Sununu, if he runs, is a shoo n in for NH. But he's no conservative but would at least add to the majority and be a R vote more times than not (hopefully).
And who built and benefits from the system?
Are you training for the rake-stepping Olympics?
The second video with Tucker and the other guy (not the general) was pretty great. Tucker claims he personally knows someone who bought weapons (originally from NATO/US) from the Ukranians. Guy calls him out and of course Tucker cannot name his source. Later Tucker doubles down and says it again, but cannot prove it. The other guy brings up a good point. Why in the world would the Ukranians sell weapons they desparately need to Mexican cartels? Logically it makes no sense. Sorry, but its very difficult to believe Tucker given some of his claims in the past
Karma.
Trump Hater Sets Himself Ablaze While Torching Tesla Charging Station in South Carolina
A masked man vandalized a Tesla charging station and attempted to burn it down using molotov cocktails in North Charleston, South Carolina, ultimately setting himself on fire in the process. The maniac spray-painted "Long live Ukraine" next to a vulgar message aimed at President Trump at the scene.www.breitbart.com
The whole Tesla/Elon/Trump thing is an absolute mess on all sides. I suppose one could argue it is a form of protest, but it is also a crime and those responsible should be arrested/prosecuted. With that being said, Trump, who consistently in the past has demonstrated in the past that he hates electric cars and is fighting hard against them, suddenly has a giant change of heart and buys one of his boys cars and makes a show out of it.
That’s actually a terrible attempt to make a point. It wouldn’t be the people being kidnapped off the street and sent to the front lines who are selling the weapons. Ukraine was always one of the most corrupt countries in the world. That hasn’t changed.
That's just a ploy. Let's do some real logical sht instead.
1. Let's fix student costs.
Screw this notion that "the university determines its own budget, tuition, and fees" bullsht. There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO reason for PUBLIC universities to have different costs for tuition. ZERO. If they get federal money, they should all have the same tuition rates. PERIOD. There should be a federal rate chart for tuition where the only diffefences ate based on typical program costs. Not salaries, not size of the program, but degree of investment of the institution.
Tuition for graduate programs should not be so much greater than those of undergrad programs. If anything, they should be equal or less because the class sizes are smaller, the students receive less direct instruction in most programs, and the teachers are already on staff for undergrad.
Fees should be reasonable to actual costs for supplies the class will need.
Room for on campus living will flex some based on location, but board should not. Food costs should be standardized across the nation for federally funded schools.
"Out of state" tuition should be a thing of the past for any schools receiving federal funds. PERIOD. Even if they don't receive federal funds of any kind, their entire existence is built upon the backs of undergrad and grad programs across the system. Stop gouging students and their families. Instead, programs wanting to charge more should only be allowed to collect the federal standard while the students are enrolled, and receive the rest without interest as graduates gain work in their related graduate field of study or emphasis.
2. Let's fix the diploma manufacturing mills.
If schools want to have degrees that do not lead to a productive and definable work product, then let them forgo federal funding and accreditation. Churning out diplomas and sending forth graduates into non-productive fields or into a sea of unemployed workers for jobs that don't exist needs to stop.
It should also be up to universities to monitor the employment of graduates across the country to ascertain if the degree field is oversaturated with graduates in the market, and no real job opportunities existing. They should cull or limit student totals in their programs where the market is oversaturated or high turnover. The universities that don't comply or their graduates cannot fund work in their field should see their funding and accreditation diminished, if not also being required to refund % of tuition to those who are actively seeking but not obtaining employment.
Technical and trade schools should receive special funding to produce a functional network of programs that cover the entire work spectrum of a self-sufficient nation. These can be more regionally specific, constructed for jobs specific to the region where their brick and mortar reside, but should not exclusively be so.
Tuition at these schools should also be the same across the country. Fees commensurate with the work being done and investment in the program. All else should apply to trade schools as well.
3. Let's incentivize good work.
National scholarships and grants for top of their class finishers in high school prep for both trade and professional programs. Regionally, by state, and nationally.
Make a national, regional, and state level portfolio review process for middle school, high school, and undergrad degree seekers where anyone can enter their work for scholarships, apprenticeships, and or grants towards their education.
4. Make ALL school costs tax deductible for parents or students (for students only- until the students are 24).
There's no reason these costs shouldn't be deductible IF the students are progressing towards their chosen degree. If they are not receiving a C or better in their degree field, then the deduction is forfeited for that independent student for that year. While they are a dependent and enrolled, dependent students' parents will still receive the deduction for actual costs incurred.
5. Remove the cursing/canceling of different schools of thought or those challenging the popular and profitable isms of the day.
Asking questions is the key to advancement.
BEING ALLOWED TO challenge the prominent school of thought IS THE VERY HEART OF SCIENCE, THE ARTS, AND EDUCATION. Schools that refuse to allow free speech and/or allow instead violence against dissent should be shuttered.
6. Set limits to administrative positions and salaries at public schools. Stop the ridiculous gravy train. It's not helping schools. It's. Ot benefiting students. There's no reason a school president should be making 1M per year. None
The system is an overfed and out of control behemoth as it is now.
If the CR fully funds USAID, then I'm with Massie. I dont know if it does so more info is required.
I also think a CR is a congressional dereliction of duty.

