    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    The Dems have always been champions of it from Clinton onward. Remember NAFTA? But free market capitalism requires regulation, and unions, not that they amount to much nowadays--the Dems are still happy to take union money, as long as the unions remain degenerate.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    One of the problems is that large RE companies, often foreign, are buying large tracts of single-family homes by bidding up prices and turning them into rentals. Remember when you were complaining that one of the tents of "globalism" is that nobody would have to own anything? That's neoliberalism.

    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    That is where I think you are mistaken. Both the Democrats and Republicans are neoliberal, with one being socially liberal and the other socially conservative. The Berniecrats are the odd man out, lukewarm social liberals and closer to free market capitalism than either the Democrats or the...

    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    No, only the definitions. Democratic Socialism is not stable without some effort and can easily slide into authoritarian socialism. By the same token, free market capitalism is not stable either and can easily move toward authoritarian capitalism--"oligarchy" as you call it, but correctly...

    MAGA takes Medicaid Personal Health Records

    I'm surprised there hasn't been more crowing about this. "The database will reveal to ICE officials the names, addresses, birth dates, ethnic and racial information, as well as Social Security numbers for all people enrolled in Medicaid. The state and federally funded program provides health...

    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    What specifically about socialism? When you look at Berniecrats generally, their policies are closer to free market capitalism than either the Republicans or the neoliberal faction of the Democrats.

    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    She has frequently been accused of antisemitism. You could always go back to that.. She pretty much follows the line of her church on Israel, so you would get a twofer.

    AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

    And apparently you don't know what she has done about it, either, and don't particularly care to find out. But I do notice that the cops have busted the 18th St. gang, which was driving much of the crime in her district, so maybe you'll just have to find something else to rag on her about.

    Trump Burns 500 Tons of Food Meant for the Hungry

    Since January 20th, when USAID was shut down at least. Their contractors could have distributed it, but it is lost on no one that their biggest single contractor for that sort of thing was the Roman Catholic church.

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Before she retired, my wife was into hog farm management, farms in which most of the heavy lifting is done by Mexicans, some US citizens or green card holders, most on H visas. Seems to work fine, some of her people had been on the farms for years. If there really are jobs here that only...

    Trump Burns 500 Tons of Food Meant for the Hungry

    What sources would those be? If I had any "sources" I would certainly share them, because all I see here is guesses, including mine. But when I see food that was intended for the poor destroyed in that spectacular way I wonder why, and all I see is an act that is consistent (as if anything in...

    Noah's Ark

    We're talking about a story in a book about a flood. Whether there was an actual identifiable flood which gave the author the basis of the story, or whether he just based it on the general idea that big floods are catastrophies is an interesting question, but it has nothing to do with whether...

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Not MAGA Not MAGA Not MAGA That's MAGA, but they have to struggle not to be seen doing it. Yeah, well. That's just me. crippling the country by being critical of the Trump administration. I don't think the Christian Right wants any part of that.

    America Doesnt Want More Children

    But the real issue is not the doctrine of the churches themselves. Some churches teach that the sex stuff is sinful, others not so much. But even many of those churches who teach that the sex stuff is sinful don't go on to require that Christian sins be criminalized for the non-Christians...

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Top of the agenda, of course, is that there shouldn't be a next Democratic President. But I was talking about withinn the administration. Some of Trump's constituents want criminals prioritized. Some want illegal workers prioritized but some want them left alone. Some want asylum seekers...
