Ok..Gonna go out on a limb here and hope that y'all will remember me saying something to the effect of "I don't always agree with President Trump" Also, I've said in the past, that I am an equal opportunity offender, as in, don't give a damn what side of the fence someone falls on, there may be a sunday go to meetin if ya get my drift, with my detractors!.. Nuff said! Onward.


I just heard Trump say that people will be receiving big checks...just am curious what he thinks a big check is? I know this sounds kinda cold.. BUT the $$$ he's puttin out is OURS, John /Jane Q Tax Payer!!! Up there with the gun buy back... "what, your gonna buy MY OWN gun back from me with MY OWN MONEY!!~ LMAO ROFL!!! That's Rich!!

Good Question in this day n age, I would venture a guess that the average family probably pays, at least in my current state NV and CA..My Former state....A minimum of $1500-$2000. a month JUST for rent..average utilities lets say.. all inclusive internet and cell ph.. $600.00 a month..This doesn't include gas, car insurance.. Food...medical insurance, (if homeowner) homeowners insurance..& Property taxes... Mind you this does NOT include recreational Anything! Wow.. that number boggles the mind.. and I wasn't even counting children.. just a single, or couple.. Hmmm Oh.. and need I remind, these "checks" are supposedly only going to folks laid off, fired or small business employees... and Loans, not gimmes for small business to get low interest loans..to keep everything afloat.. NOT everyone gets a check.. just workin but Not workin due to this type folks.. that $2000. per couple? $1200. for singles & $500. per child, doesn't even cover all the above.. kinda scary.. Way back when I was laid off, I basically made what unemployment considers cap, I was making good money back then..my hubby Budd had his check.. I had unemployment, and a year after that, we lost our house!, That mortgage at that time (2008 in Grass Valley, CA was $3640.00 Per month.. + Plus all the above bills).. I don't see how he's gonna do it, Trump I mean...He's probably gonna have to Bend over, and concede to the dems wishes or you don't get s**t. Nancy Pelosi has already made THAT abundantly clear by holding aid to US hostage... I think she should be impeached for the very thing she impeached Trump for... Holding Aid to the American People, for a QUID PRO QUO!! .. you give ME the Kennedy Center, and I'll make sure your Senate bill gets passed in the House... DARE Ya.. prove me wrong.. since this is an OP Ed... As Far AS C****-** Testing is concerned!~ *Smirk*

Excellent points. Except we are so far in debt it’ll be our grandkids tax’s paying for this. Yes ol Trump loves to talk things up big. One reason I don’t listen much to him but sure am glad he beat Hillary. I’ll be even happier when he beats Joe Ling Biden. Think about this for a sec. some of those checks are more than people I know are making and some are much less. Seems as usual this BS ONE size fits all govt. answer to everything won’t work very well. Oh well at least Pelosi made sure the arts will be there for all the people needing a meal. You stay safe young lady. Kool women like you are a dying breed.

I agree with nearly everything. Then there is Sicilianthing who is so obnoxious about this that you can't even talk to him. He has no vision for the future, only doom, and gloom. The world is not a nice place and Americans have become too complacent in their affluence, even the lower class, who live far better than most of the rest of the world. Trump is stuck between a rock and a hard spot. What is the alternative? Hillary? Biden? Bernie? God help us. Sometimes freedom can only be won and has to be renewed by the shedding of some patriotic blood. The left knows they are in for the fight of their life. They thought they won after Obama was re-elected and Hillary was their heir-apparent who was going to CYA all of the coastal blue-state elites. They will not go away quietly because they are patient, and if not now, they can wait until the next opportunity arises. And another opportunity will arise because we have to remain always vigilant against the enemies of freedom, liberty, and America. We almost fell asleep and let the progressive move us away from the original intentions and purpose of this great country.

