Equality doesn't come with any guarantees, but it does give every man the same chance.
Voter suppression...is not equality.
Someone should abolish voter suppression.

Biden's sudden centrist push on immigration

https://www.axios.com/2023/01/13/biden-border-security-democrats

I keep seeing reports about how we need immigration and we are underemployed but what about the homeless in the streets, what about hospitals being strained with the newcomers, jump in crime rates. They are not escaping Nazi Germany or communist Russia. If you cannot survive with your own people you will not thrive in a modern society. Just bring it down to your level. Basically nannies, drug dealers, and gang bangers. Biden finally feels the pain, hears the cries of enough already?

Seems to be.
Took Britain, Italy, and the rest of Europe long enough, but they finally woke to up to the folly of "open borders".

The USA is alone as being the only nation where ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, and we made a lot of progress in the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement in the USA, and we passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which is the Equal Opportunity Act, so we all have an equal shot at jobs, and then we have the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which is the Fair Housing Act, so we all have an equal shot on housing. We have Civil Rights, and ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. That is the first thing that people need to learn when they come to the USA.

And this land is your land, and this land is my land, this land belongs to you and me. Like Woody Guthrie so eloquently sang. We all are equal, and we all have the same chance for a job and for housing.

This is not Italy, and this is not France, and this is not Australia, this is the USA and we stand alone as the place that belongs to ALL people equally. The USA is the only nation with a Statue of Liberty telling the world to send us their homeless.

The Unions can help to put our immigrants to work, and then the immigrants need to be able to travel safely on public transportation with everyone else, Greyhound buses, Amtrak trains, Metrolink trains, etc, etc, etc.

The USA is for everyone, and we need to make everyone legal so that they can call the police in the case of an emergency and so that they can join a labor union, and so that they can come out of the shadows, and so that they can safely ride public transportation, etc.

We need to make everyone legal like Reagan did, and then we need to write a new law that includes a Good Neighbor policy.

Salute,

Tony V.

With respect, the inscription on the Statue of Liberty was written long ago. pre 9/11.
The world changed forever after 9/11.
It was learnt by America, sadly and at terrible cost, that it could not trust anyone.
Yes, no one can be trusted anymore.
There are suicide bombers dressed as businessmen on planes.
Immigrants blowing up Marathon crowds.
There are shoe-bombers, underwear-bombers, bra-bombers, all kinds of killers ready and waiting to blow up America/ns.

Absolute security demands that every immigrant, whether legal or illegal, has to be thoroughly screened to ensure they pass the U S govt's requirements for permanent residence.
Also, America is basically full...with only room for immigrants who meet strict criteria.
Certainly no room for drug lords, gang bangers, criminals of any kind...and that's before culture, is taken into account.
People are already leaving some US cities in droves...
"Top 10 cities in America people are leaving", Youtube:
10. Minneapolis...'unemployment, violent crime'.
9. Chicago...'unemployment, violent crime'.
8.  'Cost of living'.
to be continued.

I will not allow a bunch of asshole terrorists to ruin my standard of living in America, and to ruin the American Dream for our immigrants.

I live in Anaheim, and we have a great economy and we have Disneyland with Tourism from all over the world. We even advertise on television around the world to invite the tourists to come to Anaheim.

Anaheim has been leading the way in the struggle to help the homeless, and we are spending a lot of money here to make Anaheim nicer for the tourists. But, Anaheim is not nice and safe like Rome, Italy. Rome is nicer than Anaheim. And in Rome there is a church on every corner, and I do not even have a church in my neighborhood. There is a Calvary Chapel on the other side of La Palma Park, but that is our only church here. We need to have more churches, like in Rome.

Our apartment complex used to be a Christian complex, with a statue of Saint Francis in front of the entrance, and a statue of Saint Anthony in the lobby, but a heartless corporation bought the complex and they removed the statues of the saints. We need for a good Christian to buy my apartment complex, and we can put statues of Saints around the complex again, and we can have swimming pool parties and barbecues, etc.

Anaheim is open for everyone, and all men are created equal here, with an equal chance for a job, and an equal chance for housing. I am lucky to live here. We just need to invest more money into making Anaheim nicer, and we need nicer landscaping like in Saint Augustine, Florida, and like Rome, Italy, and we need to build more churches.

