do you want the media picking your next President? Everything is talk, talk, talk, and none of it means a thing to anybody. The ONLY thing that counts is ACTION. What has he done. First.. Done for you, then done for our people, then our country. And by that measure, he wins every time. If you can't answer those questions, then it's time to get an HONEST news source. Now, in court they make you affirm to tell the truth.. TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH... and nothing but the truth. Why do you think that is,? Why the "whole" truth? You need to sit and think long and hard about that. Because I can turn black into white, bad into good, and a Bolshevik into a concerned citizen, using the lack of that same brand of truth telling. I can tell YOU ten things that Trump said, but you can't come close to telling me ten GOOD things he's done. Yet, you consider yourself as the smart one. That the rest of us just "don't understand" about Bernie. I know BOTH SIDES of the issues. Then I decide. Find out what REALLY matters to you as a voter, not what someone has TOLD you, that you should care about. Here's oba-mao lies... https://www.politifact.com/personalities/barack-obama/

@lillianlin8154 I hope that you find the peace that you are searching for. There is no "essential" that you need to please God, because what the Jew tells you pleases him, what the Muslim tells you pleases him and what the Christian tells you, cannot all be correct..... or can it? Only God can answer these questions. All tell you that you are condemned if you don't follow THEIR teaching. I don't have a religion, organization, Pope, Imam, or Rabbi as my leader. I have the original shepherd. It is said that "it is not by works, but rather faith that one achieves eternal life. You can't obey a formula devised by men. I know that Christmas was a pagan holiday, I know that the Muslims do not face the true Mecca when they pray. I know that the Jewish people still search for their Messiah. But, as I've said.... These are of no concern to me, as I will not be the judge. Peace be with you, and may God bless you in your pursuit of him.

@lillianlin8154 Excellent.. For me, a dream of thought (not like a movie) came to me that said that EACH religion as well as groups within those religions (baptists, Catholics, Sunni, Shia, etc) all claim to be THE TRUTH. All claim that you must join them, and set themselves apart from others. They base it on readings of scripture and its interpretation. Some riot, kill, hate, or despise the other over WHAAAT? The Bible? The Koran? Remember a passage where Jesus said something like "because if their incessant prayers, they think God hears them". or something like that... I forget the exact words. Yet aren't we "taught" how to pray? On knees, bowing, and other man made rituals that keep us apart, which really keeps us apart from eachother? I don't preach to Muslims. I don't know who they pray to, and it's not my concern. I embrace them as "children of God" and let the divine father decide their fate, as well as mine!! It's a "narrow" door. I believe that there will be those that are called from many faiths and religions, the peace makers, the devoted, those that REACH OUT instead of PREACH OUT. God bless you again! May gods love and direction be upon you.

@Shenzhou. Yes there is. And not only is it wrong to claim a distinct peoples land, but China also claims the SEA!! It claims Russian territory, it even reigned in its treaty with Hong Kong. Now, here's the most important part. You took it by force and to this very day are beating and torturing the Tibetan monks, are trying to install a NEW illegitimate Dali Llama, and having taken your FALSE claims before an INTERNATIONAL court, have LOST and been ruled against. Did I mention that your criminal and murderous Communist Party unleashed the Corona virus that has killed MILLIONS worldwide, and continues to LIE about it? Wait! There's more.. How about the Uighurs "re-education" camps that you have set up to brainwash and punish tens of thousands of peaceful religious Chinese? You are harvesting body parts and selling them from those you torture and kill. Don't forget your support of NORTH KOREA!! A giant prison camp that tortures and kills its citizens!! You want history? How about the "great leap forward" by Mao that starved and KILLED MILLIONS OF CHINESE?
You are attempting to steal Indians land as well. The whole world hates the Communists for your crimes against humanity. Your theft of intellectual property, spying, cheating on trade, currency manipulation, and the list goes on.

Beijing has been chipping away at Hong Kong’s freedoms since the handover, experts say. Over the years, its attempts to impose more control over the city have sparked mass protests, which have in turn led the Chinese government to crack down further.
“In the fifteen years after the handover, there was a series of official initiatives aimed at enhancing Beijing’s control in ways that would undermine both the autonomy and the rule of law,” Michael C. Davis writes in his book Making Hong Kong China.
For instance, in 2003, the Hong Kong government proposed national security legislation that would have prohibited treason, secession, sedition, and subversion against the Chinese government. In 2012, it tried to amend Hong Kong schools’ curricula to foster Chinese national identity, which many residents saw as Chinese propaganda. And in 2014, Beijing proposed a framework for universal suffrage, allowing Hong Kongers to vote for the city’s chief executive but only from a Beijing-approved short list of candidates. Protesters organized massive rallies, known as the Umbrella Movement, to call for true democracy.
In the years following the 2014 protests, Beijing and the Hong Kong government stepped up efforts to rein in dissent, including by prosecuting protest leaders, expelling several new legislators, and increasing media censorship.

walter wayne Absolutely.. HOWEVER, it does not do so when a, question of NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY is involved. We will not be party to a court that rules OVER our already existing government. Now pay attention... When a disagreement occurs and members take their dispute before a court of ARBITRATION (GOT THAT?) And the court RULES, then the international community expects that the dispute be settled. CHINA, RESPECTS NO COURT, NO ARBITRATION, and NOTHING that doesn't place them in a clear winning position. ONLY THEN, will they agree to the compromise. FORCE is all they understand. The stronger one must prevail, at ALL COSTS. Their restraint in ANY matter is only governed by who they are unable to bully, defraud, or corrupt. WHO THE F set up and paid for the United Nations?? China BUYS influence, and corrupts nations all over the world. NUMBER ONE user of coal that pollutes our planet. NUMBER ONE abuser of human rights. A propoganda machine UNMATCHED anywhere in the world, that spreads its lies and misinformation.

walter wayne NOW that you see the term "arbitration" and realize that over FORTY COUNTRIES do not recognize the corrupt international Court of Justice... we can take the next step... The United States enters into more than 200 treaties and other international agreements each year. The subjects of treaties span the whole spectrum of international relations: peace, trade, defense, territorial boundaries, human rights, law enforcement, environmental matters, and many others. GOT THAT?? We settle disputes by MUTUAL AGREEMENT without THIRD PARTY INTERVENTION.. CHINA settles NOTHING that doesn't give them a clear win, or one they can cheat on, and ignore the agreement. Again, FORCE is all they respect.

@Shenzhou. THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT CHINA'S CLAIMS BEFORE THE COURT WERE SO LAUGHABLE that it caused a UNANIMOUS RULING AGAINST CHINA!! If China claims that the court has no jurisdiction, then why did they go before the court and argue for their make believe historic claims to the sea? It is because if they win... they say, the court has ruled!! But, when they lose, they say.. THE COURT IS FALSE!!!

Interview: The South China Sea Ruling
International law expert Roncevert Ganan Almond on the recent ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

By Roncevert Ganan Almond
July 16, 2016

Credit: REUTERS/Erik De CastroADVERTISEMENT
What do you think about this ruling? Does it follow your predictions?
The unanimous ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (the “PCA” or “Tribunal”) in the dispute between the Philippines and China is a landmark decision under the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention (UNCLOS) and represents a strong rebuke of China’s expansive claims to maritime territory in the South China Sea. The PCA’s ruling serves not only as a technical legal decision, binding on the parties – China and the Philippines, but also as a broader message concerning the peaceful settlement of disputes in the South China Sea pursuant to a rules-based international order.
From a legal perspective, the Philippines won a decisive victory on almost all counts, which is not necessarily surprising, especially given the weakness of China’s maritime claims under international law. The nearly 500-page decision carefully documents Beijing’s violations of UNCLOS and highlights broader policy implications underlying its aggressive behavior in the South China Sea. One example is the PCA’s close examination of the status of maritime features within the South China Sea against the backdrop of UNCLOS’ role in protecting the “common heritage of mankind” and preserving the international community’s interests in preserving high seas freedoms in the region. Hugo Grotius would be smiling.
What are the consequences of the PCA’s ruling for China, Philippines and other countries which are involved in the South China Sea dispute?
While the Tribunal’s ruling is only legally binding on the parties, the consequences are broad and will impact all the countries involved in the South China Sea dispute. In brief, the PCA’s decision will provide a framework for viewing the behavior of claimants in the South China Sea starting with China.

Importantly, the PCA rejected China’s historic rights and “nine-dash line” claim, finding that the maritime zones set forth in UNCLOS were controlling for the purposes of determining maritime entitlements. The treaty effectively superseded China’s historic claims. Even if a historic right could be asserted, the PCA found that there was no evidence that China had exercised “exclusive control” over the seas and resources of the South China Sea. Notably, the PCA’s conclusion is consistent with what the United States has long articulated regarding China’s “nine-dash line” claim.
It is important to note that the Philippines carefully crafted its complaint to avoid raising issues concerning sovereignty and maritime delineations. To preserve its jurisdiction in the case, the PCA also acted cautiously and did not issue any direct conclusions regarding sovereignty disputes between China and Philippines in the South China Sea, such as weighing in on rival claims over the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal. Despite this restraint, the effect of the Tribunal’s ruling is far-reaching.

@Shenzhou. So.. what you are saying is that if the police charge you with a crime, and you are asked to come and explain, should you NOT PARTICIPATE then it means you are innocent? FIVE NATIONS come together to listen to BOTH positions and they rule that China is GUILTY on all counts, and they rule UNANIMOUSLY. Remember now, these are the same criminals that sent troops into Tibet to steal THEIR LAND as well. And don't forget, China has land disputes with India and Russia, as well!! As I've said, and I will repeat it again. China ONLY respects FORCE, and will only comply with ANY LAW when they can see a CLEAR WIN for themselves. All talk of "peaceful agreement" is just talk. They only come to an agreement when they are FORCED to agree. Even then, after signing, they cheat. The entire world knows this. Whether it's shoddy goods, spying, intellectual property theft, bullying, fraud, or MANY other crimes, the Communists just deny, deny... and smile. Only war will bring this to an end. Soon the political winds will change in the USA and the time for talk will be over. There is, ONLY two possible outcomes for the Communists 1) shame and 2) humiliation.

@Shenzhou. Ahhh. But it IS a crime. Had you just continued negotiations and made no move to fish in their waters, to threaten ships and planes from passing through, then I'd say you were correct. However, as usual the Communists just put their gunboat diplomacy into effect, and began fishing in the other nations seas, and making radio threats that ships must ask "permission" from China to pass through. Of course when the BIG STICK of the United States, Britain, France, and Australia sailed through, the Communists had little to do but kowtow to them in order to maintain a shred of dignity. So, yes.. the DID commit a crime.. of THEFT and APPROPRIATION from their Asian neighbors. I just want to know why you refuse to bully the Americans? Lately, you are now bullying Japan, over their defense of Taiwan. Threatening to use the Atomic bomb against them should they interfere in the China land grab. Strange no threats against the Americans!! You know, to invade Taiwan means war with the United States. That's just another arbitration you refuse to acknowledge.

@Shenzhou. LET'S READ IT TOGETHER......
This concept, as explained by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contains four elements, the first and most essential being that “the sovereignty of the territories concerned belongs to China”. This immediately stands out as a worrying indication of China’s mindset going into any negotiations involving the South China Sea. Nothing that the Chinese government has said or done in the intervening years has assuaged concerns that it will be an unreasonable counterparty.
It is this intractability, coupled with the breath-taking ambiguity of its nine-dashed-line territorial claims, that makes it so difficult for South China Sea claimant countries like the Philippines to sit down with China.
Moreover, China’s actions speak louder than its words, and the message being conveyed is crystal clear: it will not compromise. There is thus a fundamental disconnect between the underlying principle of negotiations – finding a mutually acceptable middle-ground between competing positions – that China purportedly supports, and its increasingly assertive posture in the South China Sea, which of late has begun to approximate the behaviour of a typical neighbourhood bully.
The most notorious and visible of China’s assertions is its massive “island-building” program on a number of disputed features in the South China Sea, an effort widely perceived to be an attempt to change the status quo ahead of the tribunal ruling. China has also adopted a defensive-offensive posture that involves everything from ratcheting up the presence of ships, aircraft and even nuclear-armed submarines in the disputed area, to threatening the establishment of an Air Defense Identification Zone over the South China Sea. Its conduct of military drills – no doubt a strategic show of strength – in the days leading up to the arbitral ruling likewise emphasises the absoluteness of its position.

@Shenzhou. HERE IS MY MAP...
The South China Sea Arbitration Award: 5 Years and Beyond
China has consistently denied the ruling, but it is already shaping legal opinion in important ways.
By Nguyen Hong Thao and Nguyen Thi Lan Huong
July 12, 2021

The Philippine team at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, before the start of the oral arguments in connection with the arbitration case against China on the dispute in the South China Sea.
On July 12, 2016, the Arbitral Tribunal instituted under Annex VII of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) issued a final award of significant importance on the South China Sea arbitration case (the Award). Since then, this landmark decision has inspired numerous discussions on legal issues and has been considered as providing a legal background for the maritime activities taken by various countries in the South China Sea.
The Award, with its findings, has contributed greatly to the development of the international law of the sea and advanced the legal debate on the South China Sea issues in many ways. It has served as a legal basis for all the relevant states to review their positions and policies in the South China Sea.
After a period of opting for caution and downplaying the victory that it won in the South China Sea arbitration, Manila gradually turned to confirm the value of the Award. In his speech to annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte stated that “the Award is now part of international law, beyond compromise and beyond the reach of passing governments to dilute, diminish or abandon.”
Philippines Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, in his statement on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Award, compared the ruling rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal to “the North Star that will keep us on course in the present, and that will point us back to the right direction in the future.” He said that the Philippines “firmly reject[s] attempts to undermine [the ruling], or erase it from law, history and collective memories.” He further stated that the Award was “final,” that it constituted “a milestone in the corpus of international law,” and that it offered a valuable reference source for “countries with the same problematic maritime features” as those of the Philippines.
By stipulating that the maritime features in the Spratly Island group could not generate exclusive economic zones (EEZs) or continental shelves, the Award helped minimize the areas of disputes in the South China Sea and provided a basis for the delimitation of overlapping maritime zones there.
The Award apparently provided the impetus for Malaysia’s decision on December 12, 2019 to lodge a partial submission for a continental shelf in the northern part of the South China Sea that extended beyond 200 nautical miles from its baselines with the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. This submission is admissible only if it does not create overlaps between the extended continental shelf claimed by Malaysia and those claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines.
The Award has also provided a legal basis for regional and extra-regional countries to clarify their positions on the South China Sea issues. This was seen in the diplomatic note exchange from late December 2019 to January 2021, which prompted a flurry of 25 notes verbales, two letters, and one statement by 11 regional and extra-regional players on issues pertinent to the South China Sea region: Brunei (one statement), China (nine notes verbales and one letter), Malaysia (three notes), the Philippines (three notes), Vietnam (three notes), Indonesia (two notes), the United States (one letter), and Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan (one note each).
Except those of China, the diplomatic notes circulated during the recent note verbale debate contained many common points. They agreed that:
The unified and universal character of UNCLOS rendered it the most important legal instrument for tackling all matters and activities at sea.
The South China Sea Arbitral Award of July 12, 2016 presented an authoritative interpretation of international law concerning maritime claims in the region and was legally binding on all the concerned parties, including China and the Philippines.
Each high-tide feature in the Spratlys could only generate a territorial sea of 12 nautical miles.
The freedoms of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea should be respected.
The use of archipelagic baselines should be strictly limited to archipelagic states and was not permissible for the purpose of claiming maritime entitlements in the case of continental states’ outlying archipelagos.
Land reclamation or any artificial construction activities could change neither the legal regime nor the categorization of the maritime features in the South China Sea.
Historic rights claims in the South China Sea were unlawful and inconsistent with international law, particularly UNCLOS.
Additionally, the Award has significantly impacted ASEAN’s position with regard to the South China Sea disputes, given the regional grouping’s pursuit of centrality in the Indo-Pacific. Notably, the Chairman’s Statements of the 36th and the 37th ASEAN Summits, both held in 2020 under Vietnam’s chairmanship, reaffirmed the importance of upholding international law, including UNCLOS. The statements mentioned that UNCLOS provided “the basis for determining maritime entitlements, sovereign rights, jurisdiction and legitimate interests over maritime zones.” The statements also stated that UNCLOS “sets out the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out.” All this suggests that the Award has facilitated the development of a common ASEAN stance on how to resolve the South China Sea issues.

@Shenzhou. TIBET? Tibet belong to China! Nothing to see here. We have long history. Map shows Tibet belongs to Communists. Look at smiling People!!
In His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's last meeting with Chairman Mao Zedong in 1955, Mao drew close to him and said, "Religion is poison."

"At this," recounts His Holiness in his autobiography, Freedom in Exile, "I felt a violent burning sensation all over my face and I was suddenly very afraid. 'So,' I thought, 'you are the destroyer of the Dharma after all.'"
Mao's convictions indeed led to devastating consequences for Tibet as a Buddhist nation—including the destruction of more than 6,000 Tibetan monasteries, the disrobing and killing of thousands of monks and nuns. Estimates put the number of Tibetans tortured, starved, and executed at anywhere from 400,000 to 1.2 million. The International Commission of Jurists officially recognized these atrocities as genocide in 1961.

Today, the Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of Xi Jinping, professes a deep commitment to identifying and caring for the reincarnation of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. But how can we possibly believe that the CCP intends to take care of the future of Tibetan Buddhism? There is no doubt as to what the Chinese regime's actual goal is: total control of the Tibetan people, who revere His Holiness.
Take the subject of reincarnation—believing in rebirth after death. It's a sacred tradition among Tibetan Buddhists with an over nine-hundred-year history. In 2007, the CCP issued a requirement that living Buddhas, who are reincarnated lamas, must be approved by the CCP under Order No. 5. It's an outrageous and disgraceful order, as the Dalai Lama pointed out at the time while giving assurances that clear guidelines will be issued about his reincarnation, "to leave no room for doubt and deception."
Is Order No. 5 the action of a government that truly intends to protect Tibetan Buddhism? It is not the business of any government to tell a religious group who ought to lead it. That's their call, plain and simple.
Fortunately, in 2020, the United States countered this grave injustice with the historic Tibet Support and Policy Act (TPSA). The Act commits, among other things, "to support the fundamental rights of Tibetan Buddhists to select, elect and educate their own spiritual leaders."
This landmark legislation also clearly stakes out the United States' position on the Dalai Lama's succession, which "should be left solely to the Tibetan Buddhists to decide, without interference from anyone including the Chinese government." The TPSA also made clear that those who interfere "will be denied entry into the United States."
But the passage of TPSA 2020 was not meaningful only for Tibetans. Because religious freedom is a borderless principle, the Act is a sign of hope and support to the many peoples oppressed by China, including Uighurs, Hongkongers, Southern Mongolians, Falun Gong practitioners, Christians, Taiwanese, and Chinese citizens.

But even with this positive legislation, persecution of Tibetan Buddhists, along with people of faith from every corner of the CCP's reach, continues unabated. The CCP, through committees chaired by party leaders set up in each monastery in Tibet, manages every aspect of spiritual and educational activities. Young disciples are prevented from becoming monks or nuns, thereby decimating the ranks of those who wish to preserve Buddhism. Prayer flags have been outlawed. Religious rituals and festivals, banned. And the two biggest, most historic monasteries have been demolished.
The Tibetan language itself, a key component of the preservation of the essence of Tibetan Buddhist principles, is under threat, as the CCP aggressively forces students to switch from their native language to Mandarin.
To even possess a small image of His Holiness leads to immediate and severe punishment. And the oppression of Tibet and Tibetans doesn't stop with religious persecution. Arbitrary arrest, detention and imprisonment are common.
Tibet is a police state, and has been for decades. Out of approximately 200 national entities listed by Freedom House, Tibet is ranked along with Syria as the least free. In protest against the China's relentless repressive policies, 157 Tibetans have committed the desperate act of self-immolation since 2009. Of these, 125 are known to have died. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has described the situation in Tibet as "a Hell on Earth."
Still, our will not be extinguished. The International Religious Freedom Summit of 2021, taking place in Washington on July 13-15, provides an opportunity to join hands in proclaiming that religious freedom knows no boundaries. It is an essential human right, and it is under attack in Tibet and throughout the world.
As for the CCP's attempts to select the next leader of Tibetan Buddhists, we stand with His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, when he suggested that the Chinese Communist Party should first identify Mao and Deng's reincarnations. Until then, we hope many will join us at the Summit to highlight these and other religious freedom abuses, as we work together to bring an end to persecution of all faiths, all around the world.

@Shenzhou. I LIKE YOUR EASY QUESTIONS!!
Scarborough Shoal is named after a British merchant ship, the 'Scarborough' which was wrecked on the feature on 12 September 1748.[18] A number of countries have made historic claims of the use of Scarborough Shoal. China has claimed that a 1279 Yuan dynasty map and subsequent surveys by the royal astronomer Guo Shoujing carried out during Kublai Khan's reign established that Scarborough Shoal were used since the thirteenth century by Chinese fishermen.[19][20][21] However, no such 1279 map has been released by China to the public In an article from 18 February 1980, the Beijing Review claimed that Guo Shoujing built an observatory in the Paracel Islands, not Scarborough Shoal.[22] Given that Guo's observatories were huge constructions, it is unlikely that either story is true.
During the Spanish period of the Philippines, a 1734 map was made, which named Scarborough Shoals as Panacot, a feature under complete sovereignty of Spanish Philippines.[23][24] The shoal's current name was chosen by Captain Philip D'Auvergne, whose East India Company East Indiaman Scarborough briefly grounded on one of the rocks on 12 September 1784, before sailing on to China.[14][15] As early as 1937 to 1938, the Commonwealth of the Philippines laid claim to Scarborough Shoal.[25] The Philippine government conducted an oceanographic survey in 1957, and in 1965, the Philippine flag was raised in the area.[26]

@Shenzhou. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE THIEVERY THAT CHINA IS INVOLVED IN...
China in the last few years without shooting a single bullet has grabbed more land than the British Empire’s “East India Company”. Tibet is conceivably China’s most certain land grab that enforced the claim on the Himalayan nation and consolidated it with its territory where after Tibet’s spiritual head, Dalai Lama and his followers were forced to flee to India during the “1959 Tibet Uprising”. Recently as per the news reports, China has illegally occupied Nepal’s land in various places. It has annexed 150 hectares and the Nepalese politicians have asserted that the expansions of their land are presently the start of the increased Chinese bellicosity along the frontier. As per the UK-based Telegraph, the Chinese purportedly started grabbing Nepali land in five frontier regions in May 2020 by assigning members of its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) over unguarded sections of the frontier. In the Russian city of Vladivostok, China is claiming ownership of the city that previously belonged to the Qing dynasty. But after China lost in the second opium war, Vladivostok was returned following an agreement it signed in 1860 that states that the city legitimately belonged to Russia. However, China often rejects any agreement that isn’t acceptable to its demands.
China has also been claiming that Central Asian nations like Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have been part of China. It is intending to intensify in establishing military underpinnings across Central Asia, which is a cause of concern. China has claimed the whole Kyrgyzstan region to be a part of China. In 1999, China pushed Kyrgyzstan to return over 1,250 square km of land. China likewise has a continuing conflict with Tajikistan that record back to 1884. China in Tajikistan has been claiming the Pamir region. China has also hugely penetrated Africa and has large unresolved problems in Hong Kong and Taiwan. As part of its ‘One China policy’, it has been claiming Taiwan and has freshly pressed a security law in Hong Kong.
Africa is seen as the principal victim of this new Chinese global abuse drive. Chinese intrusion into Africa has been portrayed as an “African land grab” and a “New scramble for Africa”. Being Africa’s biggest trading ally and creditor, China, has interests in minerals and oil and looks to be one of the more natural “neocolonialists” of African agriculture. The Chinese interest in African rhinoceros tusk, ivory, abalone and materials from other threatened species has likewise taken an important toll on preservation efforts. As per the International Food Policy Research Institute and at Johns Hopkins University, Chinese firms have claimed to have gained or settled high amounts of African farmland.
The South China Sea viewed, as one of the world’s most significant maritime trade routes is a core hub for all geographical and international economic movement, promoting yearlong trade worth trillions of dollars. China here has been aggressively involved in the ‘sea grab’ by renaming of many islands, reefs, seamounts, shoals, and ridges that has sparked furious accusations by the affected nations and worldwide revulsion. In the East China Sea, China is at loggerheads with South Korea, Japan and North Korea. With the Senkaku and Ryu Kya islands being a critical bilateral issue, China is entangled in a land wrangle with Japan. In South Korea, China claims islands in the nation’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and the whole of South Korea on a historical basis. Both also have a conflict over Socotra Rock in the East China Sea. In North Korea, China has an ongoing conflict over Mount Baekdu and the Tuman River. In the Philippines, China still claims portions of the Spratly islands despite the International Court of Justice (ICJ) dismissing China’s claims. In Vietnam and Laos, China claims large areas on historical criterion (Ming dynasty and Yuan dynasty respectively). It’s also caught up with Vietnam concerning the Paracel Islands, Macclesfield Bank, parts of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands. A few months ago, China sank a Vietnamese fishing trawler near the Paracel Islands inviting criticism from many countries. In Indonesia, China demands fishing rights in waters near the nation’s islands. In Brunei and Malaysia, China claims the Spratly Islands. In Cambodia, China has claimed parts again on historical precedent. In Thailand, China has been eyeing the Mekong River since 2001. In Mongolia, China claims the whole country on a historical basis (Yuan Dynasty). In Singapore, parts of the South China Sea are being challenged by China and Singapore.
Through the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project and the enormous loans that have been dispensed to its all-weather friend ‘Pakistan’, China has turned Pakistan into a thrall land. The latest reports of the Chinese funded Diamer-Basha Dam in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) have become an environmental catastrophe in the making. Pakistan government is also trying to hand over the Karoonjhar Mountains and Sindh islands of Buddhoo and Bundalon for the CPEC project on the demand of the Chinese government, without taking permission of the people of Sindh or its government. Scholars and experts believe that Pakistan in the next few years is set to become a colony of China if it continues ceding its land to China. The red dragon has been at daggers drawn with India over the Ladakh boundary issue and has been attempting to change the ‘status quo’ with India that led to the loss of many Indian soldiers a few months ago. China is also staking claim to large tracts of Arunachal Pradesh (Indian state) to be a contiguous part of Tibet, due to its refusal to accept the McMohan Line as the border between the two nations. China has also been on a border dispute with Bhutan since 1986 and claims large parts of easterly Bhutan areas like Cherkip Gompa, Dho, Dungmar, Gesur etc. The 2017 Doklam issue showed how China tried to build a road in Bhutan’s territory and the Indian Army stepped in to help its ally. The port of Hambantota, that has attracted the world media attention of Sri Lankan government’s 99-year contract to the Chinese state-owned company, China Merchants Group (CMG) has been viewed by international observers as a ‘debt trap’ and ‘land grab’ by China.
In Myanmar, there have been many reports and complaints from locals related to human rights breaches, accusations of land grab and environmental destruction due to land procurement and industrial ventures by Chinese firms. Also, Myanmar has alleged that ‘China’ is arming a rebel group, the Arakan army, with advanced military technology displaying China’s aggressive character in arming insurgent groups. China through its investment ventures has likewise attempted to land grab in the Maldives that could be turned into military posts, which could destabilize the Indian Ocean region, and be pernicious to Indian defence and security. China is also making its way to the Pacific island nations of Kiribati, Solomon Islands and so on, which has brought the U.S.-China ties under considerable strain. China is also one of the main countries in acquiring land in Argentina, Latin America, and Colombia in which its stake is concentrated. China has been trying to expand its Arctic footprint and has also carried out undeclared military activities in Antarctica, by instituting a position for territorial claim, involving in minerals research.
Post-pandemic, China has been experiencing a food crisis for its huge population, slumping demand for its manufactured products and disappointment due to the fractured Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects where it has invested trillions of dollars. The Telegraph has stated that China has sought a more hawkish foreign policy under President Xi Jinping whose BRI projects beam to create trade and transport connections from the nation beyond Asia and toward Europe. Apart from the land grab, China is also trying to gain controlling stakes in firms globally. China, which is aspiring to be accepted as a modern superpower has got entangled in military and political disputes, in migration and government matters because of acquiring land and is trying to establish diplomatic connections with many countries. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, from the South China Sea to its South and Central Asian neighbors, Chinese territorial infringement has produced crevices in bilateral ties. China’s territorial grab, a conquest of brute coercion over laws, jeopardizes the vulnerability of the contemporary liberal world order.

@Shenzhou. HOW will you lie about THIS??
A respected Chinese virologist who says she did some of the earliest research into COVID-19 last year has accused Beijing of lying about when it learned of the deadly virus and engaging in an extensive cover-up of her work, according to a new report.
In a new interview with Fox News, Dr. Li-Meng Yan says her supervisors at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, a reference laboratory for the World Health Organization, silenced her when she sounded the alarm about human-to-human transmission in December last year.
In April, Yan fled Hong Kong and escaped to America to raise awareness about the pandemic, the report said. She told Fox News she is now living in hiding in the US and fears for her life.
“The reason I came to the US is because I deliver the message of the truth of COVID,” Yan said of the virus that has so far infected 12.3 million people worldwide and killed 555,000.
Yan said her supervisors at the laboratory asked her in December to study an usual cluster of SARS-like cases coming out of mainland China.
She was approached by a scientist friend at the Centers for Disease Control in China on Dec. 31 who warned her about human-to-human transmission, which she flagged with her boss, who “just nodded.”
On Jan. 9, the WHO released a statement saying Chinese authorities informed them that this wasn’t possible, claiming the disease “does not transmit readily between people.”

@Shenzhou. WAIT WAIT LET'S GET THE WHOLE STORY ON BARCELONA... The part you left out.
Not highly specific
In coronavirus testing, scientists typically screen for more than one gene. In this case, the researchers tested for three. They had a positive result for the March 2019 sample in one of the three genes tested – the RdRp gene. They screened for two regions of this gene and both were only detected around the 39th cycle of amplification. (PCR tests become less “specific” with increasing rounds of amplification. Scientists generally use 40 to 45 rounds of amplification.)
There are several explanations for this positive result. One is that SARS-CoV-2 is present in the sewage at a very low level. Another is that the test reaction was accidentally contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory. This sometimes happens in labs as positive samples are regularly being handled, and it can be difficult to prevent very small traces of positive sample contaminating others.
Another explanation is that there is other RNA or DNA in the sample that resembles the test target site enough for it to give a positive result at the 39th cycle of amplification.
Further tests need to be carried out to conclude that the sample contains SARS-CoV-2, and a finding of that magnitude would need to be replicated separately by independent laboratories.
Reasons to be circumspect
*A curious thing about this finding is that it disagrees with epidemiological data about the virus. The authors don’t cite reports of a spike in the number of respiratory disease cases in the local population following the date of the sampling.
Also, we know SARS-CoV-2 to be highly transmissible, at least in its current form. If this result is a true positive it suggests the virus was present in the population at a high enough incidence to be detected in an 800ml sample of sewage, but then not present at a high enough incidence to be detected for nine months, when no control measures were in place.
So, until further studies are carried out, it is best not to draw definitive conclusions*

@Shenzhou. You always DELIGHT ME with your level of brainwashing!! You believe everything they tell you.....
The major contributing factors in the famine were the policies of the Great Leap Forward (1958 to 1962) and people's communes, such as inefficient distribution of food due to the planned economy, requiring the use of poor agricultural techniques, the Four Pests Campaign that reduced bird populations (which disrupted the ecosystem), over-reporting of grain production (which was actually decreasing), and ordering millions of farmers to switch to iron and steel production.[3][5][7][12][14][16] During the Seven Thousand Cadres Conference in early 1962, Liu Shaoqi, the second Chairman of the PRC, formally attributed 30% of the famine to natural disasters and 70% to man-made errors ("三分天灾, 七分人祸").[7][17][18] After the launch of Reforms and Opening Up, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially stated in June 1981 that the famine was mainly due to the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward as well as the Anti-Rightist Campaign, in addition to some natural disasters and the Sino-Soviet split.[1][2]

China sets back search for covid origins with rejection of WHO investigation proposal

Chinese officials on Thursday rejected a World Health Organization proposal for next steps in the search for the origins of the coronavirus, deepening questions about if and how the roots of the pandemic will be fully investigated and complicating a standoff among the WHO, China and the United States.
Support our journalism. Subscribe today.
After a visit to Wuhan last winter, a joint Chinese-international team concluded that the virus probably jumped naturally from an animal, determined that a market linked to early cases was not necessarily the source, and all but dismissed the possibility of a lab leak.
In the months since, the methods and findings have come under intense scrutiny, including from WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. In May, President Biden gave the U.S. intelligence community 90 days to redouble its own search and urged China to participate in a “full, transparent, evidence-based international investigation.”

@Shenzhou. OK. I'd be delighted to explain. The Communist party maintains what is called "the great firewall of China".. THEY maintain all control of information that makes them look like the criminals that they are. That's why Google left, because they wanted to HIDE the FACTS and video that involved the massacre at Tiana men Square. This way THEY could tell the Chinese people their lies, and keep out the facts. What was a MASS demonstration for freedom, became just a small student disturbance. If the Chinese people knew what the truth was, they would have joined in the riots against communism. Now, as to your hilarious claims of "nature" being responsible for the massive flooding and a thousand people drowning in the subway, anyone with intelligence might ask questions as to WHY the government destroyed dams to release the water, flooding entire towns. I sent a video of a CHINESE HYDROLOGIST that explained how the Communists are responsible, but I know that the Chinese people will never see THAT story. Only about the "brave rescues" and "excellent government response". You don't think they tell WHO IS RESPONSIBLE do you? Blame the USA, blame terrorists, blame the Falun Gong, blame the CIA, FBI, DONALD TRUMP, But don't EVER EVER EVER blame themselves for their crimes.

