The 3rd Congressional District Republican Executive Committee passed a resolution against the Obamacare Medicaid expansion today, and the vote was unanimous. Party leaders do NOT want this legislation.

The Beaufort County Schools are not providing much transparency, and their proposed woke social studies curriculum is a case in point. When this was on last month's agenda, they had not provided more than a summary to school board members, yet seem to want them to rubber stamp it, even though that summary showed the curriculum was totally woke. I understnad that some of the new school board members were trying to get access to the whole thing, but haven't heard if they were successful. But it is not just the school board members that ought to see this, it is also the parents. We badly need more transparency in the Beaufort County schools.

Norway and Israel are other countries that have paid illegal alien migrants to go home, as it is cheaper than what it costs to process them for deportation. False asylum claims are a huge racket on both sides of the Atlantic, encouraged by Soros-funded NGOs. Most of those who try to claim asylum are economic migrants who do not qualify. Also, even if they would qualify and they are already in a safe country, they can be turned away. Hungary does a great job with that, immediately taking any captured illegal alien before a magistrate who immediate rules that they entered from a safe country and orders them expelled back across the border. That is what we should be doing on our southern border.

Denmark can look across to Sweden and the huge mess they have from illegal immigration and are doing their best not to go down the same path. Of course that is why the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats did so well in the last Swedish election and why the center-right ousted the left.

In another class, I remember an example of syllogistic reasoning:
Either it is raining
Or it is not raining
It is not raining
Therefore it is raining

Silly is the right term for this. No applied knowledge or common sense. When will we "awoken" to either of these again?

It is funny how the biased MSM always amplifies false Democrat claims about the GOP cutting Medicare, but now when Biden and the Democrats are actually moving to do it, they are silent. The MSM are propagnadists, not journalists. And where is the liberal AARP?

No ...

I know who I am to my core, and so do my constituents.

I don't know if you got the memo yet Big Bob, but dishonest people are not as much in demand anymore ... It may remain different in your circle, but in the real world, dishonesty is finally meeting its due end.

My real situation here is that I just have always been on the leading edge of that whole honesty thing ... "(Insert eye roll)."

Yep, I am "that guy (Insert eye roll)."

To which, I don't tolerate liars, or hypocrites, and I sure don't tolerate a RINO, which is all of the above.

Yeah, I have paid those kind of dues to deserve to be "that guy."

The War on History is as integral a part of the Woke revolution as it was Mao's Cultural Rebolution. In America, they started with Confederate leaders, then moved on to famous explorers and American founding fathers. They continued from Confederate leaders to Union figures of the War Between the States. Recently, Democrats in Congress filed a bill to remove the Lincoln statute in Lincoln Park in Washington, DC that celebrates the freeing of the slaves and was actually paid for by freed slaves. That is exactly what Mao did with Chinese history.

That's BS, Bobby. Those who enter gay conversion therapy do so voluntarily to get the homosexual monkey off of their back. From what I have read about it, it is all discussion and reasoning, not heavy duty drugs or surgery like the brutal "transgender" conversions.

Unfortunately too many children are confronted involuntarily with heterosexual conversion therapy to try to make them homosexual. It is called today's public school. Or if they are not being groomed to be homosexual, it is to be "transgender" and it is sick.

Nice. I like people who can stand up to the mindless group think. I would suggest republicans actually try to govern rather than pander to the base. Oh wait. They can't. The mid terms gave them a 5 vote majority in Congress, lost the senate and white house.

Biden and his rogues could learn from a lot of other countries too, like Australia's military led Operation Sovereign Borders under Prime Minister Tony Abbott where inbound migrant boats were spotted far off of Australia's shore by intensive surveillance and intercepted and turned around at gunpoint back to where they came from. Israel's border wall that has been very successful in stopping illegal alien migrants is another country Biden could learn from. So is Hungary tough attitude, and giving immediate pro forma hearing to any that manage to get across, and then immediately eject them back across the border. So are Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia's record of sending their militaries to the border with robust rules of engagement to stop the migrants from entering.

It is shameful that the US and UK are putting illegal aliens who broke the law to enter our countries up in luxury hotels at taxpayer expense.
