This....is hilarious. One of his best, yet... pic.twitter.com/JDS4zUXXJG— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2020

Most American cities find themselves caught in the Growth Ponzi Scheme. We experience a modest, short term illusion of wealth in exchange for enormous, long term liabilities. We deprive our communities of prosperity, overload our families with debt and become trapped in a spiral of decline. This cannot continue.

Many people find such a suggestion outrageous. But after pulling the rug from under Dems on Immigration, Trump can ensure the loyalty of millions of beleaguered graduate debt owers who will never own a home & delay getting married, and wrest them away from the Bernie/AOC camp. Yes, it's not good budgeting, but consider that the secret owners of the Federal Reserve create monies out of nothing, loan it to the Federal Govt, then recoup it back thru making American workers Tax Plantation N-Words for 40% of their time. The whole system is fantastic. Watch Trump on student loan forgiveness.

Senate forecast is out and right now Dems have a (somewhat) clear advantage to take control. Here goes: Arizona: McSally hasn’t led a single poll. Trump trails Biden in most polls too so she can’t count on coattails. Dem gain. Colorado: Gardner is down double digits and Trump will Lose CO by double digits. This one is off the board. Dem gain. Maine: Collins is struggling in polling but she knows how to win in Maine. We’ll see. Currently a toss up. Georgia: Internal GOP polling just released shows Biden in the LEAD, albeit within the margin of error. Perdue...

It’s just the flu, bro. Agendas everywhere driving this overblown Corona scare: 1. Epidemiologists and politicians don’t want to forecast too low of a death count as a CYA maneuver and for purposes of a power grab. Yes - power grab for epidemiologists because they operate the same as the climate gurus - get on the gravy train. 2. Doctors - cause of death Corona...no matter what. They are overstating this as it helps their hospitals get money. 3. Incels, beta boys and commies - they want anything to happen that would overturn meritocracy because they lose out when merit...

Lord, we are true believers. You have been our refuge for all of our lives. We have waited on you with holy fear and sacred awe. And now, with the Holy Spirit to help us, we open our mouths. Like David, we have marshaled our thoughts like men of war and, like arrows, we make straight aim with our prayers. We direct our prayers with all of our strength, we let our arrows fly. When the arrows and our prayers, have left our hands, only then, Lord, will we look up. We expect, Oh, Lord, according to Your Word, to...

Governments love crises because when the people are fearful they are more willing to give up freedoms for promises that the government will take care of them. After 9/11, for example, Americans accepted the near-total destruction of their civil liberties in the PATRIOT Act’s hollow promises of security. It is ironic to see the same Democrats who tried to impeach President Trump last month for abuse of power demanding that the Administration grab more power and authority in the name of fighting a virus that thus far has killed less than 100 Americans. Declaring a pandemic emergency on Friday, President...

Wikipedia says Dr. Fauci was born December 24, 1940 (age 79). If that's his age, it puts him in the high risk group for dangerous impacts if he were to contract COVID-19. He is definitely doing a public service by letting the American people know the magnitude of the potential crisis. But is he putting himself at risk by going around to TV studios and doing all these press conferences? Has anyone seen where the media has asked him if he has been tested, and whether he has considered limiting his social outreach because of his age? In other words,...

In this era fraught with coronavirus worries and new advice coming seemingly every day, I'd like to propose a new replacement for the germ-filled handshake. Let's revive Mr. Spock's Vulcan salute from Star Trek, a simple and sanitary gesture that's just as useful as a handshake greeting, and 10 times more charming. Even if you're not a huge Star Trek fan, you likely know the gesture. Actor Leonard Nimoy, who died in 2015, invented it himself. The actor would raise his hand with the palm facing forward, thumb extended, and his middle and ring finger parted. It's often accompanied with...

