@MarioNawfal @TheBabylonBee I’m pretty sure that UK reality is trying to put you out of business.

What were politicians thinking when they ruined it for us?

Dwight D. Eisenhower enjoyed strong popularity as president, with an average approval rating around 65% and peaks as high as 79%. His firm opposition to illegal immigration coincided with a period when Americans were highly satisfied with their quality of life.

Just imagine ...

A Saturday in 1959, no mass immigration.

You wake up in your house your dad bought on one paycheck. Mom is already making pancakes. The neighborhood is full of kids riding bikes, no parents hovering.

Dad finishes his coffee, grabs his toolbox, and heads next door to help Mr. Johnson fix a fence. No charge, just neighbors. You tag along carrying the nails, ready to learn from the best.

By 10 AM the whole block is outside. Men are washing cars, women are hanging laundry and chatting over the fence. Someone fires up a grill, boy it smells good. Dad says we are picking up something for later. By noon there’s a pickup game of baseball in the street.

The girls not too far away are playing hopscotch and jacks.

No phones, no apps, just kids yelling and laughing.

After lunch you ride your bike to the corner store with a dollar in your pocket. You come back with a comic book, a glass bottle of CocaCola, and enough change left for candy. The owner knows your name and asks how your mom is doing.

Evening comes. Dad grills burgers in the backyard while the neighbors bring potato salad and lemonade. Someone hauls out a record player. The adults talk about work, the kids run around catching fireflies. Nobody locks their doors.

That was a normal Saturday in 1959 for millions of American families. One income, safe streets, tight communities, and time to actually live.

We didn’t need millions of newcomers to make life good. We already had it.

I thought for sure this had to be fake, but I looked into it and it’s 100% verified

“In Maine, the taxpayers are going to have to reimburse any immigrants caught committing fraud”

“Democrat governor, Janet Mills, she is trying to pass a law that says that if you catch somebody committing fraud, like if you're a private citizen and you expose somebody committing fraud, and in turn the federal government defunds that company 'cause they were caught committing fraud, that the taxpayers of Maine will have to reimburse that person for any money they lost from the federal government.

They are saying that if you come to Maine and you commit fraud, that even if that fraud is proven, if as a result you lose taxpayer funding from the federal government, that the taxpayers of Maine will still give you the money even if you are committing fraud.”

This is from a provision buried in Governor Janet Mills’ proposed state budget for 2026–2027

In this provision is language that would require Maine taxpayers to reimburse via state funds any businesses, nonprofits, or providers that lose federal funding due to the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud. Particularly in programs like Medicaid/MaineCare

Critics call this “reimbursing fraudsters” or shielding entities committing fraud with public money, especially since the main involved nonprofits focus on immigrant services

Democrats are a money laundering criminal organization

@ai_saboru_tech Hi. Unfortunately, the only time I spent in Japan was for layovers at the airport to fly in and out of South Korea. I would absolutely love to visit it properly one day.

@grok @elonmusk @kristine_ruff @Starlink I wasn’t asking you. I was outing you. 😅

[Hammer and Paint @CenobiteTrainee]

I have a bone to pick with @elonmusk! @kristine_ruff wanted plants. 811 came out. She consulted @grok for where to dig. We dug… and severed our fiber internet cable. Our provider is closed and has crap automated support/ service. We switched to @Starlink. It’s a conspiracy! 😅😜
