The border situation has been with us from the time Mexico built the first border fence back in the 1800s. the long time champion for wetbacks to bring cheap labor to the US has always been the republicans..
Trump and Bush and Reagan all tryed to curb the free press, trump called for the end of the free press and for opinng the way for those opposed to real news to sue and shut down media for expressing fact that he did not like..
Who said trump and Kim loved each other?? LOL,, that was trump.
never did we have a social program that the right wing did not try and shut down to "save"money..
Just a heads up... the war in Ukraine was started by Putin with trump praise..
Border crossings are down 30% per the latest information.. Joe and his policies are working.. when was the last time we have policies that were effective? remember that hated black guy who was the worlds most admired man several years in a row.. his name was Obama and he did a fine job..
Whoever puts refugees into pricy hotels, his name is not Biden.. trump has several hotels which need customers, could it be his lust for money at work?
Slow boat???? never in a hundred, never in a million years.... I love this country and have given a lot.. I will stay to the better end if need be.. I have no qualms about gunning down the enemy of our Country, so do not come knocking on my door looking for shelter if you succeed in bringing the end as you wish it to be..

Border crossings are down 30%. Yup. It's too friggin'hot to be walking across the Senora desert in mid July.
Putin may have started this war but he was pushed into it. America is responsible for the Ukraine war. We pulled a coup in 2014 to oust a democratically elected leader of Ukraine . It seems every time we do this kind of stuff it never goes well for the other country. Zalinsky campaigned on stopping corruption and maintaining peaceful relations with Russia. He was elected by 75% of Ukraine voters. He changed his mind as soon as he was elected. He made it illegal to speak Russian in public and started dropping bombs on the Donbas region which is inhabited by a large percentage of Russians and Russian speaking people. He arrested his political rival and put all television stations under government control. Same with newspapers. He arrested a lot of religious leaders and shut down their churches. Does this sound like a democracy to you. This is the guy we are backing however long it takes to see this through. And he done this even though Russian is his native language. He tried to end this war twice and America (Biden and co) wouldn't let him. Also some NATO countries wanted to test out their new weapons. The Russian military leader said that they don't want a war with Ukraine and they don't want to kill Ukrainians but the west wants a proxy war on Ukrainian soil using Ukrainian people. That is why most of Ukraine still has electricity and Russia is still selling them gas. Everyone knows these are two of the first things you take out in a war along with communications and disrupting the supply lines..Putin is considered the aggressor but America and NATO are the instigators. And that don't sit well with me. Why do we keep escalating this conflict instead of negotiating for peace? It just makes a mockery of all the work put into making a smaller carbon footprint. And the only winners are weapons manufacturers and international banksters.
