There is so much rot in the first bill that I shudder to think of what the second would bring. I don't like these big bills, they attach too many damaging pieces. More land taken by Eminent Domain for the CO2 pipelines, and the 30X30 land grab of the feds owning 30% of America by 2030 was in the first BBB ... those are worms in the bill and there were many more. One was removed, that the feds would control AI for 10 years, rather than the states. That is NOT ONE OF THEIR ENUMERATED POWERS of the federal government, it belongs only to the states. Some congress critters went after it and got it removed.

Thankfully the provision allowing unlimited AI FOR 10 Years was struck down! These bullshit bills are not what I want in my government’s hands. I don’t trust any politician! Look at the corruption taking place in the FBI/DOJ AGAIN! It never ends

And Trump is part of it.

You've got it all just right! Whenever I hear of the feds stealing power from the states I go bonkers! But once the BBB is in place and operating, we can look forward to the next bunch of "critters" (lol) putting things back in! The more I read of the bill, the more I can't stop thinking Obama had something to do with it - lol. Of course not, but...there will be another. Democrats always take revenge.

As I ponder the arguments about the good and bad of the BBB, I don’t think it really matters if the states are given control. If you have state control we get comfortable thinking all is well. In reality it’s all smoke and mirrors. If the federal government pays the state enough money to follow their lead, they will. I see too many lies when following up on some of what state governments say they are doing. Don’t get me wrong, we need to continue the fight for our freedoms. We need well equipped people in local and state government that have the understanding of our fore fathers, willing to sacrifice as they did to keep out evil. In the end, it’s all about who you serve. Do you know Jesus personally?

I prefer to follow the constitution. There is a small list of enumerated powers of the federal government. All the rest belong to the states. Abortion was not a federal power and was rightfully given back to the states. Neither is gay marriage, and it too should be overturned and given back to the states. Neither is slander and libel from the 1964 NYTs v. Sullivan case. Slander and libel is not a federal enumerated power, it belongs to the states. What does it matter? It matters very much that the Constitution is followed and too many legislators as well as SCOTUS want to override the words of our brilliant and lettered founders. There is no one in politics today, other than perhaps Stephen Miller, who comes close to the genius of those men who gave us the 1787 Constitution.

The rot in the BBB affects all Americans and should have been removed, but when you have men like Speaker Mike Johnson colluding to do the work of the left, instead of the work of the American people, you cannot expect good bills to flow through Congress.

Hi Kelleigh , wondering if you could help me ? Could you tell me how it is you know, as you post to one of Alex stories that Kash Patel is a member of the Pilgrim Society? I hope you don’t mind that I posted that screenshot on a Christian Chat that I belong to . And now everyone wants to know “who is Kelleigh Nelson 😁

I am not optimistic, but time will tell. I'm grateful for Trump and his team, but the BBB was far too much spending. I think three things have to happen and DeSantis counsel to Elon Musk makes sense. Use his influence to get a balanced budget amendment and term limits...i'd add a constitutional convention to do this and insure the President has a line item veto to do surgery on the pork. I don't think Trump is the problem, Congress is imho..

Worse, it's being spent mostly on things that do NOT help us, the people who lost their jobs, the seniors who haven't had a decent COLA in a long time barely get by, the families with children who don't have enough to eat, the heads of households who were fired because Trump cancelled their jobs. And don't forget those thousands of bread winners who lost their jobs because of DOGE. But DOGE is rich and that money it got through OUR sacrifices should come back to us in benefits. But I don't see any. Do you?

The 'land grab' is a very frightening thing, i believe. They THINK, their going to have a go at that here in Australia, too, but, they'll be in for a rude, Constitutional awakening, if they try. The people who own, and have worked very hard to acquire their HOME, had better wake up to this, before it's too late. We have to stop these so called 'Digital' deeds for property owners, and fast, because, that sort of 'Deed' to your ownership of your property, can, and most likely, will, disappear one day, out of nowhere, and, you are then up shit creek to prove you own said property. Don't believe me, wait and see, and, you won't have to wait too long now.

Land grabbing from the CCP isn't necessarily a bad thing if said land is sold to citizens at a premium, and not moved into hands of property developers to build more bullshit ticky tacky suburbs.

Amen, it is going to take a bit more to reverse the dwindling spiral of the last 5 decades. Congrats Senator cheers and good luck for your run in Alabama!

climate chaos is not a fraud

I have yet to meet a denier of anthropogenic climate change who is thinking rationally.

It seems that those who think that increasing CO2 concentrations from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation are not causing most of the climate changes we are beginning to experience are also denying physics and chemistry.

All of the meteorological instrumentation and ice core analysis, and the data they generate which are the basis and calibration of climate models, and all of the theory that informs the climate models, are based on the laws of physics and chemistry. These same scientific principles of physics and chemistry and modeling are also the basis for the weather reports we depend on, reports that have become far more accurate and further into the future than a few decades ago.

Now it may be that the variation in the future scenarios predicted by the models may lead to wishful thinking that the science is uncertain. However, while the future cannot be predicted with complete precision, the measured data and the modeled predictions, based on the laws of physics and chemistry, are nonetheless accurate in supporting the hypothesis that climate disruption is real, that it is caused by human use of fossil fuels as well as various activities such as massive deforestation that would be impossible without fossil fuels, and that the effects will accelerate over the coming decades.

Also based on these same scientific principles of physics and chemistry are the logic and design of engines, motors, cars and trucks, refrigerators, air conditioners, turbines that generate electricity, etc.

So people who believe that all this evidence fails to demonstrate that human combustion of fossil fuels is the real culprit in the warming of the planet and the melting of the glaciers should be feeling very nervous and fearful whenever they drive, fly, eat food in their fridge, or turn on any electrical appliance, because these could fail catastrophically without warning. The laws of physics and chemistry don’t need no stinking badges.

People who don’t like the laws of physics can go jump off a cliff, and those who don’t like the laws of chemistry can take a bath in chlorine bleach.

I truly hope NOT! They're already leaving us less than what we had before the BBB! What happened to all that DOGE money? Why don't we the people get some of that after all that Biden took from us? Seniors haven't had a decent COLA in a very long time. Families with children are struggling to pay the bills, EVEN WHEN BOTH PARENTS WORK, and it's worse for single parent families. Young people can't find jobs. And don't forget about all those people who were suddenly fired because Trump got rid of their jobs? Republican voters are having second thoughts...
