The Washington Monument stands as a tribute to our first president. This week, thanks to our 45th and 47th president, it is illuminated with the story of American greatness. 🇺🇸
Great job, PlyTwp.
Local governments in opt-out communities have a civic responsibility to inform their taxpayers that the smart bus tax is a new property tax, whether they themselves are for or against the new property tax. Don’t be like Wayne County and whoever is sending their mailers. #DavidvsGoliath

Somewhere down the road, people got it backwards. It’s not Tucker’s or Megyn Kelly’s or anyone else’s job to win over voters. It’s the job of elected officials to do so. Treating the base like trash while elevating Never Trump’ers was a choice.
Teddy Roosevelt and his cavalry of Rough Riders escorts President Trump’s motorcade in North Dakota for America’s 250th birthday.
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
1993. Dianne Feinstein: Should people be able to come to this country, get on Medicaid, give birth to a baby, and then go back to their home country? The answer is no.
Democrats used to be somewhat sane. Those days are long gone
Today’s decision regarding birthright citizenship is a travesty.
The Fourteenth Amendment was written to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee citizenship to freed slaves—not to create automatic citizenship for the children of those who violate our immigration laws or are only temporarily in the United States. This decision will only invite further exploitation of our immigration system.
The Court adopted an interpretation that departs from the original meaning of the Constitution and incentivizes illegal immigration.
Congress retains the authority to clarify federal law, and it should act immediately to restore the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause and protect the integrity of American citizenship.
Rep. Roy: "Today the Supreme Court manufactured out of thin air a complete abomination of a ruling by the Chief Justice suggesting that you can simply become a citizen from being born on dirt, thereby validating the abhorrent practice of baby factories.
This leaves us no choice but to do what we must do to PAUSE all immigration."
One of the most destructive and outrageous decisions in the long history of the Supreme Court. American citizenship is not the birthright of the world. It belongs only and solely to Americans. No provision of the Constitution can be read to require our national self-obliteration.
Justice Thomas spells out what it is to be an American perfectly, and why birthright should be for children of lawful citizens: it means to have "no other homeland," to owe "no allegiance to any foreign power," and to be "subject to no other authority."
In 1993, the late Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced a bill that would've eliminated birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and clarified which babies would be entitled to US citizenship (US citizen or lawful permanent resident mothers).
The "Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993" never made it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
That an invader cannot unilaterally assert jurisdiction against a sovereign is the most ancient principle of nation states articulated in the Declaration we celebrate this week. No court opinion can change that, especially when courts don't hand out citizenship documents.
It’s a perversion of self-government.
Judicially mandating that foreigners are entitled to birth US citizens against the wishes of the people as reflected in law means we cease to be our own rulers.
@david_may@shoesonplease They shouldn’t have. Context is supposed to matter. They just rewrote an amendment. A lot of language isn’t in the amendments but we know what they meant.
