About the ppl w the ability to take our $$ & spend our $$:
There are men who are like women, in that they are not satisfied to let things just be. AS a woman I know how it is to feel the urge to change the furniture around, buy new Things, remodel the kitchen...replace perfectly good windows ;-)

The men seem to always have the urge to make new unneeded regulations & laws, rearrange 15th street instead of 5th street, build a new school, consolidate a school...

Depending on the title of your job determines what you think needs changing.

I have found that there are lots of things i dont need, I just Want.
I have found that some new things just make more work for myself or causes me to spend more money maintaining the new things I wanted. Or, a new law requires additional laws to clarify that new law. It goes on & on.

Yes, fix whats broken, but sometimes fixing what isnt broken, breaks it.
Its a fact: Except for H & S, Top talent does not reside n local Govt.

I use a CalyxOS operating system, one of the de-Googling systems, on my Android phone. All the Google elements that collect your data are removed from the phone and replaced with others that guard your privacy. There are other systems out there that de-Google your phone but this is the one I have been using and it works great.

You can get the CalyxOS and install it on any Android phone or buy an Android with it already installed. I did the latter. Several of the other de-Googled operating systems give either option as well. A European group that promotes privacy oriented phones only sells their system already installed on a specific brand of Android phone.

Let me also mention one to avoid and that is the Freedom Phone, which was hyped a lot on conservative sites a few years ago. They sold the entire phone with the system installed. The hardware was very cheap Chinese junk, but sold at a high price. The system installed was the first generation of a different de-Googling system that was no longer even offered to customers by its developer which had improved significantly on that version to develop its current product. All in all, not a very good value.

Tillis has worn out his welcome with just about everybody except the special interests he panders to. He is unelectable. It is way past time for Republicans to move on from Tillis. Don Brown seems like a good choice. Tillis serving the Deep State by blocking Ed Martin was absolutely the last straw.

Tillis is a notorious amnesty whore who sucks up to the US Chamber of Commerce special interests. We definitely need to replace him with someone we can rely on. Dan Brown would be a huge improvement.

I’d be proud to vote for a staunch conservative mega Conservative over the RINO Thom Tillis. I have not missed an election in 20 years and always vote Conservative.

Tillis needs to go. Brown sounds like he would make a much better senator, but can he raise the money to defeat Tillis? I hope so. Tillis will be flush with special interest money since he is a special interest poodle in the senate.

Don Brown would be a very welcome change from "Terrible Thom" Tillis.

These damned corrupt Obama judges, and in fact all judges, failed to stop the Biden regime from going around our duly adopted immigration law to make up ways to bring in millions of illegal aliens. Now these corrupt judges are trying to protect those executive actions by Biden that make a mockery of our actual immigration laws.

Unless they wake up and back our immigration laws instead of lawless Biden, then our entire judicial system is so corrupt that it just needs to be abandoned and replaced with something else. Maybe President Trump should take after Presidents Andrea Jackson and Abraham Lincoln and just tell the courts to get stuffed. Lincoln even issued an order for the arrest of the Chief Justice.

How does J.B. Pritzker get elected?

Such Frightening prospect for this Republic that this Fat Fool has any degree of governing responsibility.

We need one good strong candidate to take on Tillis in the primary, and Lara Trump would fit that bill. Whoever runs, we need them to get out from soon. Tillis needs to go. I understand Lara and her husband own a house here. She needs to move her registration soon. Lara Trump would be great. ANYBODY BUT TILLIS.

Labour and the Conservatives have been all talk and no DO on stopping illegal immigration. Border security is now a top issue for the British people and they are turning to the Reform Party to do something about it.
