  1. The point is, all these people intended to cross into the United States illegally. If any had not been "caught", would they have turned around and left? No. Their action/intention was to criminally enter another country. People who have "illegally" entered the United States have NO right to due process, as they aren't supposed to be on U.S. soil to begin with. It is only through their criminal action that they stand on U.S. soil.
  2. Under Obama, over 3 million people were deported—but 75–83% never saw a judge or had a chance to plead their case. Most were removed through expedited processes at the border—no court hearing, no trial. And this isn't unique to Obama. Under Clinton and Bush, millions were also deported without judicial oversight. Due process? Apparently, only if a republican or Donald Trump is in charge! Where was all the outrage then? Where were the protests against Obama, Clinton, or Bush? This has been standard practice under many presidents before Trump. No president in U.S. history has ever been required to get permission from the courts—or from anyone else—to defend the sovereignty of their own borders.
  3. Watch it all, or at least from 1:36 or 1:46 .

  5. An Army helicopter flying in the D.C. airspace Thursday forced two commercial passenger jets inbound to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to perform go-around maneuvers. The FAA’s Chris Senn says the Army Black Hawk helicopter took a scenic route around the Pentagon versus proceeding directly from the west to the heliport. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/02/army-helicopter-00324490
  6. I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy. I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. Didn't we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of weapons of mass destruction? Did we ever find any? Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their [rare earth] minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war? Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago??? The White House isn’t doing enough to combat the evil transgender assault against our children. This should be an all-out effort by Republicans to end this insanity. I am also concerned with the pace of election integrity reforms and the rogue judicial system. When you are losing my support, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that. Marjorie Taylor Greene
  7. No one will manage your money with more dedication than yourself.

  10. If the company match is less than a dollar, and capped, I generally tell people to refrain from the 401 program and invest in a good mutual fund. While the best years of mutual funds were 1980 thru 1997, there are a handful of funds that have a long-term 10+ year track record of sustained high performance. That said, you can gain stock buying confidence by purchasing companies you know (truck makers). That's out area of expertise. If you bought Oshkosh at $4.00 in 2008 (global financial crisis total market melt down) and sold in 2021 for $133, your nervousness about stocks would be gone. Invest in companies and industries you understand, and stay away from the rest.
  11. Often, you can earn more money not contributing to a 401 but rather investing yourself. And that's even if you invest in mutual funds because you aren't confident with stocks. How much does your employer match your contribution?
  12. President Trump is replacing national security adviser Mike Waltz (who carelessly included an Atlantic journalist on classified group chat). The President will nominate Waltz to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will act as interim national security adviser.

  15. The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the CRJ, Army Captain Rebecca Lobach, did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident. On the night of January 29, Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor. Three months on, new details reveal that Lobach made more than one mistake leading to the collision with an AA CRJ. Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course. Lobach's piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that another aircraft was nearby. 15 seconds before colliding with the CRJ, Reagan National air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so. Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.
