We need more truly affordable housing, and better supervision of the housing industry. Remember the 2008 housing bubble? This is an industry that is often irresponsible.

ABC has good coverage of a protest of Israeli citizens yesterday against netanyahu. He's not fooling as many people as he thinks he is. Netanyahu has been in power since 1996. Why? Hamas has been in power since 2006. Why? Start over with two new prime ministers on both sides, people with diplomatic perspectives. Enough.

Actually, President Biden has an impressive legislative record, plus the expansion of NATO and Pacific alliances, etc. President Biden got legislation across the finish line with razor thin majorities; LBJ had much wider margins to work with. LBJ, FDR , Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt the trust buster, Truman who desegregated the military, Eisenhower, many many great presidents to choose from. This is not a contest, this is about service to the nation. Go Kamala, go. 🗽⚖️💙🌊💙🌊⚖️🗽

President Biden has an impressive legislative record, despite razor thin margins that LBJ didn't have to worry about. We were lucky to have President Biden with us these several years. Now, go Kamala go! 💙🌊💙🌊

@z0h-k3o Very nice to discuss the Enlightenment on the internet! Lol. I guess I'm a bit nervous about the whole west vs mideast thing. Too often it can be used as a smoke screen for xenophobia, anti immigration, etc. I wouldn't want it to sound like we are saying that the West is more enlightened? Ouch! First of all, we have been messing up a lot globally, so we haven't been in an enlightened place for a few years. Also, "the west is best" is an invitation to anti west groups. Isn't this more about feminism? A woman without power cannot choose the number of children she has irregardless of the economics of the family/husband. And I'm not sure that any of the gentlemen of the enlightenment were feminists? Jefferson, definitely not! Lol

@z0h-k3o Then the religious issue is layered on top of all that. Of course I prefer a secular society, but maybe that's what I'm used to? France, Italy, Spain are all officially catholic countries, but are really secular societies anyway. Judging from the way religion is handled in the USA, yes it does seem that religion can be an invitation to anti female behavior, but then again lots if Catholic nuns are the definition of feminism! I do agree that some of the clerics who govern in the middle east might remind us why separation of church and state was so important to the founders. But Syria is not controlled by a cleric so...

Please remember that refugees seeking asylum are not illegals who do not deserve to be here. Refugees are protected by international law in addition to USA laws. The real problem is outdated immigration legislation that has no workable mechanism for handling refugees. And whatever systems we did have were broken by the mismanagement of the pumpkin headed grifter. In addition, if Abbott is addressing his border the way he addresses gun safety, well ...that says it all. Imagine if NYC handled its harbor that way?

@lillyCfields Biden has already paid down a huge chunk of national debt created by the pumpkin headed grifter. You're welcome. Vote blue 💙 in November for more success with getting things done instead of clowning for Fox entertainment.

Ura Aru: A beautiful bright blue 💙 Congress will help continue the flow of much needed legislation. Democrats write bills, pass laws and sign laws. Maintain the majority in the House, increase the majority in the Senate. Keep the gavel out of McCarthy's hand so we can get things done and complete insurrection accountability.

@raymonddriggers I only respond to comments that post in the thread. Figure it out.

@lillyCfields Regarding national debt, the Clinton administration ended with a surplus. Bush ballooned the budget with a tax cut instead of using the surplus to make social security viable again. Then the great recession of 2008. Then Obama fixes the recession and the economy is growing again. The pumpkin headed grifter arrives and balloons the budget with a tax cut. It just seems to be that one party has been creating the deficit problems. Please remember Reagan presided over intense inflation for almost his entire presidency. The Monroe doctrine indicates that we take responsibility for our hemisphere. It is true that the USA is the wealthiest nation in our hemisphere. If not us, then who? Guatemala? Maybe it's time to develop strategies for our hemisphere, in concert with our neighboring nations. But it will be clear to everyone that the larger nations should take the lead. "The border is closed" is not a strategy; it was barely a temporary tactic for COVID. Closing the border, whatever that means in practice, also does not work because international law protects refugees. Clearly there are multiple crises in our hemisphere that are creating waves of refugees arriving at our border. In the 1880s many international events resulted in large waves of desperate immigrants arriving in our port cities, and those cities stretched with the influx of millions and millions of people. Now the challenge is at the southern border. Now it's time for those governors and mayors to meet the moment like others met the moment in the 1880s. Unless you are a member of a native American nation, you and your ancestors benefited from the fact that the USA has always been a nation of refugees and immigrants.
