They spent $5.5M of your tax dollars on this. For 100 beds. That's $55K per bed. If you were to simply give somebody $55K, they could rent out a room in Van Nuys for 5 years. But then no contractor or NGO is getting their beak wet on the transaction. See the scam yet?
@mtaibbi But should we? Is Islam fundamentally a religion of peaceful coexistence? If that cannot be definitively determined, there needs to be a serious discussion about limits to religious freedom. Should we allow a religion with a fundamental tenet of violent conquest?
My name is Ella, I'm 17 years old.
I do long jump. I play volleyball. I go to school in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
When my school allowed a biological male into the girls' restroom without telling parents —
I went to the school board.
With my name attached.
In my own town.
I got bullied for it. Harassed online. Even some of my own teachers came after me.
I'm still here.
Because here's what I know:
The net in women's volleyball is set nearly a foot lower for a reason.
A biological male can hit a ball across that net at force that could seriously injure a girl.
And in track — all it takes is three biological males entering the girls' category
and not a single girl in this state stands on a podium.
I didn't speak up because it was easy.
I spoke up because somebody had to.
The Supreme Court is about to answer the question every girl in America is asking.
We're ready.

They’re communists
They have never worked a day in their lives
They’ve never built anything except a list of complaints
They’re takers, we’re builders
Important to understand why their winning and fix those things via capitalism and free markets:

Ending pointless forever wars (policy)
My response to @RepRoKhanna's self-immolation in committee today:
Ro Khanna owes the American people an apology.
I've testified in 20 state capitols across the country. I've never seen a lawmaker embarrass himself like Ro Khanna did today.
Ro is a leader of the most important committee for countering the Chinese Communist Party. Instead of dealing in substance and policy, he pulled out the race card in the most self-embarrassing way today while also peddling ridiculous conspiracy theories.
The American people need real solutions to acute national security issues. Ro Khanna is burning up committee time on nonsense.
Here's what happened: I testified today about how American state lawmakers are being threatened, harassed and attacked by Chinese state-tied actors. Our military installations are being closely surveilled. Chinese-Americans are being hunted down by CCP government agents. Critical infrastructure is being attacked.
Rep. Khanna ignored all those threats, *including threats to fellow Democrats who are currently sitting state lawmakers.* Honestly, I'm shocked that it did not register with him that a Chinese company threatened a Democrat state official. Instead, Ro dug up a tweet where I criticized CCP birth tourism and tried to call me racist.
Of course, he completely failed.
I oppose birth tourism schemes through which CCP military and political leaders get U.S. citizenship for their children by giving birth in Saipan and then raising their children loyal to the CCP in China. It's completely crazy that we allow this. @peterschweizer has documented this scandal in his recent book. This shouldn't be a partisan issue.
And here's the context: Ro was angry that I criticized birth tourism as a part of my criticism of two Chinese-Americans who attempted to bomb MacDill Air Force Base earlier this year. According to Rep. Khanna, the bombers Alen Zheng (20) and his sister Ann Mary Zheng (27) achieved American citizenship through some sort of birthright program. It's unclear whether they were just born and raised here, or if they were a part of the Saipan scheme I criticized.
But either way, Ro Khanna was lifting up and defending people who were basically terrorists who tried to bomb CENTCOM March 10th of this year. Then he turned around and claimed the real problem is racists who think birth tourism is a bad idea.
Guess who thinks birth tourism is a bad idea? 75% of the American people according to a YouGov poll from last year: "The group Americans are least likely to say should automatically receive U.S. citizenship — of the nine asked about in the survey — is children born in the U.S. to parents who are tourists visiting the country. 25% of Americans, including 11% of Republicans and 41% of Democrats, think children born to tourists on American soil should automatically receive U.S. citizenship."
Sorry 75% of Americans who have common sense. @RepRoKhanna thinks you're all racists!
Furthermore, with the CCP, we are talking about cases where a child in simply born on a U.S. pacific island and then returns to China within days, never to see the USA again. Ro Khanna apparently thinks giving citizenship to all of these people is a great idea, even if they are completely loyal to the CCP, absolutely hate the USA, and have never stepped foot in our country.
To me and to practically anyone with common sense who analyzes the CCP, this is an obvious vector for CCP grey-zone political warfare. For example, imagine 1,500,000 CCP loyalists raised entirely in China voting across swing states in our elections.
Nonetheless, Ro Khanna went on a rant to claim that I'm an anti-Chinese racist because I oppose this obviously ridiculous birth tourism scheme.
Now here's where Ro really jumped the shark. In his rush to conjure up a triple bank-shot conspiracy theory to try to claim I'm a racist, he apparently didn't do any homework to find out anything about me.
I'm married to an immigrant from China who became an American citizen in 2019. We have 4 wonderful children who are, of course, half Chinese by ethnicity. Ro was ranting at the dais claiming I'm racist against my own family simply because I oppose all the various schemes of the genocidal Chinese Communist Party, and I hold a position on birth tourism shared by 75% of the American people. And I bet it would be way higher than 75% if the question was focused on the CCP Saipan scheme.
As I told Ro in committee, calling someone an anti-Chinese racist for opposing the CCP is like calling someone an anti-Italian racist for opposing the mafia. Both examples are absurd. Embarrassingly so.
