Take out all the California counties that border on the ocean and you'll find close to all of the counties in California went for Trump. So they are trying to punish a lot of Trump supporters.

I think a great socialist movement in the U. S. will require the coming of the Second Great Depression in which the economy is so bad that not enough tax revenue comes in to pay interest on government issued bonds. That could be caused by too many people being laid off from the acceptance of AI...

I doubt that private prison companies like the sound of that. Did they fail to give Trump campaign money?

I don't think Medicaid cuts go into effect until 2028, presumably to make sure they won't be a major issue for the midterm elections.

Another way Trump could get back at Musk is to eliminate the 100% tariff on Chinese cars, though that may not be a good idea since Musk isn't the only seller of electric cars in the U. S. And oil companies likely won't like it either. At any rate, Musk needs to advance EV batteries that can be...

No wonder I suggested giving birth in the USA should be free: $44,318.41 to give birth with no complications! I wonder if having to declare medical bankruptcy over that is often and helps to explain why it's so high...

Since we can't have gun control, how about killer control? I wonder if the killer was making online and/or offline comments about who he would love to shoot dead,

Ha, dream on dream weaver. Trump can outright lie or spout ignorance unrelated to the truth just as much as he wants to with no pushback even when he makes outrageously false statements. For proof, hear him say as of June 27, that gas is down close to $2 in a lot of places in the video...

Abortion would be more safe, legal and rare, if red states didn't ban nearly all abortion, forcing abortion rates to go up in blue states where it's legal. I'd much sooner see proclamations of free birthing in hospitals and subsidized child care. It would address concerns that it's too...

I wonder if ICE will be dumb enough to do a surprise raid within the sight of a school or bank without telling LE first.

Updated megabill includes key compromises on taxes and Medicaid https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/06/28/congress/salt-medicaid-provider-taxes-00430903

Can ICE do that just because they want to, but do they first must get a warrant from a judge?

What next? Red state schools should have the right to expel students who claim to be LGBTQ+? It could be feared they might have enough influence to turn straight students gay. And what if straight students have gay parents? Should they be expelled, too? Once again, I'd be more worried about...

They are inappropriate questions to ask me since I wasn't the father of the child. That is why I said the family after consulting with doctors should have the legal right to decide how to handle such a sad situation at such an early stage of pregnancy without the state always saying no...

Since nearly all Oklahoma rural counties voted against extended Medicaid, I doubt they would mind much if their nearest hospital has to close. They would simply drive to the next nearest one that didn't close. They are a proud, self-sufficient and tough bunch. They don't like government...
