Hardest thing about keto is going to a nearby Mexican restaurant (we have 3 good ones within 2 miles), and having to wait for my food while everyone else eats chips.“The chips are greasy,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. “It’s just not healthy to eat so many of them.”
Organic chips are the bomb. They're light and crispy. Perfect compliments to my Mateo's gourmet salsa. Had some last night. Delicious.
Says the same guy who promoted this plan:In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Trump described the pay increase as "inappropriate."
"We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases," the President wrote.
An across-the-board 2.1% pay increase for federal workers was slated to take effect in January. In addition, a yearly adjustment of paychecks based on the region of the country where a worker is posted -- the "locality pay increase" -- was due to take effect.
Trump said both increases should no longer happen.
...
In ordering the raises canceled, Trump cited his statutory authority to adjust pay because of "national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare." Yet the President frequently touts a growing US economy, including a strong growth rate for the gross domestic product and low unemployment
The tax plan alone is expected to increase the deficit by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, according to a government estimate.
This is one of the most maddening things about him. He addresses legit issues, but uses a nuke on them rather than a scalpel.

I'm a little torn. On the one hand: sympathetic to people in Cuba, Zimbabwe, and other dictatorships where people lost their lands and property. On the other hand: Yall lost the war, there is no going back.Removal of Palestinians' refugee status would effectively mean they would lose the "right of return" to homes that are now in Israel and reclaim lost property -- a move that would have enormous significance for the approximately 5.3 million Palestinian refugees registered with UNRWA.
During the Arab-Israeli War of 1948/49, which followed the establishment of the State of Israel, about 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes, a period the Palestinians call "Nakba," meaning catastrophe.
Most Palestinians consider the right of return to be an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. It has long been considered what is called a "final status" issue in peace talks, an acknowledgment that it is among the toughest areas for Israelis and Palestinians to reach agreement.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
The more I hear about this, the more I'm not sure I buy it. Not that this person isn't in the administration at some level, but that their motives are what they state. We all know how Trump acts. This is the guy that looked directly at the solar eclipse after he was told not to look directly at the solar eclipse. Writing an op-ed where you state that you are working against the President because you want X, Y and Z is exactly how you get Trump to fight against X, Y and Z even if they are great ideas.