@Shenzhou. Now lets get to the heart of the discussion.. No long answers... just tell the truth.
A) Who invented the microprocessor
B) Who invented the Internet?
C) Who invented the search engine?
D) Do Chinese come to the USA to learn computer science, or Americans to China?
E) Who steal WHAT from who?
Does the USA copy and steal trade secrets from China?
F) How many American spies are caught by China? How many Chinese spies by the USA.
G) The USA landed on the moon over SIXTY YEARS AGO, the Chinese have still not walked on the moon.
H) There are American automobiles sold in China. Where is a Chinese car (they had to buy Volvo)

@Shenzhou. OH and let's see what the CHINESE themselves have to say about their reported take over of GDP leader.....
A report published by the UK-based Center for Economics and Business Research on Saturday forecast that China will overtake the US to be the world's largest economy in 2028. It believes the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues led to a situation favorable to China during the process of China-US competition.
Meanwhile, the Japan Center for Economic Research also made similar predictions on December 10.
Whether the trajectory of GDP growth of China and the US will evolve as British and Japanese think tanks predict remains to be seen. A few years ago, HSBC predicted that China's GDP could surpass that of the US in as early as 2025. But with China's economic growth slowing down, people's expectations changed.
Many Chinese people were vigilant about the faint praise when reading the news that China's GDP is likely to surpass the US' in eight years. This is a healthy mind-set. The report by the British think tank seems also to have sounded the alarm in the US and the West that China is rapidly rising, which is inciting the West to act against it.
China's GDP will overtake that of the US sooner or later. This is similar to the case of India's GDP, which is set to exceed Japan's in about a decade. This is the trend of the era. It will affect people's mind-set when considering which year will be the tipping point. But the comparison of strengths between China and the US and the global geopolitical landscape will not fundamentally change around that tipping point.
No matter whether this tipping point comes or not, China has the ability to safeguard its national security, resist US coercion calmly, and will insist on walking its own path. Even when the tipping point arrives, China will be in a strategically passive position for a long time. The US will continue to woo its allies to contain China, and may even heap more pressure on China.
Especially during the 2020s when China strives to develop its economy, the US is bound to invest a lot of energy into obstructing this process. Jeopardizing China's development will become an inherent US strategy in the future, which will add to the cost of China's development.
So first of all, we should not be led by the nose by Western predictions that China's GDP will surpass the US' GDP faster than expected. We should not easily believe China's economic growth will be smooth and underestimate the economic risks. China has a tough road ahead to walk if it wants to transform into a quality-centered economy. For instance, it is never easy to make technological breakthroughs. We should have the courage to face setbacks but remain resolute

@Shenzhou. No, you're close in your statement, but not quite there. Here, let me illustrate. Consider these two statements. A) Let's eat, Grandma! B) Let's eat Grandma! Now do you see what a LARGE difference such a small thing like a comma can make? Your statements are the same. Close, but inaccurate. Let's take it step by step in a logical manner A) The CCP is known to lie to the entire world as well as its own people. B) I've documented that their GDP numbers are false and inflated C) Your "report" has shown to be wildly inaccurate when previously published (reach superiority by 2025) D) Assuming you are correct and they actually do have a larger GDP in the next decade, while IGNORING all the changes happening right now, they still would have the combined might of other nations allied against them on the side of the USA. E) The farmers and students might rise up and overthrow the Communists should a humiliating defeat occur over Taiwan. F) As I've indicated through numerous links to articles, there is only TWO possible outcomes for China in challenging the USA 1) shame 2) humiliation. We are all around you. Our friends and allies are all around you. People that hate and despise you over Covid are all around you. You are exceedingly lucky that the citizens of the world have not begun attacking the Chinese on the streets and schools and at their homes, all over the world. But, it will just take a spark to set off a bonfire of revenge.

@Shenzhou. Here's more of "no concrete evidence" Torture camps become "occupational training".
China’s government has
perpetrated massive human rights abuses even as
its legal and policy reforms have smoothed the path
for hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens to rise
out of poverty and stimulated improvements in the
transparency, responsiveness, and professionalism
of Chinese governance across a range of issues.96
Among the most egregious of China’s human rights
violations is the ongoing campaign against Uyghurs
and Turkic Muslims in its Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
Region — reportedly ranging from arbitrary detention
of hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens in
indoctrination camps97 to population-reduction
measures such as forced sterilization, forced abortion,
and coercive family planning policies.98 Such practices
meet the definition of genocide under the U.N.
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide, which China has ratified.99 Beijing
has denied the reports of forced birth control as
“baseless” and, amid growing international criticism,
released a white paper in September 2020 seeking to
defend the Xinjiang internment camps as “vocational
training centers.”100 Because China has not accepted
the compulsory jurisdiction of international judicial
mechanisms for individual complaints over human
rights abuses, international legal oversight is limited to
“periodic reviews” by treaty bodies and other means of
public pressure — work which can be made difficult by
Beijing’s lack of transparency and retaliation against
critics.101
Other human rights violations in China span a wide
range: repression of Tibetans and other indigenous
peoples; curbs on free expression, association, and
religion; crackdowns on dissidents, human rights
lawyers, and other reform advocates; strict limits on
labor rights; and an intrusive surveillance state with
few if any reliable legal constraints.102 Analysts are now
exploring the extent to which certain of these practices
are being exported — intentionally or otherwise — to
countries that receive Chinese investment through the
Belt and Road global infrastructure initiative.103

@Shenzhou. HOW about China ignoring this?
Chinese Communist Party, which has ushered in the harshest crackdown on critics yet under President Xi Jinping, has largely ignored a United Nations treaty banning all forms of torture or cruel and degrading punishment, an overseas rights group said in a recent report.
"Torture and ill-treatment or cruel punishment in China remain rampant and worrisome, and authorities have continued to use many forms of torture against [rights activists]," the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) said in its annual report.
While the U.N. Committee against Torture reviewed China's implementation of its treaty obligations under the Torture Convention last November, Chinese police "have largely ignored this treaty," the group said.
"The persistent use of torture is, in part, a consequence of the impunity enjoyed by torturers, including police and other state agents," it said.
Blind Chinese rights activist Chen Guangcheng, currently in the United States, described his personal experience of torture in an essay for RFA's Mandarin Service.
"The Linyi Detention Center ... echoed from dawn till dusk with the slapping and thudding sound of belts and rubber truncheons impacting on human flesh, and the cries of people being beaten up," Chen wrote in a recent blog post.
"Often, the in-house prosecutors would pass by such scenes of torture, and pretend they hadn't seen it, sharing a laugh with the prison guards in their flagrant act of breaking the law," he said.
Meanwhile, Gu Shuhua, the Canada-based wife of Chinese asylum seeker Dong Guangping, said she fears her husband may be tortured after he was detained by Thai police in Bangkok and handed back to China after being granted refugee status by the United Nations.
"All I want right now is for some news of my husband, and I hope that he hasn't been tortured," Gu told RFA in a recent interview. "I hope that he is safe and well."

@Shenzhou. Shenzou do you sleep well at night knowing that you support these criminals?
Head of the CCP in 1989, Zhao was a reformist leader who was purged for refusing to declare martial law and send in the military to suppress the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square that year.
“I told myself that no matter what, I would not be the general secretary who mobilised the military to crack down on the students,” he later wrote in his memoirs. On May 19, 1989, Zhao even turned up in person at the square at dawn to plead with the students to leave the area. The next day, martial law was declared in Beijing and two weeks later, soldiers moved into the square and opened fire, killing hundreds, if not thousands of people.
Zhao was placed under house arrest and never appeared in public again.
His name has since been mostly erased from the Chinese news media, histories and websites.

@Shenzhou. Does this clear it up in your mind?
On 12 July 2016, an independent arbitral tribunal established under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) published a clear and binding ruling on China’s claims vis-à-vis the Philippines in the South China Sea. China’s response at the time was to dismiss the ruling as ‘nothing more than a piece of waste paper’.
Interestingly, in the two years since then it has, in some small ways, complied with it. However, it is also clear that China’s behaviour in the South China Sea has not fundamentally changed. It is, in effect, using military force to try to extort concessions from its neighbours. That poses a threat to international peace and security.
The arbitral tribunal was asked by the Philippines to rule on 15 points, of which two were particularly significant. The first was that China’s claims to ‘historic rights’ within the entirety of the U-shaped, ‘9-dash line’ that it draws on maps of the South China Sea are mostly incompatible with the internationally-agreed UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). UNCLOS is clear: entitlements in the sea have to be within areas measured from land.
Secondly, the tribunal ruled that none of the Spratly Islands, nor an isolated reef known as Scarborough Shoal, are capable of supporting human habitation in their natural state. This means that none are entitled to an exclusive economic zone around them. The implication of these two rulings is that the vast majority of the resources in the southern part of the South China Sea belong to the coastal states: the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Nonetheless China is continuing to pressure those countries to give away their rights to the oil, gas and fish. Under the name of ‘joint development’ China is continuing to demand a share of those countries’ resources even though the tribunal clearly ruled those demands illegitimate. In May 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines said publicly that his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, had personally threatened him with war if the Philippines attempted to tap the large gas reserves in an area of the sea known as the Reed Bank.
The Philippines’ existing gas fields are expected to begin running out within five years, whereupon the country will face an electricity shortage. China’s military threats will have major consequences for the government in Manila. The most likely result is that the Philippines will have to build more coal-fired power stations to fill the gap.
Vietnam is in a similar position. In June 2017 and in March this year it was forced to suspend offshore oil development because of threats of military force from China. Vietnam’s oil output fell by 12% between 2014 and 2017 because Beijing’s intimidation is preventing it from developing new fields to replace those that are being depleted. This has reduced the government’s income with knock-on impacts on social and development spending.
Despite all this pressure, it is significant that none of the southeast Asian claimants have succumbed to Chinese pressure for ‘joint development’. They are continuing to assert the rights accorded to them in UNCLOS.
UNCLOS is a cornerstone of international peace and security. It was negotiated over nine years and agreed, in 1982, by almost every country in the United Nations. (The United States government signed it but the US Senate has not yet ratified it.) UNCLOS provides a neutral mechanism to allocate the world’s maritime resources but what we are seeing in the South China Sea is an effort by China to overturn it. In effect, China is deploying military might to overturn the legal rights given to the other countries.

@Shenzhou.
7. Barge into your house to force you off the airwaves
Sun Wenguang, a prominent critic of the Chinese government, was forced off air during a live phone interview with Voice of America in early August.
The 83-year-old former economics professor had been arguing that Xi Jinping had his economic priorities wrong, when up to eight policemen barged into his home, and forced him off the line.
His last words before he got cut off were: "Let me tell you, it's illegal for you to come to my home. I have my freedom of speech!" You can listen to the audio (in Chinese, but subtitled in English) here.
The father of Dong Yaoqiong, the woman who defaced the poster of Xi, was also interrupted while live-streaming a video calling for his daughter's release.
In the recording, which can be seen here, a man purporting to be a plain-clothed police officer can seen entering the premises, demanding to take Dong's father and his friend away, and ignoring their questions about whether the man had a search warrant.
8. Trap you in your house, and detain people who come to see you.
About 11 days after Sun Wenguang, the dissident Chinese professor, was interrupted on his call, he was found locked inside his own home.
Police had detained him in his house and Sun told two journalists who went to interview him that police forced his wife to tell people he had gone traveling to avoid suspicion.
He added: "We were taken out of our residence for 10 days and stayed at four hotels. Some of the rooms had sealed windows. It was a dark jail. After we were back, they sent four security guys to sleep in our home."
The journalists, from the US government-funded Voice of America, were detained immediately after the interview. Their whereabouts are not clear at this point.
9. Forbid you from leaving the country.
Ai Weiwei, the prolific Chinese artist and avid critic of the Chinese government, was blocked from leaving China for four years.
Authorities claimed he was being investigated for various crimes, including pornography, bigamy, and the illicit exchange of foreign currency.
He was detained for 81 days and charged with tax evasion, for which his company was ordered to pay 15 million yuan ($2.4 million). His supporters claimed the tax evasion charges were fabricated.
The government took away his passport in 2011 and refused to give it back until 2015. He then immediately flew to Berlin, where he now lives.
10. Intercept your protests before they even begin.
A group of protesters had been planning a demonstration in Beijing's financial district over lost investments with the country's peer-to-peer lending platforms.
Many of those platforms had shut down due to a recent government crackdown on financial firms, causing investors to lose some tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
But the demonstration, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on a Monday in front of China's banking regulatory commission, never materialized — because police had already rounded up the protesters and sent them home.
Many demonstrators who arrived in Beijing earlier that day found police waiting for them at their bus and train stations, before sending them away.
Peter Wang, who planned to take part in the protest, told Reuters: "Once the police checked your ID cards and saw your petition materials, they knew you are here looking to protect your [financial] rights. Then they put you on a bus directly."
Becky Davis, AFP's reporter in Beijing, described seeing more than 120 buses parked nearby to take the protesters away.
Other protesters seen traveling from their home towns to Beijing to take part in the demonstration were forced to give their fingerprints and blood samples, and prevented from traveling to the capital, Reuters said.
Activists told The Globe and Mail that the police likely found out about the protest by monitoring their conversations on WeChat.
Activists say we are now seeing 'human rights violations not seen in decades' in China.
China has a long history of suppressing dissenting views and actions. But Sophie Richardson, the China director at Human Rights Watch, said the number of people being targeted and the extent of their punishment has worsened under Xi's rule.
"While life for peaceful critics in modern China has never been easy, there have been times of relative latitude," she told Business Insider.
"President Xi's tenure is most certainly not one of those times — not just in the numbers of people being targeted, but in the use of harsh charges and long sentences, and in the state's adoption of rights-gutting laws.
"Add to that the alarming expansion of high-tech surveillance and mass arbitrary detentions across Xinjiang, and you've got a scale of human rights violations we have not seen in decades."
The United Nations recently accused China of holding one million Uighurs in internment camps in the western province of Xinjiang. China has rejected the allegations as "completely untrue."
Does the Chinese Communist Party care that people know what's going on?
Probably not.
Richardson said: "The Chinese government and Communist Party will keep treating people however badly they want unless the price for doing so is made too high for them — clearly this calculus finally changed recently for them with respect to Liu Xia," referring to the activist's wife who was released to Beijing after eight years of house arrest.
"That's why relentless public and private interventions on behalf of those unjustly treated is critical — to keep driving up the cost of abuses many people inside and outside China find unacceptable," Richardson added.
But there's a catch, says Frances Eve, a researcher at Chinese Human Rights Defenders. While the Party has released political activists due to public pressure in the past, it has kept family members in China to make sure the activists don't speak out.
Eve told The Guardian in July: "The Chinese Communist Party has become more immune to international pressure to release activists and let them go overseas, coinciding with its growing economic clout.
"Nowadays, on the rare occasion it does allow an activist to go abroad, it's with the sinister knowledge that their immediate or extended family remains in China and can be used as an effective hostage to stifle their free speech.

@Shenzhou. The Chinese Communist Party has long sought to suppress ideas that could undermine the sweeping authority it has over its 1.4 billion citizens — and the state can go to extreme lengths to maintain its grip.
In just the past few years, the government has attempted to muzzle critics by making them disappear without a trace, ordering people to physically barge into their houses, or locking up those close to critics as a kind of blackmail.
Even leaving China isn't always enough. The state has continued to clamp down on dissent by harassing and threatening family members who remain in the country.
1. Make you disappear.

Wang Quanzhang, a human rights lawyer who defended political activists in the past, has not been seen since he was taken into detention three years ago.
He was taken away in August 2015 alongside more than 200 lawyers, legal assistants, and activists for government questioning. Three years later, he remains the only person in that cohort who still isn't free.
Nobody has heard from him since. His lawyers, friends, and family have all tried contacting him, but have consistently been denied access, Radio Free Asia reported.
The lawyer's friends and family, and other lawyers, have tried visiting him, but to no avail. His wife, Li Wenzu, has been routinely harassed by Chinese police for protesting Wang's detention, according to the BBC.
His wife recently received a message from a friend saying that Wang was alive and "in reasonable mental and physical health," but was denied further information when she contacted authorities.
2. Physically drag you away so you can't speak to the media.

A woman was dragged away by men in plainclothes after she tried to share footage of an explosion outside the US embassy in Beijing with journalists on the ground in July.
As the woman was trying to share images of the scene with journalists, a group of men took her across, claiming it was a "family matter," according to Agence France-Presse reporter Becky Davis who witnessed it.
The woman claimed she didn't know any of the men. You can watch the whole scene unfold in this video.
China was likely trying to cover up news of the explosion. Weibo, a popular microblogging platform, reportedly wiped all posts about it in the hours following the incident, before allowing some media coverage of it later on.
While it remains unclear who the men were and why they took the woman, Davis said it is common for plainclothes police to act as family members and take people away.
3. Put your family under house arrest, even if they haven't been accused of a crime.

China has kept family members of prominent activists under house arrest to prevent them from traveling abroad and publicly protesting the regime.
In 2010 Liu Xia tried to travel to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of her husband, Liu Xiaobo, a human rights activist who at the time was imprisoned for "inciting subversion" with his protests.
She wasn't allowed to go and was placed under house arrest with 24-hour surveillance. She had no access to a cell phone or computer, even though she hadn't been charged with a crime.
She was allowed to leave the house in 2017 to attend the sea burial of her husband after his death from liver cancer, before being sent to the other side of the country by authorities so she wouldn't see memorials held by supporters in Beijing.
Liu Xia was detained in her house for eight years in total. She was released to Berlin in July after a sustained lobbying effort from the German government for Liu's release.
Still, she is not completely free: she is effectively prevented from appearing in public or speaking to media for fear of reprisal from Beijing. She fears that if she does, the government will punish her brother, who remains in Beijing, her friend Tienchi Martin-Liao told The Guardian.
4. Threaten to kill your family and forbid them from leaving China
Even when dissidents leave China, they are not safe. Many Chinese expats and exiles have seen family members who remained in China pay the price for their protest.
One example is Chinese-Canadian actress Anastasia Lin, who repeatedly speaks out to criticise China's human rights record.
She told Business Insider earlier this year that her uncles and elderly grandparents had their visas to Hong Kong — a Chinese region that operates under a separate and independent rule of law — revoked in 2016.
Security agents also contacted Lin's father saying that if she continued to speak up, the family "would be persecuted like in the Cultural Revolution" — a bloody ten-year period under Mao Zedong when millions of Chinese people were persecuted, imprisoned, and tortured.
Shawn Zhang, a student in Vancouver who has criticized President Xi Jinping online, told Business Insider earlier this year that police incessantly called his parents asking them to take down his posts.
The family members of five journalists with Radio Free Asia — a US-funded media outlet — were also recently detained to stop their reporting on human rights abuses against the Uighur minority in China's Xinjiang region
5. Take down your social media posts.
Chinese tech companies routinely delete social media posts and forbid users from posting keywords used to criticize the government.
Censorship in China has soared under Xi Jinping's presidency, with thousands of censorship directives issued every year.
Posts and keywords are usually only banned for a few hours or a few days until an event or news cycle is over.
In February, popular chat and microblogging platforms WeChat and Weibo banned users from writing posts with the letter N when it was used to criticize a plan allowing Xi to rule without term limits
6. Remove your posts from the internet — and reportedly throw you in a psychiatric hospital.
In July, Dong Yaoqiong live-streamed herself pouring black ink over a poster of Xi Jinping in Shanghai, while criticizing the Communist Party's "oppressive brain control" over the country.
Hours later, she reported seeing police officers at her door and the video — which can still be seen here — was removed from her social media account.
She has not been seen in public since, although Voice of America and Radio Free Asia reported that she was being held at a psychiatric hospital in her home province of Hunan, citing local activists.

@Shenzhou. I just don't understand.. Maybe you can help me. North Korea has free housing, free college education, free medical care, low crime, and a wonderful loved leader, but you risk your life and they shoot you if you try to leave the country. On the other hand, Oppressive, cruel, war mongering, racist, overbearing police, USA has millions risking their lives to COME here. If you do cross the line, you are given food, transportation, and money. Anyone that wants to leave is free to do so. Now, when you look for the VERY POOREST people in the USA, you find that they have better living conditions than two thirds of the world. I don't understand how you can support these criminals.

@Shenzhou. Yes, let's take a look at Hong Kong. On mainland China the rich are very rich and the poor are very poor. In North Korea, the rich are rich and the poor are poor. Just like some work hard, save, and invest wisely, and others are lazy, spend foolishly, and never invest in anything. It's not the job of government to STEAL from the first in order to give to the second. Sure, there's a "common good" that must be paid for, but that's accomplished through a higher tax rate that scales up the more you make. If the problem with Capitalism (, as you say, is the unequal sharing of blessings, then the problem with Communism is the equal sharing of miseries! Those show houses to impress the world media, doesn't hide the fact that there's no running water. no electricity, and no food supply for the vast majority of North Korea. Again... if it's so great, then why is it a prison camp? Why shoot those desperate to leave? Does China shoot those that wish to leave? We will put those VERY SMART CHINESE that are leaving Hong Kong to work here in the USA and they will be the stone in your shoe, going forward.

@Shenzhou. WAIT, wait... one minute you're telling me how China is overtaking the USA and the next minute that you are only a developing country! I tell you over and over... the numbers are a lie. The buildings are poor construction with no electricity or plumbing, the dams in China are collapsing, the economy is going broke, the Indians are humiliating the Chinese military at the Ladak border, and the Corona virus D mutation is ravaging the cities. You listen to the Communists, they tell you that it's all sunny skies! Homeless?? No homeless! Oh, we just had a million people getting flooded, but they're not homeless huh?? No, education is NOT for everyone. College is for the smart, not the stupid. If college is free in China, then why so many Chinese coming to the USA to attend school here?? They pay $100,000 to go to OUR schools???

@Shenzhou. North Korea sharply stepped up trade in coal and oil products last year in defiance of UN sanctions through the apparent help of China’s shipping industry, a UN panel has said.
The annual report to the UN Security Council by sanctions experts went online on Friday and inexplicably disappeared later in the day, with the text itself noting China’s reservations about the findings.
Publishing photographs, shipping logs and submissions from member-states, the panel said that North Korea had violated the total UN prohibition on exporting coal, as well as restrictions on imports of refined petroleum.

“The continued violation by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea of commodity export bans not only flouts security council resolutions but serves to fund a revenue stream that has historically contributed to the country’s prohibited nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” the report said.

Andrew Cuomo resigns inwake of damning report on sexual harassment

The panel, quoting data from an unspecified country, estimated that North Korea exported 3.7m tons of coal between January and August last year, grossing around $370m.
Most coal exports were transferred from North Korean ships to Chinese barges, which often sailed up the Yangtze River to make deliveries, it said.
In a new development, North Korea has also been spotted sending coal into the ocean for pick-up on self-propelled barges that are easier to evade detection, the report said.
As North Korea’s fleet is not known to include such barges, they are likely from China, with 47 shipments from May to August last year directly reaching ports on China’s Hangzhou Bay near the economic powerhouse of Shanghai, it said.
The report said that the North also far exceeded a UN restriction on importing more than 500,000 barrels a year in refined petroleum.
Citing the United States as its source, the panel said North Korea had imported more than 3.89m barrels of refined petroleum products between January and October 2019.
China is North Korea’s primary political and economic ally and had backed UN sanctions out of frustration with Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile tests.
North Korea reacts to Pompeo 'insult' with threat to cut off talks
But Beijing has since called for an easing of sanctions after leader Kim Jong-un froze long-range missile and nuclear test launches following three meetings with US President Donald Trump. North Korea a has fired a series of short-range missiles off its east coast, which the South decried as “inappropriate” amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
The United States has insisted on maintaining sanctions as leverage, although Trump has voiced admiration for Kim and recently sent him a letter with a plan to revive ties, according to the two countries.
The UN panel in February released a summary of its conclusions, but the more exhaustive report was delayed.
The full report said that China as well as Russia had asked the panel for “more conclusive evidence” of its findings.

@Shenzhou. No, I said PRIVATE OWNERSHIP of those goods and services. THEIR EXCLUSION IS an attribute of Marxism, that's been adopted by Communism. Now, I've shown you the substandard apartments that you phrase as "homes". I've shown you MILLIONS of people that have no home due to floods. Entire families crammed into small government built defective flats. I could even show you how the "definition" of homeless is different in the USA than around the world, which greatly expands the numbers. Unfinished ghost cities that have wasted untold government resources, and a lack of trust in ANY fact or figure that comes from the Communist overlords. The people of the Capitalist countries have the wealth AND the freedom to move to ANY socialist or Communist system. Very few do. In fact, we have tens of thousands coming here! WHY? Because of landlords evicting non paying tenants? No, because a luxury two bedroom apartment can be had for a fourth of average income, and a 18-2000 square foot home purchased for even less. How many Chinese in Canada and USA? Now, how many of USA and Canada living in China in the workers paradise? You work all your life you are still a peasant. In the USA you work all your life and you become rich. You work smart AND hard AND take a risk, you become a millionaire! FREE to start any business. FREE to choose to live WHERE and HOW you wish. CHOICE that leads to competition and ultimately to SUPERIOR goods and services. Not a system of government run, inefficient, corrupt central planning that responds too little and too late to the wants and needs of the people that IT IS SUPPOSE TO SERVE. Unlike in China where the wishes, hopes, and dreams of the CPC is put first. Every decision, every question, every plan is determined by the will of the ELITE in the party and not by the people that have no ability to REMOVE them from ruling unlike the Capitalist countries where elections can be held.

@Shenzhou. Did they teach you THIS in China?
The Cambodian genocide (Khmer: អំពើប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍កម្ពុជា, Âmpeu Prâlai Puchsas Kămpŭchéa) was the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Communist Party of Kampuchea general secretary Pol Pot, who radically pushed Cambodia towards an entirely self-sufficient agrarian socialist society. It resulted in the deaths of 1.5 to 2 million people from 1975 to 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia's 1975 population (c. 7.8 million).[1][2][3]
Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge had long been supported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and CCP Chairman Mao Zedong;[4][5][6][7][8][9] it is estimated that at least 90% of the foreign aid which the Khmer Rouge received came from China, and in 1975 alone, at least US$1 billion in interest-free economic and military aid came from China.[9][10][11] After it seized power in April 1975, the Khmer Rouge wanted to turn the country into an agrarian socialist republic, founded on the policies of ultra-Maoism and influenced by the Cultural Revolution.[4][6][12][13][14] Pol Pot and other Khmer Rouge officials met with Mao in Beijing in June 1975, receiving approval and advice, while high-ranking CCP officials such as CCP Politburo Standing Committee member Zhang Chunqiao later visited Cambodia to offer help.[4][6][8][15] To fulfill its goals, the Khmer Rouge emptied the cities and forced Cambodians to relocate to labor camps in the countryside, where mass executions, forced labor, physical abuse, malnutrition, and disease were rampant.[16][17] In 1976, the Khmer Rouge renamed the country Democratic Kampuchea.
The massacres ended when the Vietnamese military invaded in 1978 and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. By January 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people had died due to the Khmer Rouge's policies, including 200,000–300,000 Chinese Cambodians, 90,000 Muslims, and 20,000 Vietnamese Cambodians.[18][19] 20,000 people passed through the Security Prison 21, one of the 196 prisons the Khmer Rouge operated,[3][20] and only seven adults survived.[21] The prisoners were taken to the Killing Fields, where they were executed (often with pickaxes, to save bullets)[22] and buried in mass graves. Abduction and indoctrination of children was widespread, and many were persuaded or forced to commit atrocities.[23] As of 2009, the Documentation Center of Cambodia has mapped 23,745 mass graves containing approximately 1.3 million suspected victims of execution. Direct execution is believed to account for up to 60% of the genocide's death toll,[24] with other victims succumbing to starvation, exhaustion, or disease.

@Shenzhou. Between 1958 and 1962, 45 million people starved to death in China as the result of the largest socialist experiment in history. Mao called this experiment the “Great Leap Forward,” but for China it was a disaster.
Today, China is the world’s leading export nation, ahead of the United States and Germany. Above all, never before in history have so many people escaped poverty in such a short time as in the past decades in China. According to official World Bank figures, the percentage of extremely poor people in China in 1981 stood at 88.3%. By 2015 only 0.7% of the Chinese population was living in extreme poverty. In this period, the number of poor people in China fell from 878 million to less than ten million.
The Problem With Prevailing Explanations Of China’s Success
It is widely believed that China’s success is based on a uniquely Chinese “third way,” a political and economic model that occupies the ground between capitalism and socialism. According to this interpretation, China is successful because the state continues to play an important role in the Chinese economy. But this interpretation is wrong.
In fact, China’s success provides clear evidence of the power of capitalism. Under Mao, the state had an omnipotent grip over China’s economy. What has happened over the past few decades can be summed up in a few sentences: China has progressively embraced the tenets of free-market economics, introduced private ownership, and gradually reduced the influence of the once all-powerful state over the Chinese economy. That the state still plays a major role today is simply because China is in the midst of a transformation process that began with complete state dominance of the economy.
However, as the Chinese economist Zhang Weiying stresses, China’s success in recent years has “not been because of the state, but in spite of the state.” Here are some facts:
Impressed By The Success Of Singapore
For leading Chinese politicians and economists, 1978 marked the beginning of a busy period of foreign travel to bring back valuable economic insights and apply them at home. Chinese delegations made over 20 trips to more than 50 countries including Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Canada, France, Germany and Switzerland. The Chinese were especially impressed by the economic successes of other Asian countries. Although barely acknowledged, the economic dynamism of China’s neighboring countries in particular was seen as a role model.
On his visit to Singapore, Deng was impressed by the local economy, which was far more dynamic than the Chinese economy. Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding father and long-time prime minister, remembers: “I had told Deng over dinner in 1978 in Singapore that we, the Singapore Chinese, were the descendants of illiterate landless peasants from Guandong and Fujian in South China … There was nothing that Singapore had done that China could not do, and do better. He stayed silent then. When I read that he had told the Chinese people to do better than Singapore, I knew he had taken up the challenge I quietly tossed to him that night fourteen years earlier.”
However, this newfound enthusiasm for other countries’ economic models did not lead to an instant conversion to capitalism, nor did China immediately ditch its planned economy in favor of a free-market economy. Instead, there was a slow process of transition, starting with tentative efforts to grant public enterprises greater autonomy, that took years, even decades, to mature and relied on bottom-up initiatives as much as on top-down, party-led reforms.
More Private Property, More Liberalized Markets
Long before the official ban on private farming was lifted in 1982, peasant-led initiatives to reintroduce private ownership against socialist doctrine sprang up across China. The outcome was extremely successful: people were no longer starving and agricultural productivity increased rapidly. By 1983, the process of de-collectivizing Chinese agriculture was almost complete. Mao’s great socialist experiment, which had cost so many millions of lives, was over.
Initially, the growth in private ownership across China was driven by increasing numbers of small-scale entrepreneurs setting up businesses, which were only allowed to employ a maximum of seven people. The increasing erosion of this socialist system that exclusively permitted public ownership under the management of a state-run economic planning authority was accelerated by the creation of Special Economic Areas. These were areas where the socialist economic system was suspended and capitalist experiments were permitted. The official proclamation of the market economy at the Fourteenth Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in October 1992—a step that would have been unthinkable only a few years before—proved a milestone on the road to capitalism.
To understand the dynamics of the Chinese reforms, it is crucial to note that the extent to which they were initiated “from above” was only one part of the picture. Many contributing factors happened spontaneously – a triumph of market forces over government policy. Key institutional innovations were instigated, not in the offices of the Politburo, but by countless anonymous agents acting on a local level, and in many cases against the rules.
China’s development in recent decades demonstrates that rising economic growth—even when accompanied by rising inequality—benefits the majority of the population. Hundreds of millions of people in China are far better off today as a direct result of Deng’s motto “let some people get rich first.”
Which Path Will China Take Now?
For all the positive developments China has seen in recent decades, a lot still remains to be done. Although its economic growth was accompanied by an increase in economic freedom, there are still deficits in many areas. China has both a strong need for further reforms and great potential for further improvement and growth. Zhang—who, as well as being an astute analyst of the Chinese economy, has himself contributed significantly to its development—stresses: “China’s reform started with an all-powerful government under the planned economy. The reason China could have sustained economic growth during the process of reform was that the government managed less and the proportion of state-owned enterprises decreased, not the other way around. It was precisely the relaxation of government control that brought about market prices, sole proprietorships, town and village enterprises, private enterprises, foreign enterprises, and other non-state-owned entities.” Taken together, all of this formed the basis for China’s unprecedented economic rise.
As Zhang emphasizes, this process of transformation is far from complete: “Government control over large amounts of resources and excessive intervention into the economy are the direct cause of cronyism between officials and businessmen, are a breeding ground for official corruption, seriously corrupt commercial culture, and damage the market’s rules of the game.” Accordingly, he sees a strong need for further reforms toward marketization, reduction of government control over resources and intervention into the economy, and the establishment of a true rule-of-law society.
Whether or not China will go down that road remains to be seen. The process of reform has never been a smooth and consistent one—rather, it has been marred by frequent setbacks, especially in recent years, when instances of governmental intervention in the economy have set back the reform process. The greatest danger for China is that the Chinese themselves will start to believe what many people in the West already think—that the country has discovered a special “third way” between capitalism and socialism and that economic success has been achieved not in spite of, but because of, the great influence of the state.

