    One thing that the left/liberals are lacking is humility, they never seem to admit when they are wrong. Maybe they really never think they are.

    They helped win this election for the right side, because even many (who knows how many dems voted Rep.) because they did see Truth.

    I'm so thrilled about that, and grateful for prayers answered. Lots of good people were awakened by what the biden/harris administration did to this country, and their eyes were opened to Truth. Someone yesterday, can't remember where, said they placed principles before personalities, and voted Trump. What a wise decision :)

    One of my points were while we still had the American Indians and most blacks still on reservations or slums, we were opening our doors to the world's poor.
    We now have millions of welfare because of lack of work thanks to the GOP and Dems who allow corporations to send our factories abroad.

    I did take this way back, but if we go even further we may find the American Indian aka Asian who came here may have found the Norse, or European here first, since there is proof of Viking artifacts like combs, swords found before the Asian aka American Indian ever crossed The European Stepps.
    Mary, I have forgotten more history than most ever knew, not because I'm so wise but because I loved history from all parts of the world. Also studying the Bible history was also important, to me. It was more like a hobby for me, so I did intense sturdy.
    I have nothing against any race, culture or breed although my favorite recent immigrant are from India, they seem to like education and work hard to live the American dream. As do many others but not on the same scales as them.
    This is what I don't understand is why do people get so upset and defensive about illegals.
    I know some marry into the families, employ them or have some type of interest. We Americans are mostly mutts' like me' so it's nothing to do with race like people claim to win arguments. Also we don't change minds that often, so it is mostly just for discussion or to vent, etc.
    Since the Paleolithic age, the Steppe Route has been the main overland route between Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, East Asia and South Asia economically, politically, and culturally. The Steppe route is a predecessor not only of the Silk Road, which developed during antiquity and the Middle Ages, but also of the Eurasian Land Bridge in the modern era. It has been home to nomadic empires and many large tribal confederations and ancient states throughout history, such as the Xiongnu, Scythia, Cimmeria, Sarmatia, Hunnic Empire, Sogdia, Xianbei, Mongol Empire and Göktürk Khaganate.

    It is not just Biden/Harris who screwed the country They are just the last straw. Obama. Clinton with two sets of books to show balance...The Federal Reserve, CIA, FDA...That is why Dems might feel hopeful that Trump can't dig us out and will look like a bad guy. It will definitely take a long time. And then, if they can drop a new war in his lap...

    We get so upset about illegals because of the volume and expense. A little water and rain is good. A Flood is devastating and as we were broke to start with, the last four years can still swamp the country.
    PS one of my majors was Anthropology. I share your love of cultures and people. But to quote the Kingston Trio, "and I don't like any-bod-y very much.":rolleyes:

    First, trying to change my avatar back to what it was, but not succeeding and now have this. IOW, HELP, Ken!!

    Second, as for the immigration and Trump being elected: There was a large caravan in Mexico headed this way, but approximately half of it has turned around and isn't heading towards the U.S. now. OTOH, there are immigrants that are still headed this way and have stated to news media (in Spanish), "we want to make it into the U.S. before Trump is sworn into office in January. There are way too many of us for Trump to totally deport. We will take our chances!"

    Ok Mary, thanks for the heads up. your correct in not the people but the numbers. People who have the same cultures in common with large numbers can change the culture they inhabit.
    Thats just human nature. Fact is some progress faster than others because they don't like change, which I can understand that because most of us don't.

    Cody, there is a problem with the forum software not allowing picture files to be uploaded. That's the issue with your avatar so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    It can, and many of the Israeli and Irish duel citizens are that way. I think if you want to be a British subject, you should be required to give up your American citizenship. You cannot be loyal to two nations any more than you can be loyal to two spouses.

    I think Trump should offer to commute Hunter's sentence (NOT pardon him) in exchange for Biden PARDONING anyone held for January 6. It would be a great move toward reuniting the reasonable people on both sides.

    The Biden Administration is currently allegedly trying to tie us up with some stuff that will make it impossible for Trump to end the Ukraine war. Just as Obama filled the government with "booby traps" to make Trump's first term very difficult, Biden, or perhaps Obama behind the scenes, is trying to do it again so that he will find it impossible to fulfill his campaign promises. Trump is wiser now, and he has powerful allies this time--Kennedy, Musk, Gabbard, Ramaswamy, and perhaps Ron Paul and others. We'll have to see how things go. Trump said the first person he will fire will be Jack Smith, the Federal prosecutor that brought false charges against him. I suspect some of the FBI hierarchy will be next, but I haven't heard.

    Yes, everyone pretty much knows that they are just puppets, but I call it their administration, just easier. But you are right to clarify it, remind us, and be educated. People need to know the Truth.

    I belong to X (was Twitter) and it is freedom of speech for all. It's just that now conservatives are not being silenced. So I get a lot of news updates from more reliable sources now (imo that is). I don't think it's easy to navigate, not as easy as some sites, but with practice, I'm doing pretty good ;)

    The fact that Democrat governors are continuing to vow to resist efforts to deport illegals from their states suggests they haven't learned anything valuable from the election we had a few days ago and that could be a good thing because it puts them on track to lose the next election too.

    Exactly right. Plus the fact is that no one has a problem with LEGAL immigration. Immigrants have always been welcomed to the USA. The problem is ILLEGALS (who have broken the law by being here) getting special treatment... often treated better and given a faster path to citizenship than the legal ones waiting in line for their turn. It also grinds my gears that some poor Americans are going to bed hungry and maybe homeless while ILLEGALS have government-issued cellphones and live in hotels getting room service on my dime. :mad:

    I have a Mexican son-in-law who went through legal channels to become an American citizen. And because of him I have a little 'brown' grandson who is the light of my life. I am not a racist but I do recognize unfair treatment when I see it, and I know there is a legal path to citizenship. Plus, there's a green card system in place for any non-citizens to have a work visa if they only want to enter the country to find work.

    I noticed that the NYC mayor is totally onboard with Trump's deportation plan. :D
