Just think of all of the stuff we wouldn’t know if Rand weren’t in the Senate.

Glad he’s there.
If the US government got out of subsidizing agriculture, deregulated energy and employment law, we’d be completely self sufficient with our resources. That whole manifest destiny thing and all.
Isn’t this what they were supposed to be doing the whole time?

What is really awesome about this is the unintended consequences of such a proposal--what is the unintended consequence you ask? Well non-profits do not pay property taxes in New York City so they are taking those buildings off of the tax assessors' role and that money will need to be made up by increased property taxes on the others who pay taxes.


Kicking communism into overdrive. :rotflmao:

The disgusting thing, this is the model the dems wanted kept in place and one of the issues for the govt shutdown. If you dont allow us to steal we will just shut down the govt you are paying for.


Thanks for spelling it out a little further. :cheers:

I try to stay on top of the macro elements, but specifics of these programs elude me due to the time needed to research and to fully understand them, which I’m sure is by design. Coming full circle, it certainly paints a better macro picture when the micro details are understood. But unless someone is in the healthcare industry (specifically working with these programs), who has the time to research?

The federal government is so much bigger than originally intended.

Last night I was reading about Washington as the chief executive selecting a mint location and contractor as prescribed by Congress. For a split second, I thought, “Man, he was spending his time on that???” But then I thought about it more and thought, yes, the federal government shouldn’t have had too many demands that a POTUS wouldn’t have time to make that level of a decision.

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible to enroll in federal Medicaid programs, but California and other blue states — Illinois, Colorado, New York, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, as well as Washington, D.C. — allow some people to receive state-funded benefits through their Medicaid implementation programs regardless of immigration status.

Chhabria’s order is narrowly tailored to six categories of “basic” personal information: citizenship, immigration status, address, phone number, date of birth and Medicaid ID.


Interesting. I hope these aren’t federal dollars being used.
Got chills watching that. Thanks. :usa:
Is there a decent summary online that I can read to get caught up? I started the 42 min video, but if I can read a summary, that’d be ideal.

I hope Strange gets to meet him first. Would be cool to watch.
X link is dead now. Is this the same trailer or is this a fake ?



ETA: Apparently a fake but not far off from the leak.
Held on the American embassy grounds. I can dig it.

Surprised if CIA isn’t doing this already.

And they wonder why people are leaving the church in droves. Christianity is dying in Europe. Their ancient churches and cathedrals virtually nothing more than museums.


This really is the case, sadly. Such historic cathedrals, some around 1,000 years old, are only tourist attractions.
Inflation rate might be down, but incomes still haven’t caught up.

We’re heading in a better direction than we were, but there’s still room for a lot of improvement.

If they don’t stop government spending, the inflation will continue one way or another, and the money usually ends up in the pockets of corporations with the middle class and below feeling the pain more than the others.

We’ve had easy monetary policy for way too long and we’re feeling the effects. We need a Volcker-esque intervention, but no one will commit that political suicide.
How does one federal judge have the power to override legislation signed into law by a governor?

Take it to SCOTUS and stop this legislating from the bench.

Does this cheapen Steve's happy ending in Endgame?


If it fixes the post Endgame MCU, I’ll allow it.

When the story pans out, it may turn out that this was going to happen the entire time.
I’m of the mind that we should have Israel’s back if they need it, but I don’t want them dragging us into fights that they’re starting.

The black highlighter strikes again. :lol:

Blanche attributed the delay to the need to redact any names or identifying information about witnesses, but failing to turn over the full unclassified files could run afoul of the law, which gave the department 30 days to share the files with Congress.


Polish women are beautiful.

Highly recommend a visit.
