Couldn’t the argument be made that these checks, if they occur, would be from actual revenue generated ( by the tariffs, we’ve already seen the first monthly surplus), as opposed to just printing money out of whole cloth like what was done during Covid?
Yea, a) don't see how this helps the debt that's the problem we pay too much interest on, and b) since the economy is growing so well, why pump more money into it? Like covid spending to me.

I’m probably in the minority here but I think gerrymandering is wrong regardless of which side does it. If there is a legit reason to alter a district, fine. If it’s altering for the sake of one party or the other, no bueno.
True, but unfortuantely you have to fight the fire on this with more fire. Dims wouldn't being close to even on House seats w/o it in their states plus the Census count cheating.

Sure. The origin of the money isn't really in doubt.

The FED is keeping rates high to try and contract the money supply in order to control inflation. If they lower rates banks will lend and the money supply will balloon again. I don't like the FED, but I understand the strategy. This appears to be an end run to get around that strategy.

My question is has the the supply chain recovered enough to handle a large influx of capital, because if it hasn't it will lead to further inflation. I don't know the answer to that question.

Either way there are better ways to use the money. A nonrefundable tax credit would be better than this.
Good points. Those checks will help keep interest rates up.

True justice would be a bullet to the head (assuming he’s found guilty) and an air-drop into the middle of the Everglades for the gators to eat. Unfortunately we’ll probably be spending tax payer money to keep him around a while.

Any leftists want to try and defend this or any of the thousands of other crimes that were 100% avoidable if had just enforced immigration laws over the past decade?

Reverse the order. Air drop... then the bullet a couple minutes later.

The fact is the leftists won't denounce it. They never have and never will. Just like you never see any leftists' comments against the white people being assaulted in Cincy. Whenever I see a post online about a white person, whether elderly or fit, being violently assaulted by a gang of people, there are never any comments by leftists saying its wrong. It was the same during the looting and destruction we've seen.

They are sick people that can't be trusted and hate life. They'll only defend other sick *****.

They reacted immediately to the moron. The retail stores for housing were selling off as soon as he released that moronic ruling.

He and those he answers to made a ton off of it, too. You know they did. Insider trading basically. He doesn't care what happens. Fired or not, he's made his money and will be hired somewhere else.

"A city councilwoman in Cincinnati is under fire for comments posted on Facebook in the wake of a brutal downtown beatdown last weekend.

Under a post from a Facebook user called Leohna Alia La JCannon that shows the vicious assault, an account that appears to belong to Councilwoman Victoria Parks commented, "They begged for that beat down!"

"I am grateful for the whole story," the comment continues. "

If she's reelected this Fall, it shows where the residents of Cincy stand.

"Yes, the Europeans annoy me sometimes. Yes, I disagree with them on certain issues. But you have to remember that is the Cradle of Western Civilization. The entire idea of Christian civilization that led to the founding of the US, that was formed in Europe. Europe is at risk of engaging in Civilizational Suicide.

They are unwilling to control their borders. You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens, even as those citizens are protesting against things like the border invasion.

"I want Europe to thrive, I want them to be an important ally.”


The Europeans exchanged despots for despots. It's cyclical. Jefferson and the lot tried to prevent that here with a new republic. It only works if people aren't stupid and if they stay vigilant. We got lazy and let the govt get abusive. We're still not out of the woods yet...

Good Lord liberals are freaking nuts lol. What's funny to me is theres probably a pretty good chance Sweeney is liberal (she's literally in Hollywood) ...and they still attack her like that. Hopefully she doesn't come out and apologize or something stupid.



Everyone has genes. They're not good or bad. They're just genes. Someone can say about themselves, "I have good genes," and the people listening should be confident enough to say, "Cool, so do I!"

If they aren't confident enough to say that out loud, THAT is what counseling, therapy, and self-help books are for.

If you hear someone say something positive about themselves and somehow it becomes about YOU, then YOU need HELP. AND IF THAT HELP tells you that it's NOT a "YOU" problem, you need to find better help.

This happened outside a downtown bar that just closed at 3a. The festival had been over for hours that night. Who knows if any of those involved had been at the festival earlier. But not directly related as headline claims.
Not only that, but he most certainly didn't get a "400 dollar bond" for charges relating to this incident. The bond was astronomical. The "400 dollar bond" was previously set for unrelated charges. In other words, this tweet is crap.

Village idiot. I am in the industry and see it daily. I’m not getting my news off searched links, I’m in the trenches. Any home owner will have seen the insurance cost rising for the past 5 years, this just didn’t happen. Do you try to be an idiot or does it come naturally?

At least I wasn't dumb enough to believe your idiot was going to lower prices like all the idiots did that voted for your idiot.

There is very little inflation to justify the high rates. They waited too long to raise rates and now they are waiting to long to lower them.

So why did you wait 3 months to bring your subject up? Try to be more timely in the future.
This is timely. When are all the prices dropping like MAGA said they would once Orange man became President?? What a joke.

People hear about the billions come in but its just an abstract number that means nothing. A check will make it real too them.

Saw Cincinnati news describe a series of crimes where vandals set fire to pride flags while yelling homophobic slurs all recorded on ring cameras.

Assuming its true, lets guess which crime the police there will be charged with as being more of a priority?

Again, assuming its true. Im always suspicious of acts like this because no one really cares enough to do this and the handful of people that do typically dont narrate their own demise in the act by speaking slurs into the ring doorbell.

I cringe every time I see Marc Lamont Hill. He has to be one of the most hateful racists in media. Isn't he a professor somewhere? He knows that if the racism thing goes away he'll be out of a job and people will lose interest in him. He keeps it going. Evil bastard.

This may be the stupidest reporting I have ever seen. The dumbass store owners blatantly admit their parts are coming from Asian countries.
