Bummer. Most things I post in this thread I try to verify. This one was fun and I posted. Thanks for the correction. Good for Brazil!

With all this available evidence, why no court has touched this? Are we so corrupt that we are beyond the point of no return? Are we a true Banana republic? I know some here have said that we need to get on the ball with Ballot Harvesting, if that is the case then we will never win another election.

I'm asking, and I have not finished watching this video (which BTW I will finish tonight).

There’s a risk in bringing in people from abroad, who may not buy into the system in place. Closed societies like China are closed for a reason.

I don't believe that US citizens have a clue as to what the the long term effects will be from allowing millions of people from abroad to enter this country unchecked. Time will tell whether it is US, or Chinese immigration policy that offers a country a better chance of survival.

Something to think about this Monday.

We have quite a head start in figuring out how to deal with immigrants. People have been coming here for 400+ years and for good reason. It’s great here! China’s last experience with mass immigration was the Mongol invasion! In comparison China’s offer to potential immigrants is a job in a police state. My money’s on us!

 

[mdwest]

I dunno...

While I love the fact that we are a nation of immigrants.. a land of opportunity.. etc..

I sorta wish a whole lot of the people that have come here over the last 20-30 years would've gone to China instead...

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".. is something I can get behind... I absolutely support that..

The folks coming here chanting "Give me some free stuff!".. I'd prefer they stay home or go somewhere else..

I hope China is not using our lack of border security to place sleeping cells in our country for when the time comes. Think of 9-11. How about all those police stations, and China buying property around military installations.

My farm workers said when they came across the border in mid-February they saw ALOT of Chinese mixed in with the people trying to come in illegally. It makes them (my guys) really mad that they are coming the right way and everyone else just walks across the border with no consequences.

 

[Doug3006]

Let me be clear, an open border is insanity. It’s an invitation to drug and human smuggling. It floods us with people who are unqualified for all but the most menial jobs. My comments are regarding the ability of China to assimilate large numbers of LEGAL immigrants vs the ability of the US.

Governor Desantis of Florida is in the middle of a legal battle as we speak because he is trying to prevent the purchase of property in Florida by nationals of certain countries, China being one of them.
I don't know all of the details and it may only apply to properties close to a military installation or something similar. It looks like the Governor recognizes a threat ignored by others.

I was not referring to that small percentage of legal immigrants willing to assimilate. I was referring to the unchecked millions entering this country illegally which are doing irreversible damage. I agree with what you said about the risk of bringing people in from abroad.
We ain't seen nothing yet.

A few years back I stopped viewing it as them fleeing California, and started viewing it as them invading Texas.

And Nevada. They are slithering in more and more and spewing their liberal filth.

To stir the Ukraine pot some more, what's the deal with Musk taking down Starlink, preventing a drone strike on Russian naval assets? Saw that reported on Varney's show this morning.

To stir the Ukraine pot some more, what's the deal with Musk taking down Starlink, preventing a drone strike on Russian naval assets? Saw that reported on Varney's show this morning.

Not sure it is stirring the pot - it happened back in October 2022 during Ukraine's first effort to strike the Russian fleet with naval drones. As a result of unexpected loss of connectivity several drones washed ashore which of course eliminated the opportunity for an initial surprise first strike. The article below is pretty thorough.

And this offers Musk's perspective. Shame, but I get Musk's view of the situation. Regrettably Ukraine was unaware of his decision prior to launching the attack.

Musk says blocked Ukraine attack on Russian warships

WASHINGTON: US tech billionaire Elon Musk says he prevented Ukraine from wiping out Russia's Black Sea navy fleet last year by denying Starlink internet access - a revelation that prompted a furious response from Kyiv on Friday (Sep 8). The satellite-based communications system Starlink...

I haven’t decided if Musk is a force for good or not. I have very mixed feelings about him. Brilliant? No doubt. But I’m never sure whose side he’s on.

October '22. WOW! Fox is right on top of things.

In fairness, the full back story just broke today.

Start worrying when you become sure.

On the fleet thing. Just being honnest, as tough as most, I still would worry about some guy asking me to borough my car so he could sink the Russian fleet. Or I guess, not asking me, and my finding out just in time to protect my keys. Most people won't testify against organized crime let alone blow up the Russian fleet. Though he may not be a person in the sense most of us are.
