And so hookers in Nevada could get tax exemptions.
A final effort by Senate Republicans to halt cuts to pensions of military retirees failed late Tuesday, after Democrats blocked an amendment to the controversial budget bill.
The two-year budget agreement, which cleared a key test vote earlier in the day, was expected to get a final vote no later than Wednesday.
Ahead of the final vote, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., tried unsuccessfully to use a parliamentary tactic to force a vote on the amendment, which he wrote to undo the cuts for military retirees.
A provision in the already House-passed bill would cut retirement benefits for military retirees by $6 billion over 10 years.
Sessions wanted to instead eliminate an estimated $4.2 billion in annual spending by reining in an IRS credit that illegal immigrants have claimed.
He and fellow senators argued the bill unfairly sticks veterans and other military retirees with the cost of new spending.
“It’s not correct, and it should not happen,” Sessions said on the floor.
“By blocking my amendment, they voted to cut pensions for wounded warriors,” he said afterwards. “Senators in this chamber have many valid ideas for replacing these pension cuts, including my proposal to close the tax welfare loophole for illegal filers, and all deserved a fair and open hearing. But they were denied.”
Sessions’ office claimed the vote Tuesday to block the amendment was a vote to “cut military pensions instead of cutting welfare for illegal immigrants.”
Disabled vets are not spared either.
There is, however, money enough to study duck penises, provide “lifestyle lessons” for Senate staffers and more:
•$10 million for National Guard advertising tie-ins with the “Soldier of Steel” movie, despite budget cuts reducing the Guard’s strength by 8,000 soldiers.
•$7 billion for the Pentagon to destroy vehicles and other military equipment used in wars in the Middle East rather than sell or ship the items home.
•$17.5 million for special tax exemptions for Nevada brothels, including tax deductions for groceries, wages for prostitutes, rent and utilities.
•Nearly $1 million since 2010 for the National Endowment of Humanities “Popular Romance Project,” which studies romance novels, films, comics and Internet fan fiction.
•$630,000 spent by the State Department to buy followers on its Facebook and Twitter accounts.
•$325,525 for a National Institutes of Health study that found wives would be happier if they could calm down faster during arguments with their husbands.
•$150,000 to support the Puppets Take Long Island festival in Sag Harbor.
The cuts would save $6 billion over ten years. Unauthorized illegal aliens receive $4 billion in tax credits every year.
Senate Republicans tried to block the bill, but democrats stood with the illegals over the veterans.
Member of Congress and civilians employed by the government are not affected.
Congress is cutting the pensions of those who served our country so that illegal aliens would not have to do with a little less. The world is going to hell.
I think this is absolutely outrageous. What do you think?
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
@Joe:
Oh no, Bees, I think he’s figured it out. (Now I’m gonna have to get a new coat) Since Joe is Jewish, maybe I should get a coat of many colors……
Retire05. Joe is fun. Can you believe it?
The presentation is logical and simple. We know what an orange looks like and need not have additional explanation of its identity. In the same way, we know from experience (as with the orange) that a few weakened spots in a symmetrical building cannot collapse under implosion unless the ENTIRE structure has been weakened. Gravity works vertically and not horizontally. The only time an object can fall horizontally is if an opposing force changes its downward trajectory.
Building 7 fell because of explosions and NOT because of a theoretical implosion. The fires were not large enough to cause a complete catastrophic failure. If you say that implosions caused its collapse, where is your evidence. But before you can submit evidence, you must first disprove the video. And because you refuse to watch the video, I’m left to believe that you are not here to argue about the WTC collapse, but are up to something else.
A sky scraper supported by solid steal beams and designed according to specifications to withstand earthquakes, high winds, and (get this) airplane attacks cannot implode without significant forces. And furniture fires is not enough to cause an implosion. Your argument is not factually sound in this case.
Disprove the video. The video shows “explosions” as denoted by the multiple flashes; they weree not implosions.
You’re assuming WTC 7 imploded and you state this blindly with no proof or evidence. Forget it…not going to debate this with you any further. You’re using a wild idea here. Plus, the owner has already admitted to ordering the destruction of WTC 7. On the radio, he gave orders to “pull it”. This is a term often used by demolition crews.
Ahhh….forget about it. I can see I’m not debating anyone serious. You guys are playing games here.
Joe
Ahhh! That’s so cute. The little kiddies are playing.
@Joe:
Hey, fruitcake….. I thought you were done. Obviously not. Tell me, do you and Ron Paul sip tea together at Debra Medina’s house every month?
BTW, why don’t you tell us how long Building 7 burned before the FDNY got there?
*Laughs Out Loud* I can’t take you guys serious at all. This is hilarious! I wish that you were agents willing to argue out in the open. That’s a lot better than hiding behind computer screens and hacking into civilian computers, or secretly listening to someone else’s phone calls.
