    I'm sorry that is happening to you, Boston. He is out of line and needs to be stopped if he continues.

    The San Francisco Bay Area has been celebrated — and sometimes mocked — as a progressive beacon, a proud throwback to hippie-era values with its embrace of love and tolerance.

    But in the Nov. 5 election, voters across the region made it clear there are limits to their compassion.

    Motivated by pent-up frustrations with property crime and homelessness, Bay Area voters tacked right in last week's election, ousting the mayors of both cities and rejecting a handful of left-wing candidates.

    A majority of voters in all nine Bay Area counties voted in favor of Proposition 36, a statewide ballot measure that will impose stricter penalties for repeat theft and crimes involving fentanyl.

    "People are tired of feeling like government is unable to solve the most difficult problems," said Keally McBride, a politics professor at the University of San Francisco. "It really is more about frustration with dysfunction."

    There is a good possibility apparently that Gaetz will not be confirmed for the spot. This could be a good thing - he has already resigned from Congress. So if he doesn't get confirmed, will he be unemployed?

    @Nomad - gawd, I hope so. But evil people who are MAGA/align themselves with the orange one never seem to be held accountable for anything they do.

    My hope is it will all implode on them over time. They will control both the House and Senate, so it's going to definitely be a wild ride.

    President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.

    Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military assets" to deport the migrants.

    “TRUE!!!” Trump wrote.

    Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office.
    "On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out," he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."

    There are an estimated 11 million unauthorized migrants living in the U.S. without legal immigration status. Removing them could cost billions of dollars per year.

    Plus, mass deportations could have a broader economic impact by resulting in a loss of tax revenue and labor shortages.

    Criminals does not equal illegal immigrants. What about the criminals that ARE US citizens? I guess they are better than hard working illegal citizens that just want a better life for their family.

    Agree, Nic. I don't think the orange one and his cult realize just how much illegal immigrants do for our country. They take the jobs that usually no one else will do and they work their asses off in the process.

    The raging orange idiot wants to place someone with experience in WRESTLING to dismantle the Department of Education. I swear, this is insanity. I will be a raging alcoholic for the next four years.

    President-elect Donald Trump heaped scorn on the federal Department of Education, describing it as being infiltrated by “ radicals, zealots and Marxists.”

    He has picked Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive, to lead the department.

    The agency’s main role is financial. Annually, it distributes billions in federal money to colleges and schools and manages the federal student loan portfolio.

    Closing the department would mean redistributing each of those duties to another agency. The Education Department also plays an important regulatory role in services for students, ranging from those with disabilities to low-income and homeless kids.
    Trump has vowed to cut off federal money for schools/colleges that push “critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content” and to reward states and schools that end teacher tenure and enact universal school choice programs.

    Trump also has pledged to exclude transgender students from Title IX protections, which affect school policies on students’ use of pronouns, bathrooms and locker rooms. Originally passed in 1972, Title IX was first used as a women’s rights law. This year, Biden’s administration said the law forbids discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, but Trump can undo that.

    Trump has said he would fire “radical left accreditors” and take applications for new accreditors that would uphold standards including “defending the American tradition” and removing “Marxist” diversity administrators.

    Well, you're getting Dr. Oz to head up the Dept of Medicare and Medicaid, so that seems right in line.

    My husband found a village in Italy that is offering houses for Americans for one euro (that need to be renovated) and move-in ready homes for 100,000 euros ($105k). I highly doubt we would do it, but it is tempting.

    We both could, yes. It is very, very tempting indeed. Here's a story about it and the village's website:

    I say go for it! Since you can work remotely and don't own a house right now it seems like a good idea.

    Donald Trump is upset with the media for accurately reporting that his election night victory wasn’t exactly a “landslide.”

    Trump transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Friday took aim at Politico and The New York Times for reporting on the fact that President-elect Trump didn’t win the popular vote by some resounding majority.

    “New Fake News Narrative Alert!” Leavitt posted on X. “Here are the ridiculous headlines from @politico and @nytimes this morning. The fake news is trying to minimize President Trump’s massive and historic victory to try to delegitimize his mandate before he even takes the Oath of Office again.”

    It’s no surprise that Trump and his team are fuming: Since November 5, Trump’s margin of victory has narrowed considerably. As of the vote count Friday morning, Trump only won against Vice President Kamala Harris by 1.6 points, and failed to secure more than 50 percent of the popular vote. Hillary Clinton managed to beat Trump by a larger margin in 2016 than Trump did over Harris in 2024.
