Suppose you are right here. But sometimes common sense works too as opposed to their known opinions about the other party. Expected I guess it used to be humans could overlook said differences for a show of support to these fallen officers. It is apparent this is beneath them. God save them from their wayward common sense of things.

So this accountant has been fired or their oversight person who just happen to stumble on this money? Here’s a crazy idea use this found money and finish the wall to protect our own Southern Border how about protecting Americans versus Ukrainian people? How about protecting American’s for once?
One word for the Pentagon; Calculator. They simply cannot grow more brains when you have none to start with.
The below needs zero explanation by any of my diatribes.

Seven words for Mr. Biden while he can still comprehend it. Retire while you have some dignity left.
The below needs no explanation at all either by me or anyone, their actions speak to their true feelings and actions against America and American’s. All you need to know is see their actions. “Actions speak louder than words” even my own. “Only NO VOTES”
for you fuagf this is simply one of several articles on these Un-American folks. Take your pick, traitors all of them.

You need to look to the leaders you follow if you want to really know where all of your issues come from. They do not love you like you do them. Believe that!!!
Has been, you keep beating that drum so this man has a definite hold on you it’s so obvious to those here. Sad for you to have this much to say about one single human who has zero affect on your life. Sad I call it. Next!!!!!!
I said it is not up to you or me to make any decision on this issue. Your hate makes you sloppy a reader
You know to be honest most of you all must hate your mothers for giving birth to you all as you all seem to wish you had been aborted. You seem to think killing babies is just fine today as do many others in our world. It’s time that hate stops. I am simply here to give you pause to really reflect an bit about what you all are about in life that you were all given by your Mothers. You have no say nor do I about taking the life of any innocent baby. When you go there for all of your arguments here it falls on deaf ears because you approve of these innocent deaths. How do you all know that those children were not meant to save our world??? How do you know this? You don’t. Done…..
If that’s where it is you better find your friends there then. Good luck. And I thought all along you among all others here knew what the truth was. Let me down. But hey love the zero respect you give me here it is exactly what I expected from this group. You all need to find better leaders all the way around. Take care.
You do not get it at all here do you. Has zero to do with snd more to do with lying leaders that you follow. I could less about Trump and his escapades. Where’s your buddy Eric Swalwell’s Chinese spy now? Did Trump have a Chinese spy, No? Swalwell was on the intelligence committee with his spy. Was Trump? Nope. Where is Adam Schiff’s irrefutable evidence of the Russia collusion with Trump? We are still waiting for it. Where is that Zabby.? You all need to select better leaders in your party. Someone who is not a crook and cheat and liar. Then you may have a party left to revive. For now you all have prove me yourselves on this board as simple followers of liars. Live with that. Thanks for playing though. Let me know when you find your truth.
Ok I am fine for today. Go find find your next Russia collusion target I am sure some new plan has been cooked up by now for you all to follow. Time for new pablum of lies for you all.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You are in with your entire den of thieves and cannot get out of it and you are upset to find yourselves on the wrong side of the law of our Country again . You cannot get back all the lies you all have told on this board about your hstred which made you all blind to the truth and facts. The FBI lost all integrity and you followed that for years. Time to believe in reality again not lies.
A coup attempt is not unsubstantiated. August 2016 before the election, meeting with all the heads of our illustrious Government talking about the Clinton’s take down of Trump and subsequently kept it secret. When all the leaders knew what was going on. Please continue with your unsubstantiated lies you have learned to love all these years all the while it was your own cult leaders that did this to Smerica. Live with your own truths for once.
Why don’t you ask your good criminal Joe Biden. It will all come out don’t worry. Go get your Mac Donald’s and satisfy your current needs. Rome was not built in one day. Brick by brick it will cave with all your silly backup snd cartoons. So funny it’s coming wait for it…… impatience is not a good trait when facts are coming.
Truth is not an attack. When facts matter you all run for the hills and change the subject matter to avoid being made fools.