@Shenzhou. Nate Thayer recounted that "The United States has scrupulously avoided any direct involvement in aiding the Khmer Rouge", instead providing non-lethal aid to non-communist Khmer People's National Liberation Front (KPNLF) and Armee Nationale Sihanouk (ANS) insurgents, which rarely cooperated with the Khmer Rouge on the battlefield, despite being coalition partners, and which fought with the Khmer Rouge dozens of times prior to 1987. According to Thayer, "In months spent in areas controlled by the three resistance groups and during scores of encounters with the Khmer Rouge ... I never once encountered aid given to the [non-communist resistance] in use by or in possession of the Khmer Rouge."[31]
State Department investigationEdit
Although U.S. policy was to provide support to "15,000 ineffective 'noncommunist' rebel fighters", Joel Brinkley stated that "charges made the rounds that some of the American aid, $215 million so far, was finding its way to the Khmer Rouge." A subsequent investigation led by Thomas Fingar of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) "found some leakage—including sharing of ammunition, joint defense of a bridge, and using one truck to transport both 'noncommunist' and Khmer Rouge fighters to a fight." Fingar was dismissive of his own investigators's report, which he characterized as an "epiphenomenon in a flea circus": "Isn't the larger objective here defeating the Vietnamese puppets in Phnom Penh?

@Shenzhou. A number of countries and international bodies have imposed sanctions against North Korea. Currently, many sanctions are concerned with North Korea's nuclear weapons program and were imposed after its first nuclear test in 2006.
The United States imposed sanctions in the 1950s and tightened them further after international bombings against South Korea by North Korean agents during the 1980s, including the Rangoon bombing and the bombing of Korean Air Flight 858. In 1988, the United States added North Korea to its list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Sanctions against North Korea started to ease during the 1990s when South Korea's then-liberal government pushed for engagement policies with the North. The Clinton administration signed the Agreed Framework with North Korea in 1994. However, the relaxation was short-lived; North Korea continued its nuclear program and officially withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003, causing countries to reinstate various sanctions. UN Security Council Resolutions were passed after North Korea conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013, 2016, and 2017. Initially, sanctions were focused on trade bans on weapons-related materials and goods but expanded to luxury goods to target the elites. Further sanctions expanded to cover financial assets, banking transactions, and general travel and trade.[1]
Supranational bodiesEdit
European UnionEdit
The European Union has imposed a series of sanctions against North Korea since 2006. These include:[2]
embargoing arms and related materials.[2]
banning the export of aviation and rocket fuel to North Korea.
banning the trade of gold, precious metals, and diamonds with the North Korean government.[2]
banning the import of minerals from North Korea, with some exemptions for coal and iron ore.
banning the export of luxury goods.[2]
restricting financial support for trade with North Korea.[2]
restricting investment and financial activities.[2]
inspecting and monitoring cargoes imported to and exported from North Korea.[2]
prohibiting certain North Korean individuals from entering the EU.[3]
On 21 September 2017, EU banned oil exports and investments in North Korea.[4]

@Shenzhou. SO WHO IS HURTING NORTH KOREA THROUGH SANCTIONS????
The UN Security Council has passed a number of resolutions since North Korea's first nuclear test in 2006.[5]
Resolution 1718, passed in 2006, demanded that North Korea cease nuclear testing and prohibited the export of some military supplies and luxury goods to North Korea.[6][2] The UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on North Korea was established, supported by the Panel of Experts.[7][8][9]
Resolution 1874, passed after the second nuclear test in 2009, broadened the arms embargo. Member states were encouraged to inspect ships and destroy any cargo suspected of being related to the nuclear weapons program.[2][5]
Resolution 2087, passed in January 2013 after a satellite launch, strengthened previous sanctions by clarifying a state's right to seize and destroy cargo suspected of heading to or from North Korea for purposes of military research and development.[2][5]
Resolution 2094, passed in March 2013 after the third nuclear test, imposed sanctions on money transfers and aimed to shut North Korea out of the international financial system.[2][5]
Resolution 2270, passed in March 2016 after the fourth nuclear test, further strengthened existing sanctions.[10] It banned the export of gold, vanadium, titanium, and rare earth metals. The export of coal and iron were also banned, with an exemption for transactions that were purely for "livelihood purposes."[11][5]
Resolution 2321, passed in November 2016, capped North Korea's coal exports and banned exports of copper, nickel, zinc, and silver.[12][13] In February 2017, a UN panel said that 116 of 193 member states had not yet submitted a report on their implementation of these sanctions, though China had.[14]
Resolution 2371, passed in August 2017, banned all exports of coal, iron, lead, and seafood. The resolution also imposed new restrictions on North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank and prohibited any increase in the number of North Koreans working in foreign countries.[15]
Resolution 2375, passed on 11 September 2017, limited North Korean crude oil and refined petroleum product imports; banned joint ventures, textile exports, natural gas condensate and liquid imports; and banned North Korean nationals from working abroad in other countries.[16]
Resolution 2397, passed on 22 December 2017 after the launch of a Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, limited North Korean crude oil and refined petroleum product imports to 500,000 barrels per year, banned the export of food, machinery and electrical equipment, called for the repatriation of all North Korean nationals earning income abroad within 24 months. The resolution also authorized member states to seize and inspect any vessel in their territorial waters found to be illicitly providing oil or other prohibited products to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.[17]
United Nations agencies are restricted in the aid they can give to North Korea because of the sanctions, but they can help with nutrition, health, water, and sanitation.[18]

You ignorant moron.. Are the FN democrats talking about THESE DEAD??... On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@avocadeous I think that most everything is confusing to you. Do you need someone else to teach you their observations? This effect, that principle, another meme. Spelling boy as "Boi" thinking it's cool. Do you come up with your own thoughts?
These zeroes that badmouth the USA, do so out of two reasons. First, they're ignorant to history, and second they've never been here or spent anytime discovering why a million people a year risk life and limb to make this their new home. What do these places have that compare to the USA? Our POOREST people live better than two thirds of the world, and have air conditioning, cell phones, transportation, and a cornucopia of food! They've never traveled to these bung hole nations with cramped apartments, lukewarm showers, and polluted streets. The Nordic nations would be speaking Russian, were it not for the American taxpayer.

@michelbeauregard7326 Were you moaning when oba-mao was golfing? If we count every penny for salary for people already on the payroll, and count days when he was on vacation, weekends, and the cost of airforce one. THEN multiply that by a HUNDRED, it wouldn't come close to the money Obummer cost the taxpayer in office. Trump's WIFE even cut staff that pays for a good part of that just by HERSELF. He takes world leaders golfing to establish a relationship with them, is that counted too? Obama played 306 rounds while in office, a healthy amount, but well short of the estimated 1,200 rounds Woodrow Wilson played during his term, or the 800 rounds that Dwight Eisenhower played as POTUS. Still, it's more than his immediate predecessors George W. Bush or Bill Clinton, both of whom were golfers as well. Can we count the 1.5 billion that Obummer GAVE to Iran IN CASH? Or..... Are you concerned that all the excess spending that the government borrowed from George Washington to George Bush totalled TEN TRILLION DOLLARS... But when Obummer left it HAD DOUBLED TO TWENTY TRILLION? Were you adding that all up? How about the soul train parties at the white house with black entertainers hosted for dinners and lavish entertainment, are you going to count that too?

@michelbeauregard7326 1)are you counting this... WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is saving the federal government millions on personnel expenses at the White House compared to the previous administration.
The latest White House personnel report shows there are 374 people on the White House payroll, which is nearly 100 fewer staffers than President Barack Obama employed during the same time in his presidency.
This year, President Trump also cut his payroll by $500,000 over last year.
In 2015, President Obama spent $40.9 million on his White House staff. The latest report shows President Trump is spending $35.2 million.
First lady Melania Trump is also running a lean office. She has 10 employees compared to Michelle Obama, who in 2009 employed 24.
The president's top aides, like National Security Advisor John Bolton, Senior Counselor Kellyanne Conway and Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, all make $179,700 per year.
The lowest paid staffer on Trump's White House payroll makes $30,000 per year.
Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution mandates the president be compensated for his work, which has been set by Congress at $400,000 per year.
As a candidate, President Trump made a pledge to donate his salary and he's made good on it.
Each quarter, the president has written a check from his personal account to a different agency.
So far, he's donated to the National Parks Service under the Department of Interior, the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Education, and Health and Human Services.
Last year, the National Parks Service used the president's salary, along with matching funds, to make improvements to the Antietam National Battlefield.
Following her father's lead, the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, doesn't take a salary for her work as an adviser to her father.
Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also refuses to accept a salary for his work at the White House.

@michelbeauregard7326 You have to get your head out of the teacher union ass and get the real news..... Hispanics Flourishing in Trump Economy
-The Hill
“President Trump's economy is the rising tide that is lifting all boats. This is especially true for Hispanics, who were among the biggest victims of the low-growth, high-regulation economy under President Obama,” Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz writes, citing recent reports that median income for Hispanic households grew nearly 4 percent last year.
Dow, S&P Surge to Record Closes as Economy Steams Ahead
-The Washington Post
“U.S. stock markets smashed records Thursday,” Thomas Heath reports, as investors “tuned out politics” and focused on “a flourishing economy.” Both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average closed at record highs. “It’s the S&P’s 19th record close this year and its 89th since the 2016 elections. The Dow recorded its 12th closing high of the year and its 100th new high since the presidential election.”
U.S. Weekly Jobless Claims Fall as Labor Market Strength Continues
-Reuters
“The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly fell last week, hitting near a 49-year low in a sign the job market remains strong,” Reuters reports. “Initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell by 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted level of 201,000 for the week ended Sept. 15, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That is the lowest level since November 1969.”
Trump Visits Carolinas to Assess Damage from Hurricane Florence
-New York Post
“President Trump toured the Carolinas on Wednesday to survey the wreckage and rampant flooding in the wake of Hurricane Florence, praising rescue efforts and meeting victims of the devastating storm,” Bob Fredericks reports. “In moments of despair, we’ve witnessed the true character of the American people,” the President said.
Gordon Chang: Trump's Latest China tariffs Are the Right Thing To Do
-Fox News
“The fundamental problem facing the global trading system today is that since the turn of the century China has behaved like an outlaw at the center of world commerce,” Gordon Chang writes. “China has, through theft and forced taking, grabbed U.S. intellectual property worth hundreds of billions of dollars each year. This has, with justification, been called the biggest theft in history.”
Trump Hit Iran With Oil Sanctions. So Far, They’re Working.
-The New York Times
Clifford Krauss writes that President Trump’s oil sanctions on Iran—part of the President’s withdrawal from the fatally flawed Iran nuclear deal—are effectively weakening the regime’s leverage as oil companies across the globe bail out of deals with Tehran. “The president is doing the opposite of what the experts said, and it seems to be working out,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy and Economic Research.
Trump Administration Making Progress in Fight Against Opioid Epidemic
-USA Today
“The scale of America’s opioid crisis can be daunting. The latest numbers show that more than 72,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2017,” Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar writes. “While the epidemic still rages, we are now seeing signs of national progress . . . The number of Americans initiating heroin use dropped by around half from 2016 to 2017.”
SBA Continues to Help Hurricane Maria Recovery Efforts
-El Nuevo Dia
Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon shares how the Federal Government is continuing to help with Hurricane Maria recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. “In the year since Hurricane Maria struck, the SBA has approved 52,400 disaster loans totaling nearly $2 billion,” she notes. “Survivors of natural disasters can register at DisasterAssistance.gov to see the types of assistance for which they are eligible.”
Cybersecurity: Donald Trump's New Strategy Allows More Offensive Operations
-USA Today
“The federal government has more authority to go on offense against foreign adversaries under a new cybersecurity strategy signed by President Donald Trump, officials said Thursday,” David Jackson writes. “We are going to do a lot of things offensively. Our adversaries need to know that,” National Security Adviser John Bolton said.

@michelbeauregard7326 Ahh man. Comon. Do they let you teach? Let's say we have employment figures. 4% unemployment. But, they're not telling you that the jobs are low wage service sector, bartender, massage parlor, and people working two jobs to make ends meet (him and her, or if you're a Democrat, him and him) But, Trump comes in and opens up drilling. BAM! More oilfield workers. Offshore drillers BAM! More oil platform workers, steel mills BAM! More steel workers. Manufacturers coming back to OUR shores BAM! High wage manufacturing jobs! He even met with trade representatives at the white house to get them to commit to more training programs BAM! More trade jobs! When Trump said he'd get 4% growth, they laughed! He got it! You're not getting the whole picture. Just the part that the leftists are telling you. Why do you think Trump calls it fake news? Half the country voted for him, are they all stupid? Now, like I said.. If it's bad, you blame Trump. If it's good, you say Obama started it. I say "the buck stops here". You get held to account for YOUR TIME IN OFFICE. You play with the deck that YOU are handed. Trump inherited a mess! He doesn't sit around blaming Obamao. Where are all the marchers for higher wage that we had with Obummer? All back to work, MAKING MORE MONEY. And those job opening are in SKILLED LABOR for which the talent and skills don't exist. You have education in the health field, watch how fast you get hired!

We don't need no oil.. The United States likely surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest crude oil producer earlier this year, based on preliminary estimates in EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook(STEO). In February, U.S. crude oil production exceeded that of Saudi Arabia for the first time in more than two decades. In June and August, the United States surpassed Russia in crude oil production for the first time since February 1999.
Although EIA does not publish crude oil production forecasts for Russia and Saudi Arabia in STEO, EIA expects that U.S. crude oil production will continue to exceed Russian and Saudi Arabian crude oil production for the remaining months of 2018 and through 2019.
U.S. crude oil production, particularly from light sweet crude oil grades, has rapidly increased since 2011. Much of the recent growth has occurred in areas such as the Permian region in western Texas and eastern New Mexico, the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico, and the Bakken region in North Dakota and Montana.
The oil price decline in mid-2014 resulted in U.S. producers reducing their costs and temporarily scaling back crude oil production. However, after crude oil prices increased in early 2016, investment and production began increasing later that year. By comparison, Russia and Saudi Arabia have maintained relatively steady crude oil production growth in recent years

No waaaay Bernie! They're just here to pick tomatoes! Meanwhile, the Europeans are WAKING UP TO TRUMP... All Visegrad countries have now rejected the United Nations pact on the treatment of migrants worldwide, after Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini on Sunday (25 November) announced his country’s position after the EU summit.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was approved in July by all 193 member UN nations except the United States, which backed out last year, and is due to be ratified formally in December.
The pact was conceived after the biggest influx of migrants into Europe since World War Two, many fleeing conflicts and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
The list of countries pulling out from the global migration pact is getting longer by the day. At least seven EU countries said they will not sign or even send envoys.
After Hungary, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia and Bulgaria, Slovenia too has made it plain that it will not send a representative at the intergovernmental conference in Marrakesh on 10 December.
Outside the EU, Australia, Switzerland and Israel also announced they will not sign the agreement.
In Belgium, a coalition partner to the government of Charles Michel, the Flemish nationalist N-VA, said the pact was “particularly problematic” for them.

@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 We'll, get back to me, after the pause. First it was global warming.. But it didn't warm. So they changed to climate change, but then had to face the fact that it's always been changing. Then when the change "paused", they said it was natural for change, not to be linear! Meanwhile, middle America wanted Nuclear. Carbon free MODERN nuclear, like the French have. But, the SAME environmental nuts, stopped that! Now, after fifty years of climate hysteria, the Sierra club says Hmmm maybe we should take another look at nuclear! The rest of the The loonies say, just walk! It's nice and warm here in Berkeley in January... Who needs fossil fuels? Besides Uhhhh fusion is just around the bend!!

@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 Yeah, yeah. There's ALWAYS a new explanation, a new story. Everyone is just "misinterpreting" the data! Here's their press release.... Using the data that were available at the time (through 2012), the last climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there had been no statistically significant increase in global surface temperature from 1998-2012.
According to a new NOAA analysis, the warming trend during that period was somewhat smaller than the longer-term (1951-2012) trend, but it wasn’t zero. And with the latest data calibrations and the most recent two years of global temperatures added to the series—including record-warm 2014—the warming experienced since 1998 is on par with the rate observed in the second half of the 20th century.
Yeah, it's the latest "data calibrations" that put us back into warming territory again! Barahahaha.. This has been going on ever since the hockey stick episode, where it was found that the numbers were being doctored. Now, they can't doctor the numbers anymore, so they just "recalibrate" the data! Barahahaha.. Comon, wake up! Where's the calamity? Where's all the hurricanes? Flooding? Drought? And especially, WHERE IS THE PEAK OIL EXPERTS now that we are swimming in an ocean of plentiful oil?? Don't these guys ever atone for their lies, and misinformation? The stock market is going to COLLAPSE if Trump is elected!! That's what our "top economists" say!! The Trump economy is just a "flash in the pan". Did you see the news today on the HIGH GROWTH in our economy? Maybe not, because they barely mention it! We've told you for THIRTY YEARS that nuclear was the way to go. You fought, fought, fought. Now, you want to tell us about Climate change? ....... https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-economy-grew-at-3-2-rate-in-first-quarter-11556281892

@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 Now, in addition to that.. We don't care IF you have increased flooding! Those that choose to live near the ocean both ENJOY and benefit from it. Don't cry when conditions change! People that lived in Arizona with a lack of water, was never a crisis to people in BOSTON! This country paid for New Orleans, right? THEY chose to live there, but then Joe Public is expected to bail them out, when a crisis comes. San Francisco is next! They have multi million dollar homes built on a fault line, and they'll expect the rest of the country to pay, when an earthquake destroys them! YOU live there? YOU take the risk! I don't give a shit if the democrats on the coasts get DROWNED. We hate them for how they've destroyed the country. We have millions of illegal immigrants coming here, and the liberal freaks are crying about LOW WAGES. You have people sleeping on the street in San Francisco, shitting on the sidewalk, and the retards want to do what?? Run the entire country?? California just asked "why do we have the highest gas prices in the nation" DUH!!! Gees! Why are people LEAVING California, for TEXAS? DUH!! Now, you want people to listen to you morons over the GLOBE?? https://youtu.be/e82smfcypUc

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

@laurens.2503 YOU ARE 100% CORRECT.. They just continue the big lie against all facts, and with ZERO evidence. The truth is coming out. This was the greatest fraud on the American people in political history.

@pewpewpandas9203 I don't care WHAT the government does that LEFTISTS report on. China and Russia don't have that problem do they? So, you attack OUR government, you're helping them. Who says tax cuts without spending curs are bad? Look at the economy!! We have the best economy in the world!! A little over ONE TIMES GDP. My problem is not the world's problem. And I'm not voting for a leftist, or a globalist, or a, socialist, that wants to MAKE them my problem. There are millions of people that seem to LIKE corporations! Apple computer, LG television, McDonald's, and five thousand others. Take away our corporations and we become Zimbabwe! North Korea and Cuba don't like corporation's either!! Yes, you don't know the FACTS and the WHOLE story, only what you're told by the leftist media that routinely are caught lying! So, yes you are unpatriotic! Every terrorist that's dies in a bomb drop, instantly becomes an innocent bystander! They got YOU mistrusting our OWN government, and believing them! Do these people have you and your countries interest in hand?? The Arabs have 95% of the land in the mideast. The Jews 5%, and THEY WANT THAT FIVE PERCENT!! And have people like you convinced that they deserve to have it! For land? They were given land for peace and now use it to launch missiles into Israel!! Wake up! By the way.. Yes, look at those countries that threw off white rule.. They're in shambles!!

3star2nr What's THIS have to do with anything? A Jeep Wrangler can cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is a descendant of the jeeps that were used by American forces in World War II. Equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, the Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle that is made in another country and brought to China’s shores.
Those taxes on imported cars have become a growing area of friction between the United States and China. American former officials and current advisers to President Trump say that concern about the widening United States deficit in automotive trade has become a pressing issue ahead of the president’s meeting in Florida next month with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

@mustafagenius2110 United States imported $1.6 billion in new and used cars made in China last year, roughly six times less than US auto industry exports to China, according to the Census Bureau.
Most of the cars sold in China by iconic US automakers are made in China
America's most iconic automakers, such as Ford and General Motors, already make cars in China for Chinese customers in joint-venture factories. That means Ford and GM partner with Chinese firms to make and sell cars.
China is GM's biggest market and has been for six years straight, straight, according to the company. Both Ford and GM manufacture the majority of their cars sold to Chinese customers in China. The 25% tariff doesn't apply to cars made in China.
From January to October last year, Ford sold 939,000 cars in China, but only 2% of those were imported, according to the company's most recent report on China.
GM and Ford do export certain models from the United States to China, such as the Ford F150 Raptor. But those models make up a small share of overall sales in China.
So.. Yes. China buys American cars. But ONLY ONES MADE BY CHINESE!! And only so that they can copy trade secrets and manufacturing techniques.

@S. Holliday Just think how exciting it would be for you to emigrate.. You could be "pioneers"
By 1862, Lincoln had decided that Chiriquí Province in Panama would be an ideal location to start an African colony. In August of that year, he invited a group of prominent Africans to the White House to discuss the plan. He stated that the area had "evidence of very rich coal mines...[and] among the finest [harbors] in the world." The delegation reacted negatively to the plan. Later that month, The National Republican published an editorial with the title "The Colony of Linconia", which stated that "the necessary arrangements for founding a colony on a grand scale...have been completed" with the project being headed by Senator Pomeroy. Pomeroy proposed that 100 African-American families travel with him to the site as "pioneers" on October 1. In September, Pomeroy received the permission of the government of the Republic of New Granada, and landowner Ambrose W. Thompson of the Chiriquí Improvement Company.[3]
However, the Central American nations of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras felt threatened and informed Washington that they opposed this plan. United States Secretary of State William H. Seward informed these nations that no plan would continue without their consent, but Lincoln continued to push the plan forward. By late September, after being advised by Seward of the growing international outrage from the Central American nations, Lincoln decided to abandon the idea, angering Pomeroy who had already found 500 "pioneers."[3]

I believe 100% that a wall WILL reduce dramatically the number of illegals entering our country by building it in the middle of Texas. My view on this is compounded by the border patrol that monitor the flow of illegals across the border. They, and not some 20-30 something progressive that has never traveled to another country, and who thinks that THEY are suddenly smarter and more experienced than the public, are the ones that I seek advise from. They OVERWHELMINGLY support a wall. Millenia LA can't figure out how to pay off educa loans, and you want to let THEM decide on national issues? Not very progressive!! Barahahaha Now, how immature and foolish for you to think that blue collar workers are somehow less educated. If you've EVER owned a business you would know just how stupid college grads are! Book mediocre smart. Life abysmally stupid! No experience, no street smarts, no class. Like you! A know it all! You need those dumb farmers, idiot plumbers, moron home builders, and ignorant sanitation workers to all become programmers to wake your dumb ass comatose brain up!

@LonelyGuitarKid FABULOUS COMMENT! The past century that saw a tremendous influx of refugees brought badly needed skills to our country. Plumbers, bricklayers, tile setters, etc.. However, the new "masses yearning to breathe free" are coming seeking welfare, food stamps, and other free handouts given by the leftist run blue cities that are now teetering close to bankruptcy. Overflowing schools, hospitals, prisons, and housing availability. These same leftists are eager to point out the "wealth gap" even as millions of low/no skilled workers are exploited for profits, and help to drive DOWN wages for LEGAL immigrants and other minority groups. Vote these leftists OUT. Treat them like the lepers they are.

Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.

Did the Vloggers learn THIS in school?
The Cambodian genocide (Khmer: អំពើប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍កម្ពុជា, Âmpeu Prâlai Puchsas Kămpŭchéa) was the systematic persecution and killing of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge under the leadership of Communist Party of Kampuchea general secretary Pol Pot, who radically pushed Cambodia towards an entirely self-sufficient agrarian socialist society. It resulted in the deaths of 1.5 to 2 million people from 1975 to 1979, nearly a quarter of Cambodia's 1975 population (c. 7.8 million).[1][2][3]
Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge had long been supported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and CCP Chairman Mao Zedong;[4][5][6][7][8][9] it is estimated that at least 90% of the foreign aid which the Khmer Rouge received came from China, and in 1975 alone, at least US$1 billion in interest-free economic and military aid came from China.[9][10][11] After it seized power in April 1975, the Khmer Rouge wanted to turn the country into an agrarian socialist republic, founded on the policies of ultra-Maoism and influenced by the Cultural Revolution.[4][6][12][13][14] Pol Pot and other Khmer Rouge officials met with Mao in Beijing in June 1975, receiving approval and advice, while high-ranking CCP officials such as CCP Politburo Standing Committee member Zhang Chunqiao later visited Cambodia to offer help.[4][6][8][15] To fulfill its goals, the Khmer Rouge emptied the cities and forced Cambodians to relocate to labor camps in the countryside, where mass executions, forced labor, physical abuse, malnutrition, and disease were rampant.[16][17] In 1976, the Khmer Rouge renamed the country Democratic Kampuchea.
The massacres ended when the Vietnamese military invaded in 1978 and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. By January 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people had died due to the Khmer Rouge's policies, including 200,000–300,000 Chinese Cambodians, 90,000 Muslims, and 20,000 Vietnamese Cambodians.[18][19] 20,000 people passed through the Security Prison 21, one of the 196 prisons the Khmer Rouge operated,[3][20] and only seven adults survived.[21] The prisoners were taken to the Killing Fields, where they were executed (often with pickaxes, to save bullets)[22] and buried in mass graves. Abduction and indoctrination of children was widespread, and many were persuaded or forced to commit atrocities.[23] As of 2009, the Documentation Center of Cambodia has mapped 23,745 mass graves containing approximately 1.3 million suspected victims of execution. Direct execution is believed to account for up to 60% of the genocide's death toll,[24] with other victims succumbing to starvation, exhaustion, or disease.

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

@fanyang8533 All lies?? Just lies!
In His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's last meeting with Chairman Mao Zedong in 1955, Mao drew close to him and said, "Religion is poison."

"At this," recounts His Holiness in his autobiography, Freedom in Exile, "I felt a violent burning sensation all over my face and I was suddenly very afraid. 'So,' I thought, 'you are the destroyer of the Dharma after all.'"
Mao's convictions indeed led to devastating consequences for Tibet as a Buddhist nation—including the destruction of more than 6,000 Tibetan monasteries, the disrobing and killing of thousands of monks and nuns. Estimates put the number of Tibetans tortured, starved, and executed at anywhere from 400,000 to 1.2 million. The International Commission of Jurists officially recognized these atrocities as genocide in 1961.

Today, the Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of Xi Jinping, professes a deep commitment to identifying and caring for the reincarnation of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. But how can we possibly believe that the CCP intends to take care of the future of Tibetan Buddhism? There is no doubt as to what the Chinese regime's actual goal is: total control of the Tibetan people, who revere His Holiness.
Take the subject of reincarnation—believing in rebirth after death. It's a sacred tradition among Tibetan Buddhists with an over nine-hundred-year history. In 2007, the CCP issued a requirement that living Buddhas, who are reincarnated lamas, must be approved by the CCP under Order No. 5. It's an outrageous and disgraceful order, as the Dalai Lama pointed out at the time while giving assurances that clear guidelines will be issued about his reincarnation, "to leave no room for doubt and deception."
Is Order No. 5 the action of a government that truly intends to protect Tibetan Buddhism? It is not the business of any government to tell a religious group who ought to lead it. That's their call, plain and simple.
Fortunately, in 2020, the United States countered this grave injustice with the historic Tibet Support and Policy Act (TPSA). The Act commits, among other things, "to support the fundamental rights of Tibetan Buddhists to select, elect and educate their own spiritual leaders."
This landmark legislation also clearly stakes out the United States' position on the Dalai Lama's succession, which "should be left solely to the Tibetan Buddhists to decide, without interference from anyone including the Chinese government." The TPSA also made clear that those who interfere "will be denied entry into the United States."
But the passage of TPSA 2020 was not meaningful only for Tibetans. Because religious freedom is a borderless principle, the Act is a sign of hope and support to the many peoples oppressed by China, including Uighurs, Hongkongers, Southern Mongolians, Falun Gong practitioners, Christians, Taiwanese, and Chinese citizens.

But even with this positive legislation, persecution of Tibetan Buddhists, along with people of faith from every corner of the CCP's reach, continues unabated. The CCP, through committees chaired by party leaders set up in each monastery in Tibet, manages every aspect of spiritual and educational activities. Young disciples are prevented from becoming monks or nuns, thereby decimating the ranks of those who wish to preserve Buddhism. Prayer flags have been outlawed. Religious rituals and festivals, banned. And the two biggest, most historic monasteries have been demolished.
The Tibetan language itself, a key component of the preservation of the essence of Tibetan Buddhist principles, is under threat, as the CCP aggressively forces students to switch from their native language to Mandarin.
To even possess a small image of His Holiness leads to immediate and severe punishment. And the oppression of Tibet and Tibetans doesn't stop with religious persecution. Arbitrary arrest, detention and imprisonment are common.
Tibet is a police state, and has been for decades. Out of approximately 200 national entities listed by Freedom House, Tibet is ranked along with Syria as the least free. In protest against the China's relentless repressive policies, 157 Tibetans have committed the desperate act of self-immolation since 2009. Of these, 125 are known to have died. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has described the situation in Tibet as "a Hell on Earth."
Still, our will not be extinguished. The International Religious Freedom Summit of 2021, taking place in Washington on July 13-15, provides an opportunity to join hands in proclaiming that religious freedom knows no boundaries. It is an essential human right, and it is under attack in Tibet and throughout the world.
As for the CCP's attempts to select the next leader of Tibetan Buddhists, we stand with His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, when he suggested that the Chinese Communist Party should first identify Mao and Deng's reincarnations. Until then, we hope many will join us at the Summit to highlight these and other religious freedom abuses, as we work together to bring an end to persecution of all faiths, all around the world.

As a Swede currently living in the United States, with actual experience of Swedencare, I must reply to the delusions propagated by professor Robert H. Frank in his June 15 article in the New York Times, titled “What Sweden Can Teach Us About Obamacare.”
It is surprising to read something so out of line with basic economic theory from an economics professor. But theory aside, it would have sufficed for professor Frank to have taken a field trip down to the nearest public emergency room to have his illusions irreparably shattered. The reality is that Swedish healthcare is the perfect illustration of the tragedy of central planning. It is expensive and — even worse — it kills innocent people.
Free universal healthcare came about in the 50s as part of the Social Democratic project to create the “People’s Home” (Folkhemmet). This grand effort also included free education on all levels, modern housing for the poor, mandatory government pension plans and more. Let us grant benefit of the doubt and assume that some of its proponents had good intentions; as so often, these intentions paved the road to a hellish destination.
It has taken awhile, but it is now becoming obvious even to the man on the street that every aspect of this project has been a disaster. He may not be able to connect the dots, but he can see that the system is definitely not working as advertised, and it is rapidly deteriorating.
Before the utopian project got under way, Sweden had some of the absolute lowest taxes in the civilized world and, not surprisingly, was ranked at the top in terms of standard of living. The project changed Sweden into a country with the second highest tax rate in the world (Denmark is higher), periods of rampant inflation, and a steadily deteriorating economy.
There is nothing economically mysterious about health care — it is just another service. Like any other it can be plentifully provided on a free market at affordable prices and constantly improving quality. But like everything else, it breaks down when the central planners get their hands on it, which they now have. To claim that the problems are due to a “market failure” in health care is like saying that there was a market failure in Soviet bread production.
Let us look at what happened when health care was provided for free by the Swedish government (i.e., taxpayers). Note that the same economic principles and incentives apply to any service that the government decides to take over and provide for free. The same principles will apply to Obamacare, with some slight variations.
First it was understood in Sweden that free healthcare was only for the poor. It would not affect those who were happy with their existing provider. But when government suddenly offers a free alternative, many will leave their private practitioner in favor of the free goods. The public system will have to be expanded, while the private doctors will lose patients. The private doctors are then forced to either take employment within the public system or leave the profession. The result is one single public healthcare monolith. Can one find economies of scale within its operations, as professor Frank claims? Maybe. But if they exist, they will be dwarfed by the costs and inefficiencies of the bureaucracy that inevitably grows to manage the system.
These results are clearly visible in Sweden. There are very few private practices left. Of the few that are left, most are part of the national insurance system. A huge bureaucracy has been erected to take on all the necessary central planning of public and pseudo-private healthcare.
When Swedes go to the polls every four years, they vote on three levels of government: national, landsting, and kommun. A landsting is a regional mid-level type of government and there are 20 of them. The landstings are almost entirely devoted to managing public healthcare. They are always short on funding and regularly make losses.
The advantage of a free market system, as I am sure the venerable professor Frank knows, is that supply and demand meet to form prices. These prices are signals to the practitioners and tell them what their patients need and value most. If there were a sudden surge in demand for open-heart surgery, the price of that service would, ceteris paribus, rise. The practitioners would be motivated by the rising price to move into fields where they can make higher profits. More doctors would move to provide open-heart surgery, the capacity for open-heart surgery would increase, the increased demand satisfied and the price would drop again. Some people protest and think that it is immoral for doctors to maximize profit and live well on other people’s medical problems. But why is it any more immoral than farmers profiting from peoples’ hunger?
Thus, free-market systems systematically allocate capacity (“supply”) and reallocate it quickly to satisfy patients’ needs (“demand”). Due to competition it has the added advantage of always striving for lower prices and higher quality. This principle is as true for medical services as it is for cell phones or gardening services.
The bureaucracy of a public healthcare system cannot use market prices to allocate resources. It must use some other means. First it will try to plan according to estimated demand. It will try to guess the number of bone fractures, open-heart surgeries and kidney transplants in the coming year. The estimates will invariably be wrong, causing shortages in some places and overcapacity in others — at the same — which translates into human suffering and economic waste.
Without the profit motive, there is no incentive to adapt to reality, to utilize expensive equipment to the optimum capacity, to improve the level of service, or treat patients with dignity. All change will have to be pushed down from the planners above by decree. Doctors and nurses will be frustrated because they are not free to exercise their art to the best of their ability and help people as much as they would like to. Many of the best leave for other fields.
It is impossible to put a number on it, but it is obvious that the level of energy in the medical professions in Sweden is low compared to America. It can be seen on several levels, from doctors and even down to students. An American medical student and friend of mine spent a year at a major Swedish hospital. He was shocked when he realized that students never spent any of their spare time in the operating room; there was no drive to become the best. There are of course enthusiasts who love their work regardless, and do a fantastic job, but the system is not conducive to this attitude.
Planning always fails. The planners come to realize that the market is superior but they will not back off. Rather they will try to mimic a market, using trendy techniques such as “New Public Management,” voucher systems, or healthcare exchanges. The results of these solutions are usually even more disastrous than outright planning. In order to work, they will have to reduce every medical condition to a code, every patient to an ID number, and every procedure to planned (arbitrary) cost and income numbers.
It was recently revealed in one of the major newspapers that doctors were told to prioritize patients based on their value as future taxpayers. Old people naturally have a low future-taxpayer-value, so they naturally became low priority in the machine and less likely to receive proper treatment. In a private healthcare system you can make your own priorities, you can for example sell your house and spend the proceeds on becoming well. In a socialized system somebody else sets the priorities.

