@DemSocialists The irony is that every promise socialism makes depends on capitalism first producing the wealth socialism plans to redistribute.

Socialism only takes, it doesn’t make.

SCOTUS and Birthright Citizenship ERROR #2

SCOTUS says the history of Jus Soli establishes that everyone born on American soil regardless of parental legal status automatically becomes a citizen.

However, factually and historically, Jus Soli is a legal doctrine developed by kings and conquerors to expand political power by creating subjects.

I find it disturbingly ironic that the liberal Justices, who claim to see slavery and oppression in every corner of American history, completely overlook the genuinely feudal origins of this doctrine.

This is what happens when history and the Constitution are replaced with political mythology.

Children are born subject to their parents, not to government. It’s a parental authority issue, not a government jurisdiction issue.

Government does not become a child’s master simply because they first draw breath within a particular border.

Even Great Britain, the very nation the majority relies upon to bind us to this feudal doctrine, has abandoned unconditional birthright citizenship.

1. Americans rejected the notion that people are born owing unconditional and perpetual allegiance to kings and governments when we declared Independence.

2. We rejected it again when we established a constitutional republic where citizenship is founded upon law, consent, and allegiance, not the accident of geography.

Now, through an astonishing ignorance of both history and constitutional principle, the majority has resurrected the very feudal philosophy our Founders rejected.

It is a political doctrine that says government owns your political allegiance from the moment of your birth, regardless of the allegiance of your parents.

That is the doctrine of kings and oppressors and therefore patently unAmerican.

If SCOTUS will, through an unfathomable depth of ignorance for political reasons, voluntarily adopt such despotism are we also going to overturn Dredd Scott in some creative but imaginative way that will become championed by the very people it once oppressed?

Every generation that abandons discernment eventually discovers the same truth: unintended consequences are monsters that never stay under your control. Eventually, they turn on their creators.

Stay tuned for Error #3

I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.

Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.

My wife says, "Get it out."

I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.

The children back into the hallway.

I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.

Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.

When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.

Anyway, that's Western migration policy.

Hey Chicago Bears Fans,

Your blood is about to boil reading this:

I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.

At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.

Let that sink in.

For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.

Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.

This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

Hello Senator Thune,

Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."

You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.

Here's how we know:

Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.

Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:

Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.

Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.

Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.

Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.

You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.

Now let's talk donors:

• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants

Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."

Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.

We see the loop.

You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.

What we want:

1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.

YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.

You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.

Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

🚨BREAKING: SecDef Pete Hegseth stares right at the press and goes scorched earth, spelling out their insanity. I could watch this all day.

"You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective."

"Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful."

"How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?"

"There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible."

"You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission."

"How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that."

Do you firmly support Pete Hegseth on this?

A. Huge Yes
B. No

IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!

After 40 years (born and raised) I left WA. Moment is leaving this month as well.

I'm not even a millionaire affected by this tax. But when you add up all the costs to run a business in WA we can't afford it. You can build a remote team and re-open in Wyoming, removing all of these costs.

WA is incredibly beautiful (especially the summers) and the people are great. Unfortunately the numbers don't lie and unless you run a super high margin software business, WA is just too expensive.

Personally...you'd never pick WA to start a company.
- Gas taxes (now some of the highest in the state)
- Sales tax (up to 10.5% in Seattle)
- Property tax (1% of your home value with a path they can take this to 3%. In total $ this tax they have increased nearly 100% over the last decade)
- Capital gains tax (new in the last three years went form 0 -> 9%. it targets business owners and not real-estate).
- Estate tax (they recently changed it to a progressive system that is up to 35% just to the state of WA)
- Housing prices are some of the highest in the country.
- Food costs are unreal, just visit a Seattle restaurant or grocery store.

