PedoGate? TreasonGate?

So you have no problem with not policing retail stores and arresting the animals who shoplift? Gee! Here in Florida (a state with a budget SURPLUS and no state income tax) there are no stories about shoplifters always getting away with it, (even in shithole areas like Orlando or Miami). Here the police and deputies respond to calls and generally haul the animals away. If you're suggesting that the animals in Chicago and Reno are much worse and a larger group, I supposed you could make the case. As far as a homeless problem goes, the ONLY reason a police officer should be called to homeless camp would be if a crime was committed, either against a homeless person or BY a homeless person. And if the homeless camp becomes a public nuisance and a public danger, then that camp should be removed and the bums rousted away.

And you have already been born, so why should you give a shit about babies. What if you were in the womb and were dismembered by a curette and sucked into a sink? The face of modern liberalism. And this is liberalism of the 1940s Same ideology, same tactics. Seig Heil.

Individuals like me (guys and girls) make up the vast majority of America. And it's obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about. Rush not only ended the Nazi left's monopoly on public opinion, he SAVED AM radio from almost extinction. He didn't get amazingly RICH by failing in all those major markets where the EIB network dominated. He was so powerful a force that Algore suggested a left wing radio talk show network to compete with him. It was called Air America. (Hell of a thing, when the goose stepping left can be conned into spending a ton of money on AM RADIO talk shows.) Air America BOMBED, because it was sophomoric, overly emotional and sounded like a KKK hate rally. Most of America didn't like it. A LOT of radio talk stars (some who wound up moving to television) owe their careers to Rush, THE DOCTOR OF DEMOCRACY. Guys like Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Neal Boortz etc, got their first taste of fame and fortune on the AM radio stations their shows premiered. Of course, that centered around the 90s, back when most of the this place's goose stepping liberals' parents were still in diapers. Today's goose stepper barely can grasp the realities of a year ago, much less the 90s and the turn of the century.

No he hasn't. He has created the WORST economy of all time. AGAIN, you mor0n, unemployment numbers come ONLY from those who file unemployment and they don't count those who have given up finding a job. Obama had the same illusion. The only president who brought REAL JOBS was Trump, with the tax cuts that brought HIGH PAYING MANUFACTURING BACK FROM THE FAR EAST. It took the OBAMA VIRUS to slow that down. Unelected Joe has presided over the WORST ECONOMY OF ALL TIME. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/bidenomics-economics-inflation/2023/06/28/id/1125306/ While President Joe Biden and the media detail the sales-pitch element of "Bidenomics," former President Donald Trump is mocking it as a strategy at the root of the "worst economic decline since the Great Depression." "'Bidenomics' is the opposite of President Trump's historic economy," the Trump campaign said in a detailed statement deriding Biden's plan on Wednesday. "President Trump's success is low taxes, low regulations, low inflation, maximizing American energy production for affordable energy, fair trade, and no job-killing globalist agreements. "'Bidenomics' is high taxes, crippling regulations, crushing inflation, war on American energy, soaring energy costs, job-killing globalist intentional agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, and total economic surrender to China and other foreign countries. America first economics vs. America last." "Every plank of President Trump's economy makes it easier, more attractive for American jobs, American workers, and American families in the U.S.," the statement continued. "Every plank of 'Bidenomics' hurts jobs and workers in America and rewards outsourcers and foreign producers." "Biden and the radical Democrat Congress singlehandedly created the highest inflation in decades," the statement said. "They spent trillions of dollars and pursued the socialist joke known as the Green New Deal. "Now the inflation and high interest rates that Biden caused have resulted in the Biden banking crisis — a disaster of historic proportions." Biden made his pitch Wednesday to a skeptical public that the U.S. economy is thriving under what he now touts as “Bidenomics” — even as a new poll showed that could be a hard sell as the foundation for his 2024 reelection campaign. In a major economic speech in Chicago, Biden said his administration’s efforts were sparking recovery after Republican policies had crushed America’s middle class. But the poll said only 1 in 3 U.S. adults approves of his economic leadership. That 34% figure is even lower than his overall approval rating of 41%, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Biden’s approval figures have barely moved for the past year and a half, a source of concern for a president pursuing a second term on his ability to govern and focus on workers. He wants voters to connect local roads and bridge projects, factory construction and the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy to the millions of dollars in initiatives he signed into law during the first two years of his administration.

