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

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

They are committing sabotage. They are undermining the safety and sovereignty of the nation. Criminal charges need to be brought.

I think it's a shame they have to, but YES.  I think they should be allowed to.

The Feds should either be in there helping or leave.  They shouldn't be obstructing.

I think it's great that States like Florida and Tennessee are sending in their National Guard troops to help.

It’s one thing for Biden and the feds to ignore the border and fail to defend it.  It is quite another for them to actively obstruct Texas’s efforts to defend the border which is not only the U.S. border, but also Texas’s border which are the property lines of private citizens whose lands are being overrun. 

Biden is suing Texas to stop our efforts, federal agents are cutting the wire we put up; this cannot be seen as anything but outright hostility. The Biden administration is behaving like an enemy of Texas. There is no other way to look at it.

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.

It is the very definition of manipulative gaslighting. If America were a couple, the Democrat regime would be an abusive psychopathic spouse.

I am not claiming this is the primary cause but perhaps it is also contributing. In some sense houses are more sophisticated now and may thus just cost more in real dollars. There is also a lot more regulation and code compliance which likely drives up prices. Many municipalities have actually banned things like the small house movement which was designed to provide more smaller but livable spaces.

That's a very good point. Back when I was a kid, all the houses we lived in and the ones our relatives lived in had only one full bath plus a lone toilet sitting open on the floor of the basement. Everybody had 4 or more kids and we managed with one bath. Nobody used the basement toilet except Dad. That was his emergency exit when wife or kid was hogging the one bathroom. 

Our great aunt out on the farm still had the outhouse in addition to the single added on bath that had been installed in the landing of the front staircase.  (There was no toilet in her root cellar.)  There was a separate staircase in the back that led to an upstairs servant's bedroom. They had no servants by the time we came along and visited but one of our great aunts slept up there and used a chamber pot. The stove was wood fired.

The past two houses we've lived in have a full bath for each bedroom.   Plus another half bath.  And they're just your average 3 bedroom house.  All our other houses had at least 2 and a half baths. (Except our money pit starter home.)  So yes, expectations have changed greatly.

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.

Gotta admit, I'm not really sure what this means.  Someone smarter than me can explain?

Came from this tweet on X:  https://x.com/annvandersteel/status/1763259723292279262?s=20

So far I can’t find what it means.

The guy who was in charge of storing, testing and programming the vote machines in Delaware Cty, PA was suing Trump, etc. for defamation because two Republican poll workers made a scene accusing him of tampering with the vote machines to add 50,000 Biden votes, when they supposedly “knew” the guy had no ability to do that. (The complaint doesn’t explain how they could have known that, or why he couldn’t tamper with the vote count if he was in charge of programming the machines in the first place.)

It seems to me that what should settle this case would be a complete forensic examination of the machines to determine if they had indeed been tampered with but I haven’t found yet whether any attempt to do that was carried out.

It seems the plaintiffs decided to drop the case before it was heard.  Possibly because they were made aware of evidence the defendants were going to bring?  The tweets imply this is proof that fraud happened but I haven’t yet seen where this is actually stated, nor why the case was dropped.

And all of the above is my take from a brief search and I could have got something wrong.

Edit:  Maybe there was a settlement?  If so, that’s not really a win at all.  Need more info.

The story about Christopher Columbus and the lunar eclipse demonstrates the technological superiority of the Europeans over the Native Americans which is why Europeans took over the land. Had nothing to do with whites being “evil” and neither group was morally or inherently superior. 

The technological advancement of white Europeans was an outgrowth of the geological circumstances of the European continent, not a result of white’s being “better” people. 

Likewise the still-primitive cultures of Native Americans did not represent moral superiority. Tribes raided and murdered each other same as humans everywhere for all time.

There were good and bad features of both, but neither were “better” people.

Spin Zone / Re: Mitch McConnell steps down
« on: February 28, 2024, 01:34:07 PM »
I hate to get my hopes up, but dare I say things are looking up?

My opposition to Trump was only that I thought someone else would have a better shot at winning in November.  But that is irrelevant now.

Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country, and support Trump.

Jews are leaving Biden because he is not helping Israel enough.
Arabs are leaving Biden because he IS help Israel too much.
Trump is picking up substantial support from blacks and Hispanics.

