Attainder, huh?  Okay, you may be asking, what’s he talking about now?  I’ll explain.  In English criminal law, an attainder was the “stain” or “corruption of the blood” which arose from being condemned for a serious crime, meaning a felony or treason.  The defendant who was attainted not only lost his life, but his property, his hereditary titles, and the right to pass them on to his heirs.  The practical result of an attainder was the removal of the defendant, and the confiscation of everything he owned by the Crown.  Think of the old Errol Flynn movie, The Adventures of Robin Hood.  King John declares Robin Hood an outlaw, and steals all his land and other property.  Monarchs used attainders against political enemies and those who posed potential threats to the King’s position and security.  Attainder was a handy tool, which not only did away with real or imagined political opponents, but also made the monarch even richer.  Sound familiar?  Once attainted, the descendants of the noble could no longer inherit their lands or income.  Attainder essentially amounted to the legal death of the attainted’s family.  Attainder by verdict resulted from conviction by jury.  Attainder by process resulted from a legislative act outlawing a fugitive; a bill of attainder.  This form of attainder made it unnecessary to go to court where one would have to deal with pesky things like evidence and burdens of proof.  The U.S. Constitution prohibits bills of attainder.  What does this fascinating history lesson have to do with life in the 21st Century?  I’m getting there.  Because Democrats and their leftist comrades consider the Constitution merely an obstacle standing in the way of their iron-fisted dictatorship, they are practicing attainder even as I speak.  The feudal Lord who is the subject of this latest attainder is, of course, one John Donald Trump, former President of the United States, Duke of (New) York, builder, billionaire, and erstwhile thorn in the ass of the bilious bastards who populate the Establishment of both political Parties.  Attainder was most commonly used on people who were charged with treason.  In England, treason included not only killing or attempting to kill the King, but even the act of imagining the death of the King.  A charge of treason could result from participation in an insurrection.  Uh oh, there’s that word again.  Sound familiar?  For a number of years now, the Establishment, consisting of Democrats, assorted other leftists, and RINO Republicans, has been hard at work trying to impose attainder on Donald Trump, his family, and any other person who has dared to provide aid and comfort to the treasonous Duke Donald.  Trump is considered to be a traitor.  Not a traitor to the United States, as that term is defined by the Constitution, which limits treason to “levying War against the United States, or adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”  Trump’s crime is much worse than that.  Think about it.  The Left is levying war against the United States every day, by bankrupting the treasury, admitting millions of illegal alien invaders, and cancelling law enforcement, thus putting citizens at risk of death or serious bodily injury.  Trump is much more dangerous than that, and for that reason, the Establishment is pursuing the attainder of Trump, both by verdict and by process.  The attainder by process began in 2016, when officers of the Crown, namely Il Duce Obama, a/k/a King Barrack I, and more specifically, the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and other agencies, conspired to prevent Trump’s election, and to remove him from office once elected.  These agencies basically declared Trump an outlaw, so anything went.  Attainder by process continued, in the guise of two phony impeachments.  Trump’s crime?  Imagining that someone from outside the Establishment could be President, and then actually making that happen.  You see, Trump knew better than to do that.  For years, he supported the Establishment with contributions.  He understood the way the system worked.  You paid the political crooks, then they left you alone and provided their influence.  But he rebelled.  In 2016, Trump took on the Establishment and defeated it at its own game.  That did it.  In 2016, they declared Trump an outlaw, who was subject to attainder.  And even after the 2020 election, which replaced Trump with Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, a/k/a Mad King Joe, the pursuit of attainder continued, again, both by process and by verdict.  The attempts to remove Trump from State ballots is nothing more than an attempted attainder by process.  Royal Attorney General Merrick Garland has unleashed the Grand Inquisitor and Lord High Executioner, Jack Smith, to pursue attainder by verdict by indicting Duke Donald for what amounts to an imaginary insurrection in Washington, D.C., and the heinous act of maintaining classified records, as every President before him has done without objection.  Mad King Joe then enlisted other servants of the Crown, Letitia James, the Bailiff of New York, Alvin Bragg, the High Sheriff of Manhattan, and Fani Willis, the Countess of Fulton (Georgia) to pursue attainders by verdict.  Recently, Lord High Justice Arthur Engeron –

(No offense, but in my opinion he looks like an evil vindictive prick) – ordered Trump to pay $454 million to New York State, and put a monitor in charge of his businesses, for an imaginary fraud involving inflated real estate values (the hallmark of every real estate developer), which defrauded no one.  These lawsuits and indictments seek to imprison Trump for the rest of his life, and to seize all his assets, his businesses, and his ability to hand down any property to his descendants.  They’re even looking forward to removing the name “Trump” from everything he ever has built.  They used to do that in ancient Rome.  Right after they murdered an Emperor, they removed his name and likeness from all statues and public monuments.  Some things never change.  So, life in prison, all property seized, and the Trump name forever erased from the public consciousness.  In other words, attainder.  Don’t forget, attainder was the remedy to remove potential threats to the Crown.  Mad King Joe, and his leftist courtiers want to remain in power.  That’s the only reason for all the lawsuits, indictments, and 24 hour a day bashing of Trump.  It’s necessary, because Trump really is a threat.  Simply put, the Establishment wants to take Trump’s life, estates, and property, so they can continue to take your property and your freedom.  So, the next time Trump says “they’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you,” believe it.

The failed State which is Haiti is back in the news.  Independent for more than 200 years, Haiti never has had a stable government.  It’s been ruled by a variety of dictators, juntas, and thieves, all of whom have been purged by violence.  The latest purge took out the latest weak ruler, Ariel Henry, who made the mistake of traveling to Puerto Rico, and now can’t return.  A number of violent gangs now control Haiti, the biggest of which is run by a thug called “Barbeque,” due to his habit of setting rivals on fire.  Charming.  The poorest, most corrupt nation on Earth is now in the hands of blatant criminals, instead of being in the hands of criminals masquerading as government officials.  Of course, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is inviting fleeing Haitians to come here.  It all put me in mind of the 2018 Donald Trump “Shithole” controversy.  At that time, Trump questioned the wisdom of admitting people from “shithole countries.”  I addressed the issue on these pages on January 18, 2018, to prove Trump was right.  Here’s part of it again.

(From Frank on Friday, 1/18/18) –

Trump asked “why the U.S. would want to continue taking in more people from shithole countries like Haiti and some African nations.  The Dems and the media predictably went nuts, calling Trump a racist who defamed nations like Haiti.  The problem is that truth is a defense.  In other words, you can only be defamed by false statements.  If Haiti really is a shithole, then Trump was right.  Let’s take a look at Haiti.  In 1788, there were 47,000 free people and 700,000 slaves in Haiti.  In 1792, the French colonial masters abolished slavery.  In 1800, the newly freed Haitians revolted against the French, and set up their own State.  In 1802, Napoleon tried to put down the revolution.  He sent 57,000 troops to Haiti.  But the Haitians won, because within months, 50,000 Frenchmen died of yellow fever.  The French gave up, presumably having concluded that Haiti was a shithole.  The U.S. profited however, as Haitian war losses led France to sell Louisiana to the U.S.  I’m not sure if we should thank the Haitians for that, or yellow fever.  In 1804, Haitian President Jean-Jacques Dessalines launched the First Empire, and declared himself Emperor for Life, which sounds a lot like Idi Amin, who later ran another shithole, Uganda.  