Yeah, I'm asking for forgiveness from my Creator...but not enough to remove it. That would be rewriting the chronicle of my thoughts and voice, I have to stay authentic to my truth. I know my Creator will understand.

Way to go Jessico Bowman. I knew it. I had just thought it was the anti fascist fascist, which they obviously are leading a silent coup. Everyone everywhere should start to root them out and expose them in every state. Especially the blue cities. Silent coup that Obama was a part of. Unreal. Harkens back to an article Rufo wrote on how one Seattle antifa defendant and their lawyer told the jury they would remember their faces. Look into John Dingfelder in Tampa who sued when the GOP convention was here years ago. They have no doubt infiltrated the MAGA movement, libertarians, anarchists and everyone else. They no doubt have bookkeeping and fraud issues. Lots of fraudulent CARES act money filtered through massive unemployment fraud ended up in Bancorp/Chime accounts. PPP loan fraud. These are the vermin that are vast like cockroaches and have instigated civil war and the destruction of the Republic. Gross. George Soros wants to destroy the dollar like he did the Sterling. Alex Jones was right.
Sauf, this time we'll all outlast the bastard, we must remember the Northern Courage and Celtic Passion of our ancestors, to fight back these demons. The Pound Sterling may have collapsed, the dollar may but it won't be the end, it's not the end until we give up.
Could not agree with you more, and on the importance to keep hope in our hearts, resolve there too and to remain defiant as you do madame.
I prefer to think of it as a Brigade Combat Team sized element arrives every day. Every day since Jan 21, 2021. Invasion is not hyperbole, it is descriptive.
That would likely do it. Especially if it was from a civilian shooting someone on their own property. See how viral that goes...they are blowing our heads off...I think I'll stay here.
Not tricky at all really. If SCOTUS demurs from the correct interpretation of the law, then it's one more step toward playing cowboys and Commies. Guess how that turns out.
Well, beauty and truth are sometimes in the eye of the beholder, but it's pretty clear that some of the tortured interpretations of the Constitution are politically motivated. Unfortunately the 6 "Conservative" Justices seem to have about 3 spinal columns between them and routinely disappoint the Right. I think this comes down to common sense or vox populi at the end of the day. I think the salient difference between 2024 and 2016 is that enough people see the reality of the situation and the blinders are off. SCOTUS doesn't do the right thing, meaning the easily interpretable constitutionally correct thing, people will understand and react accordingly. Honestly, I don't think the Left understands what it's been playing with. And I don't think they will last very long in a real kinetic situation. Harvard gender studies professors and Joy Behar versus veteran infantrymen.
Back when I used to do this Constitutional law stuff for a living I found it deeply depressing to see that SCOTUS opinions were often - and obviously - political (despite what CJ Roberts preposterously claims).
Well, then you are a legitimate expert and I am but a rank amateur, and I hereby stipulate the aforementioned and cede any technical knowledge advantage to you. But IMHO the appeal to authority has been severely degraded as a debate technique in the last decade. I don't think anybody who's paying attention at this point expects much from the Federal institutions.
Truly bizarre, yet understandable, is how idiots like Beto and the broader media are cheering on what must be the worst possible optics for "Joe Biden:" a clash with TX NG to keep the hemorrhaging border OPEN. That's something to which about 80% of the citzenry is adamantly opposed, but go for it.
Almost as if Biden/Beto don't really know what they're doing most of the time...? The quality as well as quantity of amnesty cheerleaders has dropped since even 5-6 years ago. Did Ocasio Cortez check into the hospital unannounced for prostate surgery...
I watched a clip yesterday (can't even remember from where) of someone at the border describing this specific pass and the scene there. And he said something that did stand out to me, and that was the two law enforcement forces actually work together all the time and have a lot of camaraderie. They're a team. So no, they're not about to start firing on each other. Been thinking about that ever since - so glad you put it into historical context in your always appreciated Chris-Bray-way.
From the very little I've been able to gather in the very little research I've done into the area, BP agents are frustrated with the situation as well. If push came to shove, they'd tell Biden to fuck off.
I can see it now: the Border Patrol guys cut a bit of razor wire, coil it neatly, hand it to the waiting National guard guys who uncoil it and wire it into place again. They don't even have to move. Just repeat, repeat taking their time and sharing a few jokes.
You gotta understand how Joe thinks! To clean the BII (basic inventory item), you gotta get it to a washrack or hose, then likely let it dry, and then you gotta paint it anyway--because, well a shovel obviously doesn't work if it is not uniformly black!
POD is a much more effective use of one's time, especially when the ENTIRE IDEA of what we were doing was just wasting time! None of it mattered, it was a way to keep us gainfully employed instead of shit-faced playing video games all day.
I heard of others forced to 'dig this hole...what a mess, fill it up...' but I never experienced that one myself. Pretty sure all militaries, for millennia, have used similar tactics to fatigue their restless youth.
I'm from down there and you're exactly right. All these officers, of all agencies, are from that area or nearby, and they have worked together for years, know each other, and have close activities on personal basis with families and friends. My only worry is that some communists/anarchists in the FBI or some other three letter agency comes here from DC and deliberately starts a fight through violence of their own, or through their human/drug trafficking allies. Obama, the Stalinist, and his friends would love to see that happen.
Tiananmen Square. The Communist government first called in local units to put down the protest. They hesitated (remember Tank Man). Then the rulers called in units who were Mongolian. They had no love for the Beijing Chinese and slaughtered the students.
If the Feds order the Texas National Guard to follow federal orders and they refuse then what will Biden do?
It's Clintonesque. Bill bombed eight different countries, to take attention away from his domestic problems. He killed more Serbian women and children than cancer.
Thanks for the 'like'! I am ignorant of the event you refer to, cannot find it using Bing or Google (perhaps not a surprise). Do you have a link to it that I can use? I'm interested in learning about it.
The help from the US (meaning Bush-family and affiliated neocons) was simply not stopping Saudi et al from providing soldiers, many of whom would go on to become Al-Quaeda and ISIS leaders.
Meanwhile, american and NATO-nations' press at the time made a huge hoo-ha about russian mercenaries and volunteers going to Serbia to help their orthodox comrades against the moslems.
The Jugoslavian War was as big flustercluck as can be imagined and to this day, tempers can flare between bosnians, bosniaks, serbs, kroats along ethnic, family, and religious lines.
And NATO/US, EU and Russia all sticking their in coupled with militant moslems and other mercenaries made it all the worse: imagine the US Civil War if /each/ state had been a separate entity fighting all the others.
Much thanks! "Volunteer mujahideen arrived from all around the world,[6] including Afghanistan,[7] Egypt,[8] France, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan,[9] Russia (especially around Chechnya and Dagestan), Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey,[10] the United Kingdom, the United States and Yemen.[11] The Bosnian mujahideen were primarily from Iran, Afghanistan and Arab countries.[12]"
Sakib Mahmuljin, a top Bosnian general, has stated that the mujahideen sent 28 severed heads of POW Bosnian Serb soldiers to Bosnian President Alija Izetbegović.[19]
I was totally unaware of this. Meanwhile, the US government was bombing Serbian Christians to aid the Muslims? And the leftist media was feeding Americans war propaganda about Serbian atrocities, while blacking out stories about Muslim atrocities?
"to this day, tempers can flare between bosnians, bosniaks, serbs, kroats along ethnic, family, and religious lines."
Yes, I recently saw a Serbian-made movie about the Kosovo war. Shocking the degree to which Americans have been lied to. No wonder a lot of Serbs hate us.
I have to say it...I was blushing and grinning ear to ear when I saw that Chris used a comment of mine in this post!! Holy cow!! Not just a like, but a link!
Such interesting history ! Americans really showed plenty of mettle back then, didn't they. I often wondered how corrupt -as in NZ during convid- governments could persuade miliary to act violently against their own kin and I now, with all the 'refugees' and migrants pouring into different countries, many young and of fighting age (whatever that is), and keen for some action it is all very clear as to governments' real intentions. Hired guns without conscience.
Regardless of pockets of resistance or cooperation, the depression still happened. The farmers still lost their farms, etc. Fantasies are for children.

