    Prayers and thoughts go out to Texas.  FEMA is still in place for the time being is that correct?  

    My concern is I believe the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf Coast have the potential to be very active.  What will happen to those who may loose everything do to a major storm?  There is nothing in the bill to address those concerns.

    Thank you. Right now they need rescue equipment and personnel. The Guadalupe river rose 30’ in under 1 hour and it is still raining. Moving slowly over Austin area which is still “hill country” and known for flash flooding. Need boats and helicopters…..and more prayers.

    These devil judges are pure evil.  They know there will never be 67 Senators to vote remove.  Pure mental illness to think this way.  

    This is the hidden content, please

    I hope the hurry appointments before Biden left office were done with “autopen” and become null and void. What a wonderful day that would be.

    No offense, but needing the VP to tie break the Senate’s 50-50 deadlock isn’t a mandate. 
     

    My opinion? No new tax breaks and let the 2017 breaks expire- and cut where we can- but it’s going to hurt. The old “I paid it in-it’s mine” mindset is tired and played out. I had really hoped that my generation (X) would be the ones capable of making the selfless decisions that boomers couldn’t make. 
     

    At some point we’re not going to be able to kick the can any further down the road. Social Security runs out of funding in 2033… is that when we finally decide to make the hard decisions? Our way of life isn’t sustainable. Why are we cutting taxes on rich people?

    I paid it in for those ahead of me. The government is the best for distribution, since they are already so far up our keisters, monitoring our bank accounts and what we purchase. Thanks to those hard workers behind me helping me through what remains of my time here on earth. It really works well if there is no fraud and abuse.

    There is a bunch of conflicting information about this bill…..I don’t give the CBO much credit due to their track record, and the Democrats won’t even give Trump credit for securing the border, so no one should be surprised they are spewing negativities about this bill…..

    As for cutting spending….where? The military? The border? Look at what Trump tried with Doge. Doge was going to cut waste, fraud and abuse.  That’s seems like a common sense place to start…BUT… ..Democrats and YOU found fault in that. You criticized them for every thing.

    so, politicians are going to politician…..Trump is using his mandate to do what he campaigned on….like I’ve said before, if he is successful, Vance 2028, if not, maybe a Democrat if ya’ll can find someone half normal.

     

    Jeffries is a good example. He will always be known for his long speeches that achieved absolutely nothing, while also exposing the fact that he, nor any other democrats, have a solution or even so much as a whim. He never has anything positive to say. With that last comment, you’re setting the bar pretty high.

    They don't graduate from college, they should pick up a trade 

    True illiteracy would likely make college completion impossible. Students with significant reading and writing challenges, even if they're not completely illiterate, may face substantial difficulties and could be at risk of failing or dropping out. 

    I research for you and you are never satisfied. You ask questions you don’t want answered. You just like to argue.

    Name some illiterate recent college graduates. I think you are jealous of the educated

    I think you meant to say envious, to which the answer is no. My post is over a month old. Illiteracy does not necessarily mean one can’t read and write. Check this out.

    While the term "illiterate" in this context is often used hyperbolically, studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that a significant number of college graduates struggle with literacy skills, including reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking. This doesn't necessarily mean they are completely unable to read or write, but rather that their skills may not be at a proficient level for college-level work or real-world applications. 
     
    Here's a more detailed explanation: 
    • Falling Proficiency Levels:
      Studies indicate that a substantial percentage of college students, even those graduating, do not meet proficient levels in literacy assessments. 
       
    • Basic Skills Only:
      Many graduates may possess only basic literacy skills, struggling with complex texts, nuanced arguments, or in-depth analysis. 
       
    • Consequences of Low Literacy:
      This lack of proficiency can affect academic performance, career prospects, and the ability to engage with complex societal issues. 
       
    • Factors Contributing to the Issue:
      A combination of factors, including inadequate high school preparation, evolving learning styles, and reliance on technology, may contribute to these challenges. 
       
    • Civic Literacy:
      Beyond basic literacy, there are concerns about civic literacy, with surveys revealing a concerning lack of knowledge about American history and government among college students. 
       
    • Examples:
      Some reports highlight students who graduated despite having significant gaps in their reading and writing abilities, even struggling with basic comprehension. 
       
    • Impact on Society:
      This situation raises concerns about the quality of higher education and the preparedness of graduates to contribute effectively to society.
