  1011.  @benjaminroberts2605  The Biden administration is very transparent. We can see right through their BS. The intent of my post is as follows. "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, “just men who will rule in the fear of God.” The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty;  if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted;  laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes;  corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws;  the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws. Noah Webster,  – 1758-1843,  If you are inclined to believe the leftist majority, puts the prosperity of Americans above their selfish endeavours for money and power, your ignorance consumed your ability to be fair, just, and make decisions that benefit the citizens of this nation. Men do not hate women, and whites do not hate blacks. The left implores you to believe that they do, for them to gain power and wealth. You obligingly lock step through your lack of morals, and education. More crimes are committed in defense of the left's racists actions (BLM riots), than by those the left labels as racists.

  1147. 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 Declaration of Independence.

  1154. "If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States. I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine yound intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them. If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing. -Paul Harvey, April 3, 1965

  1690.  @youllfloat2pennywise344  I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a political party that not only judges me by the color of my skin, but encourages and instructs their followers, to prejudge others by theirs. By viewing every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought, and died.  I object to the charge of systemic racism in this country. Systemic racism, properly understood, is segregated schools and separate lunch counters. It is the interning of Japanese and the exterminating of Jews. Systemic racism is unequivocally not a small number of isolated incidences over a period of decades. We have not had systemic racism against Blacks in this country since the civil rights reforms of the 1960s, a period of more than 50 years. To state otherwise is a flat-out misrepresentation of our country’s history and adds no understanding to any of today’s societal issues. If anything, longstanding and widespread policies such as affirmative action, point in precisely the opposite direction. People make poor choices. Blaming racism, and systematic racism for these poor choices, is an excuse to for not accepting responsibility for their own actions. Did the Caucasians, force the majority of blacks into poor performance in education? Or drug use and addictions? Or the choice of too many young black men to carry out criminal actions, which led them to prison? How about welfare fraud, did caucasians force blacks to commit welfare fraud? Or perhaps you believe the caucasians forced so many blacks into single parenthood? Every individuals life is shaped and guided by the choices they make. Want a better life? Make better choices!

  1746. During his high school years, he led both his football and track teams to state championships while also graduating top of his class at Johnson County High School. Herschel Walker is considered by many to be the greatest college football player of all time. As a freshman at the University of Georgia, Walker helped the Bulldogs win the 1980 national championship. He earned consensus All-American honors three consecutive years in both football and track & field, set 10 NCAA and 15 SEC records, and capped a sensational college career by winning the 1982 Heisman Trophy. In 1999, he was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame and was selected as the greatest player in college football in the last half-century. After three spectacular years at UGA, Walker gave up his final year of collegiate eligibility to play professional football. During his 15-year pro-football career in the USFL and NFL, Walker played for the New Jersey Generals, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants, setting the current single-season pro-football rushing record of 2,411 yards, leading the NFL in rushing, gaining more total yards than anyone in professional football history, and receiving numerous All-Pro and Pro-Bowl honors. Additionally, Walker broke a world record in the 60-yard dash, represented the United States in the 1992 Winter Olympics in bobsledding, earned a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and went undefeated as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. Herschel has also won the Celebrity Cook-Off on the Food Network To encourage a healthy lifestyle for all Americans, Herschel visited Capitol Hill multiple times to meet with members of Congress and discuss the importance of fitness and nutrition. Walker’s unmatched work ethic extends far beyond athletics. He is also the successful owner and CEO of two businesses in the food and service industry, H. Walker Enterprises, LLC and Renaissance Man Food Services, LLC. In true Herschel fashion, his brands have become successful food service lines to major hotel chains, the United States military, schools, concessions, and retail chains.

  1822. 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 Declaration of Independence

  1996. Biden and the Left, is racing at blinding speed to destroy every vestige of our representative Republic. By attempting to undo American accountability in elections through their support of HR1. They are attempting to undo our economic foundations, with massive printing (read that: devaluing) of our currency. They are attempting to destroy free enterprise and job growth with coming massive tax increases. By attempting to take away individual liberties with proposed vaccination mandates, and job loss for noncompliance. By supporting any attempt to end the Senate filibuster—in order to push through horrific laws by the thinnest margins ever attempted. They are attempting to overwhelm our security at our borders by encouraging 100’s of 1000’s of unverifiable persons of unknown origins to cross our borders without scrutiny nor penalty. The left wants the police weakened, and are pledging to take guns away from law abiding owners. Biden wants to pervert the justice system so dramatically that the Constitution becomes unrecognizable and ineffective. Biden's latest strategic ploy- signing an executive order, he officially commenced a process to attempt to “reform the Supreme Court.” His basis for why? Because the judicial system is “out of whack.” Which I can only presume is very technical language for, “my executive orders appear to be headed for trouble once they are challenged.” This is a legitimate worry to someone who is illegitimately writing laws as a dictator and expecting the plebs to kneel in obedience. One of his predecessor’s most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts. Shockingly President* Biden’s former boss had left hundreds of vacancies open, and President Trump plugged the holes in a little over three years. The left witnessed how quickly the progressive agenda can be stopped in a healthy constitutional republic. It’s why they exploited the CoVid19 crisis to change election standards by any means necessary in swing states. And it’s why they are calling every election reform attempting to bring transparency and integrity back to the process as “racist.” They literally have nothing else. Except a portion of our citizenry willing to support, defend, and throw away their Constitutional Rights to appease an oppressive tyrant, and oppressive political party. Our Founding Fathers weep....

  2167.  @eriklapidus5868  AOC, Rashida Tlaib leap to defense of Ilhan Omar after her ‘some people did something’ 9/11 remarks. (Fox News, April 11, 2019) “Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., have both jumped to the defense of their under fire fellow freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar, saying Thursday her comment in reference to 9/11 has been wildly taken out of context. “Omar, D-Minn., is facing backlash after a speech at a Muslim rights group’s event in which she described the September 11, 2001, terror attacks as “some people did something”. “Tlaib, when asked by MSNBC if Omar should have rethought her words, said that she had been taken out of context. “They do that all the time, especially women of color, they take our words out of context because they’re afraid because we speak truth, we speak truth to power,” Tlaib said. Ocasio-Cortez said later Thursday: “To elicit such an image for such a transparently and politically motivated attack on Ilhan… we are getting to the level where this is an incitement of violence against progressive women of color, and if they can’t figure out how to get it back to policy, we need to call it out for what it is because this is not normal. And, this is not a normal level of political debate or rhetoric, as wild as it can get sometimes. This is something beyond what is normal.” ‘Rep. Rashida Tlaib “FEARS” Americans She Was Elected To Serve’ (Canada Free Press, April 27,2019) “It is not Americans who should be feared but rather how radical, pro-Hezbollah, anti-Israel activists like Rashida Tlaib ever got elected to the Congress of the United States of America.” Meanwhile, Obama’s ‘Fundamental Transformation of America’ lives on in the Deep State, represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in a never-ending waking nightmare. https://canadafreepress.com/article/omar-tlaib-and-aoc-carrying-on-obamas-poisonous-hate-america-legacy

  2245.  @johnnyisrael5586  The Republican Party, was founded in 1848 with the abolition of slavery as its core mission. Almost immediately after its second presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won the 1860 election, Democrat-controlled southern states seceded on the assumption that Lincoln would destroy their slave-based economies. Once the Civil War ended, the newly freed slaves as expected flocked to the Republican Party, but Democrat control of the South from Reconstruction until the Civil Rights Era was near total.  In 1960, Democrats held EVERY Senate seat south of the Mason Dixon line.  Meaning, ALL of the Senate seats in the 13 states that made up the Confederacy a century earlier. Democrats also held a staggering 117-8 advantage in the House of Representatives.  The Democratic Party was so strong in the south that those 117 House members made up a full 41% of Democrats' 283-153 advantage in the Chamber. Likewise, throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, Democratic governors and overwhelmingly Democratic State Legislatures controlled the South, which steadfastly opposed the push for civil rights. In contrast, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, openly praised school desegregation in the Brown v. Board of Education decision and sent federalized Arkansas National Guard troops to Little Rock to protect nine black students after Democratic Governor Orval Faubus threatened to keep them out of a previously all-white high school. The ignorance you encompass, is extreme to believe the DNC has your best interest at heart. In fact, they only care about your allegiance, not you, not your family, not your ability to succeed. Ignorance is the DumbAzzCraps foot hold on America. It is also the DNC boot on your neck, holding you down. OMG, read, learn, shake off the ignorance, not for me, but for yourself.