Sorry that song don’t play no more with anyone that has a brain and can think for themselves as opposed to their cult leaders. So sad for you here. Stuck in continual delirium of Liberal mania.
The United States Constitution does not call for federal law enforcement entity do Congress can vote to disband this group or at least eliminate the heads of this snake as the rank and file folks are dedicated men and women, no it’s. No balls in Congress to do it. The FBI has come out and said hey everybody we fixed all these things already mentioned in the Durham report. Yeah snd I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell all of you. Of course FBI has to make all us babies feel safe again in our own Country where we pay the bills. Why not change their name to tge SS same end product going on. GLTA common sense folks on this board of which there are not many.
FBI, CIA, DOJ are political entities on the Liberal side. Easy answer geez do some homework!!!!
So I see like your illustrious criminal leaders you have zero answers here. Good job typical for your team!!!!!
What business were the Biden crime family in? Where’s that link for 20 plus LLC’s? What is the business other than selling access? You don’t know do not worry neither do the Biden’s. Trump at least had a real business good or bad is it was run it was real. What is Biden’s business?
Possibly an AI infiltration which means zilch here. Back to lurking.

Maybe you can find among all the illegal aliens in CA. now squatting that you can find someone who knows how to use a calculator or an accountant type person or at least says they are. Or perhaps hire one of Trump’s army of attorneys to help you with adding and subtracting numbers? Or perhaps hire one of Joey Biden’s bevy of fake attorneys who created all of his fake businesses (whatever those businesses are as he has been politics his entire life) maybe they can add and subtract numbers for you. Or better yet hire Hunter Biden’s bevy of lawyers to help you out, oh that’s right they are not being paid because Hunter is broke and cannot afford all of his ill gotten children which Grandpa and Grandma have dismissed as Hunter’s kid oh well how nice and humane is that scenario here.
Gavin you have a lot of choices above to help the former State of CA. out but hey keep those reparations coming seeing as you think you have tons of money to offer and when that does not come to pass riots will ensue in your former State by the folks you promised for years to help. Now what Gavin Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!. Another promise to other folks using other peoples money, the Democrat way and then oppsy daisy we don’t have this money? Sorry folks, please do not riot in the street’s, its coming folks be prepared if you live there.
Hey Gavin can you send me a check too here as my ancestors died and fought to end slavery what is that worth in CA higher society today? Maybe I can get in on some of that taxpayer funded cash for myself so I can donate it to real poor people. What are you going to pay the millionaire ballplayers that are minorities? Hmmm….. Just asking what is Lebron’s part of these payments going to be? How about the folks from Somalia that just came to CA and live for free in public housing what is their check worth? Geeez so many folks to pay and NO MONEY TO DO IT WITH. I know raise taxes on the most wealthy CA folks, oops they are leaving in droves already, good luck Gavin we love you man and buy a calculator, or an AI robot to figure it out for you in human terms with feelings.
Illegal alien invaders you mean or drag on the taxpayers that are legally here or were born here paying for these folks to be here illegally. Which means we are funding once again illegal activities. Heck they will do anything to get these bots, no shame. Under the guise of saving this minority group so honorable of them ain’t it. No voter ID playing their tune!!!!
It has happened just saying. I see you great ideas about it. Whose the moron?
Simple common sense way to beat AI manipulation of you're children's voices calling you to ask for ransom on said children for whatever reason. A long time ago we set up a simple password verbally only that my children and we know. If that word comes across in any way it means danger something is wrong and it means it is them on the phone and not some robot or other. No one knows this word but our immediate family only. So if a message from one of our children came into us in their voice via some phone call and that word is not used as the very first word on the message we know it is phony and a scam. Simple and it ends there.
Beware Disclaimer. The below post could have been possibly manipulated by a Left Wing or Right Wing AI nutjob and I take zero responsibility for a non-human intervention with that data.
