So predictable and funny as you also seem to believe the former resident in the WH has some sort of power here too funny. Guess who is in charge here pal??? Give you a clue it’s an old elderly man in a suit dragged out by his wife total elderly abuse which I guess you concur with here. IMHO of course. Joey holds all the power but you would think Tim the posts on this board he does not, now that is what is real scary, your in charge and you are all scared of this one person. Tells you all something. But again keep at it you may stumble upon the truth. Even a squirrel finds a nut in the woods once in awhile. You guys are still looking for your own truths. Too funny.
I found Biden’s speech or directive to his troops really hilarious the other night. He should do stand up comedy and open up for SNL he really missed his calling. So predictable and funny. Backdrop in red which is signal/symbolism to those Countries performing war games this was Biden’s seal of approval to move forward. Again predictable. I guess those Voters are now shaking in their boots if they could afford them today. Sorry to say that once again his enabler in tow his spouse had to hand cart him out there onto the stage so he did not fall down once again proving her role in his continuing elderly abuse aspect of his handlers and the real group controlling our Government. Again very predictable. Loved every second of his routine and should sign up for America’s Got Talent, the need a good comedian.
Anyway in closing to I hope the other party does not get out over their ski’s from his routine it is not worth it. The folks on this board somehow believe the former holder of this office holds some power in this Country again too funny, all this time posting so much drivel about someone who has zero power and their man holds both houses and the Presidency that are attempting to somehow all of a sudden come across as just plain honest folks and we follow the rule of law. Again what a laugh a minute here. Yes Joe you Da Man to someone I guess hope you can stay calmer and less mean spirited in your next comedy routine. See ya all. Cannot wait for the next episode maybe it this pilot will become a series. I stand as your board’s Constitutional Libertarian.
Zab I will not respond with curse words to you back as I respect my elders and you have a few years on me here, so let that be as it is. Your comeback comments though really remind me of the party taht offends you so much and their banter. To quote you below,
"As for the country, 65 % of the country actually believe in American democracy, you can either choose to support America".
You also made another post the other day referencing history that I did not know history, well that depends upon what history you wish to understand and live with as your Party has attempted and successfully too parts of the past Civil War and certain Explorers to our World. So if they can eliminate parts of certain history because it makes them fearful, or it hurts their feelings seeing those paintings or statues or writings that are a part of the history makeup of the U.S. that a lot of men and women died for here and overseas fighting for that history and writing new history with their heroic accomplshments from past wars. Then if we can simply remove parts of our history then no history need be taught or learned here at al then right? Let's pick what we want from our history and keep that stories that make us all feel nice and safe and eliminate those that make us all uncomfortable.
I hate to tell you but the entire makeup of historical records of different times are a part of our heritiaqe and Country, to eliminate pieces a minority of Americans do not like does a total disservice to those that served those ends to keep America safe from those tyirannies. But you must like these changes and agree that certain histories need not be told if it upsets someone in our Country.
Well then you can no more eliminate parts of our History because if you do then you muist remove IT ALL not the pieces you disagree with. You either keep it all or eliminate it all as hisitory does not work that way were we can cut it off wherevere we wnat to. That is a disgrace. So I ask again what history are you speaking to here?
I say we should be like the Israeli Nation, they have to suffer still today the consequences when anyone brings up Adolph Hitler and his destruction of their peoplse in WWII. They have learned to suck it up and move on from it and grow a backbone in today's world you will see no other nation conquer them because they have learned to nip things in the bud before they get screwed again by some other maniac, you might support.
Now the killing of John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and the great orator Martin Luther King all shot dead when I was a child in this Countrry. So I say let's get rid of that history because those issues bothered me then and they still bother me to this day. But the difference being I have grown up and learned to get a backbone and live with such devastating travesties in our Country. I would never call to elikminate that History and therefore any history of our Nation just because it hurts my feelings.
And I would not be asking to make a buck from it either, as others are doing today, pay me this or remove this from our History. What a joke.
So you speak of American Democracy which involves our ENTIRE HISTORY not pieces of it as others want to do with it, but the entirety of it as a whole good, bad or indifferent. Leanr to deal with these things that are hurtful in our history, or seek professional help when these things bother you. I for one do not know of anyone still alive today that was during the Civil War times. So to be bothered by something no one here lived with at all today is mental illness and they should seek professional help.
By the way we are actually a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy. And I suppoprt America fully and all its History not just pieces I like about it as I owe it to all of our forethathers and foremothers to carry on that legacy, not destroy it or else ti will be repeated by some dolt known as Biden.

