Ross Givens on Stephen Gardner explaining how Pelosi et al got rich on insider trading.

the law requires politicians to report trades within 45 days which is too slow for people watching them to make $$$, but CEO's and various corporate bigshots have to report within 2 days. Givens does seminars on how to navigate the reporting apparatus so people can make trades 2 days after the insiders are making trades. What a scam, greedy crooks ripping us off in so many different ways.

So we toppled Libya and terrorists were running rampant for 10 years attacking neighboring countries. Niger had a coup and the guy in charge said Niger wont become another Libya. Meanwhile Nato's African allies are threatening to invade Niger and Russia is telling them to back off.

And millions have entered under Republican governments. I'm not blaming Republicans for the death, just Abbott because of his political grand standing.

[PLATO]

Yeah...let's let millions (yes...literally millions) of people illegally enter our country due to Democratic policy and then let's blame the Republicans when one dies when they were being bussed to a different state that wasn't being stretched to limits because of aforesaid millions.

Operation Lone Star: Girl, 3, dies on Texas migrant bus

US health officials are investigating the death of a three-year-old Venezuelan girl travelling with her parents on a bus carrying asylum seekers from Texas to Chicago.

Thousands of migrants have been sent from Texas to Democratic Party-run US cities under a controversial scheme.

The girl was taken to a hospital in southern Illinois and pronounced dead on Thursday.

Texas officials confirmed her death on Friday, but did not share more details.

The bus set off from the city of Brownsville, on the border with Mexico. Before it left the state, passengers had their temperature assessed and were asked if they had any medical conditions, Texas officials said.

Officials said when it was noticed that the girl's health appeared to be deteriorating, the bus "pulled over and security personnel on board called 911".

Officials from the Texas Division of Emergency Management said that "every loss of life is a tragedy".

Republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas has sent more than 30,000 migrants to cities controlled by the Democrats since last year under his "Operation Lone Star" policies.

Last month, the US department of Justice sued Mr Abbott for his refusal to remove a floating barrier placed on the Rio Grande river aimed at stopping migrants from entering the US from Mexico.

The latest tragedy comes weeks after an eight-year-old girl died at a US border patrol site in Texas.

Venezuela's refugee crisis is the world's second largest. More than seven million Venezuelans have left since 2015 due to the country's political and economic troubles.

"Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Biden appointee, wrote in a social media post on Nov. 29, 2022, that people should get vaccinated “if it’s been over 2 months since your last dose.

President Joe Biden’s administration has admitted that there was no scientific evidence supporting an apparent recommendation to receive as many as six COVID-19 booster shots in a year."

I have a problem with both...
If the VP was always from the other party, I think it would be open season on the President, especially since any nut job can get an automatic weapon in this country.

Second... I would rather have the voters elect their senators after seeing some of the partisan laws being passed by slim majorities by state legislatures

Nice of you to help poor Stephen Gardner sell his latest "how to beat Wall St" book.

As noted, it doesn't really make sense with how we now elect VP (originally, the VP was opposed to the President, as the runner up, and not on the same team as the President)

I actually believe that the old method would be better for the country than the way we do it now.

Of course, I also believe that the state legislatures appointing Senators was better than the way we do it now.
