U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated again for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump’s nominators have included a group of U.S. House Republicans and two Norwegian lawmakers. The groups separately nominated him in 2018 for his work to ease nuclear tensions with North Korea. One of the Norwegians nominated him again for the 2021 prize for his efforts in the Middle East, as did a Swedish lawmaker.

If only the genius who said this, could have written the letter instead :
“We also recognize just as it has been in the U.S. for Jamaica one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way its impact has been the pandemic. So to that end we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in covid recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery effort.”
“We invested an additional 12 billion dollars into community banks because we know community banks are in the community.”
“I think that to be very honest with you that i do believe that we should have rightly believed but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.”
“On this issue for example we applaud Germany in terms of what it has done as it relates to Nordstream 2, as it relates to what we need to do domestically as well as what we need ot do in terms of this issue generally we have as the president said reevaluated what we're doing in terms of the strategic oil reserves here in the United States to make sure that it will not have an impact or we can mitigate the impact on the American consumer.”

The US is projected to spend $1.049 trillion on debt service in 2025, which is up 30% from the previous year,
when Cuntz's kids are our age... how many trillions of dollars will the debt service of the actual debt be annually? how is that acceptable. the generations before ours sure as fuck didn't fund their spending, will we do the same and keep kicking the can? how about the millennials and genZ, will they keep kicking the can as well?
I can see how you've been in so few scraps in your life as you just roll over and show your yellow belly so easily... just no fight in this dog.
It's not acceptable, but at the same time no one is going to do anything about it. Especially your kids generation, between the socialism indoctrination they are getting, and the high cost of living none of them are going to vote for cutting spending, or reducing the government.

couple of you guys seem pretty good with that and more being added again daily?
but 'real conservatives'... gmafb.
And that debt won't hurt them anymore than the current debt hurts you today, or the debt when you were their age hurt you then.
There isn't fuck all that can be done about it. Reducing it would require massive cutting of the federal budget, and elimination of all entitlements.
Political suicide, no one would even dream of running on that platform, let alone anyone actually vote for it. Half of the population in the country receives more than they pay in.

Maybe you could compare the 2 if Texas has spent the last 30 or 40 years enforcing policies that make flash floods more common and dangerous, and preventing people from maintaining their property in an effort to reduce the likelihood of widespread flash flooding.
Fires are far easier to control/prevent, especially in heavily populated areas.
We know how to do it, and it was successfuly done in CA in the past.

Speaking of intelligence, some quotes from the brilliant mind you voted for :
Harris, 60, left many baffled during her conversation with Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of data science company Feedzai, as she recounted ordering food on DoorDash to keep her going while watching last week’s Oscars.
“We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start and nobody wanted to leave to go to the grocery store. So it was DoorDash … So I was willing to give up whatever might be the tracking of Kamala Harris’ particular fondness for nacho cheese Doritos for the sake of getting a big bag of Doritos as I watched the Oscars,” she burbled.
"When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken but also let's see it as you know, nature abhors a vacuum." "So where some where there's a vacancy, then let's fill it." "But we have to we have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn't mean we don't see the beauty in everything. Right? These things all coexist."
"We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community."
“It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down.”
She told Robert Costa, "I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled."
"The governor and I, we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children." Kamala Harris to Gavin Newsome

1 hour ago, akvanden said: Dumb far left - this perfect storm was exacerbated by cuts at the NWS.
Dumb far right - this perfect storm was exacerbated by forestry mismanagement.
Normal Americans - natural disasters happen. Let’s help our neighbors and keep politics out of it.
Regarding reducing the fuel load, in an interview four months ago, Newsom said that there are “Hundreds of millions of dead trees” in the state and that it cost his father $35,000 to clear “a small little patch of dead trees” on his property.
Newsom didn’t admit it, but the outrageous cost to remove a few dead trees from private land is a consequence of California’s Byzantine environmental regulatory patchwork.
This is California’s big secret: it’s not climate change that’s burning up the forests, killing people, and destroying hundreds of homes; it’s decades of environmental mismanagement that has created a tinderbox of unharvested timber, dead trees, and thick underbrush.
This dangerous situation attracted attention from President Donald Trump who, during the height of California’s wildfires last year insisted that “There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor."
The irony is that forest management is so bad on public lands that a new report, ordered by the California legislature in 2010, shows that the portion of California's National Forests protected from timber harvesting is now a net contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fires and trees killed by insects and disease.

Just now, Mainecat said: So it’s OK….lol
You're ok with your boy Joe, and kamala completely botching FL, NC, and TN, but are bothered by Ted being on a planned vacation before anything happened.
What exactly do you expect, he was already in Greece??
Name one thing that he could have done to make a difference in TX, that he couldn't do in Greece.

The Swamp can exclusively reveal that Ted Cruz stayed in Greece and continued to sightsee as rescuers scoured the floodwaters in Central Texas that killed at least 100 people, including 27 campers and counselors from a summer camp.
The Texas senator was spotted visiting the Parthenon in the Greek capital, Athens, with his wife, Heidi, on Saturday evening. That was a day after Camp Mystic announced that more than 20 girls had gone missing in the floodwaters.
On Saturday, July 5, at about 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET)—more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks—Cruz and his wife were spotted by a Swamp spy lining up outside the iconic tourist site.
“He was with his family and a lone security guard,” said an eyewitness at the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’
“He sort of grunted and walked on. His wife shot me a dirty look. Then they continued on with their tour guide.”
https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-was-vacationing-in-europe-as-emergency-crews-desperately-searched-for-texas-flood-survivors/and he accomplished more from Greece, in the first few hours after, than Joe, or Kamala did combined for Fla, and NC disasters

9 hours ago, Doug said: Regardless of Democrats or Republicans the Government has proven they could run a successful business if they were in the private sector.
Since they are the keeper of Social Security if your relying on Social Security in your financial plan you are already in trouble.
Did you mean couldn't ???
Because there is absolutly no way, you can convince me that the majority of politicians, or government employees could run a business.

16 hours ago, Crnr2Crnr said: Professional gamblers may need to find a new profession.
The final version of the big, beautiful bill that will be signed into law by President Trump on Friday contains the tax provision that limits deductions for losses to 90 percent. It has caused widespread consternation among those who make their living by gambling. And by those who make their living by getting people to gamble.
Representative Dina Titus (D-Nevada), whose district includes Las Vegas, believes that the new law will nudge people away from legal gambling to illegal operations.

Final big, beautiful bill includes ugly provision for gam...
Professional gamblers may need to find a new profession.I learned something new today...
The American Gaming Association, the casino industry's lobbying body, praised the passage of the bill in a statement: "We commend congressional leaders on the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Our industry's ability to sustain quality jobs and deliver economic benefits is significantly enhanced by the tax policies of OBBBA that support consumers, encourage business innovation and investment, and strengthen U.S. competitiveness. We look forward to President Trump's expected signing and will work closely with Congress in the coming months to address the changes to wagering deduction losses and further modernize the tax code."
A better explanation here:
Within the Internal Revenue Code, the bill states that bettors will only be allowed to deduct 90% of their losses against 100% of their gains in any given year, a significant change to the current law that allows bettors to deduct 100% of losses against gains. The law would go into effect on January 1, 2026
Honestly I'm shocked that they have been able to deduct 100% of their losses
