He offered to pay the TSA's salary
It's not quite that easy.
He can't pay them directly. He would have to make a special gift/donation to the Treasury Department. Congress would then have to pass a special allocation to use that gift to pay the TSA workers.
There's no guarantee that would get passed. Plus it would just kick the can down the road, as well as you still have no allocation for FEMA, civilians who work for the Coast Guard,, etc

After Hart of Dixie she had a recurring role on the last season of Nashville. Not sure if she's done anything since.

Harpers ferry is a national park
Technically it's a national historic park. Like national monuments and national battlefield parks, national historic parks are administered by the national park service but are not true "national parks."

It’s not a rookie card. And if you read the back of the card, that jersey piece is not game worn (really common now to look out for). Material not tied to a particular player, game, or event.
I've been out of the collectibles game for a long time now but it's my understanding that's a real issue with some collectors these days. You get a card and the jersey swatch not only isn't from that player, it's not even from that team. It isn't game used.
I think nowadays you really have to send the cards off to be authenticated, graded, and slabbed before you attempt to sell it for any real value.

before the 55 bs started during the energy crisis I don’t there were speed limits at all out there on a lot of highways
After the energy crisis when fedgov rescinded the national speed limit and turned it back to the states either Wyoming or Montana didn't put a number on their speed limit it was just something like appropriate for the given conditions.
At some point I think it got challenged in court because two different people with different vehicles in the same conditions could have different appropriate speeds.
Finally fedgov wrote it into the federal highway appropriations bill that there had to be a defined upper limit.

Yes, the standing is the same as the talking filibuster
I saw something the other day on Twitter...I think from Jamie Dupree, that said the talking filibuster allows each senator 2 different 3 hour blocks of time to speak on the main bill and any questions/amendments. With the SAVE act there are or were 7 open questions, so if each of the 47 Democrat senators used their full allotment of time (47x6x7) there would be 1,974 hours, or just over 82 days. And, I believe, that the Senate could never adjourn, because the 2 speech rule resets each new business day.

Wow, the Meno Care Massager maintains vaginal wellness. Can't pass that up. Can we use HSA funds for that?

Obamacare was far more impactful, and didn’t get 60 votes.
Obamacare was passed via reconciliation; those bills can't be filibustered. That's why there was the big issue of the individual mandate penalty being a "tax" because it allowed it to be considered a revenue bill.

He's likely being told Americans support the war in Iran, by and large, and those that don't support it are just leftists that hate everything he does
Which is by and large true
The most recent polling (Schoen Cooperman Research) shows 44 percent in favor, 41 percent opposed. 82 percent of Republicans support, only 17 percent of Democrats do.
Last week Quinnipac had it as 53/40 against but again 85 percent of Republicans in that poll support it while only 7 percent of Democrats do.

Probably Asian but as someone else noted it depends on which Asian country.
Former friend of the family married a Filipino girl. She was great the first little bit, but then it became "can we bring my mom and dad to the USA?" Once they got here "Can mom and dad stay with us?" She got a job as a maid in a hotel with a mostly Filipino housekeeping staff and it slowly morphed into the Eddie Murphy bit...

Scarbs tweet is what I was referring to. Unless there is another interview that I'm not aware of, he is taking the quality wins piece out of context based on the CBS selection show interview.

That post is a bit disingenuous.
He said (paraphrasing) they had some high quality wins against UNC and Louisville when they were at full strength. They had a key player get hurt and lost several games in a row; however, the injured player is returning for the tournament and they feel like SMU can be competitive again.

It’s a great show in person.
It really is. Not only on the field but how they keep the crowd in it. Catch a foul ball in the stands? Out.
When we went to see them at Truist last year, the Mannannas grabbed my buddy and had him as part of a three man dance off during pregame.

They could vote on the House bill without the filibuster even being relevant. And the bill would pass with only 50 senate votes.
What?
You still have to have cloture (60 votes) to stop debate and move to a vote on any legislation in the Senate l, regardless of where the bill originates. Did you not watch the shutdown fight in October? Those funding bills came from the House and were filibustered in the Senate.

I remember seeing that episode as a kid.
The band starts playing and all they sing is the wee oooh background part because Ruby sings the lead. Then it leads into Mork singing This Heart Is Closed For Alterations.