JamesHLanier Billionaires are opposed to Bernie because they understand what his policies do to a nation. Look, I could waste three hours on your same old Bernie talking points. Ohh. He's been consistent... Oh his plans are just like noway, Denmark and Sweden. NONE of which are even close to being true, except that his supporters just keep repeating them. Bernie is getting CRUSHED in Florida right now. It's only the beginning as he moves away from the lefty loon states into the real America. There's SO MUCH that you're ignorant of. Gates, Buffet, and scores of other billionaires have made a pledge to GIVE AWAY the vast bulk of their fortunes. They just don't want senile old Bernie using it to buy votes! Bernie said the blacks should be selling drugs RIGHT AT THE DEBATE! Oh.. You didn't listen to the Bern at the Dem debate? Hmmm. I guess you just don't know a lot about the Berns inconsistent stances over the years. He changes with the crowds applause!! Try this... https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/02/27/activist-judges-veto-heathrows-third-runway-because-climate-change/. That's what Sanders wants for here. To bludgeon progress under the guise of "saving the planet". No an incumbent president doesn't have more cash. HE. HAS SEVEN TIMES more cash. So, who gets to determine the future of the country? The peasent or the successful? I don't want young, inexperienced, easily influenced, needy, dreamers, to decide the direction our country goes. People that get 3% loans and yet think banks are the enemy. Buy $5 Starbucks while they discuss our evil corporate system. Expect free Healthcare while they March to legalize weed! For the tenth time. Billionaires pay MORE than their fair share. THEY are the ones generating jobs, buildings, wealth, and productivity. What are the poor contributing to society? What's THEIR fair share? Is Bernies FOUR PERCENT charity contribution ( he won't name which one) while he makes millions a FAIR share? And you are just LOONIE if you say other workers have it better than American workers! Their whole jobs DEPEND on American workers! Here's TRUMP UNION SUPPORT.... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/08/opinion/sunday/the-unions-that-like-trump.html

JamesHLanier What a joker. More TYPICAL leftist nonsense. You MUST attack the messenger, because you have NO FACTUAL information to counter it! I see this over and over with you loons. Billionaires ARE SUPPOSE to care about profit, you dummy. That's how they got to be billionaires! If you want charity... Go to church! Yes, "real" America. Those that BUILT the world you live in dopey, not the FANTASY world of leftist dreamers. If this news is "fake". THEN LET'S HAVE YOUR FACTS! You have none. No, peasents don't keep the country running, you dope! You're like a turd on the sidewalk that insists we need you for firm footing! We have MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS to replace your lazy ass, that work for half your pay! You forget.. DEMOCRATS let them in! Bernie SUPPORTS welcoming cheap labor!! Trump beat SEVENTEEN Republican candidates. Bernie can't beat retarded Biden! Did you see how the old commie is polling in North Carolina? Or Florida?? He just lost two million voters by praising Castro at the debates the other day. I predicted this a YEAR AGO. I said, once they get Bernie under the national spotlight, he's gonna squeal like the rat that he is. Democrats are TERRIFIED that he's going to run against Trump. It'll set them back twenty years. That's not ME saying that. It's THEM. Of course what does the Democrat party know about politics right? They're just fake news! Bahahahaha. HERE are Bernie supporters in Florida. PROOF. Not fake polls (even though they show him losing to uncle Joe). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Florida_Democratic_primary.

Biden Maintains Lead
Today
Sanders and Steyer jockey for second
West Long Branch, NJ – Joe Biden stays well atop the field in South Carolina, according to the third Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll of likely Democratic primary voters there. Tom Steyer and Bernie Sanders are fighting for the second spot. Biden’s wide lead in the poll is underpinned by solid support among black voters in the state.
Among South Carolina voters who are likely to participate in the Democratic primary on Saturday, support currently stands at 36% for Biden, 16% for Sanders, and 15% for Steyer. Candidates who currently fall below the statewide delegate viability threshold include Elizabeth Warren (8%), Pete Buttigieg (6%), Amy Klobuchar (4%), and Tulsi Gabbard (1%).

JamesHLanier We have WHO'S FN RESOURCES to live comfortably? Someone else's? Isn't that THEFT of property? Don't the Sandanistas and Communists do that? Do you know that the CONSTITUTION that governs our land FORBIDS the taking of private property, you ignorant dope? Society doesn't need PEASENTS you idiot. We're in a TECHNOLOGICAL revolution. Got that? First agriculture. Second Manufacturing, Third INFORMATION fourth, TECHNOLOGY. Got that? Your manual labor HAS and IS being replaced by technology! That's why poor peasents LIVE BETTER today than 100 years ago. Not because they toil at manual labor. You "address" me, with your nonsensical opinions. WHERE'S THE NUMBERS? WHERE'S THE FACTS? I tell you Bernie is tie for second place. What do you say? But.. But.. But.. Blah blah blah.. You don't have a clue WHAT a corporation is, WHY it exists, WHY it makes this the best country in the world, WHY without them, we become like Zimbabwe, and WHY they make life better by far than any other system. Look at Russia if you disagree! Texas has a stronger economy than them. Take away oil from both and Russia can't beat New Jersey!! Your disgruntled, disaffected, Bernie losers are falling behind. The toilet paper of a high tech, high skills, society that they CAN'T function in. An economy that leaves them with lint in their pockets. Their GOALS are to STEAL from someone that has more than them. The only solution to make life better is to LEECH like a parasite off of someone else. Oh yes.. I refuse to validate them by "addressing their claims".. HAHAHAHAH. No you refuse to REFUTE their "claims" because you have no FACTS in which to do so. NUMBERS. FACTS, LINKS. Not bogus Bernie talking points. Your poor education is on display. Lack of logic, historical perspective, ability to separate fact from opinion, all are exposed by your shallow statements. If you "workers" do everything for only a small benefit, then WORK FOR YOURSELF!! I'll be a small fish in a giant ocean, and you can be a large crab in a fishbowl!! I'll use the banks money to buy an excavator, while you can give them the finger after putting down your shovel. We can ALL live comfortably. I with my new pool and you with your backyard mud pit. My hierarchy has moved more people up and out of poverty than your socialist fantasy world has done in history. You can sit and smoke a doob with occupy shitsville, while I'll be flying to my next beach vacation. Having one of THEIR peasants bring me a drink. But, no I'm not heartless. I'll keep a few pesos in my purse for a nice tip. WAIT!! OH NO! I forgot. My cruise ship has a ROBOTIC WAITER. Oh well. Guess I'll save that tip. BTW. you don't win Florida.. You don't win. Same for Ohio. Look up "battleground states". Educate yourself. https://youtu.be/KUVjRXnp198

JamesHLanier OK, since you keep recirculating old issues that I prove you are wrong on and keep changing the subject. Stay on ONE ISSUE. Tell me what's wrong with this scenario. Elon Musk comes to this country. Goes to WALL STREET and THE GREEDY BANKS and makes a loan. He then starts a business to make electric cars and employs thousands of workers. Now, he has big plans to take that money and build STARLINK to provide super fast, reliable, affordable prices for WORLDWIDE internet. But HOLD ON
WAIT. James Lanier and his communist puppeteer Bolshevik Bernie decides that "he has no right to hoard all that money" so they somehow avoid the constitution (which protects citizens from government theft) and take that money to distribute, not to the people, but to the military, the elite, and their crony friends and supporters that keep them in power, in order to buy POWER. Now, you've got Russia, Cuba, and North Korea, all run by some senile commie fart Bernie Sanders. Is THAT what you support? Because it sure sounds like it. Fortunately, that's not going to happen because Bernie is going down in flames. FAST.

@patrykgorecki581 You have to get the FACTS and stop spreading lies.... China faces a shortfall of millions of tonnes of raw materials after placing restrictions on foreign waste imports at the start of this year.
But rather than drown in rubbish rejected by China’s port authorities, neighbouring countries in the region – such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia – could in fact be benefiting from the increased availability of cheap recyclable materials.
At first glance, China’s decision to restrict imports of 26 types of foreign plastic and paper seemed like a boon for the environment, when announced at a World Trade Forum in July 2016.
Finally, Western countries would be forced to stop “dumping” on China, said the press, and take responsibility for their own rubbish. Optimists predicted an overhaul of waste disposal systems. In the United States and Europe companies promised to “design” waste out of their supply chains.
But in reality the big waste exporters were ill-equipped to respond to the change. Rubbish containers were rerouted to poorer neighbouring countries that lack the infrastructure to process it, while Chinese manufacturers have relocated. So, eight months after the restrictions came into force what has been the effect?
Adam Minter is an American journalist and author of Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade. He was based in China for over a decade, reporting on recycling for Bloomberg, before moving to Malaysia. He argues that China has not been turning away useless junk but instead valuable scrap, which supplies the recycling and manufacturing sectors that underpin the country’s economy.

@wulfychen3058 Who buys them now? Apple could sell them at half price and STILL make a fortune! Have you been asleep? They have BILLIONS of cash on their books! Their phone is little different from a $300 Android phone! It's the CHINESE that can't afford them! And our economy is doing fantastic! Look at CHINESE STOCK MARKET.. Then look at ours... LOOK AT CHINESE RENIMBI then look at the dollar. YOU TELL ME who's going down the toilet! Listen.... Everything the Chinese do and say is a fake and a lie. Remember the big "we won't take your trash" law? Uh-oh... They said the USA in big trouble!! BIG TROUBLE... Let's see what really happened.......... China faces a shortfall of millions of tonnes of raw materials after placing restrictions on foreign waste imports at the start of this year.

@wulfychen3058 Steal? Steal WHAT slant eye? While Chinese are eating RAT, the USA invented the computer (we have #1 fastest in the world) invented the Internet, walked on the moon, visited the bottom of the sea, created television, the nuclear reactor, and THOUSANDS of life saving medicines and treatments (which China copies and comes to USA to learn) Now what does China do? Copy, steal, spy, thieve, and invades Tibet. Tries to control the Sea (but the USA laughs at them) and is the laugh of the world!! While world laughs at the Chinese worker ants, the Communists tell the people WE NUMBER ONE! WE THE BEST! You're only number one at being our errand boy, slave worker for $2 an hour!! Hahahaha.. Such shame and humiliation. Keep eating your tasty rat. I understand that Chinese live with parents and grandparents!! HAHAHAHA!! TELL MAMA THE AMERICAN SAYS NEE HOW!! HAHAHA!

@wulfychen3058 Yes, with engines that EXPLODE.. Look, didn't the Chinese moon Rover break down in TWO DAYS? I don't have to ask you. YOU KNOW it did! Where is your Chinese CAR? You have one, it's called BI CYCLE!! You clown! But, our SPACE SHUTTLE had problems too! How about the Chinese Space shuttle? No? NO SPACE SHUTTLE?? BARAHAHAHA.. Listen, I know you ONLY get to hear what the communists tell you, but even YOU have to know that the rest of the world uses the term "made in China" to mean cheap, unreliable, shoddy, and tainted goods. They copy, steal, imitate and spy for every "achievement" they've ever bestowed upon themselves. You have people eating RAT in China. Rat! The Indians humiliate you. One of the poorest countries in the world, shames China. But, the puppet people of China are told they are the tough ones. We piss in the waters of the South Asian Seas, and what does your president do? He shits in his pants over the American Navy. We MOCK the Chinese with our ships and planes. Yet he tells you how patient he is. Shame and humiliation for the entire Nation. Number TWO fastest computer in the world, yet they don't know what to do with it. Maybe you can move to Taiwan. The REAL CHINA.

Robin Lillian Now, before I waste ANOTHER MINUTE ON YOUR BS PROPOGANDA, Let's take a look at your FIRST LIE..... The language policies of Canada's province and territories vary substantially between different regions and also between different eras.
From the 1890s until the 1960s, English was the only language in which most government services were provided outside of Quebec (which was functionally bilingual) and using French in the courts or in schools was often illegal. These developments led to fears by French-Canadian nationalists that French speakers would be assimilated into the increasingly Anglophone culture of Ontario, leading the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism (1963–1969) to recommend that the Government of Canada and all provinces offer more services in French.
Since that time, Quebec has used provincial law to encourage the use of French (see Charter of the French Language) at the expense of other languages, while the other provinces have begun to offer more and more services in French and in other languages besides English, including Aboriginal languages and immigrant languages.[1] The 1982 amendments to the Constitution of Canada included a right of minority-language education that has forced policy changes in all of the provinces. Quebec is unique in requiring private businesses to use French and requiring immigrants to send their children to French-language schools. In other provinces there is no requirement that businesses use a particular language, but English predominates, and immigrants may send their children to English, French or third-language schools.[2]

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

Like THIS!!... On the same weekend were 29 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, the city of Chicago is reeling after 25 people were shot in several incidents over a four-hour span early Sunday morning.
The first shooting, which took place at approximately 1:20 a.m. on Sunday morning, sent a total of seven people to local hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old man, was listed in critical condition after being shot in the groin, and the other six victims all were in stable or good condition after the incident, according to authorities.
During the shooting, an unknown gunman in a black Camaro drove by a group of people congregating near a playground in the city’s Douglas Park neighborhood and opened fire. Several people in the group returned fire at the car, which fled the scene.
Police believe that nearly 75 shots were fired during the incident, with at least four or five people firing weapons.
Just over an hour later, two more victims were shot in the 1200 block of South Troy, according to police. The women were standing on the street when an unknown assailant opened fire, striking both victims. They were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

Benson Zhang We'll, you got fifty percent correct. In China that's enough to earn you an egg roll. You ARE correct that the United States IS the best country in the world, because I have traveled the world, and I know that,, for example that the Chinese people eat rat. You can Google that. I know that the poorest people in our country live better than two thirds of the world. That the Chinese people donate NOTHING to any other people without getting what THEY want in return. That they invaded and occupy TIBET, and are polluting our planet with NEW coal power plants. Yes, I have seen THOUSANDS of Chinese come here for freedom and very few moving to China to live under Communism. But, I understand just WHY you think China is wonderful, since the government controls all of your news and information. They tell YOU what is good and what is bad. Here, we tell OUR government what is good and bad, and if they don't listen, we vote them OUT OF POWER. Can you do that? No? Shame..

Benson Zhang Wake up dummy!! When China halted plans for more than 100 new coal-fired power plants this year, even as President Trump vowed to “bring back coal” in America, the contrast seemed to confirm Beijing’s new role as a leader in the fight against climate change.
But new data on the world’s biggest developers of coal-fired power plants paints a very different picture: China’s energy companies will make up nearly half of the new coal generation expected to go online in the next decade.
These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin. Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries.
Over all, 1,600 coal plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries, according to Urgewald’s tally, which uses data from the Global Coal Plant Tracker portal. The new plants would expand the world’s coal-fired power capacity by 43 percent.

Benson Zhang Does it EVER occur to your puppet brain to get information from ANOTHER source instead of what the Communist liars tell you? Do you even TRY to get another point of view as to the FACTS? Maybe see what the Indian people say? Or, the Americans say what happened? China NEVER, EVER, EVER admits they lost. Even when they LOSE. How dumb can you be? Here is your prison system for those that disagree with the puppet masters...... In the case of holiday lights, prisoners are required to put together 200 to 300 strings of lights per day. In some places, the requirement is not for strings of lights but for the number of light bulbs attached. Inmates are forced to work from 10 to 15 hours a day, sometimes staying up throughout the night. By design, the workload is far greater than can be reasonably accomplished; the pressure to keep up with quotas is so great that people often forgo a chance to go to the bathroom.
Those who are brave enough to refuse orders to do illegal labor will be subjected to "hugging chains" (arms and legs chained and locked together, the body curving forward in a crawling position), or "hanging cuffs" (both hands are raised up high and put through the iron bars of a window or a fence and locked with handcuffs from the outside), or "squatting on the john" (both hands are locked to an iron ring on the floor), or "food stoppage," "sitting beating" and other punishments. The range and variety are vast. Punishments such as these might last a day or so, or extend to weeks on end. Once torture begins, it does not end easily.
What's more, prison guards can order a few trusted "work numbers," as prisoners are called, to take a disobedient inmate out to the prison yard, pull down the person's pants, and pin the head and limbs down on the ground. Then, in front of everyone gathered, a work number will beat the person's naked backside with a leather belt, a rubber club or other implement. With each blow, the victim squirms and writhes on the ground.
These events usually end in one of two ways. One is that the misbehaving offender is unable to withstand the pain and, while crying and screaming, begs for mercy and agrees to cooperate with whatever is asked. The other is that the torturer himself has had enough — i.e. is tired out, since beatings of this kind require physical exertion. That's when the perpetrators start looking for even more efficient ways to inflict pain.
For the most part, those who are put in detention centers in China have not undergone a trial — they're just suspects. Chinese and international law are extremely clear that such detainees are not criminals and cannot be forced to do labor. Laws regulating prisons are also clear that any labor must adhere to strict guidelines for time worked, breaks, conditions, etc.
However, in mainland China today, inmates in the majority of detention centers nationwide are forced to do labor, and work conditions in prisons would by any measure be considered unlawful. This fuels a shadow economy where goods made from forced labor are pushed out into the "real" economy and abroad, enriching and incentivizing prison system officials all along the chain of authority to maintain the status quo of violence, secrecy and denial.

Benson Zhang Despite heavy government monitoring, however, the Mainland Chinese media has become an increasingly commercial market, with growing competition, diversified content, and an increase in investigative reporting. Areas such as sports, finance, and an increasingly lucrative entertainment industry face little regulation from the government.[3] Media controls were most relaxed during the 1980s under Deng Xiaoping, until they were tightened in the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests. They were relaxed again under Jiang Zemin in the late 1990s, but the growing influence of the Internet and its potential to encourage dissent led to heavier regulations again under the government of Hu Jintao.[4] Reporters Without Borders[unreliable source?] consistently ranks China very poorly on media freedoms in their annual releases of the Press Freedom Index, labeling the Chinese government as having "the sorry distinction of leading the world in repression of the Internet".[5] For 2010, China ranked 168 out of 178 nations.
HistoryEdit
See also: Media history of China
The government is heavily involved in the media in the PRC, and the largest media organizations (namely CCTV, the People's Daily, and Xinhua) are agencies of the Party-State: "The first social responsibility and professional ethic of media staff should be understanding their role clearly and being a good mouthpiece. Journalists who think of themselves as professionals, instead of as propaganda workers, are making a fundamental mistake about identity," Hu Zhanfan, the president of CCTV.[6] Media taboosinclude topics such as the legitimacy of the Communist Party of China, the governance of Tibet, and Falun Gong. Within those restrictions there is a diversity of the media and fairly open discussion of social issues and policy options within the parameters set by the Party.
The diversity in mainland Chinese media is partly because most state media outlets no longer receive heavy subsidies from the government, and are expected to cover their expenses through commercial advertising.[7] They can no longer merely serve as mouthpieces of the government, but also need to attract advertising through programming that people find attractive.[8] While the government issues directives defining what can be published, it does not prevent, and in fact encourages outlets to compete for viewers and advertising.
The era of Government control over the Mainland Chinese media, however, has not come to an end. For example, the Government utilises financial incentives to manipulate journalists.[9] Recently, though, the Government's command over the nation's media has begun to falter. Despite government restrictions, much information is gathered either at the local level or from foreign sources and passed on through personal conversations and text messaging. This paired with the withdrawal of government media subsidies has caused many newspapers (including some owned by the Communist Party) in tabloids to take bold editorial stands critical of the government, as the necessity to attract readers and avoid bankruptcy has been a more pressing fear than government repression.[8]
In addition, the traditional means of media control have proven extremely ineffective against newer forms of communication, most notably text messaging.[citation needed]

@phillip_iv_planetking6354 That's great. What a coincidence. I owned 3 rental properties in some pretty run down areas. But, here's what I didn't realize.. The REAL money is not made in the rent. Small landlords just refuse to believe that. They buy marginal properties that get marginal rent, from marginal tenants and require major maintenance, while you're waiting a major amount of time getting it paid off, so that Uncle Sam can get paid as your "silent partner" When the happy day comes 15-20 years later, that 80,000 doesn't buy what it use to, and the rent hasn't risen much (in real dollars) to have made it all worth it. When I sold off my last property, I had about a hundred grand in actual profit, But here, less than ten years later, I'm making 80 just in salary from the both of us. I have to ask.. Was it all worth it? All those years of hassle. You can get a skill. Spend ten to fifteen grand. Then, start making 50+ a year and set your own schedule. Find SOME business you can run. Do handyman, tile setting, wall paper, etc.. That's just my opinion. No more roof replacement, water tanks, red-carpeting, whole house painting... On and on and on. Even if you just keep your units on the side, you can trade off your skills to other trade people to exchange jobs. You do my roof, I'll tile your kitchen. Etc..

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

@akashbhaiya22 They are VOTING Indian Americans. And they applauded TRUMP! No one gives a shit about the Indians in India that DONT vote in our election! During that campaign, Illinois businessman Shalabh Kumar donated nearly $1 million to the joint fundraising campaign made up of Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.
In 2016, about 1.2 million Indian American were registered to vote, according to Asian American and Pacific Islanders Data. Estimates put Indian American voter registration at 1.4 million in 2020.
After he got into office, Trump celebrated Diwali, the most important holiday for most Indians, and appointed Indian Americans to numerous high-ranking positions — Nikki Haley to ambassador to the United Nations; Seema Verma to administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Neomi Rao to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit; and Ajit Pai to chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, among others
“Looking back to the 2016 election cycle, Donald Trump was the first candidate who stood on stage and said, ‘I loved Indians,’” said Adi Sathi, who served as director of Asian Pacific American Engagement at the Republican National Committee for two years. “That was unprecedented.”

Michel Beauregard Abstract
In 2009, the EU imposed anti-dumping duties on aluminum foil imported from Armenia, Brazil and China for five years. The final determination resulted in the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties of 13.4% (Armenia), 17.6% (Brazil) and 6.4-30% (China). This paper quantifies the direct and indirect effects of the EU anti-dumping duty on EU and US imports from targeted and unaffected countries using detailed data for the years 2006 through 2012, and controlling for exports of all products within the aluminum sheet, plate and foil manufacturing industry from all countries. The findings point to the trade destruction, trade depression, trade diversion, and trade deflection effects typically found in the existing literature. However, the uniqueness of this case lies in the fact that the Armenian exporter is a subsidiary of the Russian firm. And as Armenia’s exports to the EU declined, they expanded rapidly to the US. At the same time, the US imports from Russia, a country not directly touched by the anti-dumping ruling, declined dramatically, and were diverted to the EU. This points to the potential ineffectiveness of anti-dumping duties in the presence of multinational corporations with production facilities located across countries differentially impacted by anti-dumping duties.

@tokenetta8070 Bernie "most small donors" is a FRAUD.. WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day.
By the end of June, Mrs. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders, making her the most frequent contributor to any presidential campaign this year.
Mrs. Peloza is a standout example of a new trend in political fundraising. Instead of writing one large check to their preferred candidate, some donors are throwing them a few bucks dozens, or even hundreds, of times. Some repeat donors eventually pile up small contributions totaling $2,800, the legal maximum for a federal election.

@Yo Momma WHEEEEEE..... Once elected, this President wasted no time fulfilling his pledge to nominate judges who put impartiality and independence above activism from the bench. On day one, the Trump Administration went to work with the Senate to fill crucial vacancies. Fast forward to now, and the result is nothing less than a historic transformation of the judiciary.
The American Founding was built on the idea of separation of powers, President Trump said today. “This system was designed to protect citizens against the unjust concentration of governmental power . . . [but] when judges assume the role of a legislature, the rights of all citizens are threatened.”
What that means today: “The impartial and objective judge, who is a faithful servant of the law, is essential to the survival of American liberty.”
In just three years, President Trump has nominated and had confirmed two Supreme Court justices, 44 Circuit Court judges, and 112 District Court judges. Today, that historic pace is only accelerating: The President is set to have more judges confirmed this year alone than in all of 2017 and 2018 combined.
The average age of these new circuit judges is less than 50 years old—a full 10 years younger than the average age of former President Obama’s circuit nominees. That fact is important. President Trump understands that appointing good, fair judges is one of the most important legacies a President can leave. And thanks to the extraordinary number of young, talented judges he’s selected, that legacy is likely to last for decades to come.
Even more important than how long judges serve, of course, is what they do once they get on the bench. President Trump has always nominated judges who have a proven track record of standing up for the rule of law as written, not as imagined.
This quote from President Trump’s speech today may be the most important: When judges write policy instead of applying the law, they impose sweeping changes on millions of Americans without the benefit of legislative debate, public rulemaking, or the consent of the governed. As a result, these highly political rulings inflict painful damage on our security, society, and economy—imposing unworkable edicts on businesses, workers, families, and law enforcement.
His promise: “I will do everything in my power to halt judicial activism, and to ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly, and without political prejudice for all of our citizens.” Did you get that "decades" part?

@timeticker326 "imply"?? What ELSE can it be? He has just been spouting the same Marxist talking points since he started his "get nothing accomplished" career living off the taxpayer. Now that HE'S a millionaire, he DONATES a whopping FOUR percent of HIS income to a charity that he refuses to disclose! Where's his "fair share"?? Here's the difference, in years past, students learned about these snake oil salesman, about patriotism, SELF accountability, hard work, and patience. Now, it's a different landscape. It's all about wealth distribution. Repeating the same old slogans while avoiding the tough questions. ( who pays Bernie?) Look, you have a communist sympathizer standing on a national stage, with a Marxist background, calling for REVOLUTION, and if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, you'll get EVERYTHING you deserve and more. Like Jane Fonda "whoops. I was deceived" it will be you that lives with the consequences. If you believe that the economy, with the lowest unemployment rate in 40 years, is a PROBLEM that needs to be changed, that a less than 1% homeless problem calls for a political revolution, then.. Be my guest! You'll live under the consequences.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!!
Well, Dr. Birx must have missed the press release, published by the AP on April 20th, announcing the novel treatment developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai that administers ultraviolet light inside the bodies of patients inflicted with respiratory infections. The research team at Cedars-Sinai is currently working with the FDA to explore an expedited regulatory process to use the treatment as a possible medical intervention for those suffering from the Wuhan coronavirus.
(Via AP)
[Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”)], a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced today that it has signed an exclusive worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai to develop and commercialize the Healight Platform Technology (“Healight”). This medical device technology platform, discovered and developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, is being studied as a potential first-in-class treatment for coronavirus and other respiratory infections.
...
The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus.
...
“Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells,” stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, “Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens.

@aslanali819 When the Roman legions destroyed Judaea and Jerusalem in A.D. 70, Josephus says that more than 1,100,000 Jews perished and nearly 100,000 were taken captive.1 In Rome’s ancient forum, the Arch of Titus, which still stands, depicts Jewish captives in chains and Roman soldiers carrying the seven-branched temple candlestick on their shoulders. Yet, while the Jews suffered starvation, slaughter, and capture, their fellow Christians in Jerusalem escaped.
How were the Christians spared?
About thirty-seven years before the destruction, Jesus had foretold the terrible events that would follow his death. He warned his followers to immediately flee Jerusalem when the signs he predicted occurred. The Christian community carefully watched for the signs and followed the Savior’s warning.
The Lord first identified the situation leading up to destruction: Many would deceive the people by saying that they were prophets or even Christ himself. The disciples would be delivered up and afflicted, hated of all nations. Betrayal and iniquity would abound, and the love of many would turn cold. (See Matt. 24:10–12; JS—M 1:6–10.). WHO IS NEXT FOR CONTINUING THESE BARBARIC Practices? THESE ARE JEWS STONING JEWS.... YOU ARE MUSLIMS STONING THE INNOCENT.

Here's a great statement from Ron Paul....
The recent felony conviction and eight month prison sentence of January 6th protester Paul Hodgkins is an affront to any notion of justice.
It is a political charge and a political verdict by a political court.
Every American regardless of political persuasion should be terrified of a court system so beholden to politics instead of justice.
We’ve seen this movie before and it does not end well.
Worse than this miscarriage of justice is the despicable attempt by the prosecutor in the case to label Hodgkins — who has no criminal record and was accused of no violent crime— a "terrorist."
As journalist Michael Tracey recently wrote, Special Assistant US Attorney Mona Sedky declared Hodgkins a "terrorist" in the court proceedings not for committing any terrorist act, not for any act of violence, not even for imagining a terrorist act.
Sedky wrote in her sentencing memo, "The Government . . . recognizes that Hodgkins did not personally engage in or espouse violence or property destruction." She added, "we concede that Mr. Hodgkins is not under the legal definition a domestic terrorist.”
Yet Hodgkins should be considered a terrorist because the actions he took --- entering the Senate to take a photo of himself — occurred during an event that the court is "framing…in the context of terrorism."
That goes beyond a slippery slope.
He is not a terrorist because he committed a terrorist act, but because somehow the "context" of his actions was, in her words, “imperiling democracy.”
In other words, Hodgkins deserved enhanced punishment because he committed a thought crime. The judge on the case, Randolph D. Moss, admitted as much. In carrying a Trump flag into the Senate, he said, Hodgkins was, "declaring his loyalty to a single individual over the nation."
As Tracey pointed out, while eight months in prison is a ridiculously long sentence for standing on the floor of the "People’s House" and taking a photograph, it is also a ridiculously short sentence for a terrorist.
If Hodgkins is really a terrorist, shouldn’t he be sent away for longer than eight months?
The purpose of the Soviet show trials was to create an enemy that the public could collectively join in hating and blaming for all the failures of the system. The purpose was to turn one part of the population against the other part of the population and demand they be "cancelled." And it worked very well . . . for awhile.
In a recent article, libertarian author Jim Bovard quoted from Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago about how average people turned out to demand "justice" for the state's designated "political" enemies: "There were universal meetings and demonstrations (including even school-children). It was the newspaper march of millions, and the roar rose outside the windows of the courtroom: 'Death! Death! Death!'"
While we are not quite there yet, we are moving in that direction. Americans being sent to prison not for what they did, but for what they believe? Does that sound like the kind of America we really want to live in?
While many Biden backers are enjoying seeing the hammer come down on pro-Trump, non-violent protesters, they should take note: the kind of totalitarian "justice" system they are cheering on will soon be coming for them.
It always does.

I hope less and less people buy cars. The roads are too crowded now. They should take the bus! I'll beep my horn as I drive by. My time is too valuable to waste time. A 40,000 car doesn't cost 40,000 . It depreciates by half in four years. That's 5000 a year. Roughly $425 a month. Is $15 a day worth spending an hour or two at some shit bag bus stop with the freaks and weirdos? Good luck! Ride your bicycle. Take the bus. Don't forget shopping, entertainment, doctor appointments, etc.. Meanwhile... At SOME POINT. It's paid off, and I'm riding for gas, repairs, insurance, and maintenance. FAR, FAR LESS than $5000 a year.

