This is not going to make arguing against attacking the cartels any easier...

I saw that earlier today. This is a very bad move and will likely result in some serious cartel-on-cartel violence. They understand the threat they are under anyway and they definitely understand how the U.S. could likely react to this. Somebody is going to pay.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Trump administration will now choose which media outlets will be part of a pool of reporters that cover smaller events and travel with the president.

Previously, the pool was organized by the White House Correspondents Association, an independent organization of vetted journalists who cover the president.

The POTUS doing POTUS things.....

US President Donald Trump welcomed a group of visitors to the White House on Tuesday, February 25, as public tours officially opened for the first time since he took office again in January.

The group whooped and cheered as Trump revealed himself from behind a screen. The president encouraged the group to enjoy “the first [tour] of the year” and described the grandeur of the Oval Office.

“The biggest people come here, and they all have beautiful offices, but when they walk into the Oval Office, there’s nothing like it. They look and they …. some of them actually start crying,” he said. Trump then pivoted to talking about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “We’re trying to get rid of this horrible Ukraine-Russia war and I think we’re doing a lot. We’re dealing with both parties, and Europe, and I think we’ll get it done,” Trump said. “It should have never started. It should never, ever have started. And if it did start, it could have been ended in a week - not after three years of bloodshed, and millions of people killed, and all of that great architecture knocked down. You know those beautiful spires are all knocked down and gone. Thousands of years old. It’s terrible.”

The president then thanked the tour group for visiting and praised first lady Melania Trump, whom he said “worked very hard at making it perfect.” Trump also made several surprise appearances for tour groups during his first presidency.

I've been told repeatedly we're not a Christian nation.

Further, conflating forcing people to help others vs people doing so of their own volition is silly.

It's the people claiming to be "oh so Christian" and then supporting the rump and the muskrat, who are fine with hurting and endangering people, I can't stand. And I refuse to be nice about it. I also don't care to be particularly gentle with those who claim not to fully support rump but then make excuses and tell me I'm an alarmist. No. I'm not.

More revenue should be linked to corresponding spending reduction: imo a 1% tax increase across the top 2 - 3 tax brackets must be linked to verifiable reduction in federal govt spending by 3% across the board. For each and every federal govt agency. It sounds harsh but has to be done imo. And yes I am well aware that it will affect my bottom line since my reimbursement from seeing patients in my clinic is directly from Medicare. And yes I am well aware that this would impact my parents and in laws….all 4 of them are on social security and and on Medicare/advantage health insurance.

It will affect people's children, too, since they will have to help support us. Or has that not occurred to you? Not apologizing to you for my curt reply written with a great deal of seething anger. Wish I could lash out more but it isn't allowed here.

The programs like SS and Medicare are going broke anyway. So children are going to deal with this as it relates to their parents if we do nothing about spending. Restructuring and austerity measures are where we are headed. We can do that in a controlled manner now that tries to preserve the programs through increased revenue and some level of spending reductions or we can do it with our hair on fire when the programs run out of money. I’m betting we go hair on fire route. That’s gonna be quite a day. I’m gonna keep my head down and doors locked.

Your anger should be directed at generations of government politicians and bureaucrats that have spent us into oblivion and not protected things like the SS trust fund or allowed that trust fund to be invested in the market so it could actually make money so it can be viable over the long haul.

If I’ve misunderstood your point in my reply I apologize, but the substance is still correct either way.

House narrowly passes budget resolution containing $100B for defense

The House on Tuesday narrowly adopted a budget blueprint that would invest an additional $100 billion in defense in the next decade as part of a sweeping Republican plan to enact President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.
www.stripes.com www.stripes.com

Another $100 billion to $150 billion on the way in increased defense spending. It never stops: programs for everyday people cut (because we all must suffer), spending for the military continues to grow. Please tell me again how Republicans are doing something different.

Thank you - I've been saying this over and over, but many seem to not get it. We're heading off a financial cliff, and while I've no idea (and little confidence) that trump and company can get us back on track, the reality is we owe it to our kids and grandkids to do something about fixing our out of control government spending.

Yes, we'll need more revenue, but that's only going to work when combined with some serious cuts with spending.

Austerity always hurts, but it's a whole lot better when you still have some control rather than when it's foisted upon you...
