Birthright Citizenship was written for freed slaves, NOT the anchor babies of illegals.

Pass it on.

Josh Hokit saying “Michelle Obama is a man” is distasteful & takes away from the beauty of this historic UFC Freedom 250 event at The White House in my opinion.

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell criticizes Trump's White House UFC fight:

Our government is desecrating its role in society by hosting sporting events. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

This UFC flyover at the White House is badass. I just wish they had put the entire event for free on CBS so it wasn’t behind a paywall. Would have liked the largest possible audience to be able to see this live.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

I testified about this Wednesday relating to the NFL and the new Bills stadium, but I think there’s a public interest argument that when you use taxpayer funded venues for sports events — stadiums, in this case the White House — that the event should be on broadcast TV for free.

It was a historic day for markets.

Over 500 million shares of SpaceX, $SPCX, were traded today, with volume exceeding $80 BILLION.

SpaceX is now the 7th largest public company in the world.

Congratulations to all!

Might be an unpopular opinion on here but replacing a concert with a speech is lame and boring. Just go out and get real musicians to play. Don’t cancel the concert just because a bunch of washed up old has-beens canceled. There are hundreds of artists out there who might not be famous but would absolutely leap at the chance to play on a stage like this.

My patience for other people's dogs is zero. If I'm inconvenienced or disrupted by someone's dog for even one second, it's unacceptable. Your dog should just not ever be my problem. But children are human beings. They are the next generation. We need them to exist and be participants in society or else human society goes extinct. Therefore the baseline patience we have for kids, even when they're slightly disruptive, should be INFINITELY higher than our baseline patience for dogs. And yet a lot of people, because they're retarded and selfish and worship their pets, have this exactly reversed.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

It's insane that we're constantly having this conversation about whether kids should be allowed in restaurants etc, meanwhile people bring their dogs everywhere. We now live in a society where dogs are more welcome in public than human children. It's psychotic.

Scamming has become an epidemic. Millions of Americans get multiple scam texts and calls EVERY DAY. As the methods and technology get more sophisticated, even smart and savvy people fall victim. Billions of dollars lost every year. Meanwhile, a huge number of these scams are being run out of scammer compounds in countries like Cambodia, where scamming makes up half of their GDP. Why exactly shouldn’t we drone strike the scam centers? We know who these people are, where they are, and we know that they’re ruining the lives of millions of Americans, especially our elderly. We could destroy their operations easily and cheaply without risking any American lives. Why shouldn’t we?

Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.

The illegal immigration issue is not difficult or complex or nuanced. If they came here illegally, they need to leave. That's it. End of story.

"But what if they've been here for 10 years???"

They need to leave.

"But what if they haven't committed any other crimes???"

Leave.

"But what if they have a family???"

Leave.

This isn't hard at all. We have laws in this country. You broke the law. You don't belong here. Nothing personal. But get the hell out.

It should not be hard for elected Republicans to articulate this point. If they do have trouble articulating it -- if they take any position on illegal immigration except for this -- they can also go. That's not complicated either.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

The left’s argument for birthright citizenship is obviously insane but it’s even more insane when you consider that they actually don’t believe in your or my “birthright.” We are on stolen land and don’t belong here, according to them. But the anchor baby whose parents got here from Guatemala 10 seconds ago has a “birthright” and is tied to this nation by blood for all time. That’s actually their position. It’s so psychotic that you can’t even argue against it. Like trying to have a political debate with a dog. These people are not rational.

I used to be entirely in the camp that said you should kick your kids out at 18 and force them to live independently and make their own way in the world. I don’t feel that way at all anymore. I want all my kids to live with us until they get married. Even after they’re married, if they want to live on our property, or close by, my wife and I would love that.

The important thing is to teach your kids responsibility, which we’re doing. They need to contribute and help around the house, which all of our kids do from a very young age. Provided you aren’t raising ungrateful useless moochers, why kick them out? Why drive them away from your family home? I don’t see the point in it anymore. I actually like my kids and like being around them.

Maybe they’ll all end up scattered to the wind. But I’d prefer to keep the family together. Why wouldn’t I?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I supported the Venezuela operation and I’m on board with acquiring Greenland because they both pass the only litmus test I care about: Will it be a net benefit to the United States? Venezuela and Greenland are low risk, high reward. Big wins for our people. We gain much and lose little or nothing. Easy call, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m not actually an isolationist. I’m just an America First conservative in the strictest sense of the term. Does the benefit for America outweigh the cost? It must, or it’s a bad policy. This is one of my absolute core political principles, and always has been.

With this Iran thing, I don’t see how the math works in our favor. Or at least it seems highly unlikely that it will work in our favor. And so I’m against it. If that puts me at odds with the administration, and with much of the conservative commentariat, so be it. I have to stick to what I believe.

People who have followed my work for a long time are not remotely surprised by my stance on this.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty.

What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent.

We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects.

Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century.

I’m praying for our great country today.

I’ve given this hockey controversy more thought after all this outrage and looking at the other point of view. Maybe it is more nuanced than I gave it credit for in the beginning. Growth is progress. #olympicgold