  2390.  @heckenprunzer  Joe Biden, having already presided on the worst economic recovery since World War II as Barack Obama’s vice president, could oversee one even worse. But unlike the fundamentally crippled economy Obama inherited, Biden came into office with every economic feature in his favor. Thanks to Operation Warp Speed, his White House inherited the most remarkable vaccine production process in history. Because the coronavirus recession was created by preventive lockdowns and demand shocks, not underlying failures of the economy, the country seemed keen to roar back to our pre-pandemic prosperity of unusually tight labor markets and steady natural wage growth of early 2020. Love President Trump, or hate him, there is no denying that he oversaw the obliteration of our concept of what constituted FULL employment. And yet, Biden seems to be blowing the lead. After nearly a year of the economy regaining more than half of the job losses accrued during the April 2020 apex of the coronavirus recession, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported just a quarter-million new jobs created in contrast to the 1 million jobs anticipated by experts, rendering it the single worst jobs report in the nation’s history. The unemployment rate actually increased for the first time since last year, from 6% in March to 6.1%. Even worse, inflation seems on the rise in a way it hasn’t been in decades at the same time plateauing labor force participation might kill our economic output. For starters, an unprecedented amount of cash has been injected into an economy already shouldering nearly $30 trillion in national debt. For this, Biden hardly bears all the blame. Although Trump’s coronavirus spending package was necessitated by the lockdowns. Biden passed another $1.9 trillion grab bag of left-wing goodies under the guise of pandemic relief, and now he’s pushing for a further $4 trillion financed solely by the Federal Reserve, risking it all on a full-year commitment to keep interest rates near zero. Biden, even before the election, elevated proponents of Modern Monetary Theory like Stephanie Kelton to key positions on his economic policy task force. When sound voices in the room like Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warn about the Fed’s dangerous dovishness, she has been quickly browbeaten into publicly reversing course. So we have an explosion of cash into circulation, nonexistent interest rates disincentivizing spending, and closures of schools and businesses shrinking the labor force. On top of that, we have Biden’s signature policy failure: the federal government’s expanded unemployment benefits incentivizing people from returning to work. Despite the White House and its media agents insisting that businesses are to blame for the employment shortage, even Biden has admitted that a change has to be made. "We're going to make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment, who was offered a suitable job, must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits,” Biden said of his hopes to fix the extended Unemployment Insurance benefits during Monday remarks. But Congress has already authorized the extra unemployment spending through September, and despite a lifesaving vaccination campaign rendering a return to normalcy safe, the damage is already done. Workers may refuse to return behind the bar or to the driver's seats of Ubers because they’ll make more in UI, but the demand for service won’t dissipate until autumn. Instead, big businesses such as McDonald’s and Amazon will continue to automate future jobs out of existence and small businesses will be crushed. Twelve years ago, Obama could rightly claim he inherited a mess. Biden needs to admit he's made one.

  2455. The DNC has no desire to make it easier for people to vote. They want to usurp states rights, therefore they can control state and federal elections. This is unhealthy, and is against the design our Founding fathers put in place to guarantee free and fair elections. Socialism is an economic system in which the factors of production are valued in relation to their usefulness to people. Socialists take into account both individual needs and greater social needs. They allocate resources using central planning, as in a command economy. Examples of greater social needs include transportation, defense, education, health care, and the preservation of natural resources. Some also define the common good as caring for those who can't directly contribute to production. Examples include the elderly, children, and their caretakers.  In a socialist society, everyone receives a share of the production based on how much each has contributed. This system motivates them to work long hours if they want to receive more. Workers receive their share of production after a percentage has been deducted for the common good. How Socialism Works In theory and in practice, the actual workings of a socialist system can come in any number of forms. Fundamentally, the core question comes down to whether the levers of production are controlled by a central authority like the government, the markets, or some combination of the two. Ownership should still be in the hands of the people, but the practical outworking of this will vary depending on what apparatus is driving production. Socialism is an economic system which has at least 8 types or degrees of freedom usurpations, and oppression is always present. Every type, and degree of Socialism has failed in every country, where it has been implemented.

  2513.  @benjaminroberts2605  I my self would never commit a home invasion. I could not hold a gun to a pregnant woman's head, then her belly, threatening to kill her and the child she is carrying. I am a decent person. I believe all people have the right to safety in their own home. I also believe that everyone should be have the same rights. That being said, Geo. Floyd did hold a gun to a pregnant woman's head and belly, threatening to kill her and the child she is carrying, after violently breaking into her home, during a home invasion, beating her savagely. George Floyd was not a decent person. I do not think I am better than other races. I do however feel I am a better person than criminals, and drug addicts, that violently attack innocent victims, to get drugs or money to by drugs. BTW, George Floyd was not murdered by strangulation as the prosecution claims. George Floyds blood oxygen saturation was 98% at the time of his death. Geo. Floyd died of heart failure because his heart was enlarged and surrounded by water (cardiac edema).That in itself proves that his death was not murder. He was a very unhealthy, unhinged individual, who used too many drugs, and he really did more self inflicted damage to his own body, than the arresting officers did. Burning down a city, by violent angry protesters will not fix anything. Accepting the verdict, regardless of whichever the jury decides, is how rational, respectful, educated people would react. So, your assumptions about me are wrong. I am not a racist. I am not a sexist. I do not feel, or act, superior to anyone, except those who engage willingly in crimes against humanity. I just wish you could rationally reread my posts, because you are BMW about things that do not appear in the text of my posts. I would also like to point out that you are the first poster on this thread that somehow equated statehood for DC as a racial issue. You were the first to go there, and like a dog whistle others followed suit. Aren't you forgetting what party the southern racists politicians, you refer to are from? They were Democrats. Republicans throughout the history of this nation, have fought for, and voted in favor of abolishing slavery. The Republicans have always fought for, and voted in favor of, equal rights, civil rights, equal employment opportunity, fair housing, equal education opportunity, prison reforms, allocating money to help ex convicts, succeed and lessen recidivism and have fought to end racism each and every time it has reared it's ugly head. Projection by the liberals is a pathetic attempt to fool the less educated to vote in favor of cognitively impaired clown, who is passing legislation at record speed to promoted socialism, and shackle all Americans in the chains of high taxes. Socialism ALWAYS results in high poverty, oppression, starvation, and death. I suggest you invest in your education.

  2712.  @JohnDoe-rk9bx  Logan's Run was released in the 1970's. I my Dad and Mom were born in 1976, and 1977 respectfully. I wasn't born until 1999. Grandma loves that movie for some reason. Too much irrational, idiocy for my liking, though. IMO, Hollyweird is a pit of ultra rich liberals who use their fame to sway public opinions irrationally left of center. So I am not a fan, of that type of idiocy. Freedom cities, will not be domed havens of social hierarchy. Imagine cities with tough on crime policies from day one of their inception. Older cities are past the point of salvation. Crime is out of control. Racism, though mostly dreamed up by thin skinned individuals, with a hatred of police, is not nearly as bad as the media and democrats portray it to be. As a black man, I can honestly say racism has not affected me, or my life significantly. I am not your average black man though. I am educated. I never received government assistance, of any sort in my life. I am a business owner, and life is good. I wish you and your family all the best, in all your endeavors. Trust more in God, than in politics, and you will be better for it. I believe WWIII can be avoided, as can social collapse, if FJB and his party are removed from power. President Trump is the best President in my lifetime. His policies worked. He kept the peace here and across the globe for four years. Please don't believe the media and Democrat idiocy and untruths about him. He only wants what will benefit this nation. He has the intelligence, fortitude, and strength to deliver on his promises. He has already done this once, while Democrats put him through hell, and he still delivered amazing results.

  2719.  @sharonsmelser2491  As I have suffered through, reading your highly opinionated, yet unfactual postings, I would like to remind you that you do not have the right to ask me, nor I the inclination to be silenced, merely because of your inability to see both sides of a debate. The mention of parties by name is required to pinpoint the fallacy of your statements, that is why I use them. Ma'am, I am not creating a straw man, you are. The myth of Nixon's Southern Strategy has been debunked multiple times. There is no factual support, to lend any substance to this myth. Merely, the Democrats(progressives) whitewashing (no pun intended) their racist history. Pretending their ugly racism, sexism, and hate is owned by the Conservative Republican party today. Never happened, you can believe in fairy tales if you so choose. Facts are stubborn, and disprove this outright lie. For instance, how many racist Dixiecrats did Nixon win for the GOP? Turns out, virtually none. Among the racist Dixiecrats, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was the sole senator to defect to the Republicans — and he did this long before Nixon’s time. Only one Dixiecrat congressman, Albert Watson of SC, switched to the GOP. The rest, more than 200 Dixiecrat senators, congressmen, governors and high elected officials, all stayed in the Democratic Party, keeping their racism, sexism, and bias intact. So.... You can take your BS off the table. BC, I am tired of your untruths, half truths, and out right lies. I will not be silenced, especially when the truth needs spoken, and heard. If that offends you, mute me.

  2778.  @Mike-lv6vs  As part of the COVID-19 relief bill passed in March, Congress approved a one-year increase in the child tax credit from $2,000 per child annually to $3,600 per child under the age of 6 and $3,000 for those ages 6 to 17—delivered as monthly payments of $300 per child under age 6 and $250 for older kids. In the reconciliation bill, Democrats are proposing to maintain the expanded tax credit through 2025. Why 2025? Because the tax credit—which isn't really a tax credit at all, but rather a direct subsidy since it is paid out even if recipients have no income and owe no federal taxes—is expensive. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the child tax credit will cost about $110 billion annually, and extending the tax credit through 2025 will cost $450 Billion. Making it permanent would cost $1.1 Trillion over the next 10 years. Those amounts could make a big difference in the ultimate fate of Biden's plan. Democrats need to use the reconciliation process to bypass the filibuster in the Senate, but the rules governing the reconciliation process forbid legislation that expands the federal budget deficit over the next decade. That means every dollar of new spending has to be offset somehow.  And $1.1 trillion is a lot more than $450 billion. Most Democrats would probably love to extend the expand the child tax credit permanently. But by setting the expanded tax credit to expire four years from now, Democrats are able to ignore roughly $700 billion in future costs that have to be offset in order to use the reconciliation process.

