Just Florida received 600,00 Canucks for visits.

My Parents lived in Ft. Lauderdale in a complex that was about 1/3 Canucks !

So in the summer it was very uncrowded, especially the outdoor pool. My boys would the pool on visits with no complaints in the summer. Winters the pool was crowded with old ladies bobbing up and down, and kids in the pool would draw complaints.

Positions that Dems support going into the next election…

- open borders - let’s take our chances
- higher taxes - the govt knows how to handle your money better than you do
- mentally ill men getting access to any and every place that they want to go, particularly women’s spaces - again, let’s take our chances nothing bad will happen, even though those terrible things have already happened

I'm supposed to fly to California for my niece's wedding on Thursday and home on Sunday. Today is the first day the air traffic controllers are missing a full paycheck.

The finger pointing on the shutdown is going to go into high gear soon. From my perspective, the Dems are trying to violate constitutional legislative process by holding the country hostage to pass legislation with a shutdown, not an elected majority. I doubt the NY Times or WAPO will hold them accountable, it will be the Republicans fault.

I hope my air traffic controllers are on the job this weekend but I wouldn't blame them if they call in sick.

I'm embarrassed this guy represents AZ. His talking point is he only wants 24 million Americans not to have their insurance premiums raised. The CNBC host points out that the Dems are asking for $1.5 trillion, but Gallego just wants to protect 24 million Americans. Shutting down the govt, putting people at risk in air travel, cutting off food stamps, etc. The Dems are playing a dangerous game trying to end run the constitutional legislative system. We need to elect bigger Republican majorities in 2026.

Them not being able to acknowledge the obvious makes it tough to trust them on any other topics. You can't lead if you can't clear the lowest bar. Common sense is still dead on the left.
And look at the government shut down. They want to negotiate despite the Republicans being willing to negotiate after the clean CR is passed. They are literally willing to let poor people (the very people they supposedly represent) go without food just so they can try to get the Republicans to budge on money for illegals, despite the BBB just recently being passed in House and Senate, which the Democrats helped pass. They want some of that bill stripped. F em. Truly disgusting people destroying America. Chuck Schumer has been in Washington DC since the 1970’s. Total loser. Both he and Jeffries are from The Bronx. How in the hell does a party wind up with minority leadership from the same city in both chambers. It’s dumb. The Democratic Party needs to fall apart.

Boy, our pompous little bartender who went from hot to getting fat fast is demeaning a 5th place finish in the NCAA finals which is pretty darn outstanding. She only likes the "right" women - meaning ugly leftists and men pretending to be women year - around, not just for Halloween.
5th place in swimming in NCAA D1 finals is outstanding for sure. I respect Riley Gaines so much. Very strong. I’m sure her parents are very proud. They raised a leader.

So…recent polling data suggested more Americans were blaming Republicans for the shutdown more than Democrats, yet CNN says support for Republicans is up 5%. Crazy stuff.

Suicidal empathy. Some of these women are going to be like the German I posted who was sexually assaulted by muslims from a different country, but she lied about the culprits to the police. This is a mental disease. It must stop.

I'm going to wait until (Propaganda) Minister Jeff informs reality.
