  1. And in other great news......President Trump signed an executive order requiring U.S. colleges to protect free speech or face funding cuts. It's about time.

  3.  @samualcrocket1405  I'm only allowed to vote in one district. Maybe it's because I'm a Republican. I can't be taken to fault for what suburban moms are voting for. I'm a country boy and we ALL vote red. I'm extremely suspicious of a Party that thinks that showing your ID when voting is racist and wrong. I think that it's common sense and so do most countries around the world. At least the countries that have elections believe that.

  4.  @TheMaverickq  Zelensky needs help from the United States. So he goes to the US, hat in hand, right to the main office of the president of the US, and picks a fight with him as if he's entitled to the money and arms that he wants. He's not entitled to ANYTHING. This has to be the dumbest possible way to ask for help when you're in a war that you can't win alone. It's a complete lack of decorum in someone else's "house". The next time you go to the bank for a loan, start yelling at the loan officer after he gives you a deal which would guarantee that loan. You'd might find yourself escorted out the door and asked to never come back.

  5.  Almighty Black'Man  What are going on about? No one wants illegals to die. They want them to apply for entry and wait until that application is approved. They DON'T want them to sneak in and then claim the same rights as those who are real citizens or who came here after waiting to enter legally. That's what they want. Have you ever heard of a passport? Try to enter another country without one. They'll send you home right quick. I've done a lot of travelling, Europe, Central and South America, and I've ALWAYS had to show my passport. You can't even get on a plane without it. Yet, for some strange reason, these lefties think that the US is bigoted for doing what EVERY other country in the world does. It's ridiculous.

  8.  @Reezys-f2q  Watch the film of Biden bragging about threatening to keep $1,000,000,000, that's BILLION, dollars unless a special prosecutor was fired. The prosecutor was fired and shortly after, Hunter Biden's boss had 23 million bucks that had been frozen, released. 6 months later, all charges were dropped against the guy. If you don't find that disturbing, I don't how much money used to threaten and bribe foreign would bother you. A TRILLION bucks? If we're going to drain the swamp, let's drain the entire swamp, not just the ones we don't like.

  9.  @ohwell2790  It's not only rich people that would be affected by a Wall St. tax. Every American and even a lot of foreigners would see it. It would depress actions and growth on Wall St. and that affects everyone. If you're a factory worker, you may have a company pension. Pensions rely on Wall St. for growth. Even a modest bank accounts depend on the markets. That's how the banks can afford to pay interest. They use that money for investments and the better return on that money, the better it is for the customer. Remember the last bank crash? Banks went bankrupt and people lost life savings. This is the craziest idea yet. Any hope that anyone might have, especially the lowest of the economic scale, for any kind of retirement savings, depend on a strong stock market. Even modest investments annually in 401K can have great results over the years. Don't take that away by depressing investment climate. It'll hurt everyone.

  10. @Man Dingo That doesn't address the point that he's making. He's saying that private companies generally do a better job than a government agency and gives an example. New Orleans is below sea level and has been for a long time. It was the actions of the Army Corp of Engineers that caused the breach and flooding. Besides, 26 percent of the Netherlands is below sea level, including one ENTIRE province. It can be done if done right. It wasn't done right in New Orleans.

  11.  @captidgas  However, if Biden is guilty, wouldn't it be in every American's best interest to find out about it and wouldn't asking the Ukraine president to look into his actions be the right thing to do? What kind of "shrug it off" president would Trump be to just ignore it? The media hatred for Trump runs so deep that even if someone else called for that investigation, they would have just called that person a Trump stooge. That he was paid to do it. It's as if every Democrat thinks Biden should have a free pass, so long as it's the road to getting rid of Trump. Right or wrong is just as meaningless to them as they accuse Trump of being. It's all political.

No logic....just the emotional response of one who is filled with resentment.

  18.  @19infreg  What happened to making your own way in life? Socialism. Socialism and the entitled attitudes that come with the socialist mindset. Things start to lose value under socialism. Your education, your family, your integrity, your drive to succeed, it all falls to the socialist mindset that things aren't fair and society must make sure that everything is fair. Socialism is one of the most destructive force on the planet.

  19.  @JDT64  First.....we've lost ONE year of construction so we can't even put an extra push on construction to speed up the completion process. He's put us over a year behind and there's no plan to restart construction so there's no relief to be expected there at all in any immediate future. Alberta Premier, Jason Kenney, says that it could still be completed by early 2023, if they went back to work and made it an international priority. It would increase, on its own, oil production by 900,000 barrels per day. Had Biden not stopped the work, it could have been completed by this fall. Second....if oil shortages from Russian embargoes are causing a dramatic rise in world wide energy costs, wouldn't the extra oil that the Keystone project add to the oil supply and drive DOWN energy costs?? Finishing the pipeline and encouraging domestic production would solve the shortfall that didn't exist one year ago. Biden is doing neither. You're making excuses for bad policy decisions and the result is increased inflation and an announcement of probable food shortages. Doing nothing isn't going to solve those problems.

  24.  @katinamarie6651  You're talking about wars that happened over 30 years ago and the people are finally fleeing NOW? As for those cages, WHEN will some of you get it through your heads that those pictures were taken in 2014, when Obama was the president and that Trump put an end to it when it became public news? This is easily accessed information and yet people keep bringing it up. I'll even give you that the US shouldn't have gotten involved in those civil wars but that was a long time ago. These people aren't fleeing those wars anymore. They're just tired of corrupt governments and the crime. If you're going to use that as a criteria for asylum seekers, Canada should be forced to take in asylum seekers from Chicago. Lots of crime and corruption there. The problem is that the people of those countries are taking advantage of lax American immigration laws and they're being told that all you have to do is show up and you can stay. The US must put an end to that idea and force those migrants to go home, apply through legal means like every other immigrant to the US. It's a disaster right now and it will get worse. If the Democrats get into power again, they'll suddenly realise it and blame Trump for the issue and try to fix the migrant problem EXACTLY the way Trump wants to do it now. This type of migrant influx can't be sustained forever. It's insane to believe otherwise.

  25.  @bertblue9683  I think that it's unethical to "lose" your pension when you're fired. You've paid into it. It's YOUR money. It would be like demanding your wages back. You're better off refusing their pension and starting one of your own.

A salute to those veterans and respect to all those who honour them, no matter what their political affiliation.

  27.  Real Christian.  You've just pointed out a major reason why Hillary lost the last election. She projected a major disdain for those living in "fly over" America, calling them "deplorables" and insinuating that they're nothing but hillbillies and just plain dumb. It's a terrible campaign strategy to call the person that you want to vote for you all kinds of insulting names. "Hey, you stupid Yokel...vote for me or else prove how much of a deplorable you are" isn't a winning tactic. You'd think an "educated" person would know that.

  28. You've gotta be kidding. Farming, in North America, has been privately operated for all our history. They have provided us with an overwhelming surplus of food since WW2. The only reason that we're talking food shortages now is due to the interference of world governments. Farmers aren't setting the policies. The Netherlands is now setting fertiliser caps and it's estimated that this will end in a reduced crop yield of over 30%. THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT DOING THIS. In Sri Lanka, those policies were implemented 2 years ago and it resulted in over 30% loss in crops. People went hungry and inflation grew to 133%. Once again....GOVERNMENT POLICIES. Now you want the government to stick their noses into our agricultural sector? You're out of your mind.

  29.  @Alfred.E.Neuman.1  I think what he's saying is that he wants those, who are indoctrinating students in socialist ideologies, should be replaced by teachers who are teaching academics and vocational studies. He wants to get RID of those failing teachers, who aren't failing from their own prospective. They're a big success at what they want to do. That's not giving the high schools MORE responsibilities. It's changing their responsibilities from ideological indoctrination to real education.

  30.  @tisha3831  It wasn't Trump that made the emotional mess. It was the Democrats and the media who started all the talk about collusion and who made up and manipulated the stories surrounding Trump. They made a big deal out of the stupidest things. If you can't control your emotions, that's no one's fault but your own. Get yourself under control and you will never do that if you insist that your emotions are at the control of others.

  31.  I'm Your President  I have a feeling that's going to change after these riots. That's when people will be pissed over the damage and they'll begin to accept that Cuomo was better at PR than he was at being a governor. The grievances are mounting. Eventually, there will be enough people with grievances that his approval ratings will plummet.

  32.  Steven Sweeden  There is a lot of hatred out there. It started the moment Trump announced his plans to run for the presidency. There is no way anyone can deny that. People actually say it. "I hate Trump". There have been numerous attacks on people wearing MAGA hats. The entire Covington fiasco was due to the fact that some of those kids were wearing those hats. The media intentionally distorted that story. Anyone that watched the original film in an unbiased way could see that those kids did nothing so why would the media portray that incident the way they did. That doesn't mean that Trump is great guy but when people refuse to even acknowledge something that he did that might be good because of the way they feel about him, that's intense dislike....or hate. When a so-called comedienne's reaction to a picture of his daughter holding her baby is to call her a feckless c---, that's due to hatred. When someone posts a picture of themselves holding Trump's severed head or say that they fantasise about blowing up the White House, it's gone way beyond disapproval. It wasn't that long ago, that I was in a bar when a guy casually mentioned that he voted for Trump in 16, and he was called an idiot and then asked to leave. That's not just disapproval.....that's hatred. When a member of Congress tells people to confront those she doesn't like when they're in public and tell them that they're not welcome....that's hatred. These people may feel justified but it's still hatred, plain and simple.

