  1. True exhilarating voices that immediately brings your mind to an incredible moment are few and far between.

    Bills fans can get chills just repeating the phrase. Fandamonium.

    Today, we lost another one...we will never hear "Yankees win, theee Yankees win" again.

    John Sterling retired effective immediately. 85 yrs old. Health.

    Have a long and healthy retirement John. 

     

    I know, off topic a little but memorable sports moments are why we watch and listen.

    Governing for dummies Chapter 1 - You do not allow a state to fail in close proximity to your borders for a few reasons.  

     

    First, a failed state is never a peaceful affair and the gangs that are a problem now will evolve into "warlord" controlled crime structures much like in Somalia.  These "warlords" will be a much larger threat to the US and its neighbors as the criminal activity will spillover to surrounding countries. 

     

    Second, the violence from a failed state will create a refugee crisis.  These refugees will be running for their lives and not merely seeking economic opportunity.  In this case the US will have a moral obligation to admit these refugees as there will be no dispute regarding their status as asylum seekers.  There are currently 730,000 Haitians who have migrated to the US, now you can expect that number to increase dramatically.

    Third, a failed state will create economic issues for its neighbors and trading partners.  Trade with Haiti will fall, and the parties impacted will need to adjust accordingly (the US has roughly $1-2 billion dollars in trade with Haiti).  A failed Haiti will create an economic "dead zone" as trade, tourism and development will avoid an unstable geographic area which will harm its immediate neighbors.     

     

    Fourth, the financial cost of such a large number of refugees is staggering.  As an example, if we look at the current 730,000 Haitian migrants and assume only half require financial assistance, at $2,200/month for each family (let's assume a family of 4) you're talking yearly federal expenditures of ((730,000/2)/4) x 12 which is a little over $1 billion dollars.  This neglects the state and local expenses incurred.  

     

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no "giving Cuba to Putin".  Cuba has been aligned with the Soviet Union/Russia since roughly 1960.  Also, as much as every American might dislike the current government of Cuba it is far from a "failed state".

    If you allow Haitian immigration that is foolish. It is a culture based on violence, underground economy and no education. Both US and Canada would suffer and not monetarily. CRIME!

    It is time that all citizens realize that migration is invasion by the worst of the worst.  The gop have been wrong about shipping bus loads to democratic cities, they should send the buses to Appalachia where no money exists, or to reservations and watch the media react to that. 

    Cuba is ripe for influencing now, poverty is increasing, no wheat, gasoline prices up 500%, dwindling tourism. Opening trade with YS today shd y months later Russia would be done there. Better to do that than allow China to open it the gates....and it is coming.

    Trump didn’t abandon NATO. He made them pay their fair share. Which is smart considering we were paying for everything.

    Oh come on, he recently said he would allow Putin to invade NATO countries.

    If the US under trump are going to follow isolationist policies, of all the countries in the world, why oh why would Haiti be an exception.

    Where you one of the lefties who lost there ***** when Trump called it a shithole?

    No not a lefty, just suggesting the Haiti is not worth the interest. 

    Heck, if Trump will abandon NATO, wtf does anyone want to get involved with this piece of garbage culture. Just keep them there.

    We should care because we are humans.

    Beyond that, on a strategic level, insane, out of control regimes tend to spill over borders.

    Haiti shares a border with the Dominican Republic, which we have strong and strategic ties to.

    Haiti is not currently fixable, but the disease must be controlled, like cancer.

    There should be more ćoncern about these people running to Columbia and finding their way to the southern borders, like the 100s of thousands of African who have no redeeming value to North America except human. 

    Crooks, murderers, druggies, drug sellers. It is all too easy to be included in the invasion of North America. We have enough under educated in our cities.

    If there is an island to help it is Cuba, and the other side of the mountains in Español,  DR.

  6. The point really is, who gives a rats bum.

    The real world has enough saving to be done and this island has no reason or qualities that should entice any of us to step in. 

    Haiti has been a disaster for generations and all we would get for helping is grief. 

    It would be a waste of people and equipment.

  7. As nice a candidate that Nikki was, she was a plant by the extreme right to prove their position to GOP supporters. Never a serious candidate. 

    How sad a situation to have the second most dangerous politician in the world vs  and a man who can't remember his name and is incapable of even representing himself in public.

    How oh how did this great nation come to this, twice.

    How does a voter choose between having more cities end up like San Francisco, and senior government officials saying the famous photo of sailor kissing a lady after victory must be removed because she did not consent,  

    vs loving communist leader over historic allies we fought the war for and the hatred generated against fellow citizens and book burning.

    As I said, republicans don’t want non white people entering the U.S. it’s that simple.


    Buddy I would LOVE if immigration was as easy as it was at the turn of the 20th century. It takes an average of 7 years now!!

    Buddy!

    Don't care if it takes 27 years, illegal migration, illegal refugees are harmful to the country, economy, Healthcare, education crime, drugs.

    This is not an argument. We have ample resources to care for these people. 

     

    Wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard that. 

     

    Thousands of new Americans, who will pay taxes, start families, and so forth, is the opposite of national suicide lmao. Have you seen the demographic challenges facing other nations?

     

    I'm sorry that all you see brown folks as are terrorists, cartel members, and gangsters. I hope you have a change of heart someday. 

    Illegal means illegal. What the heck happened to Ellis Island. For every 4 good, honest and maybe hardworking people you get one violent, criminal. Not a ratio I want in my country. You don't have the resources to deal with the countries drug problems, the education problems, and the crime problems and now these are being added to. 

