“China is on track to pass us economically, geopolitically, even militarily. And yet we cannot hide from that fact, and lull ourselves into complacency.

“The actual figures [are] a little frightening,” Romney said, noting that even though the United States vastly outspends the rest of the world on its military, only 15 percent of that money goes to equipment procurement, with the vast majority going to veterans’ salaries, housing and benefits.

“Our total military budget is $750 billion,” Romney said.

“Neither party is willing to discuss an approach to solving this problem with us by the way as you know, it all stems from the fact that our entitlements which are two-thirds of spending are going faster than our economy. But neither political party or wants even talk about doing anything about entitlements.”

Romney expressed concern that both parties are dropping the ball on climate change too, noting many of his Republican colleagues are unserious about global warming. And on the other hand, he said “I'm afraid the Democratic Party on the other hand has proposed if you will virtue signaling baby steps that would have the combined effect of being expensive and ineffective.”

Romney also expressed concern about the potential impacts of artificial intelligence.

He pointed to a report that said “of the people who are developing AI on average, they believe there's a 10% chance the AI being developed will eliminate humanity.”

“You would think was something of that scale is a threat that Washington would be working to find ways to work with others around the world to make sure that something of that nature doesn't occur.”

That’s where journalists come in.

“So, if democracy dies in darkness, we're counting on you,” Romney said.

“And those that are being honored tonight and have shown us the way to help shed the light of truth on our public electorate.”

Gavin Newsom Confronts Sean Hannity on Blue States Subsidizing Red States

Newsom: 71% of the GDP in America are blue counties. Progressive policies. Seven of the top ten dependent states are your states. We’re subsidizing your states because of your policies

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently confronted Fox News host Sean Hannity on the relative economic contributions made to the United States by red states and blue states.

In a newly released portion of the interview shared on Friday, Newsom also confronted Hannity on the economic discrepancies between Democrat-led states and Republican-led states, saying that the former make up a stronger portion of the U.S. economy, effectively "subsidizing" the latter. This exchange came after the Fox News host suggested that companies like Tesla were leaving California due to its higher corporate taxes.

"This is on its way to becoming the fourth-largest economy in the world. What are you arguing for? Mississippi's economic policy?" Newsom asked in response to Hannity's claim. "Literally, that's what you're arguing for. The great Sam Brownback's Kansas policy? It was a debacle, no economic growth. Seventy-one percent of the GDP in America are [in] blue counties, progressive policies. Seventy-one percent of the country's wealth. Seven of the top 10 dependent states are your states. We're subsidizing your states, Sean, because of your policies."

Talk about a smack down. Talk about a definite talking point in the election. This one statement shuts down any republican complaining about the economy. And you can bet the democrats heard Newsom say it.

And this fact shows the title of the thread is right on comrade signym. The problem you have comrade is you don't deal in facts, only bullshit lies.

Like I've been saying, another 5 year investigation for nothing. Millions of dollars spent to find pretty much nothing. When you think of all the GOP talking points over the years, and even still today, to detract away from Trumps indiscretions, you have to go, wow, what morons. What incompatent fools.

Does FBI Have Evidence That Joe Biden Received $5M Bribe from Burisma Exec?

There is no evidence to suggest that Joe Biden, or the Biden family, received money in exchange for political actions. That fact remains unchanged despite the inconsistent and logically incongruous assertions of evidence presented by both Grassley and Comer, as well as Giuliani.
