Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in 1903 had to pass a doctor’s exam that checked for diseases like tuberculosis and trachoma. In 1906, 12,432 people were turned away at the door. The ones who got in brought $25 MILLION in cash with them, because they knew nobody was going to hand them anything.
There was no welfare, no food stamps, and no Medicaid. They had to actually work, or they were sent back.
Also, Back in 1903 assimilation was the goal. Congress passed a law in 1906 requiring anyone who wanted citizenship to speak English, and companies like Ford ran their own schools to teach English, safety, and American history. A Ford English School diploma even counted toward a person’s citizenship application.
Back when we were a proper country.. 💔💔
Christianity is anti-socialism.
Christ didn’t command Caesar to heal the sick for free, cloth and house the poor by redistributing wealth.
Christ commanded believers to do those things. As individuals. Personal charity, personal responsibility.
You don’t get to outsource the work of the Holy Spirit to the civil magistrate and call it Christianity.
There is no party that represents me. Both democrats and republicans are far too left for me.
Here is where I truly stand.
I believe every illegal should be deported. No exceptions.
The border sealed shut, and all foreign workers deported until there are zero unemployed Americans or homeless Americans.
100% pause on foreign work visas.
All foreign aid should be eliminated, no exceptions.
There is no such thing as hate speech. Only speech people hate. With the only exception being threats of violence.
The 2nd amendment is absolute, all gun laws are an infringement.
Mass surveillance is tyranny.
No foreign born person should serve in any tax payer funded position.
Foreign wars are not our problem unless there is a direct threat to mainland America.
Taxation is extortion.
Taxation is theft is the moderates view.
The death penalty is not utilized enough. Epstiens buddies can’t reoffend without a pulse.
Every member of any Congress that fails to balance the budget should be banned permanently from holding any tax payer funded position again.
PACs and corporations should be banned from political donations. All political donations should come from a candidate’s constituents only.
Anyone parading their sexuality around in public should be labeled a pervert and put on a list. Keep that degeneracy behind closed doors where only people who want to see can see it, as long as they are adults, if it’s In front of children you’re a groomer.
Any politician voting in favor of laws, resolutions, in favor of a foreign country, or displaying a foreign flag is a traitor to our nation.
Government should be small enough that every agency director can perform their job from the same room at the same time.
I shouldn’t need a license or permit to source my own food.
This is why I despise both sides. They are both left wing.
Pretty much every rich person knows the US dollar is a scam.
They usually got rich by figuring out how to benefit from the government’s lack of discipline.
Just because no one has had the balls to actually take the #Iran threat seriously does not mean there hasn't been a war waged. America finally just showed up, about 40 years late, and we are still kicking their ass!!
People disagreeing with the "Iran war" is like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand when a potential threat shows up. If Canada said and did the things Iran says and does I think ALL Americans would take it as an act of war.
So 30-50% of your income goes to taxes
and 20-50% of your investment profits,
they're also going to steal 30% of your money saved, and that's only in 6 years.
🚨 BREAKING: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is running MAJOR DAMAGE CONTROL after he just got fully exposed fabricating "measles deaths" for two newborns
RESIGN, NOW!
Not only were the deaths NOT CAUSED by measles — but the newborns were called "unvaccinated" despite being BELOW the age where any baby would even get vaccinated for measles!
The attempt: to make it seem like Sec. RFK Jr. CAUSED the deaths.
Freaking despicable. This guy is NOT fit to be governor, much less president
He's pulling the COVID playbook, but almost worse. Step down!
I find most investors overthink their portfolio.
You really only need to understand two things to make a lot of money over the next 15-20 years:
1. The government won’t stop printing money.
2. We are merging the industrial economy with technology into a world where every machine can see, hear, think, and act.
You position yourself to benefit from those two things and your grandkids will be very happy.
@CaryKelly11 One thing that needs to change, student loans need to be discharged via bankruptcy. Dis-incentivise banks/finance companies from giving these loans in the first place
@Maga4liberty Voting is a privilege not a right... It costs you nothing for me to own a weapon. If you vote it costs someone time to count your vote. Why should my time be free? It literally cost you no time, no nothing for me to purchase a weapon, just me and a seller agreeing to do commerce
Lately I've seen a lot of Bitcoiners talking about how bad the sentiment is. Here are my thoughts:
You better be using this time wisely.
Right now, you get to see who the real Bitcoiners are. The people still building in this space right now are the ones who truly care about freeing the world from monetary prison.
We don't *just* care about the fiat gains.
Yes, OF COURSE we do care about fiat gains. Anyone who says they don't care about NGU is lying. But that time is not now.
That time will come.
What I care about most is doing the best I can to make sure my country is no longer financially raped by an elitist, parasitic, unconstitutional monetary system that our founding fathers warned against.
The most beautiful thing about the bull/bear cycles is that those who truly understand Bitcoin, those who continue to build during a bear market while sentiment is low and hope feels lost - these people will be the ones becoming the most successful.
Why? Because we are acquiring Bitcoin while the price is lower, while nobody cares about it.
We are building right now while others are distracted with whatever else they're being mentally programmed to feel "hyped" about.
Really quite a notable phenomenon. Bitcoin rewards those who reject the masses.
I've been in this for a decade now. I don't give a shit about bear markets. I like them.
I am devoting all of my time to build with the team at @BULLBITCOIN_ and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. We know where the world is headed, we know Bitcoin is the next global reserve currency, we actually give a shit about privacy, and we're not funded by sketchy VCs like so many other companies are (Bull has been bootstrapped since 2013).
Now is the time to build, form alliances, help each other out, and prepare for the inevitable adoption of Bitcoin.
The world's most powerful country (USA) and the country it's at war with (Iran) are BOTH pro-Bitcoin...and you're bearish?
The world order is changing and Bitcoin is at the epicenter of this change.
You will look back on these days and wish you did more.
So, do more.
🧵New Orleans just proved failing schools can be fixed at scale.
It became America’s first all-charter school district.
The results are staggering:
• 99th percentile nationally in reading growth
• 98th percentile in math growth
• The only state in America beating pre-pandemic levels in both subjects
This is what real reform looks like. THREAD 🧵
@porterstansb The first book of yours I read was America 2020.... And it got me hooked on economics & monetary policy as way to predict future outcomes. Kinda eerie how accurate that timeline was👀
@EricLDaugh Maybe if Cornyn would have actually pushed forward freedom for his constituents and their individual liberties, he wouldn't be getting fired👀
