Are you actually claiming that the House Democrats didn't issue that report? Is that all you've got? You've got nothing.

Bipartisan? It is to laugh. , This is the report of the Republican majority and it's agitprop. Look at the headlines they quote in this report. All right wing media. House Democrats release new report defending Mayorkas against GOP's "sham" impeachment effort Washington — House Democrats released a report on Monday defending Defense Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas against an impeachment effort they call a "politically motivated sham" aimed at appeasing the far right. In their 29-page report, which comes ahead of a House Homeland Security Committee vote on a resolution to impeach the cabinet secretary set for Tuesday, Democrats on the committee argued that the impeachment effort is a "total waste of time," stating that it fails to outline any charge that constitutes treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors — the constitutional basis for impeachment. "We don't see the high crimes and misdemeanors standard being met," Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, said in a news conference on Monday. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-democrats-report-alejandro-mayorkas-gops-sham-impeachment/ And if that's not enough, how many Democrats supported the recommendation to impeach Mayorkas? The House voted along party lines last night to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. https://www.npr.org/2024/02/14/1231326417/house-alejandro-mayorkas-impeachment-george-santos-special-election Too funny.

European stocks and currencies rallied sharply on Monday after the Washington Post reported U.S. tariffs might be less aggressive than President-elect Donald Trump has previously threatened, injecting optimism into regional markets. Trump's aides are exploring tariff plans that would be applied to every country but only cover critical imports, the Washington Post reported on Monday. The discussions centre on imposing tariffs only on certain sectors deemed critical to national or economic security, the report said, citing three people familiar with the matter. https://archive.ph/eeSmu#selection-1407.27-1419.179 If this is true, it may possibly be due to the Trump Whisperer: Elon Musk

I apologize. I should have noticed the question mark. -
Actually, the claim is that it was up to 451 billion. And it was a Republican committee that issued that finding. At the time, they were on the warpath and looking to impeach Mayorkas. That fell apart. What's more, it was referencing when illegal immigration was at its height. And that figure of 100 million comes from where? There are at least 10 million undocumented aliens in the US. Are you seriouly claiming that on average each one pays on average only $10 per year in sales taxes alone?

The benefits are for the chldren They're U.S. citizens. So they're entitled

Deflecting much?

I got news for you. The 14th Amendment states that all persons born in the USA (with the exception of children of foreign diplomats) are citizens of the United States. And even if they weren't, here's your original statement: Virtually every illegal alien is on public assistance of some kind. As for paying taxes, you think illegal aliens don't pay sales tax in the states they live in? Some states don't even have income tax. In addition Undocumented Immigrants' Payments Into Social Security Detailed in Report Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $26 billion into Social Security coffers in a single year, a new report has found. New analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) found that undocumented residents paid £25.7 billion into Social Security funds and $6 billion into Medicare in 2022; both programs that they are not entitled to use. In total, undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion, or roughly $9,000 per person, in taxes in 2022. https://www.newsweek.com/undocumented-immigrants-social-security-payments-report-1931990

At the least, he certainly an admirer of Putin. But it does tend to go weak in the knees when it comes to dictators. And even if you are a puppet of Putin's, why would that exclude his belief that he would be admired?

I say you're making things up. Provide some evidence to back up your statement that virtually every illegal alien is on public assistance. I won't hold my breath waiting.

What is it about rates that anthropogenic climate change denialists don't understand. No one questions that climate changes over time. It's the rate of change that's the issue. -

Your comment would make sense if the baseline used to measure average atmospheric temperature, dates from the year of that drop. But it doesn't so your comment is false. -

It was a brief change. As the aerosols dissipated the cliimate returned to normal. Nnlike particles in the atmosphere generated by volcanoaes, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases don't fall to earth in relatively short order. -

From ex Capitol Police officer, Aquilino Gonnell For Many of Us, Jan. 6 Never Ended I keep reliving the five horrific hours of that cold Wednesday afternoon, as I tried to protect elected officials, regardless of their political ideology, and their staffs inside the Capitol building — all without firing my gun. For my efforts doing my duty as a Capitol Police sergeant, I was beaten and struck by raging rioters all over my body with multiple weapons until I was covered in my own blood. My hand, foot and shoulder were wounded. I thought I was going to die and never make it home to see my wife and young son. https://archive.ph/n0v4v#selection-4539.0-4539.34

First of all, 10% of what? Something illegal? What was that illegal act? And it was posted when Joe Biden was not in office But since we know that Hunter Biden repeatedly invoked his father's name as a scam, what's your point. There was also this: A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad. https://www.vox.com/22992772/hunter-biden-laptop

Since intelligence about the opposition is never perfect it's obviously better to act as though they are stronger than you might otherwise believe. The US chose not to follow this dictum. We can see the result of that foolishiness in countries called Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. As for "China shills and propaganda,..." In other words all you've got is denialism without offering a shred of evidence to counter the evidence I produced. You've got nothing.
