POTUS Shutdown or Lockout?

Submitted by ub on

#Russia, if you're listening, please instruct the 3 #Republican #Turncoats - #Donald #Mitch #Lindsey to immediately open the federal government. I think you will be rewarded mightily.

Who gets the credit after literally nothing was accomplished except that nearly one million Americans had to endure stress and hardship placed on them by a 72 year old toddler with a temper tantrum.

Reflecting on MLK Day

Submitted by ub on

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, we want to express our gratitude for our community of thoughtful readers are supporters.

Dr. Martin Luther King believed in bridges, not walls and respected those who disagreed with him, while still taking a stand for nonviolence and racial justice. With the constant polarization in our nation today, his message is a great reminder to hope for something different and to speak out.

It is soon going to be East vs West Coast as New England Patriots battle Los Angeles Rams on February 2, 2019, at The Super Bowl.

Both playoff games went into overtime, but only one team will have played, not one, three, six but nine times.

Does the Brady Belichick tag team prove once again that all they need to continue #NFL dominance is the best Coach and Quarterback in the league and anyone, as well as everyone else, can become interchangeable?

The distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time with extremely cold conditions are really like the ones affecting 88 million Americans across the USA. NYC could then see 50 degrees by Thursday.

Most parents know that toddlers seek attention. Democrats had no deal for POTUS big reveal. US House Speaker, Representative Nancy Pelosi California Democrat rejected POTUS offer to trade $5.7 billion for a permanent wall in exchange for a temporary "Dreamers." extension.

Open Says We

Submitted by ub on

It’s We The People who must demand that Trump open up the federal government, which he was happy to take the blame for shutting down over a wall. He told #USA taxpayers Mexico would pay for, but the funds have never materialized.

Should stunts and impulsive messages from the president count as formal policy actions? What's going on here?
Everyone supports border security, but the majority of Americans don’t support wasting money on his ridiculous wall.