Actually, Rush appealed to the widest swath of Americans, from the very rich and very well educated to the poor and less educated. Whoever had a radio enjoyed what he had to say. And the markets that carried his show were able to charge confiscatory advertising rates. The only OAF is the goose stepping narrow minded NAZI who never made it out of the third grade. (That pretty much describes every liberal in America.)

I am sure throwing THAT dig into the equation somehow makes this a thread and topic worthy of discussion, amirite? This is a political message board, where people come here with OPINIONS. As far as being worthy of discussion, we'll see. It's not a dig. It's a FACT, and everybody knows Obama was elected ONLY because of his color. He was one of the most incompetent presidents of all time and is known as the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PRESIDENT. If he had been white or Asian, with his inexperience and extremist left wing views, he NEVER would have been elected president. The way I remember debates, you agree with a ruling and state why and debate with people who may not agree with your views. But throwing strawman arguments out there, laced with racist rhetoric, definitely won't result in a debate or discussion. The only cure for this is have threads like this one ignored, as they offer nothing but hyperbole. There's NOTHING racist about what I just said. But YOU'RE a racist for bringing it up. Just admit it. You're too STUPID to discuss the actual subject of the thread. All you have is pissant whines and moans about my posted style. TAKE A MIDOL, snowflake.

How is Harvard depriving anyone the equal protection of laws? What law did Harvard violate? You REALLY ARE STUPID. Giving preference of one race over others WHICH IS WHAT HARVARD AND ALL THOSE SECOND RATE DIPLOMA MILLS DID violates the Equal Protection clause. Whether it is black over white, white over black, it violates equal protection, SAME AS JIM CROW, which your goose stepping side of aisle wrote into law. As far as what law Harvard violated, here's the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/regulatory/statutes/title-vi-civil-rights-act-of-1964 §2000d Prohibition against exclusion from participation in, denial of benefits of, and discrimination under federally assisted programs on ground of race, color or national origin No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. §2000d-4a. "Program or activity" and "program" defined For the purposes of this subchapter, the term "program or activity" and the term "program" mean all of the operations of -- (1)(A) a department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of a State or of a local government; or (B) the entity of such State or local government that distributes such assistance and each such department or agency (and each other State or local government entity) to which the assistance is extended, in the case of assistance to a State or local government; (2)(A) a college, university, or other postsecondary institution, or a public system of higher education; or (B) a local educational agency (as defined in section 198(a)(10) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965), system of vocational education, or other school system; If Muslims want to attend a Christian university such as Liberty, they have to be accepted equally, correct? Nope. They must be accepted SOLELY on merit, competing with everyone else's test scores and SAT scores. Religion is included in the 14th Amendment. There are only TWO universities in America that get ZERO government funding. Hillsdale University and Groves City college. If they wanted to. (and Hillsdale was the FIRST American university to graduate a black female, since Reconstruction), they would be immune to that law. No other college in America has that immunity. So a Christian college or a JEWISH college or a MUSLIM college would have to obey the same CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. The Supreme Court today just overturned DECADES of Democrat JIM CROW LAWS.

Nope. Biden's policies have created the WORST job crisis in history. And those who have lost their jobs have to contend with the WORST inflation and HIGHEST gasoline prices in history. Oh, and the CHINA VIRUS came from a lab financed by OBAMA. I'll admit, Unelected Joe DID create a lot of jobs.Problem is, (a) they were in the FAR EAST and (b) they are SLAVE LABOR. You are still trying to spin LIES from a biased and unreliable source. What's next? THE VIEW?

Not all of Florida is a paradise. There are some shitholes. School wise, BRoward County is the joke of the state. Central Florida's main problems was the city father's inability to take Walt Disney's warning seriously. He said "you had better start building roads right now because you're going to see an amount of development beyond your imagination." Central Florida's problems (and this is from Kissimmee to Altamonte Springs) centers on ass backward zoning (high rise apartments lined up on two lane roads) millions of people moving there every day thinking there's tons of high paying jobs, and a decision in Lake County to zone all those acres of destroyed orange groves into single family housing units, in the process putting THOUSANDS more cars on the road. There is nothing to blame Governor DeSantis for. Pretty much everything he has done has benefited Florida's economy and made this place a safer place to live. He has kept the cost of living down (as much as he could), and he has sent a message to the Nazis in Washington that Florida will not be a dumping ground for illegal aliens. Everything Unelected Joe has done has destroyed the expanding economy he inherited from Trump. Gas prices are through the and inflation has made EVERYTHING cost twice as much. That's ALL on Unelected Joe.

