Seeks in states only abortion laws that permit abortion for any season up to a certain time (half way through? I can’t say) and after that only to save the life of the mother
No chickenhawks
End foreign war support
Pathway to citizenship for tax paying illegal aliens here for five or more years and no criminal record
Tight borders - reasonable pathway to citizenship for worthwhile legal immigrants
Smart tariffs
Let the free market decide energy issues and support more small nuclear power plants
Term limits

Enforcing a max $3M budget for a presidential campaign and $750K max budget for Senate House or statewide office campaign
Continue DOGE and see if it produces results
Increase military compensation
Upgrade benefits for current veterans
No social security or Medicare cuts affecting anyone over 50

THINK ABOUT THAT. THE LIBERALS THST DECIDED ROE V WAD COULD HAVE DECIDED THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLACE IN ABORTIONS AT ALL PERIOD. THE FACT THAT THE LIBERAL COURT PLACED IN EFFECT A SET OF RULES STARTED THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF ENDING IT WHICH THEY EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN SMART AND DONE THAT.

No chickenhawks
DISAGREE - national security is paramount

DIFFERENT THING. CHICKENHAWKS AND RINOS TALK A BIG AGGRESSIVE GAME AND DO NOTHING EXCEPT MEDDLE AND DITHER. THERE IS NO REASON TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY WAR UNLESS THE ONLY GOAL IS TO WIN. TIME HAS PROVEN RINOS AND CHICKENHAWK DIMS ARE ONE AND THE SAME. TEDDY R HAD IT RIGHT. CARRY A BIG STICK AND ONLY USE IT WHEN YOU MEAN IT.

End foreign war support
DISAGREE - that depends on the war SEE ABOVE

Pathway to citizenship for tax paying illegal aliens here for five or more years and no criminal record
AGREE - but how does that happen if they're all deported? CRIMINALS ARE BEING DEPORTED. READ MY QUALIFIERS.

Tight borders - reasonable pathway to citizenship...
AGREE

...for worthwhile legal immigrants
What does that mean? IT MEANS THEY WILL BE PATRIOTIC CONTRIBUTING US CITIZENS.

Smart tariffs
What does that mean? - I favor revoking PTNR for China APPLIED CORRECTLY. CHINA HIGH. CANADA LOW. CASE BY CASE BASIS DEPENDING IF AND HOW A COUNTRY IS SCREWING US.

Let the free market decide energy issues and support more small nuclear power plants
What about the "edge" that big oil has because of PAST subsidies? AT THAT POINT ALL HAVE SUBSIDIES. WE ALL KNOW SMALL SAFE NUCLEAR IS BEST.

Go back to original IRA distribution rules for non spouse beneficiaries
Explain please.

PRIOR TO THE 2022 FALSELY TITLED SECURE ACT A NON SPOUSE BENEFICIARY COULD SPREAD TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OVER THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY. NOW THE MAX TIME IS TEN YEARS. SO WE FUNDED IRAS UNDER ONE SET IF RULES THEN DURING BIDEN TIME THE RULES WERE CHANGED AND SCREWED ALL OF US.

Voter ID and same rules nationwide for federal elections. Brazil has that and gets final results two hours after polls close
AGREE - except for poll closing times and no cost for photo ID; we have more time zones than Brazil

Move towards a consumption tax
