  • “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.

    Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you’ve oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.

    On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."

    I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won’t touch the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys.”






  • Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

    Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

    Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

    Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

    The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

    Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

    Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

    People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.


  • I really don’t like that the sources on this article are missing.

    Sure, that’s a lot of money for the wealthy who control 93% of stock, but it’s also tens of millions of Americans who will have a more comfortable and secure retirement. In fact, the number of Americans who have over $1 million in their retirement accounts grew by 20% in the last quarter of 2023.

    Fine and dandy, except that half of Americans don’t have a retirement account. Or 47% of Americans.

    So while retirement indexes are up, 1:2 people are not going to see that.

    Inflation eased slightly in April — the first time this year that has happened. Overall inflation edged down to 3.4% and slipped to 3.6% when you exclude food and energy costs. (food expected to rise by an additional 2.2%)

    Good to see the brakes are working. But just remember that not everyone goes out to by a car or house on a twice-a-week basis. But everyone does with the grocery store. Which in Biden’s defense, he has started trying to pull back.

    Though effort =/= job done.




  • If you go back in history more then Oct 7. You’ll find a lot of questions… like…

    • That 4 billion we sent to Israel… that was supposed to go to defense from attacks such as this… where did it go?

    • Why were the guards not even in armor before Hamas descended on them, even though there was an early warning?

    • How did a government that was warned of the attack a month before it happened decide to do nothing about it?

    • Why is Israel’s tactics not reflecting a hostage situation and more of a scorched-earth policy?

    • Why did Israel shoot their own hostages that were waving White flags?

    It’s not Israel’s pursuit of justice that disgusts people, it’s Israel’s deplorable tactics that is embarrassing both the US and Israel. Only Israel… doesn’t seemed to ashamed of them… While the US is burning global goodwill by the megaton.

    So yes, both sides.





  • they can consent to share their contact information “which the (Department of Health and Human Services) Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources.”

    The bill doesn’t explain how this collected data would be handled or who would have access to it. Critics said that vagueness poses concerns for pregnant women’s privacy.

    That is right, but also wrong.

    A. Just because giving data is consensual, does not mean it can’t/won’t be used against you. “Anything you say or said will be used against you in a court of law”

    B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?

    This is a trap being masqueraded as helpful for women that are pregnant, when this is the same trap as “Life clinics” faking being abortion clinics.
