More like China. The new government has agreed to host Chinese troops and other military personal at bases to be established inside Brazil. We know the American left loves the CCP (and hates Russia which is illogical because they're working together against us) so they will ignore this not to be mentioned situation.

This is getting both boring and predictable. None of these flunkies in the US media or twitter know for sure what's going on in Brazil nor do they seem cognizant of the history of elections in the country. Without examining a shred of evidence or setting foot on the ground there they have nothing tangible that might support or not support their contention. But they're all damn certain that there were no election fraud issues and any violence or chaos has to do with Trump. That's how propaganda works and its quite a story they spin.

I understand all of that. But here's the dilemma. Resources, capital, labor, other inputs of the physical and financial world are finite. You can't help everyone, you can't fund everything, you can't do everything. There are benefits, cost, constraints, limits, choices, priorities, and trade offs. The government's ability to spend is constrained by the amount of tax revenue it collects and by how much credit it can issue. That's the nature of the budgeting, spending, and prioritization process. The other thing I might add is our government is already providing the funding and assistance for what creates these Central American authoritarian military police states that terrorize their own citizens. Which creates the environment where people find it imperative to flee these conditions. So now you're asking us to not only fund the creation of the problem but also the solution to the problem? Just stop sending guns and assistance to these governments. Problem solved.

Obviously you are morally superior to many of us here. But given that, nobody is stopping you from doing that on your own. If you feel so strongly, then why don't you and other like-minded individuals get yourselves into one of these countries, commit your savings and assets to the cause, and help make it happen? Instead of insisting the taxpayers pick up the tab for something they might now be up to doing because they see other priorities here at home.

There are work visa programs for admitting foreign workers that match specific skill deficiencies and needs in the economy. Flooding the country in an uncontrolled manner with low skill and mostly uneducated "workers" that may or may not match to "open" jobs which may require all forms of public assistance for the foreseeable future isn't the answer. And as far as American workers, so they don't want to work. If they are of sound mind and body, frankly I don't care what they want. I wouldn't want to work either if I could get all my expenses and bills paid by the taxpayer through public assistance programs. Send me 3 or 4 grand a month and I prove my point. We need to be honest here and start addressing the issues of motivation and incentive regarding work. You're position is neither sound nor logical. If every person on Earth that could improve their living standards or life migrated into the U.S. there would be more than 5 Billion people in the country. With the only means test being their claim to asylum. What your suggesting is we should be "compassionate" and welcome that situation.

We don't need workers. Based on around a 62% workforce participation rate we have plenty of citizens that choose not to enter the workforce because they can get "paid" more through various forms of Federal and State assistance to stay home. Its the classic labor/leisure principle. If you get $15 an hour to stay home all day or $16 to get up at 6 AM every day to work a 40 hour week which would you choose? Also, people at the border are generally presenting themselves, and being processed, as asylum seekers. People fleeing from political persecution or are in danger from one thing or another in their home country. People coming into the country for economic reasons do not qualify to be processed as a person seeking asylum.

But I think a lot of that late game success is due to the opponent's QB needing to take more risks because the Bills offense is putting points up and it comes down to playing against the 4th quarter clock, figuring the number of potential possessions left, and the need to score 2+ times in order to win the game.

Which begs the question how do the Bills opponents DB's glue themselves to our receivers consistently? Is it scheme or coaching or skill?

Word I hear out of the global power conquest game is Lula's presidency gives China the green light to complete their economic colonization and influence of South America. But who in the US is paying any attention?

Maybe this Kate is a good person but this has nothing to do with emotions. But the progressive-regressive mind defines every issue and event with emotion and feeling so it's only natural they project that view onto everyone else. I think there's a lot of curiosity about the motivation here after ignoring the place for a couple years that suddenly the President and his handlers have decided to take a trip to the border. It looks like to run the victim and blame the other guy play. I have full confidence the Republicans with complete knowledge its coming but will still be woefully unprepared to respond.

The walking dead commander in chief could have visited the border at any time and certainly much sooner but suddenly, and perhaps by coincidence, his handlers decided it was time to make an appearance immediately after the change in control of the House of Representatives. So over/under on two minutes into his remarks he blames "the other guy" for the situation? If anything, this group of political grifters is predictable.

I won't dispute stats but that number isn't a sign of prosperity and instead a sign lots of people are falling into poverty. And that's my general argument, our standard of living and quality of life is deteriorating. Most people not paying taxes don't earn enough money. That's hardly a positive. How much billionaires pay is governed by how the tax law defines "income" for the tax year. Blame lobbyists for the wealthy, Congress, and the Chief Executive for that one. That's just how crony capitalism works where the politically connected get rich by gaming the system at the expense of the general population. If the voters don't like that then stop voting for establishment Democrats and Republicans. And the biggest tax of all is inflation. You can thank decades of loose Fed monetary policy and massive government borrowing and low-value spending. Unfortunately, I see all these bills coming due and things taking a big turn for the worse in 2023 for most people that aren't prepared or not even aware of things because they're fed constant BS from the media playing up the establishment's fairy tale all is great theme.