  2975.  @robertirvine7938  How ironic and hypocritical your comments are. You begin with, Buh, Buh, but Trump blah, blah blah....... You finish by accusing me of Buh, but Biden. Everything I stated about Biden is factual. Also your hero has failed miserably with his handling of the Covid pandemic. Operation Warp Speed gifted effective Covid vaccines for your hero. Yet, since February, all Covid deaths under Biden have exceeded the number of deaths while President Trump was in office. FAIL! This was exacerbated by your hero's stupid decision to openly invite millions of unvaccinated migrants/terrorists across our southern border. He even promised to gift them $400k each for criminally invading our homeland. Also, Biden's Afghan withdrawl would have been executed better by a 3rd grader. Gifting the Afghan Taliban with $400 Billion in US weaponry was absolutely insane. FAIL! Inflation is rampant. FAIL! Energy cost have skyrocketed, under his leadership. The percentage of those receiving some sort of welfare benefits reached record level/ unprecedented proportions under your hero. FAIL. We are countrymen. This is our Homeland. I think we can both agree we need intelligent, capable, reasonable leadership to steer our country in times of crisis. We do not need leadership that takes pride in creating crisis, after crisis, to wreak havoc on our nation, penalized our citizenry, devastate our economy, and endanger the future of our nation. I am an Independent. I have always voted for who will be the best stewards for this nation, not by party. Currently, the DNC is very regressive. Their refusal to work together with Conseratives is childish, and harms our nation. Thankfully, midterms will steer this nation away from the regressive, tyrannical, socialism pushing leftist ideology. We need to silence the radical left, by putting rational, even handed leadership back in DC. The freak show is appalling to 100's of millions of our citizenry.

  3000.  @canderson5098  In Kansas, “border ruffians,” led by Democratic senator, David Atchison, moved in and out of Kansas with impunity—stuffing ballot boxes, visiting violence on free state settlers and attempting to tilt the scales in favor of slavery. “You know how to protect your own interests,” Atchison declared. “Your rifles will free you from such neighbors. … You will go there, if necessary, with the bayonet and with blood.” “If we win,” he promised, “we can carry slavery to the Pacific Ocean.” Although antislavery voters probably made up a healthy majority of the population, the slave forces stole a series of territorial elections, leading the Free Soilers to establish a shadow government in Lawrence, Kansas. Tensions had already started to boil over when Atchison’s ruffians “sacked” and pillaged the free-state capital city, destroying the local Free-Soil newspaper office and laying ruin to the Free State Hotel, which housed the shadow legislature. Days later, on May 19, 1856, Charles Sumner rose on the Senate floor to denounce the “crime against Kansas.” The day after his speech, as Sumner attended to routine paperwork on the Senate floor, Congressman Preston Brooks entered the chamber and set upon him with a metal-tipped cane. The senators’ desks were bolted to the floor, making it impossible for Sumner to escape from his seat. Writhing in pain, he wrenched the desk up with his knees and collapsed on the bloodstained carpet. His injuries nearly killed him, and it would be four years before he could return to normal duties in the Capitol. As for Brooks: He enjoyed the full-throated support of Southern Democrats and the quiet approval—or at least non-disapproval—of his Northern party brethren who remained faithful to their party. The incident soon became known as “Bleeding Sumner,” and it created a political firestorm. The symbolic importance of the crime was arresting. Southern Democrats and their fellow travelers up North were no longer content to employ violence and terrorism in Kansas. Now they had brought their war of aggression into the halls of Congress. “The South has taken the oligarchic ground that Slavery ought to exist, irrespective of color,” the New-York Tribune intoned, “that Democracy is an illusion and a lie.”

  3021. The timeline is ten years. Here are some of the goals: Ban affordable energy. GND calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, the lifeblood of American industry and life, which includes not only all oil but also natural gas — one of the cheapest sources of American energy, and one of the reasons the United States has been able to lead the world in carbon-emissions reduction. Eliminate nuclear energy. The GND also calls for eliminating all nuclear power, one of the only productive and somewhat affordable “clean” energy sources available to us, in 11 years. This move would purge around 20 percent of American energy generation so you can rely on intermittent wind for your energy needs. Eliminate 99 percent of cars. To be fair, under the GND, everyone will need to retrofit their cars with Flintstones-style foot holes or pedals for cycling. The authors state that the GND would like to replace every “combustion-engine vehicle” — trucks, airplanes, boats, and 99 percent of cars — within ten years. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be built “everywhere,” though how power plants will provide the energy needed to charge them is a mystery. Gut and rebuild every building in America. Markey and Cortez want to “retrofit every building in America” with “state of the art energy efficiency.” I repeat, “every building in America.” That includes every home, factory, and apartment building, which will all need, for starters, to have their entire working heating and cooling systems ripped out and replaced with…well, with whatever technology Democrats are going invent in their committee hearings, I guess. Eliminate air travel. GND calls for building out “highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Good luck Hawaii! California’s high-speed boondoggle is already in $100 billion dollars of debt, and looks to be one of the state’s biggest fiscal disasters ever. Amtrak runs billions of dollars in the red (though, as we’ll see, trains that run on fossil fuels will also be phased out). Imagine growing that business model out to every state in America? A government-guaranteed job. The bill promises the United States government will provide every single American with a job that includes a “family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and a pension.” You can imagine that those left in the private sector would be funding these through some unspecified “massive” taxation. On the bright side, when you’re foraging for food, your savings will be worthless. Free education for life. GND promises free college or trade schools for every American. A salubrious diet. The GND promises the government will provide “healthy food” to every American (because there are no beans or lettuce in your local supermarket, I guess). A house. The GND promises that the government will provide, “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for every American citizen. I call dibs on an affordable Adams Morgan townhouse. Thank you, Ocasio-Cortez. Free money. The GND aims to provide, and I am not making this up, “economic security” for all who are “unable or unwilling” to work. Just to reiterate: if you’re unwilling to work, the rest of us will have your back. Bonus insanity: Ban meat. Ocasio-Cortez admits that we can’t get zero emissions in 10 years “because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” The only way to get rid of farting cows is to get rid of beef.

  3067. Biden is racing at blinding speed to destroy every vestige of our representative republic. Those who aren’t paying attention moronically defend his blasphemous destruction of America, the American dream, our capitalist economy, America's borders, the US Constitution and America's sovereignty. Biden's hope of undoing American accountability in elections through his support of HR1. He’s attempting to undo our economic foundations with massive printing (read that: devaluing) of our currency. He’s attempting to destroy free enterprise and job growth with coming massive tax increases. He’s attempting to take away individual liberties with proposed vaccination mandates, and job loss for non-compliance. He supports any attempt to end the Senate filibuster—in order to push through horrific laws by the thinnest margins ever attempted. He’s attempting to overwhelm our security at our borders by encouraging 100’s of 1000’s of unverifiable persons of unknown origins to cross our borders without scrutiny nor penalty. He wants the police weakened, and is emboldening the criminal leftist mindset. He is pledging to take guns away from law abiding owners. Biden wants to pervert the justice system so dramatically that the. US Constitution becomes so diluted, it becomes weak, useless and unrecognizable. Biden's latest strategic ploy- signing what seems as though might be his 500th executive order, he officially commenced a process to attempt to “reform the Supreme Court.” His basis for why? Because the judicial system is “out of whack.” Which I can only presume is very technical language for, “my executive orders appear to be headed for trouble once they are challenged.” This is a legitimate worry to someone who is illegitimately writing laws as a dictator and expecting the plebs to kneel in obedience. President Trump's most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts. The left witnessed how quickly the progressive agenda can be stopped in a healthy constitutional republic. This is why they exploited the CoVid19 crisis to change election standards by any means necessary in swing states. And it’s why they are calling every election reform attempting to bring transparency and integrity back to the process as “racist.” They literally have nothing else. Except perhaps, moronic individuals, who are willing to worship and defend the actions of, until their dying breath, an oppressive tyrant like Biden. Ignoramuses, such as Belinda Tapp, who have been taught, only, what to think, instead of how to think for themselves, objectively. Individuals like this, laughably, spew hate and childish, uneducated insults, at those of us who are capable of comprehending the devastation, the Leftist mindset will reign down upon the greatest nation on earth. I challenge Belinda Tapp to an intelligence sparring match. In so far as, all they have contrived are falsehoods and childish insults.

One of his predecessor’s most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts. Obama had left hundreds of judicial vacancies open, and President Trump plugged the holes in a little over three years. The left witnessed how quickly the progressive agenda can be stopped in a healthy constitutional republic. It’s why they exploited the CoVid19 crisis to change election standards by any means necessary in swing states. And it’s why they are calling every election reform attempting to bring transparency and integrity back to the process as “racist.” They literally have nothing else. Except.... a large segment of the American citizenry, who have been taught only what to think, they are incapable of rational, educated, coherent, and factual based independent thought processes. This portion of society gleefully surrender their rights, to appease an oppressive tyrant, and political party. My, how far America has fallen since our Founding Fathers fought and bled for this nation's independence.

