Welcome to Amerika.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Any word yet on those SNAP funds being released?

General rule of thumb: When someone says something is "fake news," that doesn't mean they are denying that it is true.
November 13, 2025 at 2:29 PM
So, where's the rush to get those SNAP funds moving? Did I miss the announcement?

I'm sorry but this is funny. It's a warning that was issued in central Florida.

Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

So, 2 guys who don't have to even think about putting food on the table, or pay bills with no paychecks coming in, tell the rest of us to "just be patient"?
KILMEADE: So for now, be patient

DoorDash is our official tracking source now?
We are really ruled by the dumbest people in existence.

Republicans who signed the Epstein files discharge petition are going to withdraw their signatures, aren't they?
November 12, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Call me cynical, but I'm not convinced that, even with the swearing in of the representative from Arizona, that the House will release the Epstein files.

Just a quick reminder to all my friends out there who pay taxes - we are paying for the salaries and benefits of all those members of the House and Senate. Makes your heart all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?

So, if demand for homes were to increase thanks to 50-yr mortgages, wouldn't that cause prices to rise, thus canceling out any benefits of those 50-yr mortgages?

If I'm hungry chances are good that I won't hear anything you have to tell me until I have food in my stomach.

If I'm not being paid chances are good you're not going to get much work effort out of me.

Doesn't it warm your heart that our elected officials are so willing to accept our suffering so they can stand on their principles?

It's going to be interesting to see if the Republicans are really going to allow the ACA subsidies to lapse. I have a hard time believing they are really that stupid, but I'm often wrong.

Does anyone really think Mike Johnson is going to willingly allow any sort of vote on releasing the Epstein files even after he swears in that new representative?