Nothing more much to add here we are funding crimes everyday in America via our tax dollars. We are paying the Cartels money to do the dirty work for illegal immigration to continue. We have no Country and we have no Laws. Good Luck with all of this folks. Legal immigration works I know first hand but it takes time to do things legally. These folks would not know a law if it bit them in their azzes.

The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers | 2023 Cost Study
March 8, 2023
The following is a summary of our cost study findings. To access our full report, including state-specific information, click here
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local Report by FAIR Research | March 2023
Key Highlights
• levels – was at least $150.7 subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal aliens – just under $32 billion – from the billion.
• FAIR arrived at this number by gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion.
• In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion. In just 5 years, the cost to Americans has increased by nearly $35 billion.
• Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens).
• Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.
• Evidence shows that tax payments by illegal aliens cover only around a sixth of the costs they create at all levels in this country.
• A large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.
• Many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.
Introduction
This cost study report is currently the only comprehensive examination of the financial impact of illegal immigration in the United States. Every day, hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer money are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration. Only a small fraction of these costs is ever recouped from taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and legal immigrants.
Our aim in this report is to show the American people the fiscal burden of illegal immigration at every level and across nearly all aspects of life. These costs range from emergency medical care to in-state tuition; from incarcerating illegal aliens in local jails to federal budgets that pay out billions in welfare every year. Because there are so many different ways that money is spent on illegal aliens at both the state and local levels, the information in our report is otherwise hard to find (or even intentionally hidden). This report supersedes FAIR’s 2017 cost study and highlights massive increases in spending related to illegal immigration that were implemented while American citizens deal with an uncertain economy.
The Number of Illegal Immigrants in the US
Estimating the fiscal burden of illegal immigration on the U.S. taxpayer depends on the size and characteristics of the illegal alien population. FAIR defines “illegal alien” as anyone who entered the United States without authorization or anyone who unlawfully remains once his/her authorization has expired. Unfortunately, the U.S. government has no central database containing information on the citizenship status of everyone lawfully present in the United States.
The overall problem of estimating the illegal alien population is further complicated by the fact that the majority of available sources on immigration status rely on self-reported data. Given that illegal aliens have a motive to lie about their immigration status in order to avoid discovery, the accuracy of these statistics is dubious at best. All of the foregoing issues make it very difficult to assess the current illegal alien population of the United States.
However, FAIR now estimates that there were at least 15.5 million illegal alien residents as of the beginning of 2022. This estimate takes into account drastic, ongoing increases in illegal immigration under the Biden administration. This estimate also includes some categories of individuals without legal status, like DACA recipients and parolees, who are illegal aliens under law but misleadingly excluded from many estimates. For more information on how we reached this figure, refer to the FAIR study “How Many Illegal Aliens Live in the United States?”
The Cost of Illegal Immigration to the United States
At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $182 billion to cover the costs incurred from the presence of more than 15.5 million illegal aliens, and about 5.4 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a cost burden of approximately $8,776 per illegal alien/citizen child. The burden of illegal immigration on U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling, with the gross cost per taxpayer at $1,156 every year.
Illegal aliens only contribute roughly $32 billion in taxes at the state, local, and federal levels. This means that the net fiscal cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers totals approximately $150.7 billion.
In 2017, FAIR estimated the net cost of illegal immigration at approximately $116 billion. This means that in just 5 years, the cost of illegal immigration has increased by nearly $35 billion. This rapid increase is a consequence of the ongoing border crisis and a lack of effective immigration enforcement. The sections below further break down and explain these numbers at the federal, state, and local levels.
Total Governmental Expenditures on Illegal Aliens
Total Tax Contributions by Illegal Aliens
Total Economic Impact of Illegal Immigration
Federal
Federal Spending
The approximately $66.4 billion in federal expenditures attributable to illegal aliens is staggering, and constitutes an increase of 45 percent since 2017. This amounts to roughly $3,187 per illegal alien, per year.
