broad based prosperity
That is still a matter of personal choice, and, yes, regardless of the president. It's just that some presidents, like Trump, like to release the private sector to invest how it wants to, without over-regulating the private sector
international travel to the US is down significantly since Trump took office.
Looks to me that it is by personal decision of international travelers not to travel here, not a Trump decision to refuse to allow them, other than if they come without a visa or permit to be here. That's called law enforcement, which Trump is obligated to manage by law, and which Biden chose to ignore.
We haven’t been this slow since COVID.
Are you forgetting the 2008 economic slump [No Trump], WWII, WWI, Pre-WWI flu epidemic, the Civil War [no Trump]... Boo-hoo.
So, did you spend or invest your prior bonuses? That was by your choice, too. Do not bore me further.
Does Trump run the economy
According to the Constitution, Trump runs the Executive branch. That branch makes policy, which, among other things, can affect the economy. But this is the USA. Private industry runs the economy in a capitalist system. Okay? The Democrats currently want socialism, which aligns with mostly government control. Okay? That is why socialism fails, because it does not know how to create wealth, either by the government or by individual socialists. It uses other people's money, which eventually runs out,
To the first three of you:
Definitionm the OED [1474, before American and European "scientists" decided to go rogue with air definition by way of social pressure] and the US Medical Library:
Biological sex and gender are distinct. Biological sex is determined by the 23rd pair of chromosomes, commonly known as the sex chromosomes.
The chromosomal differences break down as follows:
Pair 23: The sex chromosomes, Washington DC X and Y.
Females: Typically have two X chromosomes (XX).
Males: Typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). [1, 2]
The egg from the biological mother always provides an X chromosome.
The sperm from the biological father can carry either an X or a Y chromosome.
If an X-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby develops as female (XX).
If a Y-carrying sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby develops as male (XY).
The Y chromosome acts as the genetic trigger for male development, primarily through the SRY gene, which directs the fetus to develop
Gender is determined at conception, as I originally said, by the union of male and female gametes [from the male sperm and female ovum, which are living creatures, themselves, making life continuous generation to generation], such as has occurred from Adam & Eve to the present day, and as far into the future as human life on Earth endures.
Savant, thank you for your commentary.
Some of you have mentioned that you think the economy of the US is sinking, tanking, and otherwise in decline. As if it were better under SloJo. By the way, higher employment, stock market, 401K,. Gold and silver and most other commodity investment, etc, now than then. Sorry for you, guys. I don't see it. I conclude that you do not invest in yourselves. Neither by finance nor by education. Education can, and does for me, increase my net worth. I engage in both, and I've never been better off than I am right now. My last degree, a B.A. came last fall, in linguistics. It has measurably improved my writing, and I do profit from that activity.
So, if you think the economy is bad, what are YOU doing about it? No one but you handles your personal economy. Get to work and stop screaming at the moon. And stop listening to biased reporting. Most of that is a wish balloon.
...one merely needs to remove vagina to stop being female.
You are apparently unaware that every cell in the human body defines gender, my friend. It's in the DNA double-helix. Every single bloody cell. So, the only way to change anything is to modify every cell. Good luck with that. That's about 1,000,000,000,000,000 cells, by the way. Gonna take a while... I'll wait.
By the way, the "biologists" you talked to were... what? About 7?
Who?
Sorry, the name means nadsa to me.
Tell one thing he 's doing that personally affects you. Just one.
That's why you should be able to ignore him.
Mayor of NYC Mandami took his seat at the little-boy-desk, emulating Joe Biden in his dark basement, but in Mando's case, it was a mimic of the Oval, complete with a string of people standing beside the little-boy desk. It looked like Trump. Under the circumstances, that is hillarious.
Mandami offered a missive; his inaugural SOSU* speech: State of the Socialist Union.
The term refers to a written address, but in this case, it sounded like the State of the Cave. Old school. Very old.
