I'm not exaggerating to say I struggle to comprehend this. It's like a society having developed nuclear power without having discovered the wheel. Or a modern citizen in a developed nation just stop in the street to do a rain dance because they forgot to water their lawn that morning. The juxtaposition of American not having mastered these things against its wealth and institutions is just hard to get my head around. Like, are you a Third World country or a First World? When will you make up your minds?
We're a First World when bragging to Eurocucks and setting up our living standards. We're a Third World when running our elections (because one half of our political system blatantly cheats) or taxes (because it lets the rich bypass them).
 
This is a clever trick: they're just ELIGIBLE for Israeli citizenship, they don't actually have it RIGHT NOW, so you can't judge them for it, even though they will instantly take it if they ever need or want to! Schrodinger's citizenship
Well Mormons baptize all the dead, it doesn't mean my dead Catholic grandfather is now a Mormon.

I think it's more we used to have system to filter voters, but for voting we relied very heavily on that baseline Anglo-Germanic mix and the honor system you can get away with that ethnic mix. Then the Irish and Italian waves fucked it all up. Taxes are simple, it was meant to be temporary, then the temporary system was made permanent to fund FDR's entitlements, and then tax prep companies lobby to keep the system retarded so they make money. We can't streamline the system because Intuit doesn't want to lose billions.
 
Yeah, it's kind of dismaying seeing how little effort the MAGA movement is putting into the ground game for the state legislature here. Yes, Hawaii is a deep blue state, but there are several long-standing red and purple districts that are in danger of being lost because the RINOs who predominated the local GOP apparatus have all gone AWOL and the few people that are stepping up are of very questionable quality or competence, or have zero experience in canvasing or politicking. There's still time, but they have got to get in on this and start sorting things out and developing some real grass-roots messaging.

Anyone got any other reports of their state and county ground game with regards to the MAGA movement?
Are you involved and live in Hawaii? If so get involved with that. You can easily make a difference.

You realize there's steps to getting citizenship, it's not just visiting the embassy.
As has been pointed out, he’s not even one of Massie’s constituents. Any “””lobbying””” this faggot does on behalf of Massie’s ACTUAL constituents is nakedly insincere and a means to smear him
Discussing a prison bill that affects his constituents is insincere? You saw the emails.

Massie is such a bitch that he logged a comment made half a year beforehand and used it to deny someone that was seeking to provide critical religious services to his constituents.

I know retards like you have problems with theory of mind but imagine the outrage if AOC refused to meet with a priest who was seeking to provide religious services to her constituents because the priest said something that hurt her feelings. Now imagine that AOC flatly refused to meet with Christian leaders because she accused them of being oppressive.

It's continually amazing how you guys simp for a retard who actively obstructs the Trump agenda and who apologizes for Houthis attacking American ships with cruise missiles. You suck him off harder than his dead wife when he's never done anything in Congress but bitch and he demonstrably ignores the needs of his constituents.
So why do you niggas steal our nuclear secrets then?
Go look at the JFK files, Angleton handed them over willingly. No stealing required.
 
New U.S. Department of Homeland Security report finds that tens of housands of unaccompanied minors have gone completely unaccounted for during the Biden admin.

Between 2019-2023, over 31,000 unaccompanied minors were released to addresses that were blank, undeliverable, or missing apartment numbers.

Additionally, more than 43,000 of them failed to appear for scheduled court dates.

After the reduction of abortion clinics due to Roe v Wade, arch lich Joseph. R. Biden had to find a different approach to securing soul vials and adrenochrome shipments.
 
Reddit is also going to bat for this convicted fentanyl dealer who re-entered the US illegally after being deported.

These people are 100% sure that they are on the "right side of history".
They don't even think that far. They can't. They're Demoralization victims. They have a belief that was programmed into them and it never, ever changes. No outside information ever gets in.

That woman? She's brown, therefore she deserves to be here, is owed us paying her way forever, and the only possible reason you could object is because of racism. Nothing else can ever reach their minds. Fent dealer? Repeatedly thrown out? (Random aside: Why wasn't she just thrown in jail for a few decades instead? Why are we deporting criminals instead of putting them in jail for a very long time THEN deporting them?) Came back just to immediately start targeting Americans with narcotics? Doesn't matter. None of that matters. She's brown, she's allowed to be here, and we're required to put up with it, and if you disagree, it's a moral failing on your part.

The proper response is to kill that fat cunt when you find out she's back after being deported and back to targeting your community. If our system continues to collapse you're going to see people start come to this conclusion in immigration hotspots of the US and shithole countries like the UK that are completely subverted by the Globalists, and there's nothing that can stop people from coming to that conclusion.
 