So what would you agents like to discuss? My favorite color or television show? For a while, I thought you all were supporters of the CONN-servative party.
Joe
P.S. And do any of you know who I am?
When all else fails, resort to childish comments….happens every time. By the way, I don’t sip tea; I chug it. And if I had the honor of doing so, I’d drink with Ron Paul any day so he and I can both remark about how degenerative our society has become; assuming you are actually Americans.
Joe
@Joe:
Ah, now we’re getting to the truth. You’re a Paulbot. And I would bet the ranch that you have never met him, or if you have, it was at some Fruitcake Rally for Ron.
Yeah, I know a lot of people like you. Ones that love to point out that Ron Paul is a Republican. Ah, but he’s not. He’s what ever party he thought he could win his elections being. He tried the Libertarian Party, and cratered. One of the happiest days for Texans was when Ron Paul decided to retire. Yeah!!!! He’s gone. Now the people of Lake Jackson are the only ones that have to deal with him.
Again, you waste your time, Joe. There are important things to be passionate about. I listed some of them, yet you ignored them. But I also know people just like you and you are a fruitcake. So, please, feel free to continue to prove it but do not be surprised when people make fun of you. You deserve it.
Still waiting for you to tell me how long Building 7 burned before FDNY got there. But I guess you’re just into spouting insanity, not answering questions.
Joe
WHO ARE YOU?
IT’S TIME TO TELL
LIKE GEORGE BUSH WOULD SAY,
BRING IT ON,
WHILE I’m watching ON TURNER MOVIES,
THE LOST WORLD,
AT FIRST
I thought it was about AMERICA OF today,
BYE
@Joe:
No. We don’t know that from experience. I’ve never seen a symmetrical building, certainly not one with a ‘few weakened spots’ and I have never seen one ‘imploded, so we DON’T know that ‘from’ experience.
And we DON’T KNOW that from experience either. And someone ‘telling’ me is probably just THEIR OPINION. NOT my experience.
AND what is our EXPERIENCE that tells us that is true? How many average citizens know the difference in explosions and theoretical explosions?
And what is our experience for that? How many people know what size fire is needed to cause a catastrophic failure? We’ve seen an orange, but not what size fire is needed.
That’s what you SAY, but it is not something the average person has seen as they’ve seen an orange. If someone told you that an orange ball about 3 inches in diameter is an orange, then you might be trying to get juice out of a softball. Someone ‘telling’ you about the construction of a building is not an experience for you. It is just an opinion.
So, you”re saying anything that flashes is an explosion? ever seen flashing lights on top of a police car. Were they exploding or imploding, or either. Again, that is only an opinion.
I don’t assume it at all and don’t accept it. You said it without proof or evidence, I didn’t say it. You’re losing track of your own argument.
you got that right.
@Joe:
You don’t think we’re going to give out classified info, do you?
Joe
one more thought, YOUR ENGENEERS and YOU,
might forget that those buildings where not empty, and your and their evaluations,
tell us they did not include all the componants inside, which some are explosive and highly,
AS ENGENEERS THEY SURELY OVERLOOK THAT IMPORTANT FACT WHILE MEASURING THE BUILDING,AND THEY TURN NOT ON THEIR PROBABLE ERRORS OF JUDGEMENT AND POOF THEY HAD
THE WHOLE TOP GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP GUILTY OF ASSOCIATION EVEN OF THE WHOLE TRAGEDY,
this is insanity and mildly put,
and further more, every highrise bulding posess weak parts
weak side weak separation weak window, weak insert,
weak nails, it might be very small and unseen and unfelt,
unless the bulding collapse and your friend engeneers find them and shout accusation of murder on the leader in place,
especialy if they are a bunch of democrats
under a PRESIDENT BUSH leadership.
YES THE MOVIE LOST WORLD, IS LIKE AMERICA HERE NOW,
@Redteam:
Are we supposed to be impressed with Joe for some unknown reason? And why would I care who he is? I know what he is. A Paulbot fruitcake.
Well I’d say mission accomplished. You folks do not know a thing and are nothing but immature children, and especially sore losers.
Let me know when you are all ready to grow up.
Good night….
Oh, almost forgot. I do not care if you are impressed with me or not; it isn’t your opinions I value. I’d say the view I’ve given to a few of my associates interested in our discussions pretty much summed it all up as I’m doing now; you guys are sore losers who lack true debating skills and couldn’t tell the difference between a frying pan and a Chinese Wok.
Have a nice evening folks. The mystery man is off to sleep. Until next time…maybe.
Joe
@Joe:
Yeah, we’ve all noticed all the libs on your side running to second your wild ass speculations. Let’s see, there was ole………..well, there was, uh, uh,uh…………. Well there really was old ………uh, you remember don’t you?