Dessalines ordered the massacre of all whites who did not swear allegiance to him, but spared women who agreed to marry non-white men.  Thomas Jefferson and most of the world refused to recognize Haiti.  Things did not improve.  In 1809, nearly 10,000 refugees, knowing a shithole when they saw one, fled Haiti and settled en masse in New Orleans, doubling the city’s population.  Sound familiar?  In 1824, more than 6,000 African Americans migrated to Haiti.  Many quickly returned to the U.S., presumably preferring a slave nation to freedom in a Haitian shithole.  In 1825, the Haitian government promised the French 150 million francs, later reduced to 90 million, for independence.  It took Haiti 122 years to pay the bill.  The U.S. occupied Haiti for some years starting in 1915, after the assassination of Haiti’s president, Vilbrun Guillaume Sam.  Apparently Haitians were upset by Sam’s habit of killing political prisoners.  The Duvaliers, brutal dictators, ran Haiti from 1957 to 1986, during which time they killed more than 60,000 Haitians and stole $500 million.  When a country robs, starves and murders its own people, it’s probably a shithole.  In the 1990’s, Jean-Bertrand Aristede staged a coup and took over the government.  He later fled the country, after a revolt in Northern Haiti.  When your elected leaders flee their own country, it’s probably a shithole.  But how about the weather?  Housing is so deficient in Haiti that lives are at risk whenever there’s a storm.  If thousands die and tens of thousands are left homeless every time it rains hard, it’s probably a shithole.  The 2010 earthquake left 300,000 Haitians dead, and 1.6 million homeless.  How’s the infrastructure doing years later?  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assessed the damage from the quake and found that many of the roads aren’t any worse than they were before, because they never were any good.  If a massive earthquake couldn’t make the roads worse, it’s probably a shithole.  What about the Haitian people?  Well, they are largely uneducated, and unskilled.  More than 40% of them are unemployed.  The International Red Cross reports that seven out of ten Haitians live on less than $2 a day.  It is one of the poorest, and by far, the most corrupt nation on Earth.  If it’s the poorest and the most corrupt, it’s probably a shithole.  The commune of Cité Soleil in Port-au-Prince has been called “the most dangerous place on Earth” by the United Nations.  If even the U.N. calls it that, it’s probably a shithole.  Not that the U.N. has been much help.  The massive cholera outbreak, that killed 10,000 Haitians, reportedly was caused when cholera-infected waste from a U.N. peacekeeping station contaminated the country’s main river.  But at least they have their health, right?  Wrong.  The World Health Organization cites diarrheal diseases, HIV/AIDS, meningitis, and respiratory infections as common causes of death in Haiti.  Ninety percent of Haiti’s children suffer from waterborne diseases and intestinal parasites. The incidence of tuberculosis in Haiti is more than ten times as high as in the rest of Latin America, and malaria is rampant.  Putting aside whether these diseases are the result of living in a shithole, give me one good reason why the U.S. should be importing infected men, women, and children; children who will be added to your kid’s class in school.  You can’t get your U.S. citizen child into school without vaccinations, but infected Haitians, come on up!  But wait, Haiti, at least is supposed to be a democracy.  They do have elections.  The U.S. even gave Haiti $33 million to ensure fair legislative and presidential elections in 2015.  It didn’t help.  A special verification panel declared the results “tainted by significant fraud.”  No, we didn’t get a refund.  I don’t want to influence the readers.  Make up your own minds.  In light of the foregoing, is Haiti a shithole, or not?  It’s really not about whether using the word “shithole” was a good idea.  Take “shithole” out of the equation, and convince me why we should be importing more unskilled, poor people, who don’t speak English, from places like Haiti.  I can’t think of a good reason.  Trump was right again.”

I rest my case. And now Biden is inviting the shithole denizens to bring their problems here.  Maybe Barbeque will come over too.  If he starts burning people over here, the only thing the Leftists will complain about is the carbon footprint of the corpse.  It’s sick out there and getting sicker.

