What do I need to earn every year in salary? Before tax

Give a figure and please explain how you arrived to that figure.

I am speaking in US dollars

For the USA what is the largest threat China, Russia, or Mexican drug cartels?

China:
1: Steals our intellectual property
2: Building a navy to control the western pacific.

Russia:
1: Invaded the Ukraine.

The Mexican Drug cartels:
1: Practically control much of northern Mexico right on our border.

2: Use the above mentioned territory actively work to create and smuggle fentanyl across the border killing 10s of thousands of American every year.

3: Their armed wing is increasingly becoming a threat to the border towns and states on their smuggling routes.

We have men shamed for being men and wanting to fulfil their masculine roll.
It seems everything is toxically masculine. It seems only women are glorified for achieving in society.

Testosterone is steadily declining in men

Personally,

I think this is part of some evil plan to weaken us and make men and women the exact same to control us.

"Several gifts given by foreign countries to Donald J. Trump during his presidency are unaccounted for in government records, according to a report released on Friday by Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which detailed ways in which the Trump White House had failed to follow the law in how it handled gifts."

Trump had previously said that gifts received during his tenure in office belonged to him and not the government, contrary to the law. Multiple items are now missing.

Trump and members of his family failed to disclose more than 100 gifts worth nearly $300,000 that they received from foreign governments during his presidency, according to a report House Oversight and Accountability Committee Democrats released on Friday.

Im not talking about in terms of the sentence, but do you agree with lynch mob justice for these types of offenders

Personally, whatever their political leanings, I think it's unacceptable to use the term as an insult.

Cuz…America ain’t got it. We can go on and on about freedoms and capitalism, but after tons of polling…all of Europe is Happier. With their socialized medicine, fewer prisons and harsher gun policies.

I could show a lot of other stats, like infant mortality rates, ease of economic mobility…etc. Funny how Democratic Socialism has more “American values” than America.

It's sad we got to the point, where if someone has different political views then you, instead of trying to understand and why they have the views they have, we resort to cheap attacks and name calling. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of attacking others with different political views. If you want to persuade someone to agree with your views, you don't straight up attack them as an evil person, you try and understand their views and why they have them, then try to convince them why your view is better. If they still don't agree with your views after valid arguments, then the best you can do is respect their views and move on, attacking them will not help you in convincing other's your view (s) is/are better or the very least respect your view (s).

Senate takes first step in repealing Iraq War authorizations

The Senate took a first step Thursday toward repealing two measures that give open-ended approval for military action in Iraq, pushing to end that authority as the United States marks the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War.

Senators voted 68-27 to move forward on legislation that would repeal the 2002 measure that greenlighted that March 2003 invasion of Iraq and also a 1991 measure that sanctioned the U. S.-led Gulf War to expel Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s forces from Kuwait. Nineteen Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the repeal.

The bipartisan effort comes as lawmakers in both parties are increasingly seeking to claw back congressional powers over U. S. military strikes and deployments, arguing that the war authorizations are no longer necessary and subject to misuse if they are left on the books. President Joe Biden has backed the push, and the White House issued a statement Thursday in support.

“Repeal of these authorizations would have no impact on current U. S. military operations and would support this administration’s commitment to a strong and comprehensive relationship with our Iraqi partners,” the White House said.

DeSantis won’t win, right? He’s taking on Disney and now Hyatt over really nonessential issues. They are now Demcrat businesses. So thanks, I guess.

Minnesota GOP State Sen. Votes Against Free School Lunch, Says He's Never Met Hungry Kids

Minnesota kids will soon get free school lunches across the state, no thanks to a Republican state senator who voted against the bill because he said he’s never met a hungry kid in his state.

“I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry,” Republican state Sen. Steve Drazkowski said Tuesday on the Senate floor in St. Paul before voting against the legislation. “I have yet to meet a person in Minnesota that says they don’t have access to enough food to eat.”

Approximately 1 in 6 children in Minnesota are food insecure, meaning they don’t know where or when their next meal will be available, according to a fact sheet from anti-hunger groups in support of the bill.
“Being hungry makes learning almost impossible,” state Sen. Heather Gustafson, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, said on the Senate floor. “Let’s feed the kids.”

During his arguments, Drazkowski called the proposed program “pure socialism.”
“Now, I should say that hunger is a relative term,” Drazkowski added. “I had a cereal bar for breakfast. I guess I’m hungry now.”
If Drazkowski wanted to find one of those hungry children he claims to have “yet to meet,” he could check the very county he represents. In Wabasha County, more than 8% of kids lived in poverty in 2021, up from about 7% the previous year, according to the Federal Reserve of Economic Data.
