  1. And that's why that gal still has her job.

  2. To the best of my understanding, the US Navy always has some portion of our Trident submarines at sea and ready to launch SLBMs. These missiles have considerable range, allowing the submarines to station themselves in very secluded parts of the oceans and evade detection. The notion of putting Trident submarines "off the coast" of an adversary risks making those submarines more vulnerable to the adversary's ASW capabilities, perhaps seriously reducing their ability to keep launching missiles because in doing so they have revealed their location. Maybe a President talking about the submarines has some deterrent effect, but our adversaries already know that some are out there. Saying "off the coast", to me reveals a misunderstanding of Trident deployments. The way to put more pressure on an adversary is for them to realize that the US Navy has increased the percentage of its Trident fleet that is deployed. I have no doubt Russian and Chinese naval intelligence maintains awareness of Trident submarines being in port or not. Whether a President talks about the deployed Trident fleet is a diplomatic decision.

  3. It's another thing you don't have to worry about anymore. Ukraine is none of America's business anymore.

  4. No. Look at the walls the Israelis build. Those are serious walls.

  7. Don't need to balance it, but it's a good thing to do now and then. It's OK for the government to borrow for the purchase of long-term assets. That's like getting a mortgage for a house. But operations need to be paid for as they happen.

  8.  @MiamiVisor  Part of the push to expand early child care is to offset some of the family environment issues that aggravate conduct disorder in a child. See videos about neurologist James Fallon.

  9. We can't entertain anyone's opinion, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and are strangers to the truth.  What you can do, is act justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

  10. I live in Florida. I have lived in Illinois and California as well. Each has its pros and cons. Florida has beautiful weather most of the year no matter who is governor. That attracts prosperous retirees from all over the country, and that sector of the economy may only be rivaled by states such as Arizona, or, yup, California. Florida does have places of scenic beauty, but Yosemite Park in California is something I wish every American could visit. The Illinois I knew had the best schools of the three states. Chicago is a world class city with a lifetime's worth of things to see and do. The farmland is among America's best. The people and commerce I knew were strong and sophisticated. State government is probably the most corrupt of the three, but I was very close to local government, and it was as accountable as any I see in the other two states. I don't get this claim of freedom about COVID countermeasures. People in my church died. Business associates died. There are (and were) a lot of older and vulnerable people here who really had to isolate themselves from the "freedom loving". Is "love your neighbor as yourself" still a value here? Obviously not for a lot of people. Florida's performance on protecting its people from COVID was average. Nobody likes to be told what to do most of the time, but COVID was, and to an extent remains, a subject where one should not just think of themselves, but of the very survival of those around them. That's a part of being pro-life. I am an American, and a veteran, and I am not into too much badmouthing of other States upon which we have built a great nation. Competition and constructive criticism between States can be healthy and productive, but our safety and prosperity rely upon a union of States.

  11. Jesus said we all have a plank in our own eye. I am willing to overlook the specks in Russia's eye. I am not willing to overlook the plank in Putin's eye that is his invasion of Ukraine.

  12. It's Fox News. Ask them if they care.

  13. The Biden administration's policy, stated by Lloyd Austin in early 2022, was to weaken Russia. And that's what has happened. And Putin is stubborn enough to continue down that road.

  14. No Nobel Prize for Donny Trump.

  15. Well said. Most Americans need the cash today. It's just that the wealthy pay most of the taxes, so they expect most of the rebate. Unless Congress agrees to make the distribution "progressive", then those who pay the most get the most back. The wealthy would see a progressive rebate as another case of themselves subsidizing lower income citizens. It would be more dignified if they designed more productive jobs and paid more for those jobs. That's actually a challenging thing to do that sometimes questions the merit of their own compensation.

  16. Sir, the American military would have difficulty achieving its recruitment goals if it did not allow women to serve. That is part of why Mattis was hesitant to exclude transgender members of the military. What you would seem to prefer is an optimized military of drafted male athletes with high aptitude. That could be a better force if those chosen can bring themselves to accept the imposition upon their lives. Did you serve, sir? I did. Within the spectrum of those who meet entrance standards lies a wide variety of folks. Some are outstanding, most do their job at a good level and with pride, and some take awhile to kick out or put in jail. It's a very human institution.

