  1. She says the she's willing to work with cities over their migrant problems. I call BS. They can't even get Kamala Harris to spend time at the border even though she was tasked to look after the migrant situation. They're not working with anyone along the border. If they were, there'd be all kinds of photo ops and news stories about it on the MSM. I haven't seen a thing along those lines. Not saying that they don't exist, but they sure aren't using this as a mid term election opportunity. In fact, I'm not hearing much, in the way of campaigning other than "MAGA is Orange Fascism" or the like. That's quite the platform.

  2. "Goals are not quotas". It is against the law if your goal is to enforce quotas. She's doing the radical socialist game of playing tiddly winks with words.

  3.  @LilaB-f2o  "More of this?" How can we have more of this when we vote for Trump. He's NOT the president. No wonder America is such a mess. "People" don't even know who's president. How can you blame this mess on someone who isn't the president? You make no sense.

  4.  @blooipr  Are you saying that Florida doesn't have a problem with illegal immigrants? Of course they do, just like almost every state in the union. DeSantis just showed us what hypocrites the champagne socialists actually are. They don't care about the poor. All they care about is their own image.

  5.  @spqrveteran  Every where I went, they were called migrants. Nowhere have I read that they were undergoing a legal immigration process. They came to the border, according to every report that I've seen, and then claimed refugee status. If you have information to the contrary, present it. So what did DeSantis do? Did he send his henchmen to Texas and place them under arrest? Did he FORCE them on those 2 planes under threat? If so....that's a major crime and all those involved should be facing charges. SERIOUS charges. I'm just curious on how they rounded them up. Maybe you could fill us in on how exactly it was done. Of course they're human beings. These same "human beings" were forced to sleep under bridges because there were so many of them, that there was no where else to put them, as they were being processed. That was under the Biden watch. He didn't increase border security even though we were in the midst of a pandemic. A lot of American citizens were forced to stay in their homes, lost their jobs due to mandates, yet these migrants were allowed in because the border is so porous. The inhabitants of Martha's Vineyard aren't the only ones complaining about bused migrants. Mayor Eric Adams, of New York, has been quite vocal in his dismay that 36,000 migrants have been sent to his city. Let's see....a little of 50 migrants sent to a resort for the elites....BIG ruckus. 36,000 sent to New York....oh well. They have to go somewhere. But then, the officials in New York transport them to northern New York and drop them off so they can use the entry point at Roxham Road to enter into Quebec, Canada. These are "human beings". 50 migrants were found in a trailer, DEAD, because they were locked inside. They were human beings too, yet I've heard more about the 50 migrants that were sent to the playground of our elites than I have these unfortunates who died a horrible death at the hands of those who took their money to get them into the United States. I'm seeing some extremely selective outrage, based more on politics than a true empathy for human suffering.

  6. And all the things that you're doing isn't getting results. The streets have more homeless people than ever.

  7.  @chadelles2586  What you're doing is deflecting from the childish behaviour of those hecklers. First, you don't offer any evidence of his so called antics. Second, that's still no reason to act the way that he did, if you're correct about his behaviour. If it's wrong when he does it, it's wrong when they do it. However, you FIRST have to prove that he did it. You're saying so isn't enough.

  8.  @CM-pc6kw  Everyone saw the rot that is Kamala Harris after Tulsi was done with her. Everyone except the power brokers in the Democrat party. They didn't care one bit about all the perverse and corrupt behaviour that Harris has demonstrated over the years. That's how it turned out. The Democrats turned on Tulsi for what she said and rewarded, for all to see, the corruption of Kamala Harris. Weird how you didn't see that.

  9. So...we boycott all Russian products EXCEPT oil. Hmmmm....does that makes sense to anyone? How is using Russian oil good for the environment, anyway? Is Russian oil really clean? I hear talk of the possibility of WW3. Would that be good for the environment or climate change? Would it help if China controls all the manufacturing and Russia and Iran sell us oil as they blow us up? Wouldn't they just shut off the tap if we get into a protracted struggle?? I have a feeling that common sense has left the building and I'm worried that it won't come back.

