For the first time in recorded history, a civilization has decided that the most enlightened virtue is to surrender its culture, heritage, women, and children without putting up any defence. Suicidal empathy shall prove to be the demise of the West.
@geoff_calkins “Virtually crime free”, tongue in cheek comment that most recognize. I just don’t get the outrage from the opposite side. Trying to eliminate criminals and help the community seems to be a reasonable goal.
We’ve seen how the existing policies handle this. They don’t.
Immigration isn't complicated. We just pretend it is.
Imagine you own a house. Someone knocks on your door and says they want to move in.
You'd ask one question: "Why?"
If they say "because I love this house and I'll help pay the mortgage" you'd consider it.
If they say "because your house is nicer than mine and I want free rent" you'd slam the door.
That's immigration policy. It's not complicated.
You want to come to America? Here's the deal.
Don't hate this country. Don't move here and then spit on the flag that gave you a home.
Don't come for a handout. We're not a charity. We're a nation.
Learn the language. Learn the customs. Assimilate. Be smart. Build something. Make the neighborhood better than you found it.
Your grandkids should feel American. Not like permanent outsiders in a country that gave you a home.
Stand with us when things get hard.
When there's a war, you fight. When the Olympics come on, you cheer for the red, white, and blue. When the anthem plays, you stand.
Not because someone made you. Because you chose this.
That's what citizenship means. It's not a passport. It's not paperwork. It's a promise.
Most people born here don't even understand the weight of that. You should.
We've done this before.
Ellis Island. Millions showed up with nothing. Learned English. Built businesses. Raised families. America had the greatest economic boom in human history.
Not because we opened the borders. Because we opened them to people who wanted to build.
So what went wrong?
Milton Friedman said it plain: Americans turned on immigration when we became a welfare state.
Not because Americans are hateful. Because the deal changed.
Every country on earth gets to choose who comes in. We should be picking the best.
Engineers. Doctors. Builders. People other countries are fighting to keep.
Not whoever stumbles across the border first.
I don't want to hear about compassion when I'm paying full tuition and the guy who moved here last year gets a free ride.
I don't want to hear about tolerance when hundreds of millions in federal fraud gets traced back to one community in one state and nobody goes to prison for years.
I don't want to explain to my kid why the family down the street doesn't work, doesn't contribute, but somehow has more than we do.
That's not immigration. That's looting in broad daylight.
And when there's no accountability. When you can't even ask the question without being called a bigot. People stop trusting any of it.
That's when it breaks. For everyone.
Including the immigrants who did it the right way.
Not a single thing on this list is about race. Not a single thing is about where you came from.
It's about what you bring. And what you're willing to give back.
There are two kinds of immigrants in this country.
The ones who came here, bled for it, built something, and made us stronger.
And the ones who came here to take.
America's door is open. It always has been. But a door that's open to everyone is a door that protects no one.
And I'm not sacrificing my kid's future because you're afraid to say that out loud.
THIS IS WHAT SPORTS IS ALL ABOUT.
Oregon just lost by 34 points and after the game an Oregon Football equipment manager approached D’Angelo Ponds and gave him the game ball from his pick 6 interception to start the game. Even in defeat, who you are as a person should shine through.
THAT’S SPORTSMANSHIP.
THAT’S PURE CLASS.
This is what football is all about.
You love to see it.

I just want everyone to understand that America has not been trying. We bully our smart kids. We spend 1000 times more on special education than gifted and talented programs. We eliminated honors classes in the name of equality. We even came up with a replacement for phonics so stupid that half our kids can’t read. Then we take the smartest kids that survive this system, and we racially and sexually discriminate against them for entry into college. Then we do that again when they apply for their first job. And again for every job after that. Then we undercut them in favor of foreign labor that’ll do worse work for cheaper. Most kids see this and just say “fuck it” and focus on sports, or trying to be an influencer, or just give up on trying altogether. Meanwhile in places like China every kid spends 16 hours a day studying trig tables or gets the belt. Yet America is still number one. In everything. There is so much latent potential in the American people. We have tried before. We crossed a continent and carved this country out of clay. We recrossed the oceans and conquered the world by accident as a favor to our friends. One day (hopefully soon), we are going to start trying again. America will wake up. Don’t be on the wrong side when it does.
Jack Nicholson deliberately casts a subtle glance toward the camera in The Shining, a quiet choice meant to unsettle the audience on a subconscious level.

@Bubblebathgirl Does this woman actually do an ounce of work? Legislate? Work on bills that make sense? Nope, just flaps those damn gums 24-7 for the camera. The mainstream media loves to highlight that crap.
Muslims claim New York for Islam
“We're done hiding. We're done. —This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam, and we will not stop until it enters every home.
— I wanna hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the ummah depends on this, my brothers and sisters — There is no God worthy of worship except Allah — and final prophet, Mohammed.”
