No, later than that. I lost my middle class status when I lost my 3/4 paid for house, in 1990's I was still in school. I graduated in 2000

Well until this is verified not to be some sort of scam of which there are many I reserve the right to call shenanigans.
I am sure it is a real number and I am sure if you call it someone will answer.
Question is, will the person on the other end be anything like those damn people that call my house every week telling me windows contacted them because I have errors.
I really hate those guys. I have tried everything from wasting their time, telling them I use apple to cussing them out and still at least once a week they call with the same crappy line.
You have a valid point and usually I would side with your skepticism. However, as I already noted in this thread, there are way too many things that lead to this whole "humanitarian crisis" as being fabricated by our current POTUS.
The adds for escorts etc etc.........were the ads on the fbo.gov website posted in January fabricated as well?

I don't know but let me ask have you ever seen secret shopper adds in all manner of media?
Is this add on fbo.gov? To be honest I have never looked on fbo.gov so I have no idea what they post.
It takes a bit more than a picture of a newspaper add for me to believe it s real. I hope more information on this comes out.

Ben Swann I like, he seems like a cool dude. One thing that irks me so much, everytime I seem to find a good libertarian type page, it gets overrun by rightwing religious nutjobs. So disheartening. Ben Swann, reason magazine and Dennis Micheal Lynch are my most recent disappointments. Not due to them, but their rightwinger fans drowning out everyone else. And also them I guess, not telling the rightwingers embarrassed by the republican's recent failures, and pretending to be libertarians to piss off. Also this is facebook pages I am talking about.

I get it! Anyone can spoof some BS by paying for something to put in a newspaper add!
However! Ben Swann is one of the few people I consider a real journalist.
WOW! I just searched for the link to the actual site and it has disappeared! However, here is a screenshot as to their add for escorts.

I get it and I am not claiming to know if it is BS or not. I am skeptical by nature but once something has met my criteria for evidence then I will point to it as fact. Rarely have I been wrong when calling something fact because of that.
I am glad you showed the escort service thing I was thinking it was something entirely different. Government + escort service...err..well..I was thinking you were saying female escorts. I am pretty sure they do that as well and I had thought someone screwed up and placed an add.
I don't really pay attention to ll the shenanigans in congress anymore. They all suck as far as I am concerned.
Even though this is Ben Swann which does give it a bit of credibility I am still cautious. Ben Swann has printed retractions before where they got the story wrong. Trying to stay on the edge of news can have its pitfalls. I like that he does retract statements or stories when needed.
A side note: I got rid of cable going on two years now which means no 24 hr cable news for me as well. Before that I barely watched anyway but I notice immigration is always an issue close to elections but as soon as they are over so is the issue for another year and some months till talk of the next elections come up. I think the world would be a better place without cable it would definitely be better without cable news.