The last Prussian In New York, more than 5,800 nursing home residents have died in connection to COVID-19, the most in the country.
On March 25, New York officials ordered nursing homes to admit infected patients, if medically stable. Then, as deaths mounted inside the facilities, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy on May 10 under pressure from advocates and relatives.
In contrast, Florida, which never ordered nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, reported 1043 nursing home resident deaths as of May 22, despite having more of the elderly care facilities than New York.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

You vote for Trump and you're gonna miss THESE NEWS ITEMS..
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

“We are not morally bad people for taking carbon and turning it into the energy that offers life to humanity in a world that would otherwise be brutal,” Christy wrote in a recent oped. “On the contrary, we are good people for doing so.”
Carbon-based energy, which is “the most affordable and reliable source of energy in demand today, liberates people from poverty,” Christy explained to CNSNews.com. “Without energy, life is brutal and short.”
Pointing out that it was “warmer 4,000 to 5,000 years ago than it is today,” Christy said that the computer models cited by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted global warming that is “three times” what the satellite data shows is the Earth’s actual temperature. “It demonstrates we do not know how to model the climate system, in my view,” Christy said.
“All the datasets show some slight warming (+0.11 degrees Celsius per decade since Nov. 16, 1978), some more than others,” he told CNSNews.com. “But still, the amount of warming is much, much less than what was anticipated from climate models, and that’s what I’ve been showing and demonstrating in various venues, including Congress.
“In a congressional hearing last May, I demonstrated that the models are significantly above in their temperature projection from where we actually are right now. So if you go back 36 years to 1979 and run the models, they all show lots of warming. The real world shows very little warming” despite rising levels of CO2.
On May 13, Christy told the House Committee on Natural Resources that even if the U.S. completely eliminated its fossil fuel emissions, so that “there would be no industry, no cars, no utilities, no people” – the impact on global temperatures would be “so tiny as to be immeasurable.”
“The two largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific as well as volcanic eruptions, which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere. So once you account for both of those, there’s not a whole lot of warming in the planet,” Christy told CNSNews.com.
“The conclusion we have reached is that the world, the global climate, is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide. And that can occur if the climate responds in its many facets to release heat – when you add the heat from carbon dioxide. So carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the climate system, but the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat into space.

Brandon Bernard and his accomplices brutally murdered two youth ministers, Todd and Stacie Bagley, on a military reservation in 1999. After Todd Bagley agreed to give a ride to several of Bernard’s accomplices, they pointed a gun at him, forced him and Stacie into the trunk of their car, and drove the couple around for hours while attempting to steal their money and pawn Stacie’s wedding ring. While locked in the trunk, the couple spoke with their abductors about God and pleaded for their lives. The abductors eventually parked on the Fort Hood military reservation, where Bernard and another accomplice doused the car with lighter fluid as the couple, still locked in the trunk, sang and prayed. After Stacie said, “Jesus loves you,” and “Jesus, take care of us,” one of the accomplices shot both Todd and Stacie in the head—killing Todd and knocking Stacie unconscious. Bernard then lit the car on fire, killing Stacie through smoke inhalation. In June 2000, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas found Bernard guilty of, among other offenses, two counts of murder within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, and unanimously recommended a death sentence. His conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, and his request for collateral relief was rejected by every court that considered it. Bernard is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute, Indiana. One of his accomplices, Christopher Vialva, was executed for his role in the Bagleys’ murder on September 22, 2020.

@masterofalltrades999 Huh? Listen. Don't you understand how it works? If you want to spread Marxism, you can't call it communism. No one will support you. Not even socialism, (as Bernie is finding out) but you have to call yourself a "progressive". After all, who doesn't like progress? You're still a Marxist and a communist, but you can sell your snake oil a lot easier to young idealistic, not wits that are looking to solve the BIG problems in the world, before they can even figure out how to solve their own personal problems. If you can get enough to be fooled and vote for Bolshevik Bernie, you can take power, and begin your real agenda. When things invariably go wrong and the money is all gone, you just blame it on someone else, like the "elite" the 1%, or big corporations. Anybody! That's Venezuela, that's Russia, that's Cuba. That's North Korea. But, China knows its a catastrophe, and decided to "adopt" parts of Capitalism to keep their ponzi scheme and power grab alive. It's not been working too well.

Let me consult my crystal🔮 ball,...yes, yes, it's becoming clear now... I see a drugged, drunken, mentally unstable individual, urinating on the carpet along side the spray painted message on the wall, bed bugs abound as the night is filled with screams, moans, and cigarette smoke. The paying guests have checked out long ago, although their numbers are miniscule on comments from social media. WELCOME TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!!!

While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Chinese government was busy arresting the editor of the pro-democracy Hong Kong newspaper Apple Daily. That arrest came on the heels of the arrest of one of Apple Daily’s columnists for “conspiring to collude with foreign countries or foreign forces to endanger national security.”
While Berry was protesting the national anthem, the Taliban was busy spreading like a metastasizing cancer over Afghanistan, preparing its new subjects for the tender mercies of brutal Islamist rule.
While Berry was protesting the national anthem during an event at which she threw heavy objects for sport, billions of people were living in absolute privation the world over.
None of this means that the shortcomings of America should be ignored. But to protest the flag or the national anthem as particular symbols of grievance is to demonstrate full-scale your own ignorance and ingratitude.
“I’m here to represent those who died due to systemic racism,” Berry said. But she herself is an excellent indicator of just how much promise America holds for its citizens.
She grew up in the home of her grandmother, with 13 people in the house; she had a baby out of wedlock at 15 and then earned a college scholarship. She got two jobs and helped support her extended family. Now, she’s going to the Olympics. And presumably, there, she will turn her back on the flag and the national anthem if she makes it to the podium.
In doing so, she’ll become a hero to millions. She’ll get richer; she’ll get more famous. Perhaps, like pseudo-Marxist Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter, she’ll buy herself a few houses; maybe, like Kaepernick, she’ll make the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Like self-declared Marxist Cullors, who currently owns three separate houses worth over $1.5 million each, Berry is in it for the attention and the profit. Yesterday, nobody had heard of her. Today, everybody has. It’s that simple.
One thing is certain, however: Those who spend their days championing their own ingratitude at a society that gives them extraordinary opportunities—opportunities unavailable to nearly all humans for nearly all of human history, and unavailable to most people on the planet right now—aren’t likely to live happier lives. And they’re unlikely to make their nations better, either.

Cash is not and should not be used as a store of wealth. It's a medium of transfer and nothing more. If I hold dollars, someone else determines their value, just like stocks. However, if I transfer the dollars into real estate, farms, business, or another income producing medium, then I can be protected from currency manipulation. How? Because, I can set the rent, grow the potatoes, or cut the hair and thus determine the value of the goods or service. When I'm paid, I quickly transfer that cash into more stores of wealth. It doesn't matter to me if the federal reserve devalues the currency by a thousand fold. I will charge a thousand times more for rent, potatoes, or a haircut. If no one has the money to buy my offerings, then I'm left with a building, a farm, and a hair salon. That's where the wealth lies. Not in pieces of paper that OTHER people determine the value of.

Ei’ríġ Proinsias Dammantaċ Ó Gamhna. Well, yes modern Russia IS communist by definition. Now, seeing as how it's been a TOTAL FAILURE, they came to the conclusion that they had to make changes or LOSE POWER. So, acting as a mob boss, Putin doled out his inefficient state run bureaucracies and installed his henchmen to run them. And YES, I am telling you that their economy is based on oil. They do have weapon sales that bring them hard currency, but those are based on give away financial terms. I'm also telling you that they can "call" themselves what they want, but they are communists. Bernie Sanders is a communist, then changed to a softer term like socialist, and then an even softer "democratic" socialist. Make it sound palatable for young useful idiots. His work with support of the Sandanistas showed his true colors. Now, as your statement about the Iraq war, there's a NOT so subtle difference between murder of your OWN PEOPLE (Stalin) and murdering combatants. (Bush) Between allowing multi party elections (USA) and giving NO CHOICE (Stalin) . Finally, your wild, foolish comment on invasions for oil??? The USA is AWASH in oil! We have Canada that wanted to build a pipeline to us with BILLIONS of gallons of oil for the taking! We don't need, have never needed, AND NEVER HAVE TAKEN one barrel of Iraqi oil. In fact, the Chinese won the drilling rights to their fields. We're we in Afghanistan for the oil? Rediculous!! We are EXPORTING OIL. And it's use is going DOWN here in the USA. It's China, that is using MORE. No, America has never starved its people. Creating a FAMINE. It has NEVER acted like POL POT in Cambodia, under Communism, that EXTERMINATED their own people.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 22, 2023
WASHINGTON D.C. — Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

@msdaisy6949 I don't believe that for a minute. Just for example, they've found out that children that grow up in "dirty" environments, are actually more immune to disease and viruses. The Amish that work on farms in filthy conditions have stronger immune systems. My family has eaten sausage, ground meat, red meat, preservatives, nitrates, fat, etc for a lifetime and we live to 90! My youngest brother is 67. The liver is well equipped to remove toxic substances, and has been doing so, for tens of thousands of years. I'll support Monsanto and round up, over famine and high food prices any day. Cancer is going DOWN not up!

@Della624 You really have to learn to read. I said he has no knowledge of economics. Now, can he spend fifty years extorting the tax payer for his loonie and leftist projects? Of course! Why not examine just ONE of those? Let's take a look at public housing? BILLIONS spent, to what result? They were breeding grounds for crime, drugs, and prostitution. They were destroyed by vandalism, taken over by drug dealing gangs, and quickly drained the taxpayer of much needed resource. Now if you listen to Bernie, he won't mention that.. OH WE FOUGHT FOR LOW INCOME AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE POOR!! Pay attention.. Open your eyes, instead of what other people tell you. Google LOTS OF QUESTIONS for yourself. Start with "how many were shot in Chicago THIS WEEK" then try month, and finally last year. THAT'S BERNIE and his liberal policies that are IGNORED while you and people like you focus on police shooting of armed criminals. If he KNOWS what we can afford, then ask what the deficit is? HOW WE ARE 23 TRILLION in debt. Yeah, some fiscal genius he is!! Now if you say "oh that's not his fault" then don't give him credit either!! He's a REAL CHAMPION of blacks right? Do you ask how many black people he has in HIS DISTRICT?? Why not build homes for blacks THERE? Don't any want to live in HIS neighborhood?? He doesn't give a hell about blacks. That's why he got nearly ZERO VOTES from them when he ran for President. He's a snake oil salesman. Bolshevik isn't the best... it's the MOST Accurate. NOW EVEN WHEN WE STRETCH THE DEFINITION OF GETTING WORK DONE.. He's still a bum! Not my words but....... https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/04/09/bernie-talks-about-a-revolution-does-he-act-on-it/

@olegperkopskiy2282 What a laugh! Only major country? Are you on drugs or what? Do the Chinese or Russian people get "parental leave" Yes.. enough to buy a few cabbage and a bottle of cheap vodka!!
The Chinese ABANDONED Socialism because their people were starving!! They are still major importers of grain today! Your "major countries" countries rely on the USA for their protection! And the economy, both PRE AND POST pandemic puts other countries to shame!! If working conditions are SO BAD here in the USA, why do we have millions of immigrants flooding into the country? Chinese, live with Grandpa and grandma! The Russians live in squalid, cramped, drafty apartment buildings from the Stalin Era!! You don't have a CLUE about the nonsense that you are spouting! How about your black lives matter and it's leader?
As activists trained in Marxism, nothing that Cullors is doing should be surprising. One of the unspoken but often lived tenets of Marxism is that the ruling class lives in luxury while the peasant class is forced to do all the work. Marxist leadership always talks a good game about promoting equality, but it never takes too long to find out that “some animals are more equal than others.”
Josef Stalin had several houses all across the Soviet Union. Each of these homes was far more luxurious than anything the average citizen was living in. The same holds true for Communist China’s Mao Zedong. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is also living a veritable paradise while his citizens starve to death daily.
Here's the pittance a Russian women gets on parental leave..
rrent leave and other employment-related policies to
support parents
a. Maternity leave (отпуск по беременности и родам) (responsibility
of Ministry of Labour and Social Protection)
Length of leave (before and after birth)
• One hundred and forty (140) calendar days, including 70 calendar days
before and 70 calendar days after childbirth.
Payment and funding
• One hundred (100) per cent of average earnings, calculated on basis of
employment during the 24 months before taking leave2
. There is a ceiling for
maternity benefits based on the ceiling on earnings for social insurance
contributions established by the state on an annual basis, the mother’s actual
number of worked days and the length of the leave. For women applying for
leave in 2018 the ceiling for social insurance contributions in 2016 was
RUB718,000 [€9,696.93] 3 slightly lower than the one in 2017 RUB755,000
[€10,196.63]. From 1 January 2018, the ceiling is RUB815,000 [€11,006.96].
Hence, the ceiling for the benefit will be RUB282,493 [€3,815.20], where 730
is the maximum standard number of working days over two years and 140
days is the length of the leave. It corresponds to the RUB61,341 [€828.44] per
month. If the woman worked less than 730 days before taking her leave, the
calculation includes only the actual number of days she has worked

@olegperkopskiy2282 Well, yes I did think that you implied that. Look, you have to use your brain in better ways than just opening doors and tying your shoes. If you want to compare, why not compare ALL aspects between countries? Do you take into account that without the USA, these countries would be speaking Russian right now? Are you forgetting that Americans value a strong military over a strong social handout that has evolved from a safety net, into a lounge chair? How many inventions are these countries spawning in betterment to humanity? Did their men walk on the moon? Invent the transistor? The Internet? Are their homes cramped, cold closet sized no bigger than an American apartment? The promise of America is opportunity not comfort, free Healthcare, maternity leave and other taxpayer bleeding handouts. We're like a main street shoes store in this country.. TOO MANY LOAFERS. Our children have furniture stores named after them. LAZY BOY! Now, we've been fighting the war on poverty for eighty years, and the poor, downtrodden, uneducated, unskilled continue to swell their ranks. We've LOST the war. It's time to try a different approach. Back to the Era that made this country a world power. No work? Starve! Your welfare programs have destroyed the black family. Your social programs have brought us to the brink of bankruptcy. Everywhere Socialism has been tried, it's been a catastrophe. Even the Danish countries are abandoning their social experiments as unworkable and unsustainable. You want better work? Get educated, get skilled. But as long as the hordes keep coming, the menial low wages jobs will CONTINUE..... .BTW your unhappy workers just REJECTED the union in Alabama.

Bernie "most small donors" is a FRAUD.. WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day.
By the end of June, Mrs. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders, making her the most frequent contributor to any presidential campaign this year.
Mrs. Peloza is a standout example of a new trend in political fundraising. Instead of writing one large check to their preferred candidate, some donors are throwing them a few bucks dozens, or even hundreds, of times. Some repeat donors eventually pile up small contributions totaling $2,800, the legal maximum for a federal election.

@Jackass_Gamer No idea? Do I have to connect the dots for you? Bernie has spoken out AGAINST police on many occasions. New York is a bastion of Democrat voters. Thousands that support and appreciate police, instead of ATTACKING THEM (along with ICE) and siding with criminals. Police, fire, and unions ALL OVER the country are mounting a campaign to DESTROY the Democrat socialists like Bolshevik Bernie, who they see as the enemy. You think Wall Street and the tens of thousands that are employed by, and down stream from it, are going to support a "revolution" from a senile old Bolshevik with a Marxist past? I say that New York goes TRUMP in 2020. Bernie will be the laughing stock of the nation, and put Socialism to rest for another hundred years. Furthermore, we're TIRED of hearing about Bernies "agenda". He's had plans, agendas, and speech after speech his whole do nothing career. Trumps new judges will squash ANY attempt at implementing them. A Republican senate will trash can (as they're doing now) any legislation from the leftists. This is FACT not opinion.

Bernie Sanders calls for breaking up ICE and CBP in new immigration plan

Fadel Allassan

2020 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for the breakup of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) in a new immigration plan out Thursday.
"Critics from across the political spectrum have documented the dysfunction and unaccountability of DHS, and President Trump has turned Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into a renegade detention and deportation force. Immigration is not a threat to national security. It is long past time we break up the Department of Homeland Security and refocus its mission on keeping our country safe and responding effectively to emergencies."
— Bernie Sanders
Why it matters: The plan positions Sanders further to the left on immigration than most, if not all, of his competitors seeking the Democratic nomination.
Details: Sanders' plan would significantly restructure the Department of Homeland Security — which he claims "suffers from wasteful spending, bureaucratic bloat, and no clearly defined mission" — in part by distributing ICE's border enforcement and deportation responsibilities to the Department of Justice.
Naturalization and citizenship services would go to the State Department, while the Treasury Department would assume the customs authority of CBP.
Sanders calls for a legislative pathway to citizenship for America's 11 million undocumented immigrants and for border crossings to be decriminalized.
Sanders' plan would also seek to expand the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, and use "every executive tool available to remove barriers to legal permanent residence and naturalization" for participants
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FN MIND?? This is only part of Bernies "plan" EVERY NARCO CRIMINAL will now join DACA!! Millions coming across the border for FREE HEALTHCARE (having babies, becoming automatic citizens) that YOU WILL PAY FOR.

@Redkittttttt He was correct. The newest treatment is inhaling disinfectant. Meanwhile, they are stealing your country... Democrats at work..
When police arrested Zul Mirza Mohamed on suspicion of voter fraud Wednesday night, prosecutors say, the candidate for mayor in Carrollton, Texas, was stuffing envelopes with mail-in ballot applications to send to Dallas County.
However, Texas state and local law enforcement officials allege that Mohamed’s illicit activities ran far deeper than what he was caught in the act doing.
Prosecutors charged Mohamed, 39, with 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot, the Texas Attorney General’s Office said.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.

@thenavigateur8460 I have nothing? Bahahahaha, you really ARE confused! I have EVERYTHING! I can send my work ANYWHERE in the world to be done! A lot less expensive, and a lot BETTER done! If we can't agree, I don't get my well dug. If we can't agree YOU STARVE. You have lots of lies, half truths and misconceptions. But, here's the one thing poorly educated, slow witted, moaners like you lack, and that's a WORKING SUBSTITUTION for Capitalism, anywhere in the world. Show me poor people living better, more jobs, a better economy, cheaper food. We have MILLIONS trying to get here every year. Leaving their homes and countries in order to "dig that well". Does Russia, China, Cuba, or Venezuela have that problem? China doesn't even have social security! You get old.. You starve!

@thenavigateur8460 You don't own ANYTHING that you haven't acquired by gift, inheritance, risk, or hard work. I as labor can take my well digging ability ANYWHERE in the world. Now, if YOU (the Capitalist) provide the land, the shovel, the water, and the bucket, then YOU accept the risk of PAYING ME TO DIG and yet, perhaps finding NO WATER, then I can easily take my final pay and move on. Leaving YOU with LOSSES, and an empty hole in the ground. Huh? Now, I've got paid.. You've got a worn out shovel, and a bill for payment due on the land, the shovel, and the bucket, and no water. Isn't that how Capitalism works TOO? Or do you ignore that in order to concentrate on the SUCCESSFUL ones? If it's the STATES well, then who cares if it's a success or not? It's not MY MONEY at risk. You'll still get paid the same or even less, but YOU'RE NOT going anywhere, because there's only ONE well digging company. THE STATE. If you don't like it? Too bad. DENMARK?? You need an education.. Here it is... https://youtu.be/tzEPKrHalaY

Shittum Wood Yes, we support Israel. But, if we stand back and do nothing, then the Islamic crazies take over and send us all to Paradise via the nuclear highway! And guess what? THEY get the virgins! So, we have to ally ourselves with the Hebrew horde just to keep them under our heel. We give the Rabid Rabbis money, but it's peanuts! They send the money right back to buy jet fighters and tanks! It's a cozy relationship. Meanwhile, it keeps the Christians on the Republicans side during the elections. Otherwise, we'll have Bernie "I took my honeymoon in Moscow" Sanders, and then we'll be like Venezuela in no time. So, trust me..Toast the bar mitzvahs while there's still time. At least they're not blowing up school busses full of children. Besides, they sell great bagels! OY Veh!

The Fix Analysis
Democrats pinned their hopes on a ‘blue wave’ in the midterms. Is that what happened?

By Colby Itkowitz
November 7, 2018
Democrats flipped the House. Republicans knocked off several Senate Democratic incumbents, increasing their majority there. Already both sides are claiming victory.
Democrats are on pace to pick up more than 30 House seats across the country, including some unexpected wins. They’ll argue that shows their message resonated in Trump territory. Republicans will point to triumphs in high-profile statewide races as an endorsement of President Trump and his agenda.
[Winners and Losers from Election 2018]
So, should winning the House with a substantial number of pickups, while losing ground in the Senate fit the criteria for a “blue wave”? Here’s the case for and against calling these midterms a wave election.
ADVERTISING
Yes, it was totally a blue wave
In previous midterm elections, when the House changed parties by smaller margins nationwide than it did this year, they were given the designation of being a “wave.”
As of early Wednesday, Democrats were projected to win the national popular vote by nearly nine percentage points, which is greater than the Republican “waves” in 1994, 2010 and 2014 and the Democratic “wave” in 2006. If those elections were waves, then this one is, too.
The economy is strong, unemployment is at historic lows and yet, Democrats can argue, they were still able to take the House away from the party of the sitting president.
Democrats did particularly well in the suburbs, where they hoped to capitalize on anti-Trump sentiment, especially among suburban women. They unseated Reps. Barbara Comstock (Va.), Mike Coffman (Colo.), Carlos Curbelo (Fla.) and Kevin Yoder (Kan.), as well as Pete Sessions (Tex.), who serves as Rules Committee chairman and has been in Congress for 15 years.
They even scored a few notable upsets, such as Democrat Max Rose taking out Rep. Daniel Donovan (R-N.Y.) in a Staten Island-based district the GOP wasn’t supposed to lose.
Crowd chants 'Speaker' as Pelosi takes stage in D.C.
Democratic supporters chanted "speaker" as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took the stage after Democrats regained control of the House on Nov. 6. (Reuters)
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is hoping to hold the speaker’s gavel once again, said triumphantly in her victory speech that because Democrats took the House, “tomorrow will be a new day in America.”
The Democrats also picked up five gubernatorial seats in New Mexico, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan and Maine. Laura Kelly, for one, overtook Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, an ally of Trump with a similarly hard-line approach to immigration.
Then, in what may be considered Democrats' greatest victory of the night, they ousted Wisconsin governor and onetime presidential candidate Scott Walker.
The statewide wins in Wisconsin and Michigan are especially noteworthy given that they are considered among the states that Hillary Clinton thought she had locked down and ultimately cost her the 2016 presidential election.
One could also argue it’s a blue wave based on how historic some of the Democrats’ wins were. There will be a record number of women in Congress next year. The House could have close to 100 women, most of them Democrats who decided to run for public office in response to Trump’s election. The new Democratic caucus will include the first Native American women, the first Muslim women and the youngest woman, who is also Latina, ever elected to Congress.
As for the Senate, few predicted the Democrats would actually win it. But did you see how close Rep. Beto O’Rourke got to beating Sen. Ted Cruz in Texas? Texas!
The Senate map was against Democrats from the start — a lot of their incumbents were up for reelection in conservative states that went for Trump in 2016. If Democrats had retained their Senate seats in Indiana, North Dakota and Missouri, that wouldn’t have been a wave, it would have been a tsunami.
No way, you can’t call that a wave
Sure, the Democrats took the House, but did you see just how badly they got trounced in the Senate? Sens. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.) all lost by sizable margins, allowing the Republicans to widen their majority Notably, the Democratic candidates who received the most national attention and fanfare lost or are on track to lose. In Georgia, even appearances by Oprah Winfrey and former president Barack Obama don’t seem to have gotten gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams across the finish line. And O’Rourke, who reached almost rock-star status (Beyoncé posed on Instagram Tuesday wearing a Beto hat!), couldn’t overtake Cruz in the end.
Democrats also weren’t able to pull off as many upsets in the House as they would have liked. There were several seats that were slightly out of reach, but they had hoped that a big enough wave could capture them.
This election also leaves Democrats with an identity crisis. Since 2016, one of the narratives from the liberal wing of the party has been that Democrats were losing key races because they lacked big, bold ideas.
Yet, some of their highest-profile liberal candidates lost, including Kara Eastman (Neb.), Randy Bryce (Wis.) and Liz Watson (Ind.), making it all the more challenging for Democrats to decide what kind of party they’re going to have heading into the 2020 presidential campaign — which unofficially starts now.

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

1. Dent has been spectacularly wrong in the past.
Although his emails won’t tell you that. He predicted in 2006 that the Dow would hit 40,000 by 2010, along with a “great boom”” that would run from 2007 until early 2010. He then predicted a market correction after this explosion, which anyone could have done. Of course the market would simmer down after hitting 40,000, which it never approached. Dent was far from reality on these predictions.
2. On the other end of the spectrum.
Dent also predicted that the S&P 500 would fall 30-50% in 2012, when in fact it ended up 13.4% in 2012. This should give us caution when we ruminate over Dent’s latest prediction that the Dow will drop to 3,300 within the next half-year.
3. Dent has had two exchange-traded funds shut down in the past several years.
Both of these funds were based on the hallmarks of Dent’s research: broad trends in the global economy combined with extensive demographic analysis. The DENT Tactical ETF (DENT) was closed in August 2012 after falling 12.9% over the nearly three years of its existence, in contrast to the Vanguard Total Stock Index Fund (VTI), which rose 42.7% during that period . Comparable funds gained between 5 and 43% during that same period. A mutual fund known as the AIM Dent Demographic Trends merged with another mutual fund and hit $2 billion in assets before losing 80% of those. Dent said the fund did not take all of his advice and suffered for it.
4. While Dent has been praised as a very smart man, intelligence alone does not guarantee accurate predictions regarding the stock market.
Lots of smart people are wrong when they begin making predictions in this area, particularly in today’s volatile economic climate. Just because Dent has two New York Times bestsellers does not mean that he has been correct more often than any other pundit.
5. Dent draws on mounds of data based on past performance of the market in light of demographic trends.
There is certainly some merit for this approach, but the past is so limited in the history of stock markets that it can be very difficult to predict the future from it. The sample size is limited, and almost all other financial experts believe that other variables should take precedence over demographic data when making predictions about the market.

Blakk Bonez OH wait, wait! Now, it's "light complexions"... So, they don't mind whites being "privileged" because... THEY LIGHT TOO?? HAHAHA.. No listen dummy. THEY'RE the ones who are privileged. They get into engineering school, medical school, law school, and doctoral programs MUCH EASIER than whites, WHY? Because they have PERFECT SAT SCORES That's why. The only way in for blacks are on the affirmative action program. And that's a fact! Now THATS what I call privilege. Asians get in while being smart and blacks get in while being dumb. Do you know how many Nobel Prize winners are black? Now, how many are JEWS? Why? Because they are privileged? They go through the HOLOCAUST and you telling me, that they're privileged? It's because they're SMART. That's why. You have Howard University, and the graduates are still dumb.

@helenl7967 ANYONE has a right to lobby. Any citizen can make an appointment to see his elected representative. It's just that they're too lazy to do so. A company employing thousands of workers, not only has a right to lobby, but an OBLIGATION to make their concerns known to legislators. There is no wage parity anymore than there is height, weight, grocery, or automobile parity. You have no skills, no education, no experience? Then your pay reflects that shortcoming. Handing them more wages for no more productivity, It's like busting windows just to keep window installers working. Don't give a man a fish.. give him a pole. Don't ask what you can do to help the poor, rather ask what are the poor doing to help themselves! Bolshevik Bernie cares only about votes, not hungry people. Do you see him working at the food bank? Find me who he donates to... you can't. Then Google "the giving pledge" and see what those "greedy rich" really do with their money. He's a fraud. We've spent a trillion dollars on the war on poverty. Isn't it time to try something new?

YouTube Censors I agree. My guess is that in Russia they teach all the little children to be good little communists, but here in the USA, they ALSO are teaching the children to be good little communists as well. The parents were sixties dopers, that are slackers, content with the proverbial pot to pi** in, and the children are raised to be the same. I see that at McDonald's staring at the change in their hand. They can't figure out why you gave them a five dollar bill with an extra eight cents. They see people with new cars, a boat, camper, and going on vacation, and as they lean on their broom, they wonder why there's such "wealth inequality". My parents raised five, worked double jobs, paid us for work around the house, and we got socks for Christmas. We admired the wealthy, and felt sorry if they weren't as happy as us! Who's to blame? DEMOCRATS!! To be honest, Bush Junior helped them too. The dems are flooding the country with MORE desperate poor so they can keep moaning about the wealthy.

@chocolatte6157 You're right. I wear my fingers out telling internet baby wipes, how the Chinese have ripped us off in SO many ways. You can Google China trade cheating, and read for an hour! Lies, theft, schemes, copying, spies, roadblocks, ignoring law. On and on. And I'd bet that the other countries do similar things, just not as bad. The companies... OUR COMPANIES sold the American worker down the drain and kept quiet, as long as they were stuffing their wallets with cash. Now, we have these idiots telling us about all the"great things" China is doing!!

1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.

Hey Bob... You want to talk about the criminals that Trump pardoned? How about the ones obummer pardoned too??
By the end of his second and final term on January 20, 2017, United States President Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant the executive clemency—that is, "pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve"[1]—to 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes. Of the acts of clemency, 1,715 were commutations (including 504 life sentences) and 212 were pardons.[2][3] Most individuals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges,[4] and had received lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentences at the height of the war on drugs.[5]
Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.[6][7] He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.[2][8]

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

@adrian_sanchez No, my point is that everything IS dangerous if misused. And no, you don't get to opt out of being around natural gas. If my house explodes and catches my neighbors house on fire, can they "opt out" of any natural gas being used in their community? What I'm telling you is that ITS NOT A HAZARD. If you want to stand for years under the cell tower, then MAYBE your chance of getting cancer is increased. There are microwave technicians that have worked around, and in close proximity to microwave transmissions, and even THEY don't have a higher incidence of cancer. Life is FULL of risks, but the benefits must be balanced with the risk. 5G has tremendous benefits for Healthcare, living standards, and research, all at a very low to non existant risk. You can opt out! Move to the desert.

@arcanondrum6543 The Big short?? That's where you get your political education from?? Look, it's not complicated.. It starts with GOVERNMENT interference in Mortgage lending. FIRST they destroyed the S&L by forcing them to lend to the low life element of society. THEN, they continued by demanding that they make loans available to POOR CREDIT BUMS and home flippers, and NEARLY DESTROYED the country. They "bailed out" the big banks because had they not, we all stand in soup lines!! Meanwhile, as I've said, they paid back EVERY DIME. Can you say the same about the bums that SIGNED for mortgages and walked away?? Bernie votes ALWAYS to weaken the country, to drive jobs OVERSEAS, to EXPAND the power of government, to EXPAND their role in our everyday life, and to REWARD bums instead of the successful. How's that "get paid to stay home" working for you? Everything that the Democrats installed is BANKRUPT! Name me a government program that isn't either broke or borderline bankrupt. Your Democrat cities are in FLAMES and bankrupt due to UNION PENSIONS!! Crime in blue states is going through the roof!! If not for Trump, we'd be in a depression right now. Highest employment in HISTORY. Black, white, Hispanic, AND WOMEN.

@Leo_oe_I ONE issue or question at a time. Why shouldn't we just lock them up? Because we have the 1) victim suffer 2) the guilty suffer 3) the taxpayer suffer. Too much suffering. Now, with death comes RELIEF. The victim feels justice is served. The guilty pays with his life for the life that he's taken. The taxpayer is relieved of being PENALIZED with supporting a criminal for the rest of his life, AND the ruinous medical bills that come along with it. Now think about this.. Natural gas is poisonous, explosive, and dangerous, and many people are killed by it every year. So, should we say that it's terrible that "innocent" people are being killed by natural gas, and it should be outlawed? Fifty THOUSAND die in car accidents, let's abolish auto transportation? But, that's EXACTLY the case that you are trying to make. You want to abolish the death penalty, for the very few innocent that are affected by it. Trust me.. I know you liberals. If we could send YOU PERSONALLY the bill for their prison sentence, you'd change in a heartbeat. But as long as the "taxpayer" foots the bill, you don't mind warehousing murderers.

@araara4746 I don't agree. China PRODUCES very little. They "assemble" what the West has given them. Do They INVENT new television? INVENT new microprocessors?
Cheap labor HAS BEEN their biggest attraction. Now companies by the THOUSANDS are leaving China to where they are treated better. Yes, they can buy food from other countries. But they WILL be paying in dollars, not Yuan. China has a FALSE GDP. Roads to nowhere, empty apartments, vacant high speed rail, floods and desertification destroying the country. It's all a fraud.
Do you know the average yearly wage per capita of the Chinese people? It's 16k per year! They have NO MONEY to buy anything above basic subsistence. Once the decoupling in complete, China will once again be a poor impoverished third world country. No food, no oil, no jobs, no friends. Only a failed Communist nation like North Korea.
Over time, the true cost of all the glitzy skylines, six-lane highways, cutting-edge international airports and stadiums, sprawling municipal centers, swanky shopping centers and picturesque promenades around the nation have become clear: lots of unproductive, debt-driven growth.

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

Forget rental property. It's a losing proposition. 1) only works right place, right time, right conditions 2) You share your rent with the real estate agent ( buy and sell) the government (taxes) the maintenance man, roofer, plumber, etc.. 3) That 150,000 that you see as the big kahuna, buys 70,000 in real money after its paid off.
THE REAL ANSWER IS EDUCATION.
Invest in education. Make 50,000 each and every year. Defer taxes as you save for retirement, and ONLY ONLY ONLY invest in your OWN house. That's a 1000 a month income they can't tax, as soon as it's paid off. FORGET being a landlord. If you get it RIGHT... You just do OK, you get it WRONG and you take a bath..

