More of your fair share:
Additional funding for the US Capitol Police: The law provides an additional $132 million for the Capitol Police for a total of nearly $735 million. It will allow the department to hire up to 137 sworn officers and 123 support and civilian personnel, bringing the force to a projected level of 2,126 sworn officers and 567 civilians.
Round numbers: $225,000 per employee. This is just for DC. Who couldn’t handle a few dozen protesters wanting to enter the Capitol Building. The Police Chief resigned the next day, and wrote a book. Courage Under Fire
How much was he paid for that? 10 million? 20 million? All perfectly legal. Your fair share.Part of 1.7 trillion dollar budget:
Funding for January 6 attack prosecutions: The law provides $2.6 billion for US Attorneys, which includes funding efforts “to further support prosecutions related to the January 6 attack on the Capitol and domestic terrorism cases,” according to a fact sheet from the House Appropriations Committee.
Attack? Seen worse at Waffle House.
2.6 billion to support further prosecutions. They are not done yet.

“Let me be clear, Title 42 or not, the border is not open,” Mayorkas said during the press conference in Washington. ”
Ok. Now make that clear to all the millions of people crossing the boarder illegally.
The drones that Russia uses are priced at around $20,000 per unit, while a surface-to-air missile from Ukraine’s arsenal ranges from $140,000 for a Soviet-era S-300 to $500,000 for a US-supplied NASAM system, he said.
Russia pays $20,000 per drone. Ukraine pays nothing for $500,000 US supplied missile. There, fixed it for you.
@Dr. D:
No more journalists, only activists. That’s why they can’t spell, talk, listen, or use logic.
Turley: According to published excerpts, President Joe Biden is denying an account of the Secret Service about an agent being attacked by his German Sheppard, Major, at the White House.
Yes.
@John Day
I suggest that non-compliant people have more car-accidents in general. COVID-vaccination propaganda was aimed at the highest-compliance group in the US, college educated, white women.
Weren’t these US, college educated, white women the same group that was squishing their children between the bumper of their brand new BMWs and the garage wall? They couldn’t tell the brake pedal from the gas pedal?
After Hunter was placed under investigation for, among other possible charges, tax evasion, Morris reportedly paid off as much as $2.8 million in back taxes for Hunter.
Paid off? Wouldn’t that be a taxable event for Hunter?? You mean “loaned” don’t you? Because the adult child of a sitting President should be given money because they are the adult child of a sitting President? Nothing to see here, folks. You think an attorney in San Francisco has $2.8 million dollars lying (heh,heh) around? 2.8 mill after tax? Or is it part of a retainer from some Ukrainian National? Which probably is not a legal thing to do? I will have to ask Mr. Avernatti about that the next time I see him.

Washington is about to send another security assistance package to Kiev,
So let me get this straight. If I buy an AR15, I own an assault weapon? But if Biden sends AR15s to Ze, they are “security assistance packages”?US to collect $2.6 trillion dollars in Income taxes for 2022. Record set due to raises in pay throughout workforce.
Excise tax. Federal and state. Taxes virtually every good and service.
Don’t take your inherited distribution on time? 50% penalty.
Food? Taxed.
Sell a piece of real estate? Taxed.
Clothes on your back? Taxed.
Die (from Covid) taxed.
Drive a car? Fuel, oil, tires, spare parts all taxed.- both excise tax and sales tax.
Glad everyone is paying their fair share.
People, this is your money they are taking! You worked hard for it, spent time away from your home, put up with difficult or dangerous circumstances, lost opportunities to do other things you would have preferred.Blew holes in the sand all over the world with your money. Rockets that you pay $1500 a pound for- they weigh over 500 pounds-do the math. Blowing up infrastructure all over the world. Trillions of dollars of your hard earned money. With no end of spending in sight. Not moving your country ahead one inch. What is the most expensive thing you have in your home right now? That little Ukrainian flag you have hanging in your front window!
Also. I don’t believe any violence was perpetrated against the Federal Agents that went to people’s houses to arrest them long after January 6? They went along willingly, or at least without putting up any resistance. They were located by their personal data- that stuff that is personal? You know, private? Until the companies that you pay for services- cell phone, credit card, your bank coordinate and give all of your personal information to the government in order for you to be tracked down, arrested, and held without charges. In prison. In solitary confinement.
I cannot believe this all happened. In the USA.

Greta’s newest water transportation sled: “A RACE WE MUST WIN” – being still tested
That boat looks like fossil fuel made all of it?
Shouldn’t Greta be sailing along on some Kon Tiki 2? What a wonderful adventure that was. When the Nat Geo was still the Nat Geo. And we didn’t have 16 year olds as our oracles?

