All_Pro_Bills

Over 4 1/2 years covering two administrations and still no release of the files and judges denying the current administration's request to unseal Grand Jury testimony because "there's nothing significant" in the testimony. Then release it.

This is what Liberals call a diverse and inclusive multi-cultural community. Something that should be celebrated. Sane and rational people will immediately see a problem with that delusion but the political Left won't and therein lies the problem.

So a demonstrable failure of de-fund the police policy and recognition there's a need for more uniformed patrol units on the streets.

Are you suggesting something needs to be done about crime?

It's like an old Henny Youngman joke. Guy goes to the doctor and gets bad news. The doc gives him six months to live. Patient says I've got bad news for you doc. I won't have the money in six month to pay your bill. Doc says okay. Then I'll give you an extra six months to live and make it 12!

This guy's definition is almost correct although his conclusion is wrong. Stagflation is inflation with no or negative economic growth. Unemployment is secondary and still low. And growth in Q2 is not negative nor are any GDP forecasts for the next several quarters predicting a negative print. So the contention we are currently in a stagflation environment is invalid.

Nor should we want to be like Haiti.

I'd be interested in how anyone could design a social policy to prevent homelessness. Because there are lots of causes, some chronic and some circumstantial. A person could be homeless because of a divorce, domestic abuse, death of a spouse, bankruptcy, loss of a job, chronic drug or alcohol addiction. Or they could simply have made the decision to "drop out" of society and deal with the consequences of the decision. I'm not a fan of the idea that pushing people out of the neighborhood solves the problem because they still have to go somewhere else. And I don't think a more "robust welfare net" is the answer. Its a do more of what's not working until it works type of solution. I'm not against the idea of helping people but from my experience of helping people it can go one of two ways. They're motivated to get back on their feet and use the support and financial assistance provided as a catalyst for them getting their life on track. Or, they become comfortable with the financial and other types of assistance and chose to spend their time doing nothing much to improve their situation. Because taking the assistance is easier than working. I think any assistance programs should be designed by social services experts, exclusive of any political motivation of any kind, to deal with both situations.

How much does it pay? I'm trying to decide between a gig as a paid MAGA poster or a paid progressive professional street protester.

Become familiar with M2 money supply growth if you want to know what's fueling inflation. I expect this report sets the stage for a Fed rate cut in September which will add more fuel to the fire. In that regard I agree with you that inflation is going to head higher. What they're counting on is real GDP growth will outpace that increase. Will it?

Obviously, the police union is part of Trump's fascist conspiracy to impose "authoritarian" control over Washington DC and soon to follow in 2025 other major cities. Then declare martial law and postpone the 2026 mid-term elections. And in the process, round up the political opposition and put them in FEMA camps in preparation for deportation to El Salvador. 😀

The war on drugs has been waged for decades. So far we've lost most of the battles. A family member worked for the DEA and bluntly said the war on drugs was a farce and pretty much everyone in the agency knew it. Now and finally, it sounds like they're willing to take the dog off the chain. I think the Mexican government secretly would welcome US action to exterminate the cartels. And restore some sembelence of order to the country. But since everyone is in on the take and afraid to rock the boat or get killed for supporting the idea they publicly renounce any US intervention.

Good questions. I hesitate to call 1/6 a hoax. Thete's no doubt some protesters got violent that day but I would call it a wild exaggeration, purely motivated by politics, to suggest the crowd went into the protest with intent to overthrow the government. If that was true then it would be the worst planned and executed insurrection the world has ever seen. As for Pelosi, it's never been investigated, no questions asked or answered by the J6 committee hearings what was going on in her office regarding authorization to deploy the guard. But it sounds like something we should know more about.

Even the guy that invented the PCR test warned of how the amplification factor could lead to false positives and the wrong conclusions about the virus.

What's the plan being proposed by the other side of the isle?

I'm not using polio as a gold standard but simply as an example of a vacine where there's a basic expectation that the shot will keep you from getting sick. In that case contracting polio. The covid shots were initially marketed to the public as just that and when vaccinated people started getting sick the message changed to protection from severe illness and hospitalization while still allowing the transmission of the virus to others. I've read the clinical trial set ups and read outs. The P3 for Pfizer for example mentions immunity. Nowhere do the primary and secondary end points mention the word "protection". By definition if it only provides protection from serious illness the trial should have been determined to be a failure. But public health officials were desperate for a solution. You mentioned flu strains. I mentioned CD388 as an example of efficacy. It might interest you. It's being trialed and touted as a universal flu "vaccine" which does not require tuning to specific strains to be effective. The P2 read backs that up. It might also be effective against covid or other respiratory conditions but to date no trials or data on those.

I think your being evasive. If I get a vaccine I have an expectation it will prevent me from getting the condition the vaccine is designed to immunize against. If i get a polio vaccine i win't get polio. So what percent of people getting the shot were provided immunity from the shot? I'm familiar with clinical trials. I read the results of a trial for a drug called cd388. In a 3 dose trial they reported the highest dose granted immunity from the flu at 75%. That the simple answer I'm looking for regarding covid. I think using real world evidence its close to zero.

Do we know in what percent of the vaccinated population the covid vaccine generated an immune response? I define immune response as infection free where the virus is inhibited from replicating. Unless you suggest a more suitable definition.

Bill Clinton more so. Word is he flew 29 plus or minus times on Eptein's Lolita Express to his private island. This could turn out to be one of those be careful what you wish for situations for libs looking for a lifeline to inhibit Trump's agenda.

Who could have guessed removing a secular dictator that, like others our idiot government has backed removing for 20+ years, would result in a takeover by bloodthirsty jihadist extremists systematically murdering non-believers? Which means pretty much anyone. The biggest goof of the thing is insistence these creeps are "moderates" to make us all feel better about it. Which anyone remotely paying attention knows is a blatant and obvious lie.

The media has already decided the plot here is one of revenge.

The unfortunate thing is none of us have any say in the matter.

The major issues are pretty clear here. 1. The questions of NATO and EU membership for Ukraine. 2. Territorial concessions including Crimea and Donbas. 3. Security guarantees insisted on by Russia. Both side have diametrically opposed positions on each of those. And to this point there is no compromise solution. So either somebody blinks which means Trump breaks ranks with Zelensky and European leadership or Putin backs down, neither of which I can foresee, or its no deal.

Or its like calling somebody a Nazi or a racist. Its a conscious effort and a clever debating tactic used to put the other person on the defensive by transforming a weak or nonexistent argument into something stronger by making a false comparison to an extreme situation. In this case a facility designed, built, and used to systematically exterminate people. To something that isn't anything of the sort. In this case a temporary holding facility to stage deportations. In reality and given logical examination they're light years apart.

Citing a handful of remorseful quotes. It just goes to show you can't please everyone. Job one. Secure the border. Complete. Everyone is happy. If the Dems would have taken controlling the nation's borders as an obvious responsibility of government Trump would have lost. But they didn't. A learning moment largely ignored.