  19. On Tucker's immigration comment on undermining American labor:  Profit focused companies that can't move low-cost labor into the country transfer operations outside the country when they can.  And they have the money to influence Congress.  Populist statements about immigration can win elections.  Lobbyists write the laws and buy the votes to get them passed.  I would love to hear Tucker talk about prospects of a Trump administration prevailing over corporate leadership on sorting this out with high tariffs.  Should be easy to make a more realistic corporate-friendly deal.  Democrats are not even in the room any more.  It's the voters that will need to be distracted with a "diversion" from the actual results of any immigration legislation, and there appears to be very good money in the "diversion" business, the persistence of Fox being a prime piece of evidence.

  30. More cheap labor. The border is a racket. The wall is a joke for profit. Wins votes for the people making money on the system. No reason to solve the problem after getting the votes.

  31. Unsupported thesis. I am not persuaded of your point of view.

  32. No. Republicans would have to find another way to get millions of votes. Businesses would have to pay more for scarce labor. The border is a racket.

  33. Driving the Russians out of Ukraine does not remove Russia's ability to strike Ukraine from within Russian borders. Israel's Iron Dome does not stop every incoming missile. Ukraine is much larger than Israel. This just goes on and on until Putin dies of old age and maybe someone there takes his place with a more moderate objective. Ukraine needs precision SRBMs and cruise missiles to strike back at Russian military targets that fire upon Ukraine.

  34. The weather is mild this time of year on the southern border. These wisely did not risk the heat of the summer.

  35. Wow! If we are free to stop vaccinating people the transportation system can be used to spread all kinds of deadly and disabling diseases all over the world. That's your religion? Look man, maybe you would rather leave the cockpit door open like in the good old days, but you are going to lock it, right? You can adjust, right? Because some people feel freedom means taking you out and flying your plane into a building. 700,000 dead Americans is not any kind of religious matter to you? Not sure I want to ride on your plane.

  36. These guys walked in under "the wall". Any warranty on this wall? We paid for this wall. Need a better wall design.

  37. This problem is good for millions of votes every election, which is why the problem will not be solved. I mean, these guys got through the wall everybody thought would solve the problem. Now the contractors get to make another round of profits on the next wall design that might not work either. The border is a racket.

  38. Sir, not all military aircraft are high intensity fighter aircraft pulling hi-G's. Given the substantial investment in pilot training, it makes sense for the military to extend the period of time that female pilots can conduct such missions as flying C-5's, C-17's, E-3's, E-8's, RC-135's, KC-67's, and others.

  39. They work for green card subcontractors who provide citizen contractors with fixed price contracts for services. All the risk is on the green card subcontractor, who was an immigrant themselves. The border is a racket that generates fear and votes for the very party that wants that cheap labor. The problem is not meant to be solved as long as it brings in the votes.

  42. Wait! Rebuild America in a way that reduces crime? That sounds like a broadly defined infrastructure program. Who doesn't want that? Thank you for interviewing the representative of El Salvador's elite. Glad to hear that everything there is fine now. Will he be taking all his citizens back from America now? No? You didn't ask that question? Man if you had got him on video saying all the Salvadorans in America could return home, you could run for President and win! And then you could ask the heads of Honduras and Guatemala and Mexico to invite all their expatriates to come home! You'd get two terms for that! What a lost opportunity! How did you not see it? Yup, using "Defund the Police" as a hyperbolic negotiating slogan somehow and strangely results in common folk getting their noses rubbed in crime. If you are not elite, then don't use hyperbole or even comic sarcasm, because the elite will find a way to rub your nose in it. Know your place in this country people. Tucker will tell you what that is.

  43. Let the heads of foreign affairs work this out.

  44. The border is a racket. Brings in cheap labor. Generates fear so people vote for the business party that wants the cheap labor. Banks skim the money wired home. The problem is not meant to be solved. The problem is a winning campaign issue.

  46. If a problem wins votes every election, then why get rid of the problem?

  47. That's always a good idea. If a person makes less than a reasonable cost of living, they should not have any federal income tax withheld from their paycheck. It's that way for really poor folks, but as an employer I see the tax charts require too many working folks to pay income tax. Social Security and Medicare taxes? Well, if they live to benefit age they will be very glad to have whatever they get from that, especially the Medicare. Medicare for all.

