Doing That

You almost have to admire how far some Republicans are willing to go to lose the 2026 midterms — and ultimately, the country. Throughout their recent two-week vacation, several GOP lawmakers have been making the media rounds to tout “bipartisan” legislation they claim will finally solve America’s broken immigration system. There’s just one teensy-weensy important detail that somehow gets brushed aside: The bill would allow millions of illegal aliens to continue living in the United StatesSponsored by Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and other lawmakers, the so-called DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act permits “certain long-term undocumented immigrants to earn legal status, without amnesty or a path to citizenship”

What I find unsettling is that there are voting communities undergirding all these hare-brained ideas, and the politicians proposing them... ranging from wholesale amnesty; to men in womens' sports, bathrooms and locker rooms; to the whole sad gamut of inanities and insanities we read about every day...Yeats was prescient when he wrote "The Second Coming."

I want to hear President Trump's opinion. He gets a little soft on this subject. I want America and Americans taken care of first. If there is even one veteran on the street (or all other needs), send them home and let them apply, but they need to get in line, no cutting. So the sooner they leave, the sooner they can get in line. No special treatment, it's an insult to those who did it lawfully.

Pass the SAVE Act first. Get that done. Then if you want to try to solve the immigration problem, you need to start with at least a 10 year wait in the back of the existing line for those in the process of becoming a U.S. Citizen. My understanding that line is about a 10 year wait, so they can adjust their 7 year to 10 years wait time. This would NOT be amnesty since amnesty would be immediate and more in line with what happened in 1986 when Republicans were fooled into thinking they would get the Democrat promised reforms. Besides, we still don't have a full handle on the open door policy of unvetted immigration under Biden administration which is why I suggest at least a 10 year wait for processing.

No matter what the political backers of this latest amnesty try are claiming, both Democrats and wimpy Republicans, to illegal aliens it is just another amnesty that will allow them to stay in the USA and qualify for all sorts of public welfare benefits provided through taxes upon the American people. The history of previous such amnesties shows that they served as encouragement and an invitation for growing masses of aliens to enter the USA unlawfully. When Reagan was President he signed into law the 1986 amnesty that granted a legal immigration status to over three million illegal aliens, now with this new amnesty bill they believe it could legalize about ten to fifteen million illegal aliens. So you can see that amnesties simply cause more mass uncontrolled illegal immigration, as aliens sneak into the country and hide out to await the next amnesty! During the buildup to the 1968 amnesty the leftist Democrats falsely claimed that they would support Federal immigration law enforcement, but after that amnesty was passed into law the leftist Democrats never did support immigration law enforcement. Of course the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats do not want any illegal aliens to be deported, or the Federal immigration laws to be effectively enforced, and in that respect want the Federal law enforcement agencies that enforce the immigration laws, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) and the US Border Patrol (CBP) to be abolished, and instead want all illegal aliens to qualify for a Democrat designed amnesty and to be transitioned through “a path to citizenship” to become a massive foreign born leftist Democrat constituency to keep the leftist Democrats in majority political power on into the future. As for the wimpy Republicans, the reason that a bunch of them are already touting that they will support this proposed amnesty as they love illegal alien cheap labor, and the resulting kickbacks from employers of illegal aliens into their campaign coffers.

This made my blood boil: “Aside from the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that they never effectively sold to voters, Republicans have virtually nothing to show for their congressional majorities. The Senate GOP still hasn’t passed the SAVE America Act, rogue judges continue to go unpunished, many of Trump’s executive orders haven’t been codified into law, and other conservative priorities remain untouched.”

There is a term floating around online right now that you might not understand. But plenty of people in MAGA know exactly what it means to be “black-pilled.” What exactly is it? Well, it means to slide past skepticism and frustration into full-on defeatism.

A Biden-appointed federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary amnesty for thousands of Ethiopian nationals in the U.S. since 2022. In a ruling on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy described the Trump administration’s “termination” of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty for Ethiopian nationals as “unsurprising in light” of President Donald Trump’s executive order, Reuters reported. Murphy also noted that “the will of the President does not supersede that of Congress.” “Fundamental to this case—and indeed to our constitutional system—is the principle that the will of the President does not supersede that of Congress,” Murphy said. “Presidential whims do not and cannot supplant agencies’ statutory obligations.”

(The extra 0.1 is necessary to offset the deaths of children who never reach reproductive age.) This figure is called the “fertility rate.” Recent data shows that the fertility rate in the United States is nowhere near that 2.1 figure. It has instead dropped to an all-time low of about 1.6.

Hamas remains fully committed to jihad (holy war) and rejects disarmament. The "Board of Peace" is therefore confronting a harsh reality: Hamas, like Iran, is not motivated by deadlines, incentives, or promises of reconstruction. It is motivated by ideology and by war. In Hamas's worldview, the war is not about the Gaza Strip. It is about reshaping the Middle East -- and beyond -- in its own image. Any policy based on the assumption that Hamas can be persuaded to disarm is simply detached from reality. The danger is that this rhetoric is designed to inflame public opinion in Arab and Islamic countries against their own governments,

The message to Americans is clear: no foreign codes and no parallel tribunals. This effort addresses real risks in family law, contracts, child custody, arbitration, and other legal conflicts. These laws are not instance of intolerance or fearmongering; Sharia principles have clashed with constitutional rights in our nation, and these laws will help prevent such clashes in the future.

The world breathed a sigh of relief Tuesday night on news of a cease-fire in the Iran war, but this is certainly no time for President Donald Trump to go wobbly. If he can’t work out a comprehensive deal to end the Iran threat for good, he needs to get the jets back in the air over Iran pronto — and let the bombs drop. If not, he does risk that TACO label. Trump saw enough hope for a peace deal — and an “immediate” opening of the Strait of Hormuz — to hold off, for now, on the enormous additional devastation he threatened to inflict on the Iranian regime. Fine.