I will say it again, and plainly. There is a Cabal explicitly dedicated to the erasure of humankind by any and all means at their disposal.
I disagree. Their is no Cabal. Just SMI people who have coincidentally risen to power.

IRS
About 90% of yearly tax returns are filed electronically. Today, the IRS still allows taxpayers to file paper returns. If all taxpayers did file paper returns, how long would it take for the IRS to process them? Asking for a friend.
Boeing. Now wants to put Acme rocket motor on glide bomb.-Wiley E. Coyote
GBU 39 bombs have checkered past. Boeing execs in charge at that time sent to federal prison. Corruption.
In 2002, while Boeing and Lockheed Martin were competing to develop the Small Diameter Bomb, Darleen A. Druyun – at that time Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Management – deleted the requirement for moving target engagement, which favored Boeing. She was later convicted of violating a conflict of interest statute.- Wiki
She became Boeing employee. Unit cost of bomb alone in 2015 was $115,000 per. Her salary at Boeing was $250,000 a year with $50,000 signing bonus.-Wiki. Then got her daughter and son in law jobs at Boeing.- Wiki
War is a racket.
@Dr. D
I was going to say before, America is so large we could probably feed Belgium with loose deer getting smashed in the suburbs where you’re not allowed to hunt. (But safely could with a bow)
Now you with the bow? What is this with the bow? The Indians gave that sh*t up as soon as they got their Winchesters!
Safely? Look at accidents suffered by bowhunters. Hunting is not “safe”. Ever. That is why people do it. You want safe? I give you the internet.
And you sir, are one of my favorite people on the internet. JHK, RIM, Dr.D.
Did I ever tell you about the time my cousin got his index finger bitten clean through by a 5 pound feral hog? Lemme tell you.

Your first video is not an archer, but a bluesman. Intentional?@Red
Ishi staggered into town-Chico, California, the last of his people, the Yana. Had it not been for the current interest in archery nation-wide, he would not have come under the care and comfort of Mr.’s Pope and Young. His band of 125 people had been decimated by the white settlers, who had hunted them down and murdered them for sport and profit.I recall that at the same time Ishi referred to the people inhabiting nearby Yosemite valley as “the people who sometimes eat people”.
Medieval weapons are no match for modern firearms, but it was ultimately not guns or steel that did Ishi in. It was germs.
“I go. You stay.” His last words.
In the hands of skillful and strong archers, bows can produce a similar rate of fire as semi-automatic weapons, and they can outperform guns and pistols
No. Hell no.

““300,000 pieces of arctic warfare kit.”
300,000 pieces? Like “Mitten: Left” and “Mitten: Right”?
Was thinking the same thing, but socks. “My Mittens”. Buy the right mitten for $1,000 and get the left mitten absolutely free! Plus shipping and handling. Make your check or money order out to:DNC
In Phoenix, AZ, the streetcar rail was torn out by government, and countless roads paved, to facilitate autos. Without streetcars, the people were more inclined to purchase autos.