Zab, if I recall I had thought taht the former Administration was in a battle against drugs being brought into America but I had not read they made no progress to that regards. It is bad either way for folks here to die from an avoidable calamity here. Both parties again are to blame for this fiasco of the current allowance of these drugs into our society and to the children of our Nation. I am sure glad I can sit back and view both of these debating sides here for Dem/Rep on such things. Not sure what is coming next but I fear those 74 million plus voters for the former President are in for a rude awakening after tonight' speech by sleepy Joe. Some of them may not take it too well. Glad I am not one of them here. Oh well hate to be the one with these jack booted thugs with their boots on my neck in the future, but I am afraid that is where this all is heading. If Biden were smart, and he is not by all accounts, he will diffuse this situation and claim he needs all American's to come together start with the drug deaths and then move into economy and how he plans to get us all out of this mess, that is if he wants to do so. Then move into garnering support from the rest of what they call the "Other Americans "deplorables as Hillary had called them prior. I really think he needs to be gentler and not mean spirited and use a little humility something I don't think he has in him. But we shall see.
President Joe Biden will take to the stage Thursday night in Philadelphia to address the American people about alleged threats to our democracy. Will this be the speech of the uniter-in-chief who said in his inaugural address that we must, "see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors"? Or will it be the speech of the new, angry Biden calling out "Ultra MAGA" for its supposed extremism?
There has always been an unwritten rule in American politics that you can attack your opponent with everything you got, but you don’t attack their voters. However, just this past week Charlie Crist, the Democrat gubernatorial candidate in Florida said he doesn’t want votes from conservatives, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told Republican New Yorkers to move to Florida, which, a lot frankly have already, and Joe Biden called the MAGA philosophy of Trump supporters, "semi-fascist." This is all extremely dangerous and it needs to stop.
Let's be clear, Biden did not call Trump a semi-fascist, he said it about the "MAGA philosophy" embraced by Trump’s voters. Fascism is a particularly dehumanizing accusation. Its root word, fasces, means a bundle of sticks, stronger together than separate, and in which each individual stick is indistinguishable from the whole. A blow against an individual fascist is a blow against fascism itself.
That is to say, once you identify someone as a fascist, they are as good a target for harassment or violence as any other person who shares their beliefs. Not only is harassing Justice Brett Kavanaugh, or swatting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene acceptable, so are attacks on your neighbor with the Trump flag on his truck.
Let's all hope Joe can muster a figment of his old self and deliver a smart calming speech tonight.
Take care all.
The number one priority of this current Administration needs to be the below. This amounts to almost a full airplane crash per day. Almost 300 Americans per day killed due to overdose of drugs in our Country. Focus should not be on a person who has zero power in this Country yet that is the goal here the rest they are asleep at the wheel pardon the pun per" Biden.".

By the way I see Kamala has made the Minnesota news again with her great Minnesota Free Bail Fund. This guy during the riots was arrested for exposing himself to a female and masturbating, arrested then let out on bail as a protestor during the riots in Minnesota so now that he was let go he committed another crime thanks to Kamala's dollars. Great job Kamala, maybe you actually should be working on the border. What a role model for this liberal party hey.

Hey just wondering over all those years this lady from China worked under Eric Swawell how many documents she copied and sent to the Communist Red Chinese is anyone looking into that fiasco, CIA made him kick her out of the Country after over 10 years of having her nose under his tent so to speak. Gee isn't he on the Intelligence Committee too? Not to intelligent I guess never got the memo that all Chinese folks that come to the U.S. sign a document that they must spy on American's in Campuses and in Government positions and report back to them upon their return. Oh well Eric does not appear to be too bright anyway. Not sure he even shaves yet? Another great role model to hire spies to work in our Government, Hey where are the documents over 10 years she stole and gave to the Chinese Government, oh I forgot we are only worried about the former Presidents documents as his home, not the Chinese stolen documents here from Intelligent Committee meetings over the years. Oh well.

Good day folks. Who loves you....... I do.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/31/merrick-garland-bans-doj-employees-talking-congres/
Attorney General Merrick Garland has issued a memo blocking Justice Department employees from communicating with members of Congress in the wake of stunning whistleblower disclosures regarding the FBI probe into Hunter Biden’s business affairs.
Mr. Garland wrote that all communication with Congress must be conducted through the department’s office of legislative affairs.
The policy is “to protect our criminal and civil law enforcement decisions, and our legal judgment from partisans or other inappropriate influences, whether real or perceived or indirect,” he said in the memo, sent late Tuesday.
THIS IS CALLED COVERING YOUR BEHIND FROM THOSE GREAT AMERICANS THAT WORK FOR THIS DOLT TO SPEAK THE FACTS AND TRUTHS TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS REGIME OF AUTHORITARIANISM AND FASCISM GIONG ON IN THSI MAN'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
He stressed that the new policies “are not intended to conflict with or limit whistleblower protections” and that “Congress may carry out its legislative oversight functions.”
RIGHT AND YOU THINK WE ALL BELIEVE THAT BALONEY HERE WHAT A JERK HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED.