    The Trojan horse has arrived. The death of North America has begun.

    Owned?  You mean by, say, a pee tape?  Because he was supposedly building a hotel in Moscow?  Because he didn't impose more sanctions on Russia or give Putin Ukraine?

     

    Unclutch the pearls.  

    I didn't say he was owned, I said potentially, considering how he has responded to Putin and Russia over the past 8 yrs. His actoons must ge considered unusual to a successful US foreign policy for 75 yrs. Biden deservedly is questioned about China and Ukraine money.

     

    You have spies being arrested in the US for spying for Russia, yet the ex, and potentially the future prez cuddles up without repercussion. He sends Carlson (his future sec of state) to talk to Putin (that was not an interview). Yet the country shrugs.

    Sanctions on communists are all over the place. Ovrchskin is booed for meeting Putin. The Philly flyers beat the crap out of the Russian hockey team because communists are hated, the US hockey team is revered, the US gymnasts get cheers of USA, USA, USA, but Trump cuddles to a communist leader and ho hum...it is wow, no matter how you look at it.

     

  11. Only a few years ago the word communist would send the country into a frenzy. Today the ex pres loves a communist leader of Russia and he is condemned by a very small portion of the population, he is not brought to a congressional hearing but perhaps could become president.

    Such a sad day. Potentially trumps future sec of state kisses Putins bum and the country shrugs. 

    How is it possible that prople who fought against communism, can over look this. The country still has an ***** over the 80 Olympic hockey team victory.

    WTF has happened. The potential for trump being owned is more than just possible, but it is ok. Wow, wow, wow.

  12. My whole life I have taken the position of less guns is best. I am not a hunter but 100% respect those that are, for all the people I have met that hunt, are very respectful of the safety required. They follow rules. 

    I still believe guns with large magazines and made more for war than hunting should not be available to the public and be controlled.

    However, with the recent years of extreme liberal policies allowing for uncontrolled illegal migrants into North America, resulting in huge crime increases, the threats to law abiding citizens, the rise in drug crazed people on neighborhood streets, underground economies from illegals, to violent protests brought to our streets about issues from some distant violent countries, I have rethought my position. 

    I am a supporter of immigration, where each Immigrant is veted, and is good for our way of life can join us. Today, that is not what is happening, we have been invaded. The Trojan horse is here. It has changed me and I did nothing to have this happen, my extreme liberal friends did, and my extreme right wing friends are so stupid and involved in ridiculous debate on females rights etc have nit or will not stop this. 

    But, back to the subject, I can now see the need to defend my property, my family, whether at home, in the local mall or at the Superbowl parade.

    I have never shot a gun, but it looks to be in my future.

    Don't need any conspiracy to be against this war.  It was a bad idea from the start in 2014.  The Russians are going to prevail and will hold the territory they took.  They will go no further to occupy any non-Russian ethnic majority provinces or attack any other European country.  Everyone knows this while peddling the Europe version of the Vietnam Era domino theory.

     

    It will go down as another of Washington's failed interventions that customarily go bad for the locals.  None of them have left the target of our "help" in better shape than before the fighting.  There's no learning curve with the forever wars crowd.  

     

    None of us "right wingers" embrace or support Putin.  We simply call out bad foreign policy and criticize lousy leadership when we see it and we see it here.  If you think pouring billions more into this black hole is going to lead to victory you're dreaming.  Bookmark it!

     

     

    Can you imagine what Reagan would say about the GOP today. After taking down the wall, after liberation, after seeing Poland , Lithuania etc be freed and now the MAGA people, trump and Greene, Carlson kissing Putins bum, watching him put the old gang back again. 

    Every country in the world has corruption, Ukraine has many ex Soviet types, 

    and either trump or Biden are corrupt as an example.

    What happened to hating good old communism.

    More Dem votes, yo!

    I get a sense the vast majority of illegal migrants are not concerned about voting. 

    Legal immigration people properly screened and approved as value to the country are likely to vote.

    But the illegals,  no. And they are illegal no matter what someone set up as procedures after they have invaded. No economy can withstand this type of invading army. The lefties are far to arrogant about the USA, thinking they are invincible, the country is not, in fact the country is vulnerable to this invading army, just as Troy was to the Trojan horse. 

    Trump was not successful, Biden cannot stand up to the left. The % of the GDP is going up. There is a tipping point of anti USA people in the country. It is coming. IMHO. 

    Ps, we have reached it in Canada.

    I know it's horrible! Catholic schools and Jewish social organizations, too! It's terrible 

     

    image.png.f56cd8b68cd062eaf5f2f13a00c2885b.png

    So Catholic Schools allow catholics of all colors to attend and as recall Sammy Davis Jr. was Jewish.

    Why can tv have black awards only yet blacks can complain they do not get enough attention at the Oscar's, you cannot be fish and fowl at the same time if equality is the aim. If it is only power a group is after, which maybe the case, then the use of racism by black groups can be as racist as the KKK. 

    The time has past for the need of the black panthers and the KKK is obsolete.

    Nothing that will make their worthless lives any better, they just want to harm people. 

    A song proves there is a war against whites? 

     

    You guys are just looking for anything to claim you are oppressed 

     

     

     

    I never said oppressed, what I meant was, the shoe has changed feet. Racism is being pushed in another direction. There are now black only hockey leagues,  one University I know has a time each week that allows black only swimming in the pool.  Is this not a swing too far of the pendulum? Why not a shift of black only employees at the local factory, or black only squads in the Airforce. Does it depend on who demands it if it is racism or not?
