This country is under siege and has been for a long time by immigrants that bring nothing but despair to America and r@pe it of it's resources. And there are people that think it is perfectly fine and actually fight for those folks to continue.
CRAZY
This applies to illegal immigrants too. You don’t want them here? That’s fine. You want to send them back? That’s fine too, but, it has to be done in a legal way. If you don’t like the current laws then work to change them through the participation of Congress and not by the use of a signature of one individual. If you believe this is okay then, this, too qualifies you for that tag.
I can’t change your opinions. I just think that you should consider that the way these problems are being handled are not in alignment with the great majority of the electorate from both political parties. What’s more, this administration has made a huge mess of the economy. Don’t bring Biden into this. That ship has sailed. Along with everything else they’ve destroyed or crippled it’s going to take years, literally years, to fix this by administrations from both political parties.
Phart, you are right. It’s crazy.
Where was the concern for the LEGAl way when the criminal took a life or stole something?
THe concern only seems to come into play from the democrat side AFTER THE FACT that a crime was committed. PREVENTION is worth a pound of cure.
Here is a good story, and you and others like you take the side of the 3rd worlders instead of the tax payers.

As to the second part of your post, the story itself is ABOUT FRAUDSTERS. Senator Rick Scott ‘s company defrauded the National Government of untold millions while he was CEO, yet, he’s a Senator from the state of Florida. The Clown was found guilty of banking fraud, yet, he’s President.
Instead of posting negative and limited wrongs, why don’t you post about the good that’s being done?
Trump has done alot of good over his lifetime.

There are a few things he has done you can ponder on With HIS money BEFORE he became President.
How much have you done for disabled veterans?
How much have YOU donated to museums and such?
Nor do I care how generous the Clown was before he became a criminal
So why don't you care?
I bet you won't explain.
Because you can't give a logical explanation why you can't acknowledge the positive actions of a man you hate.
As for what you can do. Well, admittedly since we don't work for the government and don't have access to the info to screen for fraud, the few things we can do is vote for folks that can Put trustworthy employees in place to do that checking for us.and I would assume we could report suspicious behavior to the cops or other authorities
Chief Smith and his wife had been trying for years to have a baby, but with no luck.
Finally, they decided to use a surrogate father.
The morning the man was supposed to arrive, the Chief was getting ready to leave for the base. He gave his wife a kiss and said...
“Well, honey, I’m off to morning quarters. The man should be here any minute.”
Half an hour later, by pure coincidence, a door-to-door baby photographer...new to the area, rang the doorbell.
“Good morning, ma’am,” he said cheerfully. “I’ve come to...”
“Oh, no need to explain,” said Mrs. Smith, flustered. “I’ve been expecting you.”
“You have?” said the photographer, surprised but pleased....
“Well, that’s great! Did you know babies are my specialty?”
“That’s what my husband and I were hoping for,” she said nervously. “Please, come in.”
Once inside, she blushed and asked...
“So… where do we start?!”
The photographer smiled...
“Don’t worry, ma’am, I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and maybe a few on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor works best, you can really spread out there.”
Mrs. Smith’s jaw dropped...
She thought to herself...
“The living room floor?! No wonder it never worked out for the Chief and me!”
He continued...
“Of course, I can’t guarantee a perfect one every time, but if I try several positions and shoot from six or seven angles, I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with the results.”
“Six or seven angles?” gasped Mrs. Smith.
“Well, in my line of work, you can’t rush. I’d love to be in and out in five minutes, but you’d be disappointed with that.”
Mrs. Smith murmured, “Don’t I know it…”
The photographer opened his case and pulled out a portfolio...
“Here’s one I did on top of a ship,” he said proudly.
“Oh my goodness!” Mrs. Smith exclaimed.
“And these twins turned out great,” he added. “Though their mother was tough to work with. I finally had to take her to the pier to get the job done right. Sailors were crowding four and five deep to watch.”
“Four and five deep?” she whispered, amazed.
“Yes, ma’am. It took over three hours. The mother was yelling, I was sweating, and when the seagulls started pecking at my equipment, I knew it was time to pack it in.”
Mrs. Smith gasped...
“They pecked at your equipment?!”
“True story,” said the photographer. “Anyway, if you’re ready, I’ll just set up my tripod and we can get started.”
“Tripod?” she squeaked.
“Oh yes, ma’am. I need a tripod to hold my Canon. It’s far too big to handle by hand for very long.”
Mrs. Smith fainted.