Yep, you’ve ginned up lots of libs jumping on your bandwagon……
Joe
don’t sleep too sound,
because we”ll get you, day or night,
start your new year with good resolutions,
and stay alert, AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS NEXT TIME,
WE TOLD THEM A LOT OF WHAT THEY DUNNO,
BUT PLEASE DON’T SPILL THE BEAN,
BYE
Still nothing constructive to say eh? *laughs* I don’t expect anything from you guys; too immature and typical uneducated GOP supporters. Such blind fools. Actually I don’t believe any of you support either party. The way you guys write on here, I’m not sure what political party you side with. As for me, I’ve been set freed from the political trap of the two party system.
Oh and I had a very good nights rest.
Bye
And give you guys more computers to hack? *laughs* No, they are enjoying the hilarious remarks enough and none of them have any desire to discuss political issues with you all.
By the way, I’m not sure if you were told this, but standard English only uses capital letters at the first word of a sentence, personal pronouns, or abbreviations. Otherwise, some might consider your use of capital letters as yelling.
Joe
@ilovebeeswarzone:
I like that.
Joe
yes i have that bad habit, but this time i was really yelling
because you don’t seem to hear the regular alphabet,
BUT I never use the caps when i speak english
@Joe:
Joe, I know you likely suffer from fried brain syndrome, but I’ll try to help you a little. It wasn’t any OF US that came on here and said we had “several college degrees with a 3.96 GPA” and then later admit that you didn’t attend any college, but did go to a couple of tech schools for BODY REPAIR that did give you a certificate of attendance. Maybe you should have tried BRAIN REPAIR instead of body repair.
Now that does appear to be true, I think you’ve joined the Fruitcake Party.
You didn’t see anyone suspicious lurking around in a Coat of Many Colors, did you?
Redteam
I have one of those, yes but he was sleeping with one eye open,
I thought it was unusual,
When did I ever admit to not attending any college? I’ve just completed Kaplan University liar. *laughs* My brain is far superior to yours. I’m not the one immersed into the unscientific structural implosion theory from furniture fire. *Really laughs hard*
The only fruitcake I’m enjoying is the one you serve everyday; loaded with idiocy. *laughs*
Yea, as a matter of fact I did. But it was you dressed in pink wearing bugs bunny slippers and carrying an emergency umbrella incase a building implodes from cigarette fire. *laughs*
Anything else hippy?
Yea, one eye open and still able to see while sleeping. Yet you’re deaf, dumb and blind while standing awake. *rolls on floor*
Have to do better than that. Apparently we can’t have a logical discussion, so what the heck; I’ll just have a little fun talking smack.
I won’t tease you because you’ve actually been pretty nice, despite a few comments you’ve made. Other than that, I have no qualm with you, so I’ll leave you alone; unless you give me reason. :o)
Joe
I wonder why the man, women or transvestite with no name calls himself, “Redteam”? What team? Jerky boys or something? Oh wait! I know! He’s part of the Drag Queen Jerk team. *laughs*
Oh I found you Red. *laughs* You are a hacker wantabee! Found your website.
http://www.redteamsecure.com/labs/post/26/Red-Team-Tiger-Team-Hacking-Presentation
@Joe: 223
Where is ‘Kaplan University Liar’ located? Did you get another 3.96 with them?
computerese for *laughs* is LOL and for *rolls on floor* is ROFL, these save a lot of time and you don’t have to use the * key.
wantabee? that’s wannabee LOL, so now you have to worry about how good I am…..what do I know? If you lose your IP address, just ask.
Geez, Joe, you don’t already know the answer to that question? You don’t even know if I’m man, women or transvestite? well, that’s one of the symptoms of FBS.
WE are better to laugh than shoot,
Wow, so we have to validate our posts? *laughs* Now why would I need to do that? Need to verify my IP Address? *ROFL*
Give it up old man! You’re old school tactics are boring, as are your posts.
Joe
@Joe:
Oh, so now you’ve jumped to the opinion that I’m an old man, when just one post ago you didn’t know if I was man, woman, or transvestite? That FBS must be hell, maybe even worse than BAL.
not a strict requirement.
You don’t have to use the *’s with ROFL. that’s the same as misspelling it. ROFL.
Still boring….
Hey Red; Wal-Mart has the “Juicers” on sell. Go pick one up old man. Eat your vegetables like a good boy; they’re good for you. And for goodness sakes; stay away from the biscuits and gravy, and stop eating so much bacon. You’re brain cells are fried enough.
@Joe:
Okay, which is it? old man or good boy?
that would be ‘your’ brain cells, not you’re. And I don’t have to worry about FBS I’ve never worked on radars on F16’s or been a Obama believer, both of which would exclude me from having the Libs illnesses.
Old age showing itself. Looks like your short-term memory loss is evident. You said,
“I’ve never worked on radars on F16′s”.