He missed the memo that such speeches are supposed to be upbeat. Mandami? No beat at all.
Well, that's socialism for you: a guaranteed failed system. Show me one example that has lasted the duration of America. No commentary necessary, Just show me your best example.
Yes, perfect love.
Yes, it was indeed, perfect love.
You have rightly transcribed the Greek Septuagint version of the verse in Matthew, "ἠλὶ, ἠλὶ , λεμὰ σαβαχθάνι," but ignore the early 16th century religious meaning of the word "forsaken." in late Old English [early 16th century] from the Tynsdale translation, adopted by King James, and others] which was not understood as abandonment of God as if Jesus had done something so horribly wrong, he was being dismissed by God, but that God knew, and Jesus then learned, as well, that the entire spiritual support of Jesus by God and angels had to be withdrawn such that Jesus could fulfill the need that he, alone, make atonement effective for mankond on his own shoulders, alone. Neither God the Father nor angels could lend their support in that hour, or justice would not be satisfied. You may not find that in Merriam-Webster, but will in the OED; a more complete [most complete] English dictionary.
Such questions don't keep me up in the night to determine for myself. I have a clear, concise record. My ancestry has been on this soil before America was America, in 1625; 5 years following the Mayflower, from Scotland, and 5 centuries before that, from France. I know who I am. Most have no idea who their great grandparents were.
I'm not sorry you are, after all, easy to ignore. Biden sure was. Too bad you can't do the same about Trump
.2%, 2%, or 20%. Percentages are obfuscation. We neither vote, pay taxes, nor engage in any other right by percentages. Nor should we be citizens or not by such qualification.
the court can't simply engage in judicial rule
So, what was the Fuller Court doing in 1898, which held this "birthright" argument after decisions of lower courts from the 1860s, even before the 14A? There's a reason why the 14A offers a two-phrase cistizenship requirement, not just one, The second is a qualifier of the first, not just a rewrite of it. If all children born here, regardless of parantage are to be citizens, why make the commentary in the first clause of being born here of parents who are already citizens, which neither slaves, nor "native Americans" on tribal lands, beholding to those tribes were considered, prior to the 14A? Got to understrand English syntax of the 18th & 19th centuries, not just the 21st.
Yeah, I suspect that's why beds grew larger as time and experience proceeded
children of diplomats... children born to occupying enemy forces... and Native Americans who maintained allegiance to their tribes.
By the numbers:
Is she? Current news says she is in New York, performing a one-woman show... Can't get the bucks she's getting in NYC. So much for not bluffing.
Two days from the 250th anniversary of our American Declaration of Independence from the monarchy of Great Britain, I am reminded that the leadership of our Founding Fathers and their Constitutional Convention tried something new and experimental. That’s what they called it: a grand experiment, not just another government typical of the times, moving generally among several nations of western civilization. Experiment because it was not ordinary, typical, or guaranteed to work.
I am proud in these days of celebration because my ancestry is American. My father’s ancestry first came to these shores l0png ago before America was America. His name was John, a Scot whose own ancestry was from France in the 11th century. He was an enterprising man who wanted to build an iron foundry. He arrived in Boston in 1625, only five years after the landing of the Mayflower, so Boston, then, was a village. He went north to what is now Maine, and built and ran his foundry, achieving his American dream. I am richly blessed to be one of his descendants, achieving my own American dream.
Not by reading commentary on the subject at the time, in 1866 - 68, by Sen. Jacob Howard [R-IL], who wrote Clause 1 of the 14A.
What's stopping ytou from acting on ytour impulse? No reeason top stay, unless this is a bluff for effect. Like Rosie O'Donnell.
And what does a photo of "Trump and the gang" have tro do with it? Seems Trump haters of all ilks, including Republicans, may claim to ignoree Trump, as did Repub candidates in the 2024 primary, but cannot and could nort seem to do it. I reemeber a few months ago suddenly having no memorty of Biden's name for a long stretch, because I decided, while he was still actring as poresident, to ignore the man. For a while, it was fabulously successful.
