Amazing how the thieves that control congress have suddenly taken the electorate's temperature, and came to a screeching halt. They did an abrupt about face. Their slime is so evident now, that their terms in office and powerful positions on committees are at peril. Well, goody, goody. But we have to keep the pressure on, and primary every damn one of them. Thin the herd, do it rapidly, save our country, and destroy the democrat majority.

The rinos turning a blind eye to fraud in the elections are beginning to realize that same fraud can make them an EX senator.

How would things look if they had demanded honesty in 2020?

We would currently have control of the Presidency, and the Senate, and our majority in the House would be much bigger.

Good column, Don. Repelled for now is what I would say. To repel the invasion in the long run, Trump needs to be elected and the Republicans --all of them -- need to keep their spines. Every day Americans also need to keep seeing the results of open borders. When it comes to your city and town and it affects your services, people get opinions and they're not good.

Just check out the latest Jobs Report...dig into the details...the jobs created were part-time jobs and (I believe) since 2021 new jobs are going to illegals and NOT REAL AMERICANS.

Breitbart and other sites are reporting on this, along with certain substack authors.

Expand full comment

Well, the latest jobs reports all overstate the number of new jobs created. I mention this at my own site, just released. Of course, illegal aliens hurt low wage workers the most, and the sweeping $15/hr minimum wage is doing its own damage to employment prospects of many Americans.

Is this not the goal of a minimum wage?

Expand full comment

Frequently not the goal, but always the effect. I believe there are a fair number of liberals who actually do not understand the cause and effect here - because they are actually pretty dumb. But others who are smarter know it can do damage, but because it sounds nice, they know it will get them votes. Or that it will work towards getting support for a guaranteed annual income.

Here’s the underlying problem. Immigrants, legal or otherwise, couldn’t care less about the loss of American liberty as we’ve known it for our entire lives. They are enjoying more liberty in their lives than they ever had. They’re so used to putting up with tyrants and corruption that what they see here is infantile. We hate it. They are loving their lives in Amerika.

“ Senator Chuck Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor on Monday afternoon, “The $64,000 question now is whether or not senators can drown out the outside noise, drown out people like Donald Trump who want chaos and do the right thing for America.”

That has always been ALL of our so-called DC representatives total M.O.: drown out their constituents voices and do whatever the frig they feel like doing.

The border showdown has made that considerably more difficult for them this go ‘round.

Abbott and the other border governors could’ve done this in 2021 if they’d had the balls, and we might not be in the utter peril we now find ourselves in, with God knows how many, and just who are the millions upon millions who have poured over our border like a flood since then. And even at this point, closing the border still won’t happen in any meaningful way unless a Trump administration gets into the Whitehouse in 2025.

We’re in such a dangerous place it is truly scary, and the things that will go down this year will be the greatest test of this Nation since the Revolution. But one thing has become patently clear: it is entirely up to We the People, and their State’s governors - not those corruptocrats in DC - who will determine how things will go down if they have the will and the backbone to stand up to them. Hopefully, they will and it’s not too little too late.

I do not understand why our country cannot shut down our borders by simply enforcing current laws. How can we see this simple solution but DC needs to make yet another “deal” that they will ignore as they have ignored so many other past “deals”?

Our federal government has one primary job: to protect us—our rights as citizens and our country from invasion.

It seems to me that 118 billion dollars is only another misguided attempt to insure the economic destruction of our country.

Oh, I know what you say is true. I lament the collapse of our Republic. We no longer live in a just nation state when our elected governmental officials (at all levels) use their position for their personal gain at our expense.

No need for the hunger games to control population. The "safe and effective" vax that was neither is having monstrous death rates that aren't being reported.

Free stuff and election-box “stuffing.” Democommies have been engaging in “creative electioneering” at least since 1960 when Cook County “votes” tipped the presidential win to JFK. I suspect many earlier elections were “fixed” before then and certainly thereafter.

The stealing of the White House and the Senate of 2020 cured me of my belief in free and fair elections. I live in Georgia. In 2020 both our Republican Senators lost as well as our Electors shifted from the will of the people to dems because of vote-counting shenanigans in Atlanta.

Oh, Sophie, I feel for you--it must be very frustrating to live in Georgia. A terrible governor and secretary of state, and Marxist Senator Warnock. Plus the Fani Willis and the Stacey Abrams sideshows.

I'm glad to see you feel that besides the Presidency, the US Senate was also stolen in 2020. That burned me up. We were on schedule to come out of that election with a 4-5 seat majority in the Senate. Hershel Walker should have won instead of Warnock. So much vicious fraud.

I appreciate the references you sometimes make to faith and spirituality in your comments. I am right with you on that. That is where the real power rests.

Expand full comment

It’s not as frustrating as you may think for us living in Georgia. First of all, we are northern transplants so we have no deep family attachment. Secondly, we live far enough removed from crazy Atlanta and try to consider living in Georgia as a purgatory of sorts.

Mostly it is a deep knowing that we are but sojourners here on earth as our true citizenship lies elsewhere. And one day we shall awaken in that Place and our memories of this world will seem more like a dream.

I fully agree with your paragraph: "Mostly it is a deep knowing that we are but sojourners here on earth as our true citizenship lies elsewhere. And one day we shall awaken in that Place and our memories of this world will seem more like a dream." Well put!

Not only ‘Stick to your Guns’ but buy new ones. Say somehow they cork the whole border today. I heard there are close to 30M illegals already here, having children, sucking social services, expensive medical services, educational services, your tax$, you name it, dry.

That figure, if true, puts the illegals frighteninly close to the % of Blacks in the country…the d-rats just might get their race war after all but not in the way they thought…Shadenfreud alert…HeHeHe!

What’s gonna happen when that funding stops or fails, and all these ‘military aged males’ can’t find work or whatever? You can paint the scenario yourself. That’s why every one of the MF’s who engineered this needs to be charged with Treason and summarily dealt with that same day! If it goes back to Bush so be it!

I expect some serious (gunslinging) conflicts between blacks and arriving browns - it’s beginning as blacks are being moved from locations (like community centers) in order to house arriving browns. Blacks are not known for being tolerant of browns or yellows. They compete on gang territory with browns and just hate yellows.

Luann, I believe Mel Brooks put that line in Blazing Saddles because of his belief that most Christians do not believe Methodists are truly Christian. Methodists are not Christian because they do not adhere to the traditional beliefs and practices of Christianity. Methodists are a Protestant denomination, and while they share many of the same beliefs as other Christians, they have their own unique doctrines and practices. For example, Methodists do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and they also believe in salvation through faith in God rather than through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
