			<description>the pirate state&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;The IRS is now permanently banned from auditing Trump. His family. His companies. His tax returns.&#60;br /&#62;No more audits. No more reviews. No more claims. Forever.&#60;br /&#62;The President legally shielded his own finances. &#60;br /&#62;From the only agency with the power to examine them.&#60;br /&#62;Absolute corruption and America just sits by and allows it to happen.</description>

Eileen Laubacher. &#60;b&#62;She’s a Democrat challenging incumbent GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert in the 4th Congressional District.&#60;/b&#62; She raised over $2.1 million in her bid to flip the state’s reddest district. More than $1.4 million came from small donors (including me). Laubacher has almost $3.1 million cash on hand.&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;Although she faces long odds in the state’s reddest seat, Democrat Eileen Laubacher, the retired Navy rear admiral and former National Security Council official running against Boebert, raised more than $2.1 million during the three-month period that ended March 31, bringing her total since announcing to nearly $8.5 million. She finished the quarter with nearly $3.1 million in cash on hand.&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;Boebert, the state’s senior elected Republican, brought in just $90,000 for the quarter and finished with $160,000 in the bank.&#60;/i&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/04/23/boebert-challenger-eileen-laubacher-republican-gabe-evans-lead-colorados-quarterly-house-fundraising/&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/04/23/boebert-challenger-eileen-laubacher-republican-gabe-evans-lead-colorados-quarterly-house-fundraising/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;Here&#39;s some propaganda:&#60;br /&#62;Multimedia File Viewing is not available on RSS Feeds!! &#160;You need to &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?action=login;sesredir=num~1779282306&#34;&#62;&#60;img src=&#34;http://www.ozpolitic.com/yabbfiles/Buttons/English/login.png&#34; alt=&#34;Login&#34; title=&#34;Login&#34; border=&#34;0&#34; /&#62;&#60;/a&#62; or &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?action=register&#34;&#62;&#60;img src=&#34;http://www.ozpolitic.com/yabbfiles/Buttons/English/register.png&#34; alt=&#34;Register&#34; title=&#34;Register&#34; border=&#34;0&#34; /&#62;&#60;/a&#62; !!</description>

Because they only sometimes manage to get wages increased?&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62; &#60;b&#62;Quote:&#60;/b&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;div&#62;I want to turn you into a union organizer -&#60;br /&#62;I want you to walk on to a building site and say&#60;br /&#62;with a strong Yorkshire accent -&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;it&#39;s the right of every man to withdraw his labor. &#60;/div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;br /&#62;Nothing is stopping them from resigning.

Why do unions &#34;only sometimes&#34; cause unemployment? Are you trying to say that whether they cause it depends on whether their actions are fair?</description>
