    This relates to how long it takes you to get certain types of degrees such as dr, dentristry, pharmacy etc.

     

    Nurses can get a degree in four undergrad years, which doesn't require graduate level loans.

     

    They can get the same loans any other undergrad can get. Not sure how that impacts YOUR healthcare.

     

     

    Nurse Practitioners are often who patients end up seeing instead of doctors. They require advanced degrees. Why do we want it more difficult for anyone to get those types of degrees anyways? Everyone needs them and our country has a shortage of all those types of professionals.

  2. Well Donald got his medal, so we can check that off the list. The 2026 World Cup will be cohosted by USA, Canada and Mexico. 
     

    Fifa has also strengthened its ties with Trump’s inner circle. Earlier this year, the organisation appointed Trump’s daughter Ivanka to the board of a $100m education initiative funded in part by 2026 World Cupticket revenues.

  3. I see immigrants with a greater desire to strive and succeed and work compared to many native born Americans. Much of the health care staff in our area are from other countries. I always think… what excuse do Americans have for not doing as well. I also see immigrants with strong family support which helps them.

    George Will's piece shows that the old man can still write:

     

    "If Trump is telling the truth about Hegseth, and Hegseth is telling the truth to Trump, it is strange that (per the Post report) the commander of the boat-destroying operation said he ordered the attack on the survivors to comply with Hegseth’s order.

    Forty-four days after the survivors were killed, the four-star admiral who headed the U.S. Southern Command announced he would be leaving that position just a year into what is usually a three-year stint. He did not say why. Inferences are, however, permitted."

    No one advances their credentials working for Trump. Looks like this General is just another in a long list of people who wish they never met Trump.

    Why do criminals get liberties.  Search every home. You should be fine if you got nothing to hide. And if they are hiding something you gonna shed a tear over them not having rights?  You support criminals?  How dare you! 

    Excellent idea - and the police can remove all the illegal guns and lock up those criminals at the same time. Imagine the numbers of civilian and police lives that could save. Only someone who supports criminals and hates our men in blue would oppose that. 

  6. So if the logic is to execute people in boats who we think are carrying drugs because that will save lives, then the next logical step is to execute those caught at the border who are confirmed to be smuggling drugs into our country because that too will save lives. Then we should also execute the regional and neighborhood dealers confirmed to be selling drugs, because that will also save lives. And let’s make the executions public because then everyone will know what happens to them if they do sell drugs. Sounds like the pro Trump crowd here is all behind that… right?

  7. Also… Allen set the rushing touchdown record in 123 games; Newton established the previous record in 145 games. When you think of rushing QBs people always mention Lamar, but he only has 34 career rush TDs. Lamar has a couple thousand more rush yards, but I’d rather have the TDs. 
     

    Josh is such a unicorn. We will never see another player like him.

  8. There is no legal logic behind any of this. Most drugs cross the border in vehicles. This is just killing people because it feels good, much like our invasion of Iraq. If Trump was sincere about solving the drug addiction problem, he would be increasing funding to drug addiction treatment and rehab centers.

  9. Prior to Trump, the Coast Guard would board these boats suspected of drug running. If drugs were found, they would arrest the traffickers and confiscate their drugs. What was wrong with that system? That is how the justice system works in America. 
     

    Now, the protocol is kill everyone and just trust us that we know they were some kind of bad guys who deserved to die. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that some of these boats are not drug runners? So is the next step to execute drug sellers in America? This is nuts and probably illegal.

    All of these various influences (Calvinism, the Iroquois confederation, etc, etc) can be found in the thinking of the founding fathers. Everyone sees a little of what they want to see. Liberal bleeding hearts see respect for native American governance; religious righties see hardcore protestantism.

     

    But the one giant who towers above all others combined? Montesquieu.

    Agree on part 1. 
     

    Part 2, Montesquieu - Interesting, and someone I never knew of. This is the rare thread on PPP where I’m actually learning something.
