It looks like all of you "AMERICA FIRST" people you've found you candidate. DeSantis says the Ukrainian war is a regional war and is not essential to the US. This has to be music to your ears. Putin is extremely happy with his position and Xi is happy as well so when he makes his move to take over Taiwan it would be just another regional war and the US will not interfere. Perfectly ANERICA FIRST!

Frank Wiley

Lorts-- I added to my last post while you were posting.  I also see the Ukrainian War as a European problem.  It's not that Ron De Santis is against helping Ukraine he just feels, as I do, that Europe should carry the heavy financial burden simply because stopping Russia should be MORE important to them.  It's a crying shame that your boy Obama did nothing when Putin took Crimea.  Now, all of a sudden you're a Hawk.  The best thing about us helping Ukraine is that we are bloodying Russias nose without putting our Military in jeopardy!!

Mike Lorts

I thought Obama made a huge mistake for allowing Putin to invade Ukrain and forcibly annexing Crimea and not gathering NATO and the EU to mount a offensive against Russia. The difference between then and now is that we have ALL the Ukrainian people fighting this invasion. The lesson has to be Putin will not be satisfied until he reassembles the old USSR. Xi is watching how this unfolds. It will tell him what he could expect when attempts to take over Taiwan.

It was just Stated that there is no Hope that the Biden Administration will ever be Transparent, because Biden believes "Transparent" means a man who has had a baby. NEW SUBJECT:  There is no doubt that the biden administration is a TOTAL FAILURE AT EVERYTHING BUT FAILURE, AND AT FAILURE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS THE BEST EVER. AND LIKELY TO NEVER BE OUTDONE, BECAUSE OUR NATION IS IN REAL PERIL AND THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE FOR A FUTURE IDIOT TO DO ANY WORSE BECAUSE WE MAY NOT SURVIVE HIM. Notice how silent Democrats have become about the Blunder in Chief and his Performance. Do you still have your money in the Bank today? if yes, Why?

One of the Republican members of the House indicated that she will not Vote to Pass a Bill that has any hidden components buried in its provisions that allows for seizure by the Federal Government of all Funds held in Banks and Retirement Funds. She said she saw such a provision in a recent Bill and is refusing to sign it no matter what, even if America goes Bankrupt. 

The way to make a Real Impression on these Fools is to absolutely Not give them what they want. Its like a Child that wants to play with the stove.

Greg,

I think if you or a loved one was unfortunate enough to have diabetes all of you would thrilled to have insulin cost capped at $35.

Jack Breese

Mike Lorts, I read the forum frequently and what I am going to write here I know will not influence your thinking, but it's not to late to change... Think Tulsi Gabbard.

       The Democratic party, mainly President Biden, continues to misinform, ignore and attack.

Only 1/4 of America thinks we are headed in the right direction.  Why...

Inflation was 1.4% when Biden assume presidency.   The 30myear mortgage was 2.7%.   Now 7%.  Eggs are $7/dozen,  Gas was $1.89 here in Texas in September '20.   Now $3.00 and from what I read, hifger in Arizona. Natural gas has tripled.   As inflation and gas prices taper, he declares he lowered these indice.                               

China has violated our airspace.   There is no southern border.  The materials for the wall are sitting and rusting.    Along with the border he demonized our Border patrol officers.  Four trillion dollars were printed.He stated that he was not worried if Russia had "a mild incursion" into Ukraine.   Really!!   Rich avoid paying taxes when in fact 1% pay 40% of the taxes.   He lies about the GOP sunsetting Medicare and SS.   Biden is passing executive orders that he knows is unconstitutional and will be (already happened) shot down by the Sipreme Courtbut he wll lie that the Reoublicans did not support his policies.   Speaking of the Supreme Court, why did the Justice Department not support the law abour picketing Justice homes?    Democrats run from the truth.  Happened in TX a few years ago and recently a meeting about border situation.    Supports biological males participating in women's sports.   Disgusting!   Remeber the first time you were eligible to vote... in person.  Theft is not a crime.   Don't even get me started on Woke/CRT/DEI.    Yes, Biden did cancel the Keystone pipeline, affecting a 4-10 billion economic impact and 16-25 thousand jobs.   He did halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands.  He sells our petroleum preserves to China and buys 'dirty' oil from Venezuela, the Saudis and Iran.

There ia so much more that this administration has screwed up and if you feel it hasn't affected you or your family, then you must live on Mars.   I know I have a better chance to convert an atheist to Christianity than convincing you to ask yourself, do I belive in America and the reality of what is happening to our country?Merely stating facts that youi seem to want everyone to do.   Have a nice day.   No reply necessary.

JUST AN OBSERVATION:

Recently I have seen A Democrat Senator from Arizona and a former Democrat congresswoman and Presidential candidate switch from Democrat to Independent. Other Democrats in congress are beginning to see that Biden is not fit to be President. However, I have not seen any Republicans in congress switching to independent. I question any legislation that passes entirely along party lines. That shows me they are voting for the party, not for what they believe is best for America. 

As I said, It's just an observation.

As Jim says, SECURE THE BORDER. AMERICA FIRST.

We can't help other countries defend their borders until we secure ours and strengthen our military. MAGA means "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN." Anyone who is against that is not an AMERICAN.