  33.  Herbie NYC407  Like back when Obama was president? It's been 4 YEARS since the last riot over a shooting of a unarmed man. When Obama was president, let's see, there was Trayvon Martin (wasn't even shot by a cop), Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Philandro Castille, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, and more so let's get off this "Republicans are at fault" nonsense.

  34. @rgsand01 Because Mayor De Blasio and Governor Cuomo are telling them not to get involved. Let the rioters loot and burn. They're not supporting the police, the businesses or the public....AT ALL. The police can't act on its own, no more than the military can. A Navy captain of a battleship can't just sail into a foreign city and start blasting away without orders from the top. Police officers can't start arresting people when their superiors tell them not to, superiors who are getting their orders from the Mayor. If they went against their bosses and arrested rioters, the rioters would just be let go and the police officers involved would be reprimanded or let go. Mayor De Blasio won't use force to stop the rioting criminals but he's just fine with those criminals destroying the lives and property of innocent people. He'll do that till they're at his front door. Then, just like that idiot Chris Palmer, the sports announcer, who cheered on the rioters, until they showed up at his neighbourhood, he'll call in the police and National Guard and call the rioters criminals. When it hurts him, THEN you'll see him act. The worst mayor in the US, although the mayor in Minneapolis is running a close second.

  36.  @marywallace7191  I'll try this again. When Trump gave a huge amount of money to the veterans to save the parade, 25 years ago, was THAT about himself? I'd not even heard about it until this organiser revealed it on this program. I don't expect an answer for that, at least not one that's logical and coherent and laced with invective. Can you NOT, for the love of God, put your HATE for the man aside for one day and just honour those veteran heroes? Honour them and respect those who honour them with you regardless of political affiliations. JUST FOR ONE DAY.

  38. @John Balnis Trump being re-elected is a very real possibility. Everyone was so sure that Clinton would win the last election that the Democrats couldn't see where they were making mistakes. From what I'm seeing they haven't looked inward yet to see where they could have ran a better campaign. Learn from your mistakes is an axiom the Dems should pay attention to.

  39.  @dejuanrobert  The envy argument. He's a billionaire so he's a despicable person. Besides, he is spending his own money. He doesn't take a salary for being president. People are giving their money because they like what he's done for the country. It's their right. Notice how the Democrats can't get any where close to what the Republicans are getting. Why? I'd say it's because they DON'T have the approval of the average American....OR.....it's the Democrat supporters that are stingy ones.

  41.  Gerry Swaim  "The LYING CHEATING STEALING NARCISSISTIC BRAGGING BLOWHARD BULLY" It would seem that any information would have to get past this quite obvious and overt hatred that you have for the guy. You start out with the hatred and then filter out any information that might work in favour of your narrative. No news source would be reputable until it meets your standard of hate. Try and discard that filter and try to be a little objective. No one has ever said that you have to like the president but when one has to capitalise opinions, one is also showing that decisions and perceptions are being made on emotions, not logic or fact. As for reputable(?), I hope you're not referring to CNN or MSNBC. These are the networks that didn't even bother to fact check the Covington Kids story. Why is it that a guy like me, living in a one bedroom apartment, in a small town, could find the actual footage of the incident within 10 minutes and see what actually happened while those networks, with all their money and resources, couldn't? Maybe you should reconsider what you think is reputable.

  43.  @bankrollguwop8593  So think this is all the American's fault. All the Venezuelans have to do is get oil contracts with China and India. How would the US stop that? They can't. The truth is when the government nationalised the oil industry, they set in place the opportunity for corruption. It came when Chavez became the president and he put his own people in place to run the state owned oil company......and they ruined it. Chavez and some of his cronies skimmed off all kinds of money and any profits had to be used to placate the people, further bankrupting the oil industry. Price controls were enacted and soon businesses were going bankrupt and the government nationalised them. Things just went from bad to worse, yet the US was their biggest trade partner, in spite of sanctions being imposed in 2015. Incredibly, you just seen the film of the military firing on ordinary people. 3 million people have already left the country, because things are so grim. Yet, somehow it's the fault of the US. You're so vested in your hate of the US, you'd quite happily let the people of Venezuela starve then see the country reset its economy and bring some stability to the lives of the average citizen.

  44.  @TrilobitesRTasty  What are you even talking about? What does Biden corruption have to do with Trump? Are you trying to say that you're just fine with the Biden corruption as long as Trump isn't the president? When they were after Trump for collusion, I was all in for getting him if it was true. When they came up with nothing, I moved on. Now Biden is being centred out for overt corruption. If true, I want him to be held to account. I don't care WHAT party it is. If they're corrupt and commit crimes that can be proven.....prosecute them. No favourites. No special treatment.

  45.  @marthell6159  We're not talking about Trump. We're talking about a sitting president, NOT an ex-president. This current president's son has around 150 questionable bank transactions that have been reported to the proper authorities and nothing was done about it. If YOU or I have just 2 or 3 questionable transactions reported, we'd have the FBI, DEA, IRS and DHS on our necks but Hunter can have 150 transactions reported and NOTHING? And all you have to say is "Well Donnie was bad, too!!!". That's something that I'd expect from a 9 year old. Refusing to want to investigate a current president because a past president might have been corrupt is as dumb as it gets. INVESTIGATE ALL OF THEM. Why is that such a difficult concept??? Especially investigate the one that has the most significant impact at this moment....the current president of the United States, Joe Biden. At this moment, Joe Biden has a bigger impact on your life than Trump does, but you don't care if he's corrupt or not and that his corruption could have a severe detrimental effect on your life. NOPE....you don't care. Just get that guy that you hate. You're letting your hatred cloud your decision making abilities.

Most times, when someone resorts to smearing others, that someone is a troll. So...prove that you're not a troll and tell us WHY we shouldn't vote for Trump. Strong reasons, with evidence and logic. Then you could be taken seriously. I want to hear a good argument. Name calling is for bullies in a school yard.

  51.  @danielfit577  They used a loophole in banking laws. That doesn't make banking bad. In Canada, there were banking laws against what they were doing in the US and Canadians didn't suffer all that badly. However, those loopholes have been plugged. It's not banking or Wall Street that's bad, it's some of their employees. They were unethical and making fortunes. I worked at a factory, years ago, and the company allowed us to take home seconds for family use. However, some of the employees started selling those products to friends and on the street. The company found out and discontinued that benefit. Those greedy employees ruined for all of us. That's exactly the same as those bankers giving out those loans. They were lining their pockets by getting bonuses for approving loans and then selling those loans as blocks as investments. Totally unethical. It ruined things for a lot of people. There should have been more oversight but there wasn't. You want to throw the baby out with the bath water. That would be the worst thing that could ever happen to the country. If you're going to be angry, be angry at those who took part in those get rich schemes....not the entire system, especially now that it's illegal.

  55.  Steven Sweeden  Trying to be honest about issues is the way we should be and I feel the same way about the successes that Trump has had. Quite surprised. I realise that there are people on the right that are very angry as well but they're not nearly as bad as those on the left. The anger on the left has become political policy where it hasn't even come close to that on the right. A lot of the rancour on the right is in response to the invective thrown from the left. All the Democrats have to do to beat Trump in the next election is to show similar desire for success and showcase a more likeable candidate. They don't even appear to want to do that. Their attitude is what is going to lose the next election, just like it did in 16 but they're so caught up in their own ideological superiority they refuse to look inwards to see where it is they could improve. All they seem interested in doing is to tear down the other side. Their hatred is their undoing and they don't realise it. The Dems might win the election next year but I highly doubt. They're going about it the wrong way.

You'll have nothing good to say about her or to do with her for only one reason and no other reason. That's true divisiveness. In fact, that's the very definition of bigotry. You don't even have the self awareness to realise that you're contradicting yourself. Trump is the first president to fight the "Made in China" only products in our stores. Yet, she's a strong Trump supporter. So, is she wrong to wear "Made in China" spandex or is Trump wrong to take on the Chinese and work out a new deal so the "Made in China" label isn't on almost every product in our stores? That entire weather map thing was a tempest in a teapot. CNN made a much bigger thing of this than what it warranted. They weren't even smart enough to see what really happened. "Hey...look at this map. Big hurricane in Alabama". Meanwhile, while everyone is obsessing over this stupid map, Trump appropriates more money, from another source, to finance the building of the wall. MSM is as much a clown show as Trump. Worse, because he's using those clown world antics against the DNC and the media and they're too obsessed with their hatred for him to not fall for it. Stop hating so much and start using your brain. That hatred lost the last election and will, quite likely, lose the next election as well.

Only a banking idiot would accept a borrower's assessment of value as the truth unless they already know the value of the property. Smiling at someone while you stab him in the back, isn't being soft. Most people have a very low opinion of someone who would do that.

She's white as white can get, red hair and blue eyes. As a matter of fact, of the top 10 countries where legal immigrants come from, not one is a predominately white country. Mexico, China, India, the Philippines, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Haiti, Vietnam, El Salvador and Jamaica make up the top ten sources of legal immigrants. Over recent years, European make up less than 10 percent of all legal immigrants. If you weren't so lazy, you'd do a little research before you make such stupid claims. It's easy. Just google "top demographics of American immigrants". Any noob can do it.

