Even if you enlist the establishment gov't? AKA: USACE? Get engineering involved?
Be careful what you wish for. I gotta $5,000 "smoking shelter", 1/2 million HVAC upgrade, $10,000 lead test (which I failed... Damn lead chip eating! ;-) ), and 6 million dollar paint job to sell you.
...Oh, wait there is a hiring freeze on. I will get back with you in 2030.
That is a great poem... Was just going to post it. Have you actually read it?
Yes sir, many times.

Yeah, got it. I've been on this forum enough to know your copy paste keys are as washed out as your brain.
And I have been here long enough to know that, when a poster is shown an article that proves his statement wrong,
he can act like a man.............or a five year old.

Sen. Kamala Harris sends heads to desks by declaring this gov’t spending a ‘human rights issue’
Here's the truth: infrastructure spending isn't a transportation issue for most Americans — it's a human rights issue.
Infrastructure spending is a human right? Do a lot of people on bad roads think their human rights are being violated?
Human rights involve what a government is forbidden to do *to* you.
The government cannot provide you with human rights.

PRESS: The election was hacked....(no evidence)
TRUMP: There was a lot of voter fraud.
PRESS: That’s ridiculous. Where’s your evidence? I demand an investigation!
TRUMP: Okay, we’ll do an investigation: President Donald Trump Vows to Launch ‘Major Investigation’ Into Alleged Voter Fraud.

Planned parenthood isn't an abortion mill.
It provides health care for women and resources to for people to responsibly plan their families. You indicated that this is a poor investment of your tax dollars.
Planned Parenthood is about abortions, not Women's Health, as they claim. There are THOUSANDS of other clinics available to women that actually do offer complete health care.
LiveAction investigation: Planned Parenthood pre-natal care “virtually non-existent”
Unless one counts eliminating the natal part as care, that is. In the debate over defunding Planned Parenthood at the federal and state level, its executives and its defenders claim that doing so would be an attack on core health care for women, including pre-natal care for mothers-to-be.
Live Action, which has long opposed federal funds for the nation’s largest abortion chain, decided to test that claim by calling 97 different PP clinics around the country. . . .Grand total that provide pre-natal care? Five:
{snip}
This is a long-awaited follow-up to a similar investigation about claims from Planned Parenthood about breast-cancer screening and diagnostics. In an earlier round of debate over barring federal funds from flowing to Planned Parenthood, Barack Obama argued that cutting off funds would endanger their ability to provide mammograms, but that claim turned out to be false.
PP’s executives also claim that “one in five women depend on Planned Parenthood for health care,” which FactCheck.org demonstrated was way, way off; it’s closer to one in 30, and they offer no unique services that women can’t find at other clinics — except abortions.

Ted Cruz Presents Bill That Would Allow States To Bar Refugee Resettlement
It should be up to a state governor to determine if they want to allow resettlement of refugees in their state.
At least, that’s the states’ rights issue that Texas Senator Ted Cruz and two of his colleagues put forth on Tuesday.

btw
is there a button to turn off retained formatting, ie. to allow me to paste text from an article without it looking like the title above and just look like normal text? usually its a button toggle but i dont see it
I've been known to occasionally "cut & paste" ...
If the title is too large, you can just highlight that and change the size (usually to 14 )

The Democrats' Rise Is Far From Inevitable
by Megan McCardle
Why are the left's public demonstrations more impressive than its voter turnout? Because there are a whole lot of Democrats in the large population centers where such demonstrations are generally held. People can join a protest simply by getting on the subway; it's an easy show of force.
But there are a lot of small towns in America, and as Sean Trende and David Byler recently demonstrated, those small towns are redder than ever. Effectively, the Democratic coalition has self-gerrymandered into a small number of places where they can turn out an impressive number of feet on the ground, but not enough votes to win the House. Certainly not enough to win the Senate or the Electoral College, which both favor sparsely populated states and discount the increasingly dense parts of the nation.
The Senate map in 2018 is brutal for Democrats. If Democrats want to get their mojo back, they’re going to need to do more than get a small minority of voters to turn out for a march. They’re going to need to get back some of those rural votes.
To do that, they’re probably going to have to let go of the most soul-satisfying, brain-melting political theory of the last two decades: that Democrats are inevitably the Party of the Future, guaranteed ownership of the future by an emerging Democratic majority in minority-white America.
This theory underlay a lot of Obama’s presidency, and Clinton’s campaign. With President Trump's inauguration on Friday, we saw the results.
Why was this such a bad theory? Let me count the ways:

And yet if Texas goes blue (margin was slimmer than California's), HRC wins.
And yet ?? We do not need hypotheticals
It doesn't change the fact that if you take away California's > 3 million HRC lead in votes
then you could state that the rest of the county "preferred" Trump.
Silly ?.............you bet.............but thats what the "she won the popular vote" people want

Of course Carson is qualified to lead HUD. He's black so he should know all about public housing
/SJW
Uh-uh /dev/null,
you forgot the FIRST RULE................Blacks who are conservative are NOT really Blacks

Ben Carson was approved unanimously by this Senate committee, including Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown.
http://www.banking.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/membership …
Next......the full senate vote.
I am cynical...............many dems wanted to point out early that Dr Carson was not qualified, now, when the have to vote against him (?)
certainly his race isn't an issue for them is it ?
31 Senate Democrats voted “no” on Pompeo for CIA Director.
So, let me get this straight, Senate Democrats.
Mike Pompeo isn’t qualified to be CIA Director, but Ben Carson IS qualified to be HUD Secretary?

Spent 18 years under Reid. That is a long time! Even had assistant HC title. Just seems odd he would leave to be QB coach of Buffalo. But I guess it's a bonus he helped development of Tyreek Hill. ...And he is from SPARTA!
I agree, another great hire by McDermott. .......Culley has been a right hand man of Reid for years.
