Well, I am against tax evasion, so I am hoping DODE gets access. As always, the left wants to punish law abiding citizens, in this case with higher taxes, while refusing to enforce existing law. And anyone in DOGE doing the same should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I think you would be surprised how many people are hoping for Trump's Presidency to be a disaster, and doing all they can to make it so, just like last time.

I liked Edge as well, but it is tough to find here. Great product, inexpensive and a can lasted forever. When I was working, I'd get it and have it shipped over with other freight. Mennen Speed Stick anti-perspirant as well. Those were the days. I've since switched Cremo shave cream. Non aerosol and I like it much better than anything I have used. For guys that don't mind the extra effort, soap of choice on a scuttle-mug and brush is nice. Fill the scuttle with boiling water and have a nice hot lather....

Midterms

Been here I think 26 years as well, since 10/99 and have never needed an air-conditioner. I like air conditioning, that's why I buy air conditioners. Driving around Bangkok for three days cool and dry in the cab with a pick-up load of "kids" and a couple barrels of water is priceless.

You can only hope

So, given there "...are strict privacy laws enforced by IRS.." about accessing someone else's tax return, why are you up in arms about DOGE having access? Will they not be prosecuted for stealing personal data? IRS agents have access to tax returns, and there is no reason they could not steal the data and sell it.

This is what I said: Like most leftists, you conflate legal immigrants with illegal aliens. There is no evidence that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes per-capita than citizens, this is just a leftist lie based on a phony study. Illegal immigrants drive down wages and drive up the cost of housing. To say they do not is to defy supply and demand. I love that the same leftists that claim illegal aliens keep prices down with cheap labor but somehow don't seem to give a whit about prices when they when they want to use the minimum wage to pander for votes, or when they want to raise corporate income taxes, both of which drive up prices. Mass Illegal immigration benefits the rich on the backs of the poor, that's why the left loves it. So now you cut a paste a few lines from the phony study I was talking about. That you deleted the portion of my comment about the phony study you used in your post proved how dishonest you are.

And the moment that happens, we will begin to be eaten as well.

What would stop him from declaring himself a dictator and having all the judges, "journalists" and members of Congress that disagree with him killed of incarcerated? Is that not what the left insisted when they called him MAGA-fascist-Hitler-dictator? From what I see, Trump is trying to do what he told voters he would do if elected. Trump has done nothing illegal and or unconstitutional, regardless of what media "lawyers" and hysterical politicians and activists claim. If judges are acting as activists making unsupportable bogus decisions for the sole purpose of slowing the President's agenda, why should they not be impeached?

That is actually not that bad....but I'd pass on the 3 in 1

Indeed!!! But that's what you vote for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to worry, California loves killing babies and they can't kill them fast enough, so they provide free abortions and travel vouchers to pregnant women. The left should be stoked. More abortions in the US every year and I think we're going to hit million mark this year, woo-hoo!

LOL - Income is not only wages. Income from a business is taxable, and the owner typically takes a salary as well, which is also taxable. Investment income is also taxable Gains on the sale of stock options are taxable CEO bonuses are taxable

I had Cigna for years and Blue Cross Blue Sheild for a few years. After the first time, I never tried to get preapproval and never tried to get coverage at the provider. Pay the hospital, submit the bill and wait for reimbursement.

I like insurance companies, and they have always been fair with me. That said, insurance companies are in the business of colleting premiums, not paying out claims. As others have said, if you have a preexisting condition, or medical history, be honest and up front about it. Understand your coverage. Do not file claims on things that are not covered If your claim is denied, and you can make an argument why you think it should be approved, write a letter saying as much and resubmit. No need to get nasty, and this will often do the trick.

And Kansas has a bigger GDP than Ukraine

"The Pentagon plans to welcome Elon Musk and "the keen eye of DOGE" to scrutinize its spending "very soon," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Axios on his first overseas trip since taking office. Why it matters: At more than $890 billion, the Pentagon's budget is a behemoth — accounting for roughly half of the U.S. government's discretionary spending this fiscal year." Hegseth welcomes DOGE's "keen eye" to massive Pentagon budget

Dude cracks me up.

A letter of demand from who?

If you pay B25K per year for a visa agent to avoid the B800K in the bank, that's 3% a year, and you still have an illegally obtained visa.

So, what's with the phony 15-Feb deadline you made up?
