Oh

IF Pete Hegspeth, T. Gabbard, Mike Walz, RFK, JD Vance, Trump, Musk, and Fox News don’t induce the feeling of vomiting your guts out, I simply don’t know what could.

Listened to Chris Wallace at our speaker series last evening and he was honest, humorous and very worried about the current state of our nation as well we should all be , particularly considering the latest developments and the immoral operatives trying to blame Goldberg.

Spoken like a true Leftist sledge hammer wielder....destroy anything/everything that is connected to Trump's administration.

On a lighter note amid the chaos: I love the Swedish Ivy story. I have tons of house plants and now need a Swedish Ivy, of course, as sort of a protest. 🌱👊🏼

No truer thing could be said, specially considering the Signalgate issues going on. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/sorry-to-do-this-to-you-all-it-is

Thanks, Gage,

Like everything else, ivy doesn't live forever. Mine is looking sad outside.

Next, keeping the tax cuts IS the status quo, letting them expire is cutting expenditures. Hello. Though it IS a lot. That's true. You want to pay more? I can't believe what we pay now for them to blow all this money on USAID and more. I'm tired of supporting an enormous leftist bureaucracy and agenda. The federal government should spend money on NEUTRAL programs. Military, infrastructure, "entitlements" we paid into. Cut the waste, leave the tax cuts in place.

I cannot imagine why this is a bigger scandal than Bengazi, or Afghanistan where the idiot incompetency cost real American lives. And it IS TRUE, that my phone has changed names and phone numbers. My phone AND email changed our partners name from Tom Wietor to Tom Rozich, another contact I had. Tom Wietor's phone number. Same with another friend of mine. That WOULD mean that the phone number must have been there unless his staff had it somewhere. The mixed information didn't come out of the blue. Goldberg is a jerk and someone who has fully lied in the past, so this coming from him does not inspire confidence. I think he is leaving off that somewhere in there, they say some of this they will discuss on a higher level exchange or some such language. Not reported by Goldberg, of course. And with computers, people get hacked into all the time and weird stuff happens, so you can't totally rule that out. Signal IS used by CIA and other government confidential information. They may need a better system. I am sure it won't happen again. Hillary Clinton and the Biden administration did this stuff purposely, not by mistake. Hillary Clinton knowingly made an illegal server in her bathroom. LOL. So everybody should chill over this. Not sure if someone is getting fired yet. Possibly.

I do know Medicaid gets abused because my son told me students could get it at least for a while here in Michigan and that he did it for a couple months and it bothered him so much, he stopped. That's nonsense. Not sure if that is still the case, but that kind of stuff needs cutting out. Lots of Medicaid and SSI fraud, and obviously lots of fraud in all these programs.

Let's see, arguing over all this is good. Concensus on everything is bad and not normal in politics or science. Any critical thinker knows this. So I think they'll reach a good bill.

Thanks for posting the details of congress issues. I DO like that about your posts. You have clarified things for me a couple times.

Woops, sorry, GABE. Typo there.

I feel you tend to be quite a literate apologist for things that the republicans would turn into NAPALM. Gabe's logic on tax cuts for the wealthy is sound. I don't feel you need to correct Gabe, or liberal comments, so much...just enjoy the ride!

I feel you tend to be quite overbearing. I am not "correcting" Gabe, I'm giving my opinion. That's why these things blogs exist. Nothing like a liberal to pedal hyperbole and hysteria and try to silence people who might give people another point of view to consider. Napalm, please.
