What we don't need is more and more people depending on social programs for support. Which is what we're getting. Proof positive being cities saying they don't have the resources to cope with more and more immigrants. And those are just the places we know of because where and in what numbers the administration is shipping people in the middle of the night under top secret circumstances is unknown. But don't ask.

Well, if I was a White House press correspondent employed by a free and independent media outlet assigned to cover these WH press briefings I'd take the hour or two I waste here and either go out for a long lunch break or take a nap because that's a better use of my time than sitting through these ball-washing sessions and then constantly asking questions which the WHPS can never answer. She has no intellectual capacity to do the job and has to be the most uninformed person in the country.

Since 70% of the US economy depends on consumer spending the effect over time will be large. Previous job automation cycles hurt factory workers as robotics were employed in repetitive manufacturing and assembly tasks. From what I've read many white collar, low and middle management tasks, will be taken over by AI applications. Which means the middle class will not escape this next wave of automaton of work functions. The problem this creates for workers is obvious but it also creates issues for providers of goods and services because robots and AI applications don't buy what they sell.

I think the government managed by both major parties will keep borrowing and spending as much money as they can until there's a debt crisis which results in a default either 1) outright bankruptcy or through 2) inflating the debt away. Currently, they're operating under option 2. Its all supported by an international system of finance centered on the use of the US dollar. With lots of countries moving away from holding dollar reserves and using it in trade settlement the ability to run these deficits will disappear. That's happening at a pretty fast pace. Here's a link to some interesting data on deficits and debt. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year

Thankfully their understanding of DEI concepts, terminology, and methods will provide a foundation for future success!

As an example, an NEAP Report card on US 8th graders grasp of history reveals only 13% have a satisfactory level of proficiency. That might help explain how easily those attempting to re-write past events have been so successful at duping the public. 13% is sadly pathetic.

I've followed the nuclear industry for over 20 years as a potential investment opportunity. And along the way I've heard glowing stories from lots of experts and promotors about how plants will be built and uranium demand will follow. Sadly, all of the activity has been on the decommissioning side and environmentalist have killed the domestic uranium mining industry. Leading suppliers Kazakhstan and Canada. While I agree using nuclear power for base load applications makes sense when are we as a nation getting started on the plan? It takes maybe 12 to 15 years from concept to operations to bring a reactor online. The clocks ticking and nothing much is happening. It's now or never or we'll be facing an electric generation shortfall disaster without natgas and coal.

My observation is conspiracy theories of many shapes and sizes arise when "the story" inexplicably is contradicted by some set of facts or there is an unwillingness of "officials" and "experts" to address questions and inconsistencies in the story that are both logical and reasonable. But in the case of the gas stove ban story it was never a conspiracy. It was true. The conspiracy was generated by people denying there was an initiative to ban gas stoves. Not the people that concluded a ban was being entertained. They were correct. I'd also suggest its correct to expect this will do absolutely nothing to positively impact the amount of carbon emission produced. The conspiracy I see in the Climate movement is a mistaken belief that renewables and some unknown magical materials are going to replace all the energy output and petrochemical sourced materials like plastics derived of fossil fuels. I think that's fantasy. Like it or not, accept it or not, believe it or not, the future path these politicians are leading us down is a lower standard of living for the peasants. Unless somebody has a warp drive engine in their basement?

Sadly, these wimps and weaklings have been trained and conditioned to fold under pressure at the first sign of trouble. In this case the big bad professor scheduled to speak in an academic setting where things they don't want to hear will hurt their sensitive feelings. All at once they can shout, "I want my mommy"!

The story of this high risk, low probability of success mission sounds totally implausible.

I think it can be looked at other ways too. Many see a small but vocal fringe sub-culture attempting to impose their cultural and social norms on the entire society that follows a different set of social rules. Truthfully, look at the norms and customs of trans culture and tell me a society based on those norms and customs is going to stand up to the Russians and Chinese. These are damaged and fragile people but their also free to pursue their own course. But as a standard for any culture its a losing proposition.