projection
Updated on 11/15/2023
n.
in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories, the process by which one attributes one’s own individual positive or negative characteristics, affects, and impulses to another person or group. This is often a defense mechanism in which unpleasant or unacceptable impulses, stressors, ideas, affects, or responsibilities are attributed to others. For example, the defense mechanism of projection enables a person conflicted over expressing anger to change “I hate them” to “They hate me.” Such defensive patterns are often used to justify prejudice or evade responsibility; in more severe cases, they may develop into paranoid delusions in which, for example, an individual who blames others for their problems may come to believe that those others are plotting against them. In classical psychoanalytic theory, projection permits the individual to avoid seeing their own faults, but modern usage has largely abandoned the requirement that the projected trait remain unknown in the self.
in linear algebra and exploratory factor analysis, the mapping of a set of points in multidimensional space. —project vb.

THE SENIOR CHIEF’S HONEYMOON MEMORIES.
A retired Senior Chief and his bride of forty years were retracing their honeymoon route, hitting all the same liberty spots they had stumbled through back when he was just a salty Second Class with a high-and-tight and a pocket full of bad decisions.
As they cruised down a quiet country road, they passed a ranch with a tall deer fence running alongside.
The wife looked out the window, smiled, and said...
“Sweetheart, let’s do the same thing we did here forty years ago!”
The Senior Chief, never one to ignore orders, pulled the car over like he was answering a Boatswain’s pipe.
His wife backed against the fence, and the two went at it like a couple of newlyweds on their first port call in Naples.
Back in the car, the Senior Chief wiped his brow, grinned, and said...
“Darlin’, you sure never moved like that forty years ago or any time since that I can remember!”
His wife straightened her hair, gave him that look only a Navy wife can, and replied...
“Forty years ago, that damn fence wasn’t electric!”

I have a stack of old news papers and in a couple are articles about a trial involving folks that didn't inform washington of information about the attack before it happened. 1 man put a note on a generals desk and the general just tossed it in the trash. Days before the attack, hints and info were there, just nothing done. And Pearl was not the first "attack" you can google info about the rice balloons that were sent over using the jet stream that actually killed Americans in oregon and made it as far inland as Michigan. only registered users can see external links
Dumb and Dumber
Apparently you support drug dealers and drug users.
Apparently you don't mind the death and destruction that the drugs coming from these 3rd world shit holes are causing in America.
Apparently you haven't watched people you love suffer the ill effects of the drugs these strikes are trying to prevent.
Apparently You Leo and cat would rather spend millions of dollars trying to run these dealers and runners thru our failed justice system only for them to get out and continue their evil ways.
I want the drug flow to stop, the users can't use if they can't get it.
What is better for America ,and the world for that matter, a few dead drug runners, or 1000's of sick and dead Americans??
Fuck the growers, dealers ,runners, all the lot of them, I would MUCH rather blow them all to hell than watch our young school kids be ruined by their poison.
Leo for sure seems to think it is alright for kids to be high and miss school and become homeless criminals dependent's ,bums, and eventually corpes.
Leo or cat neither 1 have presented any plausible solutions to the drug problem, all they and other liberals, democrats and dumbass's ever do is complain when someone try's to do something.
Get off your RUMP Leo,Cat, and present us with viable solutions to the drug problem. I dare you, matter of fact I will go as far as to say Leo is INCAPABLE of presenting a viable solution. He will only deflect and call me a nazi or some childish bullshit.
we have been complaisant to long in regards to drugs and the users and dealers and runners and makers and etc, punish them Harshly
economy must be mighty good if people have disposable income for dope.
That you blow them up, destroying all the evidence and witnesses, is reason enough for me to not believe that these boats are transporting drugs, even if
it wasn't done by the most dishonest, self-incriminating regime you ever had,
that is clearly saying that this is just a ruse to topple Maduro and "take the oil".
Someone who has been rotting in prison for years doesn't know shit.
Trump just thinks that corrupt drugs criminals in foreign governments are OK,
if they are right-wingers, who will serve the US, instead of left-wingers who serve their own people. Here is an idea; send Hernández back to Honduras by boat,
so the Honduran authorities can blow it up.
So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.

The US shut down how many? lets see

Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?

Like nuclear is the only alternative to coal.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
Then there is off-course the waste and the risk.
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?

Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,

You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.

According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

chernobyl didn just happen and stop.It is still happening today.
Smog will go away at some point.
coal smoke can be filtered.Try filtering radiaton.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.

I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