  10. Why would she allow those guys to just lie to us. "Crime is down from what it was 10 years ago" ignoring that it's gone up radically since 2020. Who cares about how good it was 10 years ago. What we want to know is how it's going right NOW. "I didn't want to defund the police. I wanted to reallocate funds to other areas". That's defunding you BS artist. Taking funds from one department and giving it to another......that's defunding one department and funding another. DUH!!!!! Of course you're going to use that money elsewhere. What a stupid word game.

  11.  @robbrown9337  I'm not even sure that they are confused. They're just being plain stubborn. I just watched some of the March Madness basketball tournament, both men's and women's. There was no comparison. The men's teams were WAY better than the women's and objective person would have to admit it. The reason that they wouldn't admit it isn't because they're confused but due to ideological bias. It's like a religiously driven individual. If the Koran says that Mohammed flew to heaven on a horse, he flew to heaven on a horse and you can't tell me otherwise. Or a flat earther or one who believes that we're being sprayed by planes and that chemtrails are the evidence of it. A person can convince themselves to believe anything and they do it for personal gain, either a physical gain, like money or prestige, or a psychological gain, where one feels a moral and intellectual superiority over others. I'd say it's easier to control the ideologically possessed than the confused. All you have to do is pander to their ideological framework which they MUST support or lose their sense of self. Religious groups have been doing that for thousands of years.

  13.  @tobybigham4196  My first comment led into the second one. It was intentionally simplistic because I felt that the comment that I was responding to was a rather simplistic way of assessing it. When asked, I expanded. I didn't see the point into going into an in depth explanation if no one was interested. When asked, or to be a little more accurate, almost insulted about my own English comprehension skills, I tried to explain my point. This type of language manipulation went on in the Soviet Union, as well. It's NOT just an English thing. The French post-modernists were good at it too and no Frenchman would EVER admit that they learned it from the English.

Highest housing costs, highest taxes, highest energy costs, highest homelessness, the most laws and restrictions, people leaving by the tens of thousands....shall I go on. If you're a Marxist, avoid North Dakota. California and New York, they're the ones doing it right, the Marxist way.

  17. I don't care how that guy from Vermont rationalises it. Cruz is correct. Those schools should lose their funding if they do nothing to stop the violent rhetoric of the Hamas supporters and it most definitely is the Democrats who are in power and could use Executive Powers to stop the funding and deporting anyone non-American taking part in it. His story of the 3 Arabs getting shot is a deflection and has not ONE thing to do with the behaviour at those universities.

  18.  @cbr274  How about the wall? He didn't get it finished because, first the Democrats wouldn't give him the funding for it. He had to do some creative budgeting to get the money. Then, he lost the election and Biden stopped building the wall. Had Trump won the election, the wall would be finished. It would be finished and the Democrat mayors of Chicago, New York and others wouldn't be upset because they can't afford all the illegals ending up in their cities. Biden's policies are handing the next election BACK to Trump and you're too blind to see that.

  20.  @Kilometerscase  You're right. It's not just about being anti-Semitic. However, it is a symptom of what's really happening. The Jews represent the socialist hatred of Capitalism. There's a belief in the hierarchy of oppression and the Jews are seen, by many, as the pinnacle of that oppression because they believe the Jews are the architects of capitalism. They believe that success can't happen unless one steals that success from the oppressed. The Jews have been the most successful as an identity group. Then white people, especially those from western Europe. I've even heard some of them claim that eastern Europeans shouldn't be included with that white identity. Then the eastern Asians who they say are "white adjacent". There's a contradiction in their beliefs and the conflict in Israel is helping to expose this contradiction. Academia is filled with the radical socialists and it's no accident that they jumped on board with the Palestinian cause. Their mindset is the only reason that Israel is so successful, as a nation, is because their capitalist ways are oppressing the Palestinians. It's basically, success is bad, failure is good because the failed people would never oppress or steal from others. It's a warped view of economics and life and it makes them self righteous, resentful and filled with vengeance.