Elections are rigged Not all elections. But there's NO WAY Pedophile Joe got 81 million votes Drag Queens are groomers Not all of them. There are a lot of Drag Queens who either confine their disease to their place of living or just dance in adults only nightclubs. The ones who want to do this in front of children are pedophiles. Teachers are teaching CRT Not in all states. Just the inferior, uneducated blues states. Critical RACIST Theory is definitely not taught in Florida classrooms. Scientists are promoting unhealthy vaccines Actually, they aren't scientists. They are doctors. And there have been some disastrous reactions from those drugs and there has been NO accountability. Big black men scare the be bejesus out of Righties This big black man was LYNCHED by Joe Biden and the other left wingers. ANY, and I do mean ANY, disrespectful comment made about Trump sets off a firestorm of insults and accusations of TDS. That of course is a stupid LIE. There have been critical statements about Trump coming from the EDUCATED (read, mainstreams conservative MAJORITY of America.) Ben Shapiro was one. So was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Nobody has accused either of them of Trump Derangement Syndrome. You know better. THIS is Trump Derangement Syndrome. THESE are the numbnuts who should take a pill.

And wouldn't you know it? An appointee from an unqualified president who was elected SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR had a problem with that. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-justices-thomas-sotomayor-read-affirmative-action-opinions-bench-rare-move Supreme Court Justices Thomas, Sotomayor read affirmative action opinions from the bench in rare move Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor read their conflicting opinions on affirmative action from the bench on Thursday. Justices on the court can choose to read their opinions aloud from the bench in rare instances when they want to call special attention to their position. Thomas did so for his concurring opinion with court's Thursday ruling against affirmative action, while Sotomayor read her own dissenting opinion. "Today, and despite a lengthy interregnum, the Constitution prevails," Thomas declared in his opinion. The 75-year-old justice lauded Thursday's majority opinion overturning decades of the U.S. judicial system allowing colleges and universities to admit or reject applicants based on their race, but also offered his own individual input. "I write separately to offer an originalist defense of the colorblind Constitution; to explain further the flaws of the Court's Grutter jurisprudence; to clarify that all forms of discrimination based on race--including so-called affirmative action--are prohibited under the Constitution; and to emphasize the pernicious effects of all such discrimination." This was the right thing to do. The disgrace is that it took so long. And it took justices from Bush and Trump to FINALLY get justice. Of course, the Obama appointee wanted to continue the racist policy. "The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment enshrines a guarantee of racial equality," Sotomayor began. "The Court long ago concluded that this guarantee can be enforced through race-conscious means in a society that is not, and has never been, colorblind." For those of you with an education, HERE'S the 14th Amendment. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/ Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state. Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. I know you liberals have never read the 14th Amendment. You probably think it just repeat BLACK LIVES MATTER a hundred times. NOTHING in Section One mentions ANY RACE WHATSOEVER. In fact, Section One reads more like the FIFTH Amendment. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-5/ Fifth Amendment No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Thank GOD the Republican Senate under Obama disqualified that ambulance chasing Nazi mouthpiece Merrick Garland. He was about as qualified to sit on that panel as Peewee Herman.

A link from the Unelected Joe Executive branch. Are you REALLY THIS FCKING STUPID?

The standard method LEFT WING FAKE NEWS link you spewed here? Get a life, lib. Unelected Pedophile Joe is the worst president in history. HIs poll numbers are in the shitter and they wouldn't be if HALF the lying bullshit you said about him was true.

Rush Limbaugh demonstrated how a college dropout, who was fired from every radio job he had ever held (he admitted this freely) somehow created a national image talk show (where all the critics said national issues would never work in a local talk show market) and made it about Conservatism (where EVERYONE was telling him he would fail at that.) Rush wound up almost single handedly ERASING the left wing monopoly on public opinion. He inspired the creation of Fox News, which upended the traditional left wing news media hold on the industry.