  48. American employers pay a bit better than the employers back home. A lot of cash under the table. The border is a racket that imports cheap labor and wins the votes of the fearful.

  49. And the Chairman didn't know about what the Colonel said his option was? The Chairman thought things were very bad. People like Trump do not handle loss like a good sportsman. This is very understood among people who study people like Trump.

  50. Nooooooo! It's not divided equally among taxpayers. It's divided proportionally, so the wealthy, who pay most of the taxes, get most of the rebate. The wealthy see that as justice.

  52. That's what I felt when I saw them going over that wall some Americans were chanting for. The border is a racket.

  53. "News"? Really? If your education and family did not equip you to identify hyperbole, the biased use of adjectives and adverbs, the absence of conscience in some people, and the fundamental tools with which to evaluate the integrity of anyone you are dealing with, then you need to go get those tools. Private media corporations will always be about the money. That is not going to change. Even NPR and PBS, still perhaps the most "journalistic" of major media outlets, are influenced by private money. The United States is held together by the credit worthiness of the Federal government which borrows absurd amounts of money each year to prop up the economy, and the deep desire of corporations to have open borders between the States for the smooth exercise of their commerce. Throw in the English language and you have the basic components of unity: the necessity of commerce for survival and the ability to communicate in trade. We have seen a rather tentative respect for the Constitution. I never expect private media to reform. I take everything they say as biased, and I don't need them to be otherwise. I dig for facts elsewhere.

  54. What is an acceptable level of federal government annual borrowing? I would say it is the amount it spends in a year on new long-term assets. Amortizing those assets makes sense in that the benefits are realized over time and thus should be paid for over time. No borrowing should be done for the cost of annual government operations. The DOGE has to find annual savings in the amount of the difference between future budget deficits and the acceptable level of government annual borrowing. Unlike an individual, the government does not need to balance its budget every year, although doing so some of the time can maintain the government's credit and reduce annual interest costs going forward.

  65. National intelligence, the latest oxymoron. Nothing is worth dying for unless you are in the Russian army. Let Ukraine go, Tulsi. None of your business anymore. Your boss wants tax cuts. He needs to bring grocery prices down. Groceries. Very simple. Groceries.
    1
  66. That is the kind of long-term investment that government borrowing is appropriate for. What is not appropriate is borrowing to fund annual government operations. It's the difference between borrowing to buy a house but living within a grocery budget.

  69. Notable that these are mostly fit men of military age. Their fathers are back home watching the family, ready for the money wires to start up. Many of these men will work for green carded subcontractors who work for citizen contractors who just pay a flat fee for services without worrying about I-9 Forms or FICA and Medicare tax payments. Cash only. The system works well. The border is a racket that is not meant to be solved, but to obtain the votes of the fearful that will maintain the system. Bless Fox, and I don't know why they did it, but they just demonstrated what a joke "the wall" is. Another component of the racket, juicy border infrastructure contracts. Now the Israelis, they build serious walls.

  70. Wow. Fox didn't censor "Putin is evil". Thumbs up for that.

  71. Hunter Biden is a graduate of Yale Law School and is an attorney. His functions on the board of Burisma were related to the legal aspects of corporate governance, not the technical aspects of fossil energy. He agrees name recognition contributed to his selection to the board, but he did bring relevant skills to the tasks he was given. Go out and get information on Hunter Biden on your own. This presentation leaves a lot out, and therefore is very slanted in the impression it is trying to make on you. Learn and think for yourself.

  81. Would the Proud Boys be willing to offer AOC a security services agreement? I know they're a bit tied up right now, but still, it could blow some minds if they offered. Next topic, I am ethnocentric, and so are you. It's a finding of anthropology applying to all peoples. We're all more comfortable with the way we were brought up. Some of us are better at adjusting to other cultures than others. It often has to do with how financially and otherwise secure we are. But sometimes you might call multi-cultural tolerance a spiritual gift, a result of an inner transformation of the mind. God shows no partiality. But that's not where everyone is at. This piece just kind of glosses over the Antebellum South, the Civil War, the Klan, Woodrow Wilson, the segregated military and professional sports until the late forties, redlined zoning, and the list goes on but not in this lady's book. Some people do not want to adjust to other cultures. They want others to adjust to them. And I am saying that is an innate characteristic of human beings, a finding of anthropology, and that it takes a deliberate effort to adjust to a multi-cultural environment for the long run. It's easy to have a honeymoon with a new culture. Then you see things about it you don't like. Then you choose to adjust to it or not. Then you choose to accept it to some degree or not. Totalitarianism is when elections are considered pointless and abandoned. I don't think that is the way the American left is going. I think that is where the American right is going, but is defensively projecting their own sentiment onto the left. When AOC loses, will she say she really won, whatever the election officials say?