Kurt Siuzdak, a former FBI agent and a lawyer who represents bureau whistleblowers, said the memo is targeting employees who want to speak out against misconduct.
NO AUTHORITARIANISM GOING ON HERE FOLKS DO NOT LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN YOU WILL BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU ALL SEE THAT YOU ALL CLAIIM AND OUR BUFFOON PRESIDENT CLAIMS THE OTHER SIDE IS DOING AND HERE IT IS FOR ALL TO SEE WHO EXACTLY IS PERFORMING THESE AUTORITARINISM ONTO ITS SUBJECTS, WHY IT IS KING GARLAND HIMSELF
“There’s no whistleblower status, per se. If you make a protected disclosure of criminal wrongdoing or serious misconduct, and then they retaliate, you go to the office of attorney recruitment and management and they basically will remove any personnel actions after two to five years, and people know it’s two to five years. And they know the office of general counsel is going to fight and cause them lots of money,” he said.
RIGHT YOU WILL FOLLOW THE WHISTLEBLOWER STATUTE THEN SURE DON'T SOUND LIKE IT KING GARLAND WHO WORKS WITH FULL AUTHORITY OF BUFFOON JOE.
Better yet let's blame social media for these episodes in Chicago, the dog ate my homework so I have to take it all out on our society that puts me down every day.

Don't forget tonight buffoonery speech to AMERIKA from Comrade Joe will be to point at the shiny object over there and say look at that don't look at us here we are doing our nice little jobs, it's those shiny objects you need to be worried about. Total distraction from facts and reality but does not matter he has the great and mighty Justice Dept.to back him up. Don't mind what we are doing its all on them over there you know. Read these folks like a book. No humility here, have not seen taht since Reagan was President, now its just throw darts at folks you hate.
What a divider in chief we have here now, he was, remember, to bring us all together but hey at his age it is hard to recall getting up each morning. To me they need to bring charges against his wife for elderly abuse strutting him out there to read script written by some snotnosed little millennial kid who does not even know who Joe is. Oh well just read it Joey, facts do not matter. All of them should be up on charges of elderly abuse. I feel sorry for the man surely I do, This is one time I can say truthfully he knows not what he does and others are to blame for it all.
blackhawks, yes a lot of what he did in his former life led him to the disruptive ways in which he led this Country. And a lot of mistakes were made no doubt about it some known some no known. I don't stand for him at all but he definitely hit a nerve with folks in our Country yearning to get out of these DC long term cronies who control the policies, American's long for someone who takes no guff from anyone even their own party, as you know folks in his own party hated him. That tells you all you need to know about this person, he was out for none of their favors only to use them, as they did him and still do today. They all learned to deal with him and his nastiness towards them. So the only solace is you know what you got with him and you dealt with it. He made you grow a pair or get out of the way. I guess none of you folks would have like Harry Truman then... Just saying. Thanks.
Pore edduKashun frum Amurika's Liburall Skools Eye Gess.
So what is this person's issue? Mental health condition, Drugs from the border affecting his brain, allowing this kid to buy a gun in the first place? Did he steal the gun?
Has he committed crimes prior to this? Does he post on those waste of time Social Media outlets dangerous comments or pictures? Does he have a safe and loving home or a very disrupted home or no father or mother that care for him or his actions at all?
Either way here the person committed the crime the gun unto itself is sitting there waiting to be loaded and then the safety turned off and then the trigger pulled by a human source. The gun without the sick child or adult is harmless sitting in its locked safe at home unloaded, but when you implement a process to which it is loaded and ready to fire, the gun does its job, just like a drill at work, without a battery or power cord it will not work in your hands, or without a drill bit it will not drill anything. The tool when used properly and safely harms no one. If one turns a drill on themselves with a bit and a power source and one drills into their skin they will be harmed no doubt it. Using any tool in the wrong manner causes injuries and death. Again many folks make up this Country 320 million plus of us here of all kinds of Religion, Atheist, Gay, LGMTQ, All races, nationalities, of all sorts make up this Country. Some hate and some love and some do neither they cannot feel anything like you and me they are immune to feeling for others. How do you determine who those folks are in our society. Good luck with that. Thanks.
Zab, I am with you on America being the leader, well they better start acting like it as most Countries today see Mr. Biden as the joke of the day in leading this Country, it is just the way it is. they are being very polite our allies, but our enemies know what we have here is a disaster openly they know how foolish we look. Afghanistan was just one example how foolish we have become. Sad we have a long way to go to get what you used to think about America. A Long Way To Go...................
blackhawks, then there are plenty here to blame for this issue as a lot of his team was working in DC and knew these processes. Shame on them all for allowing it and shame on the former President for not demanding it be done correctly in the first place and ask what do we do with all these documents? Who the heck said you can take them and keep them at home???? What a dope he is.
