personal tax cuts should come back. people spending creates less bubbles. Massive federal spending ends up at the top and the donors' pockets. Remove tax exempt from PACs and let the rich pay their fair share vs donating to PACS that then promote politicians and wedge topics that promote the system/spending that ends up right back in their pockets. the left talks of removing tax exempt from churches and doesn't want to cut cost. that would raise revenue. Many hear corporate, and they automatically go to the fortune 500. but 95% of corporations are small. like the coffee shop and mechanic on the corner. The global ones can avoid those cost by offshoring and moving HQ to places like Ireland and Panama. the mom and pop (majority), not so much. probably collect more revenue if the largest jump in our progressive tax quintiles was not right at the median household income level. Why does federal receipts jump from 12% to 22% right at median household income level? and was it always like this? https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets Tax rate on taxable income from minimum income up to the top. 10% $0$11,000 12% $11,001$44,725 22% $44,726$95,375 24% $95,376$182,100 32% $182,101$231,250 35% $231,251$578,125 37% $578,126And up The median household income is $74,580. The rich pay the majority of federal receipts. the middle gets squeezed. The poor, homeless, fixed income are just trying to survive with the dollar being worth less every day. Removing the cap on the debt back in 2023 was a horrible Idea.

The NYT reporter was probably an asset as many that work there are. and maybe even part of Pelosi's production team. or its just another example of the FBI partisan biases.

My bad. I thought you taught city kids. interesting to read how that's moved onto the privileged class as well.

your comment disproves your last sentence. The Eighth Amendment generally applies in criminal proceedings, as the most common locus of government punishment, but the Supreme Court has held the Eighth Amendment ’s prohibition on excessive fines can apply in civil forfeiture proceedings, noting that the text of the amendment is not limited to “criminal” cases. 6 https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-8/overview-of-eighth-amendment-cruel-and-unusual-punishment#:~:text=The Eighth Amendment generally applies in criminal proceedings%2C,amendment is not limited to “criminal” cases. 6 United States v.

never knew that the Dossier sub source was suspected of spying for Russia. Dont remember that in the cycle. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/24/steele-dossier-russia-doj-421536 The declassified footnote states that Steele’s primary sub-source “was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence investigation from 2009 to 2011 that assessed his/her documented contacts with suspected Russian intelligence officers.” It does not, however, say what the FBI ultimately concluded about the sub-source, who has been publicly identified in the New York Times and other outlets. Though Horowitz’s report found significant errors in the FBI’s applications for those warrants, which were granted and renewed four times, he made no judgment on whether the FBI’s initial request to surveil Page would have survived otherwise. But the Justice Department has since rescinded two of the renewals based on his review. So far, Durham’s investigation has led to one criminal indictment. An FBI attorney involved in the Page surveillance application, Kevin Clinesmith, pleaded guilty last month to doctoring an email used in the bureau’s representations to the court reviewing the request. Igor Yurievich (the lying Russian sub asset) Danchenko (born May 5, 1978) is a Russian citizen and U.S. resident currently residing in Virginia who works as a Eurasia political risk, defense and economics analyst. Together with Clifford Gaddy he analyzed Vladimir Putin's 1996 university dissertation and presented examples of plagiarism.[2] In July 2020, Danchenko was revealed to have worked for Christopher Steele's Orbis Business Intelligence as a source for the Steele dossier. In November 2021, he was indicted on charges of lying to the FBI about the identities of his sources[3] but "not about the information [in the dossier] itself".[4] He was acquitted of all charges in October 2022

Probably big fan of scrubs or ER back in the day.

