Anti-vaxxer Kennedy is the Death Secretary.

Tammy Bruce serves up an epic word salad about Russia-Ukraine.
"The nature of how we make that commitment is going be based on what's best for America First. It's certainly two nations at war & America has made a huge difference in that regard. This is not something POTUS is not not addressing."
HOLY SHIT! A TRIPLE NEGATIVE!
That's up there with Groucho Mark's "I cannot say that I don't disagree with you."
Problem here is one is a great comedian while the other is spokesperson for the Secretary of State.
She's going to be the gift that keep on giving.

More money would be in your pocket if the party who claims to be fiscally responsible WERE fiscally responsible. Giving freebies via more debt is not putting money in your pocket its akin to taking out a cash advance on your 22% credit card, you WILL pay for whatever you are thinking you are getting and that will be by higher inflation, less benefits and less services when you need them.
I find it ironic that people at a certain age do not understand the concept of future need that you think if you get something NOW that there is no future consequence, ask any retired individual if their purchasing power declines as they age and the answer is yes. You MIGHT get a nickel in your pocket to put in the slot machine but you will pay with hundred dollar bills and then some when the crap hits the fan for YOU and for everyone.
Short sided economics is what is crushing the future of Americans...give me a nickel now and I will pay you back 100 bucks later, yeah smart thinking.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) today on the BBB.."The president of the United States didn't give us an assignment. We're not a bunch of little bitches around here, okay? I'm a member of Congress. I represent almost 800,000 Wisconsinites."
A hundy says the big tough talking wuss votes to approve the bill.
Any takers?

Unfortunately stuff like that is just pork posturing and that is why the senate took 500 hours to debate this mess it is so all of the players get to put in their pork slop so they get their back scratched in order to pass this abomination. It isnt like Biden didnt do the same thing and that both parties are guilty because everyone is bought and paid for if you give them their slice of the pie then they will play ball.
About the only person in politics that might be considered true to the office is that bizarro Paul child who also has his pet projects and is paid for but not as quickly and easily as most of these politicians.

Jersey, Oklahoma, Ohio, Texas, Arizona or Washington, get ready to spend time going through "pre-authorized" for 17 different services that HHS believes are the most abused. The program starts next year & will be in place for 5 years. Here's a little more info...
Right now, we can go anywhere anytime without getting an OK from anyone. I'm sure we have some hypochondriacs who abuse the system but let's be real. I don't know anyone over 65 that has services provided they don't need. Hell, every time we visit the doctor we're concerned they will find something we need fixed!
It's just going to be a pain in the ass for those affected over the next 5 years.
IF YOU HAVE MEDICARE AND LIVE IN...

Here is something to consider, the deficits you listed were including a much higher interest cost than Trump had to deal with since he had the cheapest ZIRP in history, Biden waded through some of the largest rate increases in twenty years plus. Interesting how Biden did not threaten Powell or insult him, demean him and attack him rather treated him with respect even if the decisions the FED made were difficult on interest costs AND economic growth.

@wallstreetcappers
True, WSC, Biden has class specifically in that regard.
And he inherited Powell who was a trump appointee...yet treated him with class, ultimately helping Biden to handoff a good economy to the CONVICTED FELON and his accomplices...

Oh I agree about Powell. Trump's mouth mostly likely will backfire on him as I see Powell digging his heels in. That's Donald. But I'm not giving dems any free pass because there was no ZIRP. Since the COVID overspending spree the flood gates remained open. Biden's yearly budget proposals were clearly overbudget with no plan, no matter how faulty, to even attempt to balance.
Seems like both parties try to buy the next election's vote with fed spending and the parties have no common direction. If our country was a ship dems want to sail East and Repubs West. And when dems have the opportunity to "adjust" course they would rather produce a dead stop. (314 filibusters in Trump's 1st term) All these course reversals is costing money for the feds and private sector.
As far as Trump as his "Drill baby, drill" I interpret it as I want oil prices as low as we can get and want self reliance. Biden on the other hand promised young girls he was going to "end fossil fuel". And now people brag about Biden era pumping the most oil in history. I'll take Trump.

I agree, stick to reporting weather not pushing a political agenda. Doesn't take billions and billions to predict the weather.
The Smithsonian is another out of control brain washing machine. The Star Wars exhibit;
From the mid-1970's the nation found itself reeling from the loss in vietnam and revelations about Richard Nixon's dirty tricks presidency. In response Star Wars creator George Lucas offered a tale set in a galaxy, far, far away........inspired hope and raised an enduring question. How can we build a virtuous republic?
One placard, featured alongside a 1923 circus poster, reads: "Under the big top, circuses expressed the colonial impulse to claim dominion over the world." Another, describing early American entertainment, declares: "One of the earliest defining traits of entertainment in the United States was extraordinary violence."
In reference to the Indiana Jones film series, another panel reads: "His character embodied a confident righteousness that, in many ways, captured the essence of the 1980s" above another subhead referencing President Ronald Reagan's famous speech, asking, "Are you better off?"
One panel calls Magnum, P.I. a challenge to the "popular perceptions of Vietnam veterans as damaged misfits." A section on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show refers to it as "the go-to for viewers who mistrusted politicians and the reporting process."
The bullshit ends now!
And speaking of climate change, since 1900 every decade has seen at least one hurricane making landfall in the United States during the month of June.........until 1986. Since 1986 it has been 39 years straight with no June hurricane hitting the US mainland. This year no June hurricanes even developed in the Atlantic.

Yes. Or at least that's the concept of his plan. Sort of.
However, when that time arrives fruitlessly, he will stomp around angrily for several hours before extending the deadline another 90 days.

I wouldn’t know what their political belief were (you don’t ask what political party someone votes and you don’t discuss religion with people - that is one of the memos you guys didn’t receive when your mothers raised you - nothing can divide people more than those two subjects - and it doesn’t bring any good with it to discuss with other people) - and I would not respect anyone - solely based on the fact they were veterans - the only field of work I respect everyone in - is the health care system - but that is mainly because I am not American I suppose - cause over there it is just for the money - they go into that field
Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep
