In the land of Nebuchadnezzar, be a Daniel.

"Most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen" *Posts photo that's 6/8 black with 0 Asians, 0 Hispanics, and 0 white men* That's not diversity. It's pandering.

None of the Cornell boys have been charged with a crime, much less convicted. But Netflix is already launching a documentary assuming Jane Doe's allegations are true and that this college let these boys get away with rape. Because who needs facts when you can get clicks?

I feel like a) kids are way too coddled these days and we should expect far more of them than we do, but also b) a 14-year-old is a little young to be put in charge of three younger siblings for days at a time. Maybe that's just me.

A 29-year-old sex offender who identifies as both "transgender" and a cat - yes, A CAT - has been arrested in Minnesota after trying to impersonate a teenage girl in order to enroll in a local high school. For the SECOND time.

Look, you can believe that a person who is here without proper documentation, whether purposefully or inadvertently, should be deported without subscribing to whatever performative hot garbage this is

Y'all are making me want Cheesecake Factory and it's really mean.

CBS got absolutely roasted in this interview. It’s so embarrassing, I’ll give them a couple pity points for even airing any of it at all.

😆

Do I have any fish tank people on here who can recommend a good sand vacuum? All the ones I’ve tried do okay with gravel but just kinda churn up sand and then get clogged.

I’m not saying that our system is perfect or that it can’t be complicated at times, but I know way too many people who immigrated legally to buy the line that all these poor people tried their best but just couldn’t make heads or tails of an impossible process.

Apparently a lot of people need to be told today that managing to avoid deportation for decades is all the more reason to kick you out, not a reason for you to stay. You don’t get a gold medal and a free pass for successfully breaking the law longer than someone else. (Also apparently this dude lied about being gay to avoid getting the boot, but I guess we don’t mention inconvenient details.)

Learing Center math.

I’m concerned that out of valid love and compassion for a friend, some people are straying dangerously toward the position that immigration law should be selectively applied based on ideology, behavior, character, etc. We all agree that good people are preferable to bad ones. But when you say certain “good” illegal aliens should stay while “bad” ones should be booted, you are undermining the entire premise for deportation, which is simple legal status. The minute you begin selectively applying the law based on whether you like someone rather than whether the law has been violated, you destroy the whole foundation of the law. Would I personally line up the illegal alien criminals and the fraudsters and the terrorists first, if only to mitigate risk as quickly as possible? You bet. Do I think certain illegal aliens are hard-working people who simply want to live in peace? Sure. But that’s not the point. You are either here legally, or you are not. And ICE realistically cannot go person-by-person down a priority list. We catch who we catch. And the law that mandates we deport “good” illegal aliens is the same one that allows us to deport “bad” ones. You cannot have one without the other.

I don’t know the details of Sam Sey’s case. I have seen claims that perhaps he didn’t realize his paperwork wasn’t in order. I suppose that’s plausible given how complicated the process can be and the fact that Sam is so publicly outspoken against illegal immigration. That’s a pretty serious hypocrisy to risk being caught in. But generally speaking, I don’t think most illegal immigration is a paperwork oversight, and making sure your documents are correct is ultimately on the migrant, regardless. If you’re celebrating his removal because he’s a black man (married to a white woman, to boot), that is vile. Wanting someone out because they are illegal, refuse to assimilate, espouse anti-American ideologies, etc. is simply good sense. Wanting someone out because they aren’t white is racist. But most of his critics don’t fall into that category, at least on my timeline. They are good Americans who are tired of being emotionally manipulated and who are angry that a Christian man who spent his career preaching respect for the law and against illegal immigration may have knowingly been living the exact opposite. That would warrant outrage. Even if it was an honest oversight on his part, he likely should’ve been more diligent, especially given his outspoken support for the legal system. In that case, I would not be angry, but I would be frustrated. And we can debate the complexity of the process, but the law must hold. Yes, his wife and children matter. But no more so than the wives and children of illegal aliens who get caught and deported every day, whether from ignorance, negligence, or flagrant disregard for the law. And people are tired of being told that Well This One Is Different because [insert sob story here]. I know Sam to be a good, America-loving, God-fearing man, and I will wait for more details. If it turns out it was an error/paperwork discrepancy and he is able to stay, I will rejoice, because I want him here. But I support ICE, our laws, and my country. And if their account is correct, then it is what it is, my friends.

Every illegal alien should be sent home. Who they are is irrelevant. Any person unjustly accused of violating US immigration law should have their day in court to be exonerated. I believe that is a rarity, but if and when it happens, it should be made right. If they are indeed found to be here unlawfully, they go home and can reapply through whatever means is available to them. The law must be fairly, equally, and clearly applied.