Last week Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden managed to stay up late enough to give a 68 minute State of the Union speech.  You may have seen it –

Actually, it was not so much a speech as an angry rant, during which Old Joe did his impression of a clueless octogenarian yelling that all Republicans, MAGA supporters, or anyone else who objects to his totalitarian dictatorship should get off his lawn.  The speech started later than expected because of a traffic tie up on Pennsylvania Avenue, as a number of pro-Palestinian would-be martyrs sat in the road blocking it.  38 protestors were arrested.  Sadly, none were martyred.  Better luck next time.  When Biden arrived at the Capitol, and managed to get down the aisle, he proceeded to embark on an angry rant against Donald Trump, to whom he repeatedly referred as “my predecessor.”  This was remarkable, because the State of the Union address is supposed to be the Executive’s report to the Legislature regarding the state of the nation, focusing on the actions taken by the Executive in the preceding year, and the policies proposed for the upcoming year.  It’s true that the State of the Union message, as specified in the Constitution originally wasn’t an in person speech, but only a written report.  The advent of television transformed the annual event into the televised spectacle that it has become.  However, what the speech never was intended to be was a campaign speech by a candidate, nor was it intended to be a rant against one’s political opponent.  For this reason, a number of former presidential speech writers panned Biden’s performance.  Their assessments were damning. “This was the most partisan State of the Union I’ve heard in my lifetime.”  “No outreach to Republicans, and the clear message was this: the era of big government is back, with a vengeance.”  “An utter disgrace.”  “Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory.” Biden’s address “sounded angry.”  “For its force, it depended upon him basically shouting and projecting outrage.”  The speech was “a laundry list of bad solutions for the problems he caused.” Another commentator said Biden spent the first half hour of the speech screaming uncontrollably, while intermittently coughing and slurring his words.  It was surreal and by far, the most unhinged and angriest State of the Union in history.  That would have been bad enough had the things Biden yelled about actually been true, but, Joe Biden being Joe Biden, the speech was a 68 minute tissue of lies, half-truths, and senile delusions.  Surprising no one, Leftists praised the speech, saying Biden was “fiery.”  Drug-addled was more like it.  Biden faulted Trump for failing to “talk tough” to Russia and China.  That’s a lie.  Trump not only talked, he acted on sanctions and tariffs that Biden lifted.  Biden said, “elect Democrats and I’ll restore Roe v. Wade.  I guess that means he plans to cancel the Supreme Court.  Biden claimed to have created 15 million new jobs.  That’s a lie.  Many people went “back” to work, the Democrats having shut down the economy in 2020.  In fact, fewer people are working today than in 2019.  Biden again claimed to have cut $1 trillion from the budget.  In fact, since 2021, the debt has risen by $7 trillion, and Biden proposes to spend another $7 trillion next year alone, adding another $3 trillion to the debt.  Biden said inflation is down.  As anyone who’s visited a food store can tell you, it’s really up more than 18%.  You’ll be happy to know that Biden thinks crime is down.  Someone better tell Governor Hochul she doesn’t need the National Guard in the subway.  Biden also claimed wages are up, while actually they’re down because of his inflation.  Old Joe has a plan for the economy though.  He plans to destroy it with a 25% tax on billionaire’s holdings, including unrealized gains.  In other words, if an investor buys a stock and its value increases, Biden wants 25% of the paper increase, even though the stock hasn’t been sold, and the price could go down tomorrow.  If enacted, and if it’s constitutional, which is a big if, it will destroy the stock market and end new investment in America.  Think Bill Clinton’s plan to tax US yacht builders to raise revenue.  They all went out of business, and now yachts are built in Italy.  But perhaps the most memorable moment of the speech was when Biden managed to anger the nuts in his own Party.  Marjorie Taylor Green challenged Biden to mention the killing in Georgia of Laken Riley, who was murdered by an illegal alien Venezuelan, whose previous criminal acts should have seen him deported or jailed.  Biden acknowledged that “Lincoln” Riley was “killed by an illegal.”  