🚨Governor DeSantis SLAMS Trump’s reversal on Mass Deportations and the idea that we should only deport illegal aliens who commit another crime!
“This idea that unless you're an axe murderer you should be able to stay that is not consistent with our laws and it's also not good policy. You know we have different people that are victimized by illegal aliens every day in this country!
Not all of them have criminal records at the time. In fact, probably most of them don't but under some view it's like okay yeah you come illegally and then you stay until you commit a really violent crime. That just doesn't work.”

I will no longer be debating Lindsay Clancy supporters. I will just be posting this video in reply to any of them.

In baseball (and I presume other sports), there was a saying that you aren’t supposed to read your own press clippings.
This is because allowing the praise to get to your head ultimately is bad for future performance.
Fauci not only read his own press clippings, he lived for them. He twisted scientific data so that he could advocate policies that kept him front and center. It was all about him.
The Fauci press clippings also show how the legacy media frequently elevates the worst people, while reserving a special hostility to those who do good, seeking to “knock” such people down a peg or two.
"I'm a Rock Star": I've gone through both Fauci diaries & compiled the 112 most embarrassing examples of Fauci flattering his own ego. (Thanks again to @RandPaul for bringing us these treasure troves.)

Oh, look...another corrupt Democrat in Arizona! Shocking...not.
“Chickengate.” This story’s got wings — and more than a taste of scandal. Arizona Sen. Kiana Sears called out for using position to get $1500 worth of fried chicken. Story by @tjlheureux0 via @arizonaagenda

If you think Minnesota childcare fraud is bad, just wait until you see all the corruption that results from this. I see kickbacks, bribes, and self-dealing galore coming down the road. That's on top of this discouraging developers from building any new housing.
NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits.
“For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards.
Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

Lindsey is really stressed about the possibility of the war ending. He might have to go creepily wander around Disney World again to calm himself.
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution.
This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel.
Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability.
It is important we get this right.

It appears that in 2019 Politico went from "Me Too" to "Meh." Michael Trujillo says that they had the story, but (when Swalwell dropped out of the presidential race) "the energy disappeared to potentially take him out." So allegedly raping women was no longer a story?...

The Trump Administration needs to come out today and say the DIGNIDAD Act will not become law. The longer this is out there, the more momentum it gets. The more momentum it gets, the more the base gets disenfranchised.
Kill this. Now.

The thing about all these Eric Swalwell revelations is that ALL of them were known for years. But the media worked with the Democrat establishment to keep them quiet as long as Swalwell was useful.
Now, because the California governor race has become a fiasco that might actually lead to a Republican winning unless a couple of Dems drop out to consolidate the vote, he needs to go. And like clockwork, here comes the orchestrated campaign of sexual harassment claims to end his career.
To be sure, Swalwell is garbage and deserves everything bad that's coming to him. But it's just amazing how the Democrats can just push a button and the machinery of the media and legal system just springs into action to eject someone from the party.
This is a guy who was caught sleeping with a Chinese spy for years, with actual evidence that he compromised national security in the process, and he remained completely protected and elevated as a major national figure. But as soon as the math stops working on the CA governor race, it all collapses underneath him.
Wild stuff.
This is all true.
I certainly can. We have a shitty Congress because he effectively canceled even deep red state primaries by endorsing do nothing hacks early.
I told everyone in 2024 that we had 2 years and 2 years only and we would be handicapped by the worst “Republican” Congress ever thanks to Trump.
And I say all of that but really, because Trump is responsible for Congress, they do whatever he says. He is their king maker and if he says jump, they say how high.
Whatever we haven’t accomplished in Congress is because Trump didn’t really want it.

Florida voters...you need to get rid of this woman. You now know exactly what she is. You must vote in the primary and show her the door. Otherwise, don't whine about the consequences. We need to get rid of the other 19 sponsors as well...and anybody who votes for it.

The illegal immigration issue is not difficult or complex or nuanced. If they came here illegally, they need to leave. That's it. End of story.
"But what if they've been here for 10 years???"
They need to leave.
"But what if they haven't committed any other crimes???"
Leave.
"But what if they have a family???"
Leave.
This isn't hard at all. We have laws in this country. You broke the law. You don't belong here. Nothing personal. But get the hell out.
It should not be hard for elected Republicans to articulate this point. If they do have trouble articulating it -- if they take any position on illegal immigration except for this -- they can also go. That's not complicated either.
It's amnesty. This must be stopped, and Republicans backing this must be removed from office.
Here’s Rep. Salazar explaining that the Dignity Act is mass amnesty.
“What we need to do is allow them to stay.”
“At some point in the future, another legislator will write another law to give them a path to citizenship.”

It’s actually not called the “Dignity Act”
It’s called the “DIGNIDAD Act”
It’s in a foreign language for added insult.
Every republican on this list... and every republican who doesn't oppose this bill... should be voted out of office. No exceptions.