Currently, we have a 23 trillion dollar national debt. At this point, what's $2 trillion more? we will emerge from this with lots of new winners and a lot of losers. It is unfortunate, but necessary to right this ship and put us back on course. I believe Trump has good instincts and is trying to undo the damage done by the left. He can't do it alone and he has many enemies against him. He is brash, bombastic, crude, pompous, turgid, coarse, and rude much of the time. he has to be because he is fighting a different kind of enemy. They won't give in to Mr. Nice Guy so that strategy is useless. He knew it and everyone who v**ed for him knew it. That's why they v**ed for him. He was the person we needed at that time. I had been convinced by his enemies that he was not a good guy. It took a long time to sell me on his methods. Mostly by watching the way the Democrats reacted to him, fought him at every juncture, even before he was elected and took office. I don't know how he continues to take the abuse he gets from the Democrats and the complicit media, day-after-day. He has a much tougher hide than I thought possible. What does he need to do this for? Why would he want to be President? I believe he is not the same man from ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. I think he truly cares about the average American. The ones who work and help build this country, who fight the wars, pay their taxes, go to church and believe in God and Jesus, and want their own children to grow up and have a better life. His base is the average guy, not the pretentious, ostentatious, creme-de-la-creme, elitist, high society. He has rubbed shoulders with them but he is the common man. He can only do so much as President. I think he has shown great restraint and stayed within the bounds of his authority and power as enumerated in the Constitution. The Opposition does not. They subscribe to the "Living Constitution." A document that can be interpreted anyway they want to suit the ends. They have proven this since the beginning of the Russian collusion investigation right through to impeachment and now this p******c.

I don't know what is the right thing to do. I don't think anyone else does either. Mostly they opine for political gain. Those who line up against him hope he fails so they can fill the void. Those who line up with him are facing a nearly insurmountable force that is trying to destroy America, freedom, and liberty for all mankind and make us all s***es to serve our elite masters who think they know what is best for us. The is a battle we cannot lose. The obstacles are almost overwhelmingly stacked against us. Like the Berlin Wall, a crack has formed and people see it. They are picking at it everyday until one day that wall will crumble. We need everyone who believes they know better than their masters must help pick at the wall, piece by piece,. before it is too late. Time is running out. There is a special place in hell for those who remain neutral in times of great crises to paraphrase Dante. There are still too many who have not yet weighed their options and chose their side. Not much time left to sit on the fence. We know who the enemies are! The question is, are we going to let them have their way without putting up a good fight to hold on to our vision for the future and our children's future are are we going to quietly let servitude sneak up on us and take over before we know what hit us?

Do you mean the cooler weather south of where YOU are? Our weather will get warmer as one moves south. The fear is that it could return next fall so there is a short window of opportunity to develop a v*****e to combat this.

Next fall 2021 there will probably be a v*****e, I agree, but the v***s might not migrate the only reason people think it migh is because of where it is now and its movement around the World favouring cooler weather, but this could be due to other factors or it could move on a bit but not much because of spread opportunities where it is now.

Easter is too soon to go back to normal there needs to be a lot of tracking down infected people and their contracts as well as isolation, otherwise come November that's 7 months from Easter the carnage could be front and center not to mention all the extra dead people.

Getting back to normal should be mid June the earliest.

To your above post and this one I agree... folks, patriots, have been talking about a civil war... this one won't be a civil war, it'll be a Revolutionary war.. US. against the elite/gov't!...You are right, Trump did NOT have to be president, he had a Lot goin on for him before he took office, lovely, classy wife, Nice children... money, properties etc etc.. But he took on the mantle of president, to help Us the working folks, that Built America.. and your also right, that sometimes you need to spill the blood of patriots in order to build a society worth living in...

When Trump says things like we are gonna go big or go home, I truly believe he is being hopeful.. but the MSM, & the Dems are tryin to denigrate his and Our Hope..Yes I know the national debt is high, and maybe also, the country will still be in debt, after 3 maybe 4 package bills to save us...the number I heard total will be closer to the $8.5 trillion dollars or more when all is said and done...Dr. F***i, don't much care for him..basically to coin an old phrase, His bed side manner is S**t, he really doesn't offer hope.. so Trump seems to feel the need to step up to give hope... this goal of Easter, Is one of HOPE we get back on track economy wise may be wishful thinking but I'd rather have that than no hope... also a pet peeve here lately, even with fox.. of course I watch via youtube.. so it may be covered up with their logo.. but from what I can see.. they talk about the number of cases hour by hour.. and also the deaths hour by hour, but there seems to be nothing regarding the C****-** v***s regarding those recovering & those recovered...F***i said next year WILL be worse, possibly 2 years before this thing settles down...he seems rather a fatalist... we didn't have near this amount of hooplah...during sars, or h1n1.. people went on with their lives... same with just the regular flu which takes 100's of thousands a year every year, flu shot or not...sighs.. As far as the dems, they Want this economy to crash, and they bash Trump, every step of the way.. the House dems are worthless pieces of s**te!!.. Ugh...