  65. When the month is over, Hochul will sign a law that will mandate that the governor must have a security detail at her beck and call. She's too important to lose, according to her. The rest of us just don't have lives that are as essential as hers. Remember Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago during the pandemic. Only she could go get a haircut because she's the mayor and has to look good. The rest of us are nothing. It's narcissism at it's finest.

  66. The problems in Afghanistan started when Bush Jr. lost his focus on capturing Bin Laden and turned all of his attention on Iraq and Saddam Hussein. He dropped the ball and Obama and Trump were both stuck with trying to untangle the mess that Bush created.

  67. Can't report on consequences that haven't happened. The FBI have been shown, and there's plenty of facts presented, but nothing has been done about it but lots of talk. All I know is that if I'd been reported, by my bank to the FBI, for 3 banking deposit irregularities, I'd be in BIG trouble. Hunter Biden has had well over 100 reports filed against him by the banks and the FBI has done nothing about it except lie and protect him. That should outrage every American, Democrat or Republican.

  70.  @d.h.jefferies2191  I didn't say that, did I? I said that this video is about Joe Biden and you keep insisting on talking about Trump. The title says "Biden's money trail to China, Russia and Ukraine exposed". Nowhere does it say a THING about Trump. It's a common tactic. Deflect from a topic that you don't like by refusing to talk about it and talking about something else that's completely irrelevant. There seems to strong evidence that the Biden family corruption is severe and may even involve foreign governments. That has severe implications. If you want to expose Trump's corruption....fine. Have at it, but don't ignore what's even more serious at this moment. Right now, not 2 years ago, but at this very moment, we have a president, who's making executive orders, who may well be corrupted by foreign interests. Does that not bother you?? Or is your politics so skewed that it's not the corruption that bothers you, it's personalities. Biden can be corrupt so long as he's not Trump. Great logic that. It's like have a preference on who's robbing you. Better that Matt robs me than Billy.

  71.  @d.h.jefferies2191  That's why we need an investigation. We need it to validate or refute its contents. Until we do, we'll never know for sure. Like I said, if its important to you to solve last year's problems, go to it. I'd think it more important to tackle a problem that we could be facing RIGHT NOW. No point in my going on about my tonsils that were taken out years ago. I want to solve the issues that I have with my sinuses, TODAY. No different with the presidency. Trump, like my tonsils, is gone. Biden, like my sinuses, are the issue right now. I didn't go to my doctor and complain about my tonsils only to be told, upon inspection that my tonsils are gone. I talked about the pain in my sinuses. You keep talking about my tonsils when it's my sinuses that are in pain. That's a metaphor. This has nothing to do with being in a cult. Trump can't lead this country into prosperity or disaster, right now. He's NOT the guy in charge. Biden is. Solving last years problems might give you satisfaction but it doesn't solve what could be happening NOW. You're living in the past. Time to start living in the present.

I'm trying to deal with my current problem....my bad sinuses. You're inventing problems that can't even exist. You really don't have any concept of what a metaphor is used for, do you.

  75.  @donaldclifford5763  Deciding to no longer send money and weapons to a leader who has openly said that he doesn't want a ceasefire isn't imposing peace. He did backtrack that statement but it has to be one of the dumbest things that he could have said. Zelensky is hoping for added financial support but picks a fight with the guy who's going to give that money to him. That's not very bright. Try it with your banker next time you need a loan. See how that works out for you.

  76. I heard the same stuff in the late sixties about going into space. Yet, right now, space is a multi billion dollar industry and is vital to the economy. You either go forward or you go backwards. If the benefits of space are to continue, we have to continue to expand because nothing ever remains the same and if you don't expand, in 50 years, the US will be has-beens in the space economy.

  78.  @nickthompson1812  I'm not a Republican but I will tell you that the education is biased towards left wing thinking. Highly biased. They're not liberals. Liberals believe in free thought and expression. Left wing ideologists. Left wing universities will not allow diversity of thought. Conservative viewpoints are suppressed, even protested violently at times. They don't advocate against education. They advocate against an education that is highly biased. It's not conservatives that run hiding to safe spaces in universities when they hear ideas they don't like. I'm astounded at the arrogance on display. It's the same arrogance that Hillary displayed in her election bid. That attitude that she's better than the hillbillies in fly over America. The same elitist arrogance that you're showing in your comment.

  79.  @manderson7173  Really? I don't know how old you are but I remember a time when the products that we bought in our stores were made in our country. Not all of them but the great majority of them. I watched our manufacturing base dwindle to nothing, factory after factory closing down, now sitting empty and people losing their jobs. Cities rotting from the inside out, even the small ones. Everything, in our stores, were labelled "Made in China". All the political slogans calling to "Buy American" proved futile because there was nothing made in America. Why? Because of the REAL cronyism in the political bureaucracy. Allowing corporations to move manufacturing out of the country, to China especially, who have no labour or environmental laws, so the corporations could rake in big profits at the expense of the average American citizen. Corporate lobbyists, for decades, working politicians and established bureaucrats, establishing Draconian laws and red tape, to the point that it became impossible for manufacturers to operate in the US anymore. Trump has been talking about this for decades and has started to bring back some of those manufacturing jobs to the US. Why would you ignore this? As a matter of fact, why don't you give an example of the cronyism that Trump has been a part of? That might be interesting to examine. However, I don't expect a word from you. You're just a troll.

  80.  @dejuanrobert  That's not why they don't like him. The leaders of those countries don't like him for the same reasons the Democrats don't like him. He's not a career politician. He's not ideologically instep with them. He believes in looking after his own country and its citizens and it's a priority. He believes in strong borders and as small a government as possible. He supports the Brexit attempts in Britain and is a friend of Boris Johnson. He supports the freedom of the individual as opposed to their progressive, state controlled society. They hate him mostly because he's taken the US to a new economic prosperity that they haven't been able to achieve, in spite of being against their socialist beliefs and that this threatens their hold on the ordinary citizen. That tears the socialists dreams into shreds and they can't stand that.

Both options tell me that she's not fit to have that job.

  82. He's giving Biden credit for the vaccine roll-out??? The drug company had a product that they wanted to sell and they're the ones that produced it and got it to market. It was Trump who cut the red tape for FDA approval. In fact, before the 2020 elections, there were Democrats who were insistent that they'd NEVER take a Trump vaccine...including the current vice-president. Also, it was the Democrat led states that had the strictest lockdown policies, NOT the Republican states and that's because Trump allowed each state to handle their own policies on it as per the Constitution. Democrats are still wailing at DeSantis for the way he handled it. As for the virus getting here...yes it did come from China. However, in the east, it got here from China via Europe, Italy specifically, and Democrats, just like they did when Trump closed travel with China, lambasted Trump for closing travel with Europe, as well. Hahn is grasping at straws.

  88. You can't get it now. The Democrats in the House will vote it down. So Trump is forced to do it next year, if he can. He has to win big in the election and as soon as he's instated in his second term you'll get it. It's the Democrats that are stopping it. In fact, if they win the election next year, be prepared for tax increases.

  89.  @sethchiaroproductions2171  Asylum seekers......like the mother of that little girl on the cover of Time. Leaves her husband and other kids behind and pays a coyote 6,000 bucks to get her into the US. There are millions of average Americans that can't scrap together that much money. They're not asylum seekers at all. They just live in countries that's rife with corruption and crime. Kind of like the city of Chicago. Should Canada take in "asylum seekers" from Chicago who are trying to escape the crime and corruption of the inner city? No plan, huh. Ever hear about the wall? That "immoral" wall? LOL. The fences that Obama put up weren't immoral but call it a wall.....well you racist jerk. The hypocrisy is astounding.

  90.  @KeepItReal33  No drug war in Mexico? Really?

I was in Playa Del Carmen in January. 36 people were gunned down nearby in a gun battle between rival drug gangs, mostly innocent bystanders. It has been one of the bloodiest wars on the planet over the last 15 years, almost rivalling that of Syria and Iraq. People are leaving those countries because of the corruption and the lack of opportunity......not because there are wars in those countries. They're not war refugees at all and that's why after they're apprehended at the border and told to come to their refugee status hearings on a given date, they don't show up. They know they won't qualify as asylum seekers and they'll have to go home. Once again, just like the mother of that crying little girl featured on the cover of Time magazine with a pasted picture of Trump looking down at her. Her husband had a good business going. She just wanted to get away from him and even had 6000 bucks to spend on a trafficker to get her and her child into the US. Divorce won't qualify you as a war refugee.

  92.  @jefftaylor2547  It's difficult to get the picture of what's going on from my couch but I don't deny the possibility of the organisation of this violence. I can relate something that I am familiar with to use as an example. In Canada, in the sixties, there was a French separatist group known as the FLQ. They were communist sympathisers and wanted Quebec to separate from Canada and form a new socialist nation. What's important here is how they were organised. They formed small cells of 5 to 8 people and they only knew the fellow sympathisers that were in their own group. Only one person, within the group, would be in contact with another group, would be the contact with a third group. It made it extremely difficult, for the Canadian authorities to get any information on them or their objectives. That's how, it would seem, that Antifa is organised. Not quite as secretive, but no formal apparent structure or chain of command. However, I'd say that it was a facade. I'd say that every group has a leader that acts as a liaison to other groups and that the average Antifa member is unaware of this loose association or is out of the loop. That's why, as you say, it's difficult to pin them down. This guy, that you say is getting paid, knows that there's something going on within the organisation but I'm sure he has no idea where the money is coming from or how. He's out of the loop. He has his handler, that pays him but where that handler got the money, he couldn't tell you. It's how these socialists underground groups operate.