Yes I live in that upcoming future foreign nation known as America. If we keep following Europe's lead we will all be over the cliff soon. Yes sirree follow those French folks while they wave their white flag in the air and fall further into the abyss. Hey perhaps Gavin should run for French President, he acts like them.
blackhawks, I can agree with that information. Makes perfect sense to me, thanks.
brooklyn13 no quite the contrary just because I take stand using my brain against illegtal immigration some on this board go the extra step and call me a racist against others that come here. I do not mention only that they threw it here on this board into my face. So like a good person I tend to give back to those fools who see me for what I am not. thanks for noticing though and keep up the good work.
blackhawks, yes I see here well in a Country of over 320 million human beings there are bound to be some bad apples in this mix don't you think? Two sides to every story. Some are very bad people, some are somewhat bad people and others are somewhat nice, yet others are very nice people. Guess what that is just the way life is today in our World, many facets of humanity make up the whole. Get used to it. Grow a pair.

newmedman, you have a point here as hospital cannot refuse to treat folks and money comes out of their donations from wealthy folks and others that help pay for this health care need. Understand all of that. Below are some articles perhaps you have overlooked again CA. leads the way if that is a good thing the jury is out. Wonder if they help poor white folks in CA. without insurance, no articles about that though are there? I guess they are all expected to pay for services rendered. Dem's this is you're life go live it up with others money. Geez enough already.

Zab, no real comment here except one article below did show Chicago as 10th but it is based on per 100,000 population in place. Per 100K folks. But they had highest number count wise on one of these below articles.

Thanks.
Zab, I am stating our leaders want us to become a third world nation because no other Country in the world can keep up with our laws and requirements for the environment for one nor the wages of poorer Countries. I did not say we are but we are getting there. Greece has declared bankruptcy how many times in recent history and had to be bailed out by the EU. Your other facts make sense to me after viewing them all. I am just saying these big picture things I speak of are not in your common news articles because when they want things done behind the scenes that is how they remain. Take care.
Honestly, I am not pleading ignorance at all I am just pointing out to you that no matter what your team here says, there are two sides to every argument, story, issue, law, decision, not just one side. When you build a fence how many sides are there to it? Two. When you go to a trial guess what there is a Prosecutor and a Defense Attorney, two sides. Toast has two sides, four actually. But these one sided positions you all take are not very healthy in my humble opinion as it totally stifles any debate on any subject matter, which does not help one grow in life. I look at things on the whole, not supporting or defending anyone here as none of these two teams represent me in this Country they are what the cards have dealt us all here. Just pointing out that you seem to olnly see one side of any situation here. You all do know that the last grass roots President was Jimmy Carter a good man and family. Prior to the age we are in of total hatred there used to be discussions in the Congress and Senate, now they attempt to outdo the other in getting in front of a microphone to blast each of the other sides to things for dramatic affect. They have found it works very well for them all. Sorry just saying there are always two sides to a discussion and subject. Lack of Debate turns to hate. Take care all.
Zab, it is true that the former President enjoys a lot of support from his base and others mind you. In no way could I possibly nor will I defend this person who has Government official documents some of which can be considered Secret and top Secret files at his home in Florida. I somehow do not see this person much as a reader, more like a scanner viewer type not reading all the details but seeing something he likes and then proceeds to keep it. Two possible things come to my mind here concerning this seemingly disregard to the maintenance of said documents those two things are this.
The person you are speaking about never held office anywhere let alone the Presidency of the U.S. and if no one informed him or instructed him how these documents were to be handled then it is very possibly he had no clue about that process. When if he asked if he could keep a document who is it that stood in his way and said no Mr. President you cannot keep this document there is a process you must follow as President. John Bolton early on was his National Security Advisor and then Robert O'Brien and if neither of these two made it happen or any other mouse in his realm then he just kept them that is how I see it. Weak instruction by measly mice around him that were afraid to tell him what needs to be done with said documents. The Second thing I think is perhaps he thought it was common to take said documents without proper direction having been given to him and he would return them at a much later date. I don't know the answer here but I see it as a overall failure of the folks in his Administration that either did not follow any rules concerning these documents and/or they themselves did not know either and would not tell the former President what he could and could not do. I see this person as one who would probably not save contractual documents that did not favor his company, and if it was some other gentleman's agreement I see a lack of disclosure that followed him to this Presidential position. Either way even in small business dealings there are documents that one keeps safe and maintains in a safe locked place for up to seven years. I think the former is the truth that no one dared to tell him what he could keep and not keep and that is a failure on their part not his as he had no clue what the procedure was. You cannot be dumb and stupid on the same subject matter you either know or you don't.
