You are wrong sir.

Does anyone else find it strange that the same group of people who favor punishing athletes for "disrespecting the flag" also espouse the ideals of "freedom" and limited government overreach? Is anything less free than blind worship of state?

Certainly you’re not suggesting conservatives can be hypocritical.

Former RNC chair Michael Steele spoke out against the White House and silent Republicans in Congress after the president’s tweets regarding Sen. Bob Corker.

Steele: 'Insanity that has engulfed' Trump White House threatens GOP

111 lawmakers want to know about the transgender ban, specifically “what discussions or correspondence between the Pentagon, if any, led President Trump to make his assertion.”

In the groggy early morning hours when my alarm went off today I am almost certain that I heard that a tax reform model being touted is based on Brownback/Kansas. I cannot find it in the news feed, but this seems like it is an old topic, that I clearly missed, from back in September. If this is true, cannot we not look back at recent history with Kansas imploding under lack of tax income, needing to repeal it as its deficit started to reach for the stars.

Anyone have any insight if it is a current topic, or a fever dream?

Obviously it was the talks he had with Tony Perkins, Ralph Reed, Alex Jones and Phil Robertson that influenced his decision.

Another not a tweet storm this morning.

Stock Market has increased by 5.2 Trillion dollars since the election on November 8th, a 25% increase. Lowest unemployment in 16 years and..


...if Congress gives us the massive tax cuts (and reform) I am asking for, those numbers will grow by leaps and bounds. #MAGA


It would be really nice if the Fake News Media would report the virtually unprecedented Stock Market growth since the election.Need tax cuts


The Democrats want MASSIVE tax increases & soft, crime producing borders.The Republicans want the biggest tax cut in history & the WALL!


It is about time that Roger Goodell of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT OUR COUNTRY


Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a "tenfold" increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC = CNN!


This demand is what lead Tillerson to call out POTUS a fucking moron.

With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!

Wolf is trying to plug the hole the legislature failed to fill:
Governor Tom Wolf announced today he is taking another step to fill the state’s funding gap in the absence of a final revenue package.
“This further action will mean we can make our complete payments to local school districts and providers of human services, treatment programs, child care and other important services that Pennsylvanians rely on. Pennsylvanians, especially our kids and most vulnerable, should not bear the consequences of House Republicans’ inaction,” Wolf said in a release.
Wolf proposed the lease in his budget address in February, saying it would bring in $200 million for the state.
The state would retain ownership of the Complex, but will lease it to a private company for 29 years.
Wolf continued to use these actions to put pressure on the House and Senate to pass a revenue package to balance the state’s budget.
“The failure to finalize and responsibly balance the budget means I must take action to make sure the Commonwealth can honor the commitments approved on June 30 by the General Assembly,” Wolf said.

not a fan of this but the legislature is beyond useless

Speaker of the PA General Assembly Turzai is essentially running for Governor without declaring for it. He'd be Grover Norquist's choice.

Perhaps he could call the legislature back to work so they can work on 2017's budget?

MORON ALERT

Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!


NFL gets no tax break, they gave it up, however he probably means the antitrust exemption. His IQ should have sorted that out, then again he does not read.

FALSE MORON ALERT

TRUMP: And one of the all-time greats, and a really great golfer too, Mario Lemieux. Super Mario. And he hits that ball a long way.


I was so hopeful this was true.

that makes three businesspeople turned politicians on the Republican side:
Businesswoman Laura Ellsworth (R-Allegheny) announced today that she will be entering the Republican Gubernatorial primary next year.
“I’m running for Governor of Pennsylvania because I’m tired of politicians treating us like we are stupid. For too long, too many politicians like our Governor have fallen in love with their own voices and confused process with actual progress. We’ve all heard enough talk – it’s time for action,” Ellsworth said in a announcing her candidacy.
Ellsworth is currently first Partner-in-Charge of Global Community Service Initiatives at Jones Day, and has served on the board and executive committee of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and was chair of the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce.
Ellsworth came under fire before she entered the race for donations to Democrats.

her constituency would appear to be people that probably support Wolf, a businessman turned politican that wanted progress. I don't see how she gets more than a few percent in the R primary.