  93.  @paulmitcheson2905  He didn't say to try injecting disinfectant. He asked if there was any research involving disinfectant and he asked 2 doctors. Only an idiot would actually think that he said that we should try it or someone so consumed with TDS that he can't think rationally. The "Mexico will pay for it" was, foremost, a political slogan but he also threatened Mexico with tariffs if they didn't do something about illegals at the border. Those tariffs would have helped to pay for it. So, Mexico started a program of helping to detect illegals on their side of the border. So, in a way, they're helping to pay for border security, freeing money to pay for the wall. Anyone, who actually thought that he was going to get the president of Mexico to write Trump a check to pay for the wall is either delusional or so consumed with TDS that he can't think rationally. You know why there is 10% unemployment? It's because Democrat controlled states have had such Draconian lockdowns that jobless rates were over 20%. Michigan actually reached 31%, at one time. Before Covid, the jobless rates were the best in US history. Can he get 10 million jobs back in the next 4 years? I don't know but I'm glad that he's setting goals for the country. Even if he gets half of that, it would be amazing. I hope he succeeds but, of course, that's not going to be good for the TDS. His failure to reach that goal would stroke that obsession in a satisfying way, though, wouldn't it? While he was hoping that Covid would go away, he'd already stopped travel to China and Europe. He'd formed a task force to fight the disease and even offered to send a team of virology experts to China, which they refused. He talked about it in the State of the Union Address, as well....the one that Pelosi tore up and not one Democrat mentioned that it was in that address. I realised that Trump was an optimist but I also saw that he was doing those things so I thought that it might be a good idea to prepare myself, in case of the worst did happen. When the toilet paper scare did come, I had enough to eat and wipe my butt for at least 3 months. You see, I didn't have TDS and that allowed me to think rationally. In spite of the numbers, the US is not the worst in cases or deaths per capita. In cases per million, the US ranks 9th. In deaths per million, the US ranks 10th. That means that there are 9 countries that if they had the same population as the US, they'd have more than 184,000 deaths. It surely didn't help matters when Democrat states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California put Covid patients in nursing homes. Republican states Florida and Texas have 30 million people MORE than New York but NY has over 10 thousand MORE deaths. Those are facts that you probably don't want to hear but I can back this up. TDS has a way of not liking facts. Sort of like the fact that there are Democrats that like to hold to the narrative of "peaceful protests" as buildings are burning. What kind of TDS delusional thinking does one need to have to think that the ordinary voter is going to believe that to be true. I'll bet the voters in Kenosha are all talking about how "peaceful" the "protests" were in their small city. You don't have to like Trump or even vote for him but at least be rational about it.

  94.  @arenam79  When you see crime statistics, you're seeing felonies NOT misdemeanours. That means that shoplifting, under a set number, is not a felony and therefore not a crime. When police are understaffed, they have to pick and choose what crimes to investigate and misdemeanours just aren't as important as felonies. Eventually, businesses just don't bother reporting crimes because they know that the police won't show up and if they do, the perp will be set free. The higher that set number, the lower the crime stats for obvious reasons. The crime may have happened but if they're not reporting it or it doesn't meet the standards of a felony, then it's not reported as a crime and politicians can brag that crime is down. That's the logic of it. Both store staff and police officers have been saying the same thing. No point in reporting the crime because nothing gets done or, from the police standpoint, no point in arresting someone because they just get released. Why risk their safety, their livelihood and their savings when the powers over them do nothing to protect them or the citizens? That's the logic that you're refusing to see.

  97. So, if they do, would you finally admit that it is possible? If they go to the landing sites and show you the stuff they left behind, will you acknowledge that it wasn't a hoax? I doubt it. You and your ilk will come up with a whole new set of minute details to debunk it. And they didn't lose the technology. Technology has advanced beyond that capability. It would be like sending the cavalry to invade Iraq next time. It would have worked great 200 years ago, but now? What a joke.

  98.  @blackstreetztv1763  I don't even like Trump. He's boorish, says stupid things and sounds like a kid at times. However, I'm not going to let my personal feelings about the guy cloud my assessment of the economy. I look at the facts. Unemployment is down and that's been consistent. Investment climate is excellent and has been for awhile and the economic numbers show that there are jobs being created. You've not shown one fact to refute that. All you've done is call me selfish and then expose a personal bias against Trump. That's not proof of any claim you've made. Hatred isn't an argument. It's emotionally crippling and creates nothing but anger and poor judgement. Either prove what you're saying or you have no argument. "Orange man bad" isn't an argument on whether the economy is good or not.

  99.  @MajinMist603  That's true but optimism and pessimism can affect the economic climate. However, the biggest driver on any market is the willingness of the citizens to work hard. There are those who say that the people of the fifties and sixties were just lucky. I grew up in the sixties and I can tell you that my parents generation were extremely hard workers, willing to put in hours very few us are willing to do today. That generation had just gone through the Great Depression and then WW2, so to them, a little hard work was easy compared what they had gone through in the previous 20 years. Unfortunately, success breeds complacency and that may be our biggest problem today.

  101.  Zainjal26  Those 2 little girls can't even tell you what asylum is. They're not true asylum seekers. It's a gambit that's being played so they can get into the US without the process that other, legit immigrants are going through and someone is telling them how to do it. They get here, tell the border agents that they're seeking asylum, even though they don't meet the criteria, get papers and then disappear, for good, into the US. They don't show up for their hearings because they know they don't qualify. So they hide in sanctuary cities and states and overwhelm the system with their presence. Lack of housing, medical care, schools and this idea that some Americans have that money is inexhaustible. This helps no one and if it isn't fixed, will be a big part of a future disaster.

I'm not a big fan of Trump but letting your hatred of the guy and conservatives in general, isn't exactly helping to make you think in a logical manner. This really has little to do with Trump but with the volatility of world markets. He can't tell them how to think.

You've already decided and it appears that the evidence will never convince you. You'd allow corruption as long as it's from the party or ideology that you like. That attitude in a voter is quite concerning. I'm taking a look into all this Laptop stuff and it's unbelievable. Now, even the NY Times is starting to say that this laptop is more than what they said it was back in 2020. Don't be so eager to let corrupt politicians off the hook.

  106.  @jamiepatterson1214  Forest fires are a natural phenomena. There are species that have evolved that even need fires to propagate. Also, if forests are cut to plant crops, there are still plants being grown, which means that it's a trade off. What is more devastating, to the environment, is the loss of good farmland and forest to urban sprawl. Buildings and pavement do NOT add to the natural cycle at all. Growing plants do and that's exactly what's happening when you grow crops.

You can't even mention his name without losing control of all emotion and going into a vitriolic tirade against him and anyone associated with him. The left and Democrats are always the ones going on about hate and "isms" but, in the end, they're just as much the haters, maybe more, than anyone else. Ask about the US ecomomy? People like you will go negative and then call Trump names. Ask about N. Korea and nuclear testing. More negativity, even though the testing has stopped (WOW) and then some more calling Trump names. This is the pattern, no matter the topic. You can't accept that things are going well in the US because you're hatred clouds everything you see and hear. LIke Bill Maher who wanted to see a recession just so Trump wouldn't be re-elected. It didn't matter to him that it meant the loss of jobs for millions of ordinary blue collar Americans so long as his hate was vented and the object of his hate defeated. Just once, I'd like to hear one of you Trump haters admit that, in spite of your dislike of Trump as a person, you approve of the fact that he halted the testing by North Korea, for the last 2 years. I knew that Trump was going to win when she turned her nose up and called his supporters a basket of deplorables. The smelling "Walmart" crowds that live in "flyover America". It's that disdain and hatred for ordinary people, and the president that has helped them, that will win him the next election and the Democrats are too filled with their own venom to get it. You're exactly that type of Democrat. You've already shown you disdain for Trump and billionaires. I'm sure you feel the same for his supporters, as well.....and you wonder why this is turning off so many American voters.

If they can't handle it, then the state should move in with the National Guard. If that doesn't work and it gets too far out of hand, then the Federal government steps in. It's how the system works and it can't be done in an afternoon. Besides, if the minute he does send in troops, you'll be calling him a tyrant. Your comments are nothing but knee jerk reactions based on a personal hatred for a specific person. No thought or reason involved.

I thought of it more as, what they used to call, the good ole boy network. A sort of bartering system of I'll help you now and you help me tomorrow trade-off.

  113.  @tracywarren889  Algebra is important, if only at an entry level, but that's not the problem. They're not even learning Algebra, which is a part of basic math. When I was in school, back in the sixties, the more academically inclined, who were looking at university, would take the academic courses and the more hands on types would take vocational stuff. However, the academics would take at least one vocational course per semester and the vocational types would take at least one course per semester in advanced math, science and English. There were also the science and tech programs, which were advanced science, vocational, math and English. This was for the engineering types. Pure vocational courses were set aside for those who were totally unable to deal with any academics, who found it difficult to read or do basic math, no matter how hard they tried. This allowed me to change from arts and science, a program for academics, to science and technology, a program that suited engineering and vocational interests. High school courses were balanced and most students could find their niche in life. Now, it's all rainbows and gummy bears and really helps no one. Test scores reflect just how bad it has become.