Sorry but for your gun violence comment and TN the gun laws in Chicago are one of the most strictest in our Nation and you all know what happens there every weekend death from gun violence. Violent people kill others, guns are the instrument they have found works best for them, they will still kill just harder method they would have to use. Also lawful people carrying guns also stop violence from happening or continuing when they take action immediately. the 2nd Amendment was if the Government got too big as in the Democrat method of handling things with Big Government where all are dependent on their continuous supply of pablum or drug money for them to use the purpose was to provide a method for you and me to defend ourselves against a possible tyrannical Government that does not have Americans back or the Country as their number one priority. When you do all the things that are going on supporting other Countries in their wars, paying illegals funds that are meant for American's, giving freedom to repeat offender criminals then it starts to appear tje rest of us, well we are simply all low on their priority listing.
This 2nd Amendment whether you like it or not protects you as well as everyone here.
Zab, he comparison that you provided seems to point out that this is OK in you’re parties mind and coming here illegally is just fine by your standards. So those who come here via airplane to our airports another point of entry to our Country there the rules must always apply, no question in you’re minds here on that subject. So why two sets of rules for the same process? Now back in the day when I was a child I saw many work visa type workers come to my small town and work in the fields from early summer to early October every year. I had no issue with them or for those that still do this today under a work visa whatever their profession happens to be. What you are forgetting in these equations is that management of our Country has assisted in this effort to have large swathes of folks from South America/Central America head north to our Country under the guise of declaring Amnesty and wanting to declare Asylum. I for one other than news accounts do not know the exact number of got away folks that have crossed our Southern Border as I am not there counting them as they flock across every day and night. Along with that process they have been informed if not by our leaders but more so their own family members that you can come to America work for cash and get all the medical and food stamps and education for your children as they have to take you into their Country. They all know this already so more come with these same requests by the thousands. Not a few hundred more but thousands from all over not just South/Central America. Chinese, African’s Cuban’s, Iranians, and many other Countries are doing so here. So once you get your head out of you know where you will see this is not the same as it was years ago the game has changed for some reason. What reason could it possibly be you may ask? Well one reason is they our great leaders have discovered that no one in their Countries can live up to all the requirements of competing with America nor with any climate accord agreements and pay scales or health coverage and medicine availability.
So our leaders have made the decision to make our Country a third world Country so that we have to bring our current level of stature in the world to their level or a level that they can tolerate the United States at in the current world. This lowers our cost of living it promotes more social programs for these folks where it used to be a safety net for American’s only, no longer is that the case. Look at the great Governor of CA. he gives all illegal folks free healthcare at the cost of guess who? You and me if we live in CA. that is. Why so many CA. folks are getting the heck out of that State they see what is going on here, you see some of them have a brain and understand those former resources they used to get now they do not get them and they are given over to illegal folks. This is the Party you belong to. There has got to be a better way. And all of your arguments that neither side has done anything to resolve it is true, they both stink at sitting on their hands because money is involved, and those folks in DC well they all love money especially for themselves, what is in it for me…
Our leaders should be going to these Countries and making deals with them like the number of illegal immigrants who come to America there is a penalty of $1million dollars per adult person and $2 million for every child under 18 years of age. These amounts will be taken from the free money our Federal Government gives to you’re Country now in handouts. Otherwise straighten up your Countries and play by the rules and you get the full amount moving forward, you don’t money is gone with possibility it will be totally gone if you mess up continually. Or some such penalty be imposed on these Countries who continually violate our U.S. Laws.
Again I am not against legal immigration policy where the overall count of folks is set at say 100,000 per year plus any legal valid work visas being allowed. Something like this.
It is hard to debate with one if you believe it is ok over here to do x, y, x. but over here at the airports you have to follow these controls. Now only difference to me is at the airport at least they have name and a document which match a person up and an idea of where they are headed to, instead of zero documents and no clue where they are heading to. You cannot have it both ways here when the system is set up the same for each entry point. Illegal immigration because it has happened for years is OK with this board when all along it was wrong. Just saying. What rules/laws do you think these folks will follow once set up in America if they broke the law into coming here illegally do you know that answer to that one? Due to ignorance of our laws and rules only, some will take advantage fully of it without penalty as our law enforcement have criminals to go after. That is a whole other subject matter.
By they way I do not appreciate folks stating because I want legal immigration that I am some racist person, that could not be further from the truth here in my case for sure. It is like me calling you racist against folks who fly into this Country to immigrate or work on visas. Thanks.
By the way Zab that was war time and they were after a bad leader in Germany attempting to ruin everyone's life in Europe. Different circumstances for sure and those folks had a much tougher time in coming to America as well back then. I agree we are a Melting Pot of the World's people and I like it that way it is just rules are made to be followed and immigration is one that I believe is a big question mark on how our Government is handling it.
Zab, I appreciate your smart comments here from you’re post back to me about illegal immigration.