FAIR believes that every concerned American citizen should be asking our government why, in a time of increasing costs and shrinking resources, it is spending such large amounts of money on individuals who are not authorized to be in the United States. This is an especially important question in view of the fact that the taxes paid by illegal aliens offset very little of the enormous costs stemming from their presence in the country.
Federal Education?—?$6.6 Billion
Total Federal Medical Expenditures?—?$23.1 Billion
Total Federal Justice Enforcement Expenditures?—?$25.1 Billion
Total Federal Welfare Programs?—?$11.6 Billion
Total Overall Federal Expenditures?—?$66.5 Billion
Federal Taxes
Taxes collected from illegal aliens help offset fiscal outlays and therefore must be included in any examination of the cost of illegal immigration. However, illegal alien advocates frequently cite the alleged large tax payments made by illegal aliens as a justification for their unlawful presence and as a reason itself to grant them amnesty. That argument is nothing more than a red herring. Such claims rarely look at the costs associated with illegal immigration, and instead only focus on the amounts contributed to the economy and paid in taxes.
Most studies grossly overestimate both the taxes actually collected from illegal aliens and, more importantly, the net amount of taxes actually paid by them (i.e., the amount of money collected from illegal aliens and ultimately kept by the federal government). A predominant reason for this is that in recent years, the United States has focused on apprehending and removing almost solely criminal aliens (and since President Biden took office, many criminal aliens are now protected from deportation as well). Because of this, the majority of illegal aliens seeking employment in the United States now live in an environment where they have little fear of deportation even if discovered.
Federal Tax Receipts from Illegal Aliens?—?$24.6 Billion
Net Federal Impact of Illegal Aliens?—?$50.2 Billion
State and Local
The total fiscal burden of illegal immigration on state taxpayers has now reached a staggering $115.6 billion, which is 30 percent more than it was in 2017. The primary reasons for this, aside from a rapid increase in the illegal alien population, are that a number of states have opted to expand access to state welfare, education, and medical programs to illegal aliens. These expansions have led to taxpayers paying tens of billions in additional funding to cover these costs.
Concerningly, as will be seen in the following section, the taxes paid by illegal aliens to state and local governments fall far short of making up for the numerous additional state-funded benefits they are receiving. Moreover, with many states set to begin offering even more benefits to illegal aliens, as mentioned previously, these costs are only expected to increase even further.
State and Local Spending
State Educational Expenditures?—?$73.3 Billion
State Medical Expenditures?—?$18.6 Billion
State Administration of Justice Expenditures?—?$21.8 Billion
State Welfare Expenditures?—?$2 Billion
State and Local Expenditures?—?$115.6 Billion
State and Local Taxes Collected
As with federal costs, state and local costs are offset?—?to some degree?—?by the taxes illegal aliens pay. As noted in the Federal taxes portion of this section, proponents of illegal immigration argue that the taxes paid by illegal aliens result in a net boon to state and local coffers. However, this is a spurious argument. Evidence shows that the tax payments made by illegal aliens fall far short of covering the costs of the services they consume.
It is also important to note that calling illegal alien tax payments a net receipt is a mischaracterization. The overall wage depression inflicted on local labor markets by the presence of large numbers of illegal aliens willing to work for less than market rates has far-reaching fiscal implications that are often not quantified on average balance sheets. Low-wage workers generally access more government benefits than higher-paid employees. Furthermore, illegal aliens also tend to remit large portions of their earnings back to their home countries, and thus less money is incorporated back into local economies and less is paid in local sales and excise taxes. However, because this study looks at the fiscal impacts of illegal immigration, and tax collections are a fiscal offset, we do our best to estimate how much of the fiscal costs borne by taxpayers are reduced by taxes paid by illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens are not typical taxpayers. First, the large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy avoid paying any income tax at all. Those that do work in the formal economy often receive back more than they pay to the federal government through refundable tax credit programs. Finally, the average earnings of illegal alien households are considerably lower than earnings of legal aliens and native-born workers, thus they typically fall into the lowest tax brackets.