  115.  @JustinRok78  Did you really think that the turn around for the middle class was going to be like winning the lottery? For this to happen, effectively and with long term results, it has to come about, from the bottom, slowly and deliberately, gaining strength because the engine that's running the turn around is a sound and well thought out system of policies. Trump has been president for 3 years. That's not a long time. A sound economy means the opportunity for gains for ALL segments of society. If you try to parse it out, maintain an economy that only affects certain segments, you'll get exactly what we've had for the last 45 years, stagnation for the entire country. You give everyone an equal opportunity to succeed and then people will succeed at the pace that they're capable of. That's freedom. That's all anyone should want. You're looking for equality of outcome. That's not freedom. That's the tyranny of the failed over the successful and operated by those who judge failure by the success of others. Just because someone is rich, doesn't mean you're a failure.

  116. "Buy Canadian". We here it all the time in this country.....but try. The stores are filled with products from China. Our factories are closing but the companies that own them still exist. They're just not operating here anymore except to sell their cheaper products. I worked for one of the biggest shoe manufacturers in the world, a Canadian company, and they no longer make shoes here. Their factory is now being renovated into a retirement home. They're still huge in 3rd world countries, though but their corporate structure is so that you don't know what products are theirs and which isn't. Who did this "free trade" benefit? It definitely wasn't the blue collar workers and the middle class. It was the corporate leaders, the big investors who opened factories in 3rd world countries to take advantage of cheap labour and then sell those products here and strangle out the local small companies. Incredibly, those people who say that they support socialism and the left aren't really helping the working class at all. They're supporting the elites. Trump is right. MAGA is just a slogan, hyperbole that describes a greater idea. The idea that the ordinary American does have a role in the country and that they're NOT just a bunch of hillbillies and deplorables. I'd like to see that same attitude come to Canada. We're all important, not just the corporate elites.

Apparently, there's a laptop that has strong implications of severe corruption surrounding him and his family that might even involve foreign governments. I know.....shocking isn't it. What's that??? NO....Trump lost the election. Biden is the president. Yeah, the guy that was once vice-president....that's the guy. We don't have to solve the issues around Trump's presidency anymore. He's gone. We have a NEW problem now. Now FOCUS. Joe Biden is the president. That's the topic.

  121.  Real Christian.  For years, all we ever heard was "shop American" and the response was "we can't. Everything says made in China". Trump tries to fix it and you STILL complain. The farmers are getting help until a new and fairer trade deal is struck with the Chinese. When that happens, and it will, the farmers will have a secure market in China and they'll go back to work. However, if you LIKE our stores filled with Chinese products, you can ensure that this happens by buying only Chinese made products. I understand that you don't like Trump, but when you're in a trade war, there will be hardship. If the war is resolved and the farmers are STILL on welfare, then you have a complaint that has merit. Right now it's just a lot of hot air. Trump is helping those affected negatively by the restructuring of the trade deal with China. China wants what American farmers can produce so this isn't permanent.

  124. No matter how we try to stop it, it'll be a mess. The only way out, without considerable damage, is through the political process. Trump was showing us how and he was using the Reagan/Kennedy ideas of less government and less government spending. However, the Socialist Democrats, since they couldn't run on a solid economic platform, had only one option. Completely smear and denigrate Trump and the Republicans and they did a masterful job of it. However, people are seeing through it and the Dems are getting scared. That's why they've really ramped up the "Fascist" rhetoric. We really don't want real Civil Strife. The American Civil War was a disaster and it was the Democrats that refused to negotiate the end of that era and fired on Fort Sumter. They're doing it again, hoping to get rid of any and all opposition.

  127.  @sumisell  Actually, Trump lowered personal income taxes for everyone and tried to cut government spending. Biden is doing the exact opposite and inflation has risen to the highest in 40 years. The economy is in terrible shape. I'm not a big investor but my meagre investment portfolio is worth 15% less today than what it was a year and a half ago. I'm afraid to even check it sometimes. Your 401K is being hit hard, as well. But, go ahead, vote against businesses making money. That's a GREAT strategy. If they don't make money, they're forced to raise prices. That's inflationary. If the prices get too high, people will stop buying and the business will go belly up. That means people out of jobs and MORE taxes, because there will be fewer people and businesses paying taxes. I can't believe that people can't understand that. SMH.

If you were born male, you compete in men's sports. Period. If Leah doesn't like it, she can get out of the pool.

  136. The wall is better than fences and barriers. The wall is a brand new Audi while the current fences and barriers are rusted out old Chevies. You may be satisfied with the old rust bucket but eventually you need to upgrade. More old Chevies aren't an upgrade. Is it ego to want to fulfil an election promise, the promise that was the centre point of his election campaign? I always thought that it was a good thing to do everything possible to come good on a promise. I guess it's not, according to you. I'll bet if it has Hillary trying to make good on an election promise, you'd call it integrity. Your position isn't about the wall, at all. You don't like Trump and his failing to keep an election promise is a good thing, no matter what that promise is. It's a knee jerk reaction and then you go looking for reasons that justify why it's okay to have those reactions. It's personality politics basically saying "I don't like you so I refuse to cooperate....EVER!!!!.....no matter what".

  137.  @PeacockPoverty  As a person I find Trump a very unlikable guy. However, that's not the point, at all. If fences or barriers have been an integral part of border security, then an even better barrier should be more effective. He made a promise of building an effective wall between the two countries that would stem the number of future illegal immigrants. He's doing everything he can to keep that promise and he's being opposed, tooth and nail, by the Democrats, not because it's a bad idea, but because they don't like the idea of him keeping a big election promise. Also, the idea that he was going to get the Mexicans to pay for that wall was just election rhetoric and no one took him seriously...at least non of his supporters did. They knew it was just tongue in cheek election banter of a windbag. It's like promising my wife a new car and saying that YOU, PeacockPoverty, was going to pay for it. She'd know that it was nonsense but she'd still expect that car. The point is this. Would an 15 foot high wall be more effective than the fence that is in place now? Having grown up on a farm and climbed over fences most of my life, I know for a fact that it is. Not even a maybe about it. The only problem that the Democrats have with it is that it's Trump's election promise. Nothing else. It's why they call the wall immoral, even though they supported a barrier 5 years ago. It's why Pelosi wouldn't meet with the "Angel Moms". That would be an admission that there were criminal elements crossing the wall, as well. It's why Democrats are tacitly supporting sanctuary cities, something that the Obama government would NEVER have accepted 5 years ago. It's all about derailing Trump. It's never been about what's right or effective. They're determined that Trump cannot succeed in the one thing that is obviously concrete and real. His other programs, like the initiative to set up opportunity zones or to help women succeed in business in 3rd world countries are abstract and can be ignored. A wall can be pointed at and its existence could not be denied. That's why they oppose it. A concrete reminder that Trump came good on a promise cannot be allowed....EVER.

  138.  @PeacockPoverty  Trump has already allowed that there are areas which won't need the fence due to natural barriers. He's not even trying for a complete wall from sea to sea. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/13/mexico-border-wall-trump-plan-wont-need-full-border Hurd is the only Republican, on the border, that has opposed a cross country wall and Trump has already agreed that it's impractical to do it. However, Hurd is still strong on border security but some of the land owners don't want their land appropriated to build a wall and he supports that. However, if a lot of his district is impassable due to terrain, it would also appear that these landowners don't have the hundreds of migrants crossing their land all the time. The natural barrier is stopping them so their argument makes sense, especially since they're the ones that would give up the land to put the unnecessary part of the wall up. Also, Ted Cruz does support the wall. He said so many times in this interview on Fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOEQjQMyOBA Build that wall. He said it more than once. Trump has agreed to a limited wall, wants other security measures, more border patrol agents and more judges to process those that seek asylum. Everything that you've just wrote in your comment....yet you still oppose it. Saying that they oppose the wall because they don't like Trump isn't ridiculous spin, either. I know that for the simple reason that the MAGA hats, the ones carrying the Trump election slogan, will set people off in a rage. A bunch of Catholic kids wearing them, invoked the rage of a bunch of Black Israelites and then the nation and that story was spun viciously out of control. Why? It's those hats and their link to Trump. People have even admitted it to be true. When Whoopi Goldberg asked why they would fall prey to these types of stories, Joy Behar replied "because we're so desperate to get rid of Trump".....and she's right. The Democrats, especially the MSM, has been spinning so many stories in an effort to denigrate Trump, that some people aren't trusting them anymore and their ratings have been falling. Democrat opposition to Trump has become a series of knee jerk reactions. I don't see why the wall issue would be any different.

  139.  @PeacockPoverty  If he didn't start there, then he must have changed and there has to be a reason for it. The reason was simply this. He listened to those who knew the most about the subject. Instead of a solid wall, border agents told him it would be better to have a wall they could see through and explained why. So now, you can see through the wall. He's no longer concerned with a sea to sea wall because he was told and understood that there are areas that the wall would be redundant due to hostile terrain. So, like you say, he's adapted to new information. This doesn't mean he's not committed to building a wall or the it's a totally bad idea. It means he listens and will adapt his thinking and is willing to negotiate if others will negotiate with him. However, there is no negotiating for the wall from the Democrats. "Not one dollar" from Pelosi. She has dug in her heels and so has Trump. Trump because it'a a campaign promise and Pelosi because.......reasons.