We have Chapman film school for the film enthusiasts, and we have Fullerton Community College, and we have Cal State Fullerton, and we have a great medical school, the University of California Irvine, so we have good schools.

We also have Disneyland and 50,000 tourists come to Anaheim each and every new day, and they spend a lot of money in Anaheim. If one can learn how to sell stuff to the tourists then one can have a good life. Even just selling sandwiches and coffee to the tourists will grant one a good life, you can buy a nice house with a swimming pool, etc. The lady who owns the In N Out Burger restaurant chain is a billionaire, you can earn a fortune just by hiring young beautiful women to sell hamburgers for you. I was going to hire a beautiful young woman who knows how to speak Spanish and English to run a coffee shop for me in my neighborhood, I can make money and she could do all of the work and she could run the place. But, it would not be like in Rome, if I own a night club in Rome then I want to work there and run the place myself and I want to cook for the customers myself, etc. I was a cook at a casino in Nevada, so I know how to cook and how to run a restaurant. If I owned a club in Rome then I could have a Christian club with the students from the Christian music school playing at my club, the students from the Saint Louis College of Music could play at my club in Rome and I could cook for people.

But, here in Anaheim I do not have any desire to cater to the people here anymore, the first thing that I did when I first came to Anaheim was to try to get a job at Disneyland, and I tried to get a job at all of the hotels and restaurants around Disneyland, I walked all over Anaheim trying to get a job, and no one would hire me. And as an actor and writer I have been trying to get work and to make my movie and publish my poetry book, etc. I did not want to grow old poor and alone, I wanted money and a good wife.

I am just a straight White Christian and for me Rome, Italy, is perfect. The USA sucks if I have to grow old poor and alone here. And I just want a straight White Christian wife. And I love the women in Italy. It seems like here in the USA everyone wants to fight against me instead of letting me make money and have a family and buy a home. I do not give a fuck about other people if I am not allowed to have my own life. And I am color blind, so I could never join the military and I could never be a cop, I cannot see the color of clothing and of cars, etc.

I tried to move to Rome, Italy, in 2003, I spent 6 weeks in Rome, and if I could have gotten a job in Rome then I would have stayed in Rome. And I have to get my own good human rights, as a straight white Christian. I need to be able to succeed as a straight white Christian.

In the USA everyone needs to have the same chance at a job and housing, otherwise if you have to be poor and homeless then the USA is just bullshit. Or if you have to live on welfare. We need to be able to make money and to be able to afford housing, etc. If scumbags like Donald Trump live the good life here, while I have to be a bum, then fuck it, I would rather go live in Rome, Italy, with the straight White Christians.

Salute,

Tony V.

Good piece.  Brooks has disappointed me with mushy "intelligent conservatism works if, um, we all do the right thing" invisible hand stuff.  His logic gets pretty circular sometimes.  I'll bet cannibalism would work if we'd all just get on the same page!  If he was as good at interrogating his conservative philosopher heroes as he was at interrogating leftist dogmas, I'd start listening to him more.  He's still pretty good at news analysis on his PBS slot, so I'm not saying he can't be a shrewd observer of the circus.

This bit so nailed it I'm quoting it here...

The conviction that conservatism cannot fail leads right into one of the mechanisms that drive authoritarian movements. When things do go wrong it s too easy to believe it must be because of the (other) -- external enemies who are not true believers, who become scapegoats. Authoritarian leaders use this to persuade their followers that anything that goes wrong is not their fault...

The hollow heads of conservatives are filled with disjointed echos of some bullshit they heard and misunderstood decades ago.

Adam Schiff has thrown Biden under the bus.
Schiff is a pencil necked lying geek but he has this one  right.
Biden had no authority to have ANY classified  documents as Vice President but he did.
His stupidity( at best) ) blew up the Mar a Lago case against Trump.
Biden is toast.

"In 2020 a little Amish girl, 12 years old, got pregnant in Missouri by one of her four brothers."
"I created a 'Safe Touch' / 'Not Safe Touch' poster to educate the little Amish children, and I took some advocacy training and became the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Amish Rescue Mission in hopes to give these little children a voice.
We have currently added interpreters, a hotline and safe houses for victims who are in current abusive situations."  -- Rachel

Well there you go.
Time for change.
Maybe Washington could help Rachel bring about change.