  3127.  @JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist  I absolutely agree. Feds funded study proving Thanos couldn't snap his fingers while wearing Infinity Gauntlet The U.S. federal government funded a study that determined the Marvel supervillain "Thanos" would not have been able to snap his fingers in the movie Avengers: Infinity War, a new report from Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., revealed last week. The study, spearheaded by researchers at Georgia Tech, focused on the speed at which humans can snap their fingers, ultimately reporting a finger snap "produces the highest rotational accelerations observed in humans, even faster than the arm of a professional baseball pitcher." For the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with how we can snap our fingers,” Saad Bhamla, one of the researchers involved in the study, said in a press release. “It’s really an extraordinary physics puzzle right at our fingertips that hasn’t been investigated closely.” Prior to conducting the study, Bhamla and his fellow researchers developed a "framework" to explain "ultrafast motions" in living beings. Seeing Thanos snap his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers: Infinity War inspired the researchers to apply their framework to the massively popular cinematic franchise. Despite deriving inspiration from Thanos, the study focused more broadly on the human finger snap, raising questions about why humans snap their fingers in the first place and whether other primates have the ability to do so. Regardless, the press release announcing the study's findings placed a noticeable emphasis on Thanos and his cataclysmic finger snap. Our results suggest that Thanos could not have snapped because of his metal armored fingers,” Raghav Acharya, one of the authors of the study, said in the release. "So, it’s probably the Hollywood special effects, rather than actual physics, at play! Sorry for the spoiler." Senator Rand Paul highlighted the $118,971 grant awarded to the researchers in his annual "Festivus" report, which outlines examples of wasteful spending by the federal government. The report dubbed "national debt" as "the real infinity war" in an apparent spoof of the Marvel movie. Other examples of allegedly wasteful spending featured in the report include a nearly $200,000 grant "to verify that the relationship between pets and children is beneficial to mental health," as well as a $50 million investment to encourage tourism in the African nation of Tunisia.

  3137.  @sandler800  The First Amendment gives everyone residing in the United States the right to hear all sides of every issue and to make their own judgments about those issues without government interference or limitations. The First Amendment allows individuals to speak, publish, read and view what they wish, worship (or not worship) as they wish, associate with whomever they choose, and gather together to ask the government to make changes in the law or to correct the wrongs in society. The right to speak and the right to publish under the First Amendment has been interpreted widely to protect individuals and society from government attempts to suppress ideas and information, and to forbid government censorship of books, magazines, and newspapers as well as art, film, music and materials on the internet. The Supreme Court and other courts have held conclusively that there is a First Amendment right to receive information as a corollary to the right to speak. Justice William Brennan elaborated on this point in 1965: “The protection of the Bill of Rights goes beyond the specific guarantees to protect from Congressional abridgment those equally fundamental personal rights necessary to make the express guarantees fully meaningful.I think the right to receive publications is such a fundamental right.The dissemination of ideas can accomplish nothing if otherwise willing addressees are not free to receive and consider them. It would be a barren marketplace of ideas that had only sellers and no buyers.” Lamont v. Postmaster General, 381 U.S. 301 (1965). The Supreme Court reaffirmed that the right to receive information is a fundamental right protected under the U.S. Constitution when it considered whether a local school board violated the Constitution by removing books from a school library. In that decision, the Supreme Court held that “the right to receive ideas is a necessary predicate to the recipient’s meaningful exercise of his own rights of speech, press, and political freedom.” Board of Education v. Pico, 457 U.S. 853 (1982) Public schools and public libraries, as public institutions, have been the setting for legal battles about student access to books, the removal or retention of “offensive” material, regulation of patron behavior, and limitations on public access to the internet. Restrictions and censorship of materials in public institutions are most commonly prompted by public complaints about those materials and implemented by government officials mindful of the importance some of their constituents may place on religious values, moral sensibilities, and the desire to protect children from materials they deem to be offensive or inappropriate. Directly or indirectly, ordinary individuals are the driving force behind the challenges to the freedom to access information and ideas in the library. The First Amendment prevents public institutions from compromising individuals' First Amendment freedoms by establishing a framework that defines critical rights and responsibilities regarding free expression and the freedom of belief. The First Amendment protects the right to exercise those freedoms, and it advocates respect for the right of others to do the same. Rather than engaging in censorship and repression to advance one's values and beliefs, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis counsels persons living in the United States to resolve their differences in values and belief by resort to "more speech, not enforced silence." By virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment, the First Amendment's constitutional right of free speech and intellectual freedom also applies to state and local governments. Government agencies and government officials are forbidden from regulating or restricting speech or other expression based on its content or viewpoint. Criticism of the government, political dissatisfaction, and advocacy of unpopular ideas that people may find distasteful or against public policy are nearly always protected by the First Amendment. Only that expression that is shown to belong to a few narrow categories of speech is not protected by the First Amendment. The categories of unprotected speech include obscenity, child pornography, defamatory speech, false advertising, true threats, and fighting words. Deciding what is and is not protected speech is reserved to courts of law.

  3140.  @sandler800  You must have very poor reading comprehension skills. In my last post you will find I cited 3 Supreme Court rulings that are very pertinent to the issue of free speech, in print, on tv, on radio, and on the internet. Also, you will learn why religion is protected. Therefore, if you want to air Muslim prayer services, you can. By either paying a network to air them or creating your own network. You seem confused, and or dense. NewsMax is the 4th highest rated news network in the US, and is being threatened with huge fees by AT&T or being deplatformed. CNN is rated 63rd and MSNBC is rated 56th in veiwership, AT&T waives their fees to keep CNN, MSNBC, and 20 other left wing propaganda news outlets in their lineup. To put this in terms even a simpleton, like can understand AT&T makes money by having NewsMax in their lineup. AT&T loses money by having CNN and MSNBC in their lineup These facts disprove your earlier statement about the facts of this issue. Also, another very important fact that you are choosing to ignore is, AT&T receives huge amounts of government funding which is paid by our tax money. Tax money that is paid by Republicans, and Democrats. These puts AT&T in a position to lose government funding, if they continue this blatant discrimination. Which proves this has nothing whatsoever to do with veiwership, and everything to do with pushing left wing ideologies, and promoting propaganda networks over higher viewership channels. Dude, educate yourself..... Don't do it for me. Do it for yourself.

  3142.  @sandler800  Your reading comprehension is very poor. Nothing I said could even remotely be construed, into your interpretation of it. Did AT&T use a credible business reason for this as opposed to an arbitrary political reason for cutting off Newsmax? Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy is a very intelligent businessman. If there was a deal to be had with DirecTV, it would have been reached. AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal at midnight Tuesday, stopping its more than 13 million customers on the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse from accessing the network. DirecTV said it was taking the step as a "cost-cutting" measure and would not meet Newsmax's calls for the provider to pay the network a cable license fee.The fact is that AT&T makes huge profits having Newsmax on their platform, flies in the face of their lies. AT&T is lying to the public. They're lying to their customers, and that raises legal issues. They can't lie to the customers so they can and will be charged state and federal crimes. That could also trigger investigations from the FCC. If it can be proven DirecTV is lying to Newsmax, and their customers, AT&T will lose its ability to maintain FCC approval. If that happens AT&T will not remain licenced to act as a network in the USA, without keeping Newsmax available. You seem quite arrogant, and also egregiously ignorant. I have tried to educate you. Sadly, you are unable to learn anything, prolly bc you think you know it all. What you know might fill a thimble. What you don't know would fill the universe.

  3147. Ten year goals of GND ;Ban affordable energy. GND calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, the lifeblood of American industry and life, which includes not only all oil but also natural gas — one of the cheapest sources of American energy, and one of the reasons the United States has been able to lead the world in carbon-emissions reduction. Eliminate nuclear energy. The GND also calls for eliminating all nuclear power, one of the only productive and somewhat affordable “clean” energy sources available to us, in 11 years. This move would purge around 20 percent of American energy generation so you can rely on intermittent wind for your energy needs. Eliminate 99 percent of cars. To be fair, under the GND, everyone will need to retrofit their cars with Flintstones-style foot holes or pedals for cycling. The authors state that the GND would like to replace every “combustion-engine vehicle” — trucks, airplanes, boats, and 99 percent of cars — within ten years. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be built “everywhere,” though how power plants will provide the energy needed to charge them is a mystery. Gut and rebuild every building in America. Markey and Cortez want to “retrofit every building in America” with “state of the art energy efficiency.” I repeat, “every building in America.” That includes every home, factory, and apartment building, which will all need, for starters, to have their entire working heating and cooling systems ripped out and replaced with…well, with whatever technology Democrats are going invent in their committee hearings, I guess. Eliminate air travel. GND calls for building out “highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Good luck Hawaii! California’s high-speed boondoggle is already in $100 billion dollars of debt, and looks to be one of the state’s biggest fiscal disasters ever. Amtrak runs billions of dollars in the red (though, as we’ll see, trains that run on fossil fuels will also be phased out). Imagine growing that business model out to every state in America? A government-guaranteed job. The bill promises the United States government will provide every single American with a job that includes a “family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and a pension.” You can imagine that those left in the private sector would be funding these through some unspecified “massive” taxation. On the bright side, when you’re foraging for food, your savings will be worthless. Free education for life. GND promises free college or trade schools for every American. A salubrious diet. The GND promises the government will provide “healthy food” to every American (because there are no beans or lettuce in your local supermarket, I guess). A house. The GND promises that the government will provide, “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for every American citizen. I call dibs on an affordable Adams Morgan townhouse. Thank you, Ocasio-Cortez. Free money. The GND aims to provide, and I am not making this up, “economic security” for all who are “unable or unwilling” to work. Just to reiterate: if you’re unwilling to work, the rest of us will have your back. Bonus insanity: Ban meat. Ocasio-Cortez admits that we can’t get zero emissions in 10 years “because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” The only way to get rid of farting cows is to get rid of beef.

