    I am seeing a lot of misdirected blame for the bloated government as DOGE fires thousands of government workers. The little people on the bottom rung of the ladder are not to blame for crying over losing their jobs. Sure some of them might be liberal Democrats, but the blame for the largesse...

    Trump Second Term Thread

    Biden was a horrible president - or whoever was running the White House I should say. But I will still argue that Jimmy Carter was the worst president in my lifetime, and maybe in history. Both of these men were president for only 1 term and both presided over some pretty bad crises of their...

    maybe $5,000 doge checks for americans?

    Higher prices is a symptom of inflation, but it is not necessarily inflation. When the price of oranges goes up because of a cold winter in orange producing states, that is not inflation, nor does it cause inflation. But when the government spends money then prints more to cover the debt, that...

    maybe $5,000 doge checks for americans?

    Yes, sending out $5000 checks to taxpayers would be inflationary in the short term although when it comes to prices, what goes up does not come down. I would rather they cut the deficit, pay down the debt a little to strengthen the dollar, and maybe fix the tax system or ditch it altogether.

    World War III ??? Maybe

    To be fair, the US defense expenditure is for all of US defense including domestic, and our military interests outside of Europe. NATO is primarily a European defense organization. If we account only for our European defense spending, it would be a lot closer to what the European nations are...

    The Disease of Leftism

    I noticed since we are having the coldest winter in years no one is saying much about global warming anymore. All those claims about each month being the warmest on record has stopped. Honestly, I prefer the warm weather even if it mean the quacks are out in force.

    maybe $5,000 doge checks for americans?

    Assuming only those who pay taxes get a refund, then $5000 per taxable return would amount to $550 billion. DOGE has to find a lot more waste, although I think they can do it.

    World War III ??? Maybe

    This is actually a very simple but informative video. It talks about a single detonation, but in a nuclear war, where 100 megaton bombs are used, it is more likely bombs will be falling all over the place. In that case get underground and cross your fingers but it is unlikely you will survive...

    It should all go to pay down the debt and lower the budget. Then with the lower budget, cut taxes. on everything.

    Actually, the FHA pulled its approval of the pricing plan. The governor of NY, who rushed it into place hoping to pre-empt any attempt by Trump to block it. It is unclear now what will happen. She says she will not remove the cameras of the pricing plan. People need to understand that...

    Washington DC is governed by the "at will" employment doctrine. This means either the employee or employer can terminate employment at any time for any reason or no reason. Of course, employees with contracts can have condition of termination written into their contracts but without a contract...

    If there was ever a detailed investigation of the Ukraine whistleblower impeachment I think we would find Adam Schiff and Alex Vindman were both deserving of years in prison.

    I remember when Ukraine was so corrupt Biden had to threaten the country to fire a prosecutor. His defense was "Ukraine is too corrupt!"

    Another plane crash, Delta airlines in Toronto

    There is a video online now showing the actual crash. I am not a pilot but it looks to me like the plane came down too hard and the landing gear broke off. Then the wings clipped the ground and the plane flipped over. It looks like pilot error to me.

    I doubt the problem Musk found is her fault. This stuff has to have started long ago. SS was enacted in 1935. The first payments went out in 1937. Someone born 200 years ago today would have been 111 in 1935, assuming applications for SS were taken in 1936. Seem unlikely those people were...

    I am not sure Ft. Knox is the largest depository of gold in the US anymore. I thought it was the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan. That Bruce Willis movie was no Hollywood myth. There actually is a massive gold vault underneath that building. I had the opportunity to visit it once...

    All it took was the stern warning not to come and the message you will be deported instead of the invitation from the Biden administration.

    Is it me or is this woman incapable of speaking coherently? I have seen a bunch of posts of her blabbing on about something and I can never understand what the hell she is trying to say. She must be a DEI hire.

    I am not sure when the government changed the process but I believe it is now law that when a death certificate is issued, the issuer must notify SS of the person's death and SS will automatically halt payments to the dead person - or claw any payments back that were made after death. This is...

    She had it already. She is a pretty big personality on X. I never thought of her as crazy, but this story is getting pretty crazy.
