Quote from: JOE on September 13, 2024, 12:22:41 PMYes I agree with that measure Herman Herm.

If the US doesn't do that now they'll be forced to 1 day.

I don't think its racist to end unrestricted citizenship by birthright since Australia & the UK already have. But nobody condemns them for introducing those restrictions.

Maybe caskur caskur can confirm that? I know Australia takes a really hard line on illegal migrants because if they didn't their country would get flooded or invaded by millions of migrants.

Oi JOEJ ...Joe! I'm going to explain this one more time, and the prime reason why we don't want our Great Southern Land flooded or "invaded" as such. Listen now...

While arid and semi-arid regions may account for 70 per cent of Australia's landmass, only 30 per cent of Australia is both fertile and habitable.

Do you understand you delusional halfwit??

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that 435,719 aliens convicted of crimes have been released into the United States, including 13,100 convicted of murder, 10,000 for robbery, 15,800 for sexual assault, and 62,231 for assault. None of these individuals are in custody, the report said.

Brave new world we live in.

MSNBC host Ari Melber expressed shock on Wednesday when a star witness at Donald Trump's first impeachment inquiry endorsed the former president.

In 2019, Gordon Sondland, then-United States ambassador to the United Nations, testified as a key witness in Trump's first impeachment inquiry in which Trump was accused of abusing his power as president by withholding military support from Ukraine unless Ukraine investigated Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Sondland's testimony implicated Trump and other top administration officials. However, two days after the Senate acquitted Trump, Sondland was fired.

Despite being fired, Sondland still supported Trump. But that changed after Jan. 6.

"No, I don't stand by it, and I'll tell you why," Sondland answered. "I've now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies, and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country's way of life but to our allies as well."

That answer sent Melber into a frenzy of interrupting Sondland and shouting.

J.D. Vance, in September, outlined the idea of freezing the war in Eastern Europe by establishing autonomous regions on both sides of the demilitarized zone and leaving Ukraine outside NATO, according to the FT.

According to one of Trump's longtime advisors, the new plan would rethink the failed Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015, which were never implemented. The agreements contained a plan that would autonomous zones in Russian occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Occupied Crimea was not mentioned in the Minsk Agreement.

The new plan will include enforcement mechanisms and consequences for violating the agreement, the adviser said. But, in his opinion, European troops, not NATO forces or UN peacekeepers, will have to keep order.

"There are two things America will insist on. We will not have any men or women in the enforcement mechanism. We're not paying for it. Europe is paying for it," he added.

Faced with higher food prices, higher housing costs, and a feeling that the economy wasn't working for them, American voters backed Trump.

Pundits who can't fathom why anyone would ever vote for Trump need to remember what James Carville, a strategist for Bill Clinton, said in 1992, "It's the economy, stupid." For anyone trying to understand the election results, really it is that simple.

The team approach of having Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign for him, reaching out to people concerned about health and big pharma – not normally Republican issues, certainly helped. Having Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential hopeful, run a secondary campaign reaching out to Democrats, independents and women wary of Harris was a smart move.

"Is it easier for you to go buy things in the stores than it was four years ago?" Reagan asked in that 1980 debate with Jimmy Carter.

In many ways, Trump ran that as the main theme of his campaign, and it worked. The Democrats pushed issues like abortion or Trump being a threat to democracy, and that didn't resonate beyond their base, people who were already voting for Kamala Harris.

The problem with this way of thinking is it legitimizes the 2020 election. Trump won that election. The democRATs pumped in about 20 to 26 MILLION extra illegitimate votes. Some of those votes were batches where biden got way more than 90% of the votes, a statistical impossibility.

Trump simply won this time for the same reason he won the last 2 times. People dont buy the democRAT tranny lovin, high taxation, man hating, kill your baby, bullshit. You can bet your ass that if the democRATs could have pumped in 25 million votes for Harris, they would have and the narrative would be that democRATs have a mandate to put down MAGA.

Trump won because the democRATs didnt have the means to cheat it like 2020.

Republicans were proactive this time.

Trump is expected to tap Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state, sources said on Monday, putting the Florida-born politician on track to be the first Latino to serve as America's top diplomat.

Rubio, 53, has said in recent interviews that Ukraine needs to seek a negotiated settlement with Russia rather than focus on regaining all territory that Russia has taken in the last decade. He was also one of 15 Republican senators to vote against a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, passed in April.

Trump promised repeatedly to pardon hundreds of people caught up in the events of January 6, 2021. For those who marched peacefully through the Capitol, like Steve Baker, it's time for the nightmare to end.

Trump announced Monday that he will appoint former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) to run the Environmental Protection Agency. With Zeldin at the helm, the EPA will likely drop its climate alarmist outlook, maintain meaningful environmental standards, and get out of the way of American innovation.

Kristi Noem will be Homeland Secretary. Mike Walz is the new NSA.

I want Trump to do that the moment he's sworn in. It's an absolute disgrace that this country is holding it's own citizens as political prisoners.

Canada did the same with peaceful protestors. The only thing that stopped it is when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act to stop legitimate protests was of course illegal.