State Taxes Collected?—?$15.2 Billion
Net State Impact?—?$100.4 Billion

United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration
Monthly cash for food, lodging, and 'movement' assistance amounts to material support for illegal immigration. It influences decisions to cross.
By Todd Bensman on December 16, 2021
The Federalist, December 16, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas – During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers.
One of two workers at a plastic folding table inside the Reynosa camp, which was filled to capacity with at least 1,200 mostly U.S.-expelled Central Americans, said they were distributing the cards for IOM to help migrants waiting until they cross the Rio Grande at greater leisure to claim asylum, for which most will be declared ineligible years later. Many parents, for instance, got about $400 every 15 days, I was told, or $800 a month if they were still there to collect it, although the support level varied.
My photos of this posted to Twitter and related dispatch for the Center for Immigration Studies drew outrage among some Republican lawmakers. They saw the images as evidence that the U.S. taxpayer-funded IOM was providing material support to an ongoing mass migration harmful to America’s national interest.
A couple of weeks later, Texas Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, and 11 other House Republican co-sponsors introduced the “No Tax Dollars for the United Nations Immigration Invasion Act” bill. It would prohibit the $3.8 billion in contributions currently proposed in the White House 2022 budget to the IOM and other UN-supported organizations. A Daily Caller story that broke news of the bill’s introduction quoted Gooden citing my Reynosa photos.
When I took the photos, I wasn’t exactly sure of exactly what I was seeing in Reynosa. But here’s what I have learned since: The money card is confirmed beyond doubt, but also “hard cash in envelopes” and “movement assistance”; and an online IOM “Emergency Manual” describes what I saw as part of a program it terms “Cash-Based Interventions,” or CBIs.
Paying People Who Illegally Enter the United States
So, for starters, country-specific IOM “Cash Working Groups” are indeed coordinating the handouts of the cash-holding plastic cards I saw (referred to as prepaid debit cards, e-wallets and e-cards) to intending U.S. border crossers in Reynosa, Mexico. But it turns out that is just an iceberg tip. The IOM is handing out cash and other material support to intending illegal border crossers in as many as 100 other shelters it helped build, expand, or supports from Central America north.
Some form of this has been around for years, but starting with a mass-migration event and Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy in 2019, the IOM supercharged the program and “institutionalized” it. This doubled the countries where it is used in 2020 and increased by 77 percent the number of recipients to 1.6 million worldwide, according to an annual 2020 IOM report. That would include Mexico.
The IOM Emergency Manual document says this cash assistance also includes less-seeable bank transfers, mobile transfers, and e-vouchers that go to intending illegal border crossers en route or at least temporarily blocked like many of those I saw and interviewed in Reynosa. In addition to those and the pre-paid plastic cards, the IOM says in its Emergency Manual that it also sometimes hands out “cash in envelopes (hard cash).” No details are offered on that.
Many payments are given as “unconditional; unrestricted cash transfers” for “multi-purpose use,” the manual says. Still other handouts subsidize the lodging, rent, and utilities of intending border crossers for “safe tenure, to reduce the risk of forced eviction.”
Start Tapping U.S. Taxpayers Before You Get There
Then there is “movement assistance” in the form of conditional or unrestricted cash transfers. The IOM describes this money as providing transportation access after, say a camp is closed, but also simply “to sites and other situations related to onward movement of population.”
To border hawks, all of this looks, feels, and acts like an agency providing the means for illegal border crossings. The IOM’s own stated purpose for cash-based interventions would only reinforce the perception: the money is intended to “restore feelings of choice and empowerment for beneficiaries.”
Migrant advocates defend cash support to aspiring illegal border crossers as a means to prevent death and suffering among populations they believe have no choice but to migrate and would whether or not any UN agency helps out. But the legitimate flip side of that claim is that cash in envelopes or in e-wallets — filled in part by U.S. taxpayer money — can also be said to enable, sustain, or even entice many driven not by urgent dangers but by a desire for better jobs amid reports that Americans would let them in.