You stated “They could not even fly in the first place, you cannot get on a plane without papers in Russia, China or Pakistan". Which I really appreciate you’re bringing this to everyone’s attention and actually makes my argument for me unwittingly as it may have been on your part here. Your great friends here on the board also were sleeping when you posted this perfect reply to coming to America legally, they did not protect you from yourself.
So in essence folks who fly to any U.S. international airport have to bring with them their current legal passport, current proper visa’s as appropriate for their travel and their person identification and other personal affects. This is so true. I agree with you wholeheartedly here.
o now we all know the difference between coming here Legally and coming here Illegally. Those who have simply crossed our borders of which over 800K of them have gotten away from authorities and from Biden’s leaking or I mean secure border location’s with Kamala at the helm heading up this American secure points of entry, means none of those folks that came here had any proper documentation nor presented it to anyone of authority like say at an Airport, or was not seen by any law enforcement or border security forces as in the case of an international airport situation where they would be directed back to their Country of Origin on the next available flight if they had no said documentation a requirement to enter our Country legally..
You have made my case very well here for these two scenarios of activity.
Thank you and keep up the good work here on this subject to inform those that seem to not understand the difference for each entry point to keep America safe, as that is what it is really all about the safety of our Country and I know all on this board are all about the safety of the United States as it relates to undesirable’s coming here without any ID whatsoever as to where they came from, or who they are or their vaccination status and what they are carrying in their bags and if they have any illnesses that America has fought off with our own great medical advancements.. Some things they carry I have heard it appears to be a deadly drug that kills American’s in our Country.
Zab can’t thank you enough here for the great insight on this subject. Next………….
Please delete this post you do not like any of my previous sources on this subject matter so it does not matter. Get rid of it, do your job. Legally too.
Yes two former gatherings at his home in January and June, where they gathered what they needed. Now of a of a sudden it’s big news???? Must be an election coming soon?? A lot of folks need to be in jail but the NYC DA snd Lis Angelo’s DA disagree they want all dangerous criminals released. He should move back to NYC he would be released by that DA in minutes. But hey gosh forbid I give anyone solid advice on this subject I know nothing about right folks.
Endowments for United States Universities, I have been told Harvard can have students come infinitely and never have to pay any tuition due to their huge endowment $$. I too can be bought but it will take more than $10K for my vote Joey, tapioca Joe that is.

Yes I understand and Al’s understand the direction they have all been schooled on what to say when they come to our borders. They should be applying for such criteria from their home Countries or from Mexico. Let me ask all you smart folks on this board a question. If one hundred folks from Russia, China, and Pakistan flew into JFK without any documents as to who they are and with no visas nor any way to have someone to support them in this Country would they be let in?
You are very far from my own truth. Do not place your words in my mouth thank you. You must have some other pent up guilt here. I like laws to be followed whether they are green, white, black, brown, blue. I do not care. We either have a nation of laws or we have no Country. If they know they can break this law then others are up to them to follow them or not, usually at the pain of others who have helped pay their way in our society and asked for nothing in return. Sad for Americans for that I would agree.
Sorry, Zab. Spellcheck stinks.
San I post about illegal immigration all day long do to personal experiences. Doing nothing about it in DC is a big issue. I think the Republicans wanted a secured border before they would look at said reforms, a cop out for sure. One can do both at the same time and get relief moving. What we have today does not work. Currently they have found polio in water treatment facilities in NY and more such occurrences will happen as well as these poorer nations do not have the same regimen of shots American kids get which has all but eliminated these diseases and viruses from our midst. Look for a huge uptick in common disease we have beaten back over the years that storm is coming next. Can’t wait. Where’s Fauci at fighting to tighten up our borders or the CDC to prevent this up snd coming tragedy. Oh that’s right they could careless they are science. Forget the human element. What is their point of existence if anyone can simply walk across the border with diseases???? Foolishness, Government = same thing.
I agree both parties have dragged their feet for years concerning this process. Process is not a Government strongpoint. Where it takes one person to do a task in the private sector it takes five in Government to do these same tasks. And as well over time it should become more streamlined due to constant processes and computers to speed operations up. But I agree with you people need to work to live and pay other folks college payments. So both parties are to blame here fully.
I was upset with that as well, we all must learn to live on our own without Government hand outs. Both are equally bad policies, American's know how to survive and thrive on our own, don't need these handouts which we end up paying for in Taxes and Inflation which affect all of us, and they in charge know it does. No, both were wrong policies. Not just this latest spending spree.
newmedman, sorry to jump in here but you mentioned something I think must be corrected here in what you stated, perhaps for forgot one word that should have been used in your below comments.
