A decade ago, when conservatives were attacking President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act as government encroachment in health care, they worked to amend state constitutions around the country to affirm a broad right for people to control their own medical decisions. "Each competent adult shall have the right to make his or her own health care decisions," reads section 38(a) of the Wyoming constitution's Declaration of Rights, under the header "Right of healthcare access." The provision was placed on Wyoming's ballot by state lawmakers and approved by voters in 2012; voters saw ballot language that described the measure as preserving this right "from undue governmental infringement." Now these anti-ACA provisions"and their broad affirmations of a right to decide"have turned into an unlikely weapon in progressives' fight against restrictions on abortion. read more
Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, as mounting losses, unaffordable debt, increased competition for bargain-seeking airline passengers and the inability to merge with other airlines left it little choice. The airline said it will continue to operate as it restructures its debt. read more
SACRAMENTO, California " Phillips 66 announced Wednesday that it will close its Los Angeles oil refinery next year, citing "long-term uncertainty" two days after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law clearing the way for new regulations on the state's refiners. The closure would knock out about 8 percent of refining capacity in a state that barely produces enough of its special-blend gasoline to meet demand from its 31 million gas-powered vehicles. read more
At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me. However, the article clearly stated that it was my "initial reaction" to those allegations, not a complete analysis. Today, I reviewed the complete dossier prepared by Dr. Stefan Weber, whom I have covered before. I also performed a peer review of one of his papers in 2018. With this new information, while I believe the case is more serious than I commented to the New York Times, the overarching points remain. While there are problems with this work, the pattern points to sloppy writing habits, not a malicious intent to defraud. Is it problematic? Yes. But it's also not the wholesale fraud that many have claimed it to be. It sits somewhere between what the two sides want it to be. read more
From posts about the presidential election to posts about Hurricane Helene and Federal Emergency Management Agency misinformation, the CCC found them substantial enough to block the Air Force's plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County. "Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet," Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.

Bellringer thought I would see into your accusation.
This was kind of interesting.
President Barack Obama had promised to end the war, so on Dec. 28, 2014, U.S. and NATO officials held a ceremony at their headquarters in Kabul to mark the occasion. A multinational color guard paraded around. Music played. A four-star general gave a speech and solemnly furled the green flag of the U.S.-led international force that had flown since the beginning of the conflict.
In a statement, Obama called the day "a milestone for our country" and said the United States was safer and more secure after 13 years of war.
"Thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, our combat mission in Afghanistan is ending and the longest war in American history is coming to a responsible conclusion," he declared.

Seriously, there's no reason to prove your ignorance with every post... we get it.
Yeah, that was stunningly stupid. Gotta agree.

You would, in what way did Corky defend the Millions of people that have entered the country illegally and stayed?
You can't tell me all these "asylum" seekers had no affect on housing, or hotel prices?
For the full fiscal year 2024, preliminary data show that DHS completed over 700,000 removals and returns, more than any prior fiscal year since 2010. That includes more removals to countries other than Mexico than in any prior year."
This is a silly stat, because the comparison assumes a "constant" rate of crossers per day, from 2010-2024. You'd be an idiot to believe its been the same constant rate, and only now they are improving upon it.

How come you don't hate --------- adjudicated rapist?
By adjudicated whom? Criminal trial?
How can American vote for him?
My guess is half of Americans thought he was better than the alternative.
Again as I and others have stated the Democrat Elites chose poorly, the fact that you drone on and on about the loss, is hilarious, but not unexpected.
With each post you lose more and more credibility..
I simply don't get it.
You do, you just can't accept it.