The fault is on the parents because we have rather specific laws of immigration which have been ignoreed by aliens for many years, and we have likewwise ignoered proper enforcement. Those parents do have allegiance and respinsibility to other national jurisdictions than to US.
"Big Tent" has found it's way into simultaneous Democrat mouths, mostly to include its sudden embracae of socialism. Sorry, "democratic" socialism. There is, apparently, a difference, though the difference is hardly measurable.
If you disagree on meassnurement, please provide the tool used, assuring that it is properly chosen to mesaure adquately, accuratelty, and repeatably. And it must be calibrated. I know a thing or three about the nature of these factors.
What is ignored in all this new, simultaneous "big tent" mantra is that a big tent is exactly that: big. Big enough to include, among other things, a simulraneous blend of ingredients the party is not at all certain will bake a cake any number of tent-residents can eat without expectring a stomach ache.
Evidence that this particular tent is not at all certain of its palatability, let alone its future.
This particular case beforee the Supreme Court to reach a decision on whether or not the original framers of the14th Amendment citrizenship clause [Clause 1] intended what has been determned by US v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898, and this case today, let alone several cases in between. This case was not an adequate case to reach a decision on the matter. But, cases are what they are; it's difficult to expect that every case before SCOTUS is the ideal case. This was not one of them.
I am not suprised by the decision to maintain birthright citizenship. I oppose it because of the effect on birth by "tourism" being a reason - and it is becoming a huge issue bevcause of the numbers of bierths by that reason - to allow birthright citizenship. It all turns on what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof [of the United States]" is interpretted to say n all cases. Tourism birth was not likely an issue the 14th framers anticipated.
I oppose Socialism/Communism in two respects: I recognize they are separate philosophies with respect to government ownership of busness enterprises, and with respect to religion. Socialism does not oinsist all business enterprise be owned by government, but a slippery on the distinctioon. Commuinism insists all buisness enterprise be owned and operated by government. No current, significant nation in the world aligns with this communist issue, not even the PRC.
Vis-a-vis religion, thought both believe "religion is the opiate of the people," socialismm is generally, for now, williong to allow reeligion to have a place in society. Communism is bending to that allowance, but neither are really happy about it, because the concerpty of God takes power from both philosophies.
women belong in the kitchen
Just shows you know little about me. As it happens, I think kitchens ought to be occupied by both men and women. Whast makes men so afraid of that room. Freanly, I think most men have issues with bedrooms, too.
P1, P2, [C]
all contain words which lack adequate definition; namely "war." Given the specific allowance granted to presidents to engage milirtary conflict without congressional approval, such cannot be called "war," your "syllogism" isn't.
For most of those I was either not alive or in elementary school.
Nonsense. It's not all about you.
Bio-male thinks he's a female? Well... no. Biology isn't a matter of choice, boys and girls. This is ultimately a decision for States, and it just may end up that the States which disagree, allowing bio males to compete as females may find populstion shifts of greater proportion than occur due to pure politics. With generational change in parenting, this decision may swing the other way, being a State by State decision, but for now, reason has a level-headed cause settled.
Sorry trannies, but your gender was detrermined at conception. Call it something else, if you must, but gender is binary, or so says science in the cells.* All trillion of them in each of us.
*There are physical anomalies in all of 0.00000007 percent of us, about 3 people per country, worldwide, based on a world population of 8 billion people. And what percentage of that number are serious sports competitors? This amounts to affecting such a small percentage of us, statistically, it is a non-issue. That said, there are those convinced by a headtrip that all the above is an issue. So be it. Not all will agree with the Court decision.
Run by rich, strupid Democreats, yeah. The curreent president is not a socialist, just rich. Can't stand it, can you? Gotr a problem againstg personal wealth? Something socialism doesn't know how to make fr itself?
