If you don’t like it please feel free to legally emigrate, establish citizenship and vote. Or you could run for office and attempt to legislate your disgusting left wing ideals.

Don't need to emigrate and establish citizenship. I've had US citizenship for 73 years ... since birth. I'm actually in Minneapolis fairly regularly for treatment at US VA Hospital. Twin Cities is not my cup of tea. Too many people. But the hospital folks are great.

I see. My pinning the tail on the ass in the White House is "left wing ideals"? I don't make him say or do that stupid stuff. But a good patriotic American "conservative" is supposed to ignore it and look the other way? Let's get one thing straight: I'm no fan of the immigration bullshit during the last administration. We're seeing the same bullshit up here. North America can't cure the third world's overpopulation/poverty problems by simply throwing open the doors. But this ICE crap is not the civilized American way of fixing problems. Giving guns and free reign to a bunch of untrained wannabe cop thugs is asking for trouble.

He is after all an expert on everything else. He makes Jerimiah Johnson look like a piker with his lone ventures into the Great White North; knows everything about dangerous game hunting and never had to leave South Africa; can do anything with his trusty Browning Auto 12 that Vincent Hancock could ever hope to accomplish with his Beretta DT11; is an experienced LEO after perhaps two years assigned as a junior enlisted man to an MP battalion; is such an expert with the 1911 that the pretenders who shoot thousands of rounds annually are dumbfounded; is a disabled veteran (the sort of thing never mentioned by the many actual combat veterans on this forum); can reference if not quote constitutional law; and as we all learned a week or so ago, has a PHD in history.

Don't forget that he'd vote for Kamala because she has a brain.

I still haven't stopped laughing at that assessment.

OH, your claim to be an American has been rejected as has your age. I find it inconceivable that someone can become so ignorant is just 73 years. A sad dog picture is a response to your claim. Hopefully you can understand this.

No, he’s just a troll.

maybe you should worry about the women and children that were raped by illegals on the way to America. maybe you should worry about the children 300,000 of them that disappeared once they got in the country during the biden/mayorkas reign. maybe we should all worry about the sanctuary cities that protect illegal aliens (the ones in the prisons that those cities do not allow to come in and safely retrieve)

you wanna protest, peacefully, no problem. you want to block traffic, spit on, push, shove law enforcement (of any flavor) better find a nice clean spot on the ground to end up on!

would you personally allow individuals that act like these "peaceful" protesters to act out on your wife, daughter or grandkids? not me.

The constitution guarantees all persons have civil liberties. Constitution first!

 

[MadeInIdaho]

I know it was five or so years ago, and my memory is not what it once was, but wasn't he armed at a protest because there were no police present, and he was trying to protect property? Isn't that different from being armed at a protest of police?

I'm not "for" any of these shootings, but I can't see a way around the fact that there is a protest of an enforcement activity for a real law, not a protest asking for the repeal of a law. It's "we don't think that law should be valid here", which in my world is a violation of the supremacy clause. So the people saying the enforcement activity is unconstitutional are also themselves in violation of the Constitution.

Oh, and I've also read that the deceased had no identification on him at the time. Also, Minnesota is not a "Constitutional Carry" state. It has not been reported if he had a license to carry, but if he had no ID, then said license was not with him at the time. That's not a justification for being shot, but also unlike Mr. Rittenhouse, that's not "legally carrying".

As others have already posted, this is purposely misleading.

Republicans called him a hero for shooting a child molester.

This is not a war where collateral damage is OK. This keeps up with the "honest" mistakes people will start sniping at ICE and then where will we be.

back to my question, which was made in good faith, how many is a lot? an even better question is, how does one remove 10+ million illegals without making a mistake or two? what would your solution be?

Gold tops $5,000 for the first time in 'breathtaking and profoundly scary' rally

Gold tops $5,000, silver soars as 'breathtaking and profoundly scary' rally continues

Gold hits $5,000 for the first time in history in a stunning precious metals rally.

I am starting to think that Trump is driving down the value of the dollar on purpose, I mean he wants to raise US exports and decrease US exports. Usually Currency devaluation is employed to do this, but it might have negative optics and also lower US credit score so instead he makes all these weird tariffs decision on and of, alienating allies, cozying up to Putin etc creating the same effect without having to do an actual devaluation.

Might it be less of sometimes weird economic and foreign policy decisions and more of a move in his so called 4D chess playing?

Like AI generated pics do ya?

 

[KJE81]

Both pictures apparently are real, if there is any AI rendering it would seem to be only the part of putting them side by side.

Unfortunately, I think it’s opposite. When Bessent and Trump know the Dollar is losing buying power the response is to threaten everyone to get or stay in line. It is defensive behavior and will only speed up the search for alternatives to the dollar.

On the agitator Nurse shooting. Watching a new cell phone video it’s clear that during the scuffle, his shirt was pulled up revealing the pistol in a holster. That is when everybody yells gun. And immediately pull their weapons.

1st pic shows officers hand on the pistol and he removes it. Second pic shows an empty holster before the 1st shot goes off.

Officer hand is removing pistol

Holster is now empty

Officer draws his weapon when everyone is yelling gun.

Now officer is pointing pistol at deceased nurse.

At this point the 1st shot goes off, then other officers shoot. I think the guy circled fired the 1st and second shot.

Either he saw the pistol being un holstered and thought the nurse had drawn it. OR it was an Accidental Discharge. Which doesn’t explain the follow up shots.

^^^^ He isn’t wrong.

Wouldn’t it have been nice if some Democrats had the Nads to stand up to Biden when his approach was wrong. Which of course was almost non stop.

Gold is booming – but how safe is it for investors, really?

Trade wars and volatile markets have contributed to a gold rush, but investors shouldn't put all their eggs in this one basket, warn experts
