Many of the departments or agencies in the Federal Govt. are not listed as rights of the United States under Article 1 Section 8 and it doesn't seem they should exist. The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Past time to look at these agencies/departments and see what is a right of the US and what should be a States right or simply be a right of we the people.

The reactive nature of the Non Patriot Leftists is full bore pathetic at this sorry point.

Little Bobbie is whining about the $40 million that Space X is getting paid to rescue the lost in space astronauts who Biden has left stranded for months on the International Space Station. Space X seems to be the only ones capable of retrieving them. Does Little Bobbie propose that they just be left to die in space?

They really need to start indicting some of these amnesty whore Democrat politicians for the felony of harboring illegal aliens, a separate count for each one they harbor. Lock them up!

This is just the outrage of the week. Extremism requires you to be constantly pissed off lest you realize you’re being played.

Democrats search for waste, fraud, and corruption in government spending? Is the Pope Muslim? That would not happen in a trillion years.

Anyone who is against DOGE must be a supporter of government waster, fraud, and corruption AND a supporter of the Deep State. The bureaucracy is out of control and our country needs someone with the skill set to sort out what is going on. DOGE has found a whole lot of wasted money. Do you want that waste to continue?

Big Bob I’m not sure what your comment is even referring to. I was commenting on the video of the meeting as a whole.

I agree with Mr. Langley in that we are all members of the same body.

“For the body is not one member, but many.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”

I believe all the commissioners are respectable men and all of them make valid points and raise appropriate concerns regarding the issues at hand. A little back and forth debate is a good thing if questions can be asked and answered without things becoming personal. The commissioners wont and shouldn’t always agree, they each bring their own point of view and field of expertise, but they also shouldn’t just vote in lock step with their faction to “stick it to the other guy”.

If there are issues that need to be called out then they should be. We are told to rebuke our brother if we see him step out of the light, not out of hate, but out of love. That he may be ashamed and judge within himself his own ways. May we be wise as serpents yet gentle as doves. Let us not get too rebellious against one another that our intents become so harsh against our neighbors. “Vengeance is mine” so saith the Lord. Let us aim to be honest in our actions and endeavors toward each other, seeing the big picture beyond the political degree. If we be divided we fall.

Washingtonian I’m sure you’re probably right. I’m not too studied up on water treatment engineering, give me a few weeks to look into it and I could figure it out, but it just seems like a water treatment plant should treat the water effectively. If it’s not, we should know why.

And a sewage treatment plant dumping into the river just doesn’t sound good whether the water was treated or not, I’m sure it was probably an emergency due to flooding but still.

Did the voting community of Washington not vote in the members of both boards that you seem to have such an issue with? I seem to remember that the husband/wife members you are speaking of were just part of the ballot and they were reelected. If this was such an issue, should this have not been looked at prior to the election? I had been following the page for a while, but it seems that recently it is just targeted attacks at certain individuals.

And, there are still Leftists who believe that the Democratic Socialist Propagandistic Media is not bought and paid for by the Non Patriot Left ... and with YOUR money.