Yessir. Good call!
1 beer.....suuuure, Chris, suuuure. 😉😊😋
Nevertheless, you brewed a great post!

I agree to not regard it as such.
What kind? lol

I really didn't need that picture. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. 🤣
If it's decided it's LAWFUL for the invasion to continue...then I'm sorry..."we're just following orders"...ain't gonna cut it.
Just my two cents
Yeah, and stepping back if states start to take sides on the immigration disaster....
Yep - that's the tricky part, isn't it? especially where 'lawfulness' - presumably - needs to be determined by the US Supreme Court.
Yeah. All the while as this is contested in court 5k/day illegals keep coming in.
It's almost like the vaxx mandates strategy.
I prefer to think of it as a Brigade Combat Team sized element arrives every day. Every day since Jan 21, 2021. Invasion is not hyperbole, it is descriptive.
bsn
I think that's exactly how we should think of it.
I'll say it a again.
The solution to this mess is simply one bullet:
A bullet buried in the next person who tries to ILLEGALLY enter our country.
That would likely do it. Especially if it was from a civilian shooting someone on their own property. See how viral that goes...they are blowing our heads off...I think I'll stay here.
bsn
It would be nice if our border crossers had to be vaccinated like we do to our toddlers.
Precisely.
Not tricky at all really. If SCOTUS demurs from the correct interpretation of the law, then it's one more step toward playing cowboys and Commies. Guess how that turns out.

Dred Scott.
Yes - and it took a Civil War and a Constitutional Amendment to reverse that one.
(and that's without even getting to the part where a federal entity (SCOTUS) gets to decide where federal rights end and states' rights begin)
Texas can always go back to being a Republic and say f SCOTUS.
Correct
Based on D.C.’s instructions, the agent would actually say “Wir befolgen nur Befehle.”
Good thing there's precedence for that kind of thing, eh?
Truly bizarre, yet understandable, is how idiots like Beto and the broader media are cheering on what must be the worst possible optics for "Joe Biden:" a clash with TX NG to keep the hemorrhaging border OPEN. That's something to which about 80% of the citzenry is adamantly opposed, but go for it.
You said "Beto". LMAO. Chris isn't the only one writing and drinking.
As opposed to “Robert Francis?”
It's tough when your father-in-law is worth 20 billion dollars. The struggle is real.

Which is why they imported paramilitary heavies to do some of the covid-era enforcement. See Australia. Stronger cities etc.

this is why in the case of texas they call out the salvadoran - woops, new york/new jersey - national guard

Won't happen. UN troops cannot be deployed just willy-nilly - that's why the Blue Berets are always late to the party.
The UN does not have any troops of its own, but must always ask member-nations for troops and materiel.
French Peacekeepers
Same dif. to me. They don't give a big rat's ass about us. They'd kill us off in a nanosecond.
lol. It would take a shitload of them in TX. And both sides and all of us civilians would strong them up
