Yet another day has passed and I find myself still preferring the leftist Harris over the profile in courage Trump. Take that test everyday until November. Maybe GOP will get its act straight and nominate a better candidate for 2028. And David will not need to take time debunking this kind of garbage. Rather read about the drum beat of aviation issues in the news lately.
Looking at it, I couldn’t help but wonder when was the last time that Trump ran. I’m pretty sure the AI is overly optimistic about his physical capabilities.
Haitians fled their country in fear of gang violence that is killing many and gangs have taken over their government. We have a large Haitian community here in Miami. I have worked with many and found them to be hardworking, loving and honest. Are their bad ones? Sure, but name me a country that doesn’t have bad people. Now Haitians in Miami are afraid here. Afraid for their lives and the lives of their children because of the maga gangs. What Trump is doing is dangerous. Dehumanizing is a great way to make it easier to justify murder.
Swann Marcus pointed out that the sort of people that first migrate from their home countries to another country, then migrate from one internal area to another seeking better economic opportunities are a self-selected group of hard-working normal people.
And: criminals don't move from a country where they control things to a country with real law enforcement. They stay put, while those who just want to work and thrive move out.
Funny, you mentioned work. I literally just watched a video on Instagram of a guy who immigrated from Chile eight years ago. They asked him what he thinks most Americans take for granted, and his answer was jobs. He said it was very hard to get his first one but once he did, it was fantastic and now he is a supervisor at UPS.
However, I would counter that criminals ARE here and the numbers continue to increase, they know they MIGHT get a slap on the wrist for their criminal activity, especially in the blue cities, NGOs will facilitate their settlement, free stuff from the Gubmint, and we have more stuff to be stolen.
Are we going to hyper-focus on a specific area, or national level? 'cause we're discussing immigration at a national level - and at the national level you're wrong.
You should read through that article: lots of hearsay, zero official sourcing. Let me know when there's actual numbers.
Oh the irony, the ever oh sweet irony of those goofy/weird far right lovers of all things Americana. Watching the trump shit show the other night as he went off on immigrants in Ohio was priceless. Especially when i read the reports of 22 "social media influencers" pounding away on their keyboards peddling and spewing their live comments during the debate. All BS, all the time.
Now for the irony: As a society, we have evolved in part to where the lust for becoming a social media star or an onlyfan sensation making $400,000 a year is held in high regard. On the other hand, when a town like Springfield rebuilds and offers up "18,000 new manufacturing jobs" that can't be filled by locals, they are vilified for finding people who will work, who want those types of jobs.
Without immigrants (both legal and illegal) our country would collapse. I know i get push back when i say this, but having spent part of my work life walking in and through meat packing plants, those kinds of jobs for the most part are not being filled by young white men and women in their 20's. In fact, throw in fast food, almost all service industry jobs and even what used to be highly rewarding building trades jobs and our economy would be dead in the water.
To make it all the more worse, vance when confronted whether it was true or not, simply retorted it matters not because trump was putting the spotlight on the problems associated with immigration. Wow, truth matters not one whit eh?
And there-in is the difference between the state of the two parties these days. The democrats are guilty of speeding when it comes to the truth, the republicans (via trump) have become axe murder's.
The irony of life as we know it today.
PS. I agree with Steve, best cover photo ever. One can only ponder if there wasn't a cheese burger tied to a string he was chasing. The beauty of AI makes it all possible without a stop at one's local McDonald.
Here immigrants find work in the healthcare industry, including home healthcare. Many were doctors and nurses in their own countries and are going to school to pass exams in their fields here.
Spot on Bill. The unemployment crisis combined with the low birth rates will only drive up more need for immigrants or prices if immigrants are not able. This plus the 40% import tax (tarrifs) thats coming if he gets another chance. (China isn't paying the tariffs, we will) This all is going to rock the boat very hard on middle class and the poor. It will take factories years to ramp up to carry the burden of cheap goods and who then wants to work those jobs for low wage.
"He is easily the most prolific liar of any mainstream politician that I have ever seen." Seriously? Yes, Trump is high on the list, but you haven't heard Biden and Harris spew their whoppers over the last 5 years? Biden's uncle was eaten by cannibals as just 1 example. Harris doesn't want to take our guns away as another. Come on, man!
Harris, as vice-president, has no real power to do anything, but as President, that is what she SAID she will do. And I would attribute the cannibal story to a mind-addled rant.
You tell me...I'm only calling out David because he loves to criticize Trump in his editorials, but He gives the kid glove treatment to Harris and Biden. If he were more balanced, I might be less inclined to call him out for his biased opinions.
I’m objective but not balanced. I have no requirement to be balanced. I’ve said I’m voting Harris and I’m not hiding that fact.
Having said that, she has said that she is not pro-confiscation, she couldn’t pass it if she was, and SCOTUS would block it if it did psss.
You know who the most successful anti-gun president of the 21st century is? Donald Trump. He bypassed Congress to ban bump stocks by bureaucratic decree and is open to banning “assault rifles.”
I am concerned about Trump, hence the reason I'm not voting for him, but I'm even more concerned about Harris, and her duplicitous stance on the issues of the day. Yes, you have said you are going to vote for her, but I just cannot fathom someone who claims the mantle of conservative voting for someone who even Bernie Sanders knows is only softening her positions to fool the electorate into voting for her. I'm sorry, but there is just no justification for voting for a Marxist/Communist if one is a conservative, unless you aren't really a conservative, which would be much more believable.
Who saw Bernie Sanders on Meet the Press last Sunday with Kristen Welker?
Welker: “Do you think she is abandoning her progressive ideals?”
Sanders: “No, I don’t think she’s abandoning her ideals. I think she’s trying to be pragmatic and doing what she thinks is right in order to win the election.”
Wut?!?! So her pivot, or whatever you want to call it, is just a ruse?
Have you heard the non 911 call where the caller on August 26,2024 told the sheriffs office that he saw 4 Haitians with dead geese going into their car leaving a trail and gave a partial plate number with the make and model of the car they were driving?
I referenced that in the article originally and just added this link that gives the county response. It was the only such call within 11 months and police could not find the alleged Haitians or verify that any geese were missing.
I played golf a few times at Fort Gordon where Canada geese were strictly protected except the chicks that were often carried away by hawks. You should try to account for even a few of the Canada geese in such an environment. They did have what appeared to be border collies trained to chase the geese away from the most vulnerable greens near bigger ponds. Otherwise, golfers would have to carry ball washers to those greens.

