You missed the falling below and beating economist expectations

Next to the last paragraph..... The bill goes to the Senate, where it is expected to die, although it may help Republicans lay groundwork to work on a potential bipartisan solution to tame health insurance premiums, while dealing with the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse that comes with enhanced subsidies. Another thing is the Senate has enough Republicans that are lock step with Trump and do not have enough votes to override any VETO Trump may do.....

I do to, and apparently she didn't have someone that could help her from being stupid. When my Son was less than 2 years old, I was invited to race a car on a dirt track in the bomber class off Hwy 90. I invited family and friends because I was so excited. I came in second to qualify and ended up 8th overall in the Novice division and even won $150.00..... Being super excited and having an absolute blast, after the race I told my Father I wanted to start racing, and eventually move to the modified class. He took me off to the side and told me I had a kid to raise, and I should not get into any hobby that could leave me crimple or dead......I took raising my Son serious and never gave racing a second thought. Moral of story, I think I've read she had 3 kids.....now orphans because of a stupid decision she made, and with just a tiny bit of thought, she could have came to the conclusion it may end in death or a minimum jail.....

Yea - I think she was fleeing versus attempting to run over the agent - BUT, how would he know?.....He was also the same agent back in June that was dragged by a protestors car and needed to he hospitalized......His alert level was probably way up there.....

That is what it looked like to me. I remember you explaining that it is from the cops perspective and if it warranted deadly force. The people that said she turned her wheel and didn't mean to hit him.......after looking at 5 different angles from 5 different videos....He roughly had 2 seconds to make a choice

I agree with you - lots of moving parts right now.

The left and anyone anti-ICE

When a protestor would challenge ICE and get met with lethal force...... From a 22 year DOJ Prosecutor: "As soon as she accelerated with the officer in front of her, she committed the 20 year version of Sec. 111(b) offense. At that moment she became a "fleeing felon" and a deadly or dangerous threat to the community that justified the use of deadly force. The case law in favor of the officer is robust and rock solid."

and just like that, Drug Logistics experts came out of the woodwork to resolve our nations 100 year drug problem.....

I'll jump in with some polling facts - I use real clear politics because it is an average of many different polls and not partisan to one affiliation. As of Jan 6th, on the last three Presidents second term approval rating TRUMP - 43.9 BUSH - 43.6 OBAMA - 42.4 Looks to me like he has a better approval rating than 2 other popular Presidents......

Have you changed your opinion of X? It looks like this fraud story has grown legs......we may be talking upwards of 9 billion in fraud from the 22nd largest populated State....... Another confirmation that DOGE was and is needed.

Don’t need Congress approval to pick up a fugitive indicted in the United States.

Not a murder yet…but a triple shooting is not the hope I was wishing for 2026…. Happy New Year🙄 [Hidden Content]

Beaumont had a bad 2025…between murders and school district, not a very inviting place to raise a family….. Let’s hope 2026 is MUCH better [Hidden Content]

You fact check was written Nov 10th….before the topic posted…

I do believe that is going to come to a head pretty soon. If, and big if, Republicans can keep house and senate, the last 2 years are going to be something......

1. Not Proven 2. Legal experts say it was a novel prosecution and will be overturned on appeal. Please stay on this board long enough to have a Democratic President and administration. I'm predicting that when that happens, they will not go after trump for anything Epstein.

It took me a minute to read the link. My thoughts - Google "Michael Wolfe lies on Trump" - his book is full of lies about the admin, and not just from trump, but several in his administration. One look at Hugh Dougherty's X page =, plus the articles written on The Daily Beast will tell you they are a very left leaning media group. So their claims and opinions I don't hold stock in or read. I'll continue to refer you to the Previous DOJ who had 3 years to bring charges up against Trump and did not. That is a much more powerful conclusion than a couple media hacks trying to make a dime.

Two points - I agree with you that I need to be fair all the way around. I have messaged others privately for warnings and chose to call you out publicly. That is not a good look on me and I apologize to you and everyone. I need to make sure I don't give the appearance of being one sided or biased, because I do want to be fair across the board. Now the other point about Trump's lies. Politicians lie all the time or stretch the truth, Obama and Clinton have some of the most famous lies......"I did not have sex with that woman" and "if you like your doctor, you can keep them". Administrations also lie, set up incoming Presidents and have used lawfare to make political wins. I'm not going to fault anyone on their political beliefs, but I will call out facts. Example, off topic, but relevant to my point. You want all the Epstein files released and you think Trump is hiding something, when their is zero evidence he is. The "victims" have even said they never seen Trump act inappropriate with anyone.....along with a victims attorney Brad Edwards who stated Trump had been helpful in their civil case. So you are free to believe he is some how guilty of something, but there has not been any evidence he is. So, apologies on the call out - I will do better!

I just don’t understand why anti-Trumpers on the fraud investigations just don’t say, “Good, if there is fraud going on it should be found and fixed, and those responsible go to jail.” I can only go on what I have witnessed, and I remember folks selling foodstamps for 50 cents on the dollar…..they have cards now, and I can think of several ways to turn that balance on the card to cash…. So, I personally think there is fraud in every government handout, and even if it is a small percent, investigating and fixing the problem will reroute that money to someone who actually needs it.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were speaking in general terms and not directing that to someone personal. It would far serve this forum for you to debate the facts. We all can agree to disagree.

[Hidden Content] The files include new photos of former President Bill Clinton and Epstein More than a dozen politically exposed people and government officials' names appear in the hundreds of thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein files made public Friday, sources said. @DCT - I'm sure you have started reading the "hundred or thousands" of pages released today - by the time you are finished, the rest of the documents should be released.

Negativity as expected - Merry Christmas by the way -

Nothing but political theater.......They can only try to win Academy awards with their outrage....lol Who enforces the DOJ? Remember Eric Holder - Held in criminal contempt in 2012 for failure to release documents related to the fast and furious scandal..... Remember what happened? NOTHING.....lol Most people have moved on -
