      @Jolly remember, Congressional districts are apportioned by population of people, not citizens.

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @Jolly You misinterpret my post. It was not about whether or not the border policy under President Trump/Biden was correct or incorrect. It was simply about President Trumps confusion on the ability of the President to act on his own to shut down the border.

          Maybe he can do so, but there are at least two Republic congressmen who do not think so. Maybe they are wrong.

          But as Jolly posted, Trump’s EOs had MOSTLY shut the border down.

          The counter is that he did have trouble getting his desired bills through Congress, but that really is a separate issue. Trump essentially did shut the border without Congressional approval.

          President Trump #'s appear similar to President Obama #'s. Not sure I see where he "closed the border"

          (Yes, obviously compared to what has happened the last 3 years for sure.)

              I am not sure what you mean? Do you mean the number that were allowed into the country ultimately?

              Here is another graph showing "encounters" will illegal immigrants, which appears to be similar. The # of illegals detained or encountered by Border Patrol did not change much from President Obama to President Trump.

                Say, @LuFins-Dad , what’s your preferred metric for border crossing, and what would constitute a passing grade using your preferred metric?

                  The number of people crossing the border, legal and illegal.

                  Illegal, zero
                  Legal, whatever

                          LOL he's done that forever. Hate someone one day, love them the next. He called Pence a loser before picking him as his VP candidate in 2016.

                            When you have lost Fox News..................

                            During a broadcast of Donald Trump's speech at a "Get Out the Vote" rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.

                            Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, "We'll continue monitoring the president's remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he's not entitled to his own set of facts."

                            Making mention of the fact that the market is indeed going up, but that it has nothing to do with Trump, Cavuto went on to shoot down his claim that gas prices are at $6 a gallon, sourcing the real price as being an average of $3.26 a gallon.

                            Ending on Trump's usual song and dance about the 2020 election being stolen from him, Cavuto reminded viewers that the issue has been investigated by everyone and their uncle, even by some judges appointed by Trump himself, and that there's been no evidence found to back his claim on that.

                              Sad Neil even has to correct those basic facts. Honest conservatism will return one day.

                                Sounds like Trump uses the same method for determining gas prices as he does for property values

                                I was only joking

                                        So, a reporter is doing a journalism by pointing out the errors in a candidates speech.

                                        Good for him.

                                        Now, let's see the stenographers at NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN do that with the Big Guy.

                                          Whether or not other outlets "bash" President Biden or not, it doesn't change the "lies" of President Trumps speech.

                                          (We need to start over with two new candidates)
