As analogies go...well - bizarre. Curious why you didn't go full on ludicrous and compare Pac 12 expansion to the Manhattan Project? You could have gone with: "It only took 48 months to develop and use an atomic weapon! Why is the Pac taking so long??" Come on man Even more impressive, Joe Biden was able to shut down the Keystone XL oil pipeline his first day in office and make America dependent on other countries like Saudi Arabia for our oil. Now he's begging them for more oil and they're laughing at him at him all the way to the bank... D’oh! Someone is still quoting debunked Hershel Walker/Fox News claims about domestic oil production under Biden. Take your debunked political lies to the political discussion board. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/22/herschel-walker/did-biden-stop-domestic-oil-drilling-herschel-walk/

I'm not talking drilling as you misstated, although Biden has levied an avalanche of restrictions on the oil drilling grants issued under the previous administration. I'm talking about the transfer of oil from our ally and neighbor rather than begging and overpaying for oil imports from our enemies/adversaries across the ocean. That's about a third of a trillion barrels since biden took office. Oh, and the average price/gallon to the consumer has doubled since he was elected.

Complete bull$#!+. It was a case of mistaken identity and happened in Mexico. Kidnappings have occurred in Mexico for decades. "The news comes days after the group was abducted at gunpoint in Matamoros in what is believed to be a case of mistaken identity. The four Americans were a tight-knit group of friends traveling from South Carolina to Mexico so one of them -- a mother of six -- could undergo a medical procedure across the border, two family members told CNN. Once across the border, they were fired upon by unidentified gunmen, "placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men," according to the FBI. Matamoros is under a "do not travel" advisory and has been for a long, long time.

While it has been decades that the Democrats have pushed this open border policy (see Sanctuary cities, non-enforcement of Immigration law, limiting deportations, giving illegal immigrants Driver Licenses and other benefits, etc), Brandon has put this idiocy on steroids. The Cartels are making hundreds of millions off these US policies (see drug and human trafficking) We have the ability to reduce that cash and power flow to the Mexican cartels but the Democrats will not for the sake of the long term political power play.

Stop posting with "The fact is"....because you don't share facts, you just promote propaganda and conspiracy. The border is not open, has not been open....period. Do you think drug cartels just started operating in 2021? Matamoros is in Mexico, Joe Biden doesn't control what happens in Mexico. The Mexican military has been involved in conflict intervention with the cartels since 2006. 2006. Take a break, troll.

"Mexican Federal agents, or legitimate local police"? This is proof you are a troll or not very smart. Mexican Federal police and local police have been on the take for many many years. This is not a recent development...and you know it (I hope for your sake). 25 years ago, some friends of mine on a diving trip in the southern Sea of Cortez found a panga hidden in a sea cave at a remote island ..that was loaded with coke. They immediately left the area and did not call the authorities. I'll let your advanced intellect and knowledge of Mexico answer the question of why they didn't. ...right..Biden did it....just stoopid.

Are saying that the Mexican police that was known for boosting $40 bucks from a drunk American partying over the border is effectively the same as the Cartel thug that can slaughter people in the streets in broad daylight? Intellect indeed.

Intellect indeed. The Cartels run everything, and have their hands in everything. They run the avocado export business, traffic in endangered plants and animals,like totoaba bladders, great white shark jaws and Dudleya (live -forever) plants...and of course drugs. You are talking about a scenario from the mid 1980's and prior. Before trying to fit a talking point into your phony talking head world view, you should do some actual research.

I've had friends who were having a drink in a seaside resort, and a full-on shooting war broke out down the street. In 1998, 21 men, women and children (1 to 4 years old) were lined up against a wall near Ensenada...and were executed. These people did not all of a sudden become nasty in the last 2 years.

I was playing baseball in a Mexican league in the early 80's and while we were in downtown Tijuana buying some REAL Mexican food from a Vendor on the street, a guy ran up to this Vendors cart and stole some food. The guy started running away, and the Vendor promptly pulled out a gun and started shooting at him wildly while running after him. Just like the O.K. Corral. We got the heck outta there!!!

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13350125/biden-proposes-capital-gains-tax-hike-100-years.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubuttonSo Joe is pushing a 42% Fed Capital Gains tax! And, in many cases, a State's Capital Gains tax is added to boot. So that makes, for many, the total Capital Gains tax rate for gains over $400K greater than 50%. At $400K, they try to make it sound like they are only talking about the filthy rich (who can easily adjust their portfolios and ways to get compensated and avoid the Dem's confiscatory laws). But do you know how many homes owned by average Joes and Janes in CA are sitting on equity well over $400K? And do you know how many of these expect the equity in their homes to help pay for their final years? Sure, there is an exclusion of $250K or $500K when they sell (depending on your filing status), but try retiring on the money left over after you sell a CA home and give the Government over half of what is left after the exclusion. And then hardly anything goes to the kids (which is probably part of the Neo-Marxist plan as well). To say these idiot neo-Marxist puppet masters writing the laws for Democrats have never read about the Laffer Curve and don't know any better would be kind. They know exactly what they are doing and it is more important for them to tax the "Boujee" middle class out of existence (as they are the ones who more than likely oppose them) than generate more tax revenue for the Government.

And the racist neo-Marxist Democrats writing policy for the puppet say the hate outloud as they knowingly and purposefully target white homeowners with the onerous tax. And raise your hand if you are dumb enough enough to think that hypocrite Democrat billionaires like Bezos or Buffett will stand around and let the income from their investments be taxed at 45% more than once (if that). They can hunker down and weather the storm until the Marxist puppet masters are out of power. No so for people who are retiring, having to liquidate for medical expenses or dying.