  140.  @PeacockPoverty  First of all, those lies have NOTHING to do with the effectiveness of a wall. Not a thing. We're discussing a wall and whether it should be built. It's illogical to say the wall shouldn't be built because Trump lied about the economy. A true non sequitur. Also, just because Trump wants to take credit for the wall, isn't proof that it shouldn't be built, either. Why would anyone take credit for a something that wasn't a good thing. Then you say that he'll take credit for parts of the wall he didn't build. So then, who built those parts of the wall? Could it be the Democrats who approved of it 5 years ago and even bragged of it as an accomplishment? Okay...he shouldn't take credit for it. Fine.....but it's still a good idea to build it. To say that you don't want Trump to build it so he can't brag he did it, isn't very mature either and it's quite self serving. Better to not have a good thing then to allow Trump to take the glory for it. Yeah....that's not personal at all.

  141.  @PeacockPoverty  How many times can a person say the words lie or liar in a couple of comments? Your obsessed with his lying. I'm talking about the wall and I believe I'm bring up some good points on why the wall should be built. That has nothing to do with Trump. I don't think a fence or the barriers in place today are good enough. It should be a more intimidating barrier, like the ones that are being erected right now. Higher and a lot more difficult to climb. Ones that the very young, the old, the infirm, those that are overweight or out of shape could never climb over. A wall that would take a major effort to scale and would only be possible for the most able of individuals. Ones that would hold up the migrant long enough for the border patrol to detect and stop them. The fences are there and they were better than nothing. However, the wall being built now is better than the fence or the barriers built in the past. If they're going to put up a fence to stop it, why not do it right and put up an even better apparatus to do the job? All "Trumps" wall amounts to is a better version of the fence already there. This isn't about Trump although that's what you've reduced it to.....just like a lot of the Democrat politicians. It's about having the best possible deterrent for the migrants. A fence isn't good enough. However, you'll never see that because.....Trump lies. That's all you can see. How myopic.

  142.  @PeacockPoverty  I don't CARE who's building that structure at the border. You do. You're not railing about the fences that already exist. You're going on about the structure that's being built right now. You hate it, not because you're against any structure at the border. You hate THIS structure because of the person who's behind getting it built. You can't separate the two. Your entire viewpoint is blinded by your hatred of Trump. You're proving my point. You can't even see that due to your blind hatred. You can't discuss it without going off on a rant on how Trump is a liar. If his wall is wrong, then so is the fence that Obama built. You should be insisting that it all should be torn down.....but you're not. You only hate the structure that Trump is building and there is only ONE reason for it. You hate Trump. You've proved my point and you're too blind to see that.

  143.  @PeacockPoverty  I can't but I can read your comments. Every comment you've made against the wall had nothing to do with the wall. Everything was about Trump. You've conflated the two. That's how I can safely assert that you're against the wall due to your hatred of Trump. If a structure, built on the border to deter illegal immigrants, is such a heinous idea, you'd have complained about the structure that was built during the Obama administration. You've not said a word about it, because the wall is not the issue. Trump is the issue and if you were honest, you'd realise it.

  144.  @PeacockPoverty  You've just proved my point again. How is a fence, designed to keep out "brown people" not racist, but a wall, designed to keep out "brown people" is racist? How is a border agent, who's job it is to keep out "brown people" not racist but a wall, designed to do the same thing, is racist? What is the distinguishing factor here? Answer that question without once bringing up Trump's name or any allusion to his existence. Try that for once. As for that assertion that the KKK is now cool again, even the SPLC says that it has been in a steady decline. Richard Spencer is hardly to be found on a google search except for year old news and for the fact that he's now in trouble for domestic abuse. Spencer first supported Trump but once again, the SPLC and said that his white nationalist movement is dissatisfied with Trump's presidency. He no longer supports Trump because he's decided that Trump doesn't follow his white supremacy ideals at all. As for your claim about the horror Trump has wreaked on "brown" children, the facts show differently. Those famous pictures that showed children sleeping in cages, were taken in 2014, during Obama's administration. https://qz.com/1291470/photos-immigrant-children-detained-at-the-placement-center-in-2014/ https://www.apnews.com/a98f26f7c9424b44b7fa927ea1acd4d4 Trump was still running a reality TV show back then. In fact, Trump signed an executive order stopping the separation of families last June. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/politics/trump-separation-action-immigration/index.html This is from CNN, a news network that makes no secret of their hatred of Donald Trump. These are facts and easily verifiable. In fact, your entire tirade really doesn't prove that a wall is racist. Make that argument that the wall is racist without any references to Trump. If a wall is racist, that fact should stand on its own and there should be no need to invoke his name. To make this argument even more ridiculous, I don't like Trump, either. He's a loud mouthed blowhard, given to bouts of boasting and exaggerations to the point of full out BS. However, that has nothing to do with the wall or the facts. As a matter of fact, I think the distortion of facts around Trump might be a major factor in his being re-elected. The Democrats under estimated him and then alienated the entire centre of the country by calling them deplorables who lived in the "fly over" centre of America. That was a grave mistake and they'd better learn from it or they will lose again.

  145.  @PeacockPoverty  There are only 2 known sightings in the US of jaguars and one was shot last year. Not a big issue as yet. As for the ocelots, that may have an impact although most of the ocelots in Texas are in the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge on the coast and are too far away to migrate to Mexico. There are other pockets along the border and you're right about those. As for the butterflies, they have a unique capability. They know how to fly. I'm thousands of miles from Mexico and the Monarch is common around here and has to migrate to all the way to Mexico. Apparently they can do it and they have to cross the Mississippi River. It's miles across. A wall would appear to be a puny deterrent to that. But yes, it would impact some wildlife. How much is hard to say. It's one of those cost benefits analysis that must be made. However, the growth of major cities has had a much greater impact on wildlife that any wall could ever have. Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, just to name a few, and all the suburban areas involved have disrupted wildlife habitat exponentially more than a wall would. The diversion of water to California from the Colorado has had a major impact on the environment along that river. Most of the illegal immigrants are going to California, so more water will be needed to supply them. So it takes from one to add to another. Nothing that we do as modern humans doesn't have its cost. Emptying Lake Mead to supply a growing California, partially due to added illegals, is a very high cost as well. A decent consideration but not a deal breaker. Especially when you include the word "could". "Could" isn't a word used to describe a definitive problem.

  146.  @PeacockPoverty  What a wild-eyed crazed rant that was. You didn't actually read a thing I wrote and neither did you even bother to read the references I gave. You just blathered the same nonsense you did before even though I proved to you that you were wrong. This "fence good" "wall bad" argument is pure nonsense, nothing else. I've given you all kinds of opportunities to offer up a cogent and logical case but all I've seen are head exploding angry rhetoric and repetition. If you're any indication of what is the best that the Democrats can offer up as a platform, they're screwed. You'll have Trump till 2024. By the way, I'm not even American. I'm Canadian so Trump is NOT my master. As a matter he's screwed us in the NAFTA deal, although I attribute a good part of the blame to that to Trudeau, the nut who negotiates with a gender's studies adviser. I wanted to see if I could get a reasonable reason why a wall shouldn't be built and all I got was a rant about a wall being a symbol of racism and a lot of nothing. You've done a lot to convince me that us Canadians are going to be stuck negotiating with Trump for the next 6 years instead of 2. Another thing....my sister was deported from the US and she's a red headed, blue eyed white woman. She jumped the fence into the US because she has a criminal record. You see, the US will not allow the most blond haired, blue eyed, MAGA hat wearing, white Canadian into the US, if they have DUI conviction. That's because it has nothing to do with race....but you're to crazed with anger to be able to digest any information anyway. Good luck, you lunatic. You're going to need it with Trump as your master for the next 6 years.

If you want to talk environmental disasters, try reading about the Aral Sea, called by some the worst man made environmental disaster in history. The far left socialists of the Soviet Union did that. I've even read Marx as well as socialist educator Paulo Friere, the post modernist Foucault, Derrida and have a book by Jean-Francois Lyotard on my reading list. I've also read Chomsky and listened to a lot of his talks. Socialists all. Don't treat me like I don't know the subject. You don't know me.

  159.  @John-zn4lp  In other words, the trial should be performative, an almost pointless exercise as a showcase, not a true trial at all. Guilty until proven innocent. Fool enough of the jury of what, exactly? That electoral fraud can't exist? That would surprise Rachel Rodrigues. She been charged for doing exactly that in the 2020 election. It's hardly been highlighted in the MSM because, although she's a Republican, it proves that the fraud CAN happen and the Trump is correct. Hillary Clinton said that Biden should NEVER concede to Trump, no matter what. Why? Because of election fraud. In fact, Trump was accused of election fraud in the 2016 elections. That's why he was impeached the first time. So to say electoral fraud isn't a possibility is either naive or an intentional falsehood.

If they can twist that, they could twist anything into what they want it to mean. I wouldn't say anything. If I said "innocent" they'd swear that I just pleaded "guilty" and that anyone that understands dogwhislting would know that.