Have a good night.. headin to bed...back laters!!

Splitting hairs there eh? It's not socialism to give people free money, but it IS socialism to feed kids? It's socialism to ease some people's student debt, but NOT socialism to give free money to businesses that were boasting about record profits last year?

There have already been 2 v***s bills passed, this one is titled as an economic stimulus. How does a party chanting "smaller government! no freebies! free markets rule! less government spending!" every time a democrat/liberal talks about social programs...........................................suddenly reverse course and demand the very thing they've been crucifying people for?

It's bad when THEY do it or when someone ELSE gets the goodies, but perfectly reasonable when WE do it and WE get the goodies.

These complaints stink to high heaven.

Get some common sense. Even though I h**e this Bill and there’s a big difference between socialism and trying to stimulate the economy because of a p******c. Smaller govt would have probably been much more efficient than what we’ve seen. As usual I’d rather have seen a much more targeted bill with t***sparency. Who’s getting what and why.

The difference now is that these businesses and workers are losing money because the govt forced the businesses to shut down. If the govt is preventing them from operating, they should be compensated. It doesn't take a genius to grasp that.

He is brash, bombastic, crude, pompous, turgid, coarse, and rude much of the time. he has to be because he is fighting a different kind of enemy. They won't give in to Mr. Nice Guy so that strategy is useless. He knew it and everyone who v**ed for him knew it. That's why they v**ed for him. He was the person we needed at that time. I had been convinced by his enemies that he was not a good guy. It took a long time to sell me on his methods. Mostly by watching the way the Democrats reacted to him, fought him at every juncture, even before he was elected and took office. I don't know how he continues to take the abuse he gets from the Democrats and the complicit media, day-after-day. He has a much tougher hide than I thought possible. What does he need to do this for? Why would he want to be President? I believe he is not the same man from ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. I think he truly cares about the average American. The ones who work and help build this country, who fight the wars, pay their taxes, go to church and believe in God and Jesus, and want their own children to grow up and have a better life. His base is the average guy, not the pretentious, ostentatious, creme-de-la-creme, elitist, high society. He has rubbed shoulders with them but he is the common man. He can only do so much as President. I think he has shown great restraint and stayed within the bounds of his authority and power as enumerated in the Constitution. The Opposition does not. They subscribe to the "Living Constitution." A document that can be interpreted anyway they want to suit the ends. They have proven this since the beginning of the Russian collusion investigation right through to impeachment and now this p******c.

I don't know what is the right thing to do. I don't think anyone else does either. Mostly they opine for political gain. Those who line up against him hope he fails so they can fill the void. Those who line up with him are facing a nearly insurmountable force that is trying to destroy America, freedom, and liberty for all mankind and make us all s***es to serve our elite masters who think they know what is best for us. The is a battle we cannot lose. The obstacles are almost overwhelmingly stacked against us. Like the Berlin Wall, a crack has formed and people see it. They are picking at it everyday until one day that wall will crumble. We need everyone who believes they know better than their masters must help pick at the wall, piece by piece,. before it is too late. Time is running out. There is a special place in hell for those who remain neutral in times of great crises to paraphrase Dante. There are still too many who have not yet weighed their options and chose their side. Not much time left to sit on the fence. We know who the enemies are! The question is, are we going to let them have their way without putting up a good fight to hold on to our vision for the future and our children's future are are we going to quietly let servitude sneak up on us and take over before we know what hit us?
I agree with nearly everything. Then there is Sic... (show quote)