I'm in the thread because I'm an Israeli American living in America who is interested in American politics. I talk about what I know which is MENA stuff.
This is the problem I have—you consider yourself to be an Israeli-American who is living in America.
American is not your primary identity, and America is not where you view as your country, a homeland you owe loyalty and allegience to above all else. For me, and so many others in this thread, American is who we are and America is our nation— a people and country we will fight to protect so that our children can live safe and free for generations to come.
If you truely consider yourself American, why wouldn't you instead say "I am an American who is Jewish and America, not Isreal, is the promised land and my people are not the Jews in Israel, but the people of America. "
If that is something you can do, then you are already American. But if not, you show an unwillingness to cast aside allegence and membership of the Nation of Isreal to become part of the Nation of America.
 
In other news, USAID funding is over (at least for now) and mere weeks later, Just Stop Oil, the rich kids in the UK fucking up museums for attention and asspats, has shut down.

We were funding the trust fund kids spraying orange paint on buildings and random slop on priceless paintings.

Alas, no incidents of them being beaten severely by pissed off people ever occurred.

(And yes, the next iteration of this is already announced. "Shut the System." This time with more of a focus on domestic ecoterror like setting fire to Teslas or Gas Stations.)
 
Here's an anecdote from older folk in my hometown, a town that relies entirely on fruit to survive.
They would pay the teenagers going to high school about $3~$4 an hour to pick and pack fruit in the packing sheds. That's about double the minimum wage adjusted for inflation. These teenagers were happy to do the work because most of them could buy their first car within a few seasons.

Now, they have infinity browns to buss in and do the labor for $5 an hour in 2025.

If you are a teenage US citizen you legally cannot work for the same as a work visa or illegal picker/packer and no orchard will hire you. This also saves them the headache of filling out tax forms. They'd rather pay the fees for having undocumented workers than pay minimum wage.

So they apply at the local McDonald's. If they aren't already stuffed to the brim with Illegals, Pakshit Patel has bought the franchise and only hires his third, fourth, and fifth cousins to get them into the USA. Not to mention everyone refusing paper resumes and online applications being filtered out automatically and never reaching a human.

Teenagers now can't even get the job sweeping a broom. It's been given to their replacements.
I realize you didn't read any of what was said and were just champing at the bit to respond, but the conversation was about the jobs left over after the browns are gone.
 
Honestly Trump going after institutions is going to be one of the more important ways of effecting long term cultural change. Reinstituting Priority Americana without the cancerous policies hanging on is genuinely as important than any legal battle.
Yeah but as soon as he's out of office all the shitlibs who have infiltrated every institution will just go back to business as usual. Newsom or whoever wins in 2028 will just executive order everything back to how it was.

Every time I suggest letting pre-teens and teenagers legally work more, or that doing to will help them develop a sense of responsibility and ethics, people look at me like I have two heads. A common response is accusing me of wanting to send little kids to die in mines and pre-OSHA factories to prevent them from going to school and escaping poverty.
What people who keep quoting my post miss is the context of the original story. DeSantis is talking about offloading all the grueling work Mexicans used to do for next to nothing off to the American youth. Teenagers getting summer jobs, or just working in general is fine. But in context it just sounds like hiring teenagers will be an excuse to continue to underpay for labor. The world has such a backwards view on labor that actual essential jobs are paid nothing while do nothing middle managers make more than laborers who actually make this country function will their entire lives. It's very sad.

Essentially, rather than recognize the issue is that these very difficult jobs aren't paid what they're really worth hence why Americans won't do them, the solution is to just pass the buck onto the next level of schmuck they can take advantage of. It's not really solving the problem and doesn't really do anything to help Americans. But boomers hate facing the reality that they had it much easier than future generations, so they would rather defend slave labor.
 

Key Inflation Metric Was 2.8% In February—Above Target As Tariffs Loom​


Annual inflation was 2.8% last month, according to the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation as it excludes price changes in the more volatile food and energy categories and it’s more comprehensive than its rival consumer price index (CPI).


Economists expected core PCE inflation of 2.7%, according to median forecasts tracked by FactSet, while Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week the U.S. central bank anticipated a 2.8% year-over-year increase.

Core PCE inflation is still far above central bankers’ target of 2%, a threshold it has not met since February 2021.

Overall PCE inflation was 2.5% in February, matching the Fed’s and consensus economists’ matching projections of 2.5%.

The PCE index increased 0.3% from January to February and the core measure rose by 0.4%, adjusting for seasonality, compared to economist forecasts of a 0.3% month-over-month increase.

How could Biden let this happen?
 
We need to have two minimum wages. A burger flipper & toilet mopper at McDonalds doesn't need to make money to support a family of four - But the shift manager should.
I disagree, I think every athelete, actor, musician, and politician should get minimum wage and the jobs like scrubbing bathrooms should make big money. It's funny to shit on the janitors until there are no janitors anymore because they deserve more money from their work and the bathrooms are regular biohazards that no one wants to clean. Your precious shift managers sure as hell won't do it most of the time (the ones that do are great though).

I think most of the backwards thinking in America would fix itself if we actually paid people what they deserve instead of what we do today which is the opposite. Dirty jobs that are essential for society to function deserve the money that the childish jobs like acting and playing sports get. You want to play sports for a living? You shouldn't have ever left high school then.
