I *knew* that's what they thought! If raising a price from $10 to $100 is a 900% increase, then reducing it from $100 to $10 must be a 900% decrease, right?
Right??

"A 9/11 style attack" would be a lot more massive than 2 men with guns, and would have a wider target than a celebration on a beach.....

But this is not "how many people snuck into the US", this is how many were apprehended at the border. There's a lot of missing information - what was going on during Biden's term that would cause them to leave their countries? Did we expel them or give them asylum?

And even if they had a radio, that's how shipwreck survivors call for help. You can't assume you know who they are calling - "come retrieve the drug cargo! Oh, and maybe rescue us while you're here."

R Van Epps beat D Behn by a narrow margin, in a district that went for Trump by 22 points. Behn's concession speech was upbeat, to an enthusiastic crowd. She emphasized the accomplishments of the campaign- it sounded like a victory speech until she said, "and although we didn't win tonight...."

Is this another way to boost ICEs deportation numbers - make deals to bring in workers from other counties, then raid their factories?

I wanted to like Enterprise so badly. Loved Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap. I kept tuning in, but wasn't impressed with the writing. I recall one show where the whole opening was about his beagle being sick. Really?