  164. @vicky-zy4de Is no the answer? Musk has been involved in space exploration and has been working with NASA for years, under both Democrats and Republicans. He's sending satellites into space as an American citizen. Would he not need security checks for that? So, I checked. Apparently, he has had top security clearance for years and it was due to his involvement in the space industry and NASA. He's also said that way too much is classified and that the government has being using it to hide actions which could be seen as highly dubious and even unethical. No surprise there. What really surprises me is that DOGE is uncovering examples of HUGE government waste and corruption. Billions and billions of our tax money. Yet, some people are complaining. Why would you, why would ANYONE, be upset at the person who's revealing that our government and its bureaucracy is using our tax money as a personal piggy bank? That baffles me.

  165.  @andrewalderman9489  Such a simplistic answer. The bank accepted Trump's assessment, gave him the money and he paid it back with interest. Where's the fraud? If the bank doesn't perform their own assessment of that property, that's on them. It's standard procedure in the banking business. They gave Trump that money because they were satisfied with his statement. This isn't just about Trump. This is about using the court system to take down a private citizen. Today Trump....tomorrow it will be you. Don't give anyone that kind of power. You may regret it someday.

How are they going to buy votes in the 2028 elections? Will it be reparations, pay off mortgages, free groceries? An economy can't take that kind of wild spending without it going bankrupt. Hell, one month ago, the Federal government almost had to default on their financial obligations. Now they want to give away another 40 billion over and above what they almost defaulted on. Basic economics says you can't print money to run a country. It'll render the dollar worthless, forcing inflation rates higher and higher. Exactly what happened in Venezuela.

  173.  @diamonddavey2668  I live in a small town of 15000 and there are 2 cases of the virus. Our town has the largest military air base in Canada and it's where those that were on the cruise ship that landed in California were sent and quarantined. 2 of them now have the virus. If it wasn't for that, we'd have 0 as well. In North America, the per capita caseload is 1 in 310,000 people. It's unlikely that you'd know anyone, anyway. Unlike, some countrie in Europe. There it's about 1 in 15000 almost 25 times higher. If we had that rate here, there'd be over 24,000 cases and you might have a couple at the hospital where your wife works. It's one thing to not trust politicians but it's another to disbelieve EVERYTHING. You may well end up regretting that. It doesn't mean that you have to go crazy. A few precautions is all that's needed.

These addictions and mental health issues are causing them to commit crimes and posing a danger to ordinary citizens. An addiction is a disease and so are the many variations of mental health diseases. Yet, we allow them to go untreated, letting them roam the streets, alone and afraid. That is the travesty of these homeless encampments. Treat the disease and you clean up the streets of those encampments. However, it seems we'd rather watch them die, alone, addicted and afraid and we're doing it under the guise of compassion. Nothing compassionate about it. We don't do this to those suffering from other diseases, yet we're quite comfortable to allow their health afflictions go undiagnosed and untreated. Your comment is vague in its scope and offers nothing but more of the same.

  183.  @AlexanderStHill  That vaccine was a mistake made with good intentions. The real BS came when the Democrats first insulted those efforts and then FORCED every American to take the vaccines, that Trump initiated, no matter what. I think that most of us were wanting a safe vaccine, something that would halt the spread and medicine that would help those that did come down with Covid. The Democrats smeared every proposed medicine that might help the sick but they FORCED the healthy to take the vaccine. Both the sick and the healthy were punished by the Democrats. The Republicans didn't do that. I'm afraid your vaccine claim is a very poor one. Explain to me why I'm wrong. Always open to a good discussion if I'm missing something.

  184.  @robyoung-pl1gq  No policies? Are we talking about the same guy? It's Trump that we're talking about. He built the wall, in spite of the fact that the Democrats fought him tooth and nail. He made deals with Mexico and other countries to stem the slow of migrants crossing the border, including the "Remain in Mexico" deal. He lowered taxes. He made trade deals and took on the megalith, China, who's been killing manufacturing in the US. He brokered peace deals between Israel and Muslim nations. He stopped payments to Iran. He forced NATO countries to pay their fair share to defend themselves. He introduced the Economic Development plan to help poor regions. He signed a Free Trade Deal with Canada and Mexico so those 3 countries could bring back manufacturing jobs and develop their natural resources. He brought in the First Step Act and then later signed the Second Chance Act to help prisoner to rebuild their lives when they got out of jail. He set up the traditional Black Universities to be funded for a ten year stretch, instead of forcing them to apply every year. No policies??? You're either talking about someone else or you're a troll.

This is from the country that has the richest oil reserves in the world. The Chavez government totally destroyed the means to production through corruption and terrible social and economic policies. He, as the elected president, is responsible for the country and its social and economic welfare. He failed and failed miserably.

  187.  @DennepeerRelaxation  It's up to the Deutsche Bank to decide if they've been the victim of fraud. They got their money back, with interest. The loan was paid off....so they weren't victimised. The bank obviously didn't even check on the numbers because it's standard procedure to do just that when giving out a loan. In fact, it's one of the main sources of income for a real estate appraisal company. They appraise property, for banks, in loan applications. Deutsche Bank quite obviously didn't feel it necessary to do this, for whatever reason and it is up to them, NOT a state Attorney General. An AG has no business telling a bank that they're engaging in bad business policies. The AG has said that she was going to "get Trump" and then she looked until she thought she found something. If Trump is guilty of fraud, what about the loan officers who didn't do their job? Are they guilty as well? This is a fraud without a victim. No one lost a cent. In fact, everyone involved MADE money. This isn't about fraud. It's about getting rid of a political opponent. If the banks didn't care, why would the AG care? There's only one reason. The AG doesn't like Trump and it's malicious prosecution.

There's strong evidence that his son was involved in corrupt dealings in Ukraine, Russia and China and there are links to his father, our current president. Biden has also been caught with classified documents, on his property, from his time as vice-president. These are incidents that must be investigated. Trump has nothing to do with this. Just because Trump was corrupt, that doesn't mean that no other subsequent president could be corrupt. We have to deal with them as they come. It's not just naive to let Biden off the hook because "orange man bad". It's just plain dumb. Deal with the issue of today, the president of today, not the president of yesterday.

  198.  Dubjax 28  "The income gap between highest and lowest earners has never been wider in US history." So what? It's NOT about what someone else has, it's about what I have. That's how you should look at it. Are things better for me now than they were a couple of years ago and does the future look brighter at the moment. You're turning this into an economy of envy. What someone else has doesn't impact me. I can't spend someone else's money on me. The deficit is a huge problem. However, how are you going to pay it off if the economy is in the tank. You have to start to make money before you can pay off your debts. That's common sense. If this economy continues to improve and the deficit keeps growing in the future, then we should start questioning why this is happening. If I'm going bankrupt and my wages aren't helping, I have to improve my financial position. I'll just keep going deeper into debt until I pare down my life style or improve my wage situation. That's the same with the government. Get all those troops out of the Middle East, just like you promised, Trump, and apply the savings to the deficit. The economy has improved so you can do this. Keep that promise of withdrawing troops. No matter how you slice it, the economy is doing great. Now, the government in power has to take advantage of it. Let's see if, after the next election, Trump can do as well with the deficit as he has with the economy.

You think that Russia is a bad country but Ukraine has been named as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, even reaching all the way to the 3rd most corrupt. The only difference between those 2 countries is that one has more power. That's it. It doesn't make Ukraine any less corrupt. It might make them more manipulative, though.

You wear it, it gets dirty so you wash it as a normal person does...and it's comes out with a few MORE stains in it and you repeat this until all your clothes are so dingy looking that you throw them all out and buy new clothes. What the hell does Trump have to do with this? What's this obsession with Trump? Why is it that with every discussion someone invariably goes "TRUMP". That's the totality of your argument. You can't come up with anything except invoking the name of Trump. That's incredibly small minded.

If they lied about Trump and Russia, why wouldn't they lie about the elections? It was the Democrats that fostered the atmosphere of distrust and anger and then they used that anger to further indict average Americans. Now.....BACK to the topic on hand. If you want your Party to have credibility you have to expect them to have ethical values of the highest standards.

  205. CRT is another tactic to pit Americans against each other. Jim Crow didn't work so they've come up with another way to divide us. Why wouldn't people be resentful, especially the Americans of African heritage, of those who have "white privilege". Any normal person would feel animus towards those, that they've been told, who have the privilege and power to keep them down. "It's not YOUR fault....it's them. Those white devils" Then white Americans become indignant and resent being told how terrible they are.....and those with race obsessions just keep picking at that wound until it festers and destroys everything. It's always been the tactic of the resentful. There's a reason why "Thou shalt not covet" is one of the Ten Commandments. The envy, that goes with coveting the lives of others, is one of the most destructive forces in human society and history demonstrates this to be true, over and over again. That's why this insidious ideology has to end.

  207.  @blackstreetztv1763  I don't see how that's possible. My investment portfolio hasn't grown, as it has over the last 2 years, in a long time. That doesn't happen when the economy isn't growing. That's a fact. When the last recession hit, 10 years ago, I took a bath, along with a lot of other people. That's what happens during a recession. When the economy is growing, investments are healthy. I don't know how long it will last but it's been really good for the last 2 years. However, I'm afraid that impeachment might just hurt the economy and if it doesn't work but the Democrats win the election next year, I'm really pessimistic about the economy. When you have money on the line, you look at things differently than you do when its an ideological viewpoint. Ideology doesn't put food on the table. Hard work and a creative economy does that.

  208.  @blackstreetztv1763  I'm doing fine because the economy is doing fine. This is just ordinary investing and everyone I know is happy how their portfolios are growing.

