Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.
@SheaWitTheSay Boohoo….she asked you to give up the show and stop talking about her and she did neither. Empty words because she know that cant happen.
@feelgoodtale That happened to my Dad a few months after my Mom died. They had just moved up here and he didnt know anyone. He had a panic attack and called 911 thinking it was heart attack and when he was released at 5 AM he had no way home and they let him walk home several miles.
Omg. I just had quite an experience at the CVS pharmacy. An older lady, probably around my mom's age (74) she there to recieve her seasonal shots. As I was standing in the checkout line I heard the pharmacist say this one is your pneumococcal shot, this one is your influenza shot, and this one is your covid shot. After the pharmacist injected the 3rd shot she began having tremors (not seizures) and fell out of her seat, smacked her head on the floor. I get out of line and down on the floor while they were calling EMS. HOLY SHIT. She wasn't breathing, but had a strong pulse around 86. I've always made it a habit to carry a pocket face mask with me, I asked a guy in line to get on the floor and directed him how to hold c spine correctly. I gave rescue breaths until the Paramedics arrived (I know the whole crew) as they are putting the bvm together, I'm still giving rescue breaths. They have her hooked up to the cardiac monitor. Heart rate and 12 lead are unremarkable, , they opted to intubate her before transfering her to the gurney, while another medic started an IV. They left CVS 10-18 (emergency traffic) I just recieved a call that this 6 echo call (not breathing) turned into a 9 echo (full cardiac arrest) I'm praying they get her back🙏🏻
@SenWarren My grandfather built McCormick Spices from nothing after your ancestors tomahawked his wife and kids. I'll be damned if you take another scalp from my family fortune!
Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,
My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.
The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.
I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.
I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.
Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.
Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.
Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.
A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.
This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.
There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.
Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.
I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.
This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.
Three things would change the math overnight.
Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.
End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.
Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.
I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.
Respectfully,
Everett A. Stern

BOOO!! KID ROCK SAID THE TRUTH!!!
"We are not, and we will never be, 'One Nation Under Mohammed' — because we are, and we always will be, ONE NATION UNDER GOD!"
TOM BRADY AND PEYTON MANNING HAD THE GREATEST RIVALRY IN SPORTS HISTORY.
One of the funniest back-and-forth exchanges between two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.
These two will never stop going at each other.
🤣🤣🤣
I retweeted this negatively. Yes, I watched the clip before I did. After listening again, I’m man enough to admit I was wrong. This is not what he was saying. Admittedly, he’s saying higher gas prices are a small price to pay to keep cities like Los Angeles and San Diego safe. If I demand accountability from leaders, I better be accountable myself. I apologize for spreading false narrative.
Deleted post griping about what Trump said about Los Angeles and San Diego being nuked by Iran. Now that I've seen the clip, it was clear that he simply wasn't speaking clearly, that he was WARNING that this could happen, not wishing for it. I apologize.
@1_and_only_Wade She is as morally responsible with her I want to kill her Caleb, I want her gone constant texts. She said as many awful things as he did and manipulated him with the I am done and I have a date each time he didnt leave. She may have been young but she knew…
It's insane to me that some people are going to vote for the politicians who created all their problems, just to spite the politicians who are fixing their problems...because they're fixing them slower than they'd hoped.
Elections have consequences, people. Trust me.
