The 10 million that was allowed in isn’t the problem. Think of folks immigrating like WBC. We haven’t figured out that our high wages is the sickness that is the economy.
These build ups in “immigrants” always happen before a war. The age of the WBC tells the story of the infection.

The border is generally only an emergency during an election year. The rates were much higher in the 1990's. Border states get money to deal with immigrants. Current numbers look much worse than they are because they changed how they count apprehensions and expulsions. It's a combination of those two stats that were separate before and if someone is returned multiple times, each time counts as a separate encounter.
I think the numbers were still higher, but not as high as they seem. I haven't been able to find anything that still shows the separate number stats though.

I was leading him into seeing the border crisis is a political tool used by the republicans. For him to say "Democrats let illegals in" is crazy talk. Texas by far has the most illegals crossings and it is not a democratic state.
How To Steal the 2024 Presidential Election 101 (Non-wild conspiracy theory edition)
You know I did not want to buy into this conspiracy, but something doesn’t seem right because the Democrats in some states did extremely well on the down ballot. Especially North Carolina really made me stretch my head for a minute

You’re right. A lot doesn’t add up. And I don’t buy into unfounded conspiracy theories either. But there definitely was a conspiracy that took place here to suppress votes that more likely than not turned this election. Greg broke it down WELL in that video.
Damn ! Brazilians don't play with that shit ! Bolsonaro chose the wrong country for a coup !
was talking to the lady today about this and she thinks even if he gets time some way or another the clown will run AND WIN. She stated how eerie our politics are to theirs when it comes to Christian Nationalism
NEW: Trump selects Russ Vought, architect of Project 2025 chapter, to lead White House budget office
Vought has:
- Asserted presidential authorities to unilaterally claw back spending, w/o Congress
- Said "we are living in a post-Constitutional time"
- Has crafted plans for Trump to deploy the military to quash civil unrest and seize more control over the Justice Department
- Aggressive proponent of using "Schedule F" to strip protections from much of the federal workforce

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday stepped into a major legal fight over the $8 billion a year the federal government spends to subsidize phone and internet services in schools, libraries and rural areas, in a new test of federal regulatory power.
The justices will review an appellate ruling that struck down as unconstitutional the Universal Service Fund. The Federal Communications Commission collects money from telecommunications providers, who then pass the cost on to their customers.
A conservative advocacy group, Consumer Research, challenged the practice. The justices had previously denied two appeals from Consumer Research after federal appeals courts upheld the program. But the full 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, among the nation’s most conservative, ruled 9-7 that the method of funding is unconstitutional.
The Biden administration appealed that ruling, but the case probably won’t be argued until late March. At that point, the Trump administration will be in place and it not clear whether it will take a different view of the issue.
The 5th Circuit held that the funding method is unconstitutional because Congress has given too much authority to the FCC and the agency in turn has ceded too much power to a private entity.
The last time the Supreme Court invoked what is known as the non-delegation doctrine to strike down a federal law was in 1935. But several conservative justices have suggested they are open to breathing new life into the legal doctrine.

but if you had to pick the MAIN one of concern to YOU...
or more importantly what topic do you think lost Democrats care the most about to bring them back to the polls.
I cannot pick one thing everything may bother with me and some type. If he serves a full four years, it’s going to take a long time for a Democrat to fix his mess. The Republicans better turn back a lot of his stuff because they are going to catch the most hail from his shenanigans.
What is your top priority going forward?
Winning back the White House in 2028
Winning back control of the House and Senate in 2026Fighting back against Donald Trump’s harmful agenda
Persuading voters who did not vote for Democrats in 2022 and 2024
Flipping the Virginia governorship and holding the New Jersey governor’s seat in November
Making investments in key states Democrats lost by fewer than 2 points in 2022 and 2024
Giving more support to state parties in deep red states to help Democrats at the grassroots level
Improving voter turnout by engaging new voters and Americans who didn’t vote in 2022 or 2024
Engaging with those who voted for the first time in the 2024 elections
Supporting state parties to help Democrats win local, county, and state legislative races
Investing in tech and data infrastructure to support Democratic candidates
Expanding voter education, protection, and registration efforts
