    Ah Point missed again! I am sure even you as unforgiving as you are, will admit Trump needs more than 31 days to clean up the 4 year Biden mess. Word of advice, never use Adam Schiff as a source.

    You can berate me all you want, however I always check sources, and I don't lie. Remember how you all made fun of me for saying I was in communication with the administrator, then Shazam! The rules were updated and my name was changed? Good times huh? We still chat.

    How fun is this???? | Talk of Sun City

    This is what I love about hypocritical Democrats. We now have Representative Jasmine Crockett saying she doesn't know what a $5000 dividend check from DOGE would do for you but was quite satisfied giving those suffering from hurricane Helene in South Carolina a check for only $750 dollars! If $5000 dollars can't do much for you, then what do you expect $750 to do?

    Not to mention, that Representative Crockett, who is an African American BTW, seems to have no problem giving or getting reparations to people who had nothing to do with slavery.

    The dollars that DOGE finds are tax dollars paid by Americans. It's not a "dividend," it's more like a "Rebate."

    Rhetorical question, what does the EPA have to do with gold bars and financial 8nstitutions? I believe the outside institution, which this yutz won’t reveal, is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Gold bars have been kept in their vault for decades as it represents reserve holdings of our main allies 8n Europe and Asia. If this person didn’t know this he shouldn’t hold any position in government. The United States reserve is held in Fort Knox on an Army base and guarded by the Army. Trump and the Afrikaner probably are trying to find a way to store their respective cuts in bathrooms at Ma-A-Lago.

    FYI, If the purpose Douche was to find waste and get rid of it, was one of their objectives to pay down the debt? So money found that was allegedly used to pay off the debt is given back to the masses. So how is the debt to be paid off, hummm?
    Where did these clowns come from and will Elon be signing the checks?

    Tom at times you have the attention span of an Irish Setter. Think wayyyy back to September of last year when after issuing the $759 checks, which was to tide over FEMA until the victims could discuss further assistance. The big problem was FEMA ran out of Money and begged an emergency fusion from Sniveling mouse House Speaker Johnson who said C9ngress is in recess and campaigning so I can’t bring them back. They just have to wait for the new budget. Another example of Republican Family Values. You really should read more and retain it..

    You can’t summarize what this clown said and his proof and you claim to be some sort of upper crust secretary? On what plane?

    Do you even know how to adult? Everything you write sounds like it comes from a pimply face little playground bully.

    A secretary should not have to explain anything to someone as intelligent as you.

    First of all, it's DOGE not Douche. You will find a Douche by looking in the mirror!
    Second, if you would pay attention to what has been said, instead of making things up, you would have heard that is was only a suggestion that only a small percentage could, possibility, be sent back to the citizens whose money it is! The rest would be used to pay down the debt.

    And why did FEMA run out of money? Because they pissed the money away paying for the needs of all the illegal aliens Biden allowed to cross the border, for such things as food, lodging, medical, etc.

    All we hear from you Liberal's is that Trump is causing a Constitutional Crises, but you never said a single word about Biden's failure to support and defend the Constitution by jeopardizing the Nation's National Security by allowing open borders. Now that's a national crises as well as a Constitutional crises and I blame the Supreme Court for not stepping in and holding the administration to task.

    Do a little research and discover what authority the President has over things within the Executive Branch of government. Apparently he can even fire administrative law judges under 5 U.S.C. 1202 (d) and 5 U.S.C. 7521 (a). So his choice of Elon Musk is totally his choice to make! Gee, you would think the Dem's would know this already but apparently they are not that smart. But no, the DNC passes out the talking points of the day and each Senator steps-up to the microphone for his 5 minutes of fame and repeats everything the previous speaker just said!

    You're Party really is in BIG TROUBLE, as is your own mental state which just can't seem to shake that TDS!

    He thinks he's cute. That's what people do when they have nothing. Ugh! Thanks Tom. Wonder how long it will take to get that 77 year old red bag with Dave's face on it out of my head.

    Is this the way adults talk? Douche, instead of DOGE? That is vulgar! Really, Dave, even if you hate Trump and Elon, please use language and references that aren't what 7th grade young boys use in the bathroom.

    He can't. Surprised you are upset by that. It's quite mild for him. Not surprising he could not get a job in the corporate world, or a Law Degree, or an MBA. Professionals don't speak like that, and if they did they would be fired in a nano second.

