You do realize Trump has only been President for approx 5 of the last 17 years, right? All others were lifetime polls which got us into this mess. Has anybody ever retired with more money on a govt salary than Nancy?

$18T in committed foreign investments coupled with increased made in America needs to time to take hold. Can’t offset Biden’s historic 9% inflation rates overnight. Also, can’t dismiss tentative peace in the mid-east, secured border, stronger military/NATO. Congress has failed everyone.

Tariff revenue collected in 2025 $195B vs $77 collected in all 2024. The table you forwarded is from April??

Thank you for sharing. 👍

‘Tax the rich’, that’s why all eyes are on NYC. NYC is already experiencing an exodus. The top 5% earners pay 65% of the total federal income collected. Even taxing the ultra wealthy will not come close to balancing the budget. We have a spending problem.

We agree we need to improve healthcare and the rising costs. Time for Congress to do its job!!! Congress is in charge of the ‘purse strings’ and we’re $38T in the hole. The average American pays approx 50% in taxes (Fed, State, Local, etc). All eyes are on NYC. NY Gov rejected free bus ride over $

The clean CR passed with bipartisan support in the Senate and in the House. The ‘Schumer Shutdown’ is over until their next tantrum.🤦‍♂️ Any thoughts on who replaces Schumer? Bernie?

Then you know anybody, legal or illegal, can walk into an ER and receive service, right?

? This article is dated early April?? Not relevant. The markets are at all time highs. Seriously, best holiday wishes to you and your family.

Please read the history behind this tradition. Great story! Separately, much of the world would vigorously disagree that the birth of Christ is a ‘silly’ holiday. Happy Thanksgiving! (Belated in Canada).

Thus, where was the compromise? There was no serious input from the Reps on ACA.

Polls? Dewey wins. Dems used ‘pain’ as leverage to prevent the passage of a Clean CR! Not a good look. Dem party in complete turmoil. Congress must work on healthcare. The problem is who will lead the Dems., Socialism/Communism?

Check your 401K/IRA.
November 13, 2025 at 3:38 AM
False. Happy Thanksgiving.
November 13, 2025 at 3:36 AM
False. If that were the case the Reps simply could have used the dreaded ‘nuclear option’. They were able to convince 8 Dems to side with opening the govt, which by itself, is having meaningful discussions. ACA was passed without any meaningful input from the Reps.
November 12, 2025 at 4:43 AM
Explain why 8 Dems came over?
November 12, 2025 at 4:36 AM
Inflation is far below the 9% level under Biden. Biden handed Trump two major conflicts ( hopefully peace in the Mid-East holds). The open border policy is the root cause of today’s ICE actions. Separately, military enlistments are now hitting goals.

‘Fishing boats’? 😂 are you serious? They have even captured a sub fully loaded with cocaine. I guess you don’t value the over 100,000 folks who die from drugs each year. Fishing Boats. Lol.

For sure many things are too expensive- we are still coming off two historic inflation years (9%). However, gas prices/mortgage rates (egg prices) are noticeably down. One less war, hostages released, NATO members increasing their respective spending to 5% of GDP to contain Putin, war on drugs etc
November 12, 2025 at 3:39 AM
Cheaper than last year, as is gas, mortgage rates, etc. Most Americans are in the market which hit another high today. Still, much work to do on healthcare, crime and increasing private sector jobs! Take care.

Last week a judge tells Trump to fund the SNAP payments by finding the money ‘elsewhere’ to fund the Nov payment (Oct payments depleted the SNAP acct). In short, bypass Congress! Wait, now you want Trump to be a King? Just crazy.
November 12, 2025 at 3:08 AM
So you don’t believe in elections? Got it.
November 12, 2025 at 2:48 AM
Keeping the govt open is a math exercise. You need 60 votes to pass the Clean CR. Thus, you needed a handful of Dems to vote ‘yea’. Thus, this recent passage was a bipartisan effort. Are the Dems now blaming the Reps for actually opening the Govt??? Happy Thanksgiving.
