General Discussion / Re: Fan Mail Friday (5-5-24)

It's interesting how different our approaches are regarding when we consider ourselves adults. Some make the assessment based on when they took on adult responsibility. Others when they reassessed life after a tragedy. I was thinking along the lines of when you stop being interested in doing fun or silly things like you did as a kid. Like climbing trees. Or playing games. Or having a pillow fight.

I had to grow up earlier than I wanted to because I had to take care of my dying husband in our early 20s. Many years before hospice became a thing. He finally succumbed to cancer at 23. I've taken care of 3 dying family members over the years. As y'all know, it's physically and emotionally grueling, so I always dreamed of fun ways to counterbalance that responsibility. If I had a decent climbing tree, I'd go out and climb it right now. But not before I queued up 911 on my cell. The old gray mare....

Netanyahu is correct. I have been watching this with ever increasing amounts of alarm.

Each child brought into this country costs $15,000 a year for public education on average all by itself. A family with three children costs taxpayers $45,000 a year. And that's just costs from education. That doesn't include healthcare, law enforcement, subsidies etc.

They don't begin to put a dent in the costs with the taxes they pay.

And they tend to occupy low skilled occupations which are not high paying professional jobs

@Right_in_Virginia back in 2006 the Secure Fence Act was indeed passed by both Houses and signed into law.  Funding obviously has been the problem.

So, Trump isn't the first candidate to come up with the idea of needing to secure the border and mass deportation.  Cruz addressed that long before Trump.

Trump WAS elected on his campaign and promise of securing the border and building the wall.  He FAILED.  The majority of the wall that was erected under him was mostly repairing existing wall that was built years ago.

You can throw all kinds of stats and charts around, but plain and simple, Trump did NOT complete nor erect the wall.  The wall was started long before he took office.  I used to donate to a group that had cameras on the progress of the wall, and for $$ you could have a portion of the wall built and an American flag put in place.  No the wall wasn't completed, but the point is, Trump is NOT the first one to come up with building a wall, nor securing the border.

Groups such as Numbers USA and Federation for American Immigration Reform have been working on this for years.

It has been a political boomerang between the party for years. 

Trump waited till the last minute to ask for funding.  Of course we all know that the new DEM Congress was just about to be sworn in when he asked.  He FAILED.

Stop trying to convince us that building the wall was his idea.  It was started long before; so much so, that the majority of the $$ that he did get was used was to replace or reinforce wall that was already there.

Next.

Current PA law regarding the practice of veterinary medicine.

That law doesn't include any language about ultrasound.

??? I question your logic. #1) There is a way to come legally into the U.S.  #2) Those crossing for the most part aren't here to make a better life for themselves, they want to destroy us, take us over, and have no intention of assimilating.

I

The US  does an incredible job of assimilating immigrants.  Studies show 2nd generation immigrants have education levels at the native born rate and college levels just a few points below whites

They are not coming here to destroy us but they have no future in their own countries

Europe on the other hand has never assimilated their immigrants. They push them I to no go zones and give them zero chance to succeed.

Talk with any business owner who has hired Hispanics. They are the hardest working people on the planet

The people from China are escaping a bad and worsening co dictionary. age 30 and younger have 45-50 percent unemployment and Chinas economy is crashing

Have there been terrorists and bad criminal coming across. You bet but most just want a better life

In a nutshell, yes.

Each child brought into this country costs $15,000 a year for public education on average all by itself. A family with three children costs taxpayers $45,000 a year. And that's just costs from education. That doesn't include healthcare, law enforcement, subsidies etc.

They don't begin to put a dent in the costs with the taxes they pay.

I recognized Trump wasn't a great POTUS before DeSantis even ran.

Primary voters choosing to nominate Trump rather than DeSantis has nothing to do with whether or not we approve of Trump's actions and the direction in which he wants to take the country.   They are unrelated issues.

Trump was a “meh” president. We did become a net exporter of oil for the first time in several decades under his watch that, btw, is continuing today

But his economy was not that much different from BHO’s. Employment was up but GDP wasn’t that impressive

He and his supporters would have you believe that he inherited an economy in an economic Depression and took us to historic economic mastery in his short time. lol…..no

In fact, the economy was showing signs of trouble pre pandemic

What’s worse is many of the ideas he’s floating now.

Of course, he reminds you he used to be an astronaut. Really, can't Arizona do better than this? He's an  annoying gun-grabber who also has a big exploitation streak - first it was his wife being shot by that kook, now he's trying to use abortion to get rid of the filibuster "this time only". Uh-huh,  camel, nose, tent.