Absolutely not. outside of sports, I don't watch TV anyways.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/weaponized-migration-a-coordinated-plot-playing-out-deep-in-the-panama-jungle-5597754?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge&src_src=partner&src_cmp=ZeroHedge The ripe smell of garbage baking in the tropical sun mixed with the stench of human waste is one of the first things visitors notice at Bajo Chiquito, one of four large migrant camps in the Darién Gap. The next is a sea of weary migrants, who hiked from Colombia along the infamous jungle trail, lined up to be processed by Panamanian officials. One young boy in line with a furrowed brow seems worried. Others stare blankly at ramshackle buildings slapped together with wood, tin, and cinder blocks. They wait patiently in the brutal heat and humidity. Most of them are coming to the United States aided by the United Nations, its nongovernmental partners, and regimes hostile to the United States. Experts have said the migrants are being used as a weapon, just as deadly as a missile aimed straight at the United States. Mass migration is being “weaponized” to overwhelm and destabilize the United States and ultimately break it apart, according to Joseph Humire, who studies unconventional warfare and is the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society. “That’s why I think the term ‘invasion’ is appropriate,” Mr. Humire told The Epoch Times Migrant Pawns Last year, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the Darién Gap, documents show. In February, The Epoch Times visited all four migrant camps in Panama: Lajas Blancas, Bajo Chiquito, San Vicente, and Canaán Membrillo. The United Nations and related nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), which receive millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, have made mass migration easier by facilitating and augmenting migrant movement with food, shelter, and water. Reporters spoke with migrants from China, Somalia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia and others who hiked out of the treacherous jungle leading from Colombia into Panama. Many at the camps suffered from injuries and illnesses such as trench foot and broken limbs. Several complained that the water was untreated at the camps run by the NGOs and that they lacked essential items such as diapers. One migrant told The Epoch Times that food supplied at the camps was stale or spoiled, so he spent $7 to buy a meal from a local vendor. Others said they were stranded at the camps because they were robbed during their journey or couldn’t pay the $60 needed for the bus ride north. The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States has surged under the Biden administration as policies from the Trump era have been reversed or eliminated. Illegal immigrant encounters at U.S. borders in fiscal 2022 totaled more than 2.7 million nationwide, according to CBP data. By 2023, that number topped 3.2 million. The numbers also correspond with President Joe Biden’s renewed pledge to support the U.N.’s Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration—a 2018 plan to manage global migration that was approved by 152 nations. “The Biden–Harris Administration is committed to safe, orderly, and humane migration around the world, including to the United States,” a government statement in December 2021 read. The United States had voted against the compact under President Donald Trump. Most migrants are oblivious to their role as human ammunition, according to Trevor Loudon, an expert on communist regimes and host of EpochTV’s “Counterpunch.” The U.N. and NGO workers at the City of Knowledge in Panama—which was once part of the U.S. military base given to Panama—have exposed migrants to violence, injury, death, and disease, he said. “These bureaucrats with fat salaries, eating at nice local restaurants, are having a great old time facilitating one of the biggest crimes against humanity that’s ever been perpetrated,” Mr. Loudon said. Panama’s former border director Oriel Ortega told The Epoch Times the NGOs should be educating and helping migrants in their own countries instead of facilitating migration. The Epoch Times knocked on multiple U.N. agency doors at the City of Knowledge complex while in Panama in an unsuccessful attempt to interview officials with the U.N. and HIAS, founded as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. At one U.N. office, reporters could see workers through blinds scrambling to hide after The Epoch Times knocked and rang the doorbell repeatedly. Migrants said the trek through dense rainforest, steep mountains, thick mud, and swamps was exhausting and dangerous. They told stories of murder, rape, and desperation. Estimates of deaths reported by NGOs are probably low. The American Red Cross reported that 60 people died crossing the Darién Gap during the first half of 2023, but anecdotal information from people who have been in the jungle put that number in the hundreds or thousands each year. Michael Yon, a war correspondent who has been reporting on the flood of migrants moving through the jungle into Panama, told The Epoch Times he estimates that about 1 percent of those making the journey die. At the Bajo Chiquito camp on Feb. 18, one Venezuelan migrant sitting under the shade of a tin roof shelter counted himself as lucky. He was only robbed during the journey through the Darién Gap that he described as “hell” through an interpreter. He witnessed a man who was stoned and then shot in the head for trying to protect his wife from being gang raped, he said. “He went to go defend the girl,” he said. Close by, a Venezuelan woman, Fabiola Suarez, appeared despondent. She had hiked through the Darién Gap to reunite with her husband in Colorado. She, too, counted herself as lucky. She was almost raped by criminals preying on migrants, but there were enough people in her group to stave off an attack, she said. “There was a lot in the group, so they didn’t,” she said through an interpreter. Dripping with sweat, Gustavo Toala emerged from the Darién jungle trail on Feb. 17 with only the clothes on his back—and a cellphone in his hand. Everyone had cellphones, a lifeline for many at the camps. He and two companions from Ecuador trudged over a rudimentary bridge into Lajas Blancas camp, looking exhausted after a five-hour walk from camp Bajo Chiquito. Mr. Toala said through an interpreter that he and his two companions started as a group of 12, but they got separated during the journey. He had been traveling for almost two weeks, hoping for a better life in the United States. He left because of the high crime rate in Ecuador and the inability of small business owners to make a living due to extortion, he said. With no map and little water, he blindly followed other migrants through the Darién Gap, where robbery, rape, and death await many. He hoped to catch a bus to Costa Rica next. At Lajas Blancas, migrants have access to a number of large maps provided by NGOs that display detailed migration routes heading to the United States. One map is from HIAS, which recently received $11 million from the U.S. in two grants awarded specifically to go to Latin American migrants. One HIAS map shows the migration route from Colombia to Costa Rica, including detailed bus stops, temperatures, altitudes, and “migration kiosk” locations.

