[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

The American Revolution was first and foremost about an overbearing government, taxing without representation, and suffocating the "common man" with its unbridled power.

The House of Commons passes the Tea Act

On this day in history, April 27, 1773, the House of Commons passes the Tea Act, an act which would lead to the Boston Tea Party and plunge Great Britain and her American colonies into war. The colonists in America had complained about taxes before. They did not mind paying taxes. Rather, their disagreement was with who had the authority to tax them. Since they had no representatives in Parliament, they believed it was unjust for Parliament to tax them. Instead, the proper bodies to tax them should be their own elected assemblies.

When the Stamp Act was passed in 1765, the colonists protested its taxes to the point of violence. When Parliament finally repealed the Act, it passed along with it an act called the Declaratory Act, which reaffirmed Parliament's right to tax the colonies in whatever way it saw fit. While most celebrated the repeal of the Stamp Act, some saw an ominous sign in the Declaratory Act of more taxes to come.

More taxes did indeed come with the Townshend Acts of 1767, which levied taxes on paper, lead, glass painters' colors and tea. The colonists responded by protesting and boycotting British goods as usual, forcing Parliament to repeal all of the Townshend Acts' taxes in 1770, except for the tax on tea, which the colonists continued to boycott. The boycott especially affected the British East India Company, which shipped tea from India to Britain and her colonies.

British policy forced the East India Company to ship tea to England first where it was taxed upon import. Then the tea had to be sold in London markets to merchants who shipped it to America where it was taxed again. The multiple taxes and the middlemen merchants caused the price of tea to be very high by the time it reached consumers in America. This opened up a large market for smuggled Dutch tea, which was much cheaper. By the early 1770s, the East India Company was struggling to survive, with warehouses full of tea it couldn't sell because its price was undercut in the colonies by Dutch tea.

In order to prevent the East India Company from going bankrupt, Parliament came up with a scheme called the Tea Act, first passed by the House of Commons on April 27, 1773 and passed into law with King George's signature on May 10. The Tea Act allowed the Company to ship tea directly to the colonies, bypassing the London middlemen and the London duties. The only tax that remained was on the colonies' end and that tax was quite small. This new scheme greatly reduced the price of British tea. If the colonists bought the lower priced tea, they would also be tacitly agreeing to the notion that Parliament did indeed have the right to tax them.

The colonists, however, no matter how small the tax, had no intention of paying unjust taxes to Britain. They recognized the scheme immediately as an attempt to bribe them into giving Parliament authority to tax them in exchange for cheap goods. The colonists responded by forbidding tea ships from entering their harbors, culminating with the Boston Tea Party, during which 42 tons of tea were dumped into Boston Harbor in protest.

Britain responded in force by passing the Coercive Acts, which closed Boston Harbor and shut down the Massachusetts government, until the tea was paid for. Known as the Intolerable Acts in the colonies, these Acts led directly to the formation of the First Continental Congress to plan a joint colonial response. The American Revolution broke out in full fury shortly afterwards.

🚨 A foreigner truck driver is seen peeling off the company name and DOT number off his truck and switching it to a new company

The new company he changed it to is DH Trucking LLC in Dearborn Heights, Michigan

I looked up the company and it’s operating authority status is “NOT AUTHORIZED”

This means the company does not currently have active federal authority to haul freight for hire across state lines. It’s only allowed to operate inside the state

This needs to be investigated, you have a foreigner swapping out trucking companies on his truck, and the new company isn’t even authorized to cross state lines

Foreigners couldn’t care less about our laws

The company is:

D H Trucking LL
USDOT: 2503008
Physical address: 19250 Plymouth Rd, Detroit, MI 48228
Phone: [phone]
Company officer: Hameed Alburkat

Former FBI, Director James Comey and I are both charged with the same crime; lying to Congress .He is allowed to turn himself in 10 days after being charged in private .My home is raided by 29 FBI agents at 6 AM to arrest me. CNN is there to film it LIVE

Ilhan Omar's home is raided at 6 AM. CNN does nothing but complain about it as a threat to democracy.

Two tiered Justice?

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Ilhan Omar may have never been a legitimate U.S. citizen, but she was allowed to vote on 3,000+ bills in Congress, including immigration legislation.

A foreigner who broke immigration law herself should have no role in deciding new ones.

This can never happen again.

Insane.

[Walter Curt @wcdispatch]

I know people are celebrating that the Trump admin is actually seeking to denaturalize & Deport Ilhan Omar.

However,

If this actually does happen, we are going to have to discuss its implications.

A third world immigrant defrauded our country, and got herself elected to Congress.

And the Democrat party helped her every step of the way, made her a media darling, and STILL defend her to this very moment.

That deserves attention as it is significantly more serious than just saying “haha deport her”.

Everyone involved in the scam must answer for it.

The "far-right" is developing flying cars, spaceships, and epic military technology.

The far-left is sterilizing themselves, killing babies, and a death cult that does nothing but destroy.

