  1. The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet. And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion. State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45

  2. Ain't it funny that employees get fired from their jobs all the time for posts and tweets they do on-line; simply because as an employee they represent their company. I guess the NFL owners/Billionaires do not want to deal with the disrespect to our nation so they joined in.

    Really sad.

    Not only am I NOT watching the NFL this season, I will not be watching any Golden State Warriors games in the NBA.

    There is a difference between protesting racism and strife in our society and disrespecting the nation. This generation does not see or acknowledge the price paid by our vets and the country to allow them the liberties of protesting. Freedom has never been and will never be - free. Someone pays a price!

  3. I can not wait until they do away with each state having their own gun laws. I am a concealed carry holder from Texas, and I believe ours is the best system of training prior to licensing. I hate the idea that some states allowing concealed carry without training. I picture in my mind some dumbie buying a gun without having ever fired a gun. Something like licensing a person to drive a car without a road test. LOL

    It would be a huge relief if I did not have to worry about each individual states gun laws as I travel. :):):)

  4. I find it so funny that the Canadian Prime Minister stated to the world that Canada will welcome all immigrants who seek citizenship. As immigrants cross the border - they are immediately arrested. LOL

    Now I see in the news that after a few thousand have arrived in Canada, they worry once the weather clears lots more will be coming.  

    I hope they get their wish & I want to hear how their opinions change after a million or more show up. Increased crime, overloaded welfare system, problems in public education, etc. :):):);) 

    Try getting over 15 million like America.

  5. Help me understand - We give citizenship to these people because they are supposed to be under threat in their country. Yet, they travel back & forth between the two like there is no problem. So by receiving US citizenship; the supposed threat is gone?

    If you are in such dire circumstances that you must seek out a new country to live in? Why do they spend so much time going back & forth?

  6. I seriously think the United States of America should stay out of the country of Syria EXCEPT for going after terrorist. Syria has NEVER been an ally of the USA and NEVER will be. Let Russia, Turkey and the United Nations deal with the internal war. Stop supplying the rebels with any aid what-so-ever! This is NOT the 1960's war in Vietnam. Russia supplied it's allies in that war but we should have learned a lesion from it. Nothing to be gained in opposing Russia in this country. :)

  7. I don't believe I have ever seen the Democrat's so pissed before! (Been around 6 decades plus)

    I realize many women hated Trump, and loved Clinton but this nonsense is extreme.

    Funny how so many voted for Obama wishing for change, but all they got was Obamacare. 8 years of doing nothing except helping LGBT, Muslims, and immigrants; while disregarding the hulk of our citizens. We traded good paying career jobs for minimum wage jobs. The Middle Class suffered, and the poor got poorer. The rich always find a way to maintain/increase their wealth.

    Our national debt is ever increasing and hate is spreading across the nation.

    I voted for Trump for three reasons: 1) A businessman should be well versed in fixing our economy and bringing back prosperity. 2) Tired of the old Washington political broken promises. 3) Our national defense, and foreign relations are at any all time low.

    This proposed march on Washington will do nothing to help our nation. The Democrat's seem to not care weather our country heals, comes together or tears itself apart. We even see Democratic politicians attempting to denounce Trump as the President. Total insanity.

    If you think Bush left a lot of problems for Obama; it is nothing compared to what Obama has left for Trump.

  8. I think racism is a disease we all have to learn to recognize & work towards eliminating.

    Every race has racism. You can not point a finger at any race and say that they are more or less racist then another.

    America works on curing diseases, yet has not made a serious effort at wiping out this one. There is much more effort, time & money being spent to change the hearts & minds of our country concerning LBGTQ. That only accounts for 2% of the population while pretty much ignoring the 98% of our population. They (LGBTQ) are not even a race!

    In my minds eye, there is as much more prejudice against folks who have, and those who have-not in our society. Folks tried to say that Donald Trump was prejudice against a certain race, when in fact, he only cares about those who have big bucks. Without regard to what color they are.

    Free enterprise allows for the mega rich, as it also allows for the dirty poor. Everyone stuck in the middle must shoulder the burden of the less fortunate. The outrage I witnessed this election was due to the mega rich (Individual & Corporate) who have forgotten that if you cut down the number of Middle Class - the burden of taxes and welfare falls on those able to pay the bills. If you reduce the Middle Class to working poor - revenue from taxes must come from the rich.

    We live in interesting times! LOL :)

  9. Praising the military during holidays is the American way. Screwing them all the other days of the year is too.

    It's like a politician telling folks to vote for them for lower taxes; then turns around and raises taxes.

    I hate that these Middle Eastern immigrants get treated better than American folks on welfare. Now I also hear that Obama wants to take in immigrants that have been rejected by European countries. Don't ya think there might be a reason why they were rejected?

    The accepting immigrants from the other side of the world after we have the world's worst immigration problems already is insane!

    The other day I heard that America even pays unemployment benefits to illegals? Really? I give up! :(

  10. These are rebels, once backed by the US government, who are fighting against the established government of Assad. Backed by Russia.

    They are hoping that the UN can intervene and stop the fighting but with Russia on the UN Security Counsel, no intervention is coming. The United States of America will not risk WWIII to save them.

    They need to surrender and stop the loss of life. Not saying I agree with Assad but this is getting ridiculous. Syria has never been, nor will ever be an ally of the USA.

  11. I really enjoy watching the Democrat's revolution. All the illegal immigrants, tree huggers, and LGBTQ folks marching down the streets. Funny thing is: none of them own guns so what kind of revolution can you have without guns? I hear that they were throwing trash at the police. LOL

    Had Hillarious won I bet we'd have seen a respectable revolution. :)
