15 million aliens were allowed to pour into the country in just four years under the previous administration.
This is not immigration, it’s invasion.
America must never return to open border policies.
This is so true. Some who get elected will do the right thing for the right reason, but not enough to carry the day.
So you need to incentivize the remaining elected officials to get to the right position — but they will only do so based on their own self-interest, not based on the public interest.
🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..
> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..
> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..
> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..
> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..
> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..
> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..
> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..
> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..
> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..
> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..
all of this.. one Friday..

*Today in history*
March 23, 1775
“GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”
The spring of 1775 hung heavy with uncertainty in the Virginia colony. On March 23, inside the plain brick walls of St. John’s Church in Richmond, more than a hundred delegates gathered for the Second Virginia Convention. The air smelled of candle wax, wet wool coats, and rising fear. George Washington sat among them, grave and watchful. Young Thomas Jefferson observed from the side, taking notes. For days the men had debated one question: Should Virginia raise its own militia and prepare for war against Britain, or send yet another humble petition begging for peace?
Many still hoped reconciliation was possible. Moderates spoke of caution, warning that arming would only provoke harsher measures from the Crown. Then Patrick Henry stood. He was not imposing, slender, red-haired, dressed simply, but his presence commanded the room the moment he began.
He opened with respect: “No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House.” But his voice soon sharpened like a blade. He recounted a decade of colonial grievances: taxes imposed without representation, petitions ignored, insults returned for humility. “Our supplications have been disregarded,” he said. “Our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult… we have been spurned with contempt from the foot of the throne.”
He dismissed hope as delusion. “Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?”
Delegates shifted uneasily. Henry pressed on, painting a stark picture: British fleets and armies already sent not to negotiate, but to conquer. “Their chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!”
He invoked the Almighty, the soil of Virginia, the three million souls ready to defend their freedom. “There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.”
Then the turning point. “Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace… but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?”
Silence gripped the church. Henry’s eyes burned. He stretched his arms as if testing invisible shackles. “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!”
In one fluid motion he snatched a letter opener from the table, raised it high, then drove it toward his own breast in a dramatic gesture of a man choosing death over bondage.
“I know not what course others may take,” he thundered, “but as for me…
give me liberty, or give me death!”
The room froze. For several heartbeats, no one moved. Then applause and shouts erupted, “To arms! To arms!” Men leaped to their feet, faces alight with resolve.
The vote came swiftly. Henry’s resolutions passed, narrowly, but enough. Virginia would arm its militia and commit to the fight.
No full transcript was taken that day; the words were later reconstructed from memories of witnesses like Jefferson and St. George Tucker. Yet the fire Henry kindled needed no exact record. Within weeks, the first shots rang out at Lexington and Concord. The American Revolution had begun in earnest.
And one man’s defiant cry, delivered in a humble church in Richmond, still echoes through history: Give me liberty, or give me death.
On this date in 1474, the Venetian Senate issued what is believed to be the world's first patent law, protecting the "ingenious contrivances" of "very clever minds" for up to 10 years. #patents@uspto https://t.co/hYKVc2BND9
