“Not to throw a wet blanket on this great news, but why wasn’t this done two or three years ago?”

I just watched the video — very inspirational plus good selection of music (which is ultra rare).

The author’s conclusions were disappointing on path to citizenship and tripling of green cards. How about we shit down all immigration for a decade instead?

“Needed time to clean up the courts”

we’ve repeatedly seen this kind of long-term strategic thinking from our President; for example, he didn’t launch the trade tariffs necessary to bring our trading “partners” to the negotiating table until AFTER he first super-charged our economy and made us energy-independent ...

Morrison–Knudsen was a fantastic American construction firm from 1912 until its almost non-stop bankruptcy, acquisition, spin-off, re-acquisition and name changes starting in the early 90s. Its remnants finally wound up in AECOM of Los Angeles in 2014. With a greatly diminished presence in Idaho, the last positions in Boise were eliminated in 2015. It was a great loss to Idaho.

LOL, talk about a Freudian typo there!

Yes, I felt the same “Aw darn, couldn’t you just have left it at the ‘thumbs up’...” but I cut him slack because we have the same goal in getting the wall built.

We will fight after the wall is up!

Judges

They have completely flipped many courts in the last 3 years.

“Judges” is indeed the big conservative development and one where Trump and McConnell have focused a lot of their energy. The news the past day or two about the Ninth Circuit is stupendous.

We owe a lot to a man most people never knew and never will know, Bill Knudsen.

Yes indeed but the victors, the New Dealers, wrote the history. That was one of the books I read from front to back in one sitting. The way they treated Knudsen was criminal.
