Joe Ferguson forever

What he said 10 years ago is meaningless. Hell, he was a dem not much longer ago than that. his most recent promise on this was no new wars. At this point, I don't know if this was the correct move or not. It was (or should have been) a gut wrenching decision. We need to see the results and the retaliation before we brag about is power and lethality. Iran's regime is evil. A prolonged war is worse. We'll probably never know how close Iran actually was too a deliverable nuke.

the initial ruling found it unconstitutional. The appeals court did not. Long way to go before you can make the above statement. But the judiciary has been purposefully politicized by trump. It's what dictators do. "Earlier Thursday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the Guard deployment was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority. The order applied only to the National Guard troops and not Marines who were also deployed to the LA protests. The judge said he would not rule on the Marines because they were not out on the streets yet." from PBS. unfortunatley, there are several deranged rhino clones here....or at least like minded morons.

ummm, because it's against the governor's wishes. he's using the military to police US citizens. I know you're OK with that. Most Americans are not.

Yup. The federal deep state is deeper than ever. Supposedly, we had bureaucrats secretly running things. Now we have a dictator who has removed all guardrails and is doing it openly.

All true. But I don't envy him this decision. I think waiting is the right decision here. Can the Israelis win without us? The iron dome is in jeopardy of running out of missiles. So are the Iranians. A stalemate and negotiated peace may be the best option. Meanwhile in Ukraine...what a mess.

for the old orange man missing golf cuz of the world...I'm missing it too.

First day of summer

better than trump 1 As of April 2024, President Joe Biden has increased the national debt by $6.17 trillion throughout his presidency. The debt increased by $8.18 trillion during Donald Trump’s presidency, but experts say a large proportion of this was due to relief during the coronavirus pandemic. but now we're 8 years down the road, far removed from the pandemic and supposedly being bolstered by tariffs and a soon to be booming economy per sec treasury. R's are in control, cutting services while projected to add trillions more in deficits. not good.

Wait til they come for you. trump has a tendency to turn on his own people...

I keep telling you small minded mental midgets that all national topics must be seen through the global prism. If the dollar loses reserve status or we can't pay the interest on the debt, we're done as a global economic power, which after all, is the most important source of power. The big ugly bill pushes us further toward that end at a critical juncture. And the fiscally conservative "Republicans" cower with their hands in their pockets. Meanwhile, a large percentage of maga voters yell "communism" and socialism while feeding at the medicaid, food stamps, welfare, disability trough. It's all a shell game. Medicaid maga's are going to find out soon. But one thing is obvious: Freedom does not mean to maga's what it meant to the founding fathers. You want freedom for your tribe and not for anyone else.

why would the Dodgers lie? Why would the masked agents when asked by the press who they were would only say "DHS"? Why are you an apologist for fascism? https://www.yahoo.com/news/federal-agents-denied-entry-dodger-180703698.html In photos posted on social media Thursday, a procession of vehicles appeared to attempt to enter Dodger Stadium through the ballpark’s main Sunset Gate off Vin Scully Avenue around 8 a.m. However, they were prevented from passing through a security checkpoint leading to the parking lot. The caravan then relocated to the stadium’s Downtown Gate near the 110 Freeway. Dozens of vehicles gathered outside a closed parking lot fence, according to witnesses, before many began dispersing. Later in the morning, several dozen protesters gathered near what remained of the agents, who stood around three unmarked SUVs closer to the stadium’s entry gates but still outside the stadium parking lot. Five agents — several covering their faces with gaiters and armed with pistols — stood between the vehicles. They did not wear identifying items or badges. When asked by a Times reporter which agency they were with, they said “DHS” and declined to comment further.

Yup. We tried to stop people from dying or killing others... trump is the single most divisive figure in modern American history.

from the beginning, I told people it was most likely disseminated by aerosolized droplets and the most common methods other known viruses are known to spread via that pathway.

we got the big 3 over the air from Buffalo on a rooftop antenna. CBC from Toronto was the best reception of them all. We got whatever station did the Bozo show from Grand Island.😆

look at the pics the LA fox station posted on my links. they were there and they meant to intimidate and incarcerate. Who would want that job? Let me guess....you would.

Biden was criticized for running his campaign from the basement. trump had his normal glad handing, threat shouting rallies full of fools. More reds died than blues. Simple as that.

The fact that a 5 digit number of ignorant people on the left (possibly more than attended trump's war parade) acted stupidly does not lead to the conclusion that much of the left didn't abide public health advice. From personal experience, there were many more redneck maga's endangering others and refusing vaccination than liberals. The red state/blue state numbers back up my observations.

nothing to worry about. Masked unidentified agents just outside Dodgers stadium carrying automatic weapons. Just another day in trump's America. Good on the dodgers for denying access. Bad on ICE's lying mouthpieces. https://www.foxla.com/news/ice-dodger-stadium-immigration

Is the CBC not still available OTA in WNY? That alone gives a different perspective on many stories (and access to Hockey Night in Canada). But yes, I think many don't actually want to consider other perspectives. International travel and friends help to develop an appetite for them. Enquiring minds want to know.

30 years ago there were far more than 5 news outlets. Media is global. Was then too. That's why we can almost always piece together truth. It's important to watch the BBC when trade deals with the UK are being discussed. Better yet, The Guardian or Economist. Or the CBC when the 51st state is being discussed...Or the Jerusalem Post or Al Jezeera when the middle east is raging... Yes, algorithms play a huge part in what news people consume. But they needn't. There is still truth.

Small favors: this moron isn't in the decision making loop. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/trump-insider-reveals-nobody-is-talking-to-hegseth-as-iran-crisis-spirals/ar-AA1H1V7L or this one: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/tulsi-gabbard-sidelined-trump-administration-discussions-israel-iran-rcna212702 Just bad jokes to appeal to the base.

nah. they share dissatisfaction and restlessness. They don't need reminding. ideology is just a word most don't understand.

the worst part is that this varied group now constitutes the majority of Americans. We are in the land of misfit toys.
