US gives Israel more than they give any other country. Do you have a link for your claim? Is the US surpassing Egypt?

Israel has been getting US foreign aid since 1948. There are other countries that have received foreign aid temporarily, but over time Israel has gotten the lion's share of US foreign aid.

"It wasn't Trump who let illegal alien gang-bangers into the country. That was Border Czar Kamala Harris".

3 days ago — Former President Donald Trump said during Tuesday night's debate that he had "concepts" for a health care plan but did not offer specifics.

This may come as a shock to you, but the reason healthcare costs are out of control is government interference. The solution is NOT more government.

Because Democrats wouldn't drop a measly $5 billion on the wall. How much has housing and feeding and medical care for all the illegals Democrats let in cost the American taxpayer? Far more than $5 billion.

Even if reforms can be instituted to increase competition in the United States insulin market, the current market control of the Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, and Eli Lilly—the ‘Big Three’—may prevent successful entry of new products and their ability to compete.

The massive market control of the Big Three serves as a practical barrier to entry, and the potential for anticompetitive conduct magnifies this risk.
The Big Three have been accused of anticompetitive conduct in the past, and a new competitor could elicit anticompetitive tactics in response.

In other countries, the Big Three have already taken advantage of their dominant market position to price out other competitors. Novo Nordisk, for example, has priced out competitors in India.
In the event of a new market entrant in the United States, the Big Three could offer substantially cheaper prices for their insulin products, pricing competitors out of the market and protecting the existing oligopoly.

High prices for health care services is a well-known aspect of the US health care system. International comparisons reveal US prices that are many times higher than charged in European and other high-income countries for the vast majority of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

For example, outpatient computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans are priced 4 to 5 times higher in the United States than in the Netherlands and Switzerland. Such price differences are even greater for hospital-based care.

The government.

I agree, the government should step in. and create a true free market.

Armed Venezuelan Gangs Steal Oil, Copper Wire, Assault Workers at Texas Oil Field​

Armed Venezuelan gang memebers are stealing oil, copper wire, diesel fuel and catalyst elements from Texas oil fields in West Texas, according to a memo issued to employees.

According to the memo obtained by LibsofTikTok, a Texas-based oil company issued a memo to employees warning them about security concerns from violent migrant gangs.

Venezuelan gang members are using vehicles to run workers and witnesses off the road as they steal oil and diesel fuel.

Per the memo:


Earlier this year it was reported that Venezuelan gangs were terrorizing oil workers across the Permian Basin in West Texas.

However, the Biden-Harris Regime is doing nothing is to stop them.

Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members are also taking over apartment complexes in Dallas, Aurora, Colorado and New York and the FBI is doing absolutely nothing to stop them.

Untrue.