Spending U.S. Money to Encourage ‘Invasion’
An aggravating irony among the fast-expanding coterie of Republican congressional critics of the UN largesse is that U.S. taxpayer money is being spent in contravention of American immigration law and national interest in controlling the border against economic migration.
“All of this sounds like they’re using U.S. tax dollars to encourage this invasion into the nation, and it seems strange to me that we would support an organization that encourages and funds this,” Gooden told me. “It’s totally crazy. I am baffled that there’s not more outrage but I think the lack of outrage is due to the lack of knowledge.”
While it may be true that IOM money relieves the suffering of intending border crossers, it is just as arguably true that it creates financial breathing room they need to prepare for more opportune crossing moments. The money enables that highly desired payoff, rather than a forced trip home for lack of funds after, say, an expensive smuggling journey that ended with U.S. expulsion. Those ones arrive in villages with a deterring don’t-try-this message to friends and neighbors.
Regarding the importance of such messaging in the development of mass migration crises, I’ve never met one who didn’t carry a cell phone connected to Internet social media. In interviews with perhaps hundreds of migrants in Mexico and beyond, I learned that this live-time social media grapevine constantly sings with news from the trail upstream that directly informs decisions downstream as to whether to launch north or remain in place.
So when word of these IOM cash, lodging, and transportation benefits spreads via social media to hometowns, friends and relatives undoubtedly feel more emboldened to invest smuggling money for their own journeys to UN waystations. Because of all this, monthly IOM cash for food, lodging, and “movement” assistance amounts to material support for illegal immigration. It influences decisions to cross.
Increasing U.S. Cash Support for Illegal Immigration
It’s unclear just how much the United States gives IOM to sustain intending border crossers until they succeed, or how many got some during 2021. But the cash giveaways have been on a steep skyward trajectory since 2019 and only show signs of continuing upward.
The public reporting as to how much the United States, through the State Department, gives IOM and how many got it is opaque at best. President Joe Biden’s 2022 budget calls for $10 billion in humanitarian assistance “to support vulnerable people abroad.” But there’s no detailed breakout.
A Fiscal Year 2019 summary (starting page 37) by the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), which provides U.S. funding to the IOM and many other United Nations agencies, offers one clue of the pre-expansion levels. IOM spent more than $60 million in 2019 for activities in the northern part of South America, Central America, and Mexico during the so-called “caravan migrant crisis” earlier that year, the fiscal year report said.
State Department-funneled money helped IOM provide 29,000 people in the Western Hemisphere with cash and voucher assistance and supported 75 shelter waystations, the State Department report states on page 42, much like the one I visited in Reynosa. Along the northern border of Mexico in July 2019, at the height of a “caravan” crisis, the IOM provided 600 beds and essential items to the Mexican government and helped it expand existing shelters and build new ones to accommodate the “asylum seekers.”
This came as a response to the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” turn-back policy. That deported economic migrants trying to abuse the asylum system, while others chose to wait for Democrats to take the White House in November 2020 — a sound bet, it turned out.
The IOM decided to increase the size and scope of the program after 2019, even after President Biden took office and ended Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. The extent is unclear, but the IOM institutionalized cash handout programs in Panama, El Salvador, and Mexico in 2020.
Ambiguously, the IOM’s annual 2020 report on the program showed only that it gave cash to somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 people in Mexico that year.
Whatever the recipient numbers since 2019, the IOM clearly intends an upward trajectory for the cash giveaways. The IOM’s Emergency Manual stated several times it would do so in alignment with a fairly recent pact among an international consortium of organizations known as The Grand Bargain, of which the IOM is a signatory. The Grand Bargain pact dates to 2016.
An Inter-Agency Standing Committee Grand Bargain website reports that number 3 on the objectives list is “Increase the use and coordination of cash-based programming.” A November 26, 2021 Grand Bargain caucus on cash coordination had all principals agree to increase the use of cash “beyond current low levels” through the use of even more means of delivery.