Business...
- Very little capital. Great angels but almost no VC or larger funding sources.
- Super high salaries for tech talent (this has changed but amazon, microsoft, etc paid very high rates for a very long time).
- B&O Tax: paid as a % of your sales.
- Sales & Use Tax (this is the real killer)

What pushed us out was the recent change to Sales & Use Tax. It used to be you paid this tax on physical things you bought for your business, similar to sales tax. Now you pay it on 100% of the items you buy, think shopify, aws, google, etc. Even if your team is remote you pay 10% sales tax on 100% of these purchases no matter where peole are located.

But the real kicker, was they expanced this law to be a tax that applies to all digital advertising. Run FB ads in Germany? You pay WA state a 10% tax. Overnight that is a+$200K a year tax that did not exist last year. Again not even based in where your ads run or where your team is. Incorporated in WA state? You will pay this tax.

What makes this sad is all political diversity disappeared years ago. It's that debate that keeps government from taking everything. One political team has run the state for +30 years and Seattle for more than 50 years. This train has been coming for years and is now accelerating. WA government can never have enough $.

I hope there is a new generation of company builders who see this is an opportunity and can run into the burning building.

Holy shit. Wow.

This is HANDS DOWN the best take I’ve heard.

If there is one video you listen to today it’s this one.

Every single word of this and it’s a huge “f*ck you” to @antonioguterres for propping up the barbaric terrorist Islamic Regime in Iran.

Must be shared everywhere in my opinion.

Activist: "Every cow adds carbon to the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Only if the total number of cows is increasing."
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "Stable populations are carbon neutral. Methane breaks down in twelve years back to CO2. Same CO2 the grass absorbed last year."
Activist: "But it's still emissions..."
Farmer: "It's a cycle. Carbon goes: grass to cow to methane to CO2 to grass. Round and round."
Activist: "That's not how it works."
Farmer: "That's exactly how the biogenic carbon cycle works."
Activist: "I've never heard of that."
Farmer: "Because admitting ruminants are climate neutral doesn't sell plant-based products."
Activist: "You're making this up."
Farmer: "Published research. Look up 'biogenic carbon cycle.' I'll wait."

Vancouver, WA Police Chief Troy Price just laid down the law: **STOP interfering with officers during active operations!**

Interfering isn't just reckless—it's a felony that puts lives at risk, distracts cops, and endangers everyone involved.

He made it crystal clear in his video message: Let law enforcement do their jobs so they can protect the community.

The left melting down over this one is gonna be priceless. 😂😂

More chiefs need to step up and call out this nonsense. Back the blue! 💙

One group deliberately put themselves in danger by threatening police officers.

The other includes SOME of the actual victims—people who were harmed by illegal immigrants who aren’t supposed to be in our country at all.

Yet the left directs its outrage selectively, and the hypocrisy is both exhausting and morally bankrupt.

[Tricia McLaughlin @TriciaOhio]

A horrific smear.

ICE did NOT target, arrest a child or use a child as “bait.” ICE law enforcement officers were the only people primarily concerned with the welfare of this child. The father and alleged mother abandoned the child. Agitators scared the child.

On January 20, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias an illegal alien from Ecuador who was RELEASED into the U.S. by the Biden administration. As agents approached, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias fled on foot—abandoning his child. For the child’s safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended Conejo Arias. Our officer’s made multiple attempts to get the alleged mother who was inside the house to take custody of her child. Officers even assured her she would NOT be taken her into custody. The alleged mother refused to accept custody of the child. The father told officers he wanted the child to remain with him.  

During this situation, agitators swarmed the scene and began yelling and blowing horns, scaring the child.

“Our officers primary concern during the entire operation was the safety and welfare of the child. Following the mother’s abandonment of the child, officers abided by the father’s wishes to keep the child with him and even got the child McDonald’s and played his favorite music. Father and son are together at Dilley.

Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administration’s immigration enforcement. Parents can take control of their departure and receive a free flight and $2,600 with the CBP Home app. By using the CBP Home app illegal aliens reserve the chance to come back the right legal way.
