That was in 2000. If you had been saving 12% for the past 26 years earning compounding interest, you’d be sitting on a small fortune for your retirement by now.

Sounds nice, but if everyone has a fortune, then no one has a fortune.

Im being slightly facetious, but it would be interesting if we could determine the inflationary impact of having a much larger number of retired millionaires.

Is your found explanation accurate?

Watch the video footage and decide for yourself.

To be fair, the news article didn't really flesh that out.

I agree, I just think its funny that posters were assuming there was a perfectly logical, historically accurate reason to display confederate symbols. Took me 3 seconds to find the video.

I love how everyone is just assuming it was some historically accurate video referencing the Confederacy.

It wasn't. As shown in the video link, It was a weird error, and no one is stepping up to claim responsibility.

Spectrum News story

It wasn't even a video. There were multiple video boards displaying the North Carolina state flag. The Flag then morphed into something that looked like the old Georgia state flag: The State seal on the left side of the flag, and the Rebel battle flag on the right side.

This has never been the official NC State flag, but I dont know enough about NC history to know if something like it was ever used. But there was no reason for the video boards to display it.

The graphic has been removed, and Im sure we will hear more about it.

Now, is this something so terrible that Mt. Olive needs to take their pickle jars and go home? Probably not. Plus, MT. Oliver is bringing attention to the incident, which could have been quietly cleaned up.

Or...maybe the were getting pressure on social media?

if you are here illegally you can never have the intent to live indefinitely as well as the other requirement for status

---

You can absolutely have that intent. You might get caught and be unable to fulfill that intent, but that doesn't prevent you from being a resident of the state.

Most illegal immigrants are considered residents of the state where they live. They are counted in the US census. They pay state taxes, including income tax. Their children attend public schools, and do not pay out of state tuition if they go to college.

Their illegal status should prevent them from receiving some benefits of state residency, but they are considered residents.

"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens..."

You are leaving off the rest of his sentence.

The quote clearly says: "This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of anbassadors or foreign ministers"

He wasn't saying the amendment excluded ALL foreigners and aliens. He clearly said it excluded foreigners who were family members of ambassadors. The children of other "foreigners, aliens" were included as citizens.

It's sad that his dramatic emotional-partisan shift at the end of his storied career is going to define so much of his legacy.

Would you prefer he be remembered as the Silent Justice, who never spoke in oral argument and just signed his name onto Scalia's opinions?

The joke is on Sortor; the SAVE America Act doesn't address this issue. Unless there was an amendment Im not aware of, which is possible.

When the democrats show up with a truck full of ballots, show up with an even bigger truck with more ballots.

Have you ever heard of a US election where the results were determined by mail-in ballots received after election day?

I mean, this doesn't seem like much of a loophole. If there is a conspiracy to create enough fake mail-in ballots to change an election, why would they need to rely on the ballots coming in late?

Think about what the conspiracy entails: You need names on the voter rolls, you need fake applications for mail-in ballots, and then you need the fake ballots themselves, preferably with matching signatures.

Thats a lot of pre-election day work right there. It doesnt seem like they need to rely on a claim the ballots were post marked on time but received late.

Now show us where it says pardons must be signed.