  21.  @sprawlingman8277  They haven't had horrific governments before? This is a brand new phenomena? You're not serious are you. This has been the norm, around the world, for centuries. Why do you think that the early settlers came to the United States? Was it because life was so great in the countries that they came from? A poor argument and one meant to deflect and excuse his ineffectiveness at his job. He should be BEGGING for more border agents and finishing that wall. And don't give me this "Walls don't work" nonsense. The Berlin Wall worked and do does the wall that separates North and South Korea. This is all about political will and the Democrats know that if they continue the work that Trump started, they'll be susceptible to the same accusations that they lobbed at Trump.

  22.  @alviverdeus  I grew up in a fundamentalist Protestant church. In fact, it's an 8 minute walk from where I live. I left at 18 when I realised I didn't believe in the actual existence of God. Not ONE member of that church has ever treated me badly. If I go to a family baptism or function, they welcome me, shake my hand, ask how I'm doing. Not one word of an animus nature as ever been directed at me. They know that I can't be forced to be "saved" or to believe. I've even worked with and for members of that church. My brother has just announced that he's gay and I wondered what the reaction would be and nothing. He still attends services every week and is good friends with the pastor. My experience tells me that your beliefs of the "fundies" tells me that you're being driven more by hate than actual experience.

  23.  @PamelaByers-on6vt  So, if you're a Christian your beliefs aren't going to affect how you vote? Of course they are. It has to or your not following what you believe. That applies to any religion, philosophy or ideology. You can't be a Christian, live a Christ-like life except when it comes to politics. That doesn't even make sense. I don't even know what this "Christian Nationalism" thing means. If something is wrong, it's wrong. Being a follower of Christ doesn't change that. Maybe I could understand your point if you'd be more specific instead of so condemning....not a very Christ-like point of view if you ask me.

  24.  @PamelaByers-on6vt  "So, if you're a Christian your beliefs aren't going to affect how you vote? Of course they are." This is copied and pasted from my comment to you. Maybe you should read my comment a little more carefully.

  25.  @PamelaByers-on6vt  You're listening to the main stream media. Maybe you should listen to Trump, himself, instead of allowing others to tell you what he's saying, basically interpreting it for you. Maybe you're not doing that, but almost everyone that makes claims about Trump only know things that others have told them. Having admitted that I could be wrong, enlighten me on how he's trying to control us. Maybe you have a point. I've been wrong before and I'm sure that I'll be wrong about things again. However, I don't see anything controlling about what he's advocating for. Not one thing, but like I sad, I could be wrong.

  26.  @PamelaByers-on6vt  I responded to your comment about Trump but it seems to have disappeared. I said something along the lines that I don't think that Trump is advocating for an agenda of control, however and this is important, I could be wrong. If you have a good reason to believe this, besides saying that your friends agree with you, then enlighten me. I could be wrong. One thing. If a person disagrees with you, it isn't because you've grown up and they haven't. Maybe you should give reasons WHY you think the way you do about Trump. That would be a lot more helpful than "Grow up". That's just nasty.

  27.  @scottf2406  He said it. It doesn't matter who informed me of what he said. What matters that he said it. If fact, fellow soldiers have called him out on it multiple times, LONG before he became a VP candidate. He also said that he retired at a rank that he hadn't completed yet. I'm not eating out of anyone's hand when I've heard him saying it multiple times. You're allowed to be cynical about sources but your cynical remarks aren't evidence. Not even close to it.

