    Ever wonder how politicians read all the BS that is included in a submitted bill and make a decision accordingly. Reader's Digest condensed version?

    Found this interesting when doing some illegal migrant research. In the mid 90s California tried to pass a law that had bipartisan support. The law would have come down very had on illegals and was sent to a federal judge when challenged.

    Even in massive liberal America, the federal judge stated the below.

    “The California voters’ overwhelming approval of Proposition 187 reflects their justifiable frustration with the federal government’s inability to enforce the immigration laws effectively,” she wrote at the time. “No matter how serious the problem may be, however, the authority to regulate immigration belongs exclusively to the federal government and state agencies are not permitted to assume that authority. The state is powerless to enact its own scheme to regulate immigration or to devise immigration regulations which run parallel to or purport to supplement the federal immigration laws.”


    That ruling should be hammered home by Republicans..wield that ruling.

    So they say our higher drug prices, compared to other countries, amounts to us paying for research. I call total BS on that. American tax payers were subsidizing their socialist health care systems in many countries. Canada and England must be having fits.

    Trump/Saudi just finished a $600 BILLION deal ..... the Dow is back at 42K (give or take), the other two markets are doing good also ... countries are lining up for trade 'deals', the border illegal entries > the lowest EVER, and no more trannies in my Military .. none of these successes would have happened if Biden/Harris/dems won, the country would still be land sliding ... the dems are imploding, heck, whats not to like ..

    Trump, Crown Prince Sign $600B Economic Deal

    I thought I read today/yesterday, Feds were suing California, as they may have been providing (federally funded) public assistance to illegal aliens...

    Congress wants a raise and are complaining that have not had one since 2009. Well lets take a look since 2009.

    Debt accumulated 25 Trillion since 2009
    3 of the must unproductive congress since 2009
    After this current one it will be 4.
    Ethics violations, misconduct, corruption scandals and abuse of power.
    Congress members seem to be more worried about social media than doing their job
    Failure to govern we have not had a complete Budget since 1990's

    They don't want a raise they just want to keep the status quo, so they can keep cashing in on those stock trades.

    I'd like to see their networth from 2009 compared to their 2024 networth, then subtract 15 years base salary. That difference is the only raise they should need.

    Not to mention the savings from legislation passed that they exempt themselves from. Obamacare etc....

    Watch the Fall of Minneapolis and learn why Chauvin should be pardoned. The picture is 100% BS and the media knows it.

    Germ, you and I can agree here. The secret is they always get a raise, unless they vote not to get a raise, because they voted many years ago to make them automatic. That is why every politician you hear say they will not vote for raises is a liar. They also receive pre-2006 healthcare benefits, while every American pays post-Obamacare high premiums for even higher deductibles.

    Operation vote out 75% of congress by 2030. That and keep reducing the size of the federal government.

    Pro sports teams will fire you 2 yrs after winning a championship yet we keep these clowns in Congress for 15 more years.

    It's nice to see we have a real president again. It is very sad that the rest of our governmental branches can not get their acts together. The problem is they forgot they were suppose to be working for the American population as a WHOLE not just for their own political party or Personal benefit.

    May I ask what is your areas " normal"? That's an honest question, not snarky.
