re: (R) Introduces Bill for federal $15 min wage.

This will do nothing but incentivize paying beaners under the table. Good going Josh. Additionally, how is an earnest teenager supposed to lock down his first dishwashing or landscaping job if you have to pay them $15 per hour?

Ivies and a handful of other schools are tax-free hedge funds who conduct research and teach on the side. They also give preference - to foreigners often - who can pay full boat for tuition. For others, they can give "scholarships" in the form of discounted tuition and hook them up with the sweet, sweet fedgov't dollars.

quote:I don't know what cereal box you get your World History from, but Russia and Ukraine have been integrated as far back as the 9th century (Kyivan Rus’). Then the Mongols broke it up in the 13th century. Then the Cossack/Russian integration to thwart the Poles in the 1650's all the way up to the Russian Empire that ended with with the execution of Czar Nicholas II and family in 1917. Then it was all controlled by the Red Army/Commies until 1991.
Ukraine was never part of Russia eccept for Crimea which was indeed part of Russia similar to Klaipeda and Lithuania.

quote:Putin should just continue their Deep Battle Doctrine and take Ukraine in its entirety, on the commitment that the US doesn't meddle. Ukraine was Russian territory before Nikita Khrushchev foolishly separated it. That's why its called Khrushchev's Mistake.
I think you will see Putin's response in a few days.
That would stabilize that area of the globe. It would remove US influence and weaponized labs in Ukraine, pacify Russia w/r/t NATO encroachment, take the EU down a few pegs (they don't have the weaponry anyway without the US), and promote equality between the EU and Russia for trade purposes. The EU doesn't have any gas so they need to be trading partners w/ Russia. It isn't like the EU willl be firing up their nuclear facilities anytime soon (sans France).
A new and improved Monroe Doctrine where the US stays in it's neck of the woods.

It would be hilarious if it didn't have such negative implications, but a few decades ago IQ measurement was the apple of society's eye. It was repeatably predictive (causal) in measuring success and a number of other productive factors as well. It wasn't until people starting noticing that most everyone in the Southern Hemisphere is borderline retarded that IQ measures became illegal and scandalous to talk about.

However, if you want lower mortgage rates, then you should be crying about the money printing the Big Beautiful Bill will cause, which will affect the 10YY more than whatever the Fed does
The median 30-year mortgage rate since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in April 1971 is 7.33 percent. If you are holding out hope that rates will be sub-4% (maybe even sub-5%) I wouldn't bet on it. Those rates are a historic anomaly.

quote:From the outside it seemed like the pitching coach and injuries (to pitchers) were Lemonis' downfall. At a program without the success and resume and the impatience that goes with it, he may have turned things around. You can't have multiple lackluster seasons at a place like MSU (baseball) though.
With dominant players able to win dropped in his lap. Any SEC head coach could have won it with that team.
Zero difference in Lemonis winning it all and Orgeron at LSU.
When the championship team left the program collapsed. Hell.. him simply GTFO turned around this season and let us sneak into the post season playing good ball.
O'Connor is definitely an upgrade.

quote:I don't think the lawyering is the issue. It was possibly naive to not assume that Eisen & Co would attempt to lawfare nearly every legislative move the Admin makes. With a pliable federal judiciary, in hindsight that was a bad assumption but unforeseen. Now the Admin should know, so I'm hopeful every move they make has some contingencies, particularly w/r/t Executive Orders.
How was I wrong? Wanting the Constitution and laws followed is an inherently conservative position. The President needs better lawyers.
