    2024 US Presidential Election

    Perhaps they were here legally, but according to authorities, they were not permitted to work. In the final analysis, they made some money, and their story became world news. I'm not shedding any more tears for them than anybody did for me when I was laid off due to staff reductions and the...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    The United States has the overwhelming greatest number of illegal aliens. The Hyundai factory workers from South Korea were not here legally, so violent or not, they were breaking the law and subject to deportation. According to one report covering January to May 2025, 12% of those deported...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Trump is cleaning up crime and violence in cities, and ICE is capturing and deporting many illegal immigrants who are violent criminals. Wealthy liberals who pay substandard wages to illegals who work for them are not happy about the deportations. Working people who are tired of having their...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Have there been any riots, assaults, or killings in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk? I doubt it. If somebody of his stature on the Democratic left had been the victim, everybody knows there would have been violence against innocent people and against property as a result.

    Many, if not most, world leaders have "terrible personality traits". If they were easy-going and striving to be mellow, they would not get very far. Trump may be more intense at times because he is also a very experienced and successful businessman. I want somebody who has what it takes to run...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    You have come to the point that hurling crude insults towards those with whom you disagree is your only argument. I last posted in this thread five days ago. There is no evidence that Trump has engaged in the behaviors that you accuse him of, so discussing it is pointless. Trump has been...

    Google European loans to Ukraine with frozen Russian assets. This is a very clever strategy, compared to Biden's multi-billion-dollar taxpayer giveaways, with no diplomatic attempts to end the conflict. Kamala would likely have done it the same way as Biden.

    This is not true. Trump has never said anything like that about Republican voters. It began circulating on the internet in 2015. People Magazine has said that they have no record of this quote.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I'm not disturbed at all that Trump is getting a roasting in the European press. They supported a total idiot, Kamala Harris, because it would have been to their advantage, at the expense of America and the American people, if she had won. The population of the E.U. is larger than that of the...

    NYS Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently under investigation for mortgage fraud, has had another major setback. A New York state appeals court voided the massive civil fraud penalty imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron on President Donald Trump in a case that James filed against him. The...

    President Trump is demanding the resignation of Lisa D. Cook, who was appointed by Biden in 2022 to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. She is facing accusations of mortgage fraud.

    New to Tinnitus After Hearing Loss: Trying Lipo-Flavonoid, Curious About Hearing Aids and Other Remedies

    I’m sorry you have to deal with tinnitus along with hearing loss. About six years ago, I visited a top ENT in NYC who also has tinnitus. He told me he had tried everything that was supposed to help, but nothing worked for him. I also went for therapy with a doctoral-level psychologist who...

    The prejudicial verdict by a corrupt Trump-hating judge in Trump's non-jury civil trial is another matter. I still cannot believe how stupid James is. She was expecting to seize a large part of Trump's assets and interfere with his campaign. She not only failed to accomplish either of these...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Letitia James' political career as NYS Attorney General has been almost entirely based on denying Donald Trump his constitutional right of freedom of speech, because she did not like him. During her campaign, she vowed to "get" him. As NYS Attorney General, she ran a judicially corrupt civil...

    NYS Attorney General Letitia James is finally being investigated by a grand jury for violating Trump’s rights. I would like to see her go to prison, but I would settle for her losing her job and her license to practice law in NYS.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I do not care whether the leaders and citizens of other countries disapprove of Trump. He is the leader of a major competitor of theirs. If they were highly supportive of him, this would indicate that he would not be the type of president that we need. Kamala was their choice, and if she had...

    It's great that there are all of these comedy videos and funny memes about President Trump. He's doing a fantastic job, and there's no reason not to have some fun with his persona. Newsweek has conducted an analysis that concludes that his first six months in office have been the most...

    President Trump has fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, who was appointed by Biden. She altered numbers to favor the Democrats, and later falsified them to hurt Trump.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Don't you think that during the four years Biden was in office, if there was evidence of any true scandals that the Democrats could have used against Trump, they would have brought them out? They libeled him for years, tried all kinds of unethical maneuvers in and out of court, and failed to...

    Kamala Harris lost the support of her "mentor," Willie Brown. He recently said he advised her not to accept the job of Vice President, and told her that she would have been better to have set her sights on the Supreme Court. He believes that this was the reason she stopped talking to him. He...

    The Japan trade deal is great. Their tariffs for autos and other goods will be lowered to 15%. For other countries, the average tariffs for the U.S. in 2024 were about 2.5%; now they stand at about 17%. Trump is doing great, and many economists who were critical now admit that they were...

    The Trump administration is doing fine. The markets are coming back, and some have reached all-time highs. The unemployment rate is low, at 4.1%. ICE is working very hard to catch and deport many more criminal illegal immigrants. There is nothing wrong with immigration, but not the kind that...

    OK, I get it. The “autistic ketamine addict” is the wealthiest man in the world, and Mr. Bronzer is the most powerful. The former should focus on medical breakthroughs, and the latter did not destroy the economy through tariffs, which has surprised some financial pundits who had predicted he...

    I was thinking about this earlier as well. It’s highly unlikely that he will be able to deport more than a fraction of the 15 to 20 million undocumented immigrants during his term. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that, as of June 11, 2025, over 207,000 migrants have been...

    Don’t give up. In the beginning of having tinnitus, we all experience moments when we do not hear it. Over time, those moments become longer—first stretching into minutes, then into extended periods lasting hours. Eventually, you may not hear the tinnitus at all unless you focus on it. Many...