Funny because neither have I old man. I worked on F-16’s, but I did not work on its radar. And the radiation exposure that hit me was not from an F-16. It was an aircraft parked in the row forward of my spot that was undergoing radar troubleshooting procedures. It’s ok old man; I know what you meant. Just relax, put on your nice pink and puce knit sweater and watch a little television. I’m sure Fox News, MSNBC and CNN have more lies they can hypnotize you with.
Good night old man. Oh, and don’t forget to pull out and soak your dentures this time; the smell is horrible from here. *ROFL*
@Joe:
I don’t watch your channels. It sounds as if you’ve given up now and all you can say is to repeat what I’ve said.
I don’t wear dentures, and you’re the one that said you were radiated by an F16 radar, I didn’t say it.
You didn’t tell us if your recent on line univ gave you a 3.96 GPA. We are anxious.
When did you decide I’m an old man, you just asked if I were a man, woman or transvestite. How did you make up you re-fried brains?
Well good morning Mr. Red. Hope you had a restful night. Don’t forget to perform your morning exercises; gotta stay in shape you know.
My final GPA is 3.96%. My Associate’s Degree is in Information Technology of Applied Science. I had to acquire skills into a new career because of my physical limitations, which prevents me from performing difficult aircraft maintenance. Not that any of this is beneficial information to you all, but then again, let’s just hope that you are not simply trying to phish for information via social engineering. You did say you are an engineer correct? *laughs*
Your communication is what leads me to believe you are an old man. Plus you mentioned that you are retired and on Social Security. And Social Security cannot be acquired until at least age 62, but generally 65 (some are able to start collecting early). But if you are on Social Security Disability (SSD), then that would be a totally different scenario, thus possibly making you much younger.
Anyways, have a nice day.
Oh, btw, did you know that one of the Victims of Flight 93 who supposedly died in the plane crash, also died at the shooting in Virginia Tech? And did you know she is actually still alive, and her last name is Rothschild?
Probably not….
Joe
Joe
THERE IS ONLY ONE ROTHCHILD IN THE WHOLE WORLD,
@Joe:
well, at least you are able to get the same grade out of each school.
yep, those Rothschilds are slippery folks. I’m pretty sure it was the same one that was at Sandy Hook, last year. You know that she got off Flight 93 with a parachute don’t you? They only had one parachute on board, and it was reserved for Rothschild. Thankfully she was wearing her bullet proof vest at VT and Sandy Hook.
Redteam
NOW WE KNOW WHY THE BOAT WAS THERE, THAT WAS FOR ROTHCHILD, LANDING IN THE BOAT WITH HIS PARACHUTE, IT COULD HAVE TURN KILLING HIM,
GOOD TO KNOW HE SURVIVE
You guys are so naïve and gullible. Not that it matters but here’s a video of Elizabeth Waino who was killed on flight 93, and who was also Elizabeth Hill who was killed at the Virginia Tech shooting. Oh and who is also still alive under the name Adrain Rothschild and married to movie director Sacha Gervasi.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HNVlfpqbLA
I’ve also seen the other flight 93 passengers and every single picture uses the same cropped facial images, but different clothing. But that video is too long, so I won’t post it. Watch the video above and you will see the famous woman who managed to die twice and live the third time.
What you don’t realize is that you all are standing on the train tracks with an oncoming train, but everything is going to be all right. That’s a perfect description of you. *laughs*
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/03/15/the-911-passenger-paradox-what-happened-to-flight-93/
@Joe:
that’s LOL.
@Joe:hey, good link Joe, I found this there:
Now we know where the Dimocrats get their voters, off the ‘doomed’ flights that are continuously flying around the country, in case some extra voters are needed somewhere.
And we know where the GOP holds their election campaigns. At your MOMS! *ROFL* She’s got more hole there to fit more than a 757; much better than the conn job seen in Pennsylvania.
You’re an idiot….know that?
@Joe:
and that, from someone who has only managed to get a 3.96 GPA is interesting. You need to work on your grades a little, then maybe someone will accept them.
Only? *ROFL* What ever dude….nothing wrong with having straight A’s. And you need to work on getting a life……LOSER!
@Joe:
Why did you sign that as LOSER? you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself…
@Joe:
what, in basket weaving and petticoat embroidery?
Basket weaving? Not even close. Sex education is my major. And your Mom says hi. LOL!
So, I’m wondering if that was you knuckleheads who managed to steal my credit card information and stole #378 dollars out of my account. The authorities have been contacted and I’ve provided them your user name information. They have a copy of all members of this site pertaining to this particular blog. If you guys are caught, I promise that I will press full charges.
I figured you guys were nothing more than social engineers. I caught the last guy who did this, and if it was you, I will catch you too….that’s a promise.
Joe