    I had a job in the corporate world for thirty years starting at the bottom as a trainee and working my way to a regional supervisor and to an account executive that handled only Fortune 50 companies. I was also approached by the supervisor of our branch’s claim attorneys ( he was an attorney also) about attending law school and the company would pay for it. I demurred saying that my present position takes up a lot of time and by attending school at night plus studying when not attending to the other two plus business travel, I would have no life for at least four years probably five. This offer made to me had to been previously approved by the Branch Manager, a company VP and higher ups in the Home office in underwriting and our Legal Department. I saw that offer as a testament of skills and value to the company.

    MBA never entered my mind, not interested, no business class background.

    I was accepted to graduate school to work on my Master’s in history but never attended as I didn’t have the funds, joined VISTA instead. I worked in a law office in Pilsner which led to my corporate job. Obviously not attending grad school was the correct choice.

    Apparently since your only participation in Sun City life is to be WLB, if you were on a committee you would know that a secretary of the committee takes notes during the meeting and the Executive Assistant to the Board types the notes into a coherent summary of what happened during the meeting. Yes, support staff can type explanatory documents for committee members and the the membership. My guess as to my request is that you are too lazy or didn’t have anything worth while. Not sure which but betting on both.

    I will ignore your Google on administrative law judges because you don’t crap about ALJs or enabliging statutes. So let focus on the money helicopter dispersing $5,500 checks signed by Musk. The question is how much will this cost and how many qualify. Well we know the base figure is $5,500 but who qualifies? Let’s say anyone who filed a tax return and I will say 100Mn around one third of our population. This would be a payout of around $550 bn. So far, it has been estimated that Musk and his diaper dandies (Ms Curry, that is not a derogatory term, rather it refers to a star college freshman athlete) have saved only $60mn, a far cry what hey need to payout and pay off.

    I don’t know about the Dems being in big trouble, but if I were you I would be worried about Trump’s poll number sinking fast, inflation up, tariffs starting to affect consumer prices, consumer confidence index down, business purchasing down and a truly ugly week on the NYSE. Top economists excluding Peter Navarro and Rick Santelli, both who never predict anything correctly, believe a recession is coming and in some cases stagflation like in the 70’s and 80’s. Add to it Trump voters showing up at town halls and politely saying that they have reached a braeking point with the Musk/Trump presidency and this is from red States. Ooo boy! Bummer Tom!

    Also wanted to catch up with you on the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. While you are correct that it began with the Confederation Congress. The guts of the ordinance was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1784 and passed, it could not be enforced by the Constitutional Congress in 1787 as one of the points in the 1784 ordinance was that it referred to “Authorized Settlers” as defined by the ordinance. Since there were none, the Ordinance was rewritten using TJ’s language sans the settler thing and passed the new Congress and went into full force and effect. I would also point out that language regarding schools was in the 1784 ordinance tracing Confederation/federal involvement predating the Republic. I admit I dragged out my old college US history textbook to get some facts straight, no Google involved just Edmund S Morgan, cursory Charles Beard, Gordon Wood and Eugene P Trani ( one of my profs).

    Stay ignorant and shoot your mouth off about things you know nothing about, unless the phantom, scary cat Northwestern MBA is filling you in but it seems not.

    Thank you Groucho Marx.

    So, you are dodging the question along with the latest alleged death threat. That’s what you do, when called for proof of what you post, you obfuscate or completely ignore proving your point. Sad.

    Now that statement makes absolutely no sense at all! If Peter Navarro and Rick Santelli never predict anything correctly, then there's nothing to worry about because, as you say, they are never correct! That means, no recession and no stagflation!
    Missing the point once again! It's not whether or not the Federal Government wasn't concerned with education; education was a State's Right under the 10th Amendment. The point is the Federal Government didn't dictate educational policy to the States until the 1960's.

    "Between October 1940 and February 1942 the Red Army, in particular the Soviet Air Force, as well as Soviet military-related industries were subjected to purges by Joseph Stalin." (from wikipedia)
    Now it is America's turn.

    Because Wikipedia cannot be considered a reliable source, the use of Wikipedia is not accepted in many schools and universities in writing a formal paper, and some educational institutions have banned it as a primary source while others have limited its use to only a pointer to external sources.

    We have talked about this before. I will get on your Wiki Page and edit some content if you still think it's a reliable source.

    so what do you find to be wrong or inaccurate or misleading about this wikipedia statement?
    '"Between October 1940 and February 1942 the Red Army, in particular the Soviet Air Force, as well as Soviet military-related industries were subjected to purges by Joseph Stalin.""
    Also if the only you can show that wikipedia is inaccurate is by vandalizing my user page, that's pretty pathetic and keep in mind that my user page is not a wikipedia article, so adding and then finding errors there proves nothing. please point out some real wikipedia mistakes. Without googling it, please.