5. There are Commies, Nazis, saints, and serial killers smarter than either of us. Don't equate political opinion with intelligence, or either of those with virtue. Some people thought Ted Bundy was an up and coming intellect, his breezing through law school and his mentors grooming him for a career in politics. Is it possible to have a high IQ and be mentally ill at the same time? Speaking about The Florida Project, (it allegedly takes place in Kissimmee), I lived in that area (central Florida) for 18 years. I hated every second I was there. I watch a medium high traffic, high density area shithole turn into a VERY HIGH traffic, impossible density shithole. I return to that area only out of necessity, (a few business contacts still there.) As far as a single mother living in one of those weekly hotels, I saw them cropping up all over Central Florida, including Orlando and some points north on I-4. It's doubtful that the family was living at the Magic Castle Inn And Suites, because it is located on 192, which stretches all the way from St. Cloud right to Disney's main gate. During in season in Central Florida it's almost impossible to get a room, even as there are almost a million hotel rooms (cheap and nice) there. I've seen this especially when there is a construction convention in town. There actually is such a place as Magic Castle Inn And Suites http://www.magiccastleinnsuiteskissmmee.us/ There's no way an unemployed waitress/exotic dancer could afford such a place. (By the way, the ad says this hotel is located on Irlo Bronson Highway. That is 192.) Housing is expensive in all of Central Florida because people are stupidly moving there in droves every day.

No he hasn't. Again, employment numbers are tabulated by the number of people filing for unemployment compensation. That doesn't take into consideration people who are self employed or people who have given up looking for work. Biden's numbers are the worst in history. He HAS done wonderful things for employment numbers in the FAR EAST.

And this is from the president who gave America the greatest economy of all time. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/bidenomics-economics-inflation/2023/06/28/id/1125306/ Trump: 'Bidenomics' Is 'Worst Economic Decline' Since Depression While President Joe Biden and the media detail the sales-pitch element of "Bidenomics," former President Donald Trump is mocking it as a strategy at the root of the "worst economic decline since the Great Depression."

"Now the inflation and high interest rates that Biden caused have resulted in the Biden banking crisis — a disaster of historic proportions." Those are the facts. Biden is the worst president in history. (Or he would be, if he had been legally elected.) And remember the Trump record. https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/ Unprecedented Economic Boom Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy. America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century. Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings. More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million. Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low. The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record. Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades. Delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for citizens of all backgrounds. Unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma all reached record lows. Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years. Lifted nearly 7 million people off of food stamps. Poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans reached record lows. Income inequality fell for two straight years, and by the largest amount in over a decade. The bottom 50 percent of American households saw a 40 percent increase in net worth. Wages rose fastest for low-income and blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase. African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent. Brought jobs, factories, and industries back to the USA. Created more than 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs. Put in place policies to bring back supply chains from overseas. Small business optimism broke a 35-year old record in 2018. Hit record stock market numbers and record 401ks. The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have repeatedly notched record highs. Rebuilding and investing in rural America. Signed an Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products, which is bringing innovative new technologies to market in American farming and agriculture. Strengthened America’s rural economy by investing over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America. Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns. An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior. During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded. Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost. Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery. Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020. Under the previous administration, it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration. Since April, the Hispanic unemployment rate has fallen by 9.6 percent, Asian-American unemployment by 8.6 percent, and Black American unemployment by 6.8 percent. 80 percent of small businesses are now open, up from just 53 percent in April. Small business confidence hit a new high. Homebuilder confidence reached an all-time high, and home sales hit their highest reading since December 2006. Manufacturing optimism nearly doubled. Household net worth rose $7.4 trillion in Q2 2020 to $112 trillion, an all-time high. Home prices hit an all-time record high. The United States rejected crippling lockdowns that crush the economy and inflict countless public health harms and instead safely reopened its economy. Business confidence is higher in America than in any other G7 or European Union country. Stabilized America’s financial markets with the establishment of a number of Treasury Department supported facilities at the Federal Reserve. Tax Relief for the Middle Class Passed $3.2 trillion in historic tax relief and reformed the tax code. Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history. More than 6 million American workers received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to the tax cuts. A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half. Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free. Doubled the child tax credit. Virtually eliminated the unfair Estate Tax, or Death Tax. Cut the business tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the developed world – all the way down to 21 percent. Small businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income. Businesses can now deduct 100 percent of the cost of their capital investments in the year the investment is made. Since the passage of tax cuts, the share of total wealth held by the bottom half of households has increased, while the share held by the top 1 percent has decreased. Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States. Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas. Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness. Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones. Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero. Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home. Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs. Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments. Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones. Massive Deregulation Ended the regulatory assault on American Businesses and Workers. Instead of 2-for-1, we eliminated 8 old regulations for every 1 new regulation adopted. Provided the average American household an extra $3,100 every year. Reduced the direct cost of regulatory compliance by $50 billion, and will reduce costs by an additional $50 billion in FY 2020 alone. Removed nearly 25,000 pages from the Federal Register – more than any other president. The previous administration added over 16,000 pages. Established the Governors’ Initiative on Regulatory Innovation to reduce outdated regulations at the state, local, and tribal levels. Signed an executive order to make it easier for businesses to offer retirement plans. Signed two executive orders to increase transparency in Federal agencies and protect Americans and their small businesses from administrative abuse. Modernized the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the first time in over 40 years. Reduced approval times for major infrastructure projects from 10 or more years down to 2 years or less. Helped community banks by signing legislation that rolled back costly provisions of Dodd-Frank. Established the White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing to bring down housing costs. Removed regulations that threatened the development of a strong and stable internet. Eased and simplified restrictions on rocket launches, helping to spur commercial investment in space projects. Published a whole-of-government strategy focused on ensuring American leadership in automated vehicle technology. Streamlined energy efficiency regulations for American families and businesses, including preserving affordable lightbulbs, enhancing the utility of showerheads, and enabling greater time savings with dishwashers. Removed unnecessary regulations that restrict the seafood industry and impede job creation. Modernized the Department of Agriculture’s biotechnology regulations to put America in the lead to develop new technologies. Took action to suspend regulations that would have slowed our response to COVID-19, including lifting restrictions on manufacturers to more quickly produce ventilators. Successfully rolled back burdensome regulatory overreach. Rescinded the previous administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, which would have abolished zoning for single-family housing to build low-income, federally subsidized apartments. Issued a final rule on the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard. Eliminated the Waters of the United States Rule and replaced it with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, providing relief and certainty for farmers and property owners. Repealed the previous administration’s costly fuel economy regulations by finalizing the Safer Affordable Fuel Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles rule, which will make cars more affordable, and lower the price of new vehicles by an estimated $2,200. Americans now have more money in their pockets. Deregulation had an especially beneficial impact on low-income Americans who pay a much higher share of their incomes for overregulation. Cut red tape in the healthcare industry, providing Americans with more affordable healthcare and saving Americans nearly 10 percent on prescription drugs. Deregulatory efforts yielded savings to the medical community an estimated $6.6 billion – with a reduction of 42 million hours of regulatory compliance work through 2021. Removed government barriers to personal freedom and consumer choice in healthcare. Once fully in effect, 20 major deregulatory actions undertaken by the Trump Administration are expected to save American consumers and businesses over $220 billion per year. Signed 16 pieces of deregulatory legislation that will result in a $40 billion increase in annual real incomes. Fair and Reciprocal Trade Secured historic trade deals to defend American workers. Immediately withdrew from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Ended the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and replaced it with the brand new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The USMCA contains powerful new protections for American manufacturers, auto-makers, farmers, dairy producers, and workers. The USMCA is expected to generate over $68 billion in economic activity and potentially create over 550,000 new jobs over ten years. Signed an executive order making it government policy to Buy American and Hire American, and took action to stop the outsourcing of jobs overseas. Negotiated with Japan to slash tariffs and open its market to $7 billion in American agricultural products and ended its ban on potatoes and lamb. Over 90 percent of American agricultural exports to Japan now receive preferential treatment, and most are duty-free. Negotiated another deal with Japan to boost $40 billion worth of digital trade. Renegotiated the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement, doubling the cap on imports of American vehicles and extending the American light truck tariff. Reached a written, fully-enforceable Phase One trade agreement with China on confronting pirated and counterfeit goods, and the protection of American ideas, trade secrets, patents, and trademarks. China agreed to purchase an additional $200 billion worth of United States exports and opened market access for over 4,000 American facilities to exports while all tariffs remained in effect. Achieved a mutual agreement with the European Union (EU) that addresses unfair trade practices and increases duty-free exports by 180 percent to $420 million. Secured a pledge from the EU to eliminate tariffs on American lobster – the first United States-European Union negotiated tariff reduction in over 20 years. Scored a historic victory by overhauling the Universal Postal Union, whose outdated policies were undermining American workers and interests. Engaged extensively with trade partners like the EU and Japan to advance reforms to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Issued a first-ever comprehensive report on the WTO Appellate Body’s failures to comply with WTO rules and interpret WTO agreements as written. Blocked nominees to the WTO’s Appellate Body until WTO Members recognize and address longstanding issues with Appellate Body activism. Submitted 5 papers to the WTO Committee on Agriculture to improve Members’ understanding of how trade policies are implemented, highlight areas for improved transparency, and encourage members to maintain up-to-date notifications on market access and domestic support. Took strong actions to confront unfair trade practices and put America First. Imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions worth of Chinese goods to protect American jobs and stop China’s abuses under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Directed an all-of-government effort to halt and punish efforts by the Communist Party of China to steal and profit from American innovations and intellectual property.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/landmark-study-shows-suicide-psychiatric-conditions-much-higher-in-transgender-people Landmark Study Shows Suicide, Psychiatric Conditions Much Higher In Transgender People A new Danish landmark study finds that suicide rates and psychiatric conditions are much higher among trans-identifying people. Trans-identifying people in Denmark had a suicide death rate 3.5 times higher and a suicide attempt rate 7.7 times higher than people who did not identify as transgender, according to the study, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. There were 92 suicide attempts and 12 suicide deaths among the study’s 3,759 trans-identifying people between 1980 and 2021. The study analyzed the medical and legal gender change records of nearly seven million people in Denmark, including the nearly 3,800 transgender people, over the last four decades. Trans-identifying people also tended to die younger overall, whether by suicide or something else, the study found. However, suicide rates in both groups decreased over the four decades the study examined. “Results suggest that transgender individuals had significantly higher rates of suicide attempt, suicide mortality, suicide-unrelated mortality, and all-cause mortality compared with the nontransgender population,” the study said. Meanwhile, the rate of psychiatric conditions was higher for the trans-identifying group. Transgenderism is a mental illness, plain and simple. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255 Gender dysphoria is the feeling of discomfort or distress that might occur in people whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth or sex-related physical characteristics. Gender dysphoria might cause adolescents and adults to experience a marked difference between inner gender identity and assigned gender that lasts for at least six months. The difference is shown by at least two of the following: A difference between gender identity and genitals or secondary sex characteristics, such as breast size, voice and facial hair. In young adolescents, a difference between gender identity and anticipated secondary sex characteristics. A strong desire to be rid of these genitals or secondary sex characteristics, or a desire to prevent the development of secondary sex characteristics. A strong desire to have the genitals and secondary sex characteristics of another gender. A strong desire to be or to be treated as another gender. A strong belief of having the typical feelings and reactions of another gender. When in doubt, trust the science.