We are not the same.

I’ll never forget this.

From Ilhan to Walz and all the fraud in Minnesota.

The only Dem to vote to stop healthcare for illegals in Minnesota.

Somalians.

Melissa Hortman.

The deciding vote. Then killed.

Almost like she knew what was coming.

Hell of a coincidence…

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Honestly, Elon Musk is the only pioneer left who makes you truly inspired & amazed by innovation. Landing rockets backwards, driving cars upside down...it feels like our great American pioneer spirit went dormant since the Apollo missions, and we've felt stuck in time, but he's reawakened it...and for the first time in decades people are actually asking "what else is possible?" instead of this gloomy malaise of stagnation and planned obsolescence. Just the dumbest thing imaginable to bet against this guy.

[F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli]

We produced a list of 20,000 noncitizens on your voter rolls, and your response is “it’s too late” because you already mailed the ballots.

Not good enough. It’s a violation of the U.S. Constitution and federal law for California to dilute the votes of American citizens. One illegal ballot is too many.

We will see you in court.

[Larry Elder @larryelder]

“Ask yourself a simple question. Why is almost every celebrity on the same side?

“Actors, singers, late-night hosts, award-show presenters. Thousands of people with different backgrounds, different lives, different temperaments. And somehow, on every major issue, they land on the exact same opinion, at the exact same moment, with the exact same hashtags. Free minds don't behave like that. An ecosystem does.

“Now ask a second question. Elon Musk is landing rockets on their own tails. He's bringing internet to villages that never had a phone line. He's building cars that drive themselves and implants that let paralyzed people move a cursor with their thoughts. Artists are supposed to be the ones who dream about the future. Here is a man actually building it. How many of them stand next to him? A handful. Why?

“Because Hollywood is not a free market of talent. It's a royal court.

“A young actor doesn't make it because he's good. Hundreds are good. He makes it because someone lets him in: an agent, a casting director, a producer, a studio, an awards committee. Every step is a gate, and every gate has a keeper. When your whole career depends on a few rooms, you learn very quickly what can be said in those rooms and what can't.

“This is how it works. First you stay silent. Then you nod. Then you repeat. Then you believe. Compromise never arrives all at once. It arrives one dinner, one role, one red carpet at a time. And once you've given up enough, you need the system to stay in place, because the system is the only thing that makes the sacrifice worth it.

“Want to see the whole mechanism in a single story? For decades, one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood was the subject of accusations from dozens of women, and much of the industry treated it as an open secret. A host even joked about it at an Oscar nominations announcement, and the room laughed. Speaking up seriously meant losing everything. When the truth finally broke, the same industry dressed in black and applauded its own courage. Silence while it pays. Virtue once it's safe. That's the system.

“And that's the real lie. Not that these people are monsters. Most aren't. The lie is calling it courage. Real courage costs you something. Saying what every room in town already applauds costs nothing. Saying the opposite is what costs. That's why so few artists stand with Elon. Not because they've studied his ideas and rejected them, but because standing there is a career risk they can't afford.

“Look at what happened to him when he left the consensus. Advertisers fled. Friends disappeared. Invitations stopped. He could afford it. Almost nobody else can. That tells you exactly how free that world really is.

“So wake up. Stop taking your political cues from people whose paycheck depends on agreeing. A celebrity endorsement is not an argument. It's a loyalty signal. Your vote, your convictions, your children's future: don't outsource them to people who are paid to recite lines someone else wrote.

“The people who build the future rarely get applause from the people who perform it.

“Think for yourself. It's the most American thing you can do.”

Cal State San Marcos just used taxpayer-funded emergency text alert system to warn students that ICE was within a mile of campus. Where? At a Ralphs grocery store.

ICE enforcing federal law is not automatically a public safety threat.

The Clery Act is about campus safety, not a political messaging system weeks before elections.

@CSUSM owes taxpayers an explanation.

[Chip Roy @chiproytx]

Author of the SAVE Act here.

Talarico lied to this man’s face.

He’s on the record fully aware of the bill and called Voter ID efforts racist.

Talarico would no doubt break from millions of Texans who support Voter ID and align with Schumer in a heartbeat.

Don’t buy it.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Denaturalize and deport, indeed. And do the same for all other "Americans" who adhere to ideologies that are seditious to our foundational principles. The First Amendment is not meant to be a form of Civilizational Seppuku. Please @SecRubio, wake Americans up.

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Nur Omar Mohamed (Ilhan Omar's father for those who don't know) was a Marxist that got his military education in the Soviet Union

He was also a colonel in the Somali National Army under Siad Barre, who ruled Somalia as a military dictator from 1969 to 1991

His regime carried out a systematic campaign that murdered 200,000 innocent people

He fled the country in 1991 when the regime fell and came to America as a refugee with his family in 1995

So don't be fooled by the "Poor little Somali girl" routine

Her family WERE THE TYRANTS!!!