  3273.  @p4our587  Nearly everything you posted about the TCJA is a lie, according to data from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service comparing outcomes from 2017 to 2018—the first year the tax reform law went into effect—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced average effective income tax rates for filers in every one of the IRS’s income brackets, with the largest benefits going to lower- and middle-income households. For example, after accounting for all tax deductions and credits, filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $40,000 to $50,000 received an average tax cut of 18.2 percent.[4] The IRS data further show that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act appeared to have a strong upward effect on economic mobility. The number of filers with an adjusted gross income of $1 to $25,000 decreased by more than 2 million in just one year, while the number of households reporting incomes higher than $25,000 increased in every income bracket.[5] The most significant increase occurred in the $100,000 to $200,000 bracket, which included more than 1 million additional filers in 2018 than it did in 2017.[6] The IRS data also revealed that higher-income earners paid an even larger share of the total tax burden in 2018 than they did in 2017, indicating that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may have made the tax code slightly more progressive. This finding contradicts the countless statements made by Democrats over the past four years criticizing TCJA as legislation that favored wealthier filers. In 2017, filers earning $500,000 or more paid 38.9 percent of all personal income tax revenues. In 2018, the same income bracket paid 41.5 percent of total income tax revenues.[7] The available evidence is clear: Based on tax data from 2017 and 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced taxes for the vast majority of filers, led to substantial improvements in upward economic mobility, and disproportionately benefited working- and middle-class households, many of which experienced tax cuts topping 18 percent to 20 percent. This is FACTUAL information taken directly from the IRS website. It appears Nancy Pelosi’s claims of “snake oil” peddling were completely unfounded.

  3292. Biden is racing at blinding speed to destroy every vestige of our representative republic. He’s attempting to undo American accountability in elections through his support of HR1. He’s attempting to undo our economic foundations with massive printing (read that: devaluing) of our currency. He’s attempting to destroy free enterprise and job growth with coming massive tax increases. He’s attempting to take away individual liberties with proposed vaccine mandates, and noncompliance job loss. He supports any attempt to end the Senate filibuster—in order to push through horrific laws by the thinnest margins ever attempted. He’s attempting to overwhelm our security at our borders by encouraging 100’s of 1000’s of unverifiable persons of unknown origins to cross our borders without scrutiny nor penalty. He wants the police weakened. He is pledging to take guns away from law abiding owners. And he wants to pervert the justice system so dramatically that the Constitution becomes unrecognizable. His latest strategic ploy? Signing what seems as though might be his 500th executive order, he officially commenced a process to attempt to “reform the Supreme Court.” His basis for why? Because the judicial system is “out of whack.” Which I can only presume is very technical language for, “my executive orders appear to be headed for trouble once they are challenged.” This is a legitimate worry to someone who is illegitimately writing laws as a dictator and expecting the plebs to kneel in obedience. One of his predecessor’s most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts. Shockingly President* Biden’s former boss had left hundreds of vacancies open, and President Trump plugged the holes in a little over three years. The left witnessed how quickly the progressive agenda can be stopped in a healthy constitutional republic. It’s why they exploited the CoVid19 crisis to change election standards by any means necessary in swing states. And it’s why they are calling every election reform attempting to bring transparency and integrity back to the process as “racist.” They literally have nothing else.

  3513.  @denisecase807  Biden's goals have not changed one bit. You are foolish to think he won't continue to gut social programs, as he has championed for for over 40 years. On two previous occasions, Biden has offered suggestions to strengthen SS, which ultimately reduce benefits. While most lawmakers have shied away from directly calling for Social Security benefits to be cut, President Joe Biden has previously done so on two separate occasions. Joe Biden was a presidential candidate for the 2008 ticket. In September 2007, Biden released a plan that was, among other things, designed to shore up Social Security. Keep in mind that Although this plan called for an increase to the maximum taxable earnings cap on high earners, Biden was also open to discussing bipartisan options, such as raising the full retirement age. The full retirement age is the age at which a beneficiary becomes eligible to receive 100% of their retired worker benefit. For roughly six decades after the first Social Security check went out in 1940, the full retirement age stood pat at 65. But following two rounds of gradual increases, everyone born in 1960 and later has a full retirement age of 67. The second time President Biden called for Social Security benefit cuts happened more recently. In May 2018, nearly a full year before declaring his candidacy for president, Biden advocated for benefits means-testing while speaking at a Brookings Institution event. Said Biden:  Paul Ryan [the former Republican speaker of the house] was correct when he did the tax code. What's the first thing he decided we had to go after? Social Security and Medicare. Now, we need to do something about Social Security and Medicare. That's the only way you can find room to pay for it. Now, I don't know a whole lot of people in the top one-tenth of 1% or top 1% [who] are relying on Social Security when they retire. Please educate yourself. Your desperation is grossly apparent. Good Riddance, to bad rubbish.

One of his predecessor’s most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts. Shockingly President* Biden’s former boss had left hundreds of vacancies open, and President Trump plugged the holes in a little over three years. The left witnessed how quickly the progressive agenda can be stopped in a healthy constitutional republic. It’s why they exploited the CoVid19 crisis to change election standards by any means necessary in swing states. And it’s why they are calling every election reform attempting to bring transparency and integrity back to the process as “racist.” They literally have nothing else.

  3620.  @ldjman9817  You seem confused. Both of my replies are in response to the word salads you posted here. Keep up! Your last post is an outright lie. Seems you are as economical with the truth as Biden is. Why do liberals lie all the time, like Biden does? Why do you fear the truth? FYI - Joe Biden Confused While Recalling Campaign Train Event in Ohio- President Joe Biden on Tuesday struggled to correctly remember the exact date and location of an event in Ohio during his presidential campaign. The president tried to recall the details of the event while speaking virtually at the White House with a child care worker in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday. “When are you going to see us in Columbus?” the woman asked. “Well I’m going to be back in Columbus,” Biden replied. “I was in Columbus, actually now it’s about literally 35 days or so ago, I came through on a whistle-stop on a train.” The actual whistle-stop event in Ohio, however, was 146 days ago on September 30, and it was in Cleveland, Ohio, not Columbus. Biden’s campaign whistle-stop tour began in Cleveland and stopped in Alliance, Ohio, but never stopped in Columbus, Ohio, according to the schedule. From Alliance, the train tour went on to Pittsburgh and other Pennsylvania cities. Biden did campaign Columbus on March 10, 2020, but not as part of his whistle-stop train tour. “I like Columbus,” Biden continued, adding that even though he was a Democrat, he liked Republican Gov. Mike Dewine’s efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the United States. “I don’t think there’s anything political about this. Some folks are just stepping up and he stepped up in my impression.” He said he hoped that he could visit Columbus again soon. Seems Biden had many, many, campaign events that you lied and said he had none. Hmmm....

  3642.  @kevinanderson1801  Speaking of clowns, isn't it clownish for a majority of the black race to willing allow themselves to be enslaved, by their original oppressors, the democrat party? This was easily accomplished via the democratic plantations located in urban jungles in every large urban area across this nation. Some of your race, merely, replaced their shackles with free rent, free food, and free medical. Your race was freed from slavery by Republicans. You can continue to believe whatever you choose, ranting hysterically, about oppression, while embracing your oppressors, through the effects of the Stockholm syndrome, you are suffering from. You can also belittle anyone who disagrees with your opinions. Facts do not care about your opinions or emotions. The fact remains the Republican party has done more to help blacks gain equal rights, equal treatment under the law,and equal employment opportunities. Meanwhile, some blacks willing allow their enslavers, the DNC, to control every aspect of their lives. I must also point out your hypocrisy. By threatening to enslave the white race, you yourself, do not feel slavery is unjust, wrong, or a crime against humanity. You simply want to subject others to what you clearly claim to be a victim of. So, by your own words, you feel slavery is OK. The real issue is victimhood, and your ability to BMW about mistreatment, real and/or imaginary, yet you state victimization of others is acceptable. The ability to reason with irrational people, such as yourself, is diminished by their inability to recognize their own hypocrisy.

  3669. Federalist Papers No. 10 AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a wellconstructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail, therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it. The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations. The valuable improvements made by the American constitutions on the popular models, both ancient and modern, cannot certainly be too much admired; but it would be an unwarrantable partiality, to contend that they have as effectually obviated the danger on this side, as was wished and expected. Complaints are everywhere heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable, that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority. However anxiously we may wish that these complaints had no foundation, the evidence, of known facts will not permit us to deny that they are in some degree true. It will be found, indeed, on a candid review of our situation, that some of the distresses under which we labor have been erroneously charged on the operation of our governments; but it will be found, at the same time, that other causes will not alone account for many of our heaviest misfortunes; and, particularly, for that prevailing and increasing distrust of public engagements, and alarm for private rights, which are echoed from one end of the continent to the other. These must be chiefly, if not wholly, effects of the unsteadiness and injustice with which a factious spirit has tainted our public administrations.

