Try to keep up JB! My daughter had to use her insurance to get compensated for an accident caused by an illegal immigrant.

Yea, I hear ya.... In California, the illegal alien “crash and dodge responsibility“ problem goes way back in time to the 80’s. I lived it and paid extra for years. The insurance I had for 20+ years for “uninsured motorist coverage”, was a “tax” imo, and cost control for insurance companies passed along to consumers. I wonder if that “tax” were added up with all millions of covered drivers, how many billions $$$ extra did the insurance companies earn and make off the backs of fears on insured, law abiding drivers, and legal residents caused by lack of US Gov’t border and immigrant control?

Those sorts of unseen and uncounted costs never get debated, just accepted. Why should a law abiding citizen have to pay extra to cover potential business losses of a private company because the Gov’t policies are failed? That is way it is. Why should cell phones be paid for by a tax buried in your bill for people who cannot afford one? Maybe, big screen TV’s and Lexus and Teslas will next? Free cars for all, the next Bernie Sanders like liberal politician program to assist in getting votes by subsidizing luxuries. Maybe once the wall goes up, the democrats will want to subsidize helicopter rides from back and forth since climbing the wall will be dangerous. The US or California court system will probably allow illegal aliens to sue in the US for getting hurt climbing the wall and falling down, I see that next.

It's the same with healthcare too! My youngest daughter gets hurt playing soccer in a road game and so we have to go the emergency room. $10,000 billed later, $500 out of pocket, I'm at the front desk watching person after person coming in with flu and other minor illnesses and when the check in nurse asks them for insurance they say no, and the hallways were filled with gurneys full of the uninsured, waiting to be seen. In today's economy if you go to the emergency room and actually have insurance you get treated like a VIP because they know your insurance coverage will pay for you and the next 20 uninsured patients.

And this is why America voted a CEO into the White House! More Obama mess for Trump to clean up!

Is this the world the left wants? Where every word is parsed, criticized and re-checked for PC compliance.

"He wasn’t joking: Justin Trudeau interrupts woman during Q&A when she used the word “mankind.” He recommended that she say “peoplekind” instead."

Exactly How Much U.S. Debt Does China Own? And Why?
https://www.thebalance.com/u-s-debt-to-china-how-much-does-it-own-3306355

The U.S. debt to China is $1.2 trillion as of November 2017. That's 19 percent of the $6.3 trillion in Treasury bills, notes, and bonds held by foreign countries. The rest of the $20 trillion national debt is owned by either the American people or by the U.S. government itself.

Maybe, US debt is a good investment for for China.

 

[Kate]

Political and economic leverage...
Even 45 could not say no to cheap Chinese imports and the resulting trade deficit. China paid for the privilege of flooding the US markets with their products. "If you are not being nice to us, we stop bailing you out".
Either way, this is very worrying. When debt cannot be paid back, war is one of the usual outcomes. Time-proven statement. What is the other way out ?

Justin, sometimes things are plain common sense. Stop complicating...

Love it! Trump hits the Clintons + Obama + MSM + the Swamp really hard in this very powerful speach...

@JB Lions

National Enquirer, The Onion, Alex Jones, fake University YouTube sites - gossip sites, satire sites, conspiracy sites, etc.

Prager U. Fake university YouTube page. Professionally done so it looks legit but usually a bunch of nonsense. They seem to find flakes with legit backgrounds but flakes nonetheless. Usually, you just have to Google the person:

"Climate misinformer"

"In May 2013, Happer and Harrison Schmitt published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, "In Defense of Carbon Dioxide," in which they termed elevated atmospheric CO2 "a boon to plant life." It was described in the Columbia Journalism Review as "shameful, even for the dismal standards" of the editorial page, which is known for its denialism of climate science."

Just a whacky climate change denier.

You can't even argue against the merits / facts of his lecture, just miserable invective.

Trigger warning:

1) There is no consensus only a political spin by an climate change activist who surveyed the number of papers / articles published about global warming.

2) Researchers paid by grants to study science have been caught faking data and changing historic data.

3) Every prediction about global warming / cooling / climate change has been wrong.

4) We still have snow, All gores house on the ocean in FL isn't under water.

5) Bill Nye talks a good game for uneducated media but has been completely destroyed in EVERY debate with actual scientist.

Your shallow, "he disagrees with me" everything else is bullshit attitudes is surprising to me. You're a smart person with a closed mind.

No trigger warning, you just posted a bunch of nonsense. All 5 points you tried to make. It's 2018. Climate change deniers are anti-science types. We actually have people in this thread that posted dinosaurs didn't exist. It's just pure ignorance.

You can simply Google Florida erosion - https://www.google.com/search?q=florida+erosion&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1

I don't really need to say much, I can just leave you with your 5 points. "We still have snow". Really.

 

[mr-x]

Anti-science: Physics professor who is 100% correct.

Florida erosion: Florida has been eroding since humans have been keeping records. Al Gore said it would be underwater.. then bought an ocean front mansion.

You have nothing to say b/c you have no facts, just talking points.

The U.S. is now the only country not part of Paris climate agreement after Syria signs on

If that isn't consensus.