Re: criminals. Pretty good argument.
However, I would counter that criminals ARE here and the numbers continue to increase, they know they MIGHT get a slap on the wrist for their criminal activity, especially in the blue cities, NGOs will facilitate their settlement, free stuff from the Gubmint, and we have more stuff to be stolen.
Native born Americans commit more crimes than any immigrant population. 90+% of the fentanyl that comes in is brought by Americans, not immigrants.
We've been down this road before. The absolute, not relative, amount of criminal activity is the proper metric.

Of course it's national and I'm not wrong. Without proper vetting, we're importing crime.
You're in favor of vetting, right?
Oh the irony, the ever oh sweet irony of those goofy/weird far right lovers of all things Americana. Watching the trump shit show the other night as he went off on immigrants in Ohio was priceless.

I hear that MAGA hats are lined in tinfoil.
And on Sunday, JD Vance admitted that they created the story whole-cloth.
Good job, JD: bomb threats to schools and hospitals, terrorizing of a migrant community, and the influx of Nazis/other white supremacists.
Both Trump and Vance are unfit for office.
When does "temporary" become "permanent"? Evidently, more than 13 years.
"He is easily the most prolific liar of any mainstream politician that I have ever seen." Seriously? Yes, Trump is high on the list, but you haven't heard Biden and Harris spew their whoppers over the last 5 years? Biden's uncle was eaten by cannibals as just 1 example. Harris doesn't want to take our guns away as another. Come on, man!
I'd attribute the cannibal story to family lore. As to the guns, Biden-Harris have been in power for four years and have not tried to take our guns.
Yes. All politicians lie or tell falsehoods that they may believe, but Trump is in a category all his own.
Harris, as vice-president, has no real power to do anything, but as President, that is what she SAID she will do. And I would attribute the cannibal story to a mind-addled rant.
So don’t vote for Harris. What will Trump do if elected? You are not voting for him either. But what will he do?
You tell me...I'm only calling out David because he loves to criticize Trump in his editorials, but He gives the kid glove treatment to Harris and Biden. If he were more balanced, I might be less inclined to call him out for his biased opinions.

Trump is who you should be concerned about.

That's been a problem for the news media: the "need" to provide balance/false equivalence in everything to avoid people saying "that's biased!"
Sometimes things just aren't balanced, and that's OK.
Re: lies and the lying liars who tell them.
Who saw Bernie Sanders on Meet the Press last Sunday with Kristen Welker?

Also: are we now going to go after every person that hunts illegally? Ain't duck and game hunting considered a good thing to many people?
Or is it only a problem if it's brown immigrants?
I played golf a few times at Fort Gordon where Canada geese were strictly protected except the chicks that were often carried away by hawks. You should try to account for even a few of the Canada geese in such an environment. They did have what appeared to be border collies trained to chase the geese away from the most vulnerable greens near bigger ponds. Otherwise, golfers would have to carry ball washers to those greens.
Have you noticed that somehow there's not a single picture of video supporting these claims?
The closest thing is a picture of the guy walking in a crosswalk and that was from many miles away - and he was cleaning up roadkill, not hunting.
It's a load of BS.
