also, why would anyone read that report and think "i better get on the website and rub this in!" that mindset might be the reason some people feel the way they do about the hill.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 'Nearly a quarter of young Americans believe the Holocaust didn’t happen or has been exaggerated.'
'Survey shows stunning lack of knowledge among Americans aged 18 to 39, with some believing in conspiracy theories shared on social media.'
On a side note, Neil Armstrong was an elastic toy with a nickname of "Stretch.' Not a real person that actually did anything.

Since we are talking immigration, Obama deported 480,000 in 2012 alone. How many deportations were blocked by federal judges? Did they all receive due process? Of course not. All this federal judges BS is reserved for Trump. How democratic is that? Protecting gang criminals!!!! What is wrong with you people????

Nothing wrong with immigration. But—as was famously said—you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.
Milton Friedman
Cato Institute is libertarian. Their slogan is basically ‘build a wall around the welfare state, not around the nation.’
I think most people with a lick of common sense understand the two can’t co-exist without restrictions. So—as a liberal—you either have to give up your big government spending, or open immigration.
You choose.

Stop acting like you’re the only one who knows anything. What I said rings true. They could never envision Biden’s invasion of 20 million migrants. They didn’t have drug smugglers, paid human traffickers, and violent criminals coming across the borders (which were much smaller then). Times were totally different then. Even though they had open borders and encouraged immigration, they were concerned about the non-contributing immigrants being worthy of becoming Americans. The immigrants back then weren’t blood suckers looking for a handout and toting flags of the country from which they seek asylum. You’re the one who needs to read and use common sense. Here’s an excerpt of Washington’s and Madison’s opinions:
RELATED: The Trouble with the ‘Nation of Immigrants’ Argument
No, not because “diversity” is our greatest value. No, not because Big Business needed cheap labor. And no, Madison asserted, “Not merely to swell the catalogue of people. No, sir, it is to increase the wealth and strength of the community; and those who acquire the rights of citizenship, without adding to the strength or wealth of the community are not the people we are in want of.”
Madison argued plainly that America should welcome the immigrant who could assimilate, but exclude the immigrant who could not readily “incorporate himself into our society.”
George Washington, in a letter to John Adams, similarly emphasized that immigrants should be absorbed into American life so that, “by an intermixture with our people, they, or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures, laws: in a word soon become one people.”
#share#Alexander Hamilton, relevant as ever today, wrote in 1802: “The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education, and family.”

Still curious why and include myself in this statement. Why do we debate those with a disdain for reality to push their own disdain for those who don't agree that they hold the morale high ground. You folks and me, at times, would be better off facing the wind to urinate. Carry on with debating the faux superior because my colleagues at the colleges made them what they are and they will not and cannot change.

Again....the PPP loans were for anyone with 500 or less employees that met the qualifications....And I believe hotels with over 500 could qualify.
EVEN PEOPLE WITH THE LAST NAME OF TRUMP

Have no idea, you brought it up, you explain it.
Not doing your research, and I find it funny that you are complaining about someone taking money from the government they didn’t deserve.

There were several sources I could have copy/pasted from. I picked the communist news network so that it wouldn’t be questioned. It’s the liberal’s life blood for info.

Something I found to educate those that think they know it all and call themselves Christians. This is from the Old Testament Book of Deuteronomy. How erroneous is this?
The concept of the Jewish people as God's chosen people is most explicitly stated in Deuteronomy 7:6 and Deuteronomy 14:2. Deuteronomy 7:6 says, "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession." Similarly, Deuteronomy 14:2 states, "For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people of his own possession, out of all the nations that are on the face of the earth."
In addition to these verses, other passages in the Hebrew Bible, such as Genesis 17:1 and Genesis 12:2-3, also allude to the special status of the Israelites as God's chosen people and his special relationship with them.

The younger people who are contributing into a 401K or similar are getting a MUCH better bang for their buck right now vs. the greatly overpriced market they were buying into a year or so ago. People don't understand stocks are "on sale" now instead of being "overpriced".
My best investing ever happened during the Covid crash. I made a ton of money then.