  3670. By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community. There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects. There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one, by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests. It could never be more truly said than of the first remedy, that it was worse than the disease. Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency. The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties.

  3734. The Green New Deal would drive a stake through the heart of our nation’s economy. The cost is staggering,  if fully implemented, the proposal would cost up to $93 trillion over the next decade. That’s more than 90 percent of the combined wealth of all American households. It would cost every American family as much as $65,000 per year — more than the average household makes in a year. One of the key tenets of this proposal is a mandate to move to 100 percent renewable energy. Doing so would eliminate abundant, affordable and reliable energy that currently powers three out of five U.S. homes. Even if it were possible — and it isn’t — the massive costs would be passed directly to consumers in the form of higher electricity and heating bills. One estimate concludes that households could see their energy bills spike by as much as $3,800 a year. Eliminating American production of coal, natural gas and oil would be a big mistake. We’d still need these sources of energy, meaning we would become dependent on the rest of the world. Solar and wind power provide 8 % of our electricity. We should continue to increase use of renewables, but there are times the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shome. The Green New Deal would be a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin, weakening our economy and making us dependent on foreign energy. Instead, we should support more American innovation. The earth’s climate is changing and it requires a global solution. In 2017, America generated just 13 % of global emissions. China and India produced 34 percent. We must continue to develop and deploy innovative and reliable clean energy solutions around the world. In the past year, Congress passed laws to support advanced nuclear power and carbon-capture technologies. Clean, reliable nuclear power currently provides 63% of American emission free energy. Carbon capture is a cutting-edge technology that can even remove carbon directly from the air, while developing construction and medical uses for it. American innovation holds the key to reducing emissions, not unworkable and unaffordable proposals like the Green New Deal. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/03/04/green-new-deal-unworkable-unaffordable-john-barrasso-editorials-debates/3060139002/

  3844. Biden is racing at blinding speed to destroy every vestige of our representative republic. He’s attempting to undo American accountability in elections through his support of HR1. He’s attempting to undo our economic foundations with massive printing (read that: devaluing) of our currency. He’s attempting to destroy free enterprise and job growth with coming massive tax increases. He’s attempting to take away individual liberties with proposed mask mandates, and desired lockdowns. He supports any attempt to end the Senate filibuster—in order to push through horrific laws by the thinnest margins ever attempted. He’s attempting to overwhelm our security at our borders by encouraging 100’s of 1000’s of unverifiable persons of unknown origins to cross our borders without scrutiny nor penalty. He wants the police weakened. He is pledging to take guns away from law abiding owners. And he wants to pervert the justice system so dramatically that the Constitution becomes diluted and unrecognizable. His latest strategic ploy- Biden officially commenced a process to attempt to “reform the Supreme Court.” His basis for why? Because the judicial system is “out of whack.” Which I can only presume is very technical language for, “my executive orders appear to be headed for trouble once they are challenged.” This is a legitimate worry to someone who is illegitimately writing laws as a dictator and expecting the plebs to kneel in obedience. One of his predecessor’s most pronounced accomplishments was placing hundreds of originalist jurists at every level of the federal courts.

  4041.  @Bhubnipz  Apparently you have poor reading comprehension. Try reading it again. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration has blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and is historically inaccurate. The state education department rejected the program in a letter last week to the College Board, which oversees AP classes. Florida education officials did not specify exactly what content the state found objectionable but said, “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.” "In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, (the education department) will always be willing to reopen the discussion," the letter continued. In a statement, the College Board said, “Like all new AP courses, AP African American Studies is undergoing a rigorous, multi-year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars and policymakers.” “The process of piloting and revising course frameworks is a standard part of any new AP course, and frameworks often change significantly as a result,” the statement read. 1. This class violates Florida state law.. 2. This class significantly lacks educational value. 3. In the future, should the college board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, (the Florida Education department will always be willing to reopen the discussion. 4. Read how the College board explains how this is a pilot course. As per usual, will be revised according to feed back received. 5.They have received feed back and are unwilling to make any changes at this time.

  4099.  @willybones3890  Socialism is a mere stepping stone into Communism. Q & A 1. What is the difference between Democratic Socialism and Socialism? A. Socialism= when the government takes over the means of production and distribution of goods and redistributes the wealth, by giving away free stuff. Democratic Socialism= when the government takes over the people's profits through taxes and redistributes the wealth, by giving away free stuff. These are the same. The only difference being, in Democratic Socialism people choose Democratic Socialism instead of being forced into it. Similar to the difference between suicide and murder. 2. Where has Socialism ever worked? A. Nowhere. Every where it has been tried, Socialism has brought Oppression, Starvation, and death. 3. Who pays for the free stuff? A. First they tax the Rich. Next they tax the kind of Rich. Then they tax the middle class. Then we are all equal, equally poor and the government is in control of all your money. 4. What will stop Democratic Socialism from turning into full blown Socialism? A. NOTHING. There is no identifiable line or mark on the continuum of Socialism, from moving from one end of the spectrum to the other. Once you give government the power; to take your money and give it to someone else, the power to tell you what to do, the power to tell us what our fair share is, it is just a matter of time until it is full blown Socialism. 5. Why would we want that here, in these United States? A. In the last 100 years, 100 million people have been killed by Socialistic regimes and governments. Socialism is the deadliest ideology the world has ever known. Biden/Harris and the democrat majority in Congress are selling America into Socialism. They must be stopped, before the daily damage they are inflicting is too massive to recover from.

  4115. @Duane W You see, despite successfully making payouts to retired workers for 80 years and counting, Social Security is in some pretty big trouble. According to the 2019 report from the Social Security Board of Trustees, the program is facing an estimated $13.9 trillion cash shortfall between 2035 and 2093. If lawmakers on Capitol Hill don't resolve this cash deficit, benefit cuts of up to 23% could soon be passed along to retired workers. Biden has threatened to cut Social Security throughout his tenure in Congress. Biden's previous actions suggest Social Security cuts aren't completely off the table Though I believe it's fair to consider that Biden's views on a number of topics have evolved over time, including Social Security, he's also had a number of instances where he's been implicated with direct or indirect cuts to the Social Security program. For example, in 1995, while speaking to members of Congress, then-Senator Biden suggested the idea of freezing Social Security's outlays (this is the clip being played in Sanders' tweet). Here's the full citation of what Biden had to say on the Senate floor: "For example, I'm going to go on record. I'm up for re-election this year, and I'm going to remind everybody what I did at home, which is going to cost me politically. When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well. I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government. And I not only tried it once -- I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time. Somebody has to tell me in here how we're going to do this hard work without dealing with any of those sacred cows, some deserving more protection than others." Biden now denies making this speech. Furthermore, according to a report from NBC News in 2007, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden was willing to consider a bipartisan solution to resolve Social Security's imminent cash shortfall. This meant being open to the idea of gradually raising the full retirement age, or the age at which a retiree becomes eligible to receive their full monthly payout from Social Security. Biden also played an instrumental role in the payroll-tax holiday that was passed along toward the beginning of the previous decade. As the lead negotiator between Democrats and Republicans at the congressional level, Biden helped orchestrate a two-year holiday in payroll tax collection that saved taxpayers $112 billion. However, in the process, he also cost the Social Security program the same amount of much-needed revenue, despite ongoing warnings from the trustees' report about insufficient revenue over the long run (75 years).

  4214. GNF timeline ten years to destroy America. GND goals: Ban affordable energy. GND calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, the lifeblood of American industry and life, which includes not only all oil but also natural gas — one of the cheapest sources of American energy, and one of the reasons the United States has been able to lead the world in carbon-emissions reduction. Eliminate nuclear energy. The GND also calls for eliminating all nuclear power, one of the only productive and somewhat affordable “clean” energy sources available to us, in 11 years. This move would purge around 20 percent of American energy generation so you can rely on intermittent wind for your energy needs. Eliminate 99 percent of cars. To be fair, under the GND, everyone will need to retrofit their cars with Flintstones-style foot holes or pedals for cycling. The authors state that the GND would like to replace every “combustion-engine vehicle” — trucks, airplanes, boats, and 99 percent of cars — within ten years. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be built “everywhere,” though how power plants will provide the energy needed to charge them is a mystery. Gut and rebuild every building in America. Markey and Cortez want to “retrofit every building in America” with “state of the art energy efficiency.” I repeat, “every building in America.” That includes every home, factory, and apartment building, which will all need, for starters, to have their entire working heating and cooling systems ripped out and replaced with…well, with whatever technology Democrats are going invent in their committee hearings, I guess. Eliminate air travel. GND calls for building out “highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Good luck Hawaii! California’s high-speed boondoggle is already in $100 billion dollars of debt, and looks to be one of the state’s biggest fiscal disasters ever. Amtrak runs billions of dollars in the red (though, as we’ll see, trains that run on fossil fuels will also be phased out). Imagine growing that business model out to every state in America? A government-guaranteed job. The bill promises the United States government will provide every single American with a job that includes a “family-sustaining wage, family and medical leave, vacations, and a pension.” You can imagine that those left in the private sector would be funding these through some unspecified “massive” taxation. On the bright side, when you’re foraging for food, your savings will be worthless. Free education for life. GND promises free college or trade schools for every American. A salubrious diet. The GND promises the government will provide “healthy food” to every American (because there are no beans or lettuce in your local supermarket, I guess). A house. The GND promises that the government will provide, “safe, affordable, adequate housing” for every American citizen. I call dibs on an affordable Adams Morgan townhouse. Thank you, Ocasio-Cortez. Free money. The GND aims to provide, and I am not making this up, “economic security” for all who are “unable or unwilling” to work. Just to reiterate: if you’re unwilling to work, the rest of us will have your back. Bonus insanity: Ban meat. Ocasio-Cortez admits that we can’t get zero emissions in 10 years “because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” The only way to get rid of farting cows is to get rid of beef.

