    Republican plans to slash Social Security and Medicare grow clearer

    Senate clinches deal to advance $1.7T government funding bill

    Yes. The Government publishes the numbers. Trump's last omnibus budget was 1.4 trillion. Biden's is 1.7 trillion. Trump's last omnibus budget was passed within a Consolidated Bill (H.R. 133) that also included $900 billion in COVID relief. It was not passed as a standalone Bill.

    Video Editing

    Adobe can be purchased outright or as a subscription. The advantage of a subscription is that your software is always at the latest version. That is not enough of an advantage for me, I just pay the one-time licenses and upgrade a few years down the road if I feel like it. But in either...

    Decision Time. Do I go with Sony, LG or Samsung?

    We have all three, with the smallest being 65". You can't go wrong with any of them. The LG is in the bedroom because it is curved and gives the best view from anywhere in the room without having to tilt it. The Samsung is in the Family room because it is the only one we can watch with the...

    How Republicans are winning over Hispanic voters in Texas: 'Democrat policies are failing them'

    Being Latino (Puerto Rican), I grew up with certain rules: Latino = Catholic + Democrat. It was not up for discussion or debate. Boy have things changed. I still remember how my mother clutched her pearls and sighed "Oh, Meho" when I announced that I was voting for Reagan. Voting for a...

    Bernie calls for vote on BBB, and smaller bill if needed. He's right.
