Congress funds this a$$ clown and his insulting show of treasonous carnival barking misdirection.
Pull every last dime going forward. He will only spend it to make things worse than doing nothing. He spends to ruin us. If you cut him off, it can only be better.
My add on seaplane rating in 1995 was the best $600 I ever spent. Very seat of the pants, low, slow, and contrary to everything that is procedural safe piloting. The most un-nerving thing is NO BRAKES! Ever! Steering can be more like sailing. Your check ride puts the dead stick plane in the middle of the lake and you must "sail it" with no power to the dock, using only rudder, ailerons, and the wind.
Your "CARS" Checkilst for landing consists of almost nothing. Carb Heat, Area Clear, Rudder in Position, Stick. Kill power and drop like a brick.

I know a few people with Air B&B’s. They are overextended, heavily in debt, and should not be in that business position. They are very much the “next seminar away” from being millionaires.

We have the loss of our freedoms with the "Patriot Act, TSA, Department of Homeland Security, Two of the world's largest high rise buildings with over 2,000 occupants killed, and that was just with 26 Jihadi Boyz that over-stayed on their Visas.
Americans must seem like real idiots to the rest of the world.
Does anyone else realize we as a nation implemented hundreds of new restrictive laws, the Patriot Act, launched the ridiculous TSA, rise the DHS, and trillions of dollars in costs, over 26 aliens that were all in our country on an illegal status due to expired visas, that used our good nature and accepting kindness to kill 2200 people and destroy the World Tade Towers?
And now we want more? And we want them to be fed, housed, and cared for? My goodness the American people are stupid.
2003 Toyota Corolla here. 136,000 miles on it. Also a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan with 162,000 miles. Run cheap. Fox cheap. Maintain cheap. Insure cheap.
Skate cheap.
Where is the value in driving a depreciating value fixed cost debt that depreciates as fast as your monthly car payment and insurance adds up?
I haven't paid more than $3500 dollars for a nice driving vehicle in 30 years. We plan on one last purchase of a Subaru Wagon when we find the right deal, to replace the Dodge Grand Caravan. It spent a decade in Chicago and the rust rot in the usual places on the undercarriage is taking its toll. I tried welding an exhaust bracket back on and the arc just evaporates the rust. It has no good steel to weld to underneath. Looks great though from the driveway.

The new mayor of Memphis actually inflated 2023 crime numbers with a revision in 2024 on the 2023 totals after his first 100 days so he could claim he was making gains on tackling crime.

The new schools superintendent will most likely try to pull the same stunt.
Chaos, crime, illiteracy, incompetence, and corruption, are the fuels that keep the money flowing in run down blue sewer cities. "Selling solutions" they never intend to solve.
