Since the status quo isn't delivering, do you not have any suggestions to improve our health care system? If you rule out any private sector involvement, what's the next step?

Health insurance. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/12/29/1221780712/more-states-extend-health-coverage-to-immigrants-even-as-issue-inflames-gop They get put up in hotels. That's a benefit. Unemployment benefits. They want more. https://www.foxnews.com/us/the-cost-of-illegal-immigration-migrants-cost-us-taxpayers-billions-a-year https://www.newsweek.com/migrants-food-money-new-york-snap-benefits-1867058

No offense, but you must be wearing the most elaborate rose coloured glasses on the planet. Not all cultures integrate seamlessly into western society, some much worse than others. You seem to be implying that if immigration through legal means isn't fast enough, then anyone and everyone has the right to just stroll across the border and demand benefits. The US has it's limitations, and it's extremely arrogant to suggest that because you perceive them to be so rich that they are obligated to provide housing to all migrants. If it's so easy to address the problem, then why is Biden failing so miserably now? Illegals are provided with all kinds of benefits while veterans are left in need. Mass immigration : US, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, and of course, Canada. Many of the people forcing their way into these countries despise our type of society. We have already seen some clashes between cultures in Canada between radical gender ideology proponents and Canada's rapidly growing Muslim population, they won't stand for that kind of stuff being forced onto their children.

Are you content with the current state of the health care system?

A lot to digest there. You use the usual liberal talking points in order to defend an open border. Concerns about the amount of people entering the country? Don't know who is entering the country? Don't know how many 'gotaways' there are? Xenophobia of course! The more people living in America the stronger it becomes? People living in China and India may beg to differ. People feel safer living in America under Biden than they did under Trump? Have you seriously not seen what is happening in big cities? In particular Democrat run cities? What's so wrong with entering the country through legal channels? Lot's of people were trying to enter the US even when Trump was president, but demonstrably lower numbers than under the Biden administration. This despite repeated claims from progressives that the US, and western society as a whole, are systemically racist. Mass immigration is overwhelming all of these countries, especially health care and housing. And yet, progressives keep demanding that we let in more and more people.

He graduated at the top of his class, he was a truck driver, fought in street wars with Corn Pop, marched at the front of the civil rights movement, his house burned down while his wife was in it, the list goes on lol. Not a joke...not a joke!🤣

Trump and his businesses have certainly been involved in a lot of lawsuits prior to entering politics, there is no denying that. Probably more than his fair share compared to his contemporaries. I would compare the overall state of the union during his term to that of Biden. Covid was the giant wrench thrown into the system. Life was much more affordable for Americans, and the international scene was also much more peaceful. The southern border was in much better shape. If you're a typical Democrat supporter, you may not even be aware there is an issue at the border at all. You now have people on American streets chanting 'death to American, death to Israel!'. It's fair game to be critical of Trump, just as it's fair game to point out Biden's long list of failures. Or more accurately, the failures of his puppeteers.

The tariffs may not be a sure thing just yet. There must be some secret negotiations happening between the CCP and representatives(Hunter Biden?) of the Biden administration. The issue may yet get resolved with some very timely and huge wire transfers from the CCP to designated offshore accounts 😉

I've posted this before but since you are new here, I'll put it up again. A short history of your beloved Hamas. "Hamas has been relatively peaceful in comparison..." Your statement ranks right up with that 'journalist' with burning buildings behind him while stating it's "mostly peaceful".

This is what the civilized world is up against. He's perfectly open about what the ultimate goal of Hamas is. And still, progressives around the world rally behind men like this.

What is Biden doing to defend and promote liberalism in his own country? We all know how government resources have been weaponized against his most serious political opponent with nonsensical charges.. Speaking of China and Russia, we also know that Joe and his family have very lucrative financial ties to both countries, especially China. Those countries are not the only one's. Biden is 99% opportunist and perhaps 1% liberal.

The public servants themselves are reporting that they are more productive at home but I would expect them to say that. I would rather see more data that actually backs that up. A quick search online only revealed one side, the public servants. Remember that it's government, so there are already low expectations for productivity in the first place.

Some people claim there is a campaign of genocide in Gaza which has been ongoing for many years. If so, it's the most ineffective and incompetent campaign of genocide in world history. This link is from 2016 but you get the idea. https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-israel-united-nations-palestinian-territories-gaza-strip-0b9fbb989fc2411495afd811da4ac6d0 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1491QF/ From 2022: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/israel-palestinians-gaza-population/ All they do is make babies, rockets, bombs and tunnels.