When one is a product of their environment, they don't see the future, they see it one day at a time. it's called the hustle/servival. people from Sheltered upbringings don't understand because they have never lived or experienced it.

Lower taxes and regs and let the organic economy grow. Put the money back in the pockets of people vs massive spending that ends up at the very top quintile would be a start. 130 debt to gdp ratio is unattainable. They have not had a debt limit since 2023 and are printing every month. Devaluing the dollar with each page . Not enough money to tax, to make up for the difference and debt that's growing interest.

Public education is turning into social education/indoctrination centers and are failing on their mandate to educate the children.. Other counties are eating our kids lunch when they try to enter the market with defective skills. Anyone that can afford it. Sends their kids to private. People spend half their pay to live in areas that have decent districts. The rest fight for charters and consider homeschooling.

Lol. She was only pulling Dem voters in open primaries anyways

True. And the left loves toast. I mean state.

Little history lesson. That debt was paid off. As we have taken on debt for many reasons, usually wars since our founding. And paid off each time. Those debts have never been close to 130 percent of gdp. You guys keep pushing spending that over receipts is just pushing us towards a place we can't come back from. But maybe that's your goal

If a rambling homeless person on the street looks at you and says "your a moron". Does it mean anything? Not really as it lacks the knowledge (self awareness) that everyone has watched it ramble about crazy and call everyone not rambling crazy, insults.

This seems sustainable. Dems represent special interest, globalist and the will of the fortune 7.

Lmao. The king is referencing one statement in 2016 by a discussed liar while ignoring all the biased actions the 8 years since. The fact you don't even see it only shows your sad biases. Sorry . bills time agreeing with that, is kind of proof it's a bunch of BS and way outside the realm of reality.

The big lie is a multi topic series of actions to cover up the initial crime that was crossfire hurricane.

If you had self awareness you would Seems that person was trying to help you out with that issue.

Based off the actions of the last few years they seem to be an asset of the Dems and the entities they represent. Every day provides more proof Do you still believe the discredited narrative that Russia had an actual impact on the 2016 election?

So how will the banks make the money back? Like an APR increase instead of a monetary penalty. Strongest force in nature is compounding interest.

That lady needs some serious mental health help. Like time in a BSU unit, health care.

Just outright lying to demonize the "other" opinion. So desperate

Ie. Five eyes intelligence got bad data from their Russian intelligence assets. But the FBI and our intelligence ran with it anyways. And old man McCain handing it off to politico.