Also,
Rona Romney is stepping down.
Mitch is stepping down.
Nikki is now saying she will stay in the hunt until Super Tuesday, instead of till the end.
Koch's are moving support from Nikki to the Congressional races. 
If we can just get one or two Senate seats we keep get the Senate
Hopefully we can hang onto the house.

With all of this, Trump not only looks to win, but he will be going in with his eyes open and hopefully fewer Rs seeking to undermine him, like last time.

Sans cheating, I am feeling optimistic. (uh oh. I probably shouldn't have said that).

Agree, Trump is doing better in the polls than he was doing in 2016 or 2020 and he won both times. Hopefully this means he will win in such a landslide they can't cheat they're way out of it.  But if that happens, look to him having a very hard time getting things done as they will try to undermine his presidency every step of the way.

Asylum seekers must by law stop at the first country that doesn't actively oppress them.  As they made it through a dozen other safe countries, they are by definition not asylum seekers.  They are simply freeloaders.  If they want to work, let them work to improve their own country.  If they want to vote for change, let them vote to change their own country.

Trump understood that and made them stay in Mexico; Biden reversed that on day 1 damn him into Hell.  You cannot tell me that isn't deliberately opening the borders to ILLEGAL ALIENS and thus enabling an invasion which will be the end of our county and our culture.

No I'm not "racist" or "zenophobic" and I am NOT anti-immigration you fucking lying left. I am all for LEGAL immigration, like members of my own family who are Hispanic.  And one Brit.  And those are just the ones still alive.

Edit, not YOU username, I'm not calling you fucking lying left.   ;D

Spin Zone / Re: Tulsi vs Nikki
« on: February 27, 2024, 05:39:56 AM »
No one is perfect. 2nd amendment absolutists are rare.  Trump himself has been for some gun control.  Tulsi has shifted to the right over time and it’s been gradual, which inclines me to believe it’s sincere, not just a lie made up to try to fool us.

Here are some reasons I think that:

She has come to see the federal government as an out of control tyranny, (duh!) and the DC bubble completely disconnected from the people, and hence has begun to understand the eventual possible need for the people to be armed enough to check a tyrannical government.  She has verbally expressed this, that gun rights are not simply for individual self defense.

Back in her younger days, isolated on that little island off in the Pacific, she was pretty focused on local environmental issues, hence a Democrat, and like many young people drawn toward liberalism.  But with time and refocusing on broader issues, she has moved away from progressivism, again, like many of us, as we get older and wiser. I believe we might give her the benefit of doubt.

Ability to avoid WW3 might be a priority in picking the VP. She is against the U.S. interfering in conflicts overseas, while being for defending us against attack at home.  She is also against the far left woke takeover.  She is FOR paper ballots and election security.

So while we must be wary and watch her on the 2nd Amendment issue, there is a good chance she is experiencing genuine growth, which if true is a good sign, a sign of open mindedness, intelligence, willingness to admit when she is wrong, and so forth.

You have to listen to her extensively and then get a gut feel for if she is sincere in her change of heart. So far I tend to think she is.  But I’ll be watching her carefully while remaining “guardedly optimistic”.

Now this,  it will be a very interesting year wonder what is next.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rnc-chair-ronna-mcdaniel-resign-super-tuesday-reports

I am sick of being called “far right”!  Just because I wanted to replace Ronna McDaniel?  And because I like Trump because he lowered my taxes, made the U.S. energy independent and actually defended our border? 

This is Fox News, supposedly on my side, but a traitor. Going along with the left calling anyone not on the left “far right”.

Screwing around with language.  You don’t want to cut a little boy’s dick off because he picked up a doll once?  You’re “transphobic”.  You think Hamas are an evil terrorist group? You’re “Islamophobic”.  You think we should abide by the U.S. Constitution?  You’re a “domestic extremist”. You don’t want to allow millions of illegal aliens to overrun the country?  You’re “anti-immigration” - a lie

All of the above makes me a normal American. It’s the radical left agenda that’s extreme, and mentally sick, and they’ve worked it into the culture through a corrupt media of which Fox is as bad as the rest.
