Foreign born population of each country :

Now add children born to foreign parents and the situation looks even worse.

We are living through the demographic annihilation of the people of Europe.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.

Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

@martinamcbride Who are you?

I'm a bit tired listening to Establishment GOP commentators describe what a terrible candidate Paxton is for the Texas Senate.

Paxton twice won AG races statewide easily -- 2018 and 2022.

I get it -- there are issues in his past, and he was impeached for "securities fraud" --- involving Texas securities law, not federal securities law.

But I also have a surface understanding that the efforts against Paxton in Texas were driven by a rival faction of the TEXAS STATE GOP, pushed by the former Speaker of the Texas House who was an opponent inside the GOP.

The Speaker was later censured by the State Party for his efforts, and has since been run out of office.

Those were "intra-party" battles that Paxton's side ended up winning, and the losers remain butt-hurt over it all.

It all played out while Biden was POTUS and Dems controlled DOJ. No federal investigation went anywhere.

The fact that the Dems had to pull the Hoffman prosecution and COMPLETELY LIE about it as their opening salvo strongly suggests to me that the other stuff is "noise" with Texas voters.

The critics of Paxton in the GOP Establishment -- which I think mostly reflects simply the pro-Cornyn forces at the federal level in the GOP -- need to just stop because there is less substance to it all than they claim.

Get over it. Paxton is the candidate and likely the next Senator from Texas.

Cornyn, for whatever is virtues were thought to be in DC, lost track of the GOP voters in Texas.

Not the first time and won't be the last time.

His antagonists for 10 years have tried to illegally prevent him from being elected, then throw him out of office, then bankrupt his family, then throw him in jail, then prevent him from running again, and then prevent him from being elected again.

And he's supposed to just wave off all of that simply because they failed??

I just found something interesting hidden on the SpaceX website

Go to:
https://t.co/viRbWa2eZf → Human Spaceflight → Space Station → scroll all the way down → “Play Now”

It’s a live Dragon docking simulator where you try docking with the ISS yourself

And really… this game is way trickier than it looks

You think it’ll be simple until the capsule starts drifting sideways and rotating at the same time 😭

Made me realize how insanely precise real docking actually is. The controls, timing, movement… everything has to be perfect

[James Anderson White @jamesawhiite]

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.

You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.

This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.

The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.

A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.

Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.

We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.

Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

Over the last decade, the Soros strategy has elected more than a hundred radical prosecutors across America.

Every single Soros prosecutor must be replaced with one who will uphold the rule of law and keep Americans safe. https://t.co/s51mog3s3t

They can keep their seats through convincing voters, just like any other Congressman, but skin color no longer confers special privileges in redistricting. No racial spoils system on Capitol Hill. Equality.

@EricLDaugh @MoooPapa @grok what happened at the United Nations?

[Jason Miyares @JasonMiyaresVA]

Enough with the false flag operation that you are desperately pushing @SpanbergerForVA

You told Virginia voters last fall that you wouldn’t redistrict our state and silence millions of voters, but you lied and tried to do it anyway.

You knew from the very start that your scheme was illegal and unconstitutional.  You had my official AG opinion which laid out in clear detail why each action was unconstitutional, but you ignored it and pushed ahead with the referendum anyway.

When a judge halted the referendum because he found it had violated the state constitution, the AG and your legal team appealed his ruling to the VA Supreme Court and argued that the case couldn’t be heard until AFTER the vote had taken place. Then, when the VA Supreme Court ruled and said you had violated the law, you lied about why you lost the case (and then some in your party even hatched a plot to remove all of the Justices as retribution).

Now the US Supreme Court in a 9-0 decision, with Biden and Obama appointees agreeing, unanimously ruled that you broke the law and the entire process was unconstitutional from the beginning.

Enough with the bait and switch, Governor. It’s time to be honest with Virginians for once.

You and your fellow Democrats tried to illegally and unconstitutionally strip millions of Virginians of their voice in congress, costing taxpayers millions, dividing our state and pitting neighbor against neighbor, all to seize political power.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

This is the longform version of the master plan to remake America’s government, a plan I’ve outlined in pieces across various threads.

The protests and foreign-policy interventions are all moving toward the same end: a transformed American system of governance designed to prevent another Trump from ever taking power again.

In effect, the United States has become its own democratic-transition project. We are living through a color revolution.
