Are we still in the government shutdown? I haven't noticed and don't really care. As a "small L libertarian", the less government, the better.
PJMedia asks the rhetorical question, "How many illegal aliens are drawing food stamps?" For me, the answer is that one is too many. The migrants I know, all of them legal, are hardworking souls that pay their own way. If you are coming to the US to mooch, then you are in the wrong place. Go home and mooch.
I understand that some people want to keep the gravy train rolling, but eventually you run out of other people's money. And every tax dollar that the government squanders is other people's money. Now, I understand that two federal court judges are talking with Trump about how to get the money flowing. It seems that the US Dept of Agriculture has some $5 Billion set aside for natural disasters. This is not a natural disaster. This is Democrat stubbornness. They can end it today by voting to end it.
On a more personal and local note, Belle wants me to make my stuffed chimichangas for lunch today. She has a list and will soon be on her way to the grocers.

I saw someone say that if the courts can require Trump to put out food stamps, they can require the Senate to be sequestered until they make a deal.
As I understand it, all spending MUST originate in the House - judges can't require him to spend money they haven't authorized. That is why he didn't just do what two judges asked; it would break the law.