"you are not going to fuck it up for me because you don't like immigrants"
Not speaking for "conix" here but for me it would be ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, I myself
have no issue with folks who came here and followed the U.S. Immigration Legal process. You guys are always spouting about following the law and how the other party is always breaking the law. In this case ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are breaking our law and is what I have an issue with for our Country, not the IMMIGRANTS who followed the rules and did all the paperwork to come here legally. But those who came here legally are called immigrants, others are not at all immigrants in the term you are using here. Thank you for understanding there is a difference even to those who followed the proper process to come here, they dislike the illegal alien invaders as well. Conix sorry to have jumped in here really none of my business.

Taxes going up again, pretty soon like our dumb Government we will have nothing more to pay for taxes from our paychecks.
Moving an individual's own debt/loan payments from borrower to taxpayer does nothing but put the burden on the rest of hard-working taxpaying American’s who more than likely already paid their own student debts off or never had any and don’t want any. Why should someone who never made more than $60K per year pay taxes for someone who did not save or payback their loans they took out if they make less than $125K per year. Those folks never made that much money and should not pay for other folks debts. The move the Government pays for you the more they WILL CONTROL YOU. Votes anyone? Student loan payments magically will start to be paid after this fall's elections, in December. How nice is that. What is Hunter’s burden we are already paying for now I thought that was already too much money to have Americans’ pay for here.
I am going out in San Francisco tonight and get Pelosied up and drive home drunk, heck I make a good salary I understand the cops there don’t’ charge rich folks for driving drunk and injuring folks, so I will give that a shot tonight. White Privilege all the way for Mr. Pelosi who got Pelosied. His punishment is he has to go home to Nancy, that is painful enough for anyone to deal with. No wonder he’s drinking all that insider trading money is going to his liver and he has to face that in the morning when she is around.

A Brief History of Automotive Performance Chips
By exploring a brief history of automotive performance chips, we can better understand why this innovative technology continues to push the industry forward. Truck and automobile owners who want more power in their vehicle turn to performance chips to deliver that punch. People who enjoy owning these devices should have some background on how they came to be. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you will have a better appreciation for performance chips and vehicle manufacturing as a whole.
Engine Control Unit
Volkswagen was the first automobile manufacturer to use performance chips in their vehicles. In 1968, the German company introduced the very first vehicle with computer-controlled electronic fuel injection (EFI). In response to tougher emission standards from the government, Volkswagen’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) grew to become a standard piece of equipment in most vehicles. It uses a closed-loop control that monitors the system’s outputs and inputs, managing the emissions and fuel economy.
GM’s Computer Command Control System
Going forward with our brief history of automotive performance chips, in 1976, General Motors announced its partnership with Motorola Semiconductors. The two would create a microcomputer for their vehicles. By 1981, every GM vehicle had a new Computer Command Control System (CCC). It contained a Motorola 8-bit microprocessor.
Ford Joins
Intel and Ford started a venture in 1983 to build ECUs using custom Intel 8061 microcontroller chips. They later used the 8065, 83251, 8051, and 80515. They found special success with the 8061 microcontroller, as it was used in most Ford automobiles from 1983 to 1994.
Today
The average vehicle today has anywhere between 50 and 150 chips. Electric cars, however, are total outliers. They can contain up to 3,000 chips.

Nowadays, we take computerized engine controls for granted, but it wasn’t too terribly long ago that vehicle engines were entirely mechanical devices — everything was done with good old-fashioned moving parts. So when, exactly, did cars start using computers? The answer is a lot more complicated than I expected (which explains why this article is so damn long). Ready? Here we go.
Er, before we begin, I know it’d be easy to call me out on the definition of computer; after all, one could, I suppose, consider the valve body of an automatic transmission to be a fluid-operated computer (and a rather fascinating one at that). So for the sake of this conversation, let’s consider a computer to be an electronic number-crunching device with components that cannot be fixed with hand tools.
Let’s Start With the Spark
I began my search for the first engine control computer by focusing on the ignition system. Today, most cars have distributor less ignition systems that fire individual coils connected to the plugs. A crankshaft position sensor provides orientation, the computer decides exactly when to fire each plug, and POW! Near as I can tell, it was General Motors that gave the distributor less system its start; they introduced DIS in several cars for the 1987 model year. Before that, the state of the art was the electronically-controlled distributor.
Now, I know there are a few whippersnappers out there who have no idea what could possibly have come before solid-state ignitions, so I’m going to sit back in my rocking chair, pull my afghan up over my lap, grab hold of my tea mug with both hands and tell you about point-breaker ignitions.
Er, What’s a Distributor Again?
You’re probably familiar with the basics of the distributor, but in case you aren’t, it’s a round gizmo that has a single wire going to the coil (the device that cranks up the voltage to fire the spark plugs) and separate wires leading to the plugs themselves. Inside the distributor, there’s a spinning whirligig called the rotor that literally distributes electricity to each spark plug wire in turn.