  82. Bless your heart. They all seem quite fit men who are here to work for a system that does not want to solve this problem because it wins votes for the very party that wants cheap labor. The border is a racket. I talk with immigrants. They take the menial jobs but it's better money that back home, where the business community has an even harsher desire for cheap labor. Money will get wired home. The banks will skim those international transactions. And look at the wall that Americans chanted for, and the joke that it is in reality. Another juicy government contract. I propose building more American consulates in the sending nations, around which will form sanctuary cities. They become investment zones for US companies somewhere other than China. Pay needs to be good enough that folks stay in their own country. Not that that is going to raise pay for American citizens, but they might stop being so scared.

  93. There's a difference between temperature and heat, as this scientist well knows. I guess there is also a difference between scientists who are paid by the government and scientists who are paid by the Cato Institute. The Cato institute is largely privately funded by corporations and people of considerable means. What's relevant to me as a Floridian is sea level rise, and my understanding is the current rate of sea level rise is 1/8" per year, which is a higher rate than in the past, and that the rate is forecasted to increase in the future, accelerating the effects of sea level rise on coastal communities. Sea level is not threatening when the sea is relatively calm, but the sea is not always calm. As sea level rises, storm surges will penetrate further inland. If we have difficultly believing science, we might finally respond to property insurance premiums. Advise your young as well as you can. They will face this.

  95. In the background of this video is a breachable wall. I'll bet it was a juicy contract for whoever put it up. And the right saw from a local hardware store can cut a discrete hole in it. The border is a racket. Discussing this matter myself with immigrants, the issue is in America there are menial jobs usually available that pay better wages than back home. Some just pay cash with no FICA or Medicare tax taken out, which both employer and employee prefer. These are men that are going to send money home because our modern banking system, which skims international transactions, has made that easy to do. Like I say, the border is a racket, and the problem is not meant to be solved, but to win the votes of the fearful.

  98.  @jacquesstrapp3219  It's the government working on this problem with the criminal justice perspective. There are three basic types of people: 1) acute conformists, they have already gotten vaccinated; 2) deterrable offenders, they are getting vaccinated to keep their job; and 3) incorrigible offenders, they will never get vaccinated. In the end, if 70% to 80% of the population gets vaccinated, that gets us to herd immunity, that is, a case load the health care system can treat sustainably. Like the flu, people will die of COVID every year from now on, mostly the elderly. That will put upward pressure on health care costs. The government, like law enforcement officers, understands people in this basic framework. They are not surprised.

I've never seen a CEO type President do such a bad job of hiring help. He oughta know how by 2016, right? And you really want to know why you are so stunned by America? It's because the American people as a whole don't know how to hire good help either. The country is crawling with liars and scammers and con men and corruption. The average American is numbed by "future shock", in despair, and grasping in all directions to find a way to cope. And dude, I am not sure you are helping.

  108. Tucker, Putin and his security services comprise a mature autocratic (that's the nice word) power organization that amasses wealth for its elite and promises its underlings continued financial and other personal progress in exchange for their ruthless preservation of the organization. By necessity, such an organization cannot include prosperity for the bulk of the population it controls. To obtain maximum productivity from the population to serve its own interests, the organization must shield the controlled population from the outside world and intimidate it into complete compliance. The system goes back to Stalin, even Lenin, and it self-defeated. Putin has rejuvenated it and again set it on the path to self-defeat. Like you, I do have ethical issues with Ukraine being a tool to weaken this organization. On the other hand, the organization is a plague on a planet that truly has more important tasks before it than satisfying the egos of the Russian autocracy. Neurotypical people did not sign up for this madness, but it is starting to seem like the day is coming for a pivotal moment in history as far as this organization is concerned. China has been building a similar, and larger, organization. It is watching everything we do about this.