The section’s first line starts out using familiar language seen in the IOM’s Emergency Manual: “Using cash helps deliver greater choice and empowerment to affected people.”
Here’s the problem: with the greater choice and empowerment that IOM money can buy, aspiring migrants are able to remain within striking distance of the southern border to choose the time of their inevitable illegal border crossings. No one should wonder why border hawks hate this system and open borders advocates love it.

Santos is distraction-Biden criminal money laundering deals with enemies, what did I say here folks many times all folks who work in D.C. are criminals who represent some of us.

Biden family no one is above the Law is that not your cry over the last six years to others?
Biden Family Too Big forJail.
We need some Brit to tell us all how to think now. We escaped that loser Country years ago to get away from the dang King which still exist!!!! Talk about elitist. “For my friends everything, for my enemies the Law”. The Democrat way.
Same as Trump wanting to show up at the current rape trial as he blasts the judge snd the plaintiff all the while being the idiot who thinks everyone is against him because they do not like him. What a joke this person is. Trump grow a pair will you. Too late I am afraid. Liar, rapist, poor businessman what else can you possibly eff up next. You are like a Train wreck looking for the tracks.
Same as the border is not open. Funniest joke of the century.
Gas stoves now banned in Democratic State of NY after Governor had stated earlier if you like your gas stove you can keep it. Sound familiar, then they do it anyway. Two faced inhuman’s is what they all are. Would not know or understand the truth unless it bit them in the butt. What is next, chewing gum I’ll bet you on it.
Facts of reality versus fear and incorrect facts about our grid. And Biden family has never been enriched by foreign entities in his forty plus years of on the take services. His son has fallen far from this tree heck he’s still growing on that teat. Power usage versus power never having been on the national electrical grid ever in our lifetimes now it will require more plants operated by fossil fuels and the like to be upsized and built. Oil and gas folks and utilities are great investments once again due to this power grab literally. EV Baby all the way to the banksky…. I love long romantic walks yo the bank with my oil and gas companies hand in hand. Get on this bandwagon before they leave the station folks.
Now where did the commies hide that dang pesky little manifesto here anyway? Oh that’s right freedom of speech only exists in other non commie nations but not here right?
I thought America was a freedom of speech Country guess I had better check the map again. I failed geography in school so maybe I have my latitude and longitude numbers wrong here again. Oh well no news is good news anymore. Keep believing stat AI does not exist snd you all will be just fine close your eyes and makes another wish cuz this one’s dead.
Finally someone has caught up to my brain and common sense understanding that nothing on the internet can be trusted for news or factual. You folks love for posters to post links to prove their points. How's that going for you now. Finally I have an astrophysicist agreeing with me now that unless you are physically present when news occurs or know personally someone present when it occurs it just cannot be trusted with links from this internet, it will be gone very soon as AI holds zero credibility relating to new related stories. AI will kill the internet and for now no matter what links one posts even the one below it is fully suspect therefore cannot be trusted.

Totally arguing against them all the way pal. They are going to be a drain on our utility systems once rolled out we will be using double the electricity we use now across our nation. A watt is a watt, and will always be so. Remember that is just one company doing this and it is becoming rampant across America now. Going backwards is never good. Let alone the minerals which produce the materials for the batteries is mostly from the Congo and China. Slave labor in each location that we are supporting and the conditions under which those humans work under to get these out of the ground. But those are the dirty little secrets no one seems to care about as long as they get theirs ,right folks.
Good news for your team here, think again..............

Great job here adding up to roughly requiring possibly a 3000 amp service or more here [per site here added to over 5,200 Walmart/Sams Clubs and Market properties to support EV Charging Stations. What a great way to save energy, no need to build new fossil fuel power plants here folks. Crazy. You know electricity just simple via osmosis comes out of the ground into these new EV units no wires required here, never had this much load on the grid prior. But now hey let's go for it. Somehow I do not see Walmart shoppers as those well enough off to be able to afford an EV Car to begin with but hey who am I here just a common sense person. But I say if you are big enough who cares.
