Here’s Why NFL Games Feel So Different Than in Years Past – They are boring. Bring back the gunslingers who could stay in the pocket and throw for 400 yards. Give me a young Dan Marino any day for excitement. I don’t think the running QB has helped anyone if you read the article.
Obamacare Is a Disaster, Just as Expected – prices up, service down, politicians get rich, insurance companies don’t care. Socialized medicine is never good, just ask Canada, UK or the EU. We were lied to the whole time, about everything. The stats are in the article.
The War on America
The Red-Green Alliance Is Still Powerful – still the most powerful military ever, but the war is from within, and unless Americans wake up, it will work. Stop the liberal White women and the socialists.
The Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar this morning after a handful of Senate Democrats cut a face-saving ‘deal’ to reopen the government.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate broke the Chuck Schumer-led filibuster last night after eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.
The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.
Seven Democrats and one Independent (Angus King) who caucuses with the party joined Republicans and passed the resolution. Rand Paul was the lone ‘Republican’ to vote no.
Here were the Dem Caucus members who caved:
Angus King of Maine
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Jacky Rosen of Nevada
Tim Kaine of Virginia
Dick Durbin of Illinois
The House will return to session on Wednesday to vote on the Senate-passed funding package.
The childish elitists on Blue Sky SCREAMED betrayal and threw massive tantrums following the vote, using some of the most colorful terms imaginable.
Many also demanded Schumer’s resignation, even though he did not vote for the ‘compromise.’
If you want to see the Bluesky meltdown, click on the link at the top to watch them whine. I didn’t care enough and won’t open an account, so you’re on your own.
What to Know About Obamacare Rates for 2026 – Costs are going up for everyone, quality of service will go down for many. It was a lie from the beginning to move us to Socialized healthcare, a failure every time.
Britain In the Balance – Like a monstrous experiment in social engineering, the profoundly anti-patriotic immigration policy of New Labour has brought about demographic changes that, right from the outset, were intended to be irreversible.
There are some damning statistics below. Some people genuinely need help and will be in trouble. I hope that groups like Samaritan’s Purse will come to their rescue. They did so during Hurricane Helene when FJB refused to help Western Carolina, as it wasn’t his voting base. That was an evil move
Conversely, some grifters and illegals don’t deserve SNAP and will be either weeded out, sent home, or will learn to get a job. It might sound cold, but humans do better when they earn their way, rather than have it handed to them. When ‘Helping’ the Homeless Is Harmful
The Schumer shutdown is “mostly” over the left trying to give free stuff to the illegals. It is the same Santa Claus routine in trade for votes (the illegals are their future voter base). The shutdown could be over last week if he had agreed not to fund the illegals.
Here is a clip so that you can decide whether your hard-earned money should go to those who don’t need help, or are getting it illegally. YMMV.
Food stamps are set to be paused on Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown.
Some 42 million Americans will not receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) until Congress approves new funding, according to federal officials, although some states have taken steps to intervene.
Congress made money available for SNAP for October before failing to reach a new government funding agreement, which resulted in the government shutting down on Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a letter to regional and state SNAP officials.
There is not enough money to pay full SNAP benefits to the approximately 42 million SNAP recipients in November, the USDA says.
“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA said on Oct. 25.
“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”
Since 2010, the total percentage of the US population that is on food stamps has not fallen below 12 percent.
Nationwide, the total percentage of the population receiving food stamps can vary significantly by state, and region. Measured state-by-state, we find that more than one in five residents of New Mexico receive food stamps. In Utah, on the other hand, fewer than one in twenty receive food stamps.
There are sizeable differences by race and ethnicity as well. Although they comprise 58 percent of the US population, non-Hispanic whites account for only 36.5 percent of all SNAP recipients. Blacks comprise about 26 percent of SNAP recipients although blacks are only 12 percent of the US population. Asians comprise 3.3 percent of the food-stamp recipient population. Those who self-identify as Hispanic (of any race) comprise 16 percent of the recipient population. (Note: according to the Census Bureau data used here, “Hispanic” is classified as an ethnicity and not a race. Since fifty percent of Hispanics self-identify as “white,” self-identified whites actually comprise 71 percent of the population, not 58 percent. (Pew studies suggest that 58 percent of Hispanics self-identify as white.)
Immigration status can be a factor as well. According to the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), more than a third of immigrant-headed households receive food stamps or some other form of food subsidy such as WIC. Nearly half of households headed by illegal-immigrants receive food stamps. (This data is from the 2022 SIPP report.) The percentage for native-born households, on the other hand, is 25 percent. (Note: This is a household number, so is not comparable to the total percentage of individuals in the US population who receive food stamps.)
