  1. What was it another $700 million to Ukraine this week?

  2. My brother-in-law has been waiting 12 years to get a visa to visit the United states. And yet these people come across the border and are given welfare it's disgusting. I'm glad I'm not part of the tax system in this country anymore.

  3. The problem is that some people just want to be left alone but the government seems to inflict violence on everybody that they disagree with.

  4. After the flood of 1955 I learned my lesson and moved to the highest point in the northeast.

  5. Years of democrat rule showing them that crime is not punished.

  6. ​ @omggiiirl2077  There are several problems here. One is the primitive culture and habits. People who live in squalor tend to bring that squalor with them. Decades ago, before this mass invasion from the southern border, America was a basically civil country and you could leave your doors unlocked with no problem. Since the invaders came in, we have a surge in crime, drug trade and an overall lower quality of life. This invasion has been going on for many years. It's not like an emergency or a natural disaster or a war they are suddenly escaping. It's just people who want the free welfare that they are told they will get if they make the trip. We hard working American born folks are tired of paying taxes to feed these people. They are not the kind of people we want here. When my family came to America more than 100 years ago, it was the middle of WWI and it was a true life or death struggle. My family brought real skills and was immediately put to work in a productive trade after arriving here. That is not the case with most of these people. They end up trafficking in people and drugs, or they end up burglarizing homes. It's not a matter of skin color. It is a matter of education and skill level. Many of these people have no skills other than murder and robbery. We don't want that here. Japan has very strict requirements to get into the country, which is why Japan is the top most livable, safest country in the world. Applicants must have a profession, skill valuable to Japan, and must have a sponsor to cover their expenses so they are never a burden on public assistance. 99.9% of these invaders would not qualify and be booted out of Japan immediately. America turned into another shithole country because their leaders are too welcoming of ANYONE who wants in to the country.

  7. There are rumors floating about that the citizens of Lahaina refused offers from developers to come in and buy the island for decades. Could it be that the developers were behind this fire as a way to force the citizens off their land?

  8.  @DavidSwe  I can tell you from experience that the neighborhood I lived in was crime-free before the invaders moved in. Once the low income housing went in and these people moved in, we started having our first burglaries and car thefts.

  9. Because America is turning into a third world country dictatorship I'm trying to move to Japan where there's at least some civility left.

  10. Was it myocarditis? Was the pilot faxed and boosted?

  11. Here's another money-saving tip. If you pay cash for a used car you don't have to carry comprehensive insurance. In my state that saves about $10,000 a year.

  12. Unfortunately this is just the mild beginning of drastic weather changes that will be increasingly and exponentially worsening over the next few years as we lead up to the pole shift in about 23 years. The pole shift will be an extinction level event.

  13.  @DavidSwe  that's no different that shoplifting because one can't afford to pay.

  14.  @molaroismorais1758  No, but I consider it mine while I'm alive and able to use it. My remains will probably be blasted into the ground here as the marshalls seek to remove me from my home in the coming months.

  17.  @RayRayWasAGoodBoy  the problem is "whose law and whose order?"

  18. People are getting ready to remove the illegitimate president.

  19. A lot of people moved out of the geologically safe areas because they are politically unsafe, and moved to places like FL and TX, but now they're dealing with a different kind of hazard. In the northeast, the government is the greatest threat to human life; in the south, nature is the greatest threat.

  20. Facebook no longer is eligible for section 230 exemption. They've become a publisher.

  21.  @RayRayWasAGoodBoy  You're either looking over your shoulder for the occassional bandit, or you're looking over your shoulder for the tax man's SWAT team. I'd prefer to be up against some rag-tag bandits than an organized military powered government with basically unlimited ammo and weapons to use against its own subjects/serfs.

  22.  @roys8870  In most of the world, might makes right. That's what keeps governments in power. Remember, government is just the mob with the most power and greatest numbers.

  23. Government is bankrupt. They can't help.

  24. America was founded by freedom loving people. Tyrants will not win.

  25.  @therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed  Japan is probably the last bastion of civilization, but there are cracks appearing. Sure beats Chitcago any day of the week though! I used to walk around Kamata at night, no fears.

