The Mk. 48 Torpedo’s 650 pound warhead can be seen detonating under the Iranian Frigate’s stern.

Birthright citizenship tale... Our social circle in Maskachusetts included a guy married to a Honduran. Every time one of his wife's relatives is pregnant she comes to stay with them. When it is time to deliver the baby, the relative Ubers to one of the most expensive hospitals in the world, e.g., Beth Israel. She gives birth, says the magic words to avoid ever receiving a bill ("I'm undocumented"), and, after a few weeks, heads back to Honduras with baby, birth certificate, and U.S. passport. This one family has likely cost taxpayers at least $300,000 in payments to the hospital for "uncompensated care" and more than 10 U.S. citizens have been minted. When the kids are adults they have an automatic right to sponsor their parents for green cards, so eventually this one family will be responsible for perhaps 40 or 50 legal immigrants from Honduras to the U.S.

Francesca Hong was born to non-citizen immigrants. In other words, she has citizenship in the U.S. because she was born here when her parents were on student visas. And now she is running as a socialist in order to dismantle the American way of life.

Tell me more about how this isn’t a problem.

One of the reasons why the British had to give up Hong Kong in '97 rather than try to hold on to it is that so many mainlanders had poured onto the island and had children there who were birthright citizens and could thus pressure the British on behalf of the PRC, to which they remained loyal, while also exerting economic and demographic pressure

The Hong Kongers called them Locusts

Thus were elections swayed ot mainlander-friendly candidates, and the island filled with locusts loyal to the regime in Peking rather than the crown

Their presence helped make continued British presence and rule untenable

Below is a poster from Hong Kong warning of the presence of migrants

You can’t have borders because several Mediterranean countries use chickpeas in similar ways.

American anti-data-center populism is a tool of the CCP.

If you’re a politician in the middle of a political fight about data centers, pick a side. Do your duty as a leader and as an American!

@kenzietuff Lots of family members are looking at becoming expats. I can't do it. This is my home, and God willing it will be the only one I ever know.

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, including those whose parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily, striking down President Trump's executive order.

@pegobry_en @Vermeullarmine Same thing, if not a bit more verbose

[Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en]

This anchor baby thing feels pretty personal for me.

When my wife got pregnant the first time, I was already working for US-based media/company, and we seriously considered doing the anchor baby thing.

The reason we didn’t, ultimately, was moral: I just didn’t want to break the laws of a country I admired and loved.

This is why I’m so radicalized on illegal immigration: by definition ~anyone who chooses to do immigrate illegally is someone who’s not a good addition to a nation because they don’t have a mindset that values abiding by laws and norms.

It’s literally a test that selects *against* being a good future member of a society.

A UK family where both parents work full-time, pay full council tax, and earn enough to be 'doing alright' on paper, can't afford to take their kids to the Tower of London on a Saturday in 2026.

Two adult tickets and two child tickets at standard price comes to roughly £100. Add £40-£80 in train fares and £50-£70 for lunch — that's around £200 for a single Saturday at one tourist attraction in their own capital city.

A family on full Universal Credit, living in subsidised housing, paying no council tax, can take the same four people to the same Tower for £1 a ticket — £4 total — under the 'inclusive access' schemes most major UK attractions now run.

The working family pays the full £200 day out AND covers — through their taxes — the £196 discount the benefits family gets on the same trip.

Whatever the original intention of those schemes, this is the structure most UK working families are now living inside. Pay the full bill, then watch the people next door enjoy the day out you can't take your own kids to.

@kenzietuff It's mostly because people have given up hope that the Supreme Court will make the correct decision. It's mostly just buckling down and trying to mentally prepare for the fact that the decision will either give us a chance to fix the US, or (probably) damn us forever.

[The Trashman @trashcometh]

@Fat_Electrician Problem isn't even that. There's not enough people paying into the system to support all of the Boomers. At the start of Social Security there were about 16 workers per retiree. Now it's only 2 per retiree. So every 2 working adults are subsidizing the retirement of 1 Boomer.

@AngryCops It's more so that the Warp can be influenced by strong enough belief or faith. All human souls have a connection to the Warp, and if someone's belief/faith is potent enough it can result in supernatural powers or abilities manifesting similar to psychic powers.

@dumbfrenchrat Damn, won't be able to watch because it's the 4th of July (US Independence Day). I'll try to drop in and make a donation though!
