The only way things are going to change are with DJT in office and that’s only gonna happen if we can stop the voter fraud
My daughter and wife’s birthday within the same week it was great we enjoyed ourselves
Wonderful! Great to hear fun family stories.
I actually spent half a day in the swimming pool haven’t done that in years nice and relaxing hard to beat sometimes
You are partially correct. BUT the BIGGEST influence we voters have is local Elections - Vote out the Incumbents in the Primaries, otherwise the large number of civil employees in the various Federal/State bureaucracies along with the Judges will continue to ignore Trump and do to him and other what was done by RINOs in Texas to the Texas AG Ron Paxton.
Not sure if you had the time to see Mr. Paxton's interview, I strongly recommend it. Florida's legislature is not much different from Texas'
Even when Clinton was President and Newt Gingrich was bragging about a balanced budget, the debt increased each year. The smallest increase while Clinton was President was only $18 Billion, but in some quarters that is considered a big number. That's more than my wife spends on the grandchildren each year.
And comparing the federal debt to GDP does not make any sense, because that is like comparing your household debt to the income of everybody who lives on your block or in your apartment building. $32 Trillion federal debt compared to $5 Trillion federal income is a lot scarier than that same 32 Trillion compared to GDP of almost 20 Trillion.
So how do we get out of this? Simple. Have Joe Biden sign an executive order forgiving the federal debt and telling all the creditors that, "Hey man, we have nukes and F-16's. What are you gonna do about it? Go behind the woodshed? C'mon man!" Sounds silly, but it is more practical than any of the other alternatives. Then Kevin M can write a strongly worded letter and start spending all over again.

::::snort!::::
I was all over Paxton and the fact that he got the the guy removed who was drunk from the legislature bottom line we do what we can do nothing’s a 100% we’ll do what we can possibly do the key thing however has always and will always be for now voter fraud if you don’t get rid of it we can’t win
I agree, we have indeed crossed the Rubicon.
Now there will be a number of years where we try to sustain some type of G'ment, but as with all previous historically significant regimes, the U.S.A is on the decline.
It took Rome a while to decline. And it took a while for small fiefdoms to emerge.
History keeps repeating itself. People are the same all over with the same habits, the only difference is the circumstances they find themselves in.
Kink John was forces to sine the Magna Carta in 1215 - if you assume that Rome fell by the 400s that is 600 years before the start of another "democratic" g'ment
You do not appear to follow Texas politics very well.
The DRUNK was/is the Speaker of the Texas House Dade Phelan - He along with the Bush gang is one of the people responsible for the impeachment of Paxton.
Dade has draws a number of opponents for the Texas Primary in March
I cannot stress the importance of voting out incumbents in the Primaries
Expelling illegals is essential but can’t be talked about now.
How much political blowback will that create ? Only Trump could withstand it .
That train has already left the station. McCarthy extended the debt limit to January 2025 during the last budget deal. He gave away the store.
2-Year Note Yield rises as high as 5.15%, the highest since July 2006.The 2-Year Note Yield is now up a massive 500 basis points in since August 2021. It’s only a matter of time before we see 8% mortgages and 30% interest on credit card debt.
Over the last 5 years, the US has added a total of $11.5 trillion in debt. At the same time, we are on track for $1 trillion in annual interest expense. Interest will soon be the US government’s biggest expense. Higher rates are here to stay.
Jim Jordan’s interview was very disappointing he looked very weak, and Maria acted like controlled opposition with Gaetz.
Part of that $33 trillion national debt includes the Medicare and SS Trust funds. It is called Intragovernmental holdings.
National Debt September 21, 2023
Public held debt--$26,256,883,939,422.64
Intragovernmental Holdings--$6,843,524,418,049.17
Total debt--$33,100,408,357,471.81
Intragovernmental debt is debt that one part of the government owes to another part. In almost all cases, it is debt held in government trust funds, such as the Social Security trust funds. These debts represent assets to the part of the federal government that owns them (i.e., Social Security), but liabilities to the parts of the government that issue them (the Treasury Department). Therefore, they have no net effect on the government's overall finances.
As of today, intragovernmental debt totals $6.8 trillion, up from $4.8 trillion a decade ago. However, it is projected to fall to $5.6 trillion by the end of FY 2033, as some major trust funds will soon be forced to begin selling off the debt they hold in order to continue covering their expenses.
Public debt
Of the $26.2 trillion of debt held by the public, over 30 percent is owned by foreign entities, roughly 50 percent by private and public domestic entities, and over 20 percent by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve has significantly expanded its Treasury holdings since the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis began in 2020.
Foreign holdings come from a mixture of foreign individuals, businesses, banks, and governments. Of the nearly $8 trillion of foreign-held debt, over 14 percent ($1.1 trillion) is held by Japan and 12 percent ($869 billion) is held by China. The next largest holders are the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Luxembourg, who each hold between $329 billion and $705 billion of U.S. debt. On a combined basis, the Eurozone holds about $1.4 trillion, and Organization of Petroleum Exporting Country (OPEC) member nations together hold $256 billion of U.S. debt.
In terms of the roughly $12 trillion of domestic holdings not held by the Federal Reserve, a large share is held by the financial sector. Mutual funds hold 20 percent of domestic debt holdings not held by the Federal Reserve, depository institutions hold 13 percent, private pension funds hold 4 percent, and insurance companies own 3 percent. About 14 percent is held by state and local governments, who invest in "State and Local Government Series" securities as a way to comply with federal tax laws and anti-arbitrage regulations when they have funds from issuing tax-exempt bonds, and another 3 percent is held by pension funds for their employees. About 2 percent is held by the owners of savings bonds, which are sold directly by the Treasury and are not traded on the private market. The remaining 36 percent is held by other investors, including households, nonfinancial businesses, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs).
Democrats are excited about new voters invading our country. They are looking for new voters. They are looking for cheap labor. We have people who are living on the streets in major cities. Biden is a puppet for Socialism, who will protect his son before putting this country first.
Passing a new Budget, should first guarantee the Border be shut down first. Cut the Budget, but keep the Military properly funded.
Mark Levin is now supporting McCarthy’s approach. All of these “cuts” will be killed in the Senate. It is all performative. We will have another Omnibus bill in December. It is Lucy with the football again.
A box of 12 Great Value toaster cakes (pop tarts) used to be 98 cents. Today they are $1.92 a box. Meanwhile, real Pop Tarts are $5.12 for a 12 box. 
Need to add:
I’m a diabetic. One pair of Pop Tarts would equal half a bottle of insulin for my blood sugar. I don’t eat them... They’re for my son.
