"Democrats' Failed Health Care Policies: Shut Down Government to Restore Taxpayer Subsidies for Illegal Immigrants' Health Care"

Bif whoop! - in the 11 1/2 + years anchored in Boot Key Harbor, Marathon FL Keys, about 100 yards from when I would dinghy to shore {Dockside Marina & Bar}, weathered many tropical storms while staying aboard. Only thing that was a pain was bailing out the dinghy numerous times due to the heavy rains.

FYI, this investigation has been going on for a few years and it stated under the AutoPen administration in 2023...

As long as it is not going to illegals I'm fine with it.

After many years, decades before Trump, I've noticed that and/all liber dems 'goto' is to bitch about any and all when Republicans are in office, and pretty much ignore any/all when a dem is in office -so libbies, do continue to bitch away as you cannot help yourselves as that is the mentality condition you are born with and we conservatives take that in account.

AI Overview
The White House Rose Garden has been significantly redesigned multiple times, with key renovations in 1913, 1961 (under John F. Kennedy), and 2020 (under Melania Trump). Another major, controversial overhaul was completed in 2025 under Donald Trump, which replaced the lawn with a concrete patio.
1913: First Lady Ellen Wilson had the space transformed from a colonial garden into a formal rose garden with hedges and roses.
1961-1962: President John F. Kennedy initiated a major renovation with designer Rachel Lambert Mellon to create a more open space suitable for larger gatherings, with a large central grass panel.
2020: First Lady Melania Trump's redesign involved removing crabapple trees, adding a limestone walkway, and updating flower beds. This was considered the most significant change since the 1960s.
2025: Donald Trump's administration completed another renovation, removing the lawn entirely to install a large concrete patio, which drew criticism

CNN report from 2010: $376 million White House renovation during the Obama Administration. Where was the Democrat outrage then? Also that was paid for by the taxpayers.

Hey major dem media, where's teh fishing gear???

Simple answer is not enough dem votes...go figure, RIGHT?

Unlike many White House renovations by previous presidents that use taxpayers' dollars, Trump's ballroom is paid for by him and donors, so the cost is immaterial to the taxpayers [supposing some of you libs here actually make enough to pay taxes ; )

GOOGLE AI Overview:
Every president since the White House's construction has made some changes, with some presidents initiating major renovations while others have made smaller, more personal additions. Notable examples of presidents who oversaw significant structural or functional changes include Harry S. Truman, who rebuilt the interior, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who expanded the West Wing and created the Oval Office in its current location.

Replacing the inadequate 200 seating ballroom to one with seating for 400 is a good move an then will not have to seat people under tents like obama had to do which IMO is embarrassing for our country IMO.

Next year, ask some of your friends how many pay 25% of their disposable income for health insurance.

GOOGLE AI Overview
The main purposes of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are to increase health insurance coverage, lower healthcare costs, and improve the quality of care for Americans.

FACT IS that the costs were rising prior to COVID. It has been years since COVID, and the dems set that supplemental govt monies to sunset this year. TRUMP did not do that. If it continually needs more of the taxpayers money it maybe needs to be totally be revamped - not supplemented.

I am sure that all the other Senators are sitting there listening with 'baited breath'. ; )

Should have been ended years ago.

Meanwhile, Question Of The Day: Is Trump Derangement Syndrome covered by obamacare?

I guess letting Putin invade Ukraine wasn't such a great move after all.

#9 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT AT 2025-10-20 12:03 AM | FLAG: Right, and that is on biden& Co, just as Putin's taking of Crimea was on obama...

Problem is that both of those dems were weak/toothless.

Surprised that they waited this long to make the smart move due to Putin's aggression.

Now the true reason libbies.....

Yes, Denmark is extremely worried about Russian aggression and sees it as a serious and current threat. In response, the country is significantly increasing military spending, accelerating its rearmament, and pushing for a stronger, more urgent European response to Russian "hybrid warfare".

Fiscal fact - and all the blame falls on the dems, regardless of what libbies here claim.

AGAIN, it was the dems who set for hte subsidies to 'sunset' in 2025 those - NOT Trump. They are/were established due COVID, and that is no longer applicable.

Yes, the United States requires legal immigrants to undergo a medical examination to check for diseases before they are granted entry. This mandatory process is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is designed to screen for conditions that could make an individual inadmissible to the U.S., including communicable diseases like tuberculosis and syphilis.

bidens' allowed flood of millions of llegals had no such examinations, and the US citizens are now paying the price.

Willing to bet that Illegal Aliens are those ones who brought this disease back to the USA. Not the only old mostly stopped diseases resurfacing in recent years.

Moondoggie is not happy : (