He went on to ask “How many are killed by legals?,” as though that’s a justification for murder.  Of course, Lincoln Riley was a former football coach at USC.  But what set off the Left was the word “illegal.” Anti-American Representative Ilhan Omar set the record straight, “Let me be clear:  No human being is illegal.”  Biden later apologized to the vicious Venezuelan killer, clarifying that he should have used the word, “undocumented.”  The clear message was that the real crime wasn’t the taking of an innocent young life, but the utterance of a disapproved word.  Brain damage.  Democrats have come up with an even dumber word for the illegal alien invaders, “newcomers.”  Why didn’t somebody think of that sooner?  Imagine the effect on history.  Rome, 410 A.D., the Visigoths sack the City, killing, raping, and enslaving its citizens.  “Visigoth is an ugly word.  We’ll call them newcomers.”  The Abbott of an 8th Century English monestery, “Look at those Vikings swinging those big swords.  Hey guys, it’s newcomers!”  Pearl Harbor 1941, “All those planes have red meatballs on them.  Must be newcomers.”  Is it any wonder Joe Biden is delusional?  At least he’s 81, the younger “progressives” have no excuse.  As usual, Donald Trump was best at summing up Biden’s disgraceful performance last week.  “He was angry, mentally disturbed, and misrepresenting a lot of the facts concerning almost every subject he discussed.”  “But he got through it.  He is still breathing, and they didn’t have to carry him out in a straight jacket.”  “Other than that, I think he did a terrible job.”  I devoutly hope most Americans got the same message.

This week’s edition is about doubt.  No, not the movie Doubt, that starred Philip Seymour Hoffman.  It was great, but that’s not what I’m talking about.  I’m talking about my doubt, or doubts plural.  And things being what they are on these pages, it’s not surprising that my doubts are about our political situation.  We live in a nation that seemingly has lost its mind.  We have two political Parties.  They rarely agree on much of anything, with one exception – they’re content to continue spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have, ballooning our national debt to more than $34 trillion.  They seem to think they can continue on this course indefinitely.  Can they get away with it?  I doubt it.  We’re on the road to ruin, and if we don’t stop soon, the Chinese are going to close our road for good.  We have leaders in Washington who have decided, for some demented reason, that we shouldn’t have secure borders, that we should admit millions of illegal aliens, and that we should let them come and go as they please, while we support them with borrowed money.  Does that make any sense?  I doubt it.  We have a president who has caused runaway inflation that’s crippling millions of Americans.  Does he intend to do anything constructive to make things better?  No doubts here.  He’s clearly a senile moron, who’s being led around by the shadowy figures who are really running the country into the ground.  Do I think he’ll figure out he’s being used and change course?  I doubt it.  All signs point to no.  The latest Biden gambit has been an attack on food producers and grocers whose greed he claims is responsible for the high prices.  To paraphrase Dean Vernon Wormer, “Brain-dead and stupid is no way to go through life son.”   Two things caused the inflation, both of which are Joe Biden’s fault – needless spending, and an idiotic energy policy that doubled the cost of fuel.  Think Biden might wise up and fire Cabinet members whose energy policy on oil and gas is “leave it in the ground”?  I doubt it.  If Biden’s economic and foreign policy debacles are truly part of a plan, that plan must be to turn America over to the Chinese, who have paid the Biden family millions of dollars.  A real media would have examined the mounting evidence, and long ago concluded that Joe Biden is in the employ of the Chinese.  Do I think the truth will ever come to light?  I doubt it.  Too many politicians from both Parties are bathing in foreign money.  We’re now 8 months away from a presidential election.  Joe Biden shows every sign of being the Democrat candidate.  Will Democrats keep Old Joe on the ticket?  I doubt that.  They don’t like to take chances on elections they think they might lose, or which may be so far out of reach that even ballot harvesting with an International Harvester reaping machine won’t help.  Will Sleepy Joe go quietly?  That’s doubtful.  On the other hand, Democrats don’t have many appealing candidates to replace him.  So, chances are we will be getting the electoral rematch that most voters say they don’t want.  