I bought a bird feeder. I hung
it on my back porch and filled
it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table ..
Everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And others birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. I cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be ..... Quiet, serene....a
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
our government gives out
free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care and free
education, and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the
tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for
free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by an emergency room doctor;
your child's second grade class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
'press one ' to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than 'Old Glory' are
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it's time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.

It's Article 4, Section 4, Clause 2 of the constitution.

and [the United States] shall protect each of them [the States] against Invasion

FJB has failed, along with congress.  They all need to be removed from office.

In 1968-69 I worked at an evergreen nursery. Every summer a group of migrants came to the nursery and worked through the summer and then went back to Mexico for the winter. The nursery actually had housing for them.

There is such a thing as temporary work visas. Nothing wrong with that. Other than the competition for wages. Americans demand higher wages and migrants accept less, which is a large part of the problem.  This is due to asymmetry in the two economies.  Minimum wage laws in the U.S., differentials in standard of living, cost of living, and so on.

The American consumer demands low prices, putting pressure on corporations to minimize cost by hiring cheap labor.  The American consumer has also screwed itself in this manner by insisting on cheap Chinese made shit thereby destroying local manufacturing bases around the country. They’re not entirely to blame; government overregulation is also largely responsible.

The American consumer also destroyed mom and pop small businesses on Main Street by transferring all their buying to Walmart, who in turn stopped inventorying American made shit and switched to substandard Chinese crap, thereby ensuring an endless loop of trashing and re-buying the same items instead of investing in a well made piece that lasted a generation.  Of course for that traditional quality American made paradigm to work, you have to have an expanding population, otherwise there’s no market to sell your well made long lasting stuff to and you go out of business. And here we are.  Once again, Americans are screwing themselves by not having babies.

I never understand how democrats can HATE freedom with such venom while claiming to be protecting freedom by taking away freedoms.

You weren't spending money back then on the newest iphone, high speed wifi, multiple streaming services, starbucks, etc. It's a spending/saving problem, not an income problem.

I'm also seeing that most young people these days want to buy the same kind of house their parents have now rather than settle for something they can afford and work their way up.  And they're frustrated that their gender studies degree won't land them a job they can live on.

We will not have a confrontation with Russia.   Right now Russia can do whatever they want because they know the US is weak and will not confront them.

If Trump becomes president, they will cool their aggression and use that time to rebuild their military internally.

The real threat to the US is China, Iran and the US Intelligence community.

Good point, and I agree.  I get the idea from Tucker's interview with Putin that Putin himself does not want a direct confrontation with America.  Iran on the other hand is run by insane Islamofascists who openly call for the destruction of the U.S. and China simply wants to dominate the western Pacific and the world's economy (both involving Taiwan's chip industry) - I think they will ultimately fail, but they are run by insane communists who actually will never take over the U.S. militarily, but ARE in the process currently of destroying her from within. Buying up farmland, contaminating our children with Tic-Toc propaganda, infiltrating our highest levels of government (Fang Fang) buying off even higher levels (Biden and son).  And of course the IC is complicit in ALL of this, themselves now taken over by America-hating leftists and control freak statists.

Dems already toying with not certifying Trump if he wins.

Can we then charge them with insurrection?