@DharmaDerelict We'll, let's see. If you consider that Donna Brazil GAVE the questions to Hillary ahead of her debate with Donald Trump, I wouldn't go the "great ideas, ethics, and behavior route if I were you. Now, on the other hand, if the Democrats are trying to put a face on their "inclusion" fantasies, as Trump is draining away the African American support, then you might have a point. Yes indeed, they simply have her there because she is black, and unlike Lunatic Maxine Waters, she knows how to stick to the script.

@jeckjeck3119 Yeah, let's see. Seniors, unions, military, Arabs, blacks, Republicans, all hate him. He has a whopping 20% of democrats that support him. Trump has 95% of Republicans. Even the Democrat party doesn't want the senile old Bolshevik. Wait until Trump puts him through the blender on the national debate stage. Bernie gets cheers from his adoring puppets with his stale old Robin hood lines. He'll be so nervous, he'll have another heart attack. Meanwhile, Trump plays the camera like a worn out fiddle. He chewed up Hillary with her 40 years of debates, just watch what he does to humiliate the senile old commie.

Here's who lies... Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Yeah.. We're really scared!!! The economy has been red hot since President Donald J. Trump took office. That’s great news on its own. But even better is that not all booms are created equal—and the blue-collar Trump Economy is paying off for exactly the working Americans who need it most.
Last year, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett reported that blue-collar jobs grew at their fastest pace since 1984. And now, “after years of job losses, U.S. manufacturing employment has risen for 18 straight months among those holding production or nonsupervisory jobs, the longest stretch of gains since the mid-1990s,” The Wall Street Journal wrote this month.
More good news today: “Real wages for American families are soaring,” the White House Council of Economic Advisers reported this morning. Hourly earnings rose by 1.9 percent in the past 12 months—far exceeding even last year’s pace.
Complementing those rising wages is a significant drop in prices. American families are paying less at the pump as gasoline prices fell 9.1 percent during the past year. And in keeping with a major promise from President Trump, last month saw the biggest year-over-year decline in prescription drug costs since 1972.
February’s jobs report, released Friday, revealed that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent last month, remaining near a 50-year low.
Behind these numbers is a renewal of hope among working-class families and blue-collar communities across the heartland. Nearly 70 percent of Americans told Gallup they expect their personal financial situation to be even better next year. Their employers are optimistic, too. On average, a stunning 91.8 percent of manufacturers feel positive about their companies’ future growth under President Trump, compared with an average of 68.6 percent during the last two years of the Obama Administration.

Trevor Sole Come out of your coma long enough to concentrate and try to understand the following...
If I get two children, and give them a candy bar and tell them to "share" and be fair about it, they will divide the bar in half and each have their fair share. If I then told them the candy bar costs ten cents and they would have to pay for it, EVEN CHILDREN would know that EACH has to pay five cents. That's in the real world. In Bernie world, one child eats four fifth of the bar, and expects the OTHER child to pay 9 cents. Are you still awake? Now before your lips open, and something schtoopid tumbles out, LOOK THIS UP. The top one percent pay forty percent of ALL income tax collected. The top ten percent pay SEVENTY PERCENT of all tax collected. Yet, the poor swallow up the proceeds in jails, hospitals, public schools, prisons, drug treatment programs, and on and on. The wealthy don't pay their "fair share" They pay VASTLY MORE than their fair share, while those who eat some chocolate (millions of them) pay NOTHING. Not even one cent.

Fighting for THE WORKING CLASS?? BAHAHAHAHA WHAT A LAUGH RIOT!! Not one union supports this Bolshevik! Only young simpletons.
Heres Bernies plan in action....
It is one of history’s greatest ironies: No segment of society punishes the poor more than those who champion their cause. This is true historically in nations claimed by Marxism, and in democratic nations today claimed by liberalism. Rhetoric aside, the left always screws the poor. The latest Marxist to do so, in a democratic country no less, is New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
De Blasio recently announced that the way to help the poor do better in school is to hike taxes on the rich. He said “our mission is to redistribute wealth” and to close the “COVID achievement gap.”
The man is clueless. Owing to absurdly high taxes, the rich are leaving New York in droves; taxing them at an even higher rate will only encourage more to leave. They are taking their tax contributions and their jobs with them.
Moreover, fleecing the rich will do absolutely nothing to enhance academic achievement. We have known for decades that there is no correlation between spending on students per capita and academic achievement. Of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, D.C. is #1 in spending per student and #51 in academic achievement.
What makes for student success is the family, not the schools. Asians are “people of color,” yet they have no problem succeeding in school. That’s because, unlike African Americans, the typical Asian family has a father and a mother at home.
So the “color” argument that de Blasio favors—structural racism is holding blacks back—is completely false. Black kids from two-parent families are not failing in school. The real issue is the family, not race.
That said, it is not as though schools don’t matter at all, it’s just that they are of secondary importance. If de Blasio really wanted poor kids to succeed in school, he would spend money on charter schools, provide scholarships to private schools, endorse school choice, and allow the poor to enroll in Catholic schools. Instead, he fights every initiative that works. To top things off, he is the one who opens and shuts the schools like a madman, thus exacerbating the “COVID achievement gap” he claims to bemoan.
Playing Robin Hood drives the rich out of New York, shrinks the tax base, and does nothing to help the poor succeed in school. De Blasio is a three time loser, all in the name of championing their cause.

@goonerOZZ Well, the Euro is one to one with the dollar, so they're not getting a better deal over there. South America is going broke. We get a few going there for retirement, but I don't see young high tech workers moving to Peru, or Bolivia!! Canada as far as I can see is a frozen wasteland, and if they want to move there, God bless them!! We have the poor getting Medicaid, we have old people getting Medicare, and most employers give workers a health care plan. But really, I should be telling everyone that we're starving here in the USA, because they just keep coming and coming. Good luck with that oil. Take care.

@krasnov666 I don't believe it. I know it!! Look at the price of oil that the entire economy depends on. The FIRST THING that Biden did was to pull the oil leases, shut down the pipeline, throw people out of work. DAY ONE!!! Don't believe me. Look it up, yourself. He reversed Trump's policies that gave us the best economy..ie. More blacks, Hispanics, and women working IN HISTORY, than we had in decades. The stock market, hit all time highs, and we had INDEPENDENT ENERGY. Look it up. Red states with no shut down had less people dead than blue states, and STILL DO. In fact, entire countries like Sweden that didn't lock down at all did better than Democrat states. All that is easily provable on line.

Here's what getting berned is like..
When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

Facts don't change... they're just kept hidden............
- One of the main pre-event soundbites of the COP26 summit was the call to ban coal, urged on by the conference’s president Alok Sharma as well as G20 countries, yet coal still has a bright future in Asia.
- Asia’s largest coal consumers, China and India, have been resisting any stringent commitments from the summit as they see coal as a key part of their generation capacity.
- In Asia alone, there are some 200 coal-fired plants currently under construction, 90% of global greenfield coal capacity, with China topping the list with 95 plants and India coming second with 28 projects.
- As of today, of the more than 2,600 coal-powered plants operating globally, 71% are located in Asia.

@slanteyedpoet Do you seriously believe that, "election day breakout"? He won Democrat districts ALL OVER the nation! He won the "blue wall" and for a guy that never spent a day as a phony, political correct, promise ignoring, politician, he sure beat that seasoned veteran Hillary, huh? Here's the wind up. Love him or hate him, if you believe that the media should choose our President for us, or that DESPITE the smear campaign, that millions of Americans STILL voted for Trump, then what would have happened if the media would have been HONEST and IMPARTIAL? He'd have won in a landslide. Did you ever question WHAT was in the thousands of emails that disappeared off of Clinton's illegal email server? But, all of a sudden Ukraine is an impeachable offense? Yang is out of his league. No experience, no expert at anything, no meaningful plan or platform, no support EVEN with Democrats! And no chance of going anywhere in politics.

@slanteyedpoet WHAT HANDOUTS?? You mean endless social services for people that pay ZERO TAXES and produce nothing for society except poop?? Jails, hospitals, police, fire, roads, and the "poor" pay NOTHING! and produce nothing, hire no one, contribute zero, and suck the society dry. Corporations pay no CORPORATE tax dummy, but the pay HUNDREDS of other taxes that yo-yo's like you never even heard of! They pay taxes for tens of thousands of employees, real estate taxes, licensing fees, taxes on communication, transportation, and on and on. It's only ignorant young bozos with lint in their pockets that attack corporations. Losers.

@slanteyedpoet No, in fact the poor and lower middle class pay next to NOTHING in taxes. Now come out of your coma for long enough to read (and verify for yourself) what the FACTS are.... The top ONE PERCENT pay 40% of all federal income tax collected. The top TEN PERCENT pay 70% of all federal income tax collected. The poor are LEECHES on the back of those that pay. Using the VAST majority of social services. A burden on our hospitals, police, prisons, and schools. Corporations that pay NO TAX are the very few that the leftists trumpet each tax season, IGNORING the thousands of OTHER corporations that pay a very high tax, both from profit and their operations. But, losers, lowlife, moochers, anarchists, and the mentally deficient and ignorant don't understand these FACTS or care to learn, since they need a scapegoat to point to, in order to cover for their failure in life. SKILLS and EDUCATION are the solution to low wages, not your spatula.

THIS IS FACT.... NOT OPINION...
2016: Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders says concerns about his honeymoon trip to the USSR in the ’80s are “silly." He’ll have a harder time explaining his months-long stay at a hardcore Stalinist camp in the ’60s.
It’s clear the self-avowed socialist is even further left than he has admitted. Fifty years ago, during the height of the Cold War, he sought out communist indoctrination.
The Israeli press earlier this month broke the story that Sanders, who is Jewish, spent several months at an Israeli commune co-founded by a Soviet spy. The revelation is just now wending its way through the American media, where it’s been confirmed by none other than the New York Times, though the pro-Democrat paper predictably buried the story on its back pages.
As a college student in 1963, Sanders was a guest of the Hashomer Hatzair, a Marxist youth movement founded by communist Ya’akov Hazan, who called the Soviet Union a second homeland and eulogized Stalin as “the great leader and extolled commander. We lower our flag in grief in memory of the great revolutionary fighter (and) architect of socialist construction.”
Ignoring Stalin’s atrocities, Hazan oozed: “His huge historical achievements will guide generations in their march toward the reign of socialism and communism the world over.”
The Marxist movement Sanders joined pledged its allegiance to the Soviet Union and was described as “Stalinist” as late as 1969 — well after Sanders’ visit.
Sanders has acknowledged staying at a “kibbutz;” but there are many of them in Israel, and he and his campaign have refused to ID which one he attended. The Tel Aviv paper Haaretz dug up the records, revealing the exact camp -- Sha’ar Ha’amakim -- and noted that it was founded in 1935 during Stalin’s reign.
The Times reported that Sanders' camp viewed the USSR as a model society worthy of adoption, and often flew the Red flag at its events -- the same flag, notably, that Sanders would later hang in his office as mayor of Burlington, Vt., according to the New York Post.
The Times says Sanders and his comrades would farm in the morning and then partake in “cultural events” in the afternoon. Did he sing the communist workers’ anthem? Pay homage to Lenin and Stalin?
Voters ought to know. Only, the media aren't interested in finding out. So far no debate moderator has asked Sanders about his commie camp days. Strikingly, even Fox News let Sanders off the hook in a rare interview last Sunday.
Sanders has a long resume of radicalism. Here’s the rest of Sanders’ subversive past the media are keeping under wraps:
1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
This is what Sanders really means by “political revolution,” a battle cry he mouthed no fewer than four times during a recent national debate.
Sanders isn’t just a “socialist.” Or even a communist sympathizer. He is a hard-core communist collaborator who is far, far outside the American political mainstream. So far outside, in fact, there undoubtedly is a file with his name on it at the FBI documenting his subversive activities.
Let’s hope it is leaked to the public before Sanders gets any closer to the White House.

@BruteStrength99 I'm glad you asked. Yes, the problem is here, and has been here. BUT, the question to be asked is WHERE IS THE PROBLEM? Point it out. SHOW ME. If you watch CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and other leftist outlets, you'd say "it's in America" I'm telling you that IT'S NOT. It's where LIBERALS ARE. Got that? It is now, and has always been where Democrats run the circus. They syphon off cash from the haves, and shower the have nots with that money FOR FIFTY YEARS and poverty GROWS. Reagen got in, Trump got in, and POVERTY FELL. Are you paying attention? They're doing it right now... handing out cash that WHO will repay? The poor pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX right now.. Who does that leave? YOU! You're gonna pay! And keep paying. And the street slime will only grow.
DON'T ASK what we can do for the poor and homeless. ASK what they can do for themselves.

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

The beginning of the toilet flush to remove Bolshevik Bernie has just begun......
Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., supporters have criticized the Democratic National Convention for naming multiple people who backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 to this year's rules committee, The Hill reports.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez has named former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who was a surrogate for the Clinton campaign, and John Podesta, who was Clinton's campaign manager, to sit on the committee. Many Sanders supporters complained in 2016 the party supported Clinton over the senator, who is not a registered Democrat. The Sanders campaign previously tried to have Frank removed from the rules committee in 2016, calling him an "aggressive attack surrogate for the Clinton campaign," but were unsuccessful.
"There's a very small number of appointments of allies to Sen. Sanders," said DNC member Yasmine Taeb from Virginia, who was a delegate for Sanders in 2016.

Hey Bernie... Here's your boy Joe making BIG PROGRESSIVE MOVES already.. Of course your supporters don't hear you mention THIS stuff...
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

ritics have cited the Trump corporate bankruptcies as examples of his recklessness and inability to manage, but the real-estate developer, casino operator and former reality-television star says his use of federal law to protect his interests illustrates his sharp business acumen.
"I have used the laws of this country just like the greatest people that you read about every day in business have used the laws of this country, the chapter laws, to do a great job for my company, my employees, myself and my family,” Trump said in August 2015.
The New York Times, which conducted an analysis of regulatory reviews, court records and security filings, found otherwise, however. It reported in 2016 that Trump "put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments."
"The burden of his failures," according to the newspaper, "fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen."
6 Corporate Bankruptcies
Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey's gambling facilities. He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to restructure or wipe away much of their debt to other companies, creditors, and shareholders while remaining in business but under the supervision of a bankruptcy court. Chapter 11 is often called "reorganization" because it allows the business to emerge from the process more efficient and on good terms with its creditors.
One point of clarification: Trump has never filed personal bankruptcy, only corporate bankruptcy related to his casinos in Atlantic City. “I have never gone bankrupt,” Trump has said

@devlinkellar1702 It is GOING away. TEN TIMES more died under Obama flu than THIS pandemic. here's what's going on, under your nose
When police arrested Zul Mirza Mohamed on suspicion of voter fraud Wednesday night, prosecutors say, the candidate for mayor in Carrollton, Texas, was stuffing envelopes with mail-in ballot applications to send to Dallas County.
However, Texas state and local law enforcement officials allege that Mohamed’s illicit activities ran far deeper than what he was caught in the act doing.
Prosecutors charged Mohamed, 39, with 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot, the Texas Attorney General’s Office said.
If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

Conatus Gibran Barahahaha.. Every time your lips open.. Something stupid comes out!! In the early 1980s, after “Red China” abandoned its Maoist revolutionary agenda to pursue strength and prosperity through international trade, Canada began transferring hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to China’s post-Mao regime through the Canadian International Development Agency, the World Bank and other UN agencies.
Basically, China named a request and Canada signed a cheque.
We paid the cost of feasibility studies for the Three Gorges Dam, we sold China CANDU nuclear reactors on highly favourable terms, we funded projects to improve the quality of Chinese wheat and pork production.
Most importantly, we paid for Chinese scientists, engineers and technicians to come to Canada to acquire Canadian advanced technologies.
These programs were always characterized as “exchange,” but the money was all Canadian, with nothing given back beyond duck dinners and Great Wall tourism https://www.macleans.ca/politics/canada-drops-charade-of-progressive-trade-with-china/

@TheEyesThrone That's only their responsibility, and no one else. If you're dumb, you can be a welder. If you have no skills, you can be a salesman. If you're poor, there's grants and loans. If you need education, educate yourself. Bernie doesn't want these things. He wants FREE things. Free education so it gets ruined like public schools. Free housing so that it gets ruined like Public housing. Free welfare checks that break up families. His fan base can't argue with free, that's why they love him. The rest of us EARN what we have, work HARD for what we have. Then, you're respected by your wife, family, and fellow workers. He's a bum, that never held a real job.

@cat_lover007 Intensifying its enforcement in so-called sanctuary cities across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has begun 24-hour-a-day surveillance operations around the homes and workplaces of undocumented immigrants. The agency plans to deploy hundreds of additional officers in unmarked cars in the coming weeks to increase arrests in cities where local law enforcement agencies do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
ICE leadership has requested at least 500 special agents who normally conduct long-term investigations into dangerous criminals and traffickers to join the enhanced arrest campaign rolling out in sanctuary cities, according to an internal email reviewed by The New York Times.
The request follows an earlier decision, made public last month, to deploy elite tactical BORTAC agents — immigration SWAT teams that are normally assigned to risky border smuggling, rescue and intelligence operations — to help arrest and deport immigrants in sanctuary cities.
The expanded surveillance operations and added manpower are the latest intensification in a conflict between the Trump administration and cities that refuse to help with deportations, including Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New Orleans and Newark. The effort began last month and will run through Dec. 31, according to the internal email, which says the initiative is called Operation Palladium.

@stevenhenson6838 No, when YOUR business fails it fails. Two people and a mop and bucket are out of work. When corporations fail, tens of thousands are out of work. Look, I know you have a low IQ, but try to think of it like a butcher and a surgeon. They're both using a knife, but one is a LOT, LOT more important!! That's not socialism. That's common sense. The bank is there for your toilet cleaning business, just like the corporation. But, when a BILLION DOLLARS is involved, the government becomes the bank. YOU only need a new poop stick, and toilet cleaner. HERE'S YOUR SOCIALIST RESPONSE.... https://reut.rs/2xgXTSC

In New York, more than 5,800 nursing home residents have died in connection to COVID-19, the most in the country.
On March 25, New York officials ordered nursing homes to admit infected patients, if medically stable. Then, as deaths mounted inside the facilities, Gov. Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy on May 10 under pressure from advocates and relatives.
In contrast, Florida, which never ordered nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients, reported 1043 nursing home resident deaths as of May 22, despite having more of the elderly care facilities than New York.

@lnoway5929 OH noooo. Bernie is a Jewish angel. He's actually the savior of mankind. He never lies, and has only his fellow man, and especially the poor and the hungry on his mind. He's made millions and given it away to the hungry. He's taken his three homes and opened them to the homeless. Even his family have become penny less by putting the poor first. I just couldn't count the tens of thousands of jobs that his legislative career has created. In fact, the unions have rallied behind him because of his plans for the working man. I mean, it's not like he's tried to dump nuclear waste out of his home state onto a poor minority population, right? He's really concerned about climate change and saving the planet. Who else can you name that wants not just Americans but EVERYONE that steps foot in our country to have free Healthcare? Public housing, Public schools, our social security system, the public library, Amtrak, the welfare system and countless other programs have been a MAGNIFICENT success!! Bernie just wants to expand those into banking, wall Street, and our health system. There's an old saying that guides his moral beacon. It says: Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a lifetime. Give a man a pole and he'll eat only for a day. There was another that gave the masses a never ending supply of fish that magically appeared. He was Jewish too. Bernie is just like him. BAHAHAHAHA..

The beginning of the toilet flush to remove Bolshevik Bernie has just begun......
Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., supporters have criticized the Democratic National Convention for naming multiple people who backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 to this year's rules committee, The Hill reports.
DNC Chairman Tom Perez has named former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who was a surrogate for the Clinton campaign, and John Podesta, who was Clinton's campaign manager, to sit on the committee. Many Sanders supporters complained in 2016 the party supported Clinton over the senator, who is not a registered Democrat. The Sanders campaign previously tried to have Frank removed from the rules committee in 2016, calling him an "aggressive attack surrogate for the Clinton campaign," but were unsuccessful.
"There's a very small number of appointments of allies to Sen. Sanders," said DNC member Yasmine Taeb from Virginia, who was a delegate for Sanders in 2016.

@sharonminsuk You got a bed Sharon? Then you're rich! You keeping warm? Then I have a million refugees headed across the border, and millions more AFTER THAT. It's rich people like YOU that they're coming for. They have nothing. That makes YOU rich. Bernie used to wag his finger at millionaires, he called THEM the rich. Now, that HE'S a millionaire, he's calling the BILLIONAIRES rich. No, no.. it's all a game of words Sharon. YOU are the rich and you're gonna have a mob come clean out everything you own, and they'll be selling it on the corner. They'll tell passerbys that they got it from some greedy white rich lady. Bernie will call it "economic justice". Now, you said "what I have the police don't protect" so, assuming you're telling the truth, you could be FIRST to be ransacked and robbed. Where I live in a RED state, we love our police, both rich and poor. We support them as they arrest criminals, black OR white. We don't look to see what color a criminal is, we just want them locked up. OUR judges don't let thieves and rapists loose on the citizens. You'll figure this out eventually, just hope that it's not too late for you. Here's a video for you.. it's gonna be your NEW POE-LEASE... https://www.foxnews.com/us/louisiana-sanitation-workers-rescue-kidnapping-girl-10-while-working-pickup-route

Does this sound familiar??.... When Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, he promised health care for all. In 1999, he got it written into the Constitution, which stated: "Health is a fundamental social right, an obligation of the State.
Chavez also promised to make wealth more equal, “overcome poverty” and mandate higher wages. He made initial progress in expanding medical care and reducing poverty, which was praised by Americans from Sean Penn to Michael Moore.
This strategy was great in the short term, but it crushed investment and new businesses. Predictably, when economic activity and oil prices went south, he resorted to printing money, and we all know what has happened.”
By 2018, the Venezuelan health system was a disaster. Hospitals were out of basic medicine, and also without food for children who were starving due to extreme poverty.

@jme2816 What a joke. Do you ever THINK about what lines you repeat from the commies? Is HARLEY the poster child for our loss of jobs,? They're JUNK that's why they're moving overseas, and their workers are stoners! Why not look at MANUFACTURING JOBS?? WHOAH! No mention of that huh dopey? Next is GM. They were given a multi BILLION DOLLAR bailout and a TWENTY YEAR tax benefit and STILL can't hit the top ten list of best cars (look it up), Your NEXT stupid statement is the value of the dollar.. You are 100% WRONG. Type in dollar Euro in Google and look at the chart, dummy. The dollar is STRONGER than ever! (do dollar ten too) Now, WHO VOTED AGAINST TRUMP and his NEW HEALTHCARE PLAN? Each and every Democrat! EVERY ONE!! And you blame Trump??? So, there you are shit face. Do your homework. Look up what I've said. More working.. Higher wages... Better jobs... Stronger military... Thousands in tax cuts for the middle class. Why aren't the demon rats talking about the economy Dumbo? Why no mention of it from them? Duh!! NOW READ THE FACTS, AND DRY YOUR TEARS....... What's True
Harley-Davidson has announced the closure of at least one of their U.S. factories and also announced that they would be opening a manufacturing plant in Thailand.
What's False
These decisions were both made before President Trump imposed tariffs on imported steel, and Harley-Davidson did not shut down their Wisconsin plant nor stop building motorcycles in the United States.
Origin
Motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson could face new challenges in the wake of President Donald Trump’s sudden decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum in March 2018.
However, a subsequent viral Facebook post exaggerated these challenges, appearing to conflate the announcement with old news stories about Harley-Davidson’s past business decisions:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 22, 2023
WASHINGTON D.C. — Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

TOFKAS01 Because it is love that conquers all. The USA has the one true God on its side. It could annahilate a country IF it desired. If winning was all that mattered, there would be a desert where the battle was fought. No men, no women, no children. Not even a bird left alive. However, the God of Israel, the true God of Christianity, tells us to temper aggression with mercy. NOT to chop off the head of the unbeliever. But, to show mercy and compassion, which leads him to the TRUE God. We see this miracle in the Japanese. Who was our bitter enemy, but now a staunch ally. We see it in Germany, who's country we destroyed and now is our friend. But, the God of hatred, retribution, and punishment called Allah, has no such friends. They teach to destroy the enemy, while the true God teaches to love and forgive your enemy. Peace will come once Satanic Allah worshippers are engulfed in the fire.

No, you're very confused. YES I CAN stand out front of your house and yell at you! When it becomes "disturbing the peace" THEN you have a claim. We get to take MY SPEECH and YOUR CLAIM before a judge. He decides who's "right" is paramount. Got that? No.. Due process is CLOSELY linked with free speech. "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth".. A "witness stand" that raises the person testifying ABOVE those that came to observe. There is NO conflict of terms at all. Now, to your NEXT bogus claim. "the only reason Trump got involved..." is pure ignorance on your part, since from his very beginning as a candidate, unruly mobs were outside his venues, attempting to stop those from hearing his speeches. All across the LIBERAL Universities, conservatives have been harassed and stopped from speaking. MOBS OF FACISTS that show up to block entrances, assault participants, and cause mayhem in order to intimidate those who came to hear Trump. Ann Coulter, Ben Shapiro, and many others are being forced off stage by angry low life scum that are AFRAID of a debate. They work tirelessly to AVOID a debate they know they can not win. Their only answer is mob rule. THATS WHAT TRUMP IS ATTEMPTING TO STOP. Public funds will not be available for those schools that allow this thuggery to continue. Debate has been the tradition, and the standard, not mob rule. A parting gift for your liberal mind.... https://youtu.be/FDa-3VkLDMw

@thorable530 No, in no respect are ANY of the founding principles being "cast aside" What has changed is that now, we have a click bait media that highlights every loser, leftist, and criminal, as someone we should admire, and ignores the real people, the Christians, the Farmers, the small business people, and the middle American blue collar worker that are the bedrock of our society. Who gets the attention? Is it Snoop dog, or the woman that helped cure Ebola? That's the problem, not the society.

@fpdldfpsdffld2508 Holy cow..Are you writing a book on the subject? What a looooooooong reply for a simple question. "Propped up" or "supported" does not mean INSTALLED. The USA like every other country "supports" those national leaders most friendly to our nation, policies, and goals. That's NOT the same as poisoning a candidate that you oppose (as Russia did) Arresting them (as Burma did) or having ZERO opposition as China does. Its a KNOWN FACT that Russia has closed ALL opposition reporting in their country, while the USA freely allows EVERY news outlet to report their views. Russia NEVER EVER admits to lies and wrong doing, same as China. Even when faced with facts, they continue to lie. EVERYONE knows this. That's why they have no friends, unless they buy them or bully them. Their military is a JOKE. Their "navy" is a BAD JOKE, and as we can see in the Ukraine, their Army is laughable. Without the A bomb, they are a third world backwater, that produces nothing but raw materials, weapons, and misery.

@mrob456 That's what I'm trying to explain to you. Those are NOT sound principles, and they are not helping the poor or average man. They are ideas from an era long ago that don't apply to our modern economy. I retired at 40 and have owned multiple homes, traveled the world, and have enough money for us, the kids, and the grandkids.
We're in a sea called capitalism. Some struggle to stay afloat, while others ride the waves into the shore and learn not to fight the waves. The economy is always changing and those that are locked into "rules" like Ramsey preaches are correct only part of the time. Ask yourself why the biggest corporations in the world are in debt? But, "common" wisdom tells you to work hard, count your pennies, budget, and try to get OUT of debt. Are corporate accountants stupid? Have a great day!

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

Just remember.. for every sad sack story that liberals like democracy now shows you about injustice to black murderers, there A HUNDRED murderers that get let loose. Many commit new crimes!!
LYNCHBURG, Va. – More than 30 years after her death, the family of a teenage girl killed in Lynchburg is speaking out against the Virginia Parole Board’s decision to release her convicted killer.
On April 5, 1989, Gregory Joyner, who was 17-years-old at the time, was convicted of the first-degree murder and attempted rape of 15-year-old Sarah Jamison. according to the Washington Post.
Joyner admitted that he strangled Jamison to death on May 15, 1988, after he claimed to have consensual sex with her, according to the Lynchburg Commonwealth’s Attorney. He then said that he buried her body in a wooded area near her parent’s house, where her remains were found two weeks later.
On June 9, 1989, Joyner was sentenced to life plus 10 years — the maximum sentences for his charges.
Joyner was denied parole by the board in June of 2017 due to his “extensive criminal record, history of violence, and release at the time would diminish the serious nature of his offenses.” According to the commonwealth’s attorney, the board came to the same decision when Joyner was up for parole in May 2019. Joyner was eventually granted parole a year and a half later.
On Nov. 23, 2020, Jamison’s family found out that Joyner was granted parole.

More lies! Half are Russians that had nothing to do with his campaign.... Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Looking at Sanders’ public statements about economic racism, he is very correct that the Flint water crisis is rooted in corrupt economic racist policies. However, Sanders himself is personally responsible for promoting similar corrupt economic racist policies when it favored his own constituents. In the 1990s, Sanders pushed through legislation to take Vermont’s “low level” nuclear waste and dump it in Sierra Blanca — an impoverished Latino community in Texas. Yes, it’s absolutely as awful as it sounds. This dump site was in fact too close to the Rio Grande and poses an environmental danger, which is why Mexico objected to the dumping near the border and why the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission denied the site a license. The site was positioned atop a weak geological fault, so that plus the proximity to the Rio Grande and the nearby poor Latino community combined to make this a clearly terrible project. Sanders, however, didn’t care, and pushed it through Congress anyway. His wife, by the way, serves as an alternate commissioner for the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission.
Meanwhile, Sanders himself refused to even visit the little town to talk to the residents, and dismissed activists who tried to speak with him about it

TRUMP RIGHT AGAIN.. Well, Dr. Birx must have missed the press release, published by the AP on April 20th, announcing the novel treatment developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai that administers ultraviolet light inside the bodies of patients inflicted with respiratory infections. The research team at Cedars-Sinai is currently working with the FDA to explore an expedited regulatory process to use the treatment as a possible medical intervention for those suffering from the Wuhan coronavirus.
(Via AP)
[Aytu BioScience, Inc. (the “Company”)], a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced today that it has signed an exclusive worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai to develop and commercialize the Healight Platform Technology (“Healight”). This medical device technology platform, discovered and developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, is being studied as a potential first-in-class treatment for coronavirus and other respiratory infections.
...
The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus.
...
“Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells,” stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, “Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens.

@kriscook8002 And that's exactly what we need. A businessman to run the country like a business. But, the bloodsuckers don't like him. Look at WHAT HE DOES, not what they say about him. But. I'd bet you a thousand dollars that you don't know a third of what he's accomplished in just two years. You hear about stormy Daniel's day after day, while the press ignores the MANY fantastic things he's doing for the people. Did you ever listen to his speeches on the internet or C-span? I'll bet you haven't. I'm telling you, FIFTY improvements to our government, since he took office. The economy was in a strangle hold for eight years. People were marching for jobs and higher wages. Where are they now? WORKING! Everything is doing so much better. Look around where you live for the "help wanted" signs. Believe what you want, but I'm telling you, things are much much better under Trump. He bullshits, he's wacky, he exaggerates, he's an egotist, yes! But the work gets done.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) announced Friday afternoon that they arrested 86 criminal aliens and other illegal immigrants during a three-day enforcement action operation earlier this week.
Federal officers targeted “criminal aliens” in North Texas and Oklahoma, but also arrested other immigration violators, such as those who came into the country legally and overstayed their permission or immigrants who committed criminal acts that would make them eligible for deportation. The press release states that “of the 86 arrested, 55 had criminal convictions; 82 were men and four were women. They range in age from 19 to 61 years old." Those arrested hailed from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Jordan, Laos, Liberia, Nigeria, Panama, Philippines, and Zimbabwe. Criminal aliens differ from illegal aliens in that they have been convicted of another crime in the United States in addition to living in the country without authorization.
“Most of the aliens targeted by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for the following crimes: sexually exploiting a minor, assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug possession, burglary, obstructing police, larceny, manufacturing methamphetamine, firearms offense, smuggling, receiving stolen property, illegally entering the U.S., and driving under the influence (DUI),” the press release continues.

@malicious_clock2479 It's not good to have the young poor and healthy, subsidize the old rich sick people. In some states, like Missouri or Arkansas there are many lakes, and absolutely no chance for water shortages. However, the government has in its great wisdom to mandate water saver shower heads and toilets. This is another of a hundred examples of "good intentions" by the government that creates a mess. There's no problem that government doesn't want to get their hands involved in, and that's why we have a 23 trillion dollar debt. The very poor that they are intending to help are now going to see food, gas, and rents accelerate higher. Mandating $15 an hour is a band aid. THATS Bernie Sanders. Jobs and education, THAT was Trump, and they fired him! They manufactured a Russian hoax and perpetrated it on the American public in order to gain power. I don't want to reward their behavior with my vote. This is the land of opportunity and not the land of results. You get a "chance" to succeed or fail. Billionaires that don't pay taxes, create Amazon that benefits us all. Do me a favor......
Look up "the giving pledge" and after reading it, ask yourself WHY no one ever mentioned it to you. Especially not Bernie. We DO have a health system for the poor.. it's called Medicaid... Thanks.

