to help out ICE in Chicago.
Are they gonna let the Texas National Guard members return home while the issue is adjudicated by higher courts?
I’m sure that the NatGuard boys and girls have better things to do than wait around in a warehouse 40 miles from Chicago waiting for the courts to get their thumbs out.
Where did all the money go when Slow Joe sold our energy security to bring oil down in price to help ease the economic tension on the US voters so his party had a better chance in the Midterms? That oil that was sold was paid for by the purchasers at market price, IIRC about $80 per barrel or so within 30 days….
Now Congress has to approve the funding for the repurchase of Crude oil? Where did that money that was generated when the SPR was sold off last time go?…. And why will it “take years” to do the Purchase? There are people ready and willing to deliver millions of barrels even at this low price….so why do we have to wait “years” to do so? (It shoulda been started the day after inauguration, IMO.

My Halloween decorations won’t hang themselves.
It is said that the SNAP food benefits will soon stop. I guess that the folks doing the administration of the program aren’t “Essential Workers”….
I cannot find it in me to see the bad part of this, as most SNAP (Food Stamps) folks live on them, not as a temporary measure, but as income used as part of their budget….but mostly they also have nicer cars, and can afford expensive purses and get their hair done every other week…..and they have money for smokes, beer and drugs….AND they go to ‘Food Banks” as well for additional food….and they can always seem to afford Starbucks or equivalent expensive coffee drinks and such. I have never seen a SNAP recipient that was “lean” or “skinny.”… Never seen one with calluses, either, come to think of it.
Not everyone is mooching, but a significant portion of the recipients are….
(and yes, I know that there are people, deserving people, who truly need SNAP and Food Pantries..but they are the minority)
But the representatives of the Pilsen Food Pantry (whose workers posted on their webpage certainly are not representative of the community demographics) were on the CBS Chicago news saying that they expected even MORE people once SNAP goes away…and they will need even more donations to cope….
And “Food is a Human RIght”. she said.
Hah. Bullshit.
Looks like people are gonna have to make some hard choices:…..Food… or booze, Starbucks and fashion. Drugs and smokes plus losing weight. Maybe working to get enough money to eat….
I dunno.
Of all the time wasted by the “No Kingz” useful idiots…
If they had applied all that energy, time and resources to improving their community rather than protesting for a non existent cause they might have actually made a change for the better….
But that is Liberals in a nutshell, innit?
I am sure that most of them, however, are SURE that they Made A Difference yesterday.
It’s what engineers and anyone who can do the math have been telling folks for years:
When they look closely (and correctly) at Battery powered cars, they are gonna find that they aren’t as “green” as people think either.
Not everyone will appreciate this parody. For that matter, not everyone will realize that behind the parody is a lot of truth….