That's seems like a reasonable position but my understanding is literature being "banned" is based on it being accessible by children and not on the basis or belief its unsuitable for adults. Correct me if I'm wrong. I also don't see this as a "MAGA" specific issue. Parents of children across the political landscape don't want their children exposed to adult and sexually explicit materials. That seems reasonable too. Saying its MAGA sounds like an attempt to marginalize objections.

Everyone has their obsession. Why are self-identifying progressives obsessed with sexualizing somebody else's young children and then presenting adults that drive and support this obsession as victims while automatically demonizing people objecting whenever there's any push back?

What I marvel over is the effectiveness and depth of the network of graters and con artists surrounding the President that provide cover. If a system with a government accountable to its citizens and a free and independent press existed this ruse would not be allowed to continue. Sadly, shielding a weak and ineffective President from the reality fools neither our friends or enemies. And as most ignore the truth and play politics our country grows weaker and weaker both domestically and internationally.

The squirrels in my backyard are smarter than Kamala. For one, they know when a nut is close by. Hint: the nut is Joe.

Check the calendar. It's May 1st, not April 1st.

Given actual death count my common sense says I'll take my chances living in Cheyene Wyoming vs. the South Bronx.

If McDermott plans on utilizing a more traditional 4-3-4 base defense vs. the 4-2-5 nickel the team has employed, then the Williams pick might make sense. An athletic and fast sideline to sideline outside linebacker that could be an occasional and effective blitz option that could immediately start opposite Milano with a more physical MLB between the two. But there isn't a decent MLB option on the roster and the scheme and play calling approaches of the HC/DC for the 2023 season aren't publicly known. Otherwise, I voted Noah Sewell simply because he's a bigger and more physical option all things the same as last year. Williams projects as a special teams player and a backup OLB. With a limited number of picks getting a player that has a high potential to be a starter is a mandatory and unless there's some scheme change planned the pick looks like a swing and a miss to me.

My expectation is the powers inside the party have already decided Biden is out for 2024 and the announcement of a run for a second term is designed to project confidence and not much more. As his capacities have degraded ever further our President is comparable to a ventriloquist dummy. The important question is what person or group is dictating policy. Ironically, people shouting out claiming a concern for democracy aren't the least bit concerned some unelected person who wasn't on the 2020 ballot and received not one vote is playing the role of chief executive and running the WH from the shadows. If that doesn't scream "coup" then what does?

Two can play that game. Track the commies for round up and removal.

I think its because at every opportunity politicians and anti-gun lobbies that have a single minded obsession with disarming every law abiding citizen consistently attempt to amplify the real and imagined threat presented to the public by civilian gun ownership. All while at the same time militarizing law enforcement with all kinds high powered weapons and tactical gear to address threats like parents objecting to unsuitable classroom material being used to teach 5 year olds. Along with ignoring the enforcement of the law against actual criminal behavior while proposing gun control laws that won't deter actual criminals from acquiring and using illegal guns. So don't do anything about real crimes and disarm the public so they can't defend themselves because we won't let the police do the job And as an added bonus, arrest anyone that dares to defend themselves against threats. How maliciously insane are officials that drive that policy?

Tibs believes we're still living in a historical echo of the post Civil War era where black sharecroppers exist and there are no POC that have succeeded in America because racism against their ancestors and gangs of Klan members roam freely across the countryside. People's minds are magically imprinted before birth with a historical mental record of oppression which inhibits their thinking and behavior and prevents them from ever succeeding. So its appropriate to use the universal excuse of racism as a reason for every failure but also appropriate to ignore it in circumstances of success or achievement.

Thinking people need to ask what motive the adults in the room have that they're so obsessed to exploit and rush children into a life changing decision that requires more thought and inspection than they may be capable of at a young age.

Are you sure Joe Walsh is a "real" man?

That's hardly a consensus view but some persist on exploiting statements of one or two people and present it as such.
