Your boy Biden is trying to get into a war with Iran in case you haven't noticed .

I'm not forcing my religious beliefs onto others it's just a FACT I was born in 1945 and for decades God was an important aspect in folks daily lives then as time went along madam ohaira successfully got prayer kicked out of school as time went on along things really started to fall apart .

When God is taken out we get teachers that are promoting kids be castrated and or having their breast cut off all without parents knowing what is going on in school .

Girls getting sexually assaulted in their locker rooms and the twerp is only moved to another school where it happens again with No punishment. Mass shootings in schools wasn't heard of back in my day

I realize you don't like anything nor anyone that stands for things of God and that's your prerogative but life was a lot batter off back in the 40'-70's nowadays not so much so.

That has been the governments agenda get as many able-body people on the welfare line and keep them there which was to increase their voting base .

People getting everything free will absolutely keep voting for them .

Yes blame welfare for everything, that's the ticket. Not the greedy rich who want to cut your earned SS and Medicare benefits

Welfare has created millions of dead beat dad's with kids having no father role models to pattern their lives after.

These are just a tip of the iceberg all on the taxpayer dole .

Question is how many of these kids will live the same way when they are grown ?

Welfare for able bodied people is nothing short of insane .

Before welfare it was the churches and community responsibility to take care of the widow's and orphans that really needed it THEN along the government with the we'll take over this and the results we're seeing nowadays

LOL! The claim against Fox News if false. It is the tactic used by the left because Fox did not and does not participate in the 'destroy Trump' propaganda against Trump. To the left, treating Trump fairly and objectively is the same thing as being a minion supporting him blindly. Just like some on the right are condemning Fox and claiming they are now part of the 'hate Trump MSM' because Fox has questioned and criticized some of Trump's words and actions.
Objective MEANS objective, and reporting the news, good or bad, without major bias.
Some bias will, of course, leak through. Even news media are human (for now). Fox does not have a perfect record, but they are MUCH closer to objective than anyone else in the media.
As for OAN and some of the others, they are blatantly right wing, and make no pretense otherwise. Just like Rolling Stone is blatantly left wing.
What is disgusting is NPR, Huffington Post, and especially CNN and NYT, who are as left wing as AOC or Bernie Sanders, but proclaim themselves as being 'neutral and objective'.
Any one who accepts (or repeats) news stories from OAN or Rolling Stone without verification from other sources is being very foolish.
Smarter people treat CNN, NYT, and any other source (including FOX) the same way.

Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025 would increase wages for at least 17 million people, but also put 1.4 million Americans out of work, according to a study by the Congressional Budget Office released on Monday.

A phase-in of a $15 minimum wage would also lift some 900,000 out of poverty, according to the nonpartisan CBO. This higher federal minimum could raise wages for an additional 10 million workers who would otherwise make sightly above that wage rate, the study found.

Potential job losses were estimated to affect 0.9 percent of workers, the CBO wrote, adding: "Young, less educated people would account for a disproportionate share of those reductions in employment."

Here in Illinory it's $13 and we still are finding it hard to get people to want to work
Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by... (show quote)


It is hard to get young inexperienced people to work hard difficult schedules for low wages when they are living with mom and dad, who provides even their luxury smart phones, and made even more difficult when they can easily shoplift desired items with few to zero legal consequences, especially in the inner cities.
There was a recent article about how millennials are condemning their selfish and unreasonable boomer parents for not providing free baby sitting for the millennial's children, thus causing them to miss out on their own self-centered self-pandering free time. That attitude seems to fit the majority of the under-35 generation, including many of the low wage employees.
We are paying the piper for raising a generation of kids under the "no God, no moral standard, participant-is-same-as -winner" philosophy of education.
The purpose of education, for the past 40 years, is to provide good paying secure jobs-for-life for as many educators as possible in each school district.
That is what comes from nationalizing education of our children.

Raising minimum wages in my area wouldn't helping a single darn thing. I already get well over 30 an hour and many businesses are hiring at 25 starting wage with no experience! Many of these jobs only require like a 9 th grade education at the most and they still can't get help. Nope raising minimum wage wouldn't help a thing except put already high priced items through the roof!


We are seeing what happens when all needs are provided by someone else, government or otherwise. To the average human animal, leisure time is more important than luxuries, even to the honest person.
If we want people to work, then they need to HAVE to do so in order to survive.
A proper work ethic is unnatural, and has to be taught, and we haven't been doing so for a very long time.
This exact result was predicted back in the 90's when the 'let's not keep score' movement started in kid's sports.
And here we are.

If our Congress and Treasury gave a s*** and actually knew what they were doing, there are ways to raise peoples' pay while at the same time keeping prices stable. But they don't, which is why we are subjected constantly to the lie that paying people enough to live on would hurt the economy. It's nonsense.


Agreed.

There wasn't any wars under Trump and he was doing all he could to tackle the illegal aliens and thanks to the Democrats was stopped when Biden was installed in the WH .

There will Never be any leader that can eliminate our socials ills since we are as a nation in a period of moral decay Prayer has been booted out of schools and drag queens lbgt have invaded schools, libraries and Churches and secular humanistic ideologist is prevailing with the invasion of boys pretending they are girls so they can beat biological women in sports and invade their rest and locker rooms !

This only happens when people and their political leaders are morally bankrupt !

Didn't you get the memo?
It is unfair and unhealthy and 'hate' to morally judge ANYone for ANYthing.
In my youth, a boy pretending to be a girl would have been laughed all the way out of town, as would have a person 'marrying' someone of the same sex, or someone repeatedly caught shoplifting or stealing, or any of a number of things openly accepted today.
There are reasons some things were condemned by society, even if legal.
Moral standards are important.

I have no problem acknowledging that there were no major military escalations during Trump's term, but bombs continued to drop in the ME everyday during those years, and his attempt to pull Iran into it was no small thing. So this notion that Trump is a "peace president" is kind of laughable, there hasn't been any president sine JFK that made any serious attempt to reign in the military/CIA, and look what happened there.

Talk about laughable.
Trump did nothing to anyone, bombing included, except in retaliation for attacks against us or our allies. Those still were not wars, proxy or otherwise.
And WHAT religious beliefs are being forced, or even attempted to be forced, on any American? That is a strawman argument with no substance in reality. If you disagree, give me a couple of examples.

Exactamundo! See my post on this tread. My explanation is longer, but yours hits the mark perfectly!
People who do not HAVE to work to survive mostly will NOT. Leisure time is more valuable than money, as long as a person's basic needs are met.

Another strawman with no relationship to reality.