Jim Coats

I'm NOT an expert in this, but I think we might see the Fed buy some of the Treasuries paying 3.5% interest and below back from some of the idiot banks who are now under water on their balance sheets and the Fed will pay Par for them......not the depreciated value.  That's probably a 20% loss (or more) for the Fed ($billions....probably more like a $trillion) and do you know what they will do to make up the difference?  I'll wait........They will print more money and what is printing money that we don't have equal?  I'll wait..........INFLATION!  It's more of the Joe Biden Show.

I think we are in for a rough ride ON TOP OF what Jack just laid out AND WE HAVE ALSO SAID so many times.  I hope not, but I have a very bad feeling.  IF we get through the next few months "unscathed," I worry about what price we might have had to pay about which we were unaware.  WHO'S THE LIAR?

SECURE THE BORDER!!  ENFORCE THE LAW!!  AMERICA FIRST!!  FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

Greg Watkins; Jack Breese  Great comments. Good accurate statements. A + Heard Tom Horne on Television yesterday evening or perhaps the day before, and he is the right man for the Job he has. Schools returning to subject matter that should be taught and Teachers who stray from a curriculum that is skills oriented will be disciplined. 

Mike Lorts

Greg,

You never acknowledged my post about $35 insulin. If you were suffering from diabetes you might even be "giddy".

Many of you say I "hate" Trump. I'm frustrated by the blind loyalty by 40% of Republicans to a man that could care less about any of them. He has shown on audio and video tapes his willingness to do whatever it took to have him re-elected. His audio tape using the congressional approved aid to Ukrain to coerce the newly elected Ukrainian President to dig up dirt on Biden. His audiotape to Raffensperger asking him to find 11,780 votes. Trump once said he could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Ave and not lose one supporter. I thought wow, what an insult to his supporters. Do all of you guys consider part of that group. One of Trump's old friends described Trump this way(Trump, you either love him or he hates you)

Jim Coats

Mike Lorts.  It must be very sad when the only arrow you have in your quiver is a president who has been out of office for over 2 years.....and the only thing about that president is that he was mean.  Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Me, on the other hand, I go after the empty suit currently in the Oval.

SECURE THE BORDER!!  ENFORCE THE LAW!!  AMERICA FIRST!!

Frank Wiley

I feel sorry for all you UofA fans.  You had the curse put on you as soon as Lyin Biden picked you to win it all.  Has he ever been right about anything?!  New Subject--Sen. Cassidy of Louisiana today when questioning Janet Yellen said that the Republicans have multiple times sent messages to Lyin Biden to sit down and talk about Social Security-----with no response.  So, Lyin Biden is out there telling everyone that the Republicans are trying to take away your Social Security but refuses to sit down with Republicans to discuss the situation.  Remember when he bragged about being the Great Comprimiser?

Bill RIHS

No wonder UofA lost Frank! I never go into this stuff with great expectations, too much experience.

Bill--This year though it's the Biden curse!!

Jim,

Did you even bother to read my post #9646? Your on board with trying to overthrow a free and fair election. I wonder where you draw a line. I could care less that Trump was mean and nasty. LBJ was the meanest and nastiest but passed a landmark civil rights act by bullying a majority of southern congressmen. Most of the southern democrats switched to the Republican Party after that act. They were called Dixiecrats.

Mike Lorts

Greg,

That was quite a tap dance you just performed. Would it be just too painful for you to say this was a good thing that Biden passed. Watch all of the republicans that voted against both bills claim they got these things for their constituents.

Jim Coats

Mike Lorts.  I saw nothing in #9646 about trying to "overthrow an election."  If an election is fair and correct, I'm against trying to "overthrow" it.....or overturn it.  Either one.

BTW, the Inflation Reduction Act should be called what it really is:  Inflation Inflating Act/ Buy Votes act.  You can't cherry pick one thing and say the whole thing is just peachy.  See how I injected agriculture in there?

Did you read Jack's #9641 where he laid out again what we have been saying for a couple of years?  Maybe you should.....but it's up to you.

SECURE THE BORDER!!  AMERICA FIRST!!  ENFORCE THE LAW....I'M TALKIN' TO YOU, DEMOCRATS!!  FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

Frank Wiley

Folks--(that's gender neutral)  I know many of you don't watch Jesse Waters but he sends a person on the street to ask questions relative to what's going on in our world.  Tonight the interviewer asked (based on this being International Women's Month)  "Who is the most influential woman in History?"  One young female respondent said, "Michelle Obama!"  The interviewer ask why.  The answer was, "Because she was the first Woman President!"  God Help Us!!!

Mike Lorts

Jim,

Read my post again. You may notice a sentence regarding Trump's phone call to Raffensperger asking him to find 11,780 votes. He also made similar calls to election officials in Arizona. Poor Rusty Bowers was thrown under the Arizona Republican Bus for telling the truth to the Jan 6 commission.

Mike Lorts

I ldon't know why any listen to the lies FOX is telling you every day. Carlson, Hannity and Ingram testified under oath in the Dominion law suit that they knew they were flat out lying to they're viewers that the election was rigged. The owner Murdoch testified the same. I'm sure this is the first you've heard this because SURPRISE it's not on FOX. Carlson even said "he passionately hates Trump". Doesn't that make all of feel like mushrooms? Kept in the dark and fed sh**.

Bill RIHS

Lorts, if the Dominion info is correct I condem those who lied for it. However, until I see those emails/text I don't know, varify. Your amazed how so many Republicans still support Trump, I don't support him. I am amazed how the  House, Senate democrats and Crat votes support or ignor without question all the proven lies and unethical actions and in actions by the DOJ, FBI  and lock step followers of the feckless "leader", really?
