What about the ongoing discrimination against those who have not taken the Covid “vaccine” in hospitals? You cannot work in many hospitals in the Northeast without it. Still. Today.
This has been forgotten. My GF is in a doctorate program and has been unable to secure clinical postings anywhere within 100 miles of our home in NH due to all hospitals requiring the shots. She has a legitimate medical exemption. They are so arrogant they just don’t care.
Other issues: 1. secure the border, 2. Deport criminals illegals, 3. Ensure election integrity, 4. Extend tax cuts to promote growth so that everyone wins., 5. Clean up the three letter agencies, 6, bring on Elon to find $2 trillion in waste.
Dave, overshadowed in Biden's "garbage" speech, he said something like, "And Trump is talking about ending birthright citizenship. Who's even talked about that in the last hundred years?"
His ignorance stunned my (even now) since just about every other Western nation had talked about it and ended it.
With regard to nationality, Mexico's laws make sense. Two ways of acquiring nationality by blood or by land. By land, one parent must have a legal presence (permanent residency, or temporary residency, tourist/business visa doesn't count). By blood if one parent has nationality. Nationality and citizenship are two different concepts in Mexico. Citizenship in Mexico is acquired by a national that has acquired an elector identification so they can vote. Citizenship means participation in the electoral process.
I had a wonderful friend from high school. She was Mexican. I ran into her in a laundry mat years later after high school. She told me she was gay. I told her I didn't know and I did not care. She then proceeded to complain about people coming here illegally from Mexico. (I have no idea why she started talking about that to this day.)
Shw said her people hated those that came here illegally. They hated it and they had a nasty nickname for them. She told me and I was shocked.
I refuse to say what it was but she said they hated them and have no respect for them for not coming here legally. I was so surprised to learn of this.
She did point out she was surprised I would talk to her and I reassured her of course I would! We always sat next to each other in homeroom due to our last names and we were in a group of very athletic & competitive people. We were called tomboys and in today's world, people would call us gay and teachers would tell us we should have gender changing surgery. Only two of us were known to be gay and no one cared. We just loved sports! Amazing how times have changed peoples' judgements.
For those that still believe vaccines “ work”, please read the undisputed book, “ Turtles All The Way Down.” In addition to “ The Real Anthony Fauci” by JFK jr., it gives insight like a punch in the gut. I was never anti-vax until the Covid chaos. Like so many others, I blindly trusted our safety agencies, dr.s, and “proof” from the past. I received 2 Moderna Covid poison shots, because it was strongly encouraged by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. They referenced the CDC. After that, I started to research all of it, & haven’t stopped.
It’s all bad, all vaccines. Every single one. To what extent, we just don’t know. Nobody knows. That’s the problem. When new vaccines for instance, are tested for effectiveness, they are tested with the placebo group using the older version vaccine, NOT saline. WHY? Because otherwise, the new vaccine would never be accepted by FDA, because of safety concerns. The true side effects of the most common vaccines, including childhood scheduled shots, are unknown. The reason given for this placebo procedure is, “ because it’s always been done this way.”
This is unacceptable, & unconscionable in 2024. We can do better. We have to start questioning this, for our children’s health, and the future health of our country. 🇺🇸
If you support vaccines, make sure you can articulate & show facts on why you do. Read who sponsors the trials & studies you want to show as proof. The conflict of interests in this field is staggering. So are the profits.
On this we agree. While I am not at all happy about Trump's big win, because of other issues where he and I are not at all aligned, I do sincerely hope he follows through on MAHA and Bobby "going wild" on Big Pharma. The reckoning is due.
On environment and energy issues she's far better; on civil discourse she's far better; on immigration she's far better (I am an open borders guy and think the hoopla over immigration and crime is massively over blown); on human rights issues issues and racial equity she's far better; and yes I did appreciate that she was female and a minority and would have applauded her win for all of these reasons -- but yes I agree she and the corporate Dems were horrible on: 1) foreign policy and war in many ways, particularly in recent years; 2) Big Pharma and scamdemic, and being so incredibly wrong on "the science" surrounding the pandemic; 3) suppression of free speech.
You are an open border guy? Can I come to your home? And send some friends over too? Do you have a fence? A gate? Ring service? Or you mean open border when it doesn’t touch you.
You see I come from Israel, we all speak Hebrew there, when you have a melting pot it means everyone is learning the language of the country, in this case Hebrew tat was spoken by jews for centuries.
Here in America, it is supped to be English. we area nation of immigrants but we ere never a nation of open borders.
We like any other nation have the right to decide what kind of people we let in, you do not have a RIGHT to be admitted in. Just like, I can not just come with friends to your house without an invention.
Is that sound reasonable? To accept people based on the merit, or to help them, but to demand they speak the language?
