@DRuhle Border Security is a red herring The East Germans could not secure an 800 mile border with machine gun nests manned 24 hours a day If you could easily get a visa you would not have to sneak in If the State Department enforced expired visas there would be 5M fewer illegals


Trump is in the IQ decile that is able to simulate normal behavior but lacks the abilities required for academic success He matches 3 psychopathologies in the DSM-5: narcissism, paranoia & sociopathy He is a one-trick pony with a very good trick: bogus sincerity! He was born rich


I do not hate Donald Trump I despise people who do not recognize him for what he really is If this guy had been any good at government, he would have been in it long before In fact, he ran for the Presidency for the LOOT He does not CARE about government Or anyone but himself


A bum in a good suit is still just a bum


If you are really looking for the religion of Jesus you should go look at modern Judaism The Nazarene was, himself, an Essene He was anti-establishment, anti-performative, anti-opulent Faith without right conduct is of no real importance Only action & inaction counts


DEI is a social science acronym It is not a policy or a program It is not a substitute for merit It simply means to widen the scope of search for merit beyond one's own or a few like ethnic groups Genius is rare, but found everywhere!


There have always been cross-cultural individuals and families, but most people keep to their own "kind" as they see it The illusion of superiority is a comfort to them It IS an illusion


What has been called racial difference in America is actually cultural When travel was hard & communication slow, communities formed from groups of similar migrants, around churches, languages & origins We largely chose to segregate our groups anyway Racism encourages isolation


There is no longer racial purity in humanity, if there ever actually was Races are appearance types evolved by isolation in locales with radically different environments The lines began blurring in the 1700s The differences within races are greater than the differences between


The harms & dangers of immigration according to Stephen Miller are false The United States was built by waves of immigrants, farmed by waves of immigrants, industrialized by immigrants & financed by immigrants 40% of all the workers were black


The real illegal immigration problem is not at the border 40% of those here now illegally came legally on visas which expired The State Department controls visas & has no idea where these people are now There are SSNs for those who had jobs All of them had last known addresses


The idea of a Department of Homeland Security was opposed by GW Bush but not vetoed by him DHS cobbled together a few relevant agencies while not actually including the principal ones - FBI & CIA The Coast Guard was better off at the Pentagon


ICE agents are not real police They have specific jurisdiction over immigration & customs & just about nothing else ICE people in combat camo is ludicrously out of touch with their actual duties They cannot arrest people They can just detain illegals


Do the math There are 340 million or so people living in the USA About 11-12 million are here unlawfully A random sample of 100 would catch, on the average, four That is no way to get the numbers they need


Let's get real Trump Administration immigration policy is fictionally based & incompetently executed There ARE legal ways to find & deport "hidden" illegal aliens There are hangouts where criminal aliens can be found These are not that These are reality TV tactics - all staging


What Trump & MAGA do NOT understand is that POTUS is NOT the sovereign of the United States His wishes are Constitutionally irrelevant He is the Chief Administrator, answerable to both Congress, which can remove him, & the Court, which can overrule him Je is NOT free to act!


The act of grabbing Maduro & wife is a violation of not just Venezuelan law, but of ours as well The facts that POTUS don't like the guy & that Chevron wants the oil do not make this legal POTUS ordering this is a high crime under the traditional definition IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!


Stephen Miller's position at the White House doesn't give him authority to give orders to anybody NO ONE on White House staff is in the actual chain of command POTUS must issue all orders to the military All aggressive operations are to be conducted by military personnel, not CIA


It is also true that kidnapping the first family of another nation is an Act of War The "emergency" powers of POTUS allow RETALIATION for an Act of War by an adversary They do NOT include INITIATING war! That requires an Act of Congress, not just inaction


The truth is that the United States has a surplus of petroleum & has no use for more A US company might benefit from taking over the Venezuelan sovereign oil company but as a nation WE do NOT benefit! We NEED new refineries to make GASOLINE We HAVE plenty of oil!
