Grant’s graciousness to Lee and the other officers is the stuff of legend. When Grant saw Longstreet, an old friend and West Point comrade, on the porch, all he did was offer him a cigar. We live in the ruins of a noble culture.
“A French priest founded a university 160 years ago, therefore you must accept infinite Haitians and Somalis for all eternity.”
Yeah, we’re not doing this anymore.
If your rule of constitutional interpretation leads you to conclude your nation must destroy itself then your rule of constitutional interpretation is wrong.
Welcome to socialism, where the government demands you turn your house into a sauna because they can't plan for the super unpredictable fact that it tends to get hot in the summer.
If your family settled Jamestown in 1607, you’re an invader with no claim to this stolen land.
If your Chinese mom pops you out in Guam tomorrow, America is your birthright.
American citizens are the product of centuries of patriots, pioneers, and visionaries who fought and died to create the most prosperous nation in world history. But if American citizenship belongs to any foreign national who crosses over our borders and gives birth to a child, then the very concept of citizenship means nothing.
We all knew that SCOTUS would uphold the farce of “birthright citizenship.” That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a catastrophic decision for the country, and idiotic on its face, based on logic that nobody actually believes.
Under the leadership of Abigail Spanberger, Democrat leaders across the state are letting criminal illegal aliens walk free to terrorize our families.
The solution is simple: PROTECT VIRGINIANS. DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS. COOPERATE WITH ICE.
Remember: the Somalian who was born to illegal immigrant parents 23 years ago has a "birthright" to be in this country. But you are an invader who has no right to be here, even though your family has been in this country for 200 years. This is what the Left actually believes.
Democrats illegally airlifted a large chunk of Haiti to the Midwest mere months ago. Now the leftist media proclaims their “right” to remain here with the same reverence as an ancient Shinto shrine in Japan (while viewing historic American communities as entirely disposable).
You may as well ask why the US in general attracted so many immigrants for centuries, or why the West at large is the world’s only major immigration destination. Or why people only moved one direction across the Rhine and Danube throughout the Roman Empire’s existence.
The South is the fastest growing part of America because it is the most economically advantageous place to move to.
Capital attracts people. Economic prosperity, jobs, affordable housing, and the potential for future growth attracts people.
But being a magnet for migration is a double-edged sword. We have seen countless examples of being metaphysically neutral on everything while fostering a “low tax, low regulatory” environment ends in total disaster because you’ll inevitably import people who will come for the prosperity and then vote to dismantle everything which makes that prosperity possible in the first place.
We are in the first stages of secession.
Mamdani considers New York an independent city-state, with it's own foreign policy, immigration policy, and economic policy. He does not recognize the legitimacy of the federal government or even the United States as a nation to any extent beyond that which his party can directly control or benefit from financially.
He does not talk about himself as an American, nor does he speak of New York as a component of the United States. Quite the opposite, in fact.
And aside from his official portraits, he is never voluntarily photographed with or around an American flag. And he is WAY too conscious of optics for that to be anything other than deliberate.
He (and the DSA with him) will use the power of this city to wage a soft civil war against the nation itself.
It is LONG PAST TIME for an appropriately severe reaction from the federal government. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. This is not politics, this is the enemy.
Brad Lander NY-10: 40% white, 28% foreign born, 41% don’t speak English at home
Claire Valdez NY-7: 37% white, 33% foreign born, 52% don’t speak English at home
Darializa Avila Chevalier NY-13: 15% white, 35% foreign born, 55% don’t speak English at home
Disproportionate white libs opened the doors decades ago, but we’re feeling those effects now. We’re in a new phase now. It’s not stupid college kids, it’s third world immigrants and their children voting to take your stuff away.
The historic signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill nearly one year ago REVITALIZED our @USCG.
Thanks to @POTUS Trump, the U.S. Coast Guard stands ready and energized to protect our waters.