  28.  @PamelaByers-on6vt  I'm 72 as well. I've learned that you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar. Also, if you're hesitant to discuss why you believe certain things, my first reaction is that you have no reason to believe as you do. It's easy to sit with your friends and have a big "that's right" party. It's not so easy to sit and discuss ideas and listen to challenges to those beliefs and explain why you believe as you do. My family suffered greatly under the boot of an invading Nazi military. I spent years trying to understand how people could do the things that the Nazis did. To do that, I read the books by Hitler, his speeches, the works of the top Nazi leaders, the memoirs of ordinary German citizens who were caught up in this thing. These are people who I was diametrically opposed to. It's the only way to understand it. You have to discuss it, learn about it, to understand it. If you don't, you'll be as blind as the German people were in the Nazi era. I'm NOT calling you a Nazi, but that's how one becomes entrenched in belief systems.....like the organised Church.

  29.  @Rick62153  You can turn it off. If we kick off the media every person that "imposes" on someone, there'd be no one on the news. Everyone pisses off someone. What you're talking about is preference and we all have our preferences. If you went to an event, with the express purpose of hearing someone speak or perform and some lunkhead starts yelling over the speaker or performer, you'd want him gone, too. In fact, you'd insist on it. That would be normal. Trump is running for the presidency. Of COURSE, he's going to speak and if enough people want to listen to him, he may even become president. What you're implying is that ONLY people that you like have the right to speak at all. Another ridiculous comment.

  32.  @Havanorange  The schools get their funding from the state. That would imply that they would be concerned about what their money is funding. Besides, if what that school board is doing is a form of abuse, it becomes a matter of law and that's a state matter. If I start talking to my neighbour's kid about sexual matters and even show him/her explicit pictures, the law gets involved and it will be covered under state law. It's a nice try but it doesn't float. Your logic is sinking like a cement block.

  33.  @Havanorange  The law is legislated through the state. You're still not making any sense. If the state sets the law, and the police uphold the law that the state legislates, you're turning to the state for help. All DeSantis did was legislate, into law, a bill that says that teachers can't talk about sexual issues to children under the age of 9. He's doing exactly what you seem to want. Set laws and if they're violate the laws, you want to call the police. It's almost as if we agree.

  35.  @Havanorange  I know the roles of the Legislative, Executive AND the Judicial. What does that have to do with anything. A person running for governor or president, proposes their platform, which includes new laws and policies. You're ducking the point. A law is passed by the legislature and is carried out by the Executive. The Judiciary examine those laws to determine if they're Constitutionally compliant. That means that the governor is involved in how that law is implemented. I'm not sure what your problem is. DeSantis is just doing his job. State legislators passed the bill, DeSantis supports it and the Judiciary implements it via the police. It's a state process. You're still not making any sense.

  37. "I don't know" "I haven't read that" "Not my job" "Not within my purview" "I am not aware" For a high ranking FBI official, she doesn't seem to know very much or have any interest in what the FBI does or what it stands for. You'd think that with all the accusations against the people that she works with, she'd have a greater interest in what they're do and by association, what she herself is supporting. Apparently not. She's happy to collect her 6 figure income and follow the FBI agenda whether it's legal or not. She's a swamp creature.

  38. @A J One of those murderous lunatics, I see. "Off with their heads" The cry of the revolutionary. Angry, bitter, destructive and violent.

  40.  @marcillioficino4663  I'm not misinterpreting anything. I'm asking him what he means by that because I'm not sure what he means or to be more specific....I don't know how to interpret his comment. So...I asked.

  41.  @JohnjOcampo  Maybe. Maybe not. You: Oh look, common sense. Me: I don't know why you call it common sense? Can you not see how you might think that I was calling you out on it? I was just asking him to clarify the statement. Nothing weird or sinister. I see possible 2 ways to interpret his statement. It would be nice to know, for sure and from the horse's mouth, what he meant.
    1
  42.  @knine8154  I get the idea that it isn't very common anymore. I get it quite clearly. However, that's NOT what I'm asking. The original comment was that SeSantis was using common sense. His response was that he didn't know why it was called common sense since common sense isn't that common anymore. So I asked the guy a question, one that only he can answer. What was his intent by that statement? Did he mean that DeSantis may not be using common sense as it's not that common anymore or was he making a generic statement? I don't know. All he has to do is clarify it for me. I'm not sure of his intent but so far I've not heard a word from him.