Right-wing US influencers say they were victims of alleged Russian plot
Several commentators said that, if the allegations proved true, they were "deceived" by the Russian government front.

The list of "most" corrupt countries has a history of being a list of former USSR territory.
Corruption as a culture takes generations to change and Ukraine got a late start in changing it.
Has a lot to improve still.
Deserves the credit for improving where it has.
These cuts will show up quick, parents and teachers will get vocal REAL quick.

Raise tariffs on things Germany sells here. They already fk us on international shipments there ss it is. Customs charges on items produced here are MASSIVE. Can't tell you how many sales and shipments by retail buyers in England, Italy, and Germany have been lost/cancelled once they see the charges imposed after the sale. They needed to be lowered 20 yrs ago.
Do it for all of the countries that promote this highwaymen mentality. We need to stop financing their socialist and globalist policies through their exorbitant tariffs against the US. THEY EITHER WANT TO BE TRADE PARTNERS OR THEY DON'T.

The liberals ask, "Why would a (corrupt) govt not use (and track) all of the money and weapons given them for defense of their country- TO DEFEND their country? "
Hmmm... why indeed..
Tell us you are a naive imbecile without telling us you're a naive imbecile.

lol
As noted earlier, you guys have become so retarded it’s not even amusing calling you retards anymore.
THEY DO
It's naive to believe they haven't been.
They shown their systems to auditors repeatedly.
Linky if the Ky Kremlin Club would like to read something that challenges the Russian Missinfo sphere.
Ukraine war: Kyiv makes gains in another fight - against corruption
Experts say Ukraine is now making significant progress in its long struggle against corruption.
www.bbc.com
its not any fun for you when your lies get challenged is it?
It was more fun when Dion actually tried to make points and string together coherent sentences, though always wrong.
Now it’s just blue sky, Reddit links, and retarded thing like claiming Ukraine isn’t corrupt.
What is more important to the nation to counter China, an alcohol company or an aluminum company?
I wonder how the workers at closed manufacturing plants in KY feel about the tariffs?
Hell, McConnell championed a freaking half built shell of a building for his Hemp grift. It’s directly across the street from a former tire manufacturing plant that employed 1000’s of people that moved to Mexico. That job less decimated the Mayfield and Graves County economy, not including the ensuing meth and fentanyl problem that followed.
They have to significantly lower income taxes if they’re really pushing this tariff strategy.
Exactly. As if they've (Ukraine) ever tried NOT to be corrupt.
Liberals are to socialism, communism, and corruption like the woman agrees to marry the guy who has beaten and cheated on his last 6 wives "because this time will be different."
Like the drunk whose family is hungry but he uses the money he's given to buy alcohol for himself instead, so is the corrupt government to its people. Reminds one of the floods in NC and the fires in Lahaina....
LOL... another Reddit post, this using graphics developed by Chris Murphy. That dude has max TDS.
LOL...30,000 didn't die due to not having benefits. Oh, the check didn't come today.....well, damn....see ya. Poof.
That is the same as saying millions died "from" covid....uh, no, they didn't. They might have died "with" covid and their other multiple comorbidities.
Good grief.
Trump sends classroom supplies?
And since when did liberals care about classroom supplies? I thought you were more concerned w/ guys being able to use girls locker rooms and having drag queens at recess.
Head Start has been proven to be a worthless money pit that provides no long-term, lasting educational benefit; it's little more than glorified day care / mom's morning out. Our Great Society tax dollars "at work".
nope righty are the party obsessed with little kids privates,
The left just wants every kid to not go hungry and get a fair shot at good education.
US has provided money, not just equipment, to Ukraine
Former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, made the inaccurate suggestion recently while taking aim at Republican Rep.

Liberal AP contradicts Zelensky claim that they've "only received 70B in weapons... No money." EU argues they gave him 120B as well. US figures were similar on paper.
How America’s Aid to Ukraine Actually Works
Only a small percentage of the overall aid package takes the form of cash transfers to Kyiv; the vast majority goes right back into the U.S. economy.

Not to mention the weapons given were from our own stockpiles and not orders for future production after the agreement, depleting our resources needed to defend our country, and having to replace them at a much higher cost to us now than even 2 years ago.
Not one liberal moron voted to keep guys out of girls locker rooms.
Here's your fair education...

this has given the defense industry the capital to expand production to near war time standards.
Artillery shell production capability has tripled.
Additonal jevelin production lines opened in Alabama.
By replacing our old ass inventories we are better prepared for the Taiwan gambit.
Hell the Bradley plants re-opened because they got global orders after seeing how capable they are.
One of my neighbor's kids who has autism learned to identify all of his basic kindergarten skills in Head Start prior to starting Kindergarten.
That allowed him to start school and be ready so that he could advance instead of falling behind right away.
Early intervention is key for any kid with disabilities.
You're an absolute idiot. Your hot take is 100 percent typical dumbass MAGA.
Ignorant as hell.