The American people need real leaders and real national security solutions from both federal and state governments. That's what we work on every day at @StateArmor.
We don't need @RepRoKhanna wasting time be-clowning himself in committee when there is so much real work that needs to be done.
Ro insulted me and my family today. But honestly, I don't know anyone who puts any value in what Ro says. So that doesn't really matter. Today's self-embarrassment was just one more part of Ro's ongoing self-immolation that includes endorsing Nazi-sympathetic candidates, claiming @elonmusk killed millions of kids, and being one of the most prolific stock traders in Congress. And that's just in the last few weeks.
But here's what matters: Ro Khanna is an elected official who is tasked with dealing with our most urgent national security issues, like those I brought before him and the @ChinaSelect committee today. And instead of engaging in a real policy discussion, he destroyed our ability to work together on real solutions to counter the attacks by the Chinese Communist Party.
For that, he owes the American people an apology.
How to succeed in the Democratic Party in 2026:
1. Be a Muslim or convert.
2. Openly declare that you hate America and want to destroy it.
3. Openly support Hamas.
That’s it.
Meet those three requirements and you’ll automatically be considered a ‘progressive.’ The new Palestine-first Democratic base will vote for you in droves.
Very rough night for all the high-IQ ‘reasonable centrist’ intellectual aristocrats of Twitter who have been dissembling on behalf of the respectability and intellectual and moral refinement of the Democratic Party, eagerly anticipating that a *Jewish Obama* (Shapiro, Ossoff, etc) would be next. Lol.
Happy to see all your dreams crushed.
You can either acknowledge now that the Democratic Party is being led by retarded communists, or, after humiliating yourself a bit more, you can acknowledge it later. Either one is fine. Doesn’t matter to me.
It has be really tough to swallow just how stupid and low human capital the vanguard of the Democratic Party is, particularly after years of smug condescension directed at Trump. Brutal. Just brutal.
Let me make sure I understand this.
An illegal alien walks into a federal immigration court. ICE agents are standing right there. The person is, by definition, in the country illegally.
And a Biden-appointed judge is siding with illegal aliens over Americans, ruling that ICE can't arrest them on the spot.
The most efficient, least dangerous place to make an arrest is now off limits…
These libtard judges don't want safer enforcement.
They want NO enforcement.
Every one of these rulings makes Americans less safe.
Judges who break their oaths need to be held accountable.
25 years ago, New York experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history.
Since then, the Muslim population in the U.S. increased from less than a million to almost 5 million.
Now, Muslims who have openly stated America deserved 9/11 are getting elected in New York.
Republicans should start moving now to enact legislation to prevent foreign born citizens from holding office. Because what has happened is that they have flooded the country with voters who have their own tribal and foreign interests that are opposed to American values and American culture.
We cannot have more Mamdanis and Ilhan Omars in office and expect the American experiment in liberty to survive. We can’t have judges who were just naturalized seven years ago overruling the will of the American electorate.
This is not 1910 and these are not European Catholics.
Los Angeles has nearly DOUBLE the GDP of Milan. Please explain to me why we can't have nice things? Other than your city leaders and their fraudulent NGOs are looting all your tax dollars.
In 1996, Congress passed a law creating a special fast-track deportation process (“expedited removal”) for illegals who have been inside the US for 2 years or less. After adoption, it was never applied outside very limited circumstances. In 2004, the Bush Administration published a notice in the Federal Register limiting expedited removal (ER) to within 14 days and 100 miles of the border. In the first Trump Administration, DHS extended ER to the full statutory construction enacted by Congress — it was immediately blocked by a federal judge. The Biden Administration later formally restored the Bush policy. On the first full day in office, January 21, 2025, President Trump’s DHS again restored the long-unenforced statute, and was again blocked by a rogue judge. Today, the an appeals court has finally vacated that injunction. This ongoing saga is a tragically illustrative example of just how many forces are at work constantly, and over many years, to deny Americans their sovereignty.
In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.
Following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research.
Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China.
Those 300 scientists were right about Fauci…
But the big question is, why are people like him so obsessed with creating dangerous pathogens in the first place? 🧵
I am a lifelong Democrat. I served in the White House for President Clinton, in the State Department for Madeleine Albright, and with the United Nations in Cambodia. I believe the most important role of any government is to protect the most vulnerable people in society and create an environment where everyone can realize their fullest potential. So it gives me no pleasure to have come to the following conclusion:
The American left, including the left wing of the Democratic Party, is currently embracing an orgy of virulent antisemitism.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro GOES HAYWIRE on the fake news, then STORMS out of the room!
"Oh, CUT IT OUT! You know how many convictions we've got? Cut it out! You're in one lane. We have cleaned up this city! Yeah, historic, really?!"
"I'll tell you what's historic. What's historic is that I prosecute everything other than 10 PERCENT of the cases where the United States attorney before me didn't prosecute 67 PERCENT of the cases!"
"THAT'S what's historic. I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill because I'll take all the crimes and put them in! Thank you." *Walks out*
🔥🔥🔥
Impeach Judge James Boasberg. He is DESTROYING the rule of law!
