The only downside to Abbott and Paxton locking down the Texas border is that they can’t send many illegals to NYC.

When the wealthy and business flee, this fascist state will fold.

That doesn't bode well for Florida.

Just wait until their electricity reaches $1.00/kW-hour and there’s no food.

But, but LBJ’s War on Poverty in 1964 was supposed to fix that!

More than half of New Yorker’s are experts at hiding their wealth. I would take this with a grain of salt.

That’s right. When the wealthy and business flee, this fascist state will fold.

Not with Democrats in charge. They will just keep shoveling in federal money to keep them going.

Run out of tax money? Just keep printing it until the entire nation crashes...

But Ukrainian children need the money more. Have a heart folks. What will the world think of us. We have to fulfill our commitments to NATO.

Wanna bet they don’t include all the welfare, SNAP, free Obama Care, subsidized rent, and other handouts in this statistic?

Yes thanks for reminding me. Nothing is too good when it’s someone else’s hard earned money you’re spending. As Adrian Rogers said”the government can’t give something to someone without first taking it from someone else. “

“LBJ’s War on Poverty”

It is time we declare victory and abandon the battlefield.

I just spent 3 days in NYC with my wife and kids. Had a great time. Stayed mostly in the midtown area. One thing I noticed - no matter where you walk - the air is 3 parts oxygen 7 parts marijuana smoke. It’s just friggin everywhere.

We never went into the subways, just walked everywhere. Went to a Broadway Show, the MoMa, St Patrick’s Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park…the sites were great. Very, very crowded even in 25 degree weather. School vacation week may have contributed.

The food was spectacular as usual, especially the bagels and pizza. Didn’t see a lot of homeless. Some here and there. Plenty of trash strewn about in some areas. But overall, it was fun. My boys loved it.

Isn’t that the truth? Hardly any of those bastards in DC care about that.
