the IRS doesn't allocate where the funds go

Of course, it’s not that as in the case of a pickpocket for example. Everyone knew what I meant. Like I’ve always said my friend, you mist be a blast at parties!

And it is beyond deceptive with the language they’re using, it’s lying. The language Puddin has used and the media has repeated verbatim without challenging him, is that he is canceling student debt. That’s a purposely chosen word, because it gives the impression that it’s canceled and nobody is paying anything, but of course, that isn’t true. You and I are paying. The financial institutions are being made whole, the colleges and universities have already been made whole, the students in theory got an education and were made whole, I’m the one who gets screwed.

Below is what is REALLY happening to the dollar you worked for.

“… $350 million of taxpayer money to “help local communities around the country better manage the costs of noncitizen arrivals in their communities.” The award is for illegal aliens “provisionally released from DHS custody pending the outcome of their immigration court proceedings.” It’s the first allocation from a new $800 million slush fund for illegal aliens created by the $1.7 trillion Fiscal Year 2023 omnibus spending bill, which President Biden signed December 29 while vacationing at taxpayer expense in the Virgin Islands. Per guidance cited in the department’s press release, the latest grant may fund month-long hotel stays and plane tickets up to $700 per illegal alien, among other things. …”

 They can but they haven't.  It's well known, and from what I have seen not denied, that funds from the US government are from US tax dollars.  The term "grants" and only the term "grants" with the exemption of all other known words, used specifically in the context of this thread in this forum, excluding all other known forums: the words "grant" or "grants" or other synonymous words indicating the same meaning in identical context and identical context alone, does not require the use of US government funds  (tax dollars) as some "grants" can come exclusively and only from the private sector.  Typically however they are from the US government.


 


"...  It's a legal, and poor use of funds.  ..."

Only Legal if Biden does it.

If Trump did it, it would be Illegal.


 Factually no, but from an opinion point of view, yes.  People will regularly decide how legal something is by who they like as POTUS than using actual US law.  I don't care who the POTUS is when I look at law, this thread is a good example of that.

 For that matter I have presented Obama era tax policy as Trump policy just to be told Trump is setting things right and Obama was screwing things up.  I have also presented Trump tax policy as Biden policy just to be told Trump was working for the rich and Biden "would never do that".  This outcome is very consistent.

“A suspect in the slaying of a Georgia nursing student — and his brother — reportedly entered the country illegally from Venezuela.

CBS News, citing a statement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reported Jose Ibarra, 26, was arrested by Customs and Border Protection on Sept. 8, 2022, after he unlawfully entered the United States near El Paso, Texas.

He was released by border officials pending a review of his immigration case, ICE said.

According to the statement, Ibarra was then arrested a little over a year later, on Sept. 14, 2023, by New York Police Department officers — charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than age 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.

The statement did not elaborate on the details of the alleged crimes, CBS reported, adding the NYPD said it has no record of an arrest of Ibarra.

Ibarra was arrested again Friday in connection with the slaying of Laken Hope Riley, 22, after her body was discovered in a wooded area on the Athens campus of the University of Georgia.”

Darn shame this woman was sacrificed for the Democratic Party’s get out the vote program.

This case will be interesting.
Will the UL, Progressive, FD Sprinkling, DFI’s Socialists prevail ?

“… On Jan. 30, Kelly was eating lunch with his wife when he heard a single gunshot and saw his horse get spooked and run away at full speed, according to court documents. Kelly saw a group of men, armed with AK-47s, moving through the trees on his property.

The men donned khakis and camouflage clothing and carried large backpacks, according to the 13-page motion Larkin filed on Feb. 9. Kelly’s home is roughly a mile and a half north of the U.S.-Mexico border and about 8 miles east of Nogales.

Kelly called the U.S. Border Patrol’s ranch liaison, who is responsible for helping ranchers on the borderlands, and told his wife to stay silent, inside and away from the windows so as not to draw the attention of the men.
Kelly walked onto his porch and saw the leader of the group point an AK-47 at him, the motion read.

Kelly subsequently fired several warning shots above the heads of the armed men before they scattered into the desert surrounding his property, according to the motion.

Border Patrol agents and Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies arrived at Kelly’s property and searched for the group but did not find anyone.

Authorities documented the incident and left. As the sun was setting that day, Kelly went to his pastures to check on his horse as he worried it may have been injured during the incident. After seeing to his horse, Kelly noticed that his dogs were focused on something on the ground near a mesquite tree. “Mr. Kelly approached his dogs, and observed a body lying face down in the grass,” the motion read.

Kelly was “alarmed” by the discovery and put a lit flashlight on the ground to be able to find the body again, according to the motion. He then called the Border Patrol ranch liaison again to report the discovery and request assistance.

The body was that of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea, 48, of Nogales, Sonora. Cuen Buitimea was identified by a Mexican voter registration card he carried.
Cuen Buitimea’s body was found about 100 yards to 150 yards from Kelly’s home with one visible gunshot wound, according to reporting from Nogales International. No weapon or backpack was found on or near Cuen Buitimea, according to the motion.

Cuen Buitimea was wearing tactical boots and had a radio. Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies found the body shortly before 6:30 p.m.

Authorities collected two assault-style rifles from Kelly’s home to determine if either had been used in the shooting. Details surrounding Cuen Buitimea’s death remain largely unclear. The time of death and the type of bullet that killed him have not been made public. …”

“…Kimberly Hunley, chief deputy Santa Cruz County Attorney, alleged that George Alan Kelly shot the unarmed man in an “unprovoked attack” during her remarks at a court hearing at Nogales Justice Court.

Details surrounding Cuen Buitimea’s death remain largely unclear. The time of death and the type of bullet that killed him have not been made public.
The Sheriff's Office said that Kelly, 75, committed aggravated assault using “a rifle, a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument” against two additional victims on Jan. 30, according to the complaint. The two additional victims are only identified by their initials in the complaint. 

Both victims have come forward and provided their statements, Hunley said. There were at least eight people in the group that Kelly encountered on Jan. 30 at his Kino Springs area ranch, according to Hunley. 

Kelly’s attorney, Brenna Larkin, called the credibility of the state’s witnesses into question during her remarks, suggesting that they may have been influenced by drug traffickers. Larkin entered a plea of not guilty on Kelly’s behalf for the two additional charges of aggravated assault.

“Testimony is something that is bought and sold by drug traffickers, the same way that drugs and people are bought and sold,” Larkin said during her remarks.

Larkin criticized the investigation
of the case for charging Kelly
before all the details of the case
had been investigated.  …”
