Once you understand the incentive, the reason for the behavior becomes obvious: they are importing a left-voting bloc that depends on government handouts.
A prominent example of this in America is Ilhan Omar and her Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, an area which used to be primarily Nordic-German.
Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy.
We stand on the precipice of disaster, an end to America.
This chart shows that the top 1% of California taxpayers are responsible for more than 33% of all tax dollars.
The top 0.1% of California taxpayers payers (~17,500 people) are responsible for more than 16% of all tax revenues.
The point is that only a few people, in a state of 40M people, pay a huge portion of the state’s revenues. As one of them, I can tell you categorically that we’ve had enough. We will all move if this tax insanity doesn’t stop and pockets are organizing already to do so en masse.
The middle class will then be left alone to pay for all the waste of the politicians you’ve elected because they have no ability to stop.
The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy.
No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022, Congress was briefed repeatedly with a pressure campaign.
They told us over and over that Putin was just like Hitler and he would quickly take Ukraine then Poland next and he was so crazy that he would steam roll across Europe.
And that we must send as much money, weapons, and even put US troops on the ground to stop this mad man.
I never believed the lies and refused from day one to vote to fund it because just like with the Covid “pandemic” it was easy to find the truth and dispel their manipulations.
3 years and 3 months later it’s still the same war they have been fighting since 2014, and Russia only controls 20% of Ukraine.
Congress has been lied to in briefings many times just like the American people have been lied to.
All in manipulations to support wars and issues that have absolutely nothing to do with our people, our security, and our future.
Yet the taxpayer funding that has been doled out by the trillions always enriches the military industrial complex and special interest NGOs and all the people that figure out how to get contracts off the latest grift.
What do the American people get?
$36 trillion dollars in debt.
Our fathers, uncles, brothers, sons, cousins, and friends killed or forever injured from foreign wars.
A federal government and elected leaders obsessed with foreign causes and conflicts going on taxpayer funded codels to inject themselves into the grift.
A never ending flow of lobbyists going through revolving doors of Congressmen’s offices with funding requests that “protect jobs” in our districts.
And mainly a government that is too broke to fix our own infrastructure, education system, mental health and drug crisis, and invest in our children’s futures.
American people, you aren’t angry enough at what your leaders have done to you and lied to you about for decades now.
And you are the only ones who can truly fix it.
MUST WATCH: VA Secretary Doug Collins just REKT a fake news journo spreading rumors, lies, and unconfirmed reports about the VA.
This is absolutely glorious
Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.
The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).
In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to @USTreasury for the great work.

For three days a lot of the far left has actively rooted against America and argued we’d get nothing out of President Trunp’s demands that Mexico secure its country.
Well, how do you like them apples?
@RepNancyMace@nancymace this is the hill you are choosing to die on?? This is not part of the mandate from the voters. We voted to keep transgender women from competing in girls sports. Get to work on the mandate and deal with this later.
If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth.
Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did.
If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM.
The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter.
Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media.
The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript.
As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again.
They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference.
When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public.
The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy.
The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people.
Honest Abe said it best:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
They tried to impeach him, silence him, convict him, and shoot him.
Trump survived all of it, so they overturned their own election in a soft coup on President Biden.
And he beat them anyway.
We beat them.
We must not squander this moment in history.
The fight has just begun.
