This huge overspending is one of the major factors driving inflation. Can't Speaker Johnson and some of these stupid and cowardly RINOs see that? And some of the pork in this bill is just disgusting like $850,000 got s gay senior home, $15 million for tuition for Egyptian college students in Egypt, $400,000 for a gay activist group to teach elementary school students about being trans, $500,000 for a DEI zoo (whatever that means), and $400.000 to a group that gives clothes to teens to help hide their gender. Why are American taxpayers paying for ANY of that crap? But I agree that opening up welfate to illegal aliens is worse than all of that combined.
Yes, Van Zant, the NC delegation sucks big time over voting for this excrement sandwich. Dan Bishop has been the only consistent conservative and he is leaving to run for Attorney General.

This doesn't say much for the N.C. delegation. If the vote were closer on getting the bill passed, I wouldn't expect Murphy to come through in that scenario. Anyway, that's my opinion.

There is a lot of awful stuff in this bill, and the worst is opening more social services to illegal aliens, when we should be doing all we can to restrict illegal aliens from getting any of that money. Iceland and Denmark have CUT welfare to illegal aliens to discourage them from trying to come. These idiots in Congress are just creating more incentive for illegal aliens to crash our border. The bill did add a handful of new border agents and a handful of new illegal alien detention beds, but that little bit does not balance what they have done to give more welfare to these migrant parasites. Speaker Johnson has sold us down the river. Shameful.
It is too close to the November election to dump Johnson now, but he needs to be dumped when Congress reconvenes in January.

Actually surprised to see Murphy voted against it. Is he running for re-election or something?

I was hopeful, that we finally had a Republican House Speaker worth a crap in Mike Johnson, but after his sellout of the taxpayers, it is now clear that we do not. This was a horrible bill, and just fuels more inflation.

It looks like Bobbie is following the Stalinist mantra that if you tell a lie enough times it becomes the truth. The badly flawed border bill he refers to was drafted by a Democrat dominated "bi-partisan" committee, with the GOP representation on it a Chamber of Commerce sellout named Lankford, who openly says he sees no difference between legal immigrants and illegal alien migrants. The bill did nothing of any significant to cut the migrant flow and quite a bit that would have encouraged it to become larger. It was pouring gasoline, not water, on the fire of illegal immigration.
Real Republicans reject the notion of doing "something" even if it is wrong, as the Lankford endorsed bill clearly was.

Bobbie, your fantasy is NOT reality. Maybe it is your version of it, influenced by some controlled substance.

Commented on How the Democrats plan to steal the 2024 electoinStan, that is just the usual mindless deflection from Little Bobbie. Presumably, he is well aware that NONE of the 2020 election controversies happened in Beaufort County, or even on the presidential level in North Carolina. They happened in major urban counties of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Even in those places, the problems were concentrated in particular counties. and in many of them Republican election observers were kicked out of the vote count, a huge red flag that something is amiss.

I know far than most what goes on around here, and I well know slander being often the victim of such, and I have never known you to slander anyone. "Say it ain't so," RINO Hunter.

Republicans who rejected republican drafted legislation on the issue....so there is that.
I guess it makes such a good campaign issue, no sense in doing anything.

Commented on How the Democrats plan to steal the 2024 electoinWe saw how the Democrats stole 2020, and our cowardly courts did nothing to stop them. I hope Republicans are ready for them in 2024 when they try the same underhanded tricks to subvert the election process.

It is easy enough to figure out the insurrection of summer 2020. It was stirred up by two Marxist extremist organizations, BLM and ANTIFA, who were looking for any excuse to foment violence and insurrection. Both Marxist groups want to destroy America,

Those who have nothing but distain and contempt for our immigration laws, will think nothing of violating our other laws as well like trying to steal people's homes.

What is particularly encouraging in this poll is that voters on the left are also swinging behind an anti-immigration party and rejecting the globalist parties of the establishment.

"Whataboutism" is the silly term that the far left screams when they are caught in one of their many double standards. Those who use it are the very worst of hypocrites. A HAMAS apologist like Bigot Bob looks like a jerk in complaining about lesser - even if they are themselves bad - incidents.

Commented on Kamala Harris: Biden Admin Now Paying College Students To Register Voters, Work At PollsA governing party spending taxpayer money to target voter registration of voter blocks aligned with the governing party is political corruption and abuse of office. People should indeed go to jail for that.
When a voter outreach program is nonpartisan, and not targeted at specific voter blocks, such as allowed registration at a Motor Vehicles office, this is nonpartisan, and a good government approach. When the target is a particular voter block, like college students, which have a heavy partisan skew, it is a different matter entirely.

Commented on The Climate Hoax is beginning to fall apartShoot the messenger, Bobbie? Zero Hedge is just who published the article. The actual information comes from a professional meteorologist Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell, which has probably the best track record of predicting hurricanes.
The Homeowners insurance companies rip us off by using the same digital voodoo that the climate alarmists do, computer modelling, instead of real data. With computer modelling, you can set up the model to produce any results you want. Insurance companies should be forced to go back to using real data, not this fraudulent voodoo. Charging the east a whole lot more for wind insurance does NOT track with their actual payouts on wind claims compared to rates and claims in the piedmont and west. Oh, and here is Senator John Kennedy demolishing a climate alarmist "expert" in a Senate hearing: redstate.com

Commented on Kamala Harris: Biden Admin Now Paying College Students To Register Voters, Work At PollsRight, the government would have no interest in participation. We the people should just keep quiet. Much better to let a few rich nut jobs make all the choices.
MAGA- actually supports leaders that have nothing in common with you