In a point-breaker ignition, a little opening-and-closing gizmo riding against a cam on the distributor shaft makes and breaks the connection that causes the coil to fire. The spark is advanced (made to come earlier in the combustion process) by both centrifugal weights on the distributor shaft (which alters the orientation of the spinning rotor as the distributor spins faster) and, in most cases, vacuum from the carburetor. One of the problems of these early point-breaker ignitions is that the points wear out quickly; hence the need for frequent tune-ups. Back in the Good Old Days, the points had to be checked, cleaned and/or changed and the ignition system fine-tuned every 10,000 miles or so just to keep the engine running decently.
Electronics to the Rescue
The first big electronic improvement was the breaker less (a.k.a. electronic) ignition, which used a magnetic or optical sensor on the distributor shaft, instead of the points, to trigger the coil. Electronic ignitions increased tune-up times and spark plug life (to 50,000 miles or so) and reduced emissions. (They are said to make engines easier to cold-start, though my old ’69 Dodge has a point-breaker ignition and I’ve never had much of a problem.) Electronic ignitions were initially developed in the late 1940s and were offered as an option on some GM vehicles in the early 1960s. FIAT offered the first standard-fit electronic ignition in the ’68 Dino, but that wasn’t sold in the US; the 1971 Jaguar XJ, which also had it, was. Chrysler made electronic ignition standard in 1973; GM, Ford and AMC followed in 1975. But, alas, for us this is nothing more than a red herring, because electronic ignitions aren’t necessarily computerized — they simply replace a few moving parts with more reliable and less maintenance-intensive components.
However, tightening emissions standards brought computers into our ignition systems soon after breaker-less distributors. Primitive computers determined the optimum spark timing for a given situation, and they applied vacuum to the distributor to advance the ignition timing as needed. Several cars of this era had “feedback” carburetors that allowed on-the-fly adjustment of the fuel mixture based on feedback from the oxygen sensor. (Mercifully, simple throttle-body fuel injection systems came soon after. I owned two cars with feedback carburetors, and they were a nightmare.)
The Dawn of Computerized Ignitions
I figured this was where I would find those first computers, so I started digging in earnest. I found that while GM developed new computerized systems for the 1981 model year and Ford installed its first EEC (Electronic Engine Control) system on the 1978 Lincoln Versailles, it was Chrysler — which, believe it or not, was once known for technical innovation — that beat them both by introducing its Electronic Lean-Burn System on select 1976 models. (ELBS turned out to be its own special brand of misery, which is why Chrysler ceased to be known for technical innovation and began to be known for cars that took three or four tries to start.)
So was Electronic Lean Burn the first computerized engine control system for cars?
Nope. Not even close.
Forget Spark; Let’s Talk Fuel
I was surprised to learn that the first computerized systems involved not ignition or feedback carburetors, but electronic fuel injection — and they were available a heck of a lot earlier than I ever would have guessed. Believe it or not, the first commercially available electronic fuel injection system was offered in 1957…or at least that was the plan.
Mechanical fuel injection had been used in aircraft engines almost since the dawn of powered flight, and General Motors offered mechanical injection as an option on the 1957 283 V8 — a mere coincidence as far as our story is concerned, because that system wasn’t electronic.
Bendix’s Ill-Fated Electrojector
Around the same time, Bendix developed a fuel injection system with a transistorized electronic control system, which they called Electrojector. It was the first electronic fuel injection system (EFI) designed for a production car, and the it was supposed to make its debut as a $395 option on American Motors Corporation’s 1957 Rambler Rebel. AMC did build a few injected Rebels as pre-production models, but the system turned out to be so troublesome that none were installed on customer cars. The option was on the order forms; apparently it was too late to strike it when AMC realized just how lousy the system was. No production Rebels were made with Electrojector.
Chrysler offered Electrojector on a handful of 1958 models, and unlike AMC, they went so far as to build 35 production cars — except that once they figured out how badly the system worked, all 35 cars were retrofitted with carburetors. Can we count them as the first computerized cars to be sold to the public? I’d say that’s open to debate.
Germany to the Rescue!
Nearly a decade later, Bosch perfected their Jetronic electronic fuel injection system, which used date from a pressure sensor as well as engine speed to control the fuel injection rate. Jetronic was indeed a computer-based system, and it worked. Bosch licensed it to several automakers; the first to put it into production was Volkswagen, in the 1968 Type III Fastback and Squareback. VW ran ads saying goodbye to the carburetor and touting the Type III as the first car with its own computer — a notable attribute in the days when most computers also required their own rooms.
So instead of one clear answer, we have three possibilities: 1957 Rambler, 1958 Chrysler or 1968 Volkswagen. Which car should lay claim to the title of first computer? Or, do you have your own ideas? Tell us what you think in the comments section.