@phoenixvoice
Sounds like your son might be in someone’s crosshairs at school. Read Bureaucratic Insanity if you haven’t. Too many suspensions for “behavior”. Sounds like he is smart enough. Just not interested in his required tasks. Have him watch Mr, Carlson’s Lab on Youtube-with you. See if that piques his interest. If so, buy him a soldering iron and buy him an electronic kit to make. Cars, too. Mechanics Special. He is old enough.Watch Dave Casler with him on Youtube. See if that resonates with him. You are you, and he is who he is. Sounds like he is bored.
I did not like school. I did not like college. Subjects not interesting (college prep, so no Vocational Education for me!)
I found something I liked to do. Bootstrapped myself. First year in my own business, I paid more in Federal Income Tax than my father had ever grossed working as an Educational Administrator. (BA, MA- Principal/Superintendent) best time of my life. Enjoyed the work- hands and brain.
Give your boy exposure to all of these things. More arrows in his quiver.
My 2 cents. You sound like a great parent. You must die a little every time something like you mentioned happens to your child. I know I did.
The crew here totally loathes all things Western , for all it’s faults I would rather live here in the West.
No. The crew here does not totally loathe all things Western. Why would all of them/us feel that way? Or do I misunderstand your use of the term, crew?
As a result, his IEP was not being followed by the school, and he has been suspended repeatedly rather than being disciplined according to the “behavioral intervention plan” which was referenced by his IEP.
Where is your son testing grade-wise? Having an IEP would indicate to me that he is testing below level in more than one area? Suspended repeatedly? Can you put a number to that remark? Does the district policy have expulsion as a result of too many suspensions in one semester or year?
Did he have an IEP in elementary school too? A part of IEP’s in elementary school is small groups. Again to try to catch them up. How did he do? He is doodling in study hall rather than doing real work. That could possibly raise the teachers concerns.
Being a teenager is a hard job. Divorced parents? Terribly hard. I have seen a 5th grader zombiefied over his parents divorce. Ruined. How will he be a few more years from now? Maybe he still won’t care. 50/50 custody? No stability. Two sets of rules. Both parents remarried? He is a stranger in a strange land.
Multiple suspensions with zombie drawings. So he gets suspended again. Plausible.
@Dr.D
Yes, but he misses that is WHY they give him standing ovations. You can’t look at it from a normal, rational mind. They are insane, bloodthirsty, religious warmongers.
Yes! SMI. Severe Mental Illness. Cannot be explained rationally.
They lie to you to manipulate you.
They manipulate you to humiliate you.
They humiliate you to control you.
They control you to hurt you.
Destroy you? Good hurt.
Destroy you and your family? Better hurt.
Destroy you, your family, your way of life? Best hurt.Every. Single. Time.
You have been listening to too much Russian historical revisionism.
Refo. Abo.
It would seem no ones hands are clean in the eyes of history?
This overheating currently manifests in places where humans live as extreme climate instability in the form of severe droughts, severe inundations, melting of permafrost, uncontrollable forest fires etc..
Uncontrolable forest fires. CalFire, the agency that fights forest fires in California, is the umbrella agency for forestry management.
You want to log in Cali? You need their ultimate permission. The agency that bought a clapped-out Cobra helicopter so that the guy in charge could zoom around leading the attacks on his forest fires.
CEQUA. NEPA. Best practices. Salmon, steelhead, owls. Wanna log? It is going to take a while, buddy.
Less uncontrollable forest fires and more like uncontrollable government.
2016: Trump’s 5 billion dollar border wall too expensive. Would need cuts to be made to budget. Programs would suffer.
Wall not in America’s best interest. Not who we are.2022: in just 9 months Congress authorizes 100 billion dollars of US aid to country no one had hear of in 2016. Aid vital to US security interests. Country located on another continent, thousands of miles away.
OK. I give up. Somebody tell me just who we are then.
@Dr.D
“From Dec. 5, tankers and shipping insurance linked to EU and G7 countries — which dominate oil shipping globally — will be barred from trading Russian crude”
Yes. EU oil sanctions don’t start until December. Major Oil Companies are turning off their ship’s trackers transiting while through the Azores. Perhaps to avoid negative publicity?
Any bets sanction date will be pushed back?
The list by itself does not prove anything about anyone on the list, except that they have lots of money and they gave some to political parties.
Of course it proves something, teri! That kind of money buys political power. Elections have consequences.
A wide-open southern border? Millions of aliens flooding into a country? Vaccine mandates?
Do you really think these people come into political power with a few hundred thousand dollars of net worth, spend a few years in office clipping coupons in their spare time and leave as multimillionaires?
How will we know “how this all plays out”- will Trusted Sources on the darpaNet tell us?
Lies to me, lies to you. Together we should believe no one.
Russia is LOSING THE WAR.
You have made your bet. Let us see how this all plays out.
This would trigger the withdrawal of insurance cover as well as a refusal by buyers to accept delivery, leading to financial and logistical headaches and risking environmental dangers.
This entire article is just shit. Withdrawal of insurance coverage? Who cares? Insurance companies never pay claims.
Ever.
Refusals of buyers to accept deliveries. Because we need oil? We bought the oil? Now we won’t accept delivery?
Who writes this shit?
[..] of all people, Leon Trotsky writing in, (War – In the International 1933) – opined … ‘’That prior to WW2
Somebody help me with the math here?
Truly surrealistic…a brain damaged person, who can hardly read/think, beat Dr. Oz in the home of the Continental Congress 😕
I believe Fetterman, a trust fund baby, was complaining that Dr. Oz had earned too much money in his life?
For example, the standards for tubes and pipes. In case you don’t know the difference, a pipe transports something, such as water or gas or sewage, usually under pressure (pressure makes stuff move) although gravity is pretty effective. A tube is a tube and claims to be nothing else, it is a structural component and can be used as a handrail, an electrical conduit, a “stick” to beat someone with. A pipe has a pressure rating, a tube just has material and dimension specs.
Here in the USA, not so much. Pipes are round. Tubing can be round, oval, square, rectangular. Both pipes and tubing can have pressure ratings.
That law made it impossible to cancel student debts by bankruptcy laws.
It is my understanding that a person who is disabled, Social Security Disability-disabled, may have their student loan discharged by filing for bankruptcy and being granted same. I think I saw this happen in California.
