President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

Zero. When my family immigrated here we weren't $38 trillion dollars in the red. That will come home to roost. When it does entitlements will have to be scaled back. We owe this money to citizens first. This shouldn't even be a discussion anymore

We may owe it to citizens first but the MIC will get first crack at it.

We should only import people who can pay their own way. No welfare for noncitizens. If you don’t like that, I’d recommend forming a charity to help.

Bona fide refugees and asylum seekers should remain welcome. And they're often poor.

YouTube will pay $22 million to settle the claims made by Trump to the nonprofit Trust for the National Mall, which is “dedicated to restoring, preserving, and elevating the National Mall, to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom,” according to a court document.

The social media company will also pay $2.5 million to settle with other plaintiffs, such as the nonprofit American Conservative Union.

Meta agreed to settle Trump’s lawsuit in January for $25 million. X’s settlement in February involved a payment of around $10 million, according to the New York Times.

Judge Suspends Trump administration’s Plan to Eliminate Hundreds of Voice of America Jobs​

A federal judge agreed Monday to temporarily suspend the Trump administration’s plan to eliminate hundreds of jobs at the agency that oversees Voice of America, the government-funded broadcaster founded to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II.

US District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, D.C., ruled that the US Agency for Global Media cannot implement a reduction in force eliminating 532 jobs for full-time government employees on Tuesday. Those employees represent the vast majority of its remaining staff.

The idea of DEI programs in Myanmar is pretty outrageous.

NSAID for Burma..helped religious minorities get an education. Par for the course for modern Republicans. Education bad. Wait till they find out it helped the Christian minority.

Do the 532 people working at VoA know WW2 is over?

Yes there I go. Your telling someone to not worry about feds pulling that crap merits such a response. You're saying 'take it and don't complain'.
Who did I come to defend? I was addressing you, the one who recommends letting the government piss in your mouth.

You’re commenting on something that you know nothing about.

There’s a reason I posted that specifically to that person because of a comment that he made in another thread.

Go do your homework.