But one thing is certain.  This will be the first presidential election in our history in which each of the candidates is trying to win so he can stay out of prison.  That should make for a lively campaign season.  And what about the campaigns?  Donald Trump is alternating between rallies and court appearances, he’s oozing with energy, and he’s, so far, managed to limit his rhetoric to commonsense plans for the future.  Can he manage his tongue till November?  I doubt it.  Meanwhile, Joe Biden is in therapy designed to keep him upright, he has an ever more disturbing blank look in his eyes, and when he speaks, he needs a gibberish interpreter. The latest polls have Trump 2, 4, or 5 points ahead nationally.  Should we believe them?  I doubt it.  My theory has two scenarios.  Democrats are either manipulating the poll numbers to make them look bad, or they’re permitting the true numbers to be reported now in hopes that Joe will either drop out or be pushed out by Party leaders.  If Democrats get their wish, can they pull off a smooth candidate swap?  Highly doubtful.  The only way to do that painlessly would be to replace Joe with Cackling Kamala, but if they do that, what have they gained?  Kamala is less popular than Biden.  It looks like the Democrats will have to fall back on their traditional three-part plan – lies, a corrupt media, and ballot box stuffing in the dead of night.  If they can keep the election close, that will work again.  The trick will be to hide Old Joe from the public if he’s the candidate.  This week, Trump challenged Biden to debates, anywhere, anytime, and in any format.  I doubt that Joe will take the bait.  This will become a bigger problem for Biden the closer we get to November.  One more reason to take Joe out.  For who?  Well, this week, Michele Obama’s spokesperson said she will “not not run for president.”  Can we rely on that?  I doubt it.  What wasn’t said, ala LBJ was, “I will not run, nor will I accept” the nomination.  Nobody ever expected her to “run.”  The scenario is that, Joe gets shipped to assisted living, and Michele grudgingly agrees to be put on the ballot.  And speaking of the ballot, this week, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that State officials can’t remove Trump from the ballot for participating in a nonexistent insurrection, or for that matter, in a true insurrection.  No surprise to anyone who actually read the 14th Amendment.  Have the liberal rubber-stamps on the Court finally seen the light?  No.  They wrote an opinion saying the majority went too far by foreclosing other methods of removing candidates.  The three Leftist witches, pardon me, Justices, missed the point.  The Court ruled there’s only one method, and it resides in the Congress.  Case closed.  And now I must close this episode.  Have we heard the last of the Leftist attempts to force Trump off State ballots?  No.  And don’t doubt me.

The Roman Republic, and then Empire, dominated the ancient world for more than 500 years.  In those areas under Roman control, there was no greater honor than the grant of Roman citizenship.  The US has been around less than half that time, but the prospect of American citizenship has attracted  millions of immigrants to our shores.  These were the people who built America, who turned an untamed land into a world power that became the envy of the world.  In his farewell address in 1989, President Reagan, borrowing from the New testament and Puritan pilgrim John Winthrop, described his conception of America as “the shining city upon a hill.”  “In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity.  And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”  This was a beautiful sentiment, which perfectly described a time before our leaders had completely lost their minds.  The immigrants who came to America for those first 200 years came to pursue the American Dream, and to become Americans.  This was special.  There is no German Dream or French Dream.  You can immigrate to France, even become a French citizen, but you’ll never really be French.  Not so here.  America was the Melting Pot, taking in diverse peoples who emerged as Americans.  It wasn’t perfect.  Far from it.  Our history is replete with the good, the bad, and the ugly, but at the end of the day, no matter who you were, you were better off in America than anywhere else in the world.  But we’ve lost our way.  We’re beset by a political Party that’s intent on running down America.  They tell us we’re not “the land of the free” but the land of white oppression.  As with most things Democrat, that’s a lie which is exposed by their own hypocrisy.  