@Newsforce Not surprised. I don't like birthright citizenship, but the plain text of the 14th Amendment says what it says. Anyone born here is a citizen. End of story.
OMG
JFK Middle School in Massachusetts held an anti-ICE protest to campaign against Citizens Bank because they work with ICE
This protest was supported by Indivisible
Schools are teaching your kids to become radical left-wing activists and call to debank conservatives.

@LadDilgard@EndWokeness Don't blame SCOTUS. They ruled Congress failed to specify a deadline when ballots must be received, and SCOTUS is not going to arbitrarily set a deadline. They told Congress to do their job. It was absolutely a correct ruling. Now Congress needs to pass the Save America Act!

I’m supportive of international public health aid when it comes to cheap interventions like dispensing HIV and TB and malaria meds. (I am a lib 🤷♂️ .)
However, Kristof is just making everything worse.
First, you can’t hysterically crybully Americans into supporting these programs and trying to do so instead of making a calm, measured case just makes people reactive and oppositional because it’s so obviously a cynical, manipulative tactic.
Second, it’s not our responsibility to fill up anyone’s gas tank. All of these initiatives have to be completely reconsidered and our obligations need to be clearly defined. That Kristof can’t intuit that Americans would oppose filling foreign gas tanks demonstrates just how out of touch he is and that he’s bound to do more harm than good in attempting to propagandize on behalf of international public health.
Third, none of these vignettes meet even the most basic evidentiary standards to support his assertions. Furthermore, this isn’t how it’s done - big programs need to be supported by population level data and Kristof is obviously trying to be emotionally manipulative with anecdotes rather than addressing the policy questions in the right way with the right type of data.
Fourth, it’s lazy and cynical to try to lay this all on Musk. Maybe you shouldn’t have billion dollar ‘managed democracy’ and leftist NGO dark money sinkholes wearing the skin suit of true humanitarian programs. Maybe the people who designed these programs as such deserve a little more (or a lot more) of the blame for intentionally putting them in proximity to legitimate political targets.
Every time I read a half-informed journo trying to do advocacy for foreign health aid I cringe because it’s clear they don’t know what they’re talking about and are making lazy, motivated assertions that are bound to backfire and make things worse. If journos really cared about these issues and weren’t just scrounging for cheap partisan artillery they’d be a lot more carful, thoughtful, and reserved in what they’re arguing.
The argument that we are perpetually morally obligated to subsidize everyone in the Third World because at one time we subsidize them is the best way I can think of to guarantee that we’re not going to subsidize any of them going forward.
The claim that “You murdered Ogbugbu because you didn’t give him drugs to protect him from the disease he caught through his wanton sodomy despite four decades of us, paying to educate him about the dangers of his wanton sodomy!” is just not going to work the way you hope it does.
@SenSanders Senator, the world has been on a warming trend since the end of the Little Ice age. That was around 1860ish. From 1910 through 1945 the world had a huge warming trend, back when the population was less than 2 billion and maybe 5-10% as industrialized as today.
Them: THE PRESIDENT IS A PSYCHOPATHIC NAZI AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH THE UNLIMITED POWER THE SUPREME COURT JUST HANDED HIM THIS IS THE END OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND PEOPLE WILL DIE AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ELECTION!
Me: Would you join me in reducing Presidential power?
Them: HA YOU WISH! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT WILL USE THESE POWERS TO PUNISH YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. PREPARE FOR YOUR DOOM!
Hakeem Jeffries, two months ago: The "Trump Court" is engaged in a scheme to rig the midterm elections.
Jeffries, Today: The Supreme Court just dealt a big blow to Trump’s efforts to rig the midterm elections.
Just absolute Clown World stuff.
AOC tells her followers that Elon Musk gutted Medicare and Social Security to pay for his own tax cuts.
Imagine what an unhinged, unstable person might do if he or she actually believes these nonsensical lies.
This is the type of talk that ends up in a manifesto.
@EndWokeness Barrett's reasoning is logical and sound. The decision simply says Federal Election Laws passed by Congress don't contain a deadline for when ballots must be received by, and SCOTUS isn't going to add one! She tells Congress to add one if they want it.
Makes Sense!
@David_J_Bier That's what happens when someone attacks an ICE agent with their 4,200 lb SUV. The video the ICE agent was taking proves she hit the agent. You don't see it, but you clearly hear the impact!
In April 2024, Nicolle Wallace was doom mongering about how she might not be on the air anymore if Trump won the election.
Yet there she is over two years later, blabbering out the same kind of lies and disinformation she always has.
I have re-referred Anthony Fauci to the DOJ for prosecution. The evidence is clear. He funded dangerous research, knew the likely origin of COVID as early as January 2020, and spent years lying to Congress and the American people.
15 million people are dead. Justice demands accountability. @MariaBartiromo