I guess all those companies who over the last twenty plus years who have been saving energy with energy efficient systems and lighting savings have just lost all of it in one fell swoop by one vendor across the U.S. but hey we are about following Biden off the cliff right so here we go enjoy the ride here, nothing to see here folks just adding carbon to our world thanks for playing. Thanks Joey you are the carnival barker for this negative progress on carbon footprints have you asked Al Gore about this fiasco you have created here? Oh well brains was never anyone that is in charge strong points, a little math goes a little way if you have a twenty year old calculator or an old computer with dbase that does simple math.
3000amp times 5,200 plus stores is 15,600,000 amps added to our national grid not there now hmmm....... that is 7,448,000,000 watts divide by 1,000watts to get a KW value is 7,448,000 million more Kw added to our grid nationally. Nice hey. How those new nuclear plants looking now folks, oh that's right Democrap's don't like those either. Time to invest in fossil fuel companies folks and utility companies they will be smiling all the way to the bank making more trips now with those fat checks. Good for America, not good for environment via power plants that no one seems to see or realize create the power for these boondoggle ideas. No its osmosis quick tell the media folks they will believe anything, or is it all AI related? Trust your fact checkers at the AI factories folks, you all love facts from you're AI sources.
This is great then all folks who are not into killing babies will have them and the rest of your kind will be fully depleted from our planet. I for once agree with you. All haters of life and babies guess what we’re given life by their mothers and it was not taken away from this earth. So basically you are all saying that none of you belong here to make such idiotic comments. You all wish you were not given life by your Mother’s. Ok good job and great conversation that you all need to think about. This is why lefties need to indoctrinate their opposition so that they convince them not to give life too. Will never happen. Aldo eith AI on the March to full blown madness none of us will be here much longer anyway. Those who like power with control will lose that power due to their invention of AI losing its control as we have folks without common sense attempting now to make a Godlike AI creation to control everything. This sounds like madness to me, kind of like this board. Oh well you will learn the truth when AI takes over who is really in charge of the universe. Thanks for playing you wanna be baby killers.
You sound fairly well adjusted to me and using those childish swear words like a teenager. Seems normal to me. Hey ho have a beer with your meds and chill out. I am here to help. Good luck with that. People kill people not guns. Glad you can control your depression sounds like whatever you are doing works FOR YOU. Not so much for others that go a tad deeper. But hey you think everyone is the same, but they are not.
People with issues in mental health kill innocent people no matter their weapon of choice. Guns just sit quietly there until a human picks it up to use it. I build a house I buy a hammer among other tools to get the job at hand completed. Those ill folks think they are doing the right thing by shooting innocents, they are wrong to take out their internal battles of their illness out on others. Again guns just sit there until someone picks it up for their purpose good or bad. Sad what happens all the time but little is done to address the real issue of mental health in our nation. And who is allowing many more drugs into our country??? Gee wonder whose policies those are? Hmmm….. hippa laws protect all these I’ll folks and detention on the mentally I’ll is voluntary unless ordered by a Judge or their families, even families it’s voluntary to put a grown adult into a psyche ward. Those folks should be no where near any weapons. But that is the true price of all of our freedoms here. Our minds cannot seem to fathom how these things occur but has zero to do with more gun laws.
They are about self reliance and responsibility unlike your kind. Lessons can be learned by all here. Where’s the payback to small businesses when they have to purchase vehicles where is that forgiveness in their attempts to keep America working? None to be found but let’s payoff lazy rich kids loans another foolish idea. Where is the payback to families that paid their loans off by working g two and three jobs? Oh that is not happening either. Democrats know zero about fairness. “For my friends’, everything’ for my enemies, the Law”. Democratic motto.
Not sure how folks like yourself can be so foolish and out of touch. He was no insider to those who control you and me in DC. Wake up and smell the coffee wake up. You have been duped but now I believe that to be a very easy task. Good luck folks like you help elect folks like Trump get it yet. Geez!!!
