You clearly have zero understanding of how physics works so I’ll explain:

A bullet does not pass through air without interaction. As it travels, it continuously displaces and compresses the surrounding air molecules, generating pressure waves and a conical shockwave.

When the bullet eventually strikes a solid target, the majority of its remaining kinetic energy is transferred to the target itself through penetration, deformation, fragmentation, heat, and sound not primarily back into the air.

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.

The President has broad authority under INA § 212(f) to suspend entry of any class of aliens or impose any restrictions he deems appropriate whenever their entry would be detrimental to U.S. interests.

The Supreme Court upheld this expansive power in Trump v. Hawaii (2018), confirming the President can decide who enters, on what conditions, and for how long.

This includes the ability to require medical testing — such as pregnancy tests for women — as a condition of entry.

The statute is not limited to the specific health grounds in INA § 212(a)(1).

The President can define classes of aliens (including pregnant women and their spouses/families) whose entry is detrimental, for example due to birthright citizenship, public resource burdens (demonstrated through the % of them on welfare), or sovereignty concerns often described as an "invasion" through anchor babies.

More, by applying the requirement to the entire family unit, equal protection issues are avoided. The plenary power over immigration gives wide latitude for such measures.

This policy is fully within the President's legal authority under current law and precedent.

The question is, since Congress and the @Republicans @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP are fucking USELESS, will @POTUS have the sense and the balls to actually do something?

SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER RIGHT TO OWN ‘ASSAULT WEAPONS’

[The Watchfire Podcast @watchfirepod]

Today’s SCOTUS ruling on birthright citizenship is a travesty because the decision presumes we still have an agreed upon definition of “American.” It may settle who gets a title, but it does nothing to preserve what “citizen” is supposed to mean.

This excerpt is taken from Part 4, “Comfortable Servitude,” of my Repair Without Formation series on Substack and I think it’s pretty relevant to the SCOTUS news today.

How can we even define “citizen,” let alone “United States,” if the threshold for who makes up this country does not come with shared values, obligation, and some form of exclusivity? Being born here may confer legal citizenship, but it does not automatically make someone American in the deeper sense: formed by the country, loyal to it, grateful for it, and responsible for it’s defense and preservation. “American” as a legal title has been conflated with “American” as citizenship bound to action and responsibility. “Citizen” is not just a title. It is a duty. This concept has been lost.

Every aspect of what “American” means has been diluted: citizen is now treated as anyone born here, whether they are ever raised into duty to this country or not; civic education has collapsed; people are propagandized into hating a revisionist caricature of this nation’s history; and the result is adults who have no concept of duty and no desire to protect this country because they think America was simply made for them, rather than something they are responsible for maintaining.

Birthright citizenship is not where citizenship ends. It is where it begins. It should be the start of a journey toward stewardship, but it is not anymore. By this metric, what even is the United States other than a geographical location with a welfare program people expect to take from but aren’t expected to give back to?

The point is that birth does not make you who you are, and we are pretending that “citizen of the United States” is arbitrary and mostly meaningless. A SCOTUS decision like this is terrible because it assigns a title, not meaning. It keeps “American” in law while doing nothing to preserve what makes “American” worth having.

This is a problem for Congress to answer. We can get mad at SCOTUS all we want, but the branch of government meant to embody the representative form of our representative republic is where that anger and frustration must be directed. If Congress cannot act by ordinary statute, then it needs to pursue the constitutional path. If it will not do that, then it at least needs to repair the broken machinery around citizenship: immigration law, naturalization, civic education, border enforcement, and the actual formation of citizens.

They can and must do something, because whatever this has become cannot hold forever. You are part of that solution. Call your representatives and most importantly, be who you are supposed to be.

You should read the shit you endorse. The advice literally includes leaving the US. The entire thing is an appeal to fear with quite a bit of hyperbole that results in advice to financially diversify (smart) and that if things get bad enough, Americans should leave. Maybe *you* should study media literacy to help you for things like this.
