Worst. Generation. Ever.
They’ve received more government benefits than any other generation and won’t leave without decimating public goods for everyone else.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

You can either have a first-world, high-trust society with effective social welfare programs.
Or you can have third-world mass immigration.
But you can't have both.

🚨BREAKING: Hungarian Prime Minister sends a message to the EU:
"Perhaps it is now clear to everyone why Hungary has the strictest possible approach to migration, and why we will NOT weaken our border protection or immigration policy under any pressure." 🇭🇺🇫🇷

Oct 18, 1776. Pelham, New York, in today's Bronx and Westchester. A brigade of Massachusetts fishermen stands behind stone walls and holds back an army five times its size. Most Americans have never heard of it.
Six days earlier, Edward Hand's riflemen had stopped Gen. William Howe's landing at Throgs Neck by pulling up a bridge. Howe sat there for days. Then he loaded his troops back on boats and moved a few miles up the coast to try again at Pell's Point, still trying to get behind Washington's army as it pulled off Manhattan toward White Plains.
Waiting for him was Col. John Glover and about 750 men of his Massachusetts brigade. A lot of them were fishermen and sailors from Marblehead and other coastal towns. They were the same men who had rowed Washington's army across the East River to escape from Long Island in August. Two months later they'd row him across the Delaware.
That morning Glover spotted the British boats coming in. Around 4,000 British and Hessian troops. Glover later admitted he'd have given anything to have an experienced general with him.
So he made his own plan, and it was a good one. The road inland from the landing ran between old stone walls. Glover posted his regiments behind those walls, one behind the other, spread out along the road.
When the British advance came up the road, the first regiment waited until they were close, fired volleys from behind the wall, and fell back. The British pushed on and ran straight into the next regiment behind the next wall. It fired and fell back too. Then the next one. Again and again, the British had to stop, form up, and attack a wall, only to find another one waiting.
The fighting went on through the day. When Glover finally pulled his men back, he'd lost around 8 killed and 13 wounded. British and Hessian losses were much higher, though exactly how many is still argued about.
The real win was time. Howe's advance was stalled for the day, and he moved slowly afterward. Washington got his army safely to White Plains.
Glover's men had saved Washington's army at Long Island. They helped save it here at Pell's Point. And in December they rowed it across the ice-choked Delaware to Trenton. Not bad for a bunch of fishermen.
We just wanted to have a life like our parents and grandparents did. Raise a family in your hometown, be a productive member of society, be a good neighbor.
Instead we have to worry about the collapse of civilization.

I'm done being tolerant.

They hate our country, they hate our families, they hate our society, they steal our tax dollars, they don't learn our language, they attack us...
Why are we putting up with this?!

When soldiers turned on their own command Washington answered with the firing squad.
In January 1781, after the Pennsylvania Line mutiny had been settled by negotiation, about 200 to 300 New Jersey Continentals at Pompton rose in revolt. Emboldened by unpaid wages, short rations, and the earlier concessions, they left camp and marched toward Trenton to demand redress.
Washington, determined not to let mutiny become a common occurrence, he ordered Major General Robert Howe to march with several hundred reliable troops, surround the camp and force unconditional submission. He explicitly directed that a few of the most active leaders be executed on the spot if the mutineers surrendered.
On January 27, Howe’s force appeared at dawn, trained cannon on the huts, and ordered the men to assemble unarmed. Three sergeants were named as ringleaders, given a summary court martial in the snow and sentenced to death. David Gilmore and John Tuttle were immediately shot by a firing squad while George Grant was spared after testimony that he had tried to stop the revolt.
The message was clear and immediate. Order was restored and the remaining troops returned to duty. Washington had chosen swift, public executions over leniency to keep the army intact when the war still hung in the balance.
