1. The DEI stuff was getting out of hand. I understand the reasoning behind it, but it's too much. I mean, what does a DEI employee do all day but delete white male CVs from the database?
2. Males in female sports. I mean, the whole transgender thing just got stupid.
The one thing I don't like is eliminating the cap on drugs - I don't get that one at all.

Why don't we try to be better than just a little bit less bad?
Clemson was 85th this year in rush defense; you cool with us going after Rice's DC? They were 84th so it's an upgrade right?

Getting ready to leave work and read your email...was surprised on the drug cap being eliminated.
Tried to get more information and found this.
The moves by Trump, experts say, are likely to be inconsequential to many Americans in terms of what they pay in out-of-pocket health care costs.
One Biden effort overturned by Trump, for example, had directed Medicare to look at ways to lower drug costs, including whether to impose a $2 monthly out-of-pocket cap on certain generic drugs.
That initiative, however, was only in the development stage, said Stacie Dusetzina, a health policy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and it was unclear whether it would be implemented at all.
Biden’s bigger health care initiatives, such as a $35 monthly cap on insulin, a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap on prescription drugs and Medicare’s negotiating drug pricing provision weren’t affected by Trump’s executive actions Monday.
Basically found this under two sites (this taken from NBC). Are there actual caps which have been removed?

It’s always great when a subset of Americans don’t care about what’s good for America as a whole simply because they don’t see the impact of something on their individual daily lives.

As for Nancy Mace in particular, you may have an argument.
As for women in general, nope.
Now, the hard question: IYO, what is Nancy Mace’s gender?

It’s good to stop DEI for the purpose of engineering diversity.
It’s blatantly misogynistic to suggest that women are categorically inferior and thus none can ever be qualified to be admitted into The Citadel on their own merits.

Another thing I agree with is ICE actually allowed to do their job. The number of illegals released from jails in sanctuary cities after committing crimes is mind boggling. Makes me wonder how this was allowed to happen. Also, makes me wonder how anyone could vote for democrats again after they allow known rapists and criminals that are illegally here back out on the street. Crazy

Republicans have abandoned being the party of law and order, they have lost that title. They elected a felon and then cheered him on as he emptied the prisons of violent criminals.

already brainwashed. Sorry. Democrat DAs across the country have repeatedly released violent criminals, including illegal alien violent criminals to wreak more havoc on the country. You don’t get to turn around and claim the January 6th protestors are actually worthy of harsh prison sentences without being transparent about the fact that you are in favor of justice only for those who disagree with you politically, which is the essence of actual fascism.

They have been too soft on crime. Republicans now have joined them by cheering on the exact same stance. And Trump campaigned on punishing those that disagree with him politically, hence why he was labeled a fascist.

Biden DoJ denied due process for J6 incarcerees
Jan 26, 2025, 7:52 PM
[ in reply to Yep Democrats want to hold them accountable. ] |

That is why Trump has pardoned them.
Due process is denied when the defense counsel is denied access to potentially exculpatory evidence for the clients.
The Biden Handlers Administration’s hyper politicized DoJ was responsible for that blatant violation of the Sixth Amendment. Crooked DC judges knew better, but denied raising this Sixth Amendment violation.
America’s fascist leftists won anyways. Hundreds and hundreds of J6’ers who were denied their due process rights spent a lot of time in prison.
Prior to Biden’s handlers taking over, America at least attempted to show that the Constitution and its laws mattered. That ended between Biden’s inauguration and Biden’s exit.

Not so fast my friend....

There is extensive research showing that immigrants, as a percentage, commit fewer crimes than the native-born population. For example, a 2020 study by the Cato Institute (https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research) found that both documented and undocumented immigrants have lower crime rates than native-born Americans.
No one advocates for a completely open border—reasonable controls are necessary. While immigration doesn’t directly impact me, as a Spanish speaker and educator, I’ve worked closely with many Latino families. The vast majority are hardworking, family-oriented, and contribute positively to their communities.
It's also worth reflecting on history. In Germany, policies initially framed around deportations led to devastating consequences. We should be careful about how we frame issues related to immigration.
My bigger concern is the growing income inequality in the U.S. When the middle class vanishes, the resulting economic instability could lead to unprecedented levels of crime and societal upheaval. We should address the root causes of inequality instead of scapegoating immigrant communities.

Good try. I didn’t say immigrants. I’m talking about illegals. Every illegal immigrant is guilty of breaking the law by crossing our border illegally. So they have all committed a crime. Maybe you should go watch the video I posted of ICE rounding up illegals that have committed serious crimes and were released from jail in sanctuary cities.

That's propaganda and you should recognize it as such. The vast majority of crimes committed by illegals are committed against other illegals who are too scared to report them for fear of deportation. And that doesn't even account for all the crimes committed by illegals in blue areas where they don't even ask them for their immigration status so those crimes are reported but since nobody ever thinks to ascertain whether the perpetrator is an illegal or not it never gets put into the illegals who commit crimes bucket. If you think Jews who had been in Germany for centuries being summarily rounded up and executed en masse is in any way analogous to wanting forreigners who are here illegally (especially the criminals) deported you really should do some reflection on what led you to this point in your life.

My gut is that the crime rate is lower among them though due to not wanting to draw attention to themselves. I agree though that we don't the actual stats due to crimes not being reported. As far as the crimes where they are busted by the cops though, it is lower.

We’ve got enough crime from the misdeeds of ‘native’ Americans.
I don’t care if the crime RATE is lower for illegal immugrants than for ‘native’ Americans.
Illegal immugration = increased absolute numbers of crimes being committed in America.
No thanks.
