Shapiro is viewed as a Trump hater by many, and not without cause. Two persons whose names I haven’t even seen mentioned are Ken Matthews and Todd Herman. I was always so grateful when I heard the words ‘Mark Steyn filling in for Rush.’ I have nothing against the other two but just found Steyn much more entertaining to listen to.
Not to mention, there is virtually no CO2 in the atmosphere.
I like Bongino, too, but have only seen/heard him as a guest, not a host. I will mention that he is awaiting tests on some spots on his lungs ... well-wishes to him, for sure.
Rush loved William Buckley jr as did I, and he is not forgotten, we loved paul harvey too.
Buckley was very astute, and never backed down on his principles.
Obviously we are going to have to reduce water vapor to save our planet. So everyone stop breathing!
Replace Rush? Trump or Tucker could start off seamlessly, but then see if they can go the distance on confining format of commercial radio.
It has nothing to do with being “pro-immigration.” It has to do with numbers and need. We don’t need 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year. We have a surplus of labor. Mass immigration depresses wages and takes American jobs.
I am all for having a merit based system. Right now we have a kinship system with only 12% coming thru merit. We are mainly bringing in low skilled immigrants who cost more in welfare benefits than they provide in taxes.
The average age of incoming immigrants is 31.
An analysis of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey shows that immigrants (legal and illegal) are coming to the United States at significantly older ages than in the past. The average age and the share arriving at or near retirement increased significantly in the last two decades. These findings have implications for the often-made argument that immigration makes the country significantly younger. The findings also have implications for public coffers because prior research indicates that younger immigrants tend to have a more positive lifetime fiscal impact than older immigrants. The nation’s overall immigrant population is also aging rapidly.
Among the findings:
The average age of newly arrived legal and illegal immigrants has increased from 26 in 2000 to 31 in 2017. The newly arrived are those who have lived in the country for 1.5 years or less at the time of the survey.
Older age groups have seen the largest increases. The share of newly arrived immigrants who are 50 or over nearly doubled, from 8 percent to 15 percent; the share 55 and over more than doubled, from 5 percent to 12 percent; and the share 65 and older roughly tripled, from 2 percent to 6 percent.
On an annual basis, 276,000 immigrants 50 and older now settle in the country, including 213,000 immigrants 55 and older, and 113,000 who are 65 and older.
The rise in the age at arrival for immigrants is a broad phenomenon affecting immigrants from most of the primary sending regions and top sending countries.
Several factors likely explain the rising age of new arrivals, including significant population aging in all of the top immigrant-sending regions of the world, an increase in the number of green cards going to the parents of U.S. citizens, and a decline in new illegal immigration prior to 2017.
Aging of Overall Immigrant Population
Looking at all immigrants, the number of working-age (18-64) immigrants increased by 42 percent between 2000 and 2017, but the number over the age of 64 increased by 108 percent.
The average age of all immigrants increased from 39 years to 45 years between 2000 and 2017. This is more than twice as fast as the average age increase for the nation’s overall population.
Because the population of immigrants 65 and older has grown so fast, the share of all immigrants who are of retirement age now matches that of the native-born — 16 percent.
The increase in the age at which immigrants are arriving contributed to rapid aging in the overall immigrant population, though the primary reason immigrants are aging is simply the natural aging of immigrants already in the country.
Fauxi’s story evolves and mutates into many variants, just like the China Flu
Mmmmm, Katie Waldman.
Stephen Miller out kicked his coverage.
Well, a Republican Washington needs to reverse the Terd Kennedy reforms and make welfare an instant cause for rescinding naturalization and deporting the parasites.
PLUS! The gubmint has a ready made list perfect for purging the thieving foreign welfare pigs.
Thanks for the always informative deep dive into an issue and the data to illustrate it. Much appreciated in these days of “ quick quotes” with no data
Sorry...I had no idea.
NO!
Or, I hope not. Take your pick.
Forgive me, but I don't get your drift. Do you mean his vast gold mine of a radio show "bites the dust?"
I like Bongino but he has a small matter of lymphoma on his neck.
CO2 does hold some heat. But more importantly it is plant food.
Without plants, all life staves to death and life that lives on oxygenation suffocates.
The biggest problem with the “Greenhouse” gas theory of carbon is how unlike a real greenhouse Earth is.
A closed greenhouse gets warmer, there is no doubt. You can try it for yourself and see.
However, the Earth ISN’T a closed greenhouse. Lots of “windows” are open, including night time, especially in dry climates, the polar night times that extend for months and other factors make Earth a greenhouse with openings that regulate excessive heat and cold.
It’s as if a Higher Power was making that happen!
But at one time, that Higher Power was adjusting the thermostat, sort of speak, just like a father would.
At 500+ million years ago oxygen levels got so high, and CO2 so low, that the Earth froze over. Completely. Even the equators. The excessive oxygen in the atmosphere killed 99 percent of life on Earth. It was only when a geologic happening based on plate tectonics built up enough CO2 from volcanoes that the Earth warmed up hospitably for life.
For the past 100s of millions of years, oxygen levels have remained at about 18-24% and CO2 at .03 percent. Co2 has gone as high as 2000 parts per million (ppm) to as low as 195 ppm. And that’s actually a pittance either way on that .03%.
When CO2 was high in the Eocene, the whole Earth was a warm paradise with palm tees up and beyond the Arctic circle and vast forests on Antarctica. Lots and lots of life!
When Co2 was very low 50,000 years ago, the Earth was in a dry cold ice age and plants were barely hanging on.
So I for one welcome Co2 and its contribution to me and mine not freezing to death and my plants thriving and growing.
Ain’t God’s science wonderful?
Let me explain this with specificity, Hannity sucks.
He is unlistenable
Yeah sure. So who is going to bell the cat? Certainly not the RINOs.
Yer dam two hunnert Larri.
