That’s just wrong. Says it last sentence first paragraph.

Heard an interview with the congressman who is trying to get 9/11 classified as a National holiday. Very thoughtful approach.

Rather than a National holiday, it would be a better idea to devote the entire curriculum on that school day to the history of that day. Not only the events of 9/11, but what led up to it, how the world changed post 9/11, etc.

Don’t really see a fit from the ACC from the PAC’s perspective or from the ACC schools perspective.

New Mexico State seems to fit in a lot of ways. Struggling to come up with a second (assuming no more teams defect from Mountain West).

Sole proprietor and s-corp both can get pass through deduction. S- corp can save on some payroll taxes though if there are significant earnings beyond what a normal salary would be, and it’s more of a distribution.

Same thing with Harris if she can’t go into a hostile environment with reporters or moderators who don’t agree with her one time.

2 terrible choices.

All he would need to do is show up, and speak calmly on the issues. I think he and his advisors know he doesn’t have it in him at this point.

Harris needs to continue to own the narrative though. Trump is very good about moving the conversation in the media. It would be a mistake to think she can just ride the debate win for a few weeks. She needs to get on any show that will have her.

Tax avoidance is perfectly acceptable but the law will never be written in a way that directly or indirectly allows someone to close an LLC and open a new one to claim the deduction. Doing so will be tax fraud. You and your friends know it but it is ok because you won't get caught since it's only $50,000.

Which country do you live in? The laws allow the rich to use bankruptcy to their advantage in the United States of America. If that’s allowed anything is possible. And to be honest I don’t blame them for doing it because the law allows it. They didn’t write the laws. Not to mention I just explain to merge people shutting down their sole proprietorships and opening a LLC to get the pass through deduction. One merge called a good idea.

Laws won't solve this problem. Better parenting, better mental health screening, and an overall change of culture will.

BINGO. To me there are 2 separate categories. The school shootings are different.

Category 1 is the gun violence daily in urban areas ahem Chicago, Baltimore, LA etc. It happens SO often that it's no longer a news story. Have you ever seen the 4th of July weekend Chicago murders/shootings averages??? What's common there is they are gangbangers with sheets that constantly get out and repeat crime and violence. And yet Chicago is a "Gun Free Zone" according to legislation. LOL. You can call something a no-gun place, but if you don't prosecute Criminals and constantly bend over backwards to give them chance after chance, then that's what Chicagoans are voting for. I do not sympathize with them, they accept it there. However if there was a Rudy Giuliani/Singapore type cleanup in a city like Chicago, watch how quickly gun violence numbers plummet.
So the real question is who really wants to solve the issue, and who just wants to use it as a weapon? (Democrats)

Category 2 is the school shootings categories. Obviously not gang-bangers or career criminals, they are generally troubled kids as the overall top theme. The secondary theme is when a kid is determined to be trouble, the authorities and school systems in particular do not want to classify the kids as "bad" or put them in a rehabilitation track. School institutions have shown they do not want to discipline for anything. Take a look and guess at the discipline levels of schools on kids today vs 5 yrs ago, 10 years ago, and so forth. Otherwise it's just constant Law & Order episodes of the teachers being afraid to say anything, the nurse and school psychologist passing the buck, the District passing the buck
Bottom line, just like Category 1....when there is a bad apple, it must be dealt with, and handled: HARD.

On the topic of crime involving guns, take a look at the stats of crime with illegal guns vs registered guns. Overwhelmingly the crime is with unregistered, illegal, so taking the legal ones away is not moving the needle. Bad people arent interested in registering their weapons or following any laws for that matter.

I don’t think it makes it right at all. I think it’s sad. I was picking up on what you were saying at the end of your initial post when you mentioned it felt like it was already fading. I was just expanding upon that and why I think it is becoming that way. No offense was meant.

None taken. I think you were correct. And it is sad.

I’m sure this will get me in trouble but we have a member of Congress who described 9-11 as “some people did something”. We must never forget. If we so, the peril is that it will happen again.

No way. Why would they play Uconn, Prov, Nova, Gtown etc? Seems there are schools they will always play there, and then a subset who it depends on how they are projected, scheduling conflicts and what the draw might be. Fear of our crowd size at MSG ain’t it. Big East tourney game just one example of that

Disagree. She didn’t win on anything that’s going to make lives better. Trump lost on stupid comments. As I’ve said the American people deserve a third debate. But people are going to have 7 weeks of seeing their grocery bill and that will have more of an impact than cats and dogs.

That’s fine. They were wrong. Her website confirmed that if there was any confusion, which there should t have been considering it was the expansion of the 5k deduction and there is no 5k credit.

Hope she says that no taxes on overtime is absurd, because that’s absurd.

I prefer that over no tax on tips. People are lazy today. It’s actually an opportunity for hard workers to get ahead. Not saying it’s great but I respect that more than no tax on tips. It’s a gift to the hard working men and women who are sick of taking care of those who don’t work and live off the government. The issue with it is can someone who works 40 hours at $40 an hour convince their employer to call it 60 hours at a lower rate.