What gets me is the time factor. I don't like admitting my age that much (probably because I've had way more birthdays than I could have ever dreamed of) but I've witnessed events that the liberals here are acting like they never existed. That kind of stupidity could only come from teenagers. In another thread, I mentioned the Limbaugh era which began in the late 80s and dominated the 90s. Limbaugh once said that the liberal ideas everybody laughs at today will wind up in our faces not too far into the future. In the 90s, NOBODY would have believed there would such a thing as Woke, Defund the Police, Climate Change, and all the other left wing fairy tales that the liberals here seem to thrive on.

Collecting a pension,or food stamps? Teenager mentality prevails in uneducated liberals who never evolved past the age of 18.

Crawl back under your rock TROLL.

WRONG. To bring your uneducated brain up to even Florida Third Grade standards, unemployment rates are determined by the number of people filing for unemployment compensation. You obviously didn't know that. Those figures do not include the self employed (who do not have state financed unemployment insurance) or those who have frankly given up looking for work. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/biden-jobs-economy-job-creation-matt-weidinger Biden's job creation numbers are nuts Expensive policies didn’t create even a single one of the millions of additional promised jobs I'll admit that Unelected Joe has created RECORD numbers of jobs, FOR THE FAR EAST. Compare that to the Trump miracle. https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/ Unprecedented Economic Boom Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy. America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century. Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings. More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million. Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low. The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record. Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades. Those are the facts, and It's easy to suggest that Biden is the worst president in history, but he was never legally elected. He has done more damage to this country than KKKarter, KKKlinton and Obama combined.

The problem is you left wing goose steppers have no facts. Your sources (Treason Times,CNN, MSNBC, the View) only give OPINIONS and no facts. You have NEVER posted ANYTHING of a factual nature since I arrived here. Just left wing goose stepping OPINIONS. That is a LIE and you are a LIAR.

That is very true. And this thread is not blaming the store owners. It is blaming the city government for not allowing the police to come in and enforce the law because of this bullshit DEFUND THE POLICE crap. It also blames the animals who commit felony theft time after time. Walmart can't detain an animal for shoplifting. Walmart CAN close a store down. And the people who are whining the most about their favorite place to save money are the same mor0ns who elected the city leadership who put the cuffs on the police, rather than let the police put the cuffs on the animals who drove the store away.