They tell us we’re no good.  America’s not an exceptional nation.  Andrew Cuomo even said, “Make America great again?  It never was that great.”  Which was strange talk from someone who, had his ancestors not become Americans, would still be in Italy driving a donkey cart.  The point is that while our nation always welcomed immigrants, we had laws that regulated immigration, to ensure that those who came were capable of supporting themselves, weren’t criminal, insane, or both, and didn’t have communicable diseases.  Those laws are still on the books, but they’re being ignored and violated every day.  Leftists are trying to turn the American Dream into a globalist dream, in which the US isn’t the leader of the world, but just another nation, no different than any other.  But to do that, they have to drag us down to the level of every other nation, including those that Donald Trump once aptly described as “shitholes.”  And they’re doing their best.  Since his inauguration, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden is responsible for permitting some 10 million illegal alien invaders into the US.  Are they sick?  We don’t know.  Are they criminals or insane?  We don’t know.  Neither do we know who they really are, where they’re going to live, nor what they’ll do once they get there.  The only thing we can be reasonably sure of is they need our money, and what’s worse, both the invaders and the morons running this government are convinced it’s our responsibility to pay whatever it takes to support them.  Worse yet, Leftist politicians are falling all over one another to make the invaders comfortable, using your money.  Democrat governors and mayors have stolen at least $517 million from the federal COVID-19 stimulus package to make cash payments to individual illegal immigrants.  This was money earmarked to help American citizens weather the Wuhan Plague.  In New York City, although 23% of US born kids are living below the poverty line, they’re spending 53 million of your hard-earned tax dollars to give illegal aliens prepaid debit cards, to the tune of $15,000 a year for a family of four.  Is your business in trouble?  Are you behind on your rent or mortgage?  Screw you!  The illegal aliens are now ahead of you in line.  Are you a homeless military veteran?   Remember that chant, “We’re number one?”  Forget it.  You’re now number two, because Democrats have made America a nation of the illegals, for the illegals and by the illegals.  You just don’t count anymore.  It puts me in mind of the angel, Clarence, in It’s a Wonderful Life.  Remember, he was an angel, second class, just as you’re now a citizen, second class.  But it’s all in a good cause, right?  Wrong!  We now have millions of invaders, sucking up our tax dollars, eating our food, crowding our schools, overburdening our health care system, and using up housing resources, many of whom not only aren’t grateful, but are robbing people, assaulting police officers, and killing Americans.  No of course, not all of them are criminals.  The point is, if you fail to vet any of them, you get the evil as well as the non-violent charity cases.  But we’re not supposed to utter that truth.  Remember when Trump came down the escalator in 2015, and said, “They’re not sending us they’re best?”  He was lambasted, but he was right.  He’d seen it before.  In the 1980 Cuban Mariel boatlift, Castro sent us some 125,000 refugees by boat.  Many in what Jimmy Carter hailed the Freedom Flotillas, became productive citizens, but many were criminals and the insane.  Multiply the Cuban Marielito problem by 80 and that’s the Biden Invasion.  We’re not against immigration, we’re in favor of choosing to admit only those who will make America stronger.  Since 2014, about 25% of Venezuela’s population has fled that Social paradise.  Hundreds of thousands came here, and with no real border, and no one looking, Venezuelan criminal gangs are rampaging through America.  This is not the price we have to pay as a nation of immigrants.  It’s the insult we’ve been forced to endure for electing Joe Biden.  The notion that hard-working American taxpayers, already saddled with Biden inflation eating away at their ability to make ends meet, should be further burdened by having to support needy ingrates, who are just as likely to kill you as to trim your hedges, is hard to swallow.  We’re the jackasses who’ve been pulling the wagon up the hill all these years, and we now have an additional 10 million people riding in the back.  It’s no wonder border security is the number one political issue.  If you second class citizens want to be promoted back to first class, the Democrats have to go.
