Neither leftists or anybody else in the US need feel compelled to listen to moral hectoring from an aged reactionary living thousands of miles away.
Then why do you?

Because laughing at bambu is almost as much fun as laughing at you.

News Item

 
Eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Force in three major cities .

All eight Tajikistan nationals crossed the U.S. southern border illegally, and according to a federal source familiar with the sting, no derogatory information was initially flagged with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during processing.

But, but, Hairy says the border is not open.

Next!

The feeding and sheltering of the world poor and needy should not have to be bourne by US taxpayers. You have not noticed inflation? 20$ for breakfast?     


You are a little with this latest beef with government.

Inflation is at 3.9% yet prices remain at the rate when it as 9.5% post pandemic. That
Biden inflation over his term is 18 per cent.

Yeah, so?

Goddamn apostrophes! Cut off the meat of my post.


Inflation peake post pandemic as costs spiked. Inflation has been receding ever since but cost/prices remain at pandemic rates while corporations reap record profits.
A long as consumers kept spending the cost remained fixed. As consumers pulled back their dollars corporations are responding accordingly.

So what is  good about Hamas?
Killing people indiscriminately?
Killing Palestinians?
Killing Arabs and Jews and Americans?
They have blood on their hands.
They have been using violence since the beginning of their movement as the only strategy, and they just crowned their violence with a genocide. So, what is not obvious about Hamas?


The son of a Hamas co-founder expressed shock and dismay at anti Israel college protesters he sees as misguided and "misinformed about the issues.


They found an angry cause, and this is very dangerous to advocate on behalf of something they do not understand,Mosab Hassan Yousef, known as the Green Prince,told Fox News Digital in an interview.
They are not helping the situation. They are just making it worse.


https://www.foxnews.com/world/hamas-green-prince-shocked-by-college-campus-anti-israel-protests-they-dont-understand

Hamas and Netanyahu government are in a perverse alliance for survival.

If a deal is struck to secure the hostages and the war comes to a permanent ceasefire Bibi will be thrown out of office and the Rightwing government dissolved. Once that happens  Netanyah immediately goes on trial for corruption where he will lose. Hamas will be viewed with contempt in Gaza for bringing this hell down on the Palestinians and they will lose their international benefactors like Qatar AND Iran.

Then the Israelis will conduct a sensible covert campaign of targeted assassinations and abductions of Hamas leadership that will degrade the organization. Its one thing to be martyred in battle another to be garroted while taking a leak.

The rightwing government conduct of this war is an exercise in ethnic cleansing to gain control and ownership of Gaza and the West Bank. Jared Kushner already has designs on the beachfront of Gaza.

Another aspect I find to be stomach churning is the way many commentators frame the number of casualties in Gaza as inflated by the Gaza Health ministries since those organizations are run by Hamas. But even if you accept that as fact and you cut the numbers by half that leaves at last 17,000 dead and 40,000 wounded (many of whom are women and children) and the areas infrastructure in almost total ruin.

Is there a better example of the incompetence of Joe Biden than the Hunter Biden trial?

Is there a better example of a fathers unconditional love for his child?

I saw him in concert a couple of weeks ago.  A little preachy, but still good.

Nice. Saw him at SDSU about a month ago. He opened w Cortez the Killer, which was a bit on the nose.


My niece is a student at SDSU. Loves the school!

Yes church groups and various national entities should provide help, should not be a burden to the American taxpayer. Sleeping in the streets while aliens are sheltered in luxury hotels.


The provision of public goods and services, the protection of its population from danger, and the maintenance of law and order are considered to be three of the most essential roles that governments play. The provision of public goods and services is the government's first and most significant important function.

What a disgrace, talking up veterans while he steals funds to give to illegal aliens.

You are a sucker for Republican propaganda. You have been spouting bullshit about the VA since Obama.

Immigrants cannot access most federally funded benefits programs at all without legal status, and they do not receive any of the special assistance provided to veterans

Immigrants illegally in the country are ineligible for ANY form of federal cash assistance, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Some states allowed them to apply for one-time COVID-19 relief money.

However, there are several federal cash aid programs for veterans. They include payments to low-income and disabled veterans, their surviving spouses and their dependent children. Congress appropriated $139 billion in 2022 for veteran financial aid programs.

Speaking of miracles.
Fani Willis needs one.


The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.

Trumps minions in Georgia have only delayed the inevitable.

Biden announces order limiting asylum at the southern border.

So little so late. Deport all 7.5 million, please. Somebody woke him up told him everyone is pissed off.

Congress bitches about Executive Orders yet demands one. Then they get one and bitch some more.
No one espouses bitching over the order. But it is important to note voters know Uncle Joe only cares about  election votes not the pain caused millions of Americans harmed by his negligence in keeping the country safe by turning his back on the porous southern border.

I guess that is why after months of negotiations and compromise Republicans killed a border bill that featured the lion share of their demands.


Have a seat.
LOL!
Biden and the democrats ruled the Government after the 2020 elections. Biden campaigned on fixing the border. Instead he gave away the  treasury in checks that he was warned would be inflationary.
The top issues now include inflation and the border.
He deserved the mess he created.

Through and post pandemic the nation had a choice inflationary spending or deep recession/depression. Biden made the right choice.

However inflation was exacerbated by the supply chain issues and because post pandemic people had money demand increased exponentially and outstripped supply. Of course that sent pricing and costs through the roof. Once supply caught up with demand prices remained artificially high as corporations raked in record profits.
As inflation has decreased dramatically, so too are prices falling back to a normal level. The market took care of it. Consumers got to the point where they just were not willing to pay the outrageous costs and corporations are reacting to the bottom line.

No one denies there was a huge nflux of migrants as folks did what most people do in crisis, seek refuge.
The CRISIS was amplified by the governors of Texas and Florida bussing and flying tens of thousands of innocent people to blue cities with no attempt to coordinate logistically with the destinations in an attempt to overwhelm them. media gladly obliged with sensational coverage while giving the asshole governors a pass.


Republicans do not give a shit about solving the obvious problems concerning immigration because they need the issue. Hence Trump ordering the death of the big partisan Senate bill championed by Lankford.

Not even a day after presenting the bill his fellow GOP legislators gave him the bastinado!
Just before the Senate voted Wednesday to kill the border deal he spent the last four months negotiating, Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford climbed a set of marble stairs outside the chamber and joined his wife in the visitors gallery.

NYC is finished, major stores closing everywhere, permanently.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods being stolen.
Blowtorch was used in one store to get at goods locked up.
Shoplifting rampant, basically just walk in and steal whatever you like in large bags, and walk right out.
Major chain stores have had enough.

Astute political commentary from a 6 year old.


Just like this one

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4987368/user-clip-giuliani-inauguration-03

The six year old is the most mature and well reasoned political thinker currently on the right. He may have Hannitys job by the end of the week.

Yeah. At first I thought that grandpa had brought his cute grandson to work but  Eewww
