Why Border Security is needed
This is why we need a functioning immigration system, like we had before the felon’s first term, not why we need to defund immigration courts, not why we should halt asylum and refugee programs, not why we need to defund the border patrol like Republicans voted for.
The $20 million of taxpayer money used to go to the Super Bowl could have been spent hiring 400 border agents for an entire year! Or 100 immigration judges, either of which could make a noticeable positive difference. The $10 million spent on golf so far, another 200/50. The $1 million per military flight (instead of $8k per immigration flight) could have funded a thousand more border agents or 250 judges. That’s 1600 border agents or 400 judges not hired, not protecting the border, and every penny spent to pay for one man’s entertainment for 3 weeks. So much for eliminating waste or trying to fix the problem.
If doge was looking for waste or fraud, they would have hit the office of the president first, that is where the biggest wastes and frauds are.
Everything he complained about is a direct result of Republicans policy, not one bit from what Democrats voted for or implemented. Nothing the Republicans have done has helped stem the tide at all, except for destroying the economy which had many return home in 2020 for work. They voted against more border control, against better immigration courts, and against working with our neighbors instead of against them.
What keeps enticing immigrants from South America, and they’ve been 100% clear, open, and honest about it whenever they are asked, is Republicans politicians on TV every single day saying the US border is wide open, and that gets shown in their countries. Every time they say “open borders” 1000 immigrants say “woo hoo, let’s go!”.

JoĢrmungandr: Norse Leviathan Attacks
The water drained into Thor’s cup from his drinking contest with the giant Utgarda-Loki, this is how he beat Thor in their contest. Thor drank 3 times but couldn’t drain the cup, which was attached to the ocean, but he drank enough to create the tides!
*sometimes being a geek means having actual answers to rhetorical questions!
I couldn't concentrate on that because I was wondering where all that water falling into the 'hole' was going. Maybe it was being pumped out somewhere by the creature's body, but why, and how would it get that much energy from a ship.
Also, ship horn signals were wrong. And what exploded so quickly? And how did the cruise ship maintain integrity?
<sigh> sometimes being a geek means missing the point.
Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the Earth's ocean tides
Wow! I actually get to say NDT is wrong, and why!
Because the tide is not only affected by the moon’s varying gravity (its orbit is not a perfect circle) but also the sun, and they are not in a locked position, the bulge height (and slightly its position) varies. That’s why you have different tide levels and need a tide table to know how high (or low) any given tide will be. If he was correct, every high tide would be exactly the same height.
The Worlds Most Powerful Tidal Turbine
I’ve been sad it isn’t much farther along for decades.
As a green energy source it’s near perfection. Essentially unlimited “free” power with 100% predictability with near zero drawbacks besides transmission bottlenecks. Paired with hydro/gravity storage (use the power to pump water to a high pond then generate it back during slack tides) it’s the ultimate green power dream.
We should have these in every river mouth and every inlet affected by tides. So much wasted free energy.
DAMN! Why didn't I think of that!
Trump Supporter CHANGES MIND on Biden in 60sec
Better, the Senate just passed its border/foreign aid bill that includes another $60 billion for Ukraine.
That’s $114 billion for their war efforts this year. Do you think bankrupt international pariah Russia has anywhere near that much to spend, or the high tech weaponry to purchase that Ukraine has access to? (Hint- the entire Russian gdp in ‘22 was barely $2.2 trillion) Only North Korea is selling Russia weapons and ammo…what a sad position to be in. 😂
But sure, @bobknight33 , I’m sure you’re right, Russia is just about to turn the tides of war and start winning. Maybe their friend, MAGA, will block that funding for Trump and Putin, then they’ll only have $54 billion.
The EU is supportive enough of Ukraine that they just unanimously agreed to $54 billion in military aid, and the EU is our closest trading partner so again, our business. The MAGA ploy to block any aid to Ukraine to aid Russia (hoping it would look bad for Biden) has failed, the EU miraculously stood up as a unified front and agreed to fund Ukraine.

Republicans Start Telling The Truth

Watch Elon Musk's Rocket Explode After Launch
Today it was revealed that Elon has cut/refused access to Starlink for Ukraine in the Black Sea in order to intentionally hobble their major counter offensive in the Black Sea and cripple their communication ability and suddenly Elon is calling for an immediate truce (ostensibly with both sides (Russia) retaining any territory taken previously)…so his plan is handing Russia 1/3 of Ukraine and allowing them to keep Ukrainian Crimea…and quick before Ukraine retakes their country.
He has previously said he would not do any such thing ever after offering Ukraine open access to Starlink, but suddenly changed course in the middle of a major military offensive by Ukraine he said would be like Pearl Harbor (meaning the Ukrainians caught a huge number of Russian ships in port vulnerable to attack and could turn the tide of war in one action), but Elon wanted to stop the Ukrainians from achieving such a significant victory so he cut their communications to help Russia! He has admitted this publicly, it’s not supposition.
I hope sanctions are forthcoming…major multiple business ending sanctions.
If you still support Elon, you are the problem. He’s anti American and pro fascist.
Quit X, trade in your Tesla, and tell NASA to quit handing him billions in no bid, no competition, non performance based contracts using tax payer money for failures and global communication projects he capriciously withdraws from our allies when they’re needed most, and uses to prop up and control information for multiple fascist governments to the detriment of the populace but to the benefit of his pockets.

