When the Army needs a new general they don't interview outside the Army. Great choice city council.

That made zero sense, the Army is worldwide they bring someone in from another command. So they get fresh ideas, break complacency and to energize the command. Things must have changed a lot since you was in. I spent 22 years in the Army and never seen it

we have a huge problem with crime and shootings in columbia. i think the new police chief is part of the problem and does not bring any new ideas or expertise to the dept.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

There was a world series?

Fat Guy Outdoors

I haven't watched a baseball game since the late 80's. Just not my thing.
