BTW, from your cited source, the percentage of population using medicaid is slightly greater for rural vs urban areas.

ROFLMAO!!!

You wish.

Your duly-noted attempts to distract from the current situation is both specious and pathetic.

Suggest you stop digging and bail out with whatever shreds of credibility you might still have!

ROFLMAO!!!

Say anything to CYA until AFTER the 2026 elections!

Meanwhile, where are all the comments that supported tying Social Security to the Stock Market? I don't even hear crickets ...

Too much overhead?

"Special elections slip thru the cracks because the leftist Democrat run MSM say nothing about them. And few ads are run. They impose a cover up just as they did with the Hunter Biden laptop and recent special election in PA. The media controls alone what they want exposed and covered up.

Is FOX News covering the special elections (I don't watch FOX News, or any other MSM for that matter)?
If not, why not?
If they are covering the special elections, are you claiming that FOX News is not MSM?

Ah, the old 'love it or leave it' response.

Personally when I encounter a steaming pile, I'm inclined to flush it rather than walking away and leaving for someone else to fix.

So, where are your numbers?

Claims without evidence are given all their due consideration.

LOL!

Not only is it not luck, it's not true:

BTW, it's illustrative to compare the literacy rates of the top five states vs the bottom five states.

"The literacy figure that people cite"47%"is from a single analysis conducted by the National Institute for Literacy in 1998 based on data collected in 1993, nearly 30 years ago. While this data is extremely outdated and doesn't take into account changes in the landscape over the past 30 years, it was also not very reliable even when it was published. In the National Institute for Literacy's report, several limitations were documented, the most notable being that the validity was only confirmed at the county-level. Additionally, the report included a note that Detroit's margin of error was greater than 5 percentage points, but did not include details about the size."

"Honest question - of the $7T spent annually, what % is fraud and abuse?
#20 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-03-20 07:21 AM"

Ask DOGE.

Two honest questions:
1. How much money due to fraud/abuse has DOGE saved?
2. How much did it cost to save that amount of money?
IOW, is DOGE doing its job?

It's easy to simply cut spending.
One can save money by never changing the oil in one's car. However, that's not a prudent plan.

"Lastly, I find it really odd that you are taking this 'dying to the last man' to defend Ukraine while simultaneously fighting for the US to have open borders and likely would try to imprison me if I used deadly force against a home invader. Surely defending the integrity of my home would be a higher justification than some vacant field half way around the world. Why the double-standard?
#53 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-03-18 08:58 PM"

Why the double standard indeed!

Isn't defending the integrity of your home just a case of a 'territorial dispute'? After all, you can just relocate to another place more to your liking after the home invader takes what they want. You can also be confident that the home invader won't come to your new place because they can be trusted (just like one can trust the Russians: see the Budapest Memorandum of about thirty years ago!). If one follows the actions of the Russians rather than what they say, there's little mystery as to why the Ukrainians are fighting.

Apparently that attempt at humor went completely over your head.

Now, to answer your question, personally I'm more concerned about any powerful person/party that circumvents/ignores the law. Yes, the law might be imperfect, but if the law is not followed then our republic no longer exists. There are ways to deal with imperfect law.

LOL! If you had stopped at "idk", this might have been a useful posting.

By multiple metrics, Mississippi is considered to be the poorest state in the USA.
Please explain how the 'richest Provence(sic) in Canada' is poorer than Mississippi.
Feel free to choose a Canadian Province, BUT be prepared to explain your choice!

I keep seeing this statistic (or something close to it) being repeatedly touted.

Would you provide a source for this claim?

The only thing exposed is your ability to read and comprehend. It's right there both in the article and in the headline of this thread. A Norway firm refuses to supply fuel, not the entire country of Norway.

Please do continue tho'. It makes for light entertainment.

So, where does the $5M go?
"Pay down the deficit" *wink wink*

No doubt these wealthy new citizens will be "paying a lot of taxes" (just like the current wealthy citizens are doing now LOL!).

How is this an improvement over the EB-5 program? Oh, right, it's direct $$$ and not an allocated investment. So much easier to "transfer" $$$ to some "worthy cause".

Hey, how about letting current citizens, who want to leave the USA, sell their citizenship for $5M? Sounds like it would be a win-win that would cut out the middle man!

I wonder how long it'll be before President Donald "Neville Chamberlain" declares peace for our time.