Davos, Switzerland hosts the annual World Forum. For the first time, its participant is a former comedian, and now President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. On Wednesday evening, January 22, Zelensky spoke to the audience. More precisely - almost in front of an empty room. At a speech by the President of Ukraine, the audience was only a few people. At that time, for example, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, who spoke to Zelensky, gathered a full house. World leaders seem to have realized that Zelensky is an empty suit as a politician and an extremely hollow person. In...

Is POTUS walking into a trap in the Senate?

A lot of people, especially on the Left says that America will see a military draft. Look at this Twitter thread I saw tonight....a lot of millennials don't even have respect for those who are going to deal with this Iranian crisis....they are belittling their service saying that "they signed up for it, etc." https://twitter.com/757Native/status/1213134119279955968

So as a webmaster I am curious who has more than one username and account here? Webmasters and admin need at least two, and two different email addresses so that they can test the script from the user side. I am guessing that Jim and John have acquired many more than that over the years so that they can cruise around under the table with discussions. But I am very curious how many here have more than one as to assume different personalities as the situation requires in their agenda? I am one of those who has only owned one...

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has accused U.S. forces of stealing the country's oil and working with terrorists to maintain their positions there, as he tries to restore his authoritarian rule over the war-torn nation. Assad—who is backed by Russia and Iran—told state news agency SANA that Syrians must unite to make America's position in the country untenable. It has been a turbulent end to 2019 for U.S. forces in Syria. There were some 2,000 soldiers stationed in the country until October, when President Donald Trump abruptly ordered American troops out of position in the northeast of the country, where they...

There is an FR thread California universities using SAT for admissions are violating civil rights, lawsuit claims. The Compton school district is one of those suing. SAT and ACT scores do vary a lot around the state, but so do other objective academic measures. Unless the University of California moves to open admissions and self-destructs, there is no way for the entering class to match California's racial democragraphics. Here is a comparison of the high schools of Compton and Cupertino (home of Apple) with data from College Simply. Compton is 0% White, 0% Asian, 17% Black, and 82% Hispanic. 6...

A New York man with famous parents posted a message on Twitter on Saturday night, urging people to donate to the 2020 presidential campaign of U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii. The request came from Sean Ono Lennon, the 44-year-old son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. “Even if you are skeptical of @TulsiGabbard you can’t say she doesn’t deserve to be part of this race,” Lennon wrote. “She is the primary candidate who is adding to a conversation around ending unnecessary wars. Please donate a dollar. She only needs 3000 more individual donations.”

Hillary Clinton on Sunday posted a flowery fake letter from President John F. Kennedy to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to mock President Trump's recent, casually worded missive to Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan, but the Twitter mockery quickly blew back in Clinton's face, with commentators across the political spectrum suggesting the former secretary of state shouldn't relish so openly in Twitter trolling. What's more, users quickly noted that Clinton's team had lifted the letter, without attribution, from a segment on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that aired this past Wednesday night. The kerfuffle came as Clinton's feud with Tulsi Gabbard has prompted...

Both Romney and Lindsey say it would be terrible if there were quid pro quo between aid to Ukraine and “campaign help”. Ok, so why are they not holding hearings to interview the players in public where the nation can see? Why are they leaving the task to Adam Schiff, with secret hearings? As Rand Paul said, all the people Schiff is interviewing in secret could be called before Lindsey’s committee in the Senate to testify in public, so the American people can know what’s going on During watergate there were senate and house hearings. The senate didn’t surrender its...

"Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman are accused of using a limited liability company to make political contributions related to American elections, in violation of FEC prohibitions against contributions from foreign nationals. Both men have been linked to Giuliani’s efforts to conduct investigations in Ukraine." “Parnas and Fruman, who had no significant prior history of political donations, sought to advance their personal financial interests and the political interests of at least one Ukrainian government official with whom they were working,” the indictment says."

I know it's been discussed before but the extent OF drudges left turn is unbelievable. Case in point, he links to Market Watch heavily. This is the one truly left wing publication in Murdochs portfolio. Always has been.. I wonder, did DRUDGE literally sell out?