@malicious_clock2479 I did watch CNN to get both sides of every issue that I was concerned about, but when they crossed the line from "point of view" to outright lying, now I refuse to watch or read anything coming from them. Look... you keep moving the goal post. You asked for a link, and I gave you three. I said he destroyed ISIS and you're talking about ", remnants". There's remnants of dinosaurs that exist today!! No, it wasn't the "USA" that made demands on the EU... it was TRUMP!
Past administration have ignored these two faced actions in the name of greedy business, but Trump was the first to demand a stop to these dealings with the radical Islamic Iran that is a menace to its neighbors. Bernie Sanders is just another on a long line of weak kneed enablers that with a wink and a nod, just ignore these other "allies" to the detriment of the democratic mideast AND the American taxpayer. WHY is Germany buying Russian natural gas, instead of from the USA? Who's the friend here, and who's the enemy? If Russia is not an enemy, then send the American troops home!! We've had enough of this backstabbing. Germany kow tows to the communists in order to sell their automobiles, and yet the USA pays to "protect" them? Trump said NO! Is this what you mean when you say that he has disrupted our relationship with our "allies"?? WHO'S side are they on? We've had enough of this fence sitting from our European allies. More links??

@yetidoesstuff228 Of you would INVESTIGATE the on line claims of those other nations, you would find a different viewpoint. LONG LINES into the months, poor service, denied surgeries. If Canada with a weak military, cutting down trees for export dollars, and (if ONLY you'd investigate) unfair and despicable immigration policies are your solution to free Healthcare, then MOVE TO CANADA! We voted AGAINST IT, instead opting for a FREE and open marketplace, such as we have in cellphone service. BETTER PHONES, CHEAPER SERVICE. Why? Because the government gave FREE cell service to everyone? You want the "free" service that Russia, Cuba, North Korea, has.. go for it. I DO NOT WANT the rich sick old being subsidized by the poor healthy young, that gives mediocre service to us all. NO ONE (say that again) NO ONE is turned away at the hospital for lack of Healthcare.

DEFENDING THE REPUBLIC
February 13, 2023
Dear Patriots,
Some may wonder why we take the time and effort to produce a newsletter three times a week.
We do because we are committed to staying in touch with the people who have supported our efforts.
We do because we know that the effort to suppress information is unrelenting and we want to point you to other opinions and facts from sources that are not an arm of the Democrat Party or a subsidiary of a drug company.

1- You may recognize many of these as sources we use in this newsletter. We actively read and direct your attention to these sites as they are not owned by anti-American interests. These are sources the left has been trying to destroy for a decade. And yet, they persist. They do so because there is still a thirst for different points of view in America.

Why we fight: The blacklist against conservative viewpoints by Big Tech
QUOTE: And some may have thought we were kidding or overreacting when criticizing Big Tech and its silencing of opposing viewpoints. If anything, we may have underestimated the weaponization of Big Tech platforms. In a blockbuster series of reports, the Washington Examiner reveals that Microsoft has partnered with a leftist group that creates “secret blacklists” to deamplify conservative websites and prevent them from gaining value for advertising.
Gabe Kaminsky reveals this in Part 3 of his Disinformation Inc series, which exposes how the “disinformation” craze is justifying censorship and political blacklisting:
A advertising company owned by Microsoft that subscribes to a left-leaning “disinformation” group’s secret blacklist for conservative media outlets has been internally flagging right-leaning websites and taking steps to defund and deplatform them, according to records obtained by the Washington Examiner and whistleblowers in the advertising industry.
The Global Disinformation Index, a British organization with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups, is feeding secret blacklists to ad companies, such as Xandr , with the intent of shutting down websites peddling alleged “disinformation.” Now, sets of documents and emails leaked to the Washington Examiner shed light on how Xandr, which Microsoft bought in 2021 for $1 billion, has targeted disfavored speech and blocked conservative websites from reaping key ad dollars. …
GDI’s “dynamic exclusion list” includes at least 2,000 domains, many of which are “foreign state-sponsored news and opinion sites, forums that traffic in disinformation, and explicitly sanctioned websites,” according to a second source close to Microsoft. Each month, GDI sends Xandr a list of websites on this blacklist, said the source.
It’s not all foreign actors, bots, and trolls, as Kaminsky shows.
The blacklist includes nearly a who’s-who of American conservative platforms – including HotAir and our sister sites Twitchy, RedState, and Townhall:

Emre Koseoglu Now, I'd say we had PLENTY OF PROOF that he committed a crime. Turkey is STILL buying oil from ISIS and supporting their criminal activity... Lawyers for Atilla had sought a sentence of under four years. US prosecutors wanted 15 years.
WATCH: US - Turkish banker Hakan Atilla convicted in Iran sanctions case (2:08)
They said Atilla, who worked as a deputy general manager at Halkbank, was involved in a scheme to help Iran spend oil and gas revenues abroad using fraudulent gold and food transactions through Halkbank, violating US sanctions.
According to prosecutors, the central figure in the scheme was wealthy Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab, who pleaded guilty to fraud, conspiracy and money-laundering charges.
Zarrab, who is yet to be sentenced, testified for several days as the US government's star witness against Atilla.
On the witness stand, Zarrab said he bribed Turkish officials.
Erdogan has said the US case was based on evidence fabricated by followers of US-based Muslim scholar Fethullah Gulen, whom he has blamed for a 2016 coup attempt.
The Turkish president has repeatedly condemned Atilla's conviction, most recently in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Tuesday.
"If Hakan Atilla is going to be declared a criminal, that would be almost equivalent to declaring the Turkish Republic a criminal," Erdogan said.
Atilla was arrested in New York in March 2017, a year after Zarrab's arrest in Florida.

@mdpritom479 Finally..... On March 6, during a ceremony marking the 150th anniversary of Turkey's Supreme Court of Appeals, Erdogan uttered a sentence you would expect to hear from an opposition leader, not a man destined for an imperial presidency. He said, "If people in a country are opening their hands to the skies in desperation, screaming for justice, there is a problem with the legal system." If judges failed to meet his definition of justice, he labeled them "zalim" (cruel) — a potent concept from the Quran meaning they practiced unjust acts of wrongdoing, maltreatment, exploitation and oppression. He didn't stop there: “When we lose justice, we must know we will lose everything else. We value the supremacy of law.”
Despite intense purges and security checks under emergency law, which has been in place for 20 months, judges and prosecutors are still being investigated and suspended. Some 50% of the current judges have been on the bench less than three years. On March 19, newly appointed judges feverishly cheered during an Erdogan speech, generating strong doubts about the possibility of their independence.
The judicial system in Turkey, as Erdogan rightly put it March 6, makes people pray for justice from a higher authority. Yet, given that Erdogan and his party have been ruling Turkey for 17 years, shouldn't Erdogan be content by now with the existing system? In other words, does Erdogan uphold his own rules? To put it in perspective, when Turkey's highest court approved the release of two journalists in February 2016, it was Erdogan who said, “I don't respect the decision of the Constitutional Court."
And it's not just Erdogan’s words. Some judicial decisions are quite controversial and their legal justifications are murky, to say the least. For example, in mid-February, news broke that gendarmerie and police special forces would be joining the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and Free Syrian Army fighting in Afrin. In early March, both Turkish and international news outlets were busy analyzing the reasons for the deployments. They focused on the military stages of war, particularly the possibility of urban warfare.
Yet the legal justification of their deployment is unclear. Al-Monitor asked legal experts, constitutional law scholars and political activists, who shared their assessments.
First, the gendarmerie and police special forces, as well as volunteer village guards, were all formed for domestic security. All three formations regularly operated under the Interior Ministry, but were transferred to the TSK's control for the Afrin offensive.
But how can these forces be deployed to a foreign land without any formal agreements?
Constitutional scholars, none of whom were willing to talk on the record, told Al-Monitor they could see no legal justification for the deployment. Only a few critical media networkswere able to question this troubled legal situation on TV.
Ayhan Bilgen, spokesperson for the opposition People’s Democratic Party (HDP), agreed that the deployment of gendarmerie and police to foreign countries requires special legal arrangements. "This operation entails serious risks for both Turkish and international law," he told Al-Monitor. Though the action might not be receiving much attention today because of the war, it might become an issue later, he added.
Meral Danis Bestas, a lawyer and HDP lawmaker, was clear in her reply to Al-Monitor: "There is no legal explanation of how [the special forces] can be deployed abroad.” She added, “Their transfer from one town to another [even] domestically requires special permission." The village guards' deployment abroad also lacks precedence.
A constitutional law professor told Al-Monitor: “There are so many new rules and regulations [imposed] as emergency decrees, with several loopholes, that it's become a horrible patchwork that no one can keep track of." The move transferring the gendarmerie to the TSK is legitimate, "but I know of no regulation [permitting] their deployment abroad, or any rules of engagement. Let’s hope there are some laws and the government will inform us.”
However, if we were to assume there are no legal justifications for such deployment, how should we read the current situation? The scholar said, “Indeed, my talks with AKP members suggest that these forces have no official identity out of the borders of Turkey. Now here, either Erdogan has forgotten the existing laws, which have been revised multiple times, or he simply doesn't care about legal ramifications." Another issue being openly questioned in Ankara is the legitimacy of Turkish administrative units, such as banking and postal services, in Syrian cities like Jarablus.
So, it seems that even with an emergency decree, Erdogan's increasing hold on power and the AKP being in charge for 17 years, there's no guarantee laws will be upheld. To the contrary, authoritarian systems are prone to breaching their own laws, even the ones they designed, simply because they can do so with little to no oversight or accountability. In times of crisis, such as war, and with a prolonged emergency law, there are no holds barred.
That's why in Turkish news we read Onion-likeheadlines about a piano being taken into custody or mules being released on probation under barn arrest. So it appears Erdogan is right after all: Most people in Turkey have no other option but to open their hands to the heavens and pray for a miracle in the justice system.

WILL BERNIE TALK ABOUT THIS?
As RedState’s regular readers are aware, LA County’s new District Attorney, George Gascon, issued a number of Special Directives on his first day in office in December 2020 including an end to cash bail, a blanket prohibition on charging enhancements (such as gun, gang, multiple victims, committing a crime while on bail) and strikes, and an end to charging any – any – juvenile as an adult.
Predictably, the latest crime statistics reported by the Los Angeles Police Department show a massive increase in homicides, shootings, and gang violence when compared to the same time period in January 2020 – as in three-digit increases. Murders are up 136.4% and shootings are up 261.5%, while aggravated assaults are up 17.5% and motor vehicle thefts are up 17.6%.

THEY'RE HIFING WHAT'S STARTED ALREADY........
On April 30, U.S. Steel said that after months of tug of war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it was canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to the decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was "blindsided by the news."
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, was simply devastated. "It is heartbreaking," said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost, as well as countless supporting jobs that would have facilitated the buildout.

@Theo-si7jz First of all, get off the weed. NO ONE has propose cutting social security, and if they did, it would be political suicide. This is a worn out political scare tactic used by Democrats for fifty years. Now, the public has listened to Bernie and his Bolshevik plans. They listened to Trump and HIS promises and plans, and they REJECTED BERNIE Got that? It's people that get in the voting booth, not The banks, corporations, Wall Street, evil greedy elite, and any other make believe enemies that the Bernie campaign blames their failure on. The American people REJECT free Healthcare, open borders, free college, and destruction of the oil economy. Got that? Bernie got his message out TWICE NOW, and was rejected by THE DEMOCRATS and those young puppets that FAILED to show up and vote. November is coming and with it. A, TIDAL WAVE of TRUMP SUPPORTERS. We'll show you what policies the people ACTUALLY support, and not what Bolshevik Bernie tells you, along with Beaurocrat Brain damaged Biden.. https://youtu.be/VdvIOe0FB3c

@CovidVirgin Uhh. nice try. Unfortunately, your logic is flawed. Inflation measures a WIDE RANGE of services and goods that the senior citizen do not require. Inflation is running at two percent, and was during Bidens speech. Two percent of the average $1000 check, is $20. A senior citizen might only experience a half of one percent AT MOST. That amounts to five dollars less!! However, don't forget... A FREEZE is not permanent, and when the new budget comes out in the following year, the benefit levels are adjusted to reflect the new cost of living. HARDLY a reason to vote for an economy wrecking Bolshevik, instead of Brain damaged Biden. Now, if THATS not enough to convince you, Biden saw the run away threat of a massive government debt, as being much much worse than a five dollar loss of benefits. The Democrats had ALREADY screwed the old people by (get this) redefining their definition of INFLATION, screwing social security recipients out of HONEST AND FAIR RAISES.

@icecreamcowboyz9466 Well, there you are! Just as I've said. YOU'RE GIVING MONEY TO JEFF BEZOS!! You're the two faced fraud that talks about donating to billionaires, and that's EXACTLY what you are doing. Now, just because your entire life has been a failure, you are a, sad sack loser that can't compete in a high tech, high skills economy, and you're looking for a savior to rescue your pathetic life. Like all Bolsheviks, they put the blame on someone else. The rich, the banks, Wall Street, the "elite", the government, ANYBODY but yourself. You're busy trying to save the planet, when you can't save yourself. Trying to change our economy, while you have lint in your pockets. Your Moses is a near 80 old Jew, that never held a real job in his life, that lived off the public taxpayer, while bitching about the country that made HIM a millionaire, and enriching his family along the way. I don't know who the people you meet are, but you need to upgrade your social register.

@digitalstreamer3498 Look, instead of just blurring out SCHTOOPID talking points, rooted in propoganda, why not just this once, try using your brain. How could the American public POSSIBLY be in support of Bernie Sanders economic "revolution", when he gets a SECOND PLACE, to brain damaged Biden? Does that sound logical even to a ten year old? HIS OWN RABID SUPPORTERS never even showed up at the, polls, to support him with their vote! If and its a BIG IF that 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, then why are auto sales, home sales, retail sales, wage growth, and employment, going through the roof!! Why do the poorest of the poor in the USA live better than TWO THIRDS OF THE WORLD? If life is soooo difficult for the poor, then why do MILLIONS come here every year? Does these paycheck to paycheck people have cars, apartments, cellphones, televisions, game machines, and money for legal marijuana? The CRUISE industry is building MEGA SHIPS to meet the demand of all of those starving people that Bolshevik Bernie needs to help!! Is any of this making sense to you? That Bernie is a fraud and a con artist? That old people KNOW BETTER than to buy his snake oil, but poorly educated, inexperienced young snowflakes, gobble up his FREE, FREE, FREE, plans for the USA?? The old fart got NOTHING DONE in 35 looooooooooong years in Congress except sign his name on to legislation amendments, to drive up their costs and regulations. He's a champion of blacks that give him NO SUPPORT!! They support Uncle Joe!! LESS THAN ONE PERCENT IS HOMELESS. THAT'S A FACT. TRUMP is the only answer. True in 2016 and true in 2020. Bernie is finished. it's all over.

@rpool5874 Hillarious how the Trump haters are just ABSOLUTELY convinced that there is NO WAY that they can be wrong. You're concentrating on such STUPID shit. His suntan, what he says, his statements on a bus. Such goofy shit, to be discussed and laughed over by such small minds. You miss the POLICY. You ducks never had a business. You don't understand excess regulation, high taxes, illegals that work 15 hour days for $100. This orange clown is A FN MIRACLE. You don't see how China has been turning this country into a banana republic, and these other Presidents just looked the other way. OWNED by business, but were screwing the working man. Trump is trying to change all that. We have an unarmed invasion of our country, and Democrats are worried about a FN wall. Stupid shit. They WANT millions of poor. Millions of new illegals, flooding our schools, hospitals, and jails, They're taking over your country. And the Trump haters are too dumb to see it. Travel overseas. Look at the shithole countries. You live here like a king. Youre just too FN stupid to realize it. You dumb asses are gonna get change alright. BIG CHANGE. And it's gonna be too late by the time you realize what you've done. Wait until you see what's coming. You think Venezuela can't happen here huh? Just watch.

@fernandezemail1465 You're the poster boy for a typical Bernie slug. First of all, Bezos doesn't pay INCOME TAX because he's a billionaire. DUH.. He pay a HUNDRED OTHER TAXES which young ignorant stooges never heard of!! Never DREAMED existed, In fact his TENS OF THOUSANDS of employees are paying tax from WHERE? A salary provided by BEZOS! In addition he also pays HIS SHARE of THEIR social security tax, health plan, vacation time, sick pay, insurance, property tax, corporate tax and on and on and on. Second... I'll bet Bernie doesn't tell you about the "givers pledge" does he? That's where hundreds of Billionaires are GIVING THEIR MONEY AWAY when they die. Bernie keeps quiet. Did you hear that TENS OF THOUSANDS of jobs?? How many paychecks does Bernie create? ZERO. Every Bezos job creates OTHER JOBS TOO. But, Bernie wants that money. HE WANTS TO CONTROL THE "WEALTH" to buy your vote, by giving it to people that, like him, create NOTHING. ALL to buy your vote. Like Maduro in Venezuela.. HE "fights for the poor too"... HE'S THE REASON THEY'RE POOR!! And Bernie wants to bring that brand of phony Socialism HERE. Bernie IS THE TOP ONE PERCENT!! https://www.financialsamurai.com/bernie-sanders-net-worth-is-extremely-high-for-a-democratic-socialist/

@fernandezemail1465 His "plan"??? That's all he's good for.. plans. Be honest with yourself. The country got to hear him in the Democratic Primary and he was soundly REJECTED by the DEMOCRATS!! No, they pick who? Joe "I have Alzheimers" Biden instead! Why do you think that is?? Did Joe have a lot of zealous crazies as HIS supporters? Did Joe have lots of good plans? No, it's because the PARTY that desperately wants to win back power, knows better than anyone, that Bernie is a LOSING proposition. CAN'T WIN. Not even with Democrats, let alone Republicans. But, YOU know better than them right? YOU know about all his plans, correct? We're just all UNINFORMED... We just don't UNDERSTAND.. We just can't SEE that Bernie is the one fighting for US. right? MILLIONS of us, just too stupid to get it. That's what you think huh? Bernie will save the planet. Feed the hungry, clothe the poor, end all military spending, free college, free health care, pay off student loans, insure that every woman will be able to exterminate their mistake and have it destroyed like a piece of trash. Make those greeeedy rich pay what's "only fair".. but, we just can't see it. But you do. Investigations?

@fernandezemail1465 Well, let's see. "nobody trusted him in the primaries".. Uhhh apparently, millions of VOTERS SURELY TRUSTED HIM. I can't say the same about Bernie!! Then, you say that they were "rigged" against him? Do, democrats rig an election so they can lose? Is that what you are saying? They rig their own primary so that their BEST candidate loses?
Ohh. and then you said "only people donate to him and not Billionaires". Oh so what you are saying is that people who have made countless decisions, worked hard, invested, and became billionaires, are confused, ignorant, greedy, and heartless, but Bernie Sanders supporters are smart? Smarter than the Democrat Party, smarter than Unions, smarter than African Americans, and Latinos. Because none of these support Bernie. Finally, Biden doesn't have Alzheimers? Bahahahaha. Look up Joe Biden gaffes. You have to be kidding!! They're doing a remarkable job of keeping him from answering questions, and providing a teleprompter for anything over one sentence. Are you afraid of facts?

@fernandezemail1465 Are you awake or in a coma? I said.. do you ever research these claims? HERE ARE THE "FACTS"... Your claim about the Koch Bros are all estimates, approximations, and speculations, which Bernie boobs take and run with. Trump reduced corporate tax. THAT'S FOR ALL CORPORATIONS, not just Koch bros. A tax deduction is not a credit and certainly not a HANDOUT to people that pay NO INCOME TAX now!! Now, if Bernie REALLY wanted 2000 for everyone, he'd have opposed THE LAST BILL that was loaded with pork that DEMOCRATS put in it. Now that Republicans have said.. OK, we'll give you 2000 but, we want OUR LIST of wishes.. Suddenly Democrats don't want to vote on THAT BILL!! Now, just for a minute, pretend you are a billionaire. Would you want one extra dime to go to the government that is now, and has been a cesspool of fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayers funds? Would you? No, you would hire the best accountant you could to pay the MINIMUM required by law. Why don't you Bernie supporters ever bring up Billionaire GEORGE SOROS?? Why not Steve Jobs when he was alive? Mark Cuban? Elon Musk? The Google Boys? Why not THOSE billionaires? Because THEY contribute to the Bernie causes. Why would you want to CONTINUE to tax the life out of these people so they move to other more tax friendly countries? You're forcing them out of California and New York.. How is that working for you? Google "millionaires leaving New York".. Bernie wants them GONE from the USA, if he had his way. HERE'S why they attack Koch.... https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/41077/000119312505225697/dex993.htm

@fernandezemail1465 I like to let the hard working American people worry about themselves. We spent Trillions on the "war on poverty" since the forties and no one would argue that we're winning!! Now, you just had a billionaire that was our President that gave us the BEST ECONOMY and BEST JOBS NUMBERS across all genders and races, and after four years of unrelenting attacks by a fake Russian collusion hoax, and how did they reward him? On the other hand you have Bernie thst has never created a job in his life, only talks about taxing people more, taxing companies more, taxing, taxing, taxing. We want a HAND UP not a HAND OUT. The entire world has reduced poverty over the last twenty years from CAPITALISM and not SOCIALISM. Bernie only works to weaken our defences, weaken our economic system, weaken our employment opportunities, and hurts the poor the most through his green revolution and climate change nonsense. NOW IF YOU ONLY READ ONE THING... Read the list of contributors to "small donor" Bernie. Don't change the subject.. just look at who donates to him.... https://www.opensecrets.org/2020-presidential-race/bernie-sanders/contributors?id=N00000528

@fernandezemail1465 Yes, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying projections based on hypothesis ARE a HOAX. You must make projections based on observations of prior observations. Got that? If that projection turns out to be inaccurate, then you are missing one or more elements of your observation. That's basic! Now... computer models have been WILDELY inaccurate. Don't believe it? Go back and watch an inconvenient truth. If his "scientific projections were even in the right ballpark, we'd be under water by now!! Science isn't based on consensus. It's based on the scientific method. THEN when observation proves your hypothesis to be unneringly correct, then it's no longer a theory. But, scientific fact. There's been MANY of these scare tactics used in the past. They are foisted on the public in order to affect social change. In other words, WE KNOW BETTER THAN YOU. Government control and manipulation of the people are the end game. That's why they try so hard to have gun control. People in countries like Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, and others can oppress the people because they have no power without weapons. That's why it's in the Constitution.. they KNEW what oppression looks like and how it begins. If they REALLY cared about lives, why not start in Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, and other crime infested swamps? But, they want to take your weapon! I can hear it now... no.... bod.... ee..... wants to take your weapon!! They didn't want to take your gold... they did... your land... they did... your freedom to assemble... they just did. It all starts this way....... https://youtu.be/zbLUhj5HCr0
IS THIS A HOAX OR NOT??

@cbsctomh I don't think you know ANYTHING about federal taxes, much less exactly what was reduced, and the difference it will mean to you. The poor got zip. Why? Because they don't pay anything now! The middle class got thousands of dollars in reduced taxes, and those with children get even more. The "wealthy" living in mega-priced homes in blue (high tax) states get screwed since they can't deduct. Tell you what.. Go down to your employer and ask them about YOUR reductions in taxes. Stop listening to the leftists. Here's their bullshit in a nutshell. Let say taxes was reduced by ten percent. So if you paid 7 grand, you get 700 more. Now, here's "the wealthy". They pay 200 grand and get 2000 back. Now the leftist loser, misfit, Socialists, say hey! cbsctomh, look! The wealthy are getting all the money! You're getting screwed. Now, does that make any sense? Now do yourself a favor and Google WHO PAYS THE MOST in taxes. You'll see that the rich pay 70% of all taxes collected. When you're done with that... Read this.... https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/middle-class-tax-cuts-democrats-rhetoric/

@richierifle2990 Bernie "most small donors" is a FRAUD.. WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day.
By the end of June, Mrs. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders, making her the most frequent contributor to any presidential campaign this year.
Mrs. Peloza is a standout example of a new trend in political fundraising. Instead of writing one large check to their preferred candidate, some donors are throwing them a few bucks dozens, or even hundreds, of times. Some repeat donors eventually pile up small contributions totaling $2,800, the legal maximum for a federal election.

Nehemiah Scudder You're listening to the Chinese mouthpiece. That's fine if you trust them more than ten to fifteen worldwide news outlets. I don't. Brazil doesn't supply enough beans, and not at the right time. The EU just agreed to buy more, and like I said, we can grind them for storage, AND just switch crops! Our farmers are the best in the world! They can grow Sorghum, Corn, and other crops next year. Let the Chinese pay 100 million plus more for their beans. And you say lower than the "price + Tarrifs"??? They're the ones putting the tariff on.. Not us! We're putting it on their steel and aluminum, and other items in the last round. Look. Here's what's happening.. Let's say I buy $100 from you.. But, you only buy $40 from me. Now, if I "tax" your $100 guess what? YOU run out of gunpowder at $40!!! How do we lose? We can't. Now the Chinese don't want to be seen as buckling to the Americans, but THEY WILL, or face tremendous pain. Like I said. Look at their stock market. Then look at ours. Let me know who's worried.

I didn't like oba-mao, but hey! He's our president, let's get behind him... Well.... He was a NIGHTMARE for the country. His "one world" view, really screwed the United States. This prick at his heart, hated big business, Capitalism, Christians, police, and American exceptionalism. I'm so glad this black plague has passed. We need to flush ALL OF HIS SUPPORTERS OUT OF GOVERNMENT. Some are even RINO'S, don't let them fool you. McCain is one prick that has to go. Trump is not perfect, but at his heart, he's trying to fight for the American people and workers. Get off your ass. Get to the polls and vote Republican. Trump 2020 and Republicans this November.

@youthgamngpatnerz3300 I don't have issues with his supporters. After all, that's what the USA is all about, being able to choose what political candidate/viewpoint that you can connect with. My problem with Bernie is that he promotes failed policies. Have you ever seen him in a debate with, let's say Ted Cruz, or Dinesh Dsouza? He only takes debates with other leftists like himself. His "Sweden" Healthcare drumbeat is a total cloaking of the facts, which his supporters refuse to investigate. I want them to spend 1/10 the time listening to Bernie into "opposition" points of view. They will be stunned, instead all you get from them is "oh John Stossel" and "oh Fox News" Their typical attack the messenger (unless it's Bernie) approach to truth finding. Time and time again, when Bernies approach has been tested, his claims investigated, his background scrutinized, he flounders and fails. THAT'S why the Democrats destroyed his campaign in 2016 and again in 2020, preferring to absorb his starry eyed voters into a safer (?) candidate that they could control. If the establishment and its hate could be measured by its venom for someone it feels threatened by, then look no further than Trump (read that again)

@youthgamngpatnerz3300 Look. Going to college is a risk/reward bet. Some go and make gobs of money, and others study basket weaving and get a PHD, with $90,000 in debt. Do you hear much moaning from those making 50k the rest of their lives? The basketeers want someone ELSE to pay for THEIR loan? If I do a risk/reward like starting a business and do a belly flop, will Bernie advocate for paying THAT loan off too? We have plumbers, electricians, HVAC people making gobs of money with two year educations!! Why is Bernie stumping for those that studied comic book history, urban planning, art history, languages of Africa, and other nonsense majors? Could it be that he wants their vote? Their donations? I ask his supporters FIFTY TIMES a simple question. Tell me what charity BERNIE DONATES TO? Give me a name. He's a friend of the planet right? Maybe Greenpeace? A civil rights champion right? Maybe the NAACP? The poor? The hungry? So he donates to the food bank? NO! None of the above. NONE. Just speeches. Decades of "fighting for the working man" yet curiously the Unions don't support him??? Why? Uhhh. they just don't understand? They just don't know about Bernie??? Are you missing something here??

@youthgamngpatnerz3300 How many more "rights" does he have planned? Right to a house? (public housing has been a calamity) Right to free college? (high school ratings are dismal compared worldwide) Right to free Healthcare? (with long lines, and substandard treatment?) Maybe it's a human right to have transportation? (forget bus passes, we demand cars) Food? (been there) How about, let's just give them a paycheck for doing nothing? (haven't some politicians proposed that?) Pretty soon. we can have demonstrations that those free paychecks just aren't enough! Hey! vote for Bernie!! Election campaigns? Bernie is a MILLIONAIRE, how much is HE donating to his election campaign? Three homes, does he donate to the homeless shelter? Those on the bottom have be served by a war! WHAAAT? That's right! It's called the "war on poverty" and WE LOST that war, despite Trillions in spending. But, Bernie wants MORE ammunition to fight the same losing battle. JOBS are the cure, not checks, not new programs that drop cash down a dark hole of administrative costs. JOBS that Trump just provided record numbers, yet he was fired! By Bernie voters!! Soon the $1400 will run out, and they'll begin crying again. Hooray for Bernie! He's the best! More speeches Bern! Marijuana sales for blacks! That'll create jobs, right? Paycheck to stay home!! It's a RIGHT!! That a boy Bern.

At least 137,500 absentee ballots were cast through unlawful vote trafficking throughout several of Wisconsin’s largest cities in the 2020 election, according to research presented last week to the state Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections by the public interest organization True the Vote (TTV).
Ballot trafficking is an activity in which absentee ballots and votes are solicited, sometimes in exchange for money or other valuables. They are then collected through a process called “harvesting” and delivered to drop boxes by intermediaries (someone other than the voter), who are often paid a per-ballot fee by partisan actors.
“An organized crime against Americans” is how TTV cyber expert Gregg Phillips described to the committee what happened in Wisconsin and elsewhere during the 2020 election.
Based on his 15-month study of election practices in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Michigan, Phillips estimates that at least 4.8 million votes were trafficked nationally.
According to the True the Vote report, 242 intermediaries in metro Atlanta made 5,668 stops at drop boxes during elections in late 2020. In its report, TTV said it obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance tape that helped to document its Georgia findings.
The study found that in Arizona, 202 intermediaries made 4,282 separate visits to ballot boxes in Maricopa County.
Several Arizonans have since been indicted for election law violations, with at least one conviction, according to Phillips.

Mike No, as I said.. I'm Italian. But, I don't give a shit WHO is in charge, as long as they are THE BEST, AND MOST COMPETENT for the job. Whether that a Christian, Hindu, Atheist, or Jew. But, as I've ALSO said, the Jews were and still remain at the VERY TOP of the class. Go to engineering schools, and you'll find Asians blowing away us white people. They're not there because of affirmative action, they're there because of BRAINS. And I'm fine with that. I want the BEST engineers for the USA. If that also means smart Jews in banking and finance, then so be it.

@eggselent9814 You are a very confused person. If I save and take a risk to create a business, how do I benefit by low wages? Won't my workers leave for higher pay elsewhere? So, if my entire life saving is at risk, and I work 15 hour days to become a success, then you feel that you, with little skill, little education, no investment, no risk, free to walk out the door.. should make what? $15? Why not $20? How about $50? So, if Biden has his way, and a million MORE poor hungry, low skilled, people pour across the border, will they demand fifteen too? Why not? Then a million MORE, and another after that. The middle class are where they are because they save, work two jobs, put their children through college, but you feel that we don't need all that. Just GIVE them more money. The poor are uneducated, lazy, drinkers and dopers, and will be penny less AGAIN no matter how much you give them. Germans are culturally HARD WORKING PEOPLE. Germans in this country are middle class and higher! It's not the wage that made them a success. It's the work ethics. Poor people don't have those same work ethics. Think about it.. if you can't get ahead HERE, then tell me which country gives you a better opportunity? This is the land of "opportunity" not success. Being poor is MUCH, MUCH more than just not having money. Give them money... they will be poor again.

@tomneo2004 Yes, I can see you thinking that way since the media fills you with that notion everyday. So let me ask you.... since you think there is no good news, then there must be nothing good going on? Think about that. There's hundreds of thousands of people working under the table. Prices are falling, people are loaded with cash, Travel is ready to burst through the seams. Of course you have Democrat controlled cities about to collapse because of their foolish socialist failures, Of course we have wealth inequality when we have useless universities, and clueless students. But, I'm here in middle America and despite the pandemic, we're booming! They can't find enough workers. Rents are cheap! Utilities are very reasonable, There are bike trails, lakes for rowing, great night life, and ohhhh. I have to admit, there's Uhhh not a WHOLE LOT of diversity, crime, gay marches, protests, or Anti-fa. People make loans, pay them back, go to church on Sunday, take their kids to the movies or the park on weekends. We figure we're winning the game already. What do you have? China fears Taiwan and Japan, let alone the world's only super power, the USA. They know it is suicide to challenge the American military https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2021/04/07/myanmar-protesters-set-another-chinese-owned-factory-fire-burn-chinese-flags/

See if you can find the word "Clinton" in the paragraphs below..
Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners' rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization ("M19CO"), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years' imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

@johnnybronco9118 It's not only in front of liquor stores. Blacks themselves are in danger ANYWHERE in black neighborhoods. Teachers that teach in black neighborhoods are in danger. I was tasked in the 70's with plotting on a map, the incidents of violence that came from various neighborhoods in a large eastern city. An unbelievable 80% plus came from two areas across millions of homes. I'll let you guess who lived in those areas. Grandpa getting kicked down the steps, infants getting strangled, knife wounds, shootings, mugging, batteries, and violence in all it's forms. No one living there were immune. They were literally violent jungles. Very few of these incidents are reported in the media. It's like if a tiger kills in your front yard, it's front page news, but if it occurs in the jungle? Yawn. Vigilantes are never a good idea, and making them heroes is ridiculous. You can't run a business in these places. If the locust doesn't ruin you, the tiger will.

hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.
A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.
A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.
A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.
While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.
From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting.