Progressive idealists talk a good game but they're phonies that are afraid of the uncertainty and risk that true democracy carries with it. They're comfortable with authoritarian rule as long as they "feel" good about it. They think debate and disagreement is equivalent to terrorism. Their social justice agenda is a frivolity enabled by good times led by people with no real problems of their own and hands in somebody else's pocket picking up the tab. That's not to excuse the "Right" either. They also talk a good game but when it comes to the moment of truth, they fail to deliver time and again. Let's just say my expectations for the "new" House are pretty low. Most likely they'll deliver nothing. And when it comes to war spending there's no line or division between these left and right segments. They're all in on it. My problem is the government is simply sucking the life out of the country. It's too big and intrusive. And what have they done lately? Say, 30 years ago a couple could raise a family on an average salary with one person needing to work. Today, both have to work just to break even. Along with the Fed they've systematically destroyed the value of the dollar. Our money is trending toward worthless. That's progress? You could go to college or send your kids without having to mortgage your home or commit your retirement funds or take out huge loans that burden borrowers for years. We've got all kinds of technology and science but now a trip to the hospital can be followed by a trip to bankruptcy. Taxes are way too high sucking 40, maybe 60 percent of some people's earnings. Huge government spending has sucked the life out of the American middle and working classes. All this is what, progress? But hey, on your way to the poorhouse and living in the streets you can rest at ease that you'll be addressed with your preferred pronouns.

At least your theory accounts for why nobody has been arrested. I'm thinking the FBI or Secret Service should hire the women out to do laundry to perform security sweeps as apparently her ability to identify dangerous devices and objects is much greater than the agents assigned to that detail.

Julie? Was she a backup singer on the Eagles tour at one time or another?

This Joe Walsh guy I keep reading about here. Rocky Mountain Way. I think he should be discussing more important things like the next Eagles reunion tour. When do tickets go on sale?

Except in the case of J6. The DOJ assumed a take no prisoners, show no mercy approach to identifying and charging anyone and everyone they could. With Epps being an exception. An inexplicable exception in their quest to pursue and punish as many protesters as possible. One guy that should have obviously been arrested using the standards applied is spared. I still haven't heard or seen any logical or reasonable explanation why they let him go. Absent that the conclusion he was an agency asset is perfectly logical and clearly not disproven by anything that has transpired to this point. The government now or in future hearings can easily put the question to rest by simply saying he wasn't. But that may be lying.

You seem to be very adept at "making this up". Given what is already publicly known defending Epps is a losing battle and certainly no hill to die on. But that's your choice. His entire story to date fails to measure up against basic common sense as no explanation to date jives with observed reality. But then again, as we all know reality is what progressives, and their fantasies seek to avoid. Because Epps is far from "some random guy". We've all seen the video of his activity. If nothing else, he's a clear example of the inconsistency of how the law has been applied against the protesters of J6. Just what was his role, as a government asset or not? I suspect we'll find out more soon enough. I expect Mr. Epps, and others, will receive some request to appear before a House committee to explain his specific role and will quickly lawyer up, shut his mouth, and plead the 5th to any probing questions concerning his potential association with entities inside the US government. Over time we'll come to know this as the American version of Reichstag Fire. Count on it.

First Happy New Year. And with the New Year a new majority in the House. I wonder if the hearings held by J6 Committee 2.0 in 2023 will be on the national networks too? I'm leaning toward a "no" on this one.

Its speculation both ways if he was or wasn't on the federal payroll. Was he or wasn't he an asset? Why won't the DOJ/FBI answer a simple question? There are lots of examples where people were arrested and didn't enter the Capitol. As for Epps he did more than incite. He was also observed removing physical barriers and encouraging others to pass through the police lines. And if I recall, he was on the governments "most wanted" list for the event but suddenly was removed. Wouldn't the agency coming clean and telling the truth be better than continuing speculation? Instead of labeling skeptics conspiracy theorists demand the truth of the government.

Epps was on film encouraging others to enter the Capitol. Inciting others to trespass. So are you suggesting the video is fabricated or the DOJ has no interest in prosecuting this "crime"? Clearly he was not charged as others were with less evidence. So why is he off the hook here? The idea he wasn't arrested because he is a government asset appears to be one very plausible explanation. Maybe the government can clear things up by telling the truth and being forthcoming with the facts but let's not hold our breath waiting for that to happen

Everyone should understand its always been this way. But before the internet and social media the communications process was strictly hierarchical. Top down news media from ownership, editors, reporters, researchers, and so on down to the audience and consumer. It was easier to control narratives and transmit propaganda as required. But with the internet came peer to peer and peer to multiple peers communications, And not just one way but two way. Everybody found out everybody else was thinking the same thing they were, that the official narrative at time had lots of holes and gaps in the story. Dangerous discussions to power. So while it took a while the government message keepers figured it out. And here we are with lots of censors and blockers distributed in a manner consistent with the distributed information web with a central purpose in a de-centralized media environment. But too many points of contact leave lots of potential for exposure which is what is being revealed by the Twitter files.

What American politicians and media figures do you trust?

A politician faking his identity and qualifications, and then admitting he lied! Being honest about lying, that's a first. I thought the lefties sensing the potential to recover a lost seat were good with everybody being allowed to pretend to be whatever they think they are. If this guy identifies with being Jewish shouldn't this be treated with equity and be just as good as a dude that thinks he's a woman? I mean really, you need to embrace the concept. LMAO here.

I've explained what I mean as clearly as possible.
