Personally I think the bus needs to go to Juarez, not Washington

That's would be a governor that has some balls.

or actually just a a governor that enforces American laws

the illegals wouldn't get on the bus if that is where it was headed.

I think part of the reason why this works is the illegal aliens WANT to be in Washington DC (for whatever reason.) They had to "volunteer" to get on the bus for the free, one-way, bus trip. They were not forced to get on that bus by Texas authorities. I agree they should be sent to Juarez. But none of the illegals would board that bus. They want to go to DC.

They probably want to go as far North as they can get.

Costco is pushing their executive memberships really hard right now…like every visit we make…

I have one for the credit card, I'm not sure it adds any value.

I wish they wouldn't have dropped Amex

That kept me honest about my spending.

i find it interesting that the only news agency that I can find covering any of this, is Fox News. Must be fake news right?

Fox News is all Fox and no news

RAND finds that Republicans swallow fake news more than Democrats

The study puts some real science behind something many already knew: the problem of believing BS is not totally bipartisan.

Okay.

Do you believe that it is "fake news" that the governor of Texas is busing the illegal aliens that are left in his state to DC?

No but I do believe he's a childish fuck.

He doesn't want them there. He is the Chief Executive Officer for the state of Texas. its his call. He wants them gone. So they are gone. If you don't like it, move to Texas and vote him out of office.

Ukrainians are giving the Russians, hell. I say, excellent.

Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $43 billion

Finally, a billionaire that’s interesting.

Remember when liberals argued that Twitter and Facebook are private companies and should be able to do whatever and censor whoever they want?

well there is the distraction that the CEO of twitter warned the employees about.

I think this guy is hilarious...

I've been watching some videos lately from a guy named Peter Zeihan.

Guy has some very interesting worldwide views..

One that caught my attention is how China has permanently fucked itself out of being a world power in 50 years.

Its pretty simple to understand. Because of their 1 child rule , going on for about 35 years, China now has the fastest aging population on the planet, and because of their sheer size by population, coupled with the realty that modern capitalism has created a working class that understands they cannot prosper financially with a large family, they are faced with a population that will be dying faster than they can replace it. It also doesn't help that male children were preferred over females at birth and there is a sex imbalance in the numbers there as well.

By China's own admission they will reach a critical juncture by the year 2100 which is half of their highest population, however China has recently admitted they overestimated the population of their child bearing age citizens by almost 100m, which would drop that to the year 2070. Based on their numbers, by some calculations of China demographers, China reached their peak population 15 years ago - which could mean that China will hit that point in 2050. China by their own admission peaked 2 years ago.

China has some major challenges - labor cost is rising, they are no longer the low cost producer and they have a workforce that is aging out for such an extended time they can't maintain being an economic global superpower.