  26.  @RayRayWasAGoodBoy  When property taxes exceed your income, that puts a target on your back. That was a major reason why I chose to move to western (rural) Japan-- the taxes are 1/20th what I paid in the US and with 3X the house and twice the land.

  27.  @LisaAnn777  laws are there to protect the interests of the State and their wealthy co-conspirators.

  28. Well I guess the police discovered that animals do bite.

  29. The government owns all land. We just rent it from government.

  30.  @chrismccloskey2502  That was what the Founders intended. Sadly, the government has taken on a life of it's own. It's Frankenstein.

  31.  @wildmouse5888  that's a specific incident. There IS a growing rift between the government that wants to control people and people who want to be left alone. It's true that isn't likely the case with this person. He's probably a dead-ender who realized the new world economy offers no opportunities for him, so he threw his life away, while at the same time trying to send a message to the overlords.

  32.  @andrewbui8295  Exactly. America is over. The number of stupid people outnumbers those with common sense. At least Japan has a long tradition of civility. That civility passed the acid test on 3/11.

  33.  @purplevincent4454  The birth rate plummets because the Japanese, unlike Americans, understand that if they can't afford to raise children they should not have them. In the US, they just go on welfare. The Japanese still have sensibility about this. The Yakuza is pretty much out of business in Japan. The Japanese government cracked down on them aggressively in the past decade and they are a shadow of what they used to be. It's true that youngsters are sensing that they have limited opportunity. It's a problem in any country where a central bank controls all the money supply.

  34. A show trial and a complete waste of taxpayers money. But then again when you steal money through extortion from the people you're not going to spend it very wisely are you? This case is the equivalent of Prosecuting somebody for tearing a mattress tag off a mattress 10 years ago. Utter poppycock.

  35. We must be getting close to Von Braun's fourth act. The alien invasion hoax.

  36. I knew a postal employee Back in 1970. He showed me the 38 Smith & Wesson that he kept in the cab of his truck just in case. I guess they don't harm postal employees in the modern walk leftist world.

  37. Stand your ground....against tax collectors.

  38. This is all the result of the vaccine mandates causing a pilot shortage which in turn caused the FAA to lower the standards for Pilots to hire enough pilots. Many qualified Pilots are now unable to fly due to heart damage from the vaccine. Many other pilots who refused the vaccine have been fired. America's airlines are in grave danger now with unqualified Pilots in the cockpits.

  39. Go nuclear or go dark ages.

  40. Prices are rising because the government is printing counterfeit paper money and the people are too stupid to realize they're being screwed over by the federal reserve. This kind of printing of paper should be criminalized.

  41. You get the government you pay taxes for. Taxes funded tyranny.

  42. Well because people hated Trump so much they decided to trade National Security for their egos.

  43. America's evil is not going unpunished.

  44. This is why taxation is evil. Whenever one group of people has power over another people die. Taxes also fund Wars and they will ultimately end all life on the planet soon.

  45. I predicted 35 million new homeless back in April, for this fall. Millions will die this winter.

  46. Well they have a Democrat Governor and Democrat is another word for incompetence and corruption.

  47. Then stop paying taxes. Paying taxes is doing a disservice to your children and their children because they will wake up to a world of tyranny that we cannot even imagine.

  50.  @Zee06  The decision to insure or not depends on how you value the vehicle and the risk level in your area (hail damage, deer hits, etc). My wife and I recently were at a dealer and compared the cost of buying a car with and without financing. The car was $23K, used, and when we calculated the interest and insurance cost differences, it came out to over $10K savings to buy for cash and get the minimum insurance.

  51.  @Dfgbuiiyyyybb  No. We called our insurance agent and asked for two quotes--comprehensive and liability only. Combined with the savings in loan interest, the savings came out to $10,700.

  52.  @Dw_ool0  in our area, those situations are rare. And I don't drive much anymore. I drive older vehicles. The difference in cost means the difference between affording transportation and being home bound.

  53. According to some scientists, the Earth's magnetic field is weakening in preparation for the magnetic pole flip. Life on Earth has about 23 years left before the mass extinction event occurs in 2046.

