    Trump rigging midterms

    He’s certainly trying. He won’t succeed.
  2. Because they want to come here. We should welcome them. Why are the people in this forum so scared of brown people coming here? Scared of Muslims, scared of Latinos. It’s so pathetic.
  3. Your comments delight me as always. Since every word you utter is the opposite of the truth, I always draw such affirmation from your opinions.

    Death Pool Update: Terence Stamp at 87...

    His best role ever was as a drag queen in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. But since this forum is filled with anti-gay and anti-trans bigots this may be an unpopular point of view.
  5. You’re correct I don’t know the specifics of this issue. Doesn’t matter. The reason you think my responses are canned is because the principles don’t change. Hiring as much as possible should be left up to the free market. There are cases in which, in the instance of public safety, they need to be regulated. Such regulations may have to be based on experience, one’s record of violent crimes, etc. BUT- I already know that the type of distinction YOU want to make, between documented people and undocumented people (in terms of how they got to the USA) is totally unwarranted. You will NEVER be able to make a compelling argument that someone born here, based on that fact alone, is more qualified or safer than an undocumented immigrant, and I don’t care if you’re talking about a commercial driver, or a pilot or a nuclear engineer. Such arguments are wrong, hateful, lazy, xenophobic and bigoted, and no thoughtful or decent person should ever make them.
  6. It’s amazing to me, this analogy between the anti-undocumented crowd and the anti-gun crowd. I’ve probably noted this before but I’ve never explored it in detail. But the two groups make the exact same arguments that we should impose draconian government restrictions in order to try and prevent terrible anecdotes that are statistically extremely unlikely. The libertarian understands that these sorts of solutions are bad policy and result in far worse situations than the incidents trying to be prevented.
  7. It’s YOU who care little. You want to interfere with the actions of thousands to try and prevent crimes committed by a very few, which you won’t anyhow.
  8. So what? Terrible as that is, would you punish thousands of hard working people who don’t commit such crimes? You sound EXACTLY like the fanatical anti-gun crowd. They can cite incident after incident, mass shooting after mass shooting, none of which have anything to do with the gun ownership of law abiding people. Should their rights be abridged?
  9. That’s never going to happen. Never never never. We don’t live in fantasyland. We can reduce, temporarily at times, the flow of undocumented immigrants (though it is not to our benefit to do so) but we can’t eliminate it.
  10. Nope. You’re trying to punish the many for the actions of a few. Very un-American of you. let the market decide who to hire and for how much. Not your concern.
  11. Nope. For every 100 people that come there are one or two bad ones. If you don’t allow the 100 legal recognition the bad ones become harder to catch. That’s just plain common sense.
  12. Nope. More people would be dead. Your assumption that without a DL he wouldn’t have driven is incredibly asinine.

    Trump goes to Russia to meet Putin

    Actually Congress voted for the aid. Trump held it up as long as he could, then tried to blackmail Zelenskyy. When a whistleblower turned him in Trump quickly released the aid but there’s every reason to believe that, had Trump not been caught, he never would have released it.
  14. What does this story have to do with the millions of hard working undocumented immigrants who don’t commit violent crimes?
  15. Giving these people drivers licenses make such instances less likely not more. Unless you’re stupid enough to believe that Mr. Singh would have refrained from driving if he had no license. Take away the ability of undocumented immigrants to have licenses and other legal recognition and you will end up with more violent crime, not less.
  16. Your attitude here is incredibly un-American. In America we treat everyone as an individual, I thought. There are no good or bad groups of people, there are only good or bad persons. Some Palestinians are good, some are bad, some are evil, some are salt of the Earth. Your statement here is leftist and collectivist.

    The public is encouraged to report all suspicious activity to ICE

    Bigger than Auschwitz?

    Trump goes to Russia to meet Putin

    I would need to see the details which I don’t have. I don’t believe that Ukraine should be forced to give up parts of the Donbas that they’ve kept from the Russians with the blood of their people. And I also don’t believe that it’s in the United States interests to give a long term military commitment (meaning our boots on the ground) to Ukraine. if either of these conditions are part of the agreement then I would be opposed. If they’re not then I might be open to it.

    Another issue that nobody wants to discuss: if Ukraine is forced to give up the Donbas what happens to the 1.5 million Ukrainian refugees who fled the region when Russia attacked? We would be creating a new Palestinian problem, with all that entails.

    Trump goes to Russia to meet Putin

    What’s so ironic is that he could end it quickly- not in a day but in a few months. Simply put economic sanctions on Russia’s biggest trading partners: China, Germany, and Turkey. Putin would come to the table immediately with a much more favorable offer for Ukraine.
  21. https://voiceofoc.org/2025/08/orange-county-feels-economic-fallout-of-ice-raids/ And this is only the beginning. They’re not stopping crime, they’re hurting the economy. Shut them down. Now.
  22. Associating with Laura Loomer should, by itself, disqualify Donald Trump from the Presidency. If you disagree make your case. I don’t think there is one.

    Trump goes to Russia to meet Putin

    I know you’re in favor of a land for security deal but are you willing to let Putin have land in Donbas he was never able to take militarily? That should be a nonstarter.

    Since: 1.80-90% of your posts are either directed to me or about me, and 2. This forum seems to dominate most of your time (which seems odd for a multi-millionaire with a hot wife as you keep informing us) I feel that I’m contributing to preventing the further deterioration of your mental health by sticking around.