250000 more jobs in April.
Unemployment in 2020 topped 14%, today down to 3.4%.
2020 gdp -3%. 2021 gdp +5.9%
Sure sounds like that spending turned some tides.
Markets are somewhat stagnant (but still rising at 5%+- a year) for two reasons…1) the purely Republican caused banking failures caused by Republican forced through deregulation toon in 2018 leading to exactly what the regulations were designed to prevent and 2) the Republican blackmail of the economy using the debt ceiling that daily costs more as investments and international partnerships dry up because no one wants to be tied to a nation that won’t pay its bills…or that threatens to not pay its bills over partisan blackmail schemes.
The economy is like it is because of too much spending too quickly. Look at the increase over last 4 years.
Tennessee Republicans Ban Beyoncé
see it as a means to measure the tolerance (and/or apathy) of voters.
none of these laws are constitutional. vicious outwardly; violent and inwardly vile. they are testing the water to see how far they can go before the tide sweeps them away.
bad brains, black hearts, stewed minds & wanton desires.
i blame Reagan.

You still seem very confused. I’m pissing on you con-y reds and waiving, not pissing into a red wave. WHAT!? (Funny you named your movement after deadly poisoned ocean conditions…red tides are horrific destructive deadly things, not something to aspire to. I’m shocked at the truth in advertising from your ilk.)
Red WAVE this time, eh? Just like the last red tsunami but smaller, right? ROTFLMFAHS!! You might consider stoping making predictions at some point….then again you’re always happiest when being 100% wrong.
MAGAmericans aren’t buying what Democrats are selling….truth, fact, verified statistics, actual plans on how to tackle issues….because they hate truth, fact, or plans because you just have none and it makes you jealous to hear. They aren’t Americans, they are anti American, anti democracy, worshipers of Putin Xi and lil Kim but absolutely not democratic leaders. Look at any Republican’s platform, it’s nothing but “I want to lower crime and fix the economy”, never HOW they plan to do so, just whining that they don’t like the only plan put forward, even when it’s the same plan they put forward before they balk and obstruct because now it’s Biden who might get credit if it helps. They certainly don’t want to look at WHEN violent crime/murder rates shot up, because Biden wasn’t president in 2020 when it happened. Same for the economy….don’t remember 2020, just think about how bad it is compared to 2015….Biden’s fault! Derp!
Without fraud, intimidation, and criminal hyper-partisan election workers Cons have no chance….but fraud, intimidation, interference, and misinformation are all you’ve got. No Con elected is elected “clean”, so they are all illegitimate.
That said, never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter. At least 1/3 of the country are absolute braying morons that believe anything Tangerini Mousolini says, the question is how many rational people will go along with you for weakly promised future personal gains over country.
A reminder how Cons treat vets… https://videosift.com/video/Jon-Stewart-Reminds-You-That-The-Right-Abandons-Veterans
You pissing into the RED wave and it does not matter.
Americans are not buying what Democrats are selling and will be reflected in todays vote.
Despotic Tyranny
This is the propaganda you need to stem the tide of a red wave in midterms? Wow such Bull shit.
The red wave is coming to wash away the Biden stain. You can't stop it. Biden and the party fucked up America too much.

Why GM Says Its Ultium Batteries Will Lead To EV Dominance
Lol…says the totally honest guy who still says “buy Tesla, it only plunged 20% so far this year” (when reality is it plunged 32% this year).
Says the guy who takes Elon’s word as gospel….no way he has incentive to exaggerate or lie about his success.
Says the guy who still thinks the semi truck is coming, and will revolutionize trucking (despite having 1/3 the cargo capacity and limited range).
The guy who said Tesla is expanding exponentially on the same day Elon announced a 10% reduction and that he’s burning through billions every week and can’t get anywhere near full production capacity, not even near profitability yet.
Says the guy who claims the Tesla truck will corner the market but doesn’t know it’s delayed indefinitely if not cancelled because it could never compete with Ford.
Says the guy who repeats every far right lie he hears.
Then he says don’t listen to professionals or sales numbers, get your information from Tesla fan boys online exclusively.
Then he says this new modular battery tech is old obsolete tech like a blackberry.
Tesla is far less likely to make it through the decade, they were the big fish in a puddle, now they’re a small fry in a little pond that just had the tide break through and now there are sharks in there with it.
I’m guessing you didn’t watch the whole thing.
Mary Barra GM CEO. Her job is to "say" they are the leader, even when they a are not and wont be. Don't believe her.
There are few YouTube channels to watch on EVs. Sandy Munro is 1 of them.
Ford and GM are the Blackberry of their day.
They may make it through the decade but will be insignificant in the market.
Do you think CNBC would positive spin GM because of all the advertising they do? Would they be 100% honest?
World's First Floating City
Call me after the first direct hit by a major monsoon.
Enough slack for tides means enough slack to bump into each other. This sounds great, but I don’t believe they’re ready for prime time. Even oil platforms sink in big storms, imagine if they had tens of thousands of people on them.
The Dutch do this better imo by making floating homes that ride up and down on poles…stationary except for up and down.