I'm far from rich but things are good, better they've been in years because of a very healthy economy. You've basically said nothing in either one of your comments. First you made a claim of a bad economy and then, when confronted, you call that person "selfish". That's quite the astute economic assessment that you have there. You can't even understand the implications of what I've been saying.

The very same way that cell phones, computers, the car and other new technologies became common place. The people wanted it and when it became economically feasible, the people bought into of themselves. However, it will mean creating an investment climate that would encourage the research and the development of these types of new cleaner techs. Instead of an incessant tirade of "do nots" we should concentrate on inspiring people to "do".....which may well include your suggestion of advanced micro-nuclear reactors.

I'd say that they're both crooked as hell but I could be wrong. I mean, one is GOOD tax fraud and the other is BAD tax fraud. I can't tell the difference but I'm not political either.

That's a slap in the face to all those who did have to fight, who lost their lives, their health, both mental and physical....those who are still suffering trauma because of those combat experiences. Trump was eligible for the draft but he, upon the required medical exams, found to have bone spurs in his heels and he got a deferment from service. Was it a legit diagnosis, neither of us knows but one could get a deferment quite easily. I knew a guy who was deferred because he had different coloured eyes. However, we just don't know about Trump. What we do know about Walz is that he LIED about combat. Intentionally, with the intent of using that lie to further his political career.

  229. He turned off the television because Sondland had just testified that Trump wanted NOTHING from Ukraine. That's a good thing for Trump. Besides, Trump has work to do. He can't sit around and watch television all day. Did you not hear? He's on his way to Texas for the opening of a brand new Apple facility. More good news for the American worker. "I want NOTHING" isn't proof of wanting something. You're not making sense.

  230.  @poker4400  Funny how a wall or barrier was something that the Democrats bragged about in 2015 and is racist and useless in 2017. You have a point about large employers. They should be fined, heavily. However, that isn't the only way an illegal immigrant can make a living. The wall, not only provides a definitive barrier, it will also provide a road and a way to string security cameras to monitor the wall. Border agents would be able to get to trouble spots quickly and efficiently when movement is detected. When you have tens of thousands making the attempt every month, a tall steel wall is a definite deterrent, along with high tech cameras and a good road adding to the deterrence factor. Then apply the law within the country and maybe you'll get a handle on all the illegal entries.

  231.  @me_and_me_  Trump had the wisdom to consult with border agents to see what the best option would be. They told him that the steel wall was a better fit for this project and when they showed him why, he agreed. You see, he's adaptable. Smart people aren't rigid people. The reason that the revised wall hasn't been built yet is due to Democrat blocking the funding. He's getting it done anyway but it's taking longer.

  232.    I attributed it to arrogance. When the leader of your party refers to a large demographic as "deplorables", you're not looking at a group that is showing a lot of respect for the electorate. It makes me wonder what they think of those that DO vote for them. They probably think that they can sell them anything and like the good little flock that they are, they'll vote for them anyway.

  233.    When I heard her call voters "deplorables", I knew that she was going to lose. I wasn't even a Trump supporter and people knew that. I'm a bartender (a real one, not like AOC) and I told patrons that Trump was going to win and why and most of them laughed at me. Trump has grown on me and I'm still not fussy on his demeanor at times but he doesn't display the arrogance that I see from Hillary and a lot of her supporters. One patron agreed with her about the "deplorables" slur. He's always been an arrogant SOB himself. It doesn't speak well of their party and it explains their refusal to accept that they lost on their own merits. Arrogance begets stubbornness and it would appear that they're making the same mistakes in this upcoming election.

  235.  @marthell6159  Have you even looked into what was on that laptop? There's a lot of suspicious stuff on that hard drive and it all ties up with the suspicious bank transactions that were reported to the proper authorities. Bank transactions that go back BEFORE Trump was even president. Hunter Biden flew on Air Force 2, to China and a lot of his business deals appear to be related to China. It's strange that you completely ignore those transactions but go ahead. Dwell on the past. Are you seriously suggesting that Trump covered up the laptop story? He would still be president had he revealed that story. Instead, there are hearings right now that suggest that the FBI told Twitter and other platforms to bury the laptop story and to not allow the NY Post article to be shared on those platforms. 3 journalists, 2 of whom voted for Biden, all say they found this in the Twitter documents. Why would Trump sabotage his own election? You make no sense.

  236.  James Wisrik  First of all, what does tax breaks, subsidies and bailouts have to do with the homeless crisis is California? Why can't they both be issues that need addressing? All your saying is that we can't do anything to alleviate this homeless crisis because the Republicans are bad people. That's not only illogical....it's incredibly stupid. These drug addicts and mentally handicapped deserve help and the garbage should be cleaned up. Saying that the Democratic governments of California shouldn't do anything because you don't like Republicans tells me that you and those like you could care less about their plight. It's a disgusting attitude.

  237.  @4NickAder  The gun charge that Hunter Biden pled guilty to. He applied for a gun permit and then lied on the form that asked whether he was a drug user. He was kicked out of the military for using cocaine. It was also revealed, on the laptop, that he forgot to pick up from a computer shop that his girlfriend disposed of the gun in a dumpster across the road from a high school, another indictable offence. It's one of the reasons he's in court. This is all common knowledge. A quick and simple google search would keep you informed.....if it's your goal to stay informed and I highly doubt that it is.

  238. I thought that the California Democrats hated the rich and would welcome their Exodus. I know they like the poor. All you have to do is look at their policies that encourage the influx of the poor and homeless and their overt policy that invites illegals or "economic migrants" to their state. I thought that's what they wanted. It surely seems to be working that way.

  239. You can't charge someone with treason for being incompetent. We can impeach and we should but be bad at something is not illegal. It's grounds for dismissal and we have to dismiss Biden yesterday.

  240.  @agresseur7184  Where did I say "political differences"? I never said that. I said he should be impeached for incompetence. I don't think that this would be that difficult to prove. When Trump was president, the Democrats insisted that Trump was incompetent and that he should undergo a cognitive test. Had he failed, that would have been grounds for impeachment and rightly so. So Trump took the test and he passed with flying colours. Yet, we haven't seen a cognitive test for Biden, who shows every sign of dementia due to old age. Is it because the Democrats don't want to see a test that would prove that he's not competent to do the most important job on the planet? If Biden was a manager at MacDonald's they'd have dismissed him a long time ago because he's just not able to do the job any longer and it wouldn't be for political reasons. I would think that we'd ALL want the president of the most powerful country in the world, to be able to pass a cognitive test, to prove his competence.

  242.  @troutman-sw9qc  The Federal Government created the Dept. of Education. Are you saying that this same government can't investigate what they've created? What law is that? The most ridiculous thing that I've heard in a while. It would be like Coca Cola not being allowed to look into its own shipping department. Their money comes from Coca Cola. Of course they can find out if it's being wasted or not. Just like the Federal Government funds the Department of Education. Of course they can find out what they're getting for that money. You're either as dense as they come or you're a foreign agent trying to cause division in the country.

  243. @ The Federal Government created the Department of Education in 1979. That's only 46 years ago. Now, the Federal Government wants to see what the Dept. is doing, the department that they created and who they fund. How is that against the law?

  244.  @EdwardKwasi-d3v  Russia is funding those who want to hold the American bureaucracy to account? Is that your claim? I'd think that the Russians would WANT the bureaucracy to spend MORE money on waste and corruption. The more that's wasted the less that the Americans will have to spend on their military and helping Ukraine. So....my question is this. How much are the Russians paying YOU to spread propaganda on how good wasteful spending is.

  247. He even held that brass knuckle contraption to Zeldin's throat for a couple of seconds. It was an overt threat on his life. It's insane that he was automatically let go. The "soft on crime" policy is an intentional tactic to encourage chaos, to the point, where the Democrats can take over policing with their own policing force, much like how the Nazis did it with the SS. The Dems will claim it necessary to ensure safety in the streets. Then, when their strict measures are effective, they'll claim that they solved the crime crisis in America.....basically solving the problem that they created.

  248.  @codyrussow170  He didn't take those classified documents home intentionally? He didn't take them and then left them there, FOR YEARS, on purpose. It was just a mistake. This is what you WANT for a president??? Someone, who's not authorised to de-classify documents, just leaving them scattered about for years??? It's just an honest mistake. I wonder if his drug addicted son found documents that he used to bolster his standings with the Chinese government, which enabled some of his financial dealings over there??? After all, Joe appeared to have just left them around, unintentionally. How do YOU know if Hunter found them or not and used them for his own financial gain??

I'll give you that Trump is corrupt....but WHY do people like you seem to think that just because Trump is corrupt, Biden must be angelic? I just don't get it. Can't they BOTH be corrupt? Isn't THAT possible? You're running around after the corrupt Trump while allowing corrupt Biden to rip you off because you can't seem to accept that they can't both be unscrupulous. In your small mind, if Trump is Satan then Biden must be Jehovah. Grow up. Either that or your a Chinese bot...exactly what they're talking about in this video.

  251.  Love day  That is a completely different matter. Another thing that this birthrate number doesn't address is whether this is a stable rate or whether it is going up or down. It could be alarming but we can't know from one number. I gave a chart showing rates from 1960 to the present and it showed that it stood at a high of 6 in 1960 and has been on a downward trend since. That would imply that the Muslim rate has been in decline as well but not as fast as the Hindu rate. However, I don't know because you've not shown a trend.