  4519. Ian Sams, spokesperson for the White House impeachment war room, wrote a letter to be sent to news organizations such as The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News and others, CNN first reported. "It's time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies," Sams wrote, according to the letter. In the letter, Sams said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should "set off alarm bells for news networks." "This is not OK," journalist Matthew Keys tweeted. "The White House should not be encouraging, influencing or interfering in the editorial strategies of America's newsrooms, including CNN and the New York Times." "Now, any time the media DOES try to hold Republican lawmakers to account, those lawmakers can simply counter by questioning whether it's actual journalism or something encouraged by the Biden administration," Keys wrote. "All this demonstrates is that the Biden administration has lost confidence in the news media – which I guess mirrors public sentiment over the last few years, too." "The problem is they're trying to influence coverage. The government should never do that. It is inappropriate," Keys wrote. McCarthy on Tuesday said the House Oversight Committee's investigation found a "culture of corruption" around the Biden family as Republicans probe the business dealings of Biden's son, Hunter Biden, from before the Democrat took office. "These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives," McCarthy said. "That's why today I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden."

  4551.  @plandemicnineteen2059  Your problem is, your lack of ability to read and comprehend the meaning of the words you have read. I will reiterate my post, adding more from the D of I. Try understanding how incomprehensive of it's meaning, your statement is..... OMG dude.... 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

  4581. U.S. inflation is now higher than abroad One way to illustrate what has happened with U.S. inflation is to compare it with the average rate of inflation across a group of OECD economies: Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. We rely on core inflation measures, which remove the more volatile food and energy prices. To align with what is available in all the countries in our study, we use consumer price index (CPI) inflation instead of the personal consumption expenditures price index, the preferred measure of inflation used by the Federal Reserve. The blue line in Figure 1 displays the year-over-year percent changes in U.S. core CPI inflation. The figure also shows the median (red line) and the range between the 25% and 75% largest values (also known as the interquartile range and shown by the shaded area) of inflation for our OECD sample. A tighter range indicates that most OECD countries in our sample experienced inflation rates similar to each other. The figure shows that, before the pandemic, U.S. core CPI inflation remained, on average, about 1 percentage point above the OECD sample average. The small difference between U.S. and OECD inflation during this period is well known as many of the OECD countries struggled to get inflation up to target following the Global Financial Crisis and subsequent euro-area sovereign debt crisis. By early 2021, however, U.S. inflation increasingly diverged from the other countries. U.S. core CPI grew from below 2% to above 4% and stayed elevated throughout 2021. In contrast, our OECD sample average increased at a more gradual rate from around 1% to 2.5% by the end of 2021. These differences in inflation readings cannot be explained by measurement issues.

  4752. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration has blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and is historically inaccurate. The state education department rejected the program in a letter last week to the College Board, which oversees AP classes. Florida education officials did not specify exactly what content the state found objectionable but said, “As presented, the content of this course is inexplicably contrary to Florida law and significantly lacks educational value.” “In the future, should College Board be willing to come back to the table with lawful, historically accurate content, (the education department) will always be willing to reopen the discussion," the letter continued. Get South Florida local news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox. Sign up for NBC South Florida newsletters. In a statement, the College Board said, “Like all new AP courses, AP African American Studies is undergoing a rigorous, multi-year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars and policymakers.” “The process of piloting and revising course frameworks is a standard part of any new AP course, and frameworks often change significantly as a result,” the statement read. This is from NBC 6 South Florida. You can read the entire article on their website. Please do. This will help straighten things up for you. Sadly, you seem a bit confused. I'm always glad to be of help in educating the ignorant souls, in need of factual information.

  4784. When it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness – keeping his promises – Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do. Trump kept his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something his three immediate predecessors also promised yet failed to do. He promised to “crush and destroy ISIS,” and two years later he is on the verge of eliminating the Islamic State’s physical caliphate. He promised to impose a travel ban on countries that he saw as posing a terrorist threat, and after several false starts the final version of his ban was upheld by the Supreme Court. He promised to punish Syria if it used chemical weapons on its people, and, unlike his immediate predecessor, he followed through – not once but twice. Trump pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices “in the mold of Justice [Antonin] Scalia,” and now Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the high court. Trump also pledged to fill the federal appellate courts with young, conservative judges, and so far the Senate has confirmed 29 – more than any recent president at this point in his administration. Trump vowed to pass historic tax reforms, and signed the first major overhaul of the tax code in three decades. He vowed an unprecedented regulatory rollback, with a strict policy to eliminate two existing regulations for every new regulation. In his first year, he achieved $8.1 billion in lifetime regulatory savings and is on track to achieve an additional $9.8 billion this year.  During the campaign, he told African American voters, “What do you have to lose? … I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back.” On his watch, African American unemployment reached the lowest level ever recorded, and his tax reform included a little-noticed provision creating “Opportunity Zones” to try to revitalize struggling towns and inner-city communities.  Trump promised to cancel President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, approve the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration. He fulfilled all of those pledges. On trade, he kept his promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. He also committed to renegotiating NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement – and recently signed new deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea. He committed to imposing tariffs on China to force it to open its markets and stop its theft of intellectual property - and is following through on that pledge. Whatever one thinks of Trump’s trade policies, he is doing exactly what he said. The president pledged historic increases in defense spending, and delivered. He pledged to bring back manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in more than two decades. He pledged to sign “Right to Try” legislation to give dying Americans access to experimental treatments, and did. He pledged to take on the opioid epidemic, and will soon sign a sweeping bipartisan opioids package into law.  Where Trump has failed to keep promises, such as building the wall or repealing Obamacare, it has not been for a lack of trying.

  4787.  @MikeW165  Press ReleasePublished: Mar 30, 2023 Wrap-Up: President Biden’s Unprecedented Assault on American Energy Increased Costs on American Consumers and Businesses WASHINGTON—The Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs held a hearing yesterday titled “Fueling Unaffordability: How the Biden Administration’s Policies Catalyzed Global Energy Scarcity and Compounded Inflation.” At the hearing, subcommittee members identified how the Biden Administration’s war on domestic energy production suppressed U.S. production and drove increased fuel costs and inflation. Key Takeaways: President Biden has conducted an unprecedented assault on our nation’s ability to produce energy by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline, implementing a moratorium on oil and gas production on federal lands, draining U.S. oil reserves, and enacting energy policies that increased costs for Americans and killed thousands of high-paying American jobs. In his opening testimony, Dr. Oliver McPherson-Smith, Director for Energy, Trade, and Environmental Policy at the American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research said, “Since January 2021, the Federal Executive Branch of government has sought to inhibit and disincentivize the domestic production and refining of fossil fuels.” Americans with low, middle, and fixed incomes suffer the most under high inflation and the Administration’s war on domestic energy production. “Since January 2021, President Biden and Democrats in Congress have taken over 125 actions aimed at shutting out the use and development of the very energy resources we need more of, not less. Suppressing domestic supply and setting America on a path towards energy scarcity has exacerbated inflation and made costs skyrocket,” testified Mandy Gunasekara, Director at the Center for Energy & Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum in her opening statement. “Low-income Americans are the hardest hit by high energy prices. They’re being forced to choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table.” By suppressing U.S. energy production, the Biden Administration left American energy prices vulnerable to a global energy shortage. “The absence of [Strategic Petroleum Reserve] oil left the American economy and American families vulnerable to international oil market fluctuations,” said Dr. McPherson-Smith.

