SHUTDOWN!

Government Shutdown - Day 5

Wife puts her well-being at risk again by heading out of the compound for another trip to the store. As soon as she heads out, I put my brilliant horse-protection plan into action. As most probably know, I received some supposedly "helpful" advice from Steeler Nation about protecting the boys by separating them inside the house. That certain "friend" cannot expect another delicious fruitcake this Christmas, I'll tell you that. The entire venture did not go well. At all. In any fashion.

I know that Cookie will follow Paxton and that Paxton is Mr. Curiosity so I decide to bring Paxton up to the front door. Okay so the porch is a nice wooden porch designated by Georgia building department as able to hold up to 1.5 Abrams. The fat politician, not the tank. I figure Paxton is not a problem since he weighs about 1000 lbs., which is basically 1.5 Abrams. Not the case apparently. Paxton splits the wood porch wide open, panics when the boards start giving way, and charges into the house. He starts sliding around on the hardwood floor. Not good, at all.

Even worse, when Paxton panics and runs inside, Cookie decides he needs to join him. Two horses now sliding around on the hardwood floor. Let's just say the damage is ... well, it's visible even after I tried covering it up with about 20 area rugs and a dozen towels. I get the horses back outside before wife returns, but when back, wife not happy. She asks why the porch is busted up and the hardwood floors a mess. I of course try to explain why this is due to the GS but she is sooooooo unreasonable and refuses to acknowledge the causation. Frustrating as all hell.

Given the foregoing, I of course did not have time to leave the property to survey the obviously horrific damage done to America by the heinous GS. Try to stay safe and survive the horror known as GS - ruining lives, porches and hardwood floors. Until tomorrow, SN.

I seem to remember that there's a room above the garage for you.

Would you, just once, step outside your fake news bubble and get your facts straight?

An AP Fact Check, GOOD LORD. They have been debunked so many times it's a damned joke now.

Do you even understand the caveat the Demonrats put into this $1.5Trillion in additional spending CR proposal? Eliminating verification, which your AP-Misinformation source (and all other MSM sources conveniently omit)....

"...the alternative funding proposal proposed by Schumer would have put 1.4 million illegal immigrants back on Medicaid after they were removed by restrictions imposed in the One Big Beautiful Bill and included in the House’s continuing resolution passed in late September.

'You have a law in this country that says illegals are not able to get Medicaid. But you know what? You didn't have the verification tools in place to enforce the law. So, we put the verification in the Working Families Tax Cut Act, also known as the Big, Beautiful Bill," he said. "And guess what? The [Congressional Budget Office] … estimated that would kick 1.4 million illegals off of Medicaid if we keep those verifications.'

'And that, by the way, is what is in writing in the alternative proposal in the Senate. Get rid of those verification requirements, which, guess what, means you're putting 1.4 million illegals back on Medicaid," explained Emmer. "That is not what the American people want. That it's not what Donald J. Trump promised, and that's not what Republicans in the House are going to do."

So YES...if the corrupt Demonrats had their way, they would have a CR that would "appear" to eliminate illegals from healthcare, but slipped in a caveat that would PREVENT the verification requirements prohibiting said ILLEGALS from in fact receiving said healthcare.

You are this moronic.

You’re ******* clueless.

How does an UNDOCUMENTED, with no social security number, get federal health care benefits? How do they know they even exist?

Go ahead, take another two days to reply with another sufficiently vague tepid response.

You're completely evading the point, as usual.

After the BBB, one must be validated. The Demonrats are removing the requirement to validate. They are SAYING outloud illegal immigrants can't get health care while simultaneously proposing "but you can't validate if they are citizens or not."

You are the problem.

If they are not verified, how are they going to get healthcare? Are they going to walk in somewhere and just going to get handed an insurance card? I think the term illegals / non-citizens is being used synonymously and they are but the same. I feel only citizens should have access to US healthcare, but i don't see how illegals are going to get insurance since they "don't exist." Let's say an illegal goes into the welfare office. They could give any name / address. With no verification process that same person could goto a different office with a different name and get more assistance. That does not seem realistic at all The system is very broken, but I don't think it's quite that broken.
