Yeah, and who ran Texas back then? And who ran the federal government? States rights my a**…
hard to remember back that far back but somehow or another the answer has to be sleepy Joe and the communist state of Texas.
At least she is wearing the right hat even though she doesn't have a clue about how to achieve the slogan.I disagree, and not just for the easy bait that AOC is incompatible with the GOP to a pretty hilarious degree. It's simply that then she would not be AOC neither in character or person, and it is exactly because the activist base of the left believes she will fight the GOP for them is why she is surging for the leftwing. In a certain sense it makes sense, the activist base of the left, though I certainly don't agree with their ideology and political vision for religious reasons and would be more favorable to one like Stephen A. Smith, it's what the far left wants, and the democrat party it is their party, and they want someone that they trust and know will be their champion and fight for them no matter how crazy it seems, and you know what, fair enough, that's kinda the point of representative democracy.
But of course, for the sake of the meme, here you go:
Bro, this is interesting to people who work in this field since it’s nothing major it seems.
Do you know how many news about UFOs I see on my news feeds daily? At least 2 or 3. None of them worth mentioning in the UFO topic I have created in this forum under the Miscellaneous section.
This news about this thing called A11PL3Z is about as interesting as if I talked to you about my job in computers and how to package software for deployment in 10,000 computers and everyone will fall asleep.
You know what might be more interesting to talk about? How would you fix the downtime in this forum which crashes from time to time due to host-related issues.
That would be more of an interesting discussion compared to this object in space doing space things.
Sorry i did not respond until now. I understand and so here is it's live feed from the virtual telescope of the object for anyone interested. I cannot yet see it with my telescope but this is a live feed from Brazil. Host error is causing errors from CC so enjoy it from night to night from the live feed. click on the live feed and then to full screen https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/webtv/
I need to correct an error I made in that this feed was not from Brazil but instead Manciano Italy.
Finally. Something better than Biden's festivities with mental health patients on White House grounds.
A chance back to normalcy.
A chance back to normalcy.
Nothing says return to normalcy and mental health in this topsy turvy world like a UFC fight on the grounds of the Whitehouse.
Fingers crossed if what Trump is doing we should start to see the debt being paid down in the last year or two of his Presidency. I know it don't seem like it but right now he is working on deficit spending to get it down or even where revenue and expenditures are a wash.
His first plan was tariffs. A lot of people have complained and predicted we would see prices rise and it effect consumers which we really are not seeing. For years folks have complained that companies are making record profits and they should be taxed more. That is what the tariffs are for. The tariff rate is small enough that companies are eating the cost. They are doing so because they can't afford to price themselves out of their market.
For years people have complained that companies have been raising prices for their profit margin. There may be some actual truth to this complaint since companies are eating the tariffs and able to do so because of their current profit margin. So effectively folks are actually getting what they have been asking for companies to be taxed more. The tariffs are taxing companies on both sides of exporting and importing. What this means for government is they now have additional revenue.
The next part will be a new fed chairman one who will lower interest rates. Then Treasury will begin to do more buybacks and retire higher debt cost with a lower debt cost. Since debt servicing is now the second highest line item after social security. Lower cost to service the debt will shrink the deficit for that line item.
Government paying off it's debt is not like personal debt which is made up of revolving debt such as credit cards and collateralized debt such as home loans and car loans and etc. Personal debt we can just pay off the balance.
Government debt they can not do that because it is bonds and they are non callable or a fancy word that means they can't pay it off early they have to per the agreement pay it out over the term and at maturity. The time period it was sold for 4 weeks to 30 years. Treasury bills are sold for a time period from 4 weeks to one year. They are zero coupon bonds. The coupon is interest government bonds pay or interest every 6 months or twice a year. This is known as the coupon.
T-Bills are zero coupon bonds they pay no interest over the life of them. They are sold at a discount then pay the face value. What they do is if the bond yields 5% interest they discount the bond price and pay the face value. If you buy a $100 bond at 5% you pay $95 and receive $100 at maturity. Longer term bonds you get the every six month coupon and then a balloon payment or the face value at maturity.
So anyway all that to say they can't just pay down the debt like we would with personal loans since their debt is noncallable. So to pay off the debt they have to pay off the bond at maturity and retire that debt.
It's just the normal human pendulum swinging. Gay sex and drugs in the WH a few years ago swings to UFC. Now is the time mid-swing so enjoy it. Though UFC can be fun too.
Wait, What? This is Barack Obama's Independence Day Message? | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

IOW, fundamentally changing America has gotten relegated to the trash can but he'll continue to spew it in flowery words while others work on repairing the damage. He's irrelevant and should be before a tribunal.
Happy July 4th! See how much for America has turned around in one year, see how far we came from last Summer. America has been officially renewed and granted one more political season of existence on lock in many many ways and levels, spiritual, economically, politically, culturally, and more, even as we said and believed last Summer, praise Jesus.
Obama stated that the constitution gets in his way. He also mentioned people clinging to their guns and bibles were a problem. Only in America would a muzzy be elected 7 years after 9/11.
Does anybody know what happens when a debt limit is too high?
Because i've heard this political bait since Reagan.
Here's what "ai" says:
But as we've learned from the financial collapse of 2008, there's a difference between reality and theory.
I mean, United States is accountable to who in terms of debt? To China? Don't make me laugh. What are the Chinese gonna do? Invade the United States so they can collect money? lol
And what does this even mean? What does debt mean to people in practicality? Increase in taxes? Taxes increase even when the debt is balanced, so what is it?
@Texasgal do you know anything about this?

Just print more money. Its what they do since Nixon took the country off the gold standard. How many million did Obama send to Iran? Did that increase the nation debt? I dont think so.
We are accountable to those who buy the bonds and loan us money. Already they are either redeeming their bonds or moving from ten year to short term like six months to 2 years. This indicates a decrease in trust.
If no one buys the bonds then we have to print the money and that is when inflation takes off to Venezuela levels. No one wants your bonds if you have high inflation, if no one loans us money we are no longer the reserve currency and our standard of living will be drastically cut.