You should be aware that the IDF always gives warnings to civilians before they attack an area. Dropping leaflets, individual text messages and so on. What more can they do to avoid casualties? Even you should know that Hamas loves to use their own people as human shields and it's likely that they often do not allow their own people to evacuate before an attack. How is the IDF supposed to take out launch sites for rockets and mortars when Hamas hides among civilians all the time? They do not wear military uniforms either.

Do you deny the fact that young Palestinians are taught to kill from a very early age?

I can't understand why so many people casually dismiss what Hamas did on Oct 7 with a 'so what?' attitude. They say, no proof of atrocities! Fact is, the footage that Hamas took(they were PROUD of it) was shown to select journalists in the misguided hope that maybe this time, Hamas would not win the war of public opinion. Wrong, Hamas is winning the war of public opinion. Lot's of gullible people around these days. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/s1gwdnawt

You clearly missed the part that said 'James and Hunter Biden were in the midst of a lucrative deal with Chinese executives at the time,' There is only one China. Anyone that does business with China is doing business with the CCP.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/31/jimmy-biden-president-brother/ This is from the WaPo, friend and ally of the Democrats : President Biden’s brother James is known in the family as the one who’s always ready to help. But he also has a history of business dealings that resulted in recriminations and lawsuits. “Hunter, we are cut from the same cloth,” James Biden wrote. “… You are a fine and yes, a gentle person. Believe it or not, I know you. Sounds corney,but we both deserve to enjoy the moment. Concentrate on the good in our lives and try to step out of all the bullshit you deal with on a minute to minute basis.” The exchange comes from a copy of a hard drive that Hunter Biden purportedly dropped off at a repair shop and never retrieved. A copy was provided to The Washington Post, and the emails cited in this article were authenticated by two forensic analysts. James and Hunter Biden were in the midst of a lucrative deal with Chinese executives at the time, while Joe Biden was out of public service for the first time in nearly a half-century, having left the vice presidency a few months earlier. Hunter Biden was also wrestling with drug addiction, financial problems and a relationship with his late brother Beau’s widow that had become public. Amid all that, Hunter Biden turned to his uncle, at least as much as to his famous father, for emotional support. Hunter also relied upon James Biden, who goes by Jim and is known as Jimmy within the family, on matters of dollars and cents. Within days of that exchange, Hunter received another email from his uncle urging him to take advantage of a financial opportunity related to Joe Biden. The urgency is clear, even if the precise subject is not. “You need to call me now,” James Biden wrote on Oct. 1, 2017. “Just got off the phone with your father...We have the two biggest days of our business life in front of us!!!!!! We must be smart, or everything goes up in smoke! Please call me. You MUST remain calm. Timing could not be worse. Calm and measured!!!! Paybacks can come later." Gee, they still never say precisely what service they are providing to the Chinese in return for all that money😉

Translation: If you post anything that challenges my 'the Biden family is as pure as the driven snow' narrative, I do not want to see it. If I don't see it, it does not exist. ZERO EVIDENCE! IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Yet more brainy pro-Palestinian protesters. These are not actors. How stupid are they?

I have a lot more trust in the IDF than your source, which is ultimately Hamas. Journalists in Gaza are only allowed to see what Hamas wants them to see. Some of the protesters know full well what the end goal of Hamas is, while others seem to be rather clueless about what they are joining the protest for.

What starvation? If all the aid isn't getting through, it is 100% the fault of Hamas. Hamas controls the amount of aid that gets to civilians. First in line for the aid are the Hamas terrorists, then eventually some of it will reach the actual civilians. All of this after Hamas takes its usual cut of course. The IDF always gives advance warning to civilians to get out, and they will also deliver aid. Your beloved Hamas gives no quarter.

You should direct that question to Chrystia Freeland since she and Trudeau de-banked them.

If they're not students, and they don't live where the protests are taking place, are you suggesting they are paying their own way to go and protest? Who pays to make up all those signs? You think they pay for it out of their own pockets?

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/evidence-paid-anti-israel-protesters-canada https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/kinsella-who-is-behind-funding-for-pro-palestinian-protesters Many of them aren't even students, so it stands to reason that they must be funded by some outside source. Qatar, Saudi and UAE do give billions to American universities so that would partially explain the hatred of Jews and Israel on campuses.