You see I think of this country as my home, and I defend my home.
As an "open borders guy", what would be your limit? Do you think 10,000,000 in a span of about 3 - 4 years is the right number? Are you OK with small midwestern towns being suddenly increased in population by 20-40% knowing all of the infrastructure ramifications of that? Are you OK with the fact that our government now has no idea where 350,000 children are located? Are you OK with the number of known criminals that have just sauntered across our border because it has been overrun? ALL of us are aware we are a nation of immigrants. 99.99% of Americans are absolutely OK with this and encourage it. But this "open border" is national suicide.
Another priority, although no one else is talking about it, is thatTrump needs to end withholding taxes. It is revenue neutral since no rates are changed and he could do it via a “deferral” so that everyone would either pay on 4/15 or quarterly. This would expose the true size of the federal government because people would not have the concept of “after tax” pay but just “pay” and then they’d be outraged at the waste.
"Otherwise Big Pharma will continue to try to stretch the definition of vaccines so that"
LOL... stretching the definition of "Vaccine" isn't solely the act of big pharma! The CDC went right along with it in August or Sept of 2021, as I learned from Alex. (They removed any reference to "immunity.")
No kidding. Epic. It might be true Pharma advertising supports the whole corrupt mess. Think of all the advertising dollars spent supporting the nets. Without that, where would they be. Broke? 👏👏👏
The machine gun ban too... repeal that. Get rid of BATF except for excise tax collection and nothing more. They and the FBI have redundant capabilities.
Ban labeling people who have chronic pain conditions that regularly see drs and are on pain medications addicts. We are not! Stop penalizing those drs who are correctly doing their jobs and not abusing prescribing medications Stop making us suffer even more than we already are!
It looked good on paper, business wise. He likely was unaware of the long-term consequences. But the buck stops on his desk, and 1986, for me, really taints his legacy.
Alex is so correct about this. But I'd like to add another "freebie" that got through Congress that needs to be cancelled: the inability of student loans to be erased in a bankruptcy case. That enormous gift to banks spawned the profligate growth in college tuition costs. Banks, doing almost no underwriting, were happy to finance anything (basketweaving, gender studies, etc.) and the colleges were happy to have the students, even if their graduates would spend the rest of their lives in bondage to forever debts.
I think the "risk" should also be borne by the colleges and universities. If a student is incurring educational debt, then it should be incumbent upon the school to insure that the student graduates with a degree that will allow them to repay the debt. There are too many frivolous degrees out there!
I think it's ridiculous that colleges get federal funds when they have multi billion dollar endowments like Yale. Yale should use endowment money to finance student loans.
And we need a complete reckoning on the FDA and CDC handling of the Covid era in light of the Nuremburg Code and Helsinki Accords. Full Congressional investigation, with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as chief advisor.
With RFK on board if ever there was a time in history to make SERIOUS changes across the board in Pharma, and the corrupt in bed agencies "we the people" FUND, it is this next administration. Just absolutely DONE with the coddled and low T approach in enforcing ACCOUNTABILITY in the swamp. Trump must introduce some serious tough love measures! It will piss off a lot of the WOKE and enabling sheep and sheep media, but it MUST be done.
One related policy move that RFK could pull off without congressional action would be to withhold federal education funds from states that mandate vaccines in any way. Instead of a formal process to opt out, parents would have the option to get whatever vaccines they want for their kids, or none if that is what they prefer.
Second is banning pharmaceutical advertising to consumers.
Absolutely right!! Around one half to two thirds the ads I see on TV are for drugs. Then there is the ridiculous caveat: “This drug may kill you.”
I'd put it as #1. It's used to control the messaging/content/bias.
The additional benefit of driving a stake into the heart of the elite/mainstream/corporate media.
Absolutely... AND #1 prosicute Fauci
What about the ongoing discrimination against those who have not taken the Covid “vaccine” in hospitals? You cannot work in many hospitals in the Northeast without it. Still. Today.
And ending the Green Card vax mandate, one of the few remaining mandates.
I didn’t realize this. This is horrible!
This has been forgotten. My GF is in a doctorate program and has been unable to secure clinical postings anywhere within 100 miles of our home in NH due to all hospitals requiring the shots. She has a legitimate medical exemption. They are so arrogant they just don’t care.
Alex, you are correct about this too. The time has come to end the "experts can't be challenged" mindset. They should be challenged at every step.
Other issues: 1. secure the border, 2. Deport criminals illegals, 3. Ensure election integrity, 4. Extend tax cuts to promote growth so that everyone wins., 5. Clean up the three letter agencies, 6, bring on Elon to find $2 trillion in waste.
Drill baby drill too
8. End chain migration and anchor-baby citizenship.
9. End secrecy and "classifying" everything that is embarrassing to the regime.
Little chance of that.
End birthright citizenship unless the parent(s) have a legal presence (nationality, permanent residency, visa (not tourist) in the US.

