  1. Congress passes laws that empower the Executive to make all the rules. Thus, any anger over the results fall on the Executive and the courts. Then, your local incumbent can rage about what the other side does, and get re-elected. SCOTUS is getting wise to the game.

  2. On the day this happened I posted my belief that local police were inside for the AC because it was hot on that roof. I really, really, hope Im wrong.

  3. While at the polling place remember whether your incumbent walked the walk, or just talked the talk.

  4. Why do I get the feeling that the more obviously correct is Senator Paul, the less likely it is that Republicans will listen? All I can hope is that we remember their votes in 2 years.

  6. It feels good to win, and revenge has its appeal. But jailing your opponents is just eye for an eye justice. Its a cycle that has no end.

  7. Among Senate Republicans running in 2026 are Collins, Cassidy, and Cornyn. Also Joni Ernst. Reward the reformers and punish the crooks. By their votes ye shall know them.

  8. Public figures can not be defamed, because people have a right to criticize public officials, even the ones we like.

  9. This may be the most important speech on foreign policy by an American Vice President, ever.

  10. Once again Forbes distinguished itself by simply doing their job. I note that the questions from reporters were challenging, but they weren't "gothca" type. Maybe Forbes is rubbing off on the rest of the gaggle.

  11. None of these expenditures have an end point. Anything we did last year we have to do this year, for more money than last year. Congress can raise the debt ceiling by $ Billions a year but they can't find one penny to cut.

  15.  @formerastronaut  This round you mean? Russia. But this region of the world has been the cause of way too many wars over who started it.

  16. I live 10 miles from this townhall site. Bedford County may well vote over 90% for Trump. In 2020 the percentage was above 75%, but turnout was low, as it was in 2022. My take? We can still lose. We have to swamp the Democratic vote with turnout in order to beat Pa Democrats. If its close the criminals in Josh Shapiro's Elections Bureau will delay the count until they assemble enough votes to declare Harris the winner. They've done it before. The state elections people are running ads where they promise to make double sure ALL the votes are counted. Why do you suppose that is?

  17. They used voter info to register people who didn't know they were registered, then allowed people without ID to vote. This is why Democrats hate voter ID

  18.  @nicthemickatx  Agree. I make it about a 1 in 10 chance.

  19. Just spit-ballin here, but how does a Vance/Donald ticket sound in about 3 years 8 months?

  20. The headline contains a lie. The Garda detailed the kids, but pointedly avoided any details about the attacker except to say the 'adult male age 50', is a person of interest. We got no details about the attacker except "no link to terrorism". Yeah right.

  22. In my life, 3 times a gun stopped a violent attack. Only one shot fired. If you can't handle a gun, don't own one. But its useless to tell me guns are evil. Guns are tools. People can be evil, but a gun can't. And every time a legislator tries to limit our rights, hundreds of new gun owners appear.

  27. He presumes health care costs are the driver of debt. He ignores the reality of the fact that Congress sends our money to favored corporations and NGOS, refusing to limit spending with those entities because they keep the "campaign contributions" coming. Schwiekert proposes nothing that will change that. He's a liar, and an co-conspirator with the thieves in Congress.

  28. Or a "Truth only" collar with settings from 15 to 60vac. 15 is for the first question (as a reminder of their oath). 60 is for when, in answer to a yes/no question the witness says "Senator, my department is committed to..... ZAP!"

  29. I had the misfortune of being required to analyze the effect of a bill on a revenue stream. There were so many laws on the books already that more than 50 of the bills 500 or so pages were specifically to amend other laws. I started telling lawyer and congressman jokes at about that time.

  30.  @nicolasolton  Well, the fact that American Senators become dynastically wealthy, get virtually all the campaign money, and get us into wars that last 10 years is a clue. Not proof of course, but c'mon, really?

  31. They are using UNRWA to pay off terrorist leaders without admitting it. The intent is to bribe them into committing fewer actions on American soil. That is the link to national security mentioned. I doubt she was supposed to go that far and say so out loud.

  32. Do you imagine that the bureaucracy is the government? The agencies work for the President and he works for us, not your congressman. And we want our republic back. And the money too.

  33. The basis of all American wealth is the use of natural resources on public land. Our elected officials and the bureaucracy have effectively claimed ownership of these resources and denied them to American citizens who own them. They then use that power to decide who will be permitted access to these resources, and become millionaires by extorting money from Citizens who want to develop those resources. Your country no longer belongs to you, but is owned and controlled by the majority party.

  34. Interesting that the Qatari Prince made a public announcement condemning the Oct. 7 attacks on Oct. 9. He said that the taking of hostages can never be considered an act of war and condemned Hamas for their action and said that taking hostages is never acceptable in war.

  35. We used to have a right to a speedy trial. This judge is like every appointed bureaucrat. They insist they can't be both on-time and right, so they ignoe the "speedy trial" part.

  36. While world leaders cry like a room full of toddlers when Daddy hollers at them. The citizens back home are saying "I know, right? Who do they think they are?"

  37. They essentially put Hunter on a private tour bus thru the legal system, and promised to give him his own private judge in case sh#t blows up.

  38. It says something about progressive bureaucrats that they think its ok to ignore the will of the people. They believe in democracy only when they get their way.

  39. "Bone deep down to the marrow stupid!" Gotta love Sen. Kennedy . Any time an older white politicians uses a 'aw shucks' accent, you know he's about to destroy your claims .

  40. There is a good answer to "which weapons" would you ban: I would ban all those weapons which a government agency defined as an assault weapon."

  41.  @armedfarm3429  Sure. I'm sure they sell a few as well. I recall Obama foisting a program on us based on selling chevy volts. Lots of money spent, not many volts sold. Taxpayers screwed, GM and the UAW in love with Democrats. Same time Tesla, no taxpayer money, impeded at every turn by bureaucrats, lots of Teslas on the road. So, INMHO, if you don't see their game, you should look closer. They are not interested in electric cars, they are interested in spending money with corporations that are willing to pretend to support the goal. Both govt and industry wants to stay away from genuine solutions because that kills the goose that lays the golden egg.

  43. This really smells. It looks to me like the investigation is going to be characterized by cross agency accusations, and little or no truth or transparency.

  45. They're used to being able to pick a lie on Sunday and repeat it til Friday. Now they can only lie for an hour or so before Trump does a new thing that outrages them. The first lie is old news before the 6 O'clock news.

  46. It occurs to me that Elon spent $44billion for X and earned $100billion worth of respect from the world.

  47. Biden promised in a debate with Trump that he would destroy your friend's livelihood. And they voted for him!? If they did they get no sympathy from me.

  50.  @tootsieshmutsie6428 The tarriffs are aimed at Trudeau. Unfortunately, Canadians elected him, so you get hit too. No one either side is very happy about it.