  54.  @laskey2175  No, the election was massively tampered with after midnight in key states. Biden is a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party. His son has direct dealings with the Chinese and the Russians, selling out American technology. They are treasonous traitors. You've been brainwashed by the public schools and the media if you are younger than 60 years of age. Older folks know what this country was like before the commies infiltrated our schools in the 1950s.

  55.  @jacquesblaque7728  Through cheating and through biased social media and news media. YOu've screwed yourselves, because now you are going to be unable to afford to live, you will experience Venezuelan style hyper inflation, food shortages, unaffordable housing, riots, lack of police and utter collapse. Thanks to the cheater in the Whitehouse.

  56. @Humorous Boris The traitors are the treasonous ones who reversed the election results after midnight by trucking in vanloads of pre-filled in "ballots". Unfortunately the system is so corrupt that America is beyond saving. You get the future you deserve. Boy am I glad I chose to live in Japan. It's going to be fun watching America burn to the ground because of the Idiocracy that is the product of leftist indoctrination in the schools.

  57. Most greenhouse gas comes from third world countries. They have oil lamps and no electricity. China burns coal. Advanced nations pollute less.

  58.  @AlexGarcia-ze4yg  it's either that or nuclear war with Russia in America. At least in Japan I won't be assaulted by the savages that are running around the cities.

  60. Has anyone noticed that these disasters seem to be happening almost exclusively in conservative red states? And they say the government can't control the weather.

  62. I'm so glad I chose to live in racist Japan a country that has kept its borders close to immigration for hundreds of years. I love the purity of the culture. It is safe in japan. It is clean. Everyone is educated and productive.

  63.  @jlopez4963  No. just an expat whose country was overrun by savages.

  64. Maybe it's because we have a president who is in bed with the Chinese government. Those drones are probably Chinese origin and they are mapping all of our sensitive areas.

  65.  @galens2543  the change is coming from the earth's magnetic field collapsing. More UV-B radiation, more cosmic rays, and shifting tectonic plates. At the same time, the sun is becoming active with mass coronal ejections. These are what's causing the weather of late. It's going to get a lot worse.

  66. Frankly I'd rather have Mean Tweets and world peace.

  67. I remember when we used to get so much snow that roofs would collapse under the weight of the snow.

  68. Naturally, because he did no crime.

  69.  @glenneric1  Totally different examples. Trump is the most investigated president in US history, and despite all that, no one could pin any crime on him, because he's not a criminal. It's the rest of DC that is criminal. That's why I call it the District of Criminals.

  70.  @KTL5637  my folks had to apply in Berlin and have the paperwork done, signed and accepted. These people are just running over the border. And worse, they will be a burden on law enforcement and welfare system.
    1
  71.  @KTL5637  I don't care what the reason is. Civilized countries don't let savages in. Japan doesn't which is why I was forced to leave the US for Japan. The US is a joke and now a very dangerous place to be.

  72.  @DavidSwe  "Cultural enrichment" is a joke. Everywhere they try it, you get destroyed cities. Look at much of Europe today, after mass immigration. It's ruined. The evidence is loud and clear all around the world.

  73.  @Mrwilliamblast  The real history of north America is that the natives crapped everywhere they went and when an area was crapped up, they moved to a new area only to crap it up too.

  74.  @Mrwilliamblast  your argument is specious and the fact that you stoop to questioning my college level education is laughable. As for the white people from Europe, they brought the continent out of the stone age, established common law and a modern system of trade. Something the "noble savages" never achieved. There is a huge difference between sending the best and brightest and sending the dregs. These are clearly the dregs/criminals that are coming over the border. Where are the medical doctors, scientists, engineers, electricians?
    1
  75.  @balance555  Lots of people are not born here and pay taxes, but those are not the people that are the problem. We should be accepting only the best and brightest--the scientists, doctors, engineers, etc, but we are just letting the welfare hoards come through the border without any sort of vetting. My family escaped the Nazis and came to New York in 1936. We worked hard to make a living, didn't expect any handouts. The media did a heck of a job dividing the USA. Civil war is imminent. Whether a Russian nuke barrage comes first, I can only speculate, but in the end, no one wins.

  76. The government doesn't care about you. They want you dead. The elites want the world to themselves once the resources run out.
