I did my research. It was a baited question and I didn’t bite. I knew about the bill. At least I can converse with you without referring to Massie as your savior. I know better than to make that reference. It’s all good.

It’s not bait, you’re being a little disingenuous by saying he voted against the border wall bill. There was a whole lot of nonsense in that bill money wise. Keep in mind we are almost 40 trillion in debt. Let’s give it a little context why don’t we. Here’s what Grok has to say about it which is pretty accurate. Yes, in a sense, but it’s nuanced. Thomas Massie voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025, a major spending package that included border security and immigration funding often tied to border wall efforts. He was one of only two Republicans to vote no, mainly because he opposed the bill’s massive impact on the national debt, which he said would fuel inflation and higher interest rates—not because he opposes a border wall itself. Massie has backed border wall funding before, like over $5 billion in 2019 through regular appropriations and co-sponsoring a 2023 bill for $15 billion more. But he’s consistently pushed back on executive overreach, like Trump’s 2019 national emergency declaration to redirect funds, arguing Congress should control spending. Trump and critics have hammered him for voting against the border wall because of that big bill, but his record shows he’s supported physical barriers when the process follows Congress’s constitutional role. It’s more about fiscal hawkishness and separation of powers than being anti-wall.

I got West Virginia winning the Jello Shot Challenge.

Pulling for them only. I don't bet baseball.
-
So Massie voted against a stand alone Border Wall Bill?
-
What honorable person would have a knife at a high school track meet?!
-
Massie is not the only one who believes otherwise. It’s already been settled. Massie just wants to fan flames. He voted against the border wall, so I don’t care to hear anything he has to say. It’s an opinion piece. He’ll spew his sour grapes till he leaves.
-
If you listen to the speech it wasn’t a mistake according to Massie and I am talking about our supposed ally Israel. The survivors are on the chamber floor supporting what he is saying.
-
Watch and listen to what? This was an awful mistake that happened almost 60 years ago. I don’t believe it has any bearing on our involvement in Iran.
-
Watch and listen. Just thought it was interesting considering Israel drug us into this war.
-
Are you putting money on them?
-
Wow…. I’ve never heard about this attack on our military till today, of course it happened 4 months before I was born in 1967. The attack on the USS Liberty was done by Israel intentionally from what Massie is saying on the floor of Congress.
-
What would you call this? Looks like the Big Beautiful Bill is working. And it's only going to get better!

That's a good question. We will have to wait and see.
-
The question becomes, if Trump does not get a majority in both houses or looses one or both by a few seats, which side is blamed for 2 years of nothing ? Does that help Vance/Rubio in 2028 ?

Late spring early summer right?

Recently, he has been releasing many fraudsters who pay to play, as pardons generate significant revenue for the Trump family. The list continues to grow.

I've followed this as much as I can from multiple platforms. Currently waiting to see what happens after lunch. There is thoughts that Karmelo may testify. Based on the defenses witnesses and how they had to backtrack when cross examined, I don't see how he explains it was not murder, and why he happened to have a knife with him.

Beaumont got some problems.....gezzzz

And unfortunately the woman has died from her injuries.

I see it getting overturned by a higher court. I think NCAA knew that a local judge would side with the local university.
