I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

what is your best guess as to new restrictions? No travel if not vaccinated? Mandatory digital passports : paper no longer acceptable?

i expect a federal vaccine pass framework. it will be a database of databases and a core tech to underpin white label vaxxpasses.

they will push it as a public private partnership and go the fascist route rather than try to fight the consititution.

it'll be carrot and stick: free goodies for those that implement, no fed funds for those who do not.

this will force the airlines and the nursing homes and hospitals and universities into line. none can survive right now unsubsidized.

they may tag in the FAA and TSA.

At this point I'd rather stick something up my ass to travel, South Park style, than have to prove my status to fly.

I feel the same. OTOH, as we used to say when I was a kid, "Don't write any checks with your mouth that your ass can't cash." Having to prove vaxx status to fly is an easy sell. What I am wondering is how those restrictions closer to home will evolve. Benito De Blasio is seeing many businesses ignore his attempts in The Apple. At the federal level it is hopeless, though. Hell, even in Florida, you still have to mask at the airport.

I'm not worried about living up to my principles. It's the only thing that allows me to sleep at night. If they want to deny me access to 'society', I'll happily join the black market and make sure it's WAY more fun.

Just like Thanos, the global elite made a fatal mistake: there are still people who remember the past and are willing to stand up for it. Give it another two or three generations and maybe freedom has already been bred out of the country. But not yet.

America used to be synonymous with Freedom. I live in California and that's not the first word I think of here.. I know nowhere is perfect but Florida/Texas sound increasingly compelling. Sweden does as well. Would hate to have to uproot and leave but if we don't succeed in saving our society.. where is the next best chance at a freer life? Small island nation off the beaten path? Sad that my perspective of freedom is 1. No forced medical participation. 2. No mask/lockdown mandates. 3. No censo…

There's plenty of space in America that are too rural for the big wigs to bother with. They will have their hands full with trying to handle the cities.

Pick a nice small town in Montana or Colorado and have some popcorn.
