Well, if they want to keep doing a lot of the stuff they currently do, they’ll raise taxes.(On the other hand, maybe the private sector will step in and pick up all the slack and do it all much better and more cheaply. ha) Among the many examples where federal contributions to state activities are being cut are these –
Highway and transit funding formulas include increased state cost-share and stricter eligibility requirements. This change will require public officials to provide more matching funds for numerous types of projects.
Public health block grant funding is reduced, limiting federal support for state and local health departments.
Disaster relief funding is capped at lower levels and the availability of federal reimbursement funding for state and local disaster response and recovery will be significantly reduced.
Funding for state and local government cybersecurity grants is reduced, meaning fewer federal dollars will be available to help local IT teams improve security defenses....
To summarize, the pending budget bill passed by the Senate and now about to be voted on in the House of Representatives, will likely result in sweeping changes for state and local governments. Simply put, the bill phases out billions in funding support that state and local government entities have relied on for decades and it outlines costly mandates for state and local governments related to education, healthcare, disaster response and recovery, regulatory responsibilities and required funding matches for infrastructure grants…

Something’s gotta give. I guess we’ll soon start finding out what that is.

Good morning darr ! I’m trying to imagine what “ research “ might mean to MTG. A new euphemism for “ pulling it out of your ass “ ? And as for things being released into the atmosphere maybe if she would just keep her fool mouth shut…. felonious indeed !

Ms Taylor needs to visit Austin, TX. Assuming the Airport is open or roads are passable.

Same thing when Democrats are questioning Republicans during hearings. Describe what they will do. The stone walling, the deflection, the refusal to answer simple questions. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you will see it all today from these people. So lets proceed with the questioning.

You only received ONE? (1) Did your rep tell you where you could order more? The expectation of being ICEd only once or less seems unrealistic, particularly if one is not a registered Republican.

Is this NDA with the FL Gov DeSantis, or the Trump Admin? I mean just because you say there’s an NDA doesn’t meant there’s an NDA Mr. Duarts.
And I’m assuming that the getting this done quickly mean that DeSantis/FL paid for this. We Ron send Don a bill for reimbursement?

Noting, this has been one weird weather system during this catastrophe. If there is a god, he or she is not happy with the Hill Country.

Those can’t possibly cause any harm because Marjorie really likes them.
Yes, that’s the level of logic – and the level of denial – that we’re constantly dealing with here.

“Built”? I’ve only seen Alligator Auschwitz described as:
The facility, which will hold immigrants in tents filled with fenced-in bunk beds,
Tents with “beds” in 'em. Something that could be fully erected and equipped in days.

Send in the clones?
Speaking to the Guardian, Prof Katsuhiko Hayashi, a developmental geneticist at the University of Osaka, said rapid progress is being made towards being able to transform adult skin or blood cells into eggs and sperm, a feat of genetic conjury known as in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG).
His own lab is about seven years away from the milestone, he predicts. Other frontrunners include a team at the University of Kyoto and a California-based startup, Conception Biosciences, whose Silicon Valley backers include the OpenAI founder, Sam Altman and whose CEO told the Guardian that growing eggs in the lab “might be the best tool we have to reverse population decline” and could pave the way for human gene editing.
Population decline? Of white people?

I think it’s more of a warning to expect dipshits rolling through the neighborhood. Lots of immigrants 'round here. I worry for my Asian neighbors. One lady in particular who used to walk daily has gone underground.

Don’t forget the staff, where are they staying while not on the job? And then there’s all the stuff employees need when they’re not at work.

A friend in nearby Llano Texas sent me this photo this morning, taken without a filter. Her backyard essentially, normally you can’t even see the water. They are about 50 miles from Kerrville but the entire Texas Hill Country is flooding….

Yes! Do not dignify this atrocity by giving it a prison nickname (Alcatraz) Give it a name that describes it (Auschwitz). It’s a CONCENTRATION CAMP.