Edit: just noticed a typo
send Liz Cheney to the front lines with a rifle to valiantly fight for our Ukranian brothers and sisters!

No more voting 16 different ways! I did not know that was going on until this morning! That is insane! (No! I am not saying "bananas"!)
On this we agree. While I am not at all happy about Trump's big win, because of other issues where he and I are not at all aligned, I do sincerely hope he follows through on MAHA and Bobby "going wild" on Big Pharma. The reckoning is due.
It will be great! He is not perfect, but he is a reasonable guy. Every person that met him say he listen and then makes up is mind.
It will be great!
I'm not sure reason is Trump's strong suit. Just saying
That’s funny. What are you basing this opinion on?
We had great four years.
Did he have around him some people that gave him bad advice? Yes, did he learned from it? Yes! I hope that he knows what to do.
Remember that the lockdown was something he did not want you to do.
All due respect, please tell me you would have preferred the other budala candidate, Harris?

You're forgetting we're 100% a nation of immigrants. Here are some good arguments for open borders in the modern era: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/open-borders-immigration/
You see I come from Israel, we all speak Hebrew there, when you have a melting pot it means everyone is learning the language of the country, in this case Hebrew tat was spoken by jews for centuries.

You didn't read the link clearly: we WERE a nation of open borders, as almost all nations were, until very recently.

I believe Elon Musk would be appointed to that position, excellent choice imho. Cheers all.
The Covid jabs have proved how utterly corrupt and dangerous the FDA is!
"Otherwise Big Pharma will continue to try to stretch the definition of vaccines so that"
LOL... stretching the definition of "Vaccine" isn't solely the act of big pharma! The CDC went right along with it in August or Sept of 2021, as I learned from Alex. (They removed any reference to "immunity.")
The CDC works for Big Pharma.
There's a revolving door between the two. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, commissioner of the FDA to Board of directors of Pfizer.
Pharma advertising might be the key to collapsing the whole thing. Do it.
Think what ending pharma advertising would do to the "main-stream" media!
No kidding. Epic. It might be true Pharma advertising supports the whole corrupt mess. Think of all the advertising dollars spent supporting the nets. Without that, where would they be. Broke? 👏👏👏
100% agree.
1986 was a dark year, legislatively. It also created the loopholes to exploit our immigration system.
The machine gun ban too... repeal that. Get rid of BATF except for excise tax collection and nothing more. They and the FBI have redundant capabilities.
Ban labeling people who have chronic pain conditions that regularly see drs and are on pain medications addicts. We are not! Stop penalizing those drs who are correctly doing their jobs and not abusing prescribing medications Stop making us suffer even more than we already are!
why didn't Reagan veto all of that? was he senile by then? did they have the votes to override him??
It looked good on paper, business wise. He likely was unaware of the long-term consequences. But the buck stops on his desk, and 1986, for me, really taints his legacy.
“Should produce immunity not receive it.” Freaking brilliant!
I liked that, too. I can't believe that is the first time I have heard it because it is such an obvious statement.
Alex is so correct about this. But I'd like to add another "freebie" that got through Congress that needs to be cancelled: the inability of student loans to be erased in a bankruptcy case. That enormous gift to banks spawned the profligate growth in college tuition costs. Banks, doing almost no underwriting, were happy to finance anything (basketweaving, gender studies, etc.) and the colleges were happy to have the students, even if their graduates would spend the rest of their lives in bondage to forever debts.
And every kid declares bankruptcy on graduation. Too easy. Hold the schools responsible if kids don't pay.
I think the "risk" should also be borne by the colleges and universities. If a student is incurring educational debt, then it should be incumbent upon the school to insure that the student graduates with a degree that will allow them to repay the debt. There are too many frivolous degrees out there!
I think it's ridiculous that colleges get federal funds when they have multi billion dollar endowments like Yale. Yale should use endowment money to finance student loans.
And we need a complete reckoning on the FDA and CDC handling of the Covid era in light of the Nuremburg Code and Helsinki Accords. Full Congressional investigation, with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as chief advisor.
And a disengagement from the WHO.
With RFK on board if ever there was a time in history to make SERIOUS changes across the board in Pharma, and the corrupt in bed agencies "we the people" FUND, it is this next administration. Just absolutely DONE with the coddled and low T approach in enforcing ACCOUNTABILITY in the swamp. Trump must introduce some serious tough love measures!

One related policy move that RFK could pull off without congressional action would be to withhold federal education funds from states that mandate vaccines in any way. Instead of a formal process to opt out, parents would have the option to get whatever vaccines they want for their kids, or none if that is what they prefer.
Sounds like COMMON sense once again. Most things are until the government get's involved