  5328. CASE PREVIEW Supreme Court to decide whether insurrection provision keeps Trump off ballot By Amy Howe The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Thursday in what is shaping up to be the biggest election case since its ruling nearly 25 years ago in Bush v. Gore. At issue is whether former President Donald Trump, who is once again the front runner for the Republican nomination for president, can be excluded from the ballot because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol. Although the question comes to the court in a case from Colorado, the impact of the court’s ruling could be much more far-reaching. Maine’s secretary of state ruled in December that Trump should be taken off the primary ballot there, and challenges to Trump’s eligibility are currently pending in 11 other states. Trump warns that the efforts to keep him off the ballot “threaten to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans.” History behind the case The dispute hinges on the interpretation of a relatively obscure provision of the Constitution: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which (as relevant in this case) provides that no one “shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State,” if that person had previously sworn, “as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States” to support the U.S. Constitution but then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the federal government. Enacted in the wake of the Civil War, Section 3 was intended to disqualify individuals who had served in the federal (or state) government before the Civil War and had sworn to uphold the Constitution but then supported the Confederacy. The bar on service can only be overcome by a two-thirds vote of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Although Section 3 lay dormant for much of its history, there was renewed interest in it after the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol. Efforts to rely on Section 3 to disqualify officials for their role in the attacks have been met with varying degrees of success. In 2022, Georgia officials rebuffed a challenge to U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s eligibility. A state administrative law judge agreed that Greene’s “heated rhetoric may well have contributed to the environment that ultimately led to” the attack on the Capitol, but he concluded that she had not engaged in an insurrection. Earlier efforts to keep Trump off the ballot fell short. In Nov. 2023, for example, the Minnesota Supreme Court threw out an attempt to remove Trump from that state’s ballot. It left the door open, however, for the challengers to try to have Trump excluded from the general election ballot after the primaries. And on Dec. 27, the Michigan Supreme Court declined to review a lower-court decision that allowed Trump to appear on the state’s primary ballot. As in Minnesota, the lower court’s ruling does not foreclose a new challenge to Trump’s appearance on the general election ballot. The case now before the Supreme Court was the first one to hold that Trump was disqualified from appearing on the ballot in 2024. It was filed in early September 2023 by six Colorado residents eligible to vote in that state’s Republican primary. After a five-day trial, a Colorado trial court agreed that Trump engaged in insurrection but concluded that Section 3 does not apply to the president. Specifically, it concluded, the presidency is not an “office … under the United States,” and the president is not an “officer of the United States.” In a ruling on Dec. 19, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is ineligible to be president under Section 3, and it barred the Colorado secretary of state, Jena Griswold, from listing him on the primary ballot. But the state supreme court put its ruling on hold to give the Supreme Court time to weigh in, leaving Trump on the ballot for now. Both Trump and the Colorado Republican Party came to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to review the state supreme court’s ruling. The U.S. Supreme Court granted Trump’s petition for review on Jan. 5 and scheduled oral argument for Feb. 8 – a time when the justices would otherwise be in the middle of their winter recess. Trump's lawyer advances a barrage of different challenges, several of them based on the text of Section 3, to the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling. Trump will remain on the ballot if the Supreme Court agrees with any of these arguments. The voters urge the justices to uphold the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision . “Officer of the United States” Trump’s first, and main, argument is that Section 3 does not apply to him because the president is not an “officer of the United States.” In other provisions of the Constitution where the phrase “officer of the United States” appears, Trump notes, it does not apply to the president – for example, the clause that requires the president to “Commission all the Officers of the United States” and the impeachment clause, which lists the president and vice president separately from “civil Officers of the United States.” Moreover, Trump adds, the Supreme Court in 2010 indicated that the phrase applies only to federal officials who are appointed; it does not extend to elected officials like the president. The voters dismiss this argument, countering that the president has been called the “chief executive officer of the United States” since long before the 14th Amendment was drafted. As with the phrase “office under the United States,” they say, Section 3 simply uses the phrase “of the United States” to distinguish between federal offices, such as the presidency, and state officers. The voters also discount Trump’s reliance on other provisions of the Constitution. They note that although the appointments clause requires the president to appoint some “officers of the United States,” it also indicates that the Constitution provides for the appointment of other “officers of the United States” – including the president and vice president – by the electoral college. And the impeachment clause, they reason, provides for the impeachment of the president and vice president separately from “all civil Officers of the United States” because (unlike other officials) the president and vice president play both civil and military roles. Section 3 also does not apply to him, Trump continues, because when he is sworn in the president pledges to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution” – rather than “support” it, as Section 3 requires. The voters contend, however, that “Section 3 is about violation of a sworn duty, not about pedantic wordplay.” The oath that the president takes to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution is an oath to support the Constitution, they insist. The voters add that an interpretation of Section 3 that excludes the president, while still applying to all other officials – including “postmaster or county sheriff” – who took an oath to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection would be at odds with the purpose of the provision. Moreover, they suggest, it would be an exception that would apply only to Trump, because “every other President (except, of course, George Washington) had previously sworn a constitutional oath in some other federal or state capacity.” Trump pushes back against any suggestion that it would be inconsistent with the purpose of Section 3 to hold that the president falls outside its scope. When the 14th Amendment was ratified, he contends, there weren’t any former presidents who had supported the Confederacy, so the drafters would not have had any reason to exclude the president from serving again. Whether Trump “engaged in insurrection” Although Trump had contended in an earlier brief that Jan. 6 was not an “insurrection,” he now argues only that Section 3 does not apply to him because he himself did not “engage in” insurrection. Trump never told his supporters to enter the Capitol on Jan. 6, he says, nor did he lead or encourage any of the violence that occurred there that day. To the contrary, he emphasizes, in his remarks at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, he told the crowd to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” and “support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement.” Trump adds that even if he didn’t respond when rioters entered the Capitol, that is not, by itself, “engaging” in insurrection. Moreover, he notes, although he has been the subject of several investigations since 2021, he has never been charged with insurrection.

  5336.  @sharonsmelser2491  Ma'am I have been taught to respect my elders. Yet, your self righteous, know it all, rigid, condescending mentality, make that extremely hard. Your consistent wrongful assumptions or inability to comprehend the content, facts, and truthfulness of statements that disagree with your opinions is glaring proof of your own Dunning Kruger effect affliction. I never accused you of age related dysfunction, proof positive of your wrongful assumptions, and victim mentality. Another wrongful assumption you continue to embrace, is your opinion that the factual history I cited, to disprove your untruthful statements, is alternative history. You also fail to comprehend the Democrat vs. Republican debate, you say I created, and say you never initiated is also untruthful. Again, the Dem vs Rep references were required to offset your untruthful, and highly opinioned statements, only. It would be a good idea for you to review the conversations in this thread. BC your perception of them are severely skewed, and biased. Your insistence that I insulted you, and that I have difficulty recognizing my flawed behavior is also highly questionable. I have shown you much more respect than you deserve, for the cringe worthy manner of your own conduct. Also, I told you to mute me if you found me offensive. You did not. You merely continue to criticize, falsely claiming to be insulted. Ma'am you have mistaken me for someone who has mistreated you. I have not. I believe you enjoy insulting others and hold anyone with a differing opinion in contempt. Also, your inability to stay on topic, is frustrating.

  5514.  @chrisc9611  I believe it can be considered a democracy. And here is why -American constitutional design can best be understood as an effort to establish a sober form of democracy. It did so by embracing representation, the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the protection of individual rights—all concepts that were unknown in the ancient world where democracy had earned its poor reputation. In “Federalist No. 10” and “Federalist No. 51,” the seminal papers, Madison argued that a large republic with a diversity of interests capped by the separation of powers and checks and balances would help provide the solution to the ills of popular government. In a large and diverse society, populist passions are likely to dissipate, as no single group can easily dominate. If such intemperate passions come from a minority of the population, the “Republican principlere,” by which Madison meant majority rule, will allow the defeat of “sinister views by regular votes.” More problematic are passionate groups that come together as a majority. The large republic with a diversity of interests makes this unlikely, particularly when its separation of powers works to filter and tame such passions by incentivizing the development of complex Democratic majorities: “In the extended republic of the United States, and among the great variety of interests, parties, and sects which it embraces, a coalition of a majority of the whole society could seldom take place on any other principles than those of justice and the general good.” Madison had previewed this argument at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 using the term democracy, arguing that a diversity of interests was “the only defense against the inconveniences of democracy consistent with the democratic form of government.”

  5563.  @chuck2502  ?? I didn't make fun of Biden in my post on this thread. You are just one more delusional Democrat, in a very long line of them. Herschel Walker is a wonderful candidate. He has earned the respect of millions of Americans, because of his decision to reach out to mental health experts in his time of need . Herschel Walker told a crowd of Veterans and VA employees that he initially thought you were less of a person if you sought help for mental illness. Sharing how he changed this perception with the help of a great doctor, after he signed himself in to a hospital. How he realized his life was on a bad course, and he needed help. “If you’re struggling, you’re not alone,” Walker said. “If you’re hurting, don’t be ashamed. I’m not ashamed.” Walker said he felt a kindred spirit with Veterans and service members having had military aspirations when he was younger. He has shared his experience with Veterans and active-duty personal at more than 160 military and VA installations. “Life is not easy, but if you keep looking up, I can promise you that you will get through,” he said. “You will get knocked down, but you must get back up. Batman, Superman and the Hulk don’t exist, but you do. You put it on the line. You’re the real heroes.” For general information about the mental health services provided by VA, visit your local VA medical center or Vet Center. Mental illness affects 1 in 6 people across this nation. Herschel has worked hard to increase, awareness about the need for mental health care to be easier to access for those who need this type of help. He has destigmatized this issue.

  5600.  @jonnybaze7449  I would like to share an article that was broadcast in 1963 that concisely explains the actions of the DNC perhaps you are familiar with it, Paul Harvey's "If I Were The Devil.PAUL HARVEY’S ‘IF I WERE THE DEVIL’ TRANSCRIPT If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of it’s real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’ “To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’ “And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. “If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. “Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle. “If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And what do you bet? I couldn’t get whole states to promote gambling as thee way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work, in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing on what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.” "
