@polishalkyy @Atomsmade Because they will have morals and know science?

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

@JoeSixPackShow @Atomsmade That doesn't say what you think it says lol. Also I studied biology and human anatomy in college lol. Its irrelevant to these basic facts.

But notice how it says human growth and development. The human life starts at the fetal stage.

Good, glad they got him. The officer was doing his job and this guy hit the gas with him half inside the car, then hit him on the way out. That's what ICE deals with every day, and it's exactly why people calling them the violent ones have it backwards. The person who turns a traffic stop into a car attack is the one who made it violent.

Exactly. Girls' teams exist because boys and girls aren't built the same, and every roster spot that goes to a male on a girls' team is a spot a girl doesn't get. Colorado voters just passed Prop 134 to put school teams back on biological sex, and that's how it should be at every level, not just high school.

Four more states started limiting soda and junk food on SNAP this month. Money is fungible, so it won't stop everyone, people can still shift cash around. But in the states that already did it, soda spending per SNAP household dropped 8% early this year. Food assistance is supposed to be the bare minimum paid for by taxpayers, and stopping some of the abuse is better than stopping none of it.

Elizabeth, New Jersey voters just brought back a cap that holds yearly rent increases to $20 a month, with 68% voting yes. Sounds great until you remember property taxes, insurance and repairs don't care about a $20 cap. Landlords stop fixing buildings, nobody wants to build new ones, and the people still looking for a place end up paying more for less. Rent freezes never help. Overall they make rent more expensive for more people.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Exactly. Subpoenas are supposed to be for real investigations, and the Supreme Court has said Congress can't run investigations just to punish people. Bragging that you'll toss them out like Mardi Gras beads before Democrats even take the majority tells you the evidence isn't what's driving this. Same standard I'd hold Republicans to. Investigate when there's real evidence of wrongdoing, not as payback.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Agreed. The House passed the SAVE America Act back in February and the Senate sat on it the rest of the year. Needing an ID to vote is about as basic as it gets. You need one to buy a gun and that's a right too. Republicans should have dropped the filibuster early in the term and passed it then.

DHS says Border Patrol caught 98,708 people at the southwest border in all of fiscal 2026. Biden's worst single month was 249,740. Same border, same agency, completely different result, because the people in charge decided to actually enforce the law. Enforcement isn't bad and it was never impossible. It was always a choice.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

@___TheGOOdWitch Just dumb.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Agreed. The bill doesn't need a button to shut podcasters down. It hits platforms with fines up to $109 million over vague "harms," and when the penalty is that big and the rules are that fuzzy, platforms will pull anything independent that looks risky. Australia is heading right where the UK already is, with the government deciding what speech is too harmful to hear.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Exactly. Under Whitmire's new order, Houston police won't call ICE on someone with an immigration warrant unless they're being arrested for a jailable offense, and he said himself he did it because "elections matter." A warrant doesn't stop counting because Democrats won some races. If an officer already has someone with an ICE warrant in front of them, handing them over is just enforcing the law that's already on the books.

The Freedom Caucus wants Republicans to stay in town until they pass voter ID, a ban on sanctuary cities, a congressional stock trading ban and at least $1 trillion in spending cuts before Democrats take over in January. Voter ID, a stock trading ban and real spending cuts should have passed in year one, when Republicans had the House, Senate and White House and could have dropped the filibuster to get it done. This is what waiting gets you.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Jim Jordan's "that's life" answer on gas prices is going around again, and it's a good reminder of what kept Republicans home this month. The Iran war wasn't the problem. Gas going from under $3 to over $4.50 was, and that part was fixable. Repeal the federal gas tax, give people real relief, and go harder to end the war faster instead of telling voters to live with it.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Agreed. Believing there are two sexes isn't colonialism, it's biology. Sex comes down to which gametes your body is built to make, there's no third option, so "nonbinary" isn't a real category. If Parliament is taking expert advice from people who think basic biology is oppression, that tells you how this bill would get enforced on parents.

New York Democrats are already lining up to tax the rich to pay for things like universal childcare, while the state is sitting on an $8 billion surplus. If $8 billion extra isn't enough to cover your priorities, the problem isn't that rich people pay too little, it's what you're trying to buy. Universal childcare can't be paid for without massive taxes, and it puts the government in charge of kids in their youngest years. Cut the spending, not the paychecks.

Gina Hinojosa hasn't even taken office and she's already promising to end Texas school choice. More than 274,000 kids applied in the first year, nearly three-quarters from low- and middle-income families, and over 110,000 already have funded accounts. Pulling that money and sending it back to the same public schools those parents were trying to leave isn't helping kids, it's protecting the system from competition. Competition is what makes schools improve, and no kid should be stuck in a failing school because the state says so.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Exactly. That debate is the reason he wasn't the nominee. He was out of the race less than a month later because nobody could defend his decline anymore. Saying now that it "didn't disturb" him because it "wasn't consequential" is just more pretending the whole country didn't see what we saw.

[BasedDad @BasedVetDad]

Agreed. A mother and two little boys are dead, and police say the truck never even braked, with YouTube open on a tablet in the cab. If DHS is right that he was released into the country in 2023, this was preventable, and the people who ran that release policy own part of it. Let the court handle the manslaughter charges, and if he's here illegally he gets deported when it's done.
