Bernie Sanders makes is official: https://www.npr.org/2019/02/19/676923000/bernie-sanders-enters-2020-presidential-campaign-no-longer-an-underdog Mr. Sanders is now probably considered the Democratic front runner, until HRC throws her name in the ring again.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/430526-schools-shut-down-in-wva-as-teachers-go-on-strike Scofflaws who demonstrably care nothing about the children under their charge. Yet another example while public sector unions themselves should be illegal.

And how can the debt be paid off if spending continues to rise and rise and rise? Exactly what is "your share"? 40% of your gross income? 50%? 75%?

And exactly how long can that go on? How much more in taxes are you personally prepared to pay?

If We Can't Cut Entitlements, What Can We Do?: http://reason.com/archives/2019/02/19/if-we-cant-cut-entitlements-wh Agreed. The goals should be to cut the size, scope, and spending of the federal government by at least 25%. Eliminating unconstitutional cabinet-level agencies like Agriculture, Commerce, and Energy is a good start.

And the politicking and calls for softening up the rules begins: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-pol-eagle-scout-sydney-ireland-carolyn-maloney-state-of-the-union-20190205-story.html So this young lady tagged along with her brother while he was in a Boy Scout troop and claims to have completed the same rank requirements (ranks in Boy Scouts are Scout, Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star, Life, Eagle). The national BSA is basically saying "sorry, since you couldn't officially join a scout troop until 2/1/2019 everything you did previously is null and void. You have to start over from scratch." Now there is whining, complaining, and probably a lawsuit, due to a troop, and it's adult leadership, basically going rogue. All so a young lady could try and be the "1st female Eagle Scout". *sigh* Never mind that she's wearing a political button on her uniform in complete violation of BSA policy.

Again, nice dodge. Questions for Those Who Believed Jussie Smollett: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/02/jussie-smollett-beating-case-question-for-believers/

Nice dodge.

Respect: Clinton Central Bulldogs. Cannelton Bulldogs. Animosity: Peru Tigers. Lebanon Tigers.

Please elaborate.

Washington Imperialists Fret Over Trump's Troop Withdrawals: http://reason.com/archives/2019/02/18/washington-imperialists-fret-o It sounds like the military-industrial complex has not been able to control Mr. Trump as much as they thought they could.

Not according to at least one individual here on the GID.

https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2019/02/18/rfra-same-sex-marriage-indiana-discrimination-russiaville-mike-pence/2903487002/ Private parties should be able to consort with whomever they please. Individuals and business owners should be able to serve, or not serve, anyone they please, guided by the marketplace and constrained by competition. Customers who object can take their business elsewhere. Usually, although not always, that process leads to fair outcomes. As it did here.

https://mises.org/wire/our-disastrous-obsession-equality Agreed. Socialism destroys freedom.

Leftist Tax Schemes Bash the Rich, but Depend on Their Success: http://reason.com/archives/2019/02/15/leftist-tax-schemes-bash-the-rich-but-de

or by socialists like Dante Estonia. Crony capitalism at work. Reducing the size, scope, and power of government will eliminate most of this.

Sure. My bad, I didn't know this topic has already been created.

At least it's now home to a nanny government prison. Sorry that you are so salty that desolate northern Hamilton county and it's government school didn't get all that juicy DoD cash like the Maconaquah government school corporation used to get. At least you have all those rich farmers, staying fat and happy off of those Farm Bill checks. My M-I-L was a UPS driver for decades, her route was mostly southern Tipton and northern Hamilton counties. I'm not too bent out of shape concerning Grissom. Defense is a legitimate function of the federal government per the Constitution, but we spend WAY to much on the military. And frankly once the cold war was effectively over having Grissom as an active duty SAC base made no financial sense.

Wrong thread. Please start another concerning Republican candidates for 2020.

Yeah. Bunker Hill reminds me of Arcadia.

The bogus "national emergency" is also more ammo for the impeachment crowd.

Indiana finally has its first national park: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/2019/02/15/indiana-dunes-becomes-national-park-after-century-long-effort/2882357002/ Hmm. It will interesting to see what changes will be made to the National Lakeshore property. It currently is not one contiguous area, but scattered among several parcels of land in northwest Indiana. Kind of like the Hoosier National Forest in the southern part of the state.

Trump Wants To Raid an Asset Forfeiture Black-Box Fund To Build His Border Wall: http://reason.com/blog/2019/02/15/the-asset-forfeiture-fund-trump-wants-to In response to public outrage, the IRS announced in 2014 it was changing its asset forfeiture policies to only pursue cases where there is other evidence of criminal activity. The IRS has previously released some limited data on structuring cases to the Institute for Justice, which leads them to believe the Treasury Department is intentionally stonewalling them. "We know that they have this information, and we know that they can give it up, but they don't want to give us the entire database," says Jennifer McDonald, a senior research analyst at the Institute for Justice, "which leads us to believe that there is something they don't want us to know about these funds." Mr. Trump stealing money from a fund of stolen money/assets. Beautiful.
