Legit question.

If border enforcement is the answer perhaps you'd like to explain why the 2013 Immigration Reform bill that passed the Senate, which provided for hundreds of millions of dollars for enhanced border security, was blocked by the Freedom Caucus in the House.

 

And yet.............http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...-support-ban-on-assault-weapons.........which is what the thread is about.

 

Your point, show me the bill then I may be able to tell you.

 

The link must be a M-16A1 and had a stoppage.

They did that a lot during the worse times.

 

It's the leftist news that constantly has to retract and fire and suspend and force to resign. FOX has a much better record for accurate reporting so the misinformed are obviously on the left.

 

"After the release of the November jobs report, the U.S. has added 1.7 million total jobs since Donald J. Trump took the oath of office. The median jobs growth of 208,000 per month is the strongest for a president since Trump’s wedding guest Bill Clinton was in office."

DACA proposition
the tough stance on NOKO which is leading to talks
the increased 401K accounts
Toyota? or some foreign auto company building a brand new plant in the southeast, investing I forget how many billion dollars
the loss of the penalty for not having health insurance
the quick disposal of ISIS in the Middle East through intensive bombing
the movement in Israel concerning what to do about the PLO and the reduction in deficit spending concerning them
the budget, though costing 1T over 10 years, has been reduced by 9T spent by the O'bummer admin budget
the talks on changing immigration to protect the average New Yorker riding a bicycle

That's a start. I think everyone can agree those are at least partly good. Maybe not.

 

Doesn't matter, we are not ruled by the popular vote (thank fully), we are ruled by representatives. So what's your point?

 

And yet research shows Faux viewers are the most misinformed.
You might also want to consider something else. Credible journalists make corrections when their stories prove to be inaccurate. If Faux were to do so, or suspend their talking heads each time they reported a lie, there would be no Faux.

"On Monday, lawyers for Fox News must submit court filings addressing how the network mishandled a story about the unsolved killing of a young Democratic Party staffer named Seth Rich. Assuming Fox answers those questions in any detail, it would be the first time the network has done so publicly. Fox News was compelled to retract the story, which involved presidential politics, international intrigue and a man's murder. When a story of this scale crumbles, most news organizations feel obligated to explain what happened and why. Not so far at Fox, which stands apart journalistically from its competitors in many ways. Unlike the other networks or major newspapers, for example, Fox has no office or executive dedicated to standards and practices. That falls within the larger portfolio of the network's general counsel, Dianne Brandi.

And that gap is reflected in the response to the Rich story as well. In the four months since its retraction, Fox News has not apologized for what it reported. Nor has it explained what went wrong. So let's try to derive our own lessons about what happened — not as a legal matter, but as a journalistic one.

Misinformed according to who?

 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/...c-look-into-the-fox-news-effect/#5617549012ab

 

That's a very questionable survey. How can people be identified a Fox watchers or CNN watchers or whatever? Everybody goes to several different news sources.

Also, you said conservative voters in general are less informed. There is no evidence of that. Misinformed about what?

 

If that's what you think ........... Why do you live here ?

 

Still having a hard time seeing this as anything but anti Fox propaganda. I check out a number of news sources daily as I'm sure most people do. Just because Fox is one of them is supposed to make me less informed??

The article mentions "Fox's core viewers". How are they defined? Are they people who watch nothing but Fox? I don't recommend relying on an one source of news. Its all spun one way or another so one needs to get all sides.

This is a reply to Lee Atwater above.

Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013

Well it was a Democratic Bill. Vetoed by the Republicans ...the party of no

It would have increased border security by adding up to 40,000 border patrol agents. It also advances talent-based immigration through a points-based immigration system. New visas have been proposed in this legislation, including a visa for entrepreneurs and a W visa for lower skilled workers.[4] It also proposes new restrictions on H1B visa program to prevent its abuse and additional visas/green-cards for students with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees from U.S. institutions

 

Thanks for the help Chuck.

Fake News !!
On average, employers have added 170,000 jobs in each of the 10 months since Trump took office. That's slightly below the 196,000 per month pace during the comparable period in 2016, under President Obama. If you throw out September of this year, when job gains were depressed by hurricanes, Trump's monthly average is closer to Obama's, at 185,000, but the change in administrations doesn't appear to have had much effect on the overall job market.

 

Using NPR to bash FOX? Classic!

 

Because enough of us are not the above mentioned lazy misinformed losers.

 

More and better jobs and full time jobs instead of part time jobs. Thanks Trump. Wait until tax cuts take effect. You ain't seen nothin yet.

 

Unless you can substantively rebut the information in the PBS piece your reply is worthless.

 

Prove it. Because so far all we are seeing is an acceleration of conditions from when Obama was prez, boosted by the tax bill that adds $1.3T to the national debt. Any nitwit can get manufacturing jobs to come back by giving corporate tax breaks at the expense of the national debt.

Here in Kansas the party is very strong on 2nd amendments rights, lowering taxes, strong military, and merit based federal programs. Not saying the achieve those goals but it is what they run on.

 

Less power to the Federal government and more power to local governments is fairly uniformly popular everywhere as a principle.

Enforcement of the Federal Bill Of Rights upon the States, Counties, and Cities is also uniformly popular everywhere as a principle as well.

Lower taxes for all is also uniformly popular everywhere as well. However when taxes go up mostly on the working class and the middle class, while the rich see a massive tax cut, this is NOT uniformly popular. It is strictly a GOP thing.

Strong national defense is uniformly popular everywhere also, even though the DEM's tend to cut national defense while paying lip service to a strong national defense.

The war on hard drugs is fairly popular across the board too, although the GOP seems to hate weed while the DEM's mostly smoke it.

How is this for a start ?!