  43.  @Mr.Ekshin  I'll try to explain it again. The original statement said that DeSantis was using common sense. I agree with that statement. The next person uses a quote which includes "I don't know why they call it common sense." Is that a subtle way of saying that he doesn't see it that way. That it's unlikely because "it ain't that common". I just want to be sure of his intent. That's all. A lot of people are talking for him but he doesn't seem to have a lot to say for himself....at least so far.
    1
  44.  @Mr.Ekshin  I have no common sense because I am suspicious of his intentions? I'd say that to not be suspicious is a little naive. Notice that he still hasn't responded yet. He may well be chuckling at you because he actually meant that DeSantis has no common sense and you're inadvertently defending him. All he has to do is clear it up. How easy is that? I'd thank him and then we'll know for sure.

  45.  @Mr.Ekshin  "Jack is one of those poor souls born without common sense." "Common sense is actually not that common. I mean... you don't seem to have any." It seems straight forward....if you speak English. I UNDERSTAND THE QUOTE!!!! I have no problem with the quote and even agree with it. That's NOT what I'm talking about. GET IT. I'm NOT talking about the quote. Maybe, because English isn't your first language, I'll try to explain something that's common in our language. Puns and word games are very popular ways of making fun of others and even insulting them through trickery with people that speak English. Knowing this and having spoken English for decades, I asked him to clarify if he was using a word game to insult DeSantis or whether he was just making a statement. "I don't know why they call it common sense" Is he asking, in a roundabout way, why the original person thought DeSantis was using common sense? Is it his sneaky way of saying that DeSantis might be lacking in this quality? Once again, he hasn't answered my question, which is basically this.... "Does he think that Ron DeSantis has common sense or not?" I have no idea why you think this is so difficult to understand UNLESS you're not totally fluent in English.

You'd be supporting a Stasi type tactic. I'm not even saying that it's true but I'd sure want to make sure that it isn't. "The price for liberty is eternal vigilance.” You'd better take that to heart, no matter WHO the president is.

  48.  @jamesmccarte1609  The ridiculous voter suppression bills. I read the Georgia voter bill, the Jim Crow 2.0 bill, all 97 pages of it. Nothing in there that would suppress a voter from voting. So, I'll issue the challenge that I've issued to dozens of others. You show me, in that bill, what items would suppress voters. I don't want to see second hand interpretations. I want the item, page number and then an explanation on how the would discourage any voter from exercising their voting rights. I have to warn you. I've not had one person respond to that challenge. I've been called a few names but nothing more and I don't expect anything from you either.

  49.  @jamesmccarte1609  You need a photo ID to buy cigarettes, booze, pick up a prescription, get a job, rent an apartment, apply for a loan, get a bank account, travel on a plane, get a package from the post office, apply for welfare and food stamps, get a credit card, see an age restricted movie, ....that's just off the top of my head. Are these all discriminatory practices? Who is this person that can't and isn't doing ANY of these things? Every western country has ID requirements to vote. Google "what is required to vote in (name of country)" and you'll always have an "ID requirement" listed at the top. This is a non-issue and worse, it suggests that minorities don't have the mental capacity to get an official ID. An exceptionally poor complaint and I'd be willing to state that it would be difficult to find someone that doesn't already have it. They Bill even states that you can get help acquiring that ID if you don't know how. They can keep repeating this claim all they want but it's condescending towards minorities and, frankly, untrue.

  50.  @jamesmccarte1609  If a person isn't willing to take the time to do these things, it's obvious that the vote isn't all that important to them. If there were barriers put into place to prevent them from fulfilling voting requirements, you'd have a point but you've not done that. People have had to register to vote for years upon years, some of them, country folk, have to travel 15 miles or more to fulfill the requirements or to vote. Nobody's crying for the poor town folk who have these distance problems. These are requirements that must be met by everyone. Pretending that this is somehow a suppression issue doesn't wash. It's no harder than filling out a census report.