@AmandaBlondie007 OK, let me answer your questions one at a time. First of all, the USA is the "land of opportunity", not the land of success. If giving money to the poor, would solve poverty then it would have been solved long, long ago. Never mind that public housing, (housing projects) public schools, and public health (VA hospitals) have all been a catastrophic failures, but why would anyone want to out MORE money into the hands of a government that is rife with waste, fraud, and abuse of what they get now? They have run up a 23 TRILLION dollar deficit, and letting them tax ANYONE clearly is not the solution. JOBS are the solution. The solution to broken families, bulging prisons, and our drug problems, along with homelessness, and a variety of other societal problems. Now, seeing how the top 1% pay forty percent of all income tax collected, and the top 10% pay SEVENTY percent, it should be clear to any rational person that taxing them MORE is not the solution. I wouldn't hire a handyman based on promises, let alone a President to run our country. Bernie has ZERO experience at running ANY business. ZERO record of creating ANY jobs. ZERO legislation that he's created alone in solving any problems. He's great at attaching his name to already authored bills. Few of which went anywhere. Now, if you need SPECIFIC proof of anything I've said... Tell me what you need to see. I'll be happy to do your work for you, and provide you the links.

@Felixthecatfan21 Yes, I am "triggered".. Leftists are "activists" while we are triggered? No, there's too much at stake. We're not going to have another Caucescue in this country, like Romania. A fraudster, faker, and propogandist, like Bolshevik Bernie. I vote, I donate, I speak out, I March, and I join in every resistance to this communist masquerading as a social Democrat, that fools poorly educated, and intellectually shallow young puppets.

Al Clark 22 COMMENTS
TAGS HealthInterventionism
07/10/2013Klaus Bernpaintner
As a Swede currently living in the United States, with actual experience of Swedencare, I must reply to the delusions propagated by professor Robert H. Frank in his June 15 article in the New York Times, titled “What Sweden Can Teach Us About Obamacare.”
It is surprising to read something so out of line with basic economic theory from an economics professor. But theory aside, it would have sufficed for professor Frank to have taken a field trip down to the nearest public emergency room to have his illusions irreparably shattered. The reality is that Swedish healthcare is the perfect illustration of the tragedy of central planning. It is expensive and — even worse — it kills innocent people.
Free universal healthcare came about in the 50s as part of the Social Democratic project to create the “People’s Home” (Folkhemmet). This grand effort also included free education on all levels, modern housing for the poor, mandatory government pension plans and more. Let us grant benefit of the doubt and assume that some of its proponents had good intentions; as so often, these intentions paved the road to a hellish destination.
It has taken awhile, but it is now becoming obvious even to the man on the street that every aspect of this project has been a disaster. He may not be able to connect the dots, but he can see that the system is definitely not working as advertised, and it is rapidly deteriorating.
Before the utopian project got under way, Sweden had some of the absolute lowest taxes in the civilized world and, not surprisingly, was ranked at the top in terms of standard of living. The project changed Sweden into a country with the second highest tax rate in the world (Denmark is higher), periods of rampant inflation, and a steadily deteriorating economy.
There is nothing economically mysterious about health care — it is just another service. Like any other it can be plentifully provided on a free market at affordable prices and constantly improving quality. But like everything else, it breaks down when the central planners get their hands on it, which they now have. To claim that the problems are due to a “market failure” in health care is like saying that there was a market failure in Soviet bread production.
Let us look at what happened when health care was provided for free by the Swedish government (i.e., taxpayers). Note that the same economic principles and incentives apply to any service that the government decides to take over and provide for free. The same principles will apply to Obamacare, with some slight variations.
First it was understood in Sweden that free healthcare was only for the poor. It would not affect those who were happy with their existing provider. But when government suddenly offers a free alternative, many will leave their private practitioner in favor of the free goods. The public system will have to be expanded, while the private doctors will lose patients. The private doctors are then forced to either take employment within the public system or leave the profession. The result is one single public healthcare monolith. Can one find economies of scale within its operations, as professor Frank claims? Maybe. But if they exist, they will be dwarfed by the costs and inefficiencies of the bureaucracy that inevitably grows to manage the system.
These results are clearly visible in Sweden. There are very few private practices left. Of the few that are left, most are part of the national insurance system. A huge bureaucracy has been erected to take on all the necessary central planning of public and pseudo-private healthcare.
When Swedes go to the polls every four years, they vote on three levels of government: national, landsting, and kommun. A landsting is a regional mid-level type of government and there are 20 of them. The landstings are almost entirely devoted to managing public healthcare. They are always short on funding and regularly make losses.
The advantage of a free market system, as I am sure the venerable professor Frank knows, is that supply and demand meet to form prices. These prices are signals to the practitioners and tell them what their patients need and value most. If there were a sudden surge in demand for open-heart surgery, the price of that service would, ceteris paribus, rise. The practitioners would be motivated by the rising price to move into fields where they can make higher profits. More doctors would move to provide open-heart surgery, the capacity for open-heart surgery would increase, the increased demand satisfied and the price would drop again. Some people protest and think that it is immoral for doctors to maximize profit and live well on other people’s medical problems. But why is it any more immoral than farmers profiting from peoples’ hunger?
Thus, free-market systems systematically allocate capacity (“supply”) and reallocate it quickly to satisfy patients’ needs (“demand”). Due to competition it has the added advantage of always striving for lower prices and higher quality. This principle is as true for medical services as it is for cell phones or gardening services.
The bureaucracy of a public healthcare system cannot use market prices to allocate resources. It must use some other means. First it will try to plan according to estimated demand. It will try to guess the number of bone fractures, open-heart surgeries and kidney transplants in the coming year. The estimates will invariably be wrong, causing shortages in some places and overcapacity in others — at the same — which translates into human suffering and economic waste.
Without the profit motive, there is no incentive to adapt to reality, to utilize expensive equipment to the optimum capacity, to improve the level of service, or treat patients with dignity. All change will have to be pushed down from the planners above by decree. Doctors and nurses will be frustrated because they are not free to exercise their art to the best of their ability and help people as much as they would like to. Many of the best leave for other fields.
It is impossible to put a number on it, but it is obvious that the level of energy in the medical professions in Sweden is low compared to America. It can be seen on several levels, from doctors and even down to students. An American medical student and friend of mine spent a year at a major Swedish hospital. He was shocked when he realized that students never spent any of their spare time in the operating room; there was no drive to become the best. There are of course enthusiasts who love their work regardless, and do a fantastic job, but the system is not conducive to this attitude.
Planning always fails. The planners come to realize that the market is superior but they will not back off. Rather they will try to mimic a market, using trendy techniques such as “New Public Management,” voucher systems, or healthcare exchanges. The results of these solutions are usually even more disastrous than outright planning. In order to work, they will have to reduce every medical condition to a code, every patient to an ID number, and every procedure to planned (arbitrary) cost and income numbers.
It was recently revealed in one of the major newspapers that doctors were told to prioritize patients based on their value as future taxpayers. Old people naturally have a low future-taxpayer-value, so they naturally became low priority in the machine and less likely to receive proper treatment. In a private healthcare system you can make your own priorities, you can for example sell your house and spend the proceeds on becoming well. In a socialized system somebody else sets the priorities.

Henry Jamison Got my ass kicked? Barahahaha.. With what? The same old talking points, lies, and bullshit that Bernies leftists spout? Look dummy. Think, using your OWN brain for once in your life. Two questions for you. See if you can answer without subterfuge and beating around the bush.. 1) Tell me WHAT function that is taken over by government that is superior to the private market? Name me ONE. 2) Explain to me WHY the Veterans hospital system is ANY DIFFERENT than what single payer government run Healthcare would be, and why IT won't be a disaster like the Veterans hospital system is.. Between those two questions, your ENTIRE BULLSHIT CRUMBLES. Just like public schools DISASTER, public transportation, DISASTER, public housing, DISASTER, public welfare system, DISASTER, public debt, DISASTER, and anything else government run IS A DISASTER. And you want the government to run the Healthcare system??? Barahahaha. What a schmuck! Now that's what I call getting your ass handed to you!

Al Clark the Canadian system relies on long-waiting times to curb demand. Unfortunately, the people at the head of the queue are not always those who have the greatest need for treatment.
Even prices that cover a fraction of full costs can help to tamp down on the demand. But, sadly, no one in a single-payer system has any idea of how these prices should be set.
Hence, government’s duty to take all comers at a zero price means it cannot re-price efficiently to respond to shifts in supply and demand as is routinely done in airlines, hotels, and leasing in ways that eliminate the queues from price controls.
Regrettably, the standard defenses of single-payer assume that every technique that works in ordinary product markets will fail with health care. Indeed, this tunnel vision led to the market breakdowns that paved the way for the 2010 adoption of the ACA.
Part of the reason the United States has the highest health costs of any nation is because of the added costs of onerous government regulation. Illinois, for example, lists 18 pages of required benefits for private insurance plans that covers everything from alcoholism to infertility, all at government-mandated levels, with high compliance costs added in.
Ironically, in contrast, the Canadian single-payer system offers at most limited coverage for mental care, dental care, eye care, prescription drugs, and a whole lot more.
And no nation commits as much money for the treatment of end-state-renal disease through dialysis as does the United States—$42 billion per year, of which $34 billion is covered through Medicare.
At this point, the proper path of reform has to move away from single-payer and towards market liberalization, which would lower costs by removing these mandates, and by opening up insurance markets to interstate competition.
Matters would still get better by removing the state mandates for coverage in private employer plans, which have led many firms to terminate their employee coverage.

Al Clark Clark, you need to seek psychiatric help. Youre seeing conspiracy everywhere. One minute you're telling me about the joys of our public transportation system, and when I point out that it's CRUMBLING (LIKE EVERY OTHER SOCIALIST SCHEME) then you switch to tax cuts for billionaires, campaign finance, and who knows what else in your rambling nonsense. You tell me about the wonderful Canadian healthcare system, and when I show you that IT'S A MESS and that Canadians are coming here for treatment, you start changing the subject again! At the end of the day, know this... Bernie Sanders is a communist that will NEVER be President. NEVER. He's a baby killer supporter. Illegal alien supporter, big government phony that has accomplished next to ZERO in his entire career feeding at the public trough. Jimmy Carter? You're quoting WHO??? Jimmy Carter? The weakest, worst President we've ever had with double digit inflation, unemployment, and a dead economy, and you want to listen to HIM??

Al Clark Yes indeed. The "main cause" is election funding!! Barahahaha.. No, goofy the main cause is the main cause with ALL YOUR SOCIALIST SCHEMES, they don't work! From public schools, to infrastructure, to our bloated VA hospitals. When government gets involved... IT'S A MESS!! From trash collection, to charter schools, to cell phones, ITS A SUCCESS. Simple to understand! No, five paragraphs, no conspiracy theories, no Marxist theory! Simple. Now, take your Bernie bullshit and sell it to California. People and businesses are being driven out of there in droves!

So consider this.. I could pay for a new $10,000 remodeling project, but instead put it on my credit card to earn airline points. WHOOPS! Americans in debt! I could pay off my student loan, but instead have gotten better gains in the stock market. WHOOPS more American debt. I recently found a newer, bigger home, that I could put down 50% on from the sale of my current home, but since rates are so low, chose to leave the excess cash in Gold. WHOOPS. More mortgage debt. I see auto debt rising like crazy, but adjusted for inflation, that car is still about a year to year and a half of my yearly salary. WHOOPS exploding car debt! I can do a cash out refinance of my current house at historic low rates, keep my payment the same, and have thousands to spend on whatever, but WHOOPS there goes that booming American debt meter again! My child is going to college, I can write the checks, but WHY when interest rates are so low and inflation is creeping back. WHOOPS. More student debt. I'm not buying any of this "the sky is falling bullshit"

Ted Cruz...
I’ve seen them, the Donna tent facility [in Texas], with over 4,000 people, with little boys and little girls on top of each other.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, the rate of COVID-19 positivity in the Biden cages was over 22%. And all the Democrats who talked about this—if they don’t go, if they don’t denounce the Biden cages, then they’re telling you that they’re hypocrites, that they didn’t believe it when they said it, that they didn’t care about it when they said it, that it was all politics, it wasn’t about their kids.
Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who’s supposed to be the border czar, she’s supposed to be in charge of this, why won’t she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.
And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say, “Nothing to see here.” Fifteen thousand Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, “Nothing to see here.”
Anyone want to know what Joe Biden’s favorite ice cream flavor is? That’s the news. Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants. Never mind, when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river who died trying to cross illegally.
Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, “I won’t let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm, because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it’s dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.” Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at round tables how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.
You want to understand what’s happening, say there’s no crisis? Come to Brooks County. I invite every Democrat here to Brooks County, Brooks County in South Texas. It’s just north of the border.
Brooks County, over and over and over again, there [are] dead bodies of illegal immigrants. The traffickers who are bringing them in, they’re not nice guys. They’re not humanitarians. They don’t give a damn. That means if one of the illegal immigrants is a pregnant woman, is a young child, is elderly, is sick, they just abandon them. They leave them in the rough terrain, in the summer heat.
And over and over again, the farmers and ranchers encounter dead bodies on their property, where the traffickers have abandoned them. Mr. President, I ask you, is that humane? Is that compassionate, the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris policy that encourages, that puts people in harm’s way, and results in people dying?
When we were down on the border, we saw a young girl who had been gang-raped by the human traffickers who had brought her to America.
The rate of sexual assault is staggering, particularly among the girls and young women, so much so that a significant percentage of young women, before they take the harrowing trip with the traffickers, will implant a birth control because they know the odds of their being sexually assaulted are so great.
And I’ll tell you, as I was doing the round tables, one of the things I saw also was the colored wristbands. The traffickers are global cartels. They’re criminals. They’re vicious criminals. They charge anyone—a young man, a young woman, a little boy, a little girl—thousands of dollars, anywhere from three, four, five, six, seven, eight thousand dollars to cross into the United States.

TDBanimefan This is from FAIR. It addresses my second statement..... Illegal aliens come to the United States to take jobs that offer them greater opportunity, and they are often welcomed by U.S. employers who are able to hire them for wages lower than they would have to pay to hire U.S. workers. This employment is illegal under a law enacted in 1986, but some employers ignore the law and hire illegal workers in the underground economy. Others simply accept fake employment documents and hire the illegal workers as if they were legal. Because there is no requirement to verify documents presented by workers, employers can easily evade compliance.
The illegal alien workers are mostly persons who sneaked into the country — nearly all Mexicans or Central Americans who enter from Mexico. There is also, however, illegal entry across the border with Canada, with apprehensions by the Border Patrol of more than 6,000 aliens in 2010. There is also a significant portion of the illegal alien population that arrives with visas and stays illegally. These ‘overstayers' are estimated variously to between one- third and 40 percent of the illegal alien population.
The defenders of illegal aliens — ethnic advocacy groups, employer groups, and church-based groups — often assert that illegal aliens only take jobs unwanted by U.S. workers. This is patently false because they are working in jobs in which U.S. workers are also employed — whether in construction, agricultural harvesting or service professions.

ChristianMission Exactly! Listen... When I was a kid my dad was a politics junkie. So, I've watched politics all my life. The democrats need an "alarm bell" The have to invent a crisis, or two or three to run on.. "they're going to overturn Roe-Wade".. "They are abusing children", Trump is going to "start a nuclear war" and other nonsense. Trying to energies their puppets.. Meanwhile, here's what you don't hear.... REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS
Nurturing a Small Business Boon
- The Washington Times
“As we mark six months since Mr. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, we continue to see more Americans working,” Administrator Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, writes. “With more money in their pockets, Americans are spending again — and that’s good news for small businesses.”
-------------------------
Supreme Court Rules that President Trump's Travel Ban is Constitutional
- CNBC
The Supreme Court found this week that President Trump’s order on travel restrictions falls “squarely” within his executive authority, Tucker Higgins reports for CNBC. “The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
-------------------------
American Money Flowing Back into America
- Fox Business
“America’s CEOs are not wasting anytime in taking advantage of [President Trump’s] tax reform plan. Over $300 billion was repatriated to the U.S. in the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) — the most on record,” Suzanne O’Halloran writes. “This is why many economists are boosting their GDP forecasts to between 3% and 4%.”
-------------------------
Foxconn Investment is Sign of More to Come
- Journal Times
“The groundbreaking on Foxconn’s $10-billion factory to produce state-of-the-art flat-panel displays in Mount Pleasant represents a milestone for America,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross writes. “It would never have happened without the promise of the Trump tax cuts and the President’s personal intervention.”
-------------------------
Stand Tough on Trade: It’s a Start to Give Support to U.S. Manufacturing
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board writes that President Trump “is forcing a re-examination of America’s trade policies, and making other countries consider the consequences of the trade war they have long waged upon us.” The editors remind readers that “America has been reflexively globalist and anti-protectionist for a long time now, and it has not worked. The Rust Belt has been impoverished.”
-------------------------
President Trump's Approval Rating Rises Among Hispanics
- RealClearPolitics
In RealClearPolitics, Steve Cortes points out that the main driver of President Trump’s growing popularity is “a stunning 10 percent rise in Trump approval among Hispanics.” Cortes explains that “as President Trump pursues policies that drive growth and public safety – such as tax cuts and cracking down on the MS-13 gang – no wonder his popularity rises apace among Latinos.”
-------------------------
Democracy Requires Borders
- Washington Examiner
The Washington Examiner Editorial Board argues that the open border ideology of Democrats and left-wing commentators “is as dangerous as it is unpopular.” The editors paint a stark picture of that policy’s consequencs: “Theoretically, we could give up on borders, as some seem to want. But that would mean giving up on having a democratic society.”
-------------------------
President Trump Will Protect US Farmers from China's Trade Retaliation
- USA Today
“President Donald Trump is standing up to China, which wrongly believes it can bully our farmers to get America to back away from defending our national interests,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue writes in an op-ed for USA Today. “He will not allow U.S. agriculture to bear the brunt of China’s retaliatory tactics.”
-------------------------
The Great Economic Comeback is Greatest for Millennials
- Washington Examiner
“Thanks to a robust economy, historically low unemployment, and the largest tax cut in history, our country is in the midst of a great American comeback, and millennials, perhaps more than any other generation, will reap the fruit of this great economic boon,” Ryan Fournier writes.
-------------------------
Buying American Can Help Keep the Philly Shipyard Afloat
- The Philadelphia Inquirer
“President Trump’s commitment to a 355-ship United States Navy, together with this administration’s ongoing efforts to expand opportunities for United States industry, are creating the conditions for a more vibrant maritime industry and the rejuvenation of great maritime cities such as Philadelphia,” writes Peter Navarro, Director of the White House National Trade Council.
-------------------------
American Natural Gas Is Fueling the World’s Future
- Washington Examiner
Energy Secretary Rick Perry writes that “the United States is now producing enough natural gas and other fuels to be on the verge of energy independence. This positive development is untying the hands of our elected leadership, and enabling it to conduct foreign policy in a way that advances this Nation and its allies’ interests.”

the IRS releases aggregate data on individual income taxes, with a two-year delay. The Tax Foundation helpfully organizes the reports, and in January they released their summary of the data for 2015. We will look at estimates for this year in just a bit.
In 2015, 141.2 million taxpayers reported a total of $10.14 trillion in adjusted gross income (AGI). On this amount, they paid $1.45 trillion in taxes, or 14.3%. That’s our collective average tax rate, in other words. But we know averages can be deceiving, and this one certainly is. Most people paid well below that rate, and a small number paid a great deal more.
We’ll start at the bottom. The lower half of those 141.2 million tax filers had total AGI of $1.145 trillion, or about 11.3% of all income. On this, they paid $41.1 billion in taxes. Their average tax rate was 3.5%, and they paid 2.8% of all taxes.
Note, that’s the lower half of taxpayers – meaning they filed tax returns. There’s a large group below them who didn’t have to file because they had no taxable income. So well over half the population either paid no income tax at all or paid a very low percentage rate.
Jealous? You shouldn’t be. Do the math and you’ll see the average AGI for this bottom half of taxpayers was only $16,211. These are not wealthy people. Literally, housing and food and other basics are critical issues for them. Most were employed in some way for at least part of 2015, since they have income, but they didn’t make much. The system is designed to give them a break on taxes, and it worked.
At the same time, this income inequality has a frustrating consequence: the other half of taxpayers bear almost the entire burden. Note that the top 10% pay 70% of income taxes. The top 50% pay 97%.

Last week, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, and four of his America Last executive branch appointees: Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Matthew Graves.
Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States:
H. Res. 420 Cosponsors:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)
On Thursday, May 18, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced Articles of Impeachment against Joseph Robinette Biden, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately 6 million illegals from over 160 countries to invade our country, deprived border patrol of the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country, and his administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by law.
Biden canceled border wall construction contracts which would have secured our nation’s border, and his Department of Justice then sued Arizona when the state constructed its own border wall using shipping containers. Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities and more than 193 people on the terrorist watchlist have been caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry. He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans per day. His administration has lost complete contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied illegal alien children and his policies have forced tens of thousands of illegal children into slave labor. He has even caused an approximate 1,700% increase in border encounters in just one sector of our Northern border.
Joe Biden has reinstated catastrophic and disastrous catch and release policies, which have allowed illegals to roam our streets and terrorize Americans. He terminated one of the most successful border policies, Remain in Mexico, which not only disincentivized illegals from coming to our country, but it also protected against asylum fraud.
Under Biden's command, the Secretary of Homeland Security has illegally granted mass parole to aliens when U.S. federal law only permits parole to be granted on a specific case-by-case basis.
Biden endangered the lives of Americans by allowing illegal aliens who had tested positive for Covid-19 to enter the country and infect American citizens while requiring Americans be subject to testing before being permitted to return home from traveling abroad.
His policies, directives, and statements surrounding the Southern border have violated our laws and destroyed our country. Biden has blatantly violated his constitutional duty, and he is a direct threat to our national security. Therefore, Joseph Robinette Biden is unfit to serve as President of the United States and must be impeached.

Fox News just notched its 200th consecutive month as the most-watched network in cable news as competitor CNN is down in both primetime and total day ratings.
According to Nielsen Media Research, August was Fox’s consecutive month as the number one cable news network in primetime and total day. FNC averaged 1,299,000 viewers in total day and 2,299,000 viewers in primetime, supremely outpacing both CNN and MSNBC.
Additionally, Fox News experienced a 4 percent increase in primetime viewers. While MSNBC finished second in primetime and total day, they were the only cable news network to experience growth in both categories.
CNN continued to severely struggle with its ratings, experiencing a 12 percent drop in primetime viewers and a massive 15 percent drop in total day. CNN’s primetime viewership reached just 1,052,000.

Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

Democrats are delusional. They try to destroy Trump. They try to ruin Trump. It never works. No matter how hard they try, they can’t beat Trump.
Let me give you a great example. Three Sundays ago, I was busy watching NFL football, when my phone rang. “Are you watching Fox News?” my buddy Lee asked. “Turn it on. It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Go there now!”
Sure enough, Lee was right. I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life. I would not have believed it, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
There was President Trump in a football stadium in Houston, Texas, giving a speech to 50,000 American Indian immigrants (from India). Yes, I said fifty thousand. It was Reliant Stadium, home to the Houston Texans. And it was full — like there was an NFL game going on. Trump is as popular as the NFL on a Sunday morning… with Indian immigrants.
Keep in mind the Democrat presidential frontrunners rarely get more than a hundred to a few hundred fans to show up. Trump routinely gets 10,000 to 20,000. But the press explains it away by saying “it’s a sea of white faces.”
But these weren't white faces. These were 50,000 dark skinned immigrants from India, now proud Americans. And they love Trump. They screamed his name, “Trump, Trump, Trump!” They gave him standing ovations. This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon.
The Prime Minister of India stood on stage arm in arm with Trump, while the crowd cheered Trump’s name. Trump could have run for Prime Minister of India at that moment and won. Amazing.
And no one in the mainstream media reported this once-in-a-lifetime event. Not a word.
Doesn’t the media claim Trump is hated by people of color? Yet here were 50,000 American Indians cheering Trump like he's the “King of Indian Immigrants.”
No politician in U.S. political history has ever achieved something like this. It was like a Billy Graham revival.
More proof of how Trump is changing politics. Forget polls. I speak to Hispanics and blacks every day who love Trump.
Trump’s not losing in 2020. And I believe deep down, Democrats know that. That’s why they are rushing to frame him and impeach him.

@GenZCatholic0523 Yeah, they come in to mop the floors once everyone leaves. Both student groups have made recommendations around increasing diversity among graduate students and faculty, which involve a longer timeline. The BGSA, for example, recommended developing and implementing a 10-year plan to increase the number of underrepresented minority graduate students, in particular black graduate students.
“One thing that stands out to me is that to really increase the number of faculty members of color, we have to increase the number of graduate students of color. In the 2016-17 academic year, for example, only about 1 percent of MIT’s graduate students were black. We’d like to see a very concerted, coordinated effort to recruit graduate students of color,” says Candace Ross, a member and former president of the BGSA

@Neil McCoy-Ward With "15 years of experience" in real estate making him an expert... Uhh I don't think so.
Typically, the rents that landlords charge fall between 0.8% and 1.1% of the home's value. For example, for a home valued at $250,000, a landlord could charge between $2,000 and $2,750 each month. If your home is worth $100,000 or less, it's best to charge rent that's close to 1% of your home's value.
So, if a landlord makes 12,000 or 10,000 after taxes and maintenance, he's getting a ten percent return on his investment. Since two plus two never equals five, that must mean HIS GAIN is the renters loss. That's basic math.. but the TRUTH is that it's not correct since the VALUE of having a roof over your head is ignored in the numbers. Ownership ALWAYS better than renting unless rental costs are FAR BELOW owning costs, or a lifestyle component changes that. You are NOT underwater EVER until the house is sold. If you are there for less than ten years. DONT BUY. Those that were "underwater" in the last housing crisis and bailed out, are now watching those same homes SKYROCKET in value.

HEY JOE.. LET'S HAVE TRUMP BACK WITH THE OBAMA BUILT CAGES
Texas side, Haitians have been joined by Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans under the Del Rio bridge, where migrants say conditions are deteriorating.
“There is urine, feces and we are sleeping next to garbage,” said Venezuelan migrant Michael Vargas, 30, who has been at the camp with his wife and two children for three days.
Vargas said they had been given ticket number 16,000 and authorities were currently processing number 9,800. He said people were being separated into three groups: single men, single women and families.
Jeff Jeune, a 27-year-old Haitian, was among several migrants who said it was taking longer to process families than single adults, leaving young children sleeping on the ground in clobbering 99 degree Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) heat. Jeune said his two sons, ages 1 and 10, had fallen ill with fever and cold-like symptoms.
In two photos sent to Reuters by a migrant at the camp, dozens of adults and children are shown squeezed together under the bridge, some sitting on cardboard or thin blankets spread on the packed dirt. Belongings were stacked in neat piles. There appear to be tents made of reeds and wooden sticks in the background

@tinleyparkmom That's why you're brain damaged. You don't have the mental capacity to understand that the most powerful politicians in the world fought and wanted this man gone, from his very first day. They lied, they cheated, they made false accusations, hoax, and illegal acts in order to have him removed. Why? Because he COULD NOT BE BOUGHT OR CONTROLLED. He worked to give us the best employment, best economy, best action against or enemies, and whatever he failed to do, it was because of the endless lawsuits, obstruction, and manipulation by the Democrats and their ELITE allies in New York, California, and in Washington. 85 million voters examined all of your lies, mistreatment, and propoganda, and chose to vote for TRUMP. But, you continue to make baseless claims even now. That's why Republicans spit on people like you. You are an enemy of a free and fair, and just society. THE ONLY VIDEO you need to watch

Here's the progressive God now.. Bolshevik Bernie.... A watchdog group is accusing Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his 2016 campaign of breaking federal election laws by allowing three foreign nationals to work on the campaign in decision-making positions.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a group that protects the First Amendment and monitors the government for ethics violations, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Friday with its allegations against Sanders.
The complaint says that Erika Andiola, Cesar Vargas, and Maria Belén Sisa were hired for managerial roles on Sanders' 2016 campaign, which led to them illegally influencing the election as foreign nationals. According to the foundation, foreigners are banned from participating in the decision-making process for U.S. political campaigns.
Coolidge Reagan Foundation chairman Shaun McCutcheon said, "Bernie Sanders is obsessed with the 'Russian collusion' and 'foreign interference' narratives, and yet he allows foreign nationals to influence our elections for his personal benefit — in direct violation of the law. It's time for Americans to hold him accountable, and for the FEC to make him 'feel the bern' for breaking the law."

@alexnajera3483 I was saying 7 months ago. I'm saying now. I'll be saying Bolshevik Bernie is TOAST. His run for the White House is finished before it gets started. I don't need a reason. I have FIVE good solid reasons, backed by FACTS, not opinions. Even IF there was a miracle and he wins. He does what he's been doing for 35 years. NOTHING. Why? Because he CAN'T do anything when his own party (?) won't side with him on his Bolshevik proposals. It's not BERNIE, just like it's not about TRUMP. Changing law takes coordinating votes in first the house. Second the senate and finally.. Bernie gets to sign it. He'll do NONE of that. Got that? No healthcare, no reduction in military, no legislation passed, NOTHING. Meanwhile, all the 200+ judges Trump just put into place are ready to tie his hands, feet, and ANYTHING he tries to get done for FOUR LONG YEARS in the courts. So go ahead. Stamp your feet, clap your hands, cheer, and send more money. BERNIE IS TOAST. His crushing defeat in S. Carolina is only the beginning. IT'S ALL COMING TO LIGHT.... https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/29/bernie-sanders-group-uses-nda-to-quash-claim-of-racial-discrimination/

@InfinityHS Look, I've spent countless hours proving what I say is true. Do you make up false accusations so that you can LOSE arguments? Whatever I say, I can back it up with links and proof. It's just that the Sandernista don't WANT to hear the truth. You give them the proof, and they attack the messenger. The same tired old scenario. FACT Bernie attended a MARXIST camp in Israel, and it's there to this very day. FACT. Bernie has changed his "affiliation" multiple times to soften his positions. Marxist to Socialist to "democratic Socialist". FACT Bernie counts RECURRING donations as individual "small donor" donations in order to fake his appeal to the little guy, meanwhile, behind the scenes gets LARGE CORPORATE funding. FACT. Bolshevik Bernie has supported armed revolution in Nicaragua, backing the Sandinistas, a MARXIST group. His puppets insist he's a "democratic socialist" ignoring the FACT that the Bolsheviks in Russia used the same EXACT same term until after they took power. Now, if you want to argue the FACTS, let's have it. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/bernie-sanders-democratic-socialist-or-out-and-out-stalinistist/

Bolshevik Bernie is finished even before he gets started...... Once elected, this President wasted no time fulfilling his pledge to nominate judges who put impartiality and independence above activism from the bench. On day one, the Trump Administration went to work with the Senate to fill crucial vacancies. Fast forward to now, and the result is nothing less than a historic transformation of the judiciary.
The American Founding was built on the idea of separation of powers, President Trump said today. “This system was designed to protect citizens against the unjust concentration of governmental power . . . [but] when judges assume the role of a legislature, the rights of all citizens are threatened.”
What that means today: “The impartial and objective judge, who is a faithful servant of the law, is essential to the survival of American liberty.”
In just three years, President Trump has nominated and had confirmed two Supreme Court justices, 44 Circuit Court judges, and 112 District Court judges. Today, that historic pace is only accelerating: The President is set to have more judges confirmed this year alone than in all of 2017 and 2018 combined.
The average age of these new circuit judges is less than 50 years old—a full 10 years younger than the average age of former President Obama’s circuit nominees. That fact is important. President Trump understands that appointing good, fair judges is one of the most important legacies a President can leave. And thanks to the extraordinary number of young, talented judges he’s selected, that legacy is likely to last for decades to come.
Even more important than how long judges serve, of course, is what they do once they get on the bench. President Trump has always nominated judges who have a proven track record of standing up for the rule of law as written, not as imagined.
This quote from President Trump’s speech today may be the most important: When judges write policy instead of applying the law, they impose sweeping changes on millions of Americans without the benefit of legislative debate, public rulemaking, or the consent of the governed. As a result, these highly political rulings inflict painful damage on our security, society, and economy—imposing unworkable edicts on businesses, workers, families, and law enforcement.
His promise: “I will do everything in my power to halt judicial activism, and to ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly, and without political prejudice for all of our citizens.”

@Stevie671 Gees Steve, you seem to have forgotten a few facts to bolster your deluded argument. First, energy costs have PLUMMETED here in the USA. Natural gas is so cheap its putting our manufacturers at a distinct advantage that very few nations have. Those low cost items you speak of have short lives, and are unreliable, shoddy, cheap, and tainted goods made with little to no respect for health and safety. Little regard for the environment. We see it in China's air pollution. Sure American made goods are expensive, but IT'S VALUE is paramount. Those that aren't able to be produced with robotics, can indeed be procured from a FAIR AND FRIENDLY NATION. Not a cheater, liar, thief, spy. To do otherwise is slow suicide that Trump is attempting to stop.
