Are you going to vote for Marco Rubio if it is?

I don’t care if immigrants go to church and their pastor speaks a native tongue. I do care if they have been here generations and can’t speak English. I do care if they’ve been here generations and live off government welfare programs. I do care if they’ve been here generations and put their native flag before ours. I’ve gone to San Gennaro festivals, I’ve gone to Polish bakeries.. nothing wrong with celebrating your heritage. None of that comes before being an American. Genuinely asking.. what benefit does America in 2025 have to importing third world migrants? This isn’t a condescending question.. what do you believe the benefits are? Because data shows they are not assimilating and they are, in large part, living off the government. Do you think it’s beneficial to society to have neighbors that don’t speak English? Is that good for the fabric of our society? Because JD is 100% correct that it is not.

Willing to bet the average American had no idea about this until now.. maybe.. if they’re not boomers getting their news from MSM.

I wouldn’t argue with this. The ACA was a lie. You can be for covering pre-existing conditions (I am) but the lie it would lower costs was intentional because they knew it would never pass without that lie. I don’t even know how capitalism survives the next 30-40 years if I’m being honest. Once AI destroys industries and results in massive layoffs, no one will own anything and most will be dependent upon the government for more than just healthcare.

Im Polish and Italian… my ancestors assimilated. Somalians in Minnesota who don’t speak much English and only associate with other Somalians, not so much. Surely you can see the difference even if you have to pretend you don’t.

Vance was pretty measured in his response to Usha not being a Christian given the faith essentially means if they both passed away today, they would not spend eternity together. Not sure why that upsets people who apparently wanted him to pay homage to Brahma. Dont worry… future Islamic leaders in this country won’t be so wishy washy when discussing their faith.

Exactly. He didn’t provide much at all, but the little he did was all that was needed to lift us out of the doldrums. Imagine if we brought in someone who can actually produce.

Is this the future you want?

It’s a big reason we can’t beat KC when it matters, but alright. Mahomes, Kelce, Jones Allen… 🤷🏼‍♂️ At the very least we can get him a competent receiving core, no?

Pro-Israel lean R’s attacking JD Vance this morning over his “equivocating” on Israel last night. Millennial/Gen Z conservatives applauding him for his Q&A last night. Pro-Israel folks need to be very careful right now politically…. They demand loyalty from politicians on the Right when politicians on the Left are facing AIPAC boycott purity tests and open anti-semitism in their base.. so far R’s have kept their anti-semitism on the fringe, but Tucker, Fuentes etc., are starting to bleed over and Gen Z/Millennials on both sides, are increasingly anti-Israel. Rubio/DeSantis are likely strong allies with Israel but JD is a wild card on the right. He will align more often than not, but isn’t afraid to take shots when Israel’s interests don’t align with America’s. I’m generally more on Israel’s side when it comes to some of the bigger foreign policy issues but I’m growing increasingly tired of pro-Israel money controlling our politics. I suspect this is a growing sentiment on the Right.

Cooper opened things up last year after a similar slump just by being out there. Why do we need to act like a WR upgrade wouldn’t change much? It would.. and will open things up enough to help Allen see more clearly what teams are doing. Thus helping him to play better in structure. We literally saw this happen last year. When I saw Brady make mention that we only get about 8 drives per game, I cringed. If he knows this.. Allen knows this. And to come out and say it, means it’s stressing them. And it’s a massively underreported strain on this Offense.

Keon should want a trade. Im not absolving him, but it seems pretty obvious he’s not going to succeed as a pure X. Which is pretty much where he’s stuck here due to Shakir being a slot only and our usage of TE’s, one being Kincaid who’s basically a big slot.

I don’t disagree, but does Kelce make the catch Kincaid couldn’t? I think we all know the answer to that. Get Allen legitimate weapons because we all know they haven’t shown they can build a Defense he can depend on when it matters. Why does Allen have to go up against an elite KC Defense in the Playoffs every year, with meh weapons.. while Mahomes gets to play our routinely decimated Defense that can’t stop anyone? They don’t play each other… they play the others Defense.. and it’s beyond tiring watching Allen go toe to toe with Mahomes with lesser weapons, against a tougher, better coached playoff Defense … and always lose with this formula.

Early voting data doesn’t seem to back this up so far, but we shall see..

We’d have multiple SB appearances if not for KC.

Every time I see someone make the point that we have enough and just need Allen to play differently. This seems to be their solution:

Mahomes had Hill/Kelce Then Kelce in his prime Last year he struggled heavily with no Rice, Kelce down year and a receiver core similar to what we have, but got by with a strong Defense he could rely on This year he’s back to having one of the better WR rooms in the AFC Allen had Diggs & Beasley for a few years and never a Defense he can count on when it matters But we want him to play now like he does..

I’d contend that if our WR’s aren’t capable of doing things Allen is comfortable with, thus making him regress with the solution seeming to be forcing him into becoming a game manager, that it’s indeed a problem. We also don’t have the Defense, at least historically, to beat teams when it matters with ball control. This concept requires having a Defense that can hold an opposing QB below 30 in high leverage games. Also, Brady made mention of us only getting 8 drives per game. The Offense is cognizant of the games being shortened and that surely leads to Allen pressing. Instead of all this soul searching and wanting Allen to be Brock Purdy, maybe we can just get him a WR… I know, crazy concept.

Vance answering questions at the Turning Point event at Ole Miss last night shows that he’s absolutely legit when it comes to 2028. I might prefer Rubio or DeSantis, but JD has grown on me a lot since coming onto the scene as VP. He’s very much “New Right”.. which is basically a cheat code in Michigan and Pennsylvania electorally where his constant refrain is America First, pro-worker with heavy focus on unions for a Republican and lower immigration levels in general. He has a back and forth with an Indian woman about his wife, Christianity and immigration that is absolutely worth watching from both sides. She presents her opinions very well (aside from the common issue liberals have of conflating legal and illegal immigration) and JD’s response is incredibly well thought out.

If you asked me if I supported SNAP, I’d say yes. So not exactly the best methodology. As for “rooting out abuse”.. phrasing of the question plays a part in leading to the answer.. and check back with me on this in polling post-shutdown.

Stefon Diggs level tweeting with Trevon Diggs level play on the field.

Does this sound, at all, sustainable to you?

What are my beliefs? That we should have a societal safety net and root out those who abuse it? In other words.. the mainstream view in America. Leftists on the wrong side of 80/20 issues like “how out of step are 80% of Americans?”

Knives out for Keon this week. Seeing it everywhere.. National podcasts, ESPN, Fox etc It’s like the national media all realized at once how bad he’s been.
