Meh. Rubio is kind of old for me.

Won't matter. Air traffic will drop soon as Trump plunges the economy into a tailspin.
And leftist are bitching about it. The Senate dems have actually been saying that Trump has to spend the money congress budgets. Confirmation hearings and dems are worried "if confirmed" that people will save tax payer money... LOL.
Hey HMT, do you happen to have an article that mentioned they intentionally kept the staff at 3000 short instead of 2000? I believe you, Id just like to read more about it. I keep getting articles that simply mention that the FAA is 3000 short overall.
True. Hard to walk for long some days
There may be some "short term pain" for some, but we were marching down a path where there was going to be SIGNIFICANT long term pain if Trump didn't course correct this country.
Trump is going to reverse a lot of this nonsense, but it has to happen or we're finished.
- On trade, we have run a $18T trade deficit on merchandise since the 90s. This deficit was used to finance our debt btw, making it worse. It was not sustainable and it built up our enemies and rivals like China.
- On immigration, despite what some of you honkies say, we never had a labor shortage in this country. We had businesses that want to make a buck and don't want to pay workers. If your business model doesn't work unless you need low-paid immigrants or cheap foreign labor, perhaps you need a new model.
- On society, shit like drug use, gambling, porn all matter. You can't have a successful society where all these are at the ready.

Advancing so fast I can’t process it fast enough.
This sure doesn't help a bad situation.
Air traffic controllers were initially offered buyouts and told to consider leaving government
Just a day before a deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D
So far in his early 2nd term as president, there are two factual times that Trump THREATENED tariffs as a negotiating tactic.. and it worked. He got what he wanted, and didn't have to impose the tariffs to Canada or Columbia in these two specific examples.
We have no idea if these tariffs will hold and for how long. Id be very surprised if these aren't revoked in due time once a negotiation is in place.
If he truly impose dozens upon dozens of tariffs and it nukes our economy, kills industries, etc.. I will be right there with you.. annoyed and probably voting for a dem candidate in the next election. (Or at least, i wouldnt be voting Trump again, if he could run).. but can we at least let him work for a bit before flying off the rails? You guys said all the gays were gonna get locked up during his first term and nothing happened. You can't keep crying wolf.
Drug use will rise as people are laid off from their jobs in Trump's crappy economy.

That's not what I asked for.
Big Gretch is going to have to figure out how to make this not hurt her state. Only Texas is in the top 3 in trade to Canada. If Canada tries to hurt Texas it would crush their own oil and gas industry. Trudeau is too stupid to get into this fight. He's going to cost Canada a ton of pain.
The U.S. state with the most trade with Canada, in terms of total merchandise trade (exports plus imports), is Michigan. This is due to Michigan's proximity to Canada, the integration of the automotive industry across the border, and the volume of goods exchanged.
Michigan - Known for its automotive industry, Michigan exports a vast amount of transportation equipment, motor vehicles, and parts to Canada.- Texas - Exports from Texas to Canada include petroleum and coal products, chemicals, and machinery, leveraging its energy sector and manufacturing capabilities.
- Illinois - Illinois exports machinery, agricultural products, and transportation equipment to Canada, benefiting from its strategic location and diverse industrial base.
PP is Canadas future. He has to be.
How can anybody be opposed to this? Could they possibly hate Orangeman enough to stop loving their country?
Apparently she's spent the last 2 years at the Biden WH. Her family didn't want her name leaked so they had time to wipe her social media history. No facebook, twitter or insta post left.
She's still in the military. Learn to read.
More so Kelly Craft but Comer was there with them. Cal is more politician and used car salesman than coach.

I think 86% of Monticello receives some form of government assistance.
I consider myself belonging more with the island of misfit toys. What I want from government is a government that protects its most vulnerable, but doesn't stymie the most ambitious and those that are willing to take chances.
To answer your other thing about why "I" cannot help Monticello. That's a good question. Probably a lack of ambition on my end. There's potential there, but being so far away from the Interstate hurts.
So you value competence and merit to forced DEI or virtue signaling. That is good to hear.
As for para.2....
Correlation is not causation.
Yep. Hell, we even wrote it all down in project 2025. It's online. They can read it.
Most people don't realize how much Canada already tariffs our stuff. NAFTA doesn't mean free trade for Canada or Mexico... only us.
- Dairy Products: Canada maintains high tariffs on U.S. dairy products, with rates often exceeding 200% for certain items under its supply management system.
- Poultry: Tariffs on poultry can be as high as 289%.
- Softwood Lumber: Historically, there have been disputes over softwood lumber, with Canada applying countervailing and anti-dumping duties in response to U.S. actions, leading to tariffs that can range significantly depending on the specific case.
- Steel and Aluminum: Following U.S. tariffs, Canada's retaliatory measures included tariffs on these metals, though these were eventually resolved through negotiations.
Commercial America hasn’t caught up to the fact that freaks like her aren’t mainstream. Young adults are trending away from this craziness, and it’s not hard to see why.
And here I was thinking Rome collapsed due to constant war, loss of morals, corrupt politicians and loss of national pride... But i'm sure it was just that they quit bringing in immigrants. LOL.
Not being MAGA, I'm baffled by the claims China has any control over the Canal with no military presence there.
I love the naivety of some people that think most immigrants are just like the immigrants they know. None of them have any ill will toward the US or are just using us for $$. LOL.

Not who you asked but you can try this article I posted a few days ago.
The only ppl laid off will be federal workers who have no job skills. Time to learn to code. Not to mention companies gonna have to pay ppl wages since their under the table wages to illegals is gone
Yep. It's like when you point out how illegals commit a ton of crime and then they always come back with "immigrants are the lowest incarceration rate in the US".... they leave out the "illegal" part of that though. Grok has this info on federal prisons.
Based on the available information:
- Between 21% to 26% of the federal prison population in the United States has been reported to consist of illegal immigrants. Here's a breakdown:
- 21% - According to some reports, about one in five inmates in federal prisons are foreign-born, with a significant portion being illegal immigrants. This was noted in data from 2018 and 2019.
- 23% - In a report from 2017, it was stated that nearly one-quarter of all federal inmates were illegal immigrants.
- 26% - Other sources and posts on X have cited that in 2018, around 26% of federal prisoners were illegal aliens.
It's important to note that these figures can vary slightly due to different methodologies for reporting, changes in immigration policy, and the focus of different studies or reports. Also, these percentages refer specifically to the federal prison system, which handles crimes prosecuted at the federal level, including immigration violations. State and local facilities, which house the majority of inmates in the U.S., are not included in these statistics, leading to potentially different proportions when considering the entire incarcerated population.
1.4 trillion a year would be awesome if we could keep the legislature from pretending it is extra surplus and spending it.
Your thoughts definitely don't do shit, unhinged communist lunatic.
Why do tariffs hurt trade for us but not for other countries? Like Canada for instance. They have a trade surplus with the US yet they tariff the shit out of almost all our products. Many of their tariffs are over 100% and some are over 200%. How come it only works one way?
Did you all hear about this. It's probably been posted but I guess I've been under a rock. Trans vegan genius death cult called Ziz. lol wtf?
H1-b visa holders from Germany shot a border patrol agent in New England. They evidently get around. Their guns were linked to a double homicide in Pennsylvania. They are wanted in California for impaling a man with a sword and repeatedly stabbing him after squatting on his property.

The case of the radical ‘Zizian’ vegan trans cult and the shooting death of a Border Patrol agent
The murder of a US Border Patrol agent near the Canadian border appears to be linked to a radical leftist trans militant cult accused of killings across the country.
