Threats to democracy?  While the Marxist left continues to trumpet that the elected Trump will be a “threat to democracy” (no evidence of that from his previous administration), the Biden and Newsom administrations are the existential and accomplished threats to democracy as witnessed through the overflowing record of their ‘accomplishments’ to reduce freedoms on all fronts, increase confiscatory tributes on all Americans, trash any notion of national security through our mega-porous southern border, and invite an already growing list of international conflicts through our daily demonstrated national weakness.  Our Left cannot wait to hand over the country to the tender ministrations of the global elites.

Speaking of the mega-influx of illegal aliens, sociologists and political scientists have long demonstrated through the historical record that it takes an influx of only 5% of a foreign cultural element to destabilize the culture and governance of a host country.  The Democrats have reached this threshold through their planned “undocumented immigration” policy by allowing the uncontrolled release of more than twelve million aliens to join the already resident millions of the disaffected counter-cultured who are beholden to the unabashed purchase of their votes through leftwing wealth redistribution programs.

[21jan24 update]  “Iran and Pakistan are both nuclear capable.”  So reported Fox News the other day in covering their recent exchange of missiles.  Now if that were really true, would you not think that this would make banner headlines worldwide, and Israel would be delivering bunker busters to appropriate sites in that terror-sponsoring Islamic republic?  Don’t know how that piece of bull pucky got past their editors.

    Let’s talk about the border, shall we?
    Border issues have plagued the US for decades (hint: not just since Biden has been in office) Sorry about that fact check.
    Lindsay Graham just tried to convince the Republican looney tune House that the currently proposed border bill is the best deal the House is going to get.
    And, breaking news, they don’t like it. Why? Because (they think) it will give Biden yet another win (and Trump will cancel them).
    So bitch and moan my friends, but you don’t hold the high ground.

    Idiot Juanita 8:52 – Biden’s spokes-moppet couldn’t have spun a better tale of horse shit than that.
    The Dems and the left want to (and are) flooding the country with illegals who will swell the ranks of the fed govt dependent class. The feds and the press had managed to lie about the amounts of people who are now flooding in but the public and the poor Dems in the north are catching on. A “border bill” will simply add to inflation and our national debt and will actually help the Biden admin to increase the flow of illegals.
    Our country has a path to legal citizenship but the law-abiding people who followed the system got screwed. And the law breakers are being rewarded.
    This will go on as long as the American people will let it continue. I fear it will end up like the issue of slavery. Slavery was barely tolerated until it wasn’t and then the fun began.

    Re IJ 852am – this will come as a surprise to IJ and his leftwing ilk (who get their news from the lamestream), but the Democrat party, especially its leadership, are very worried about the flood of illegal aliens that have crossed their cynically porous border on their watch. The Lefties definitely feel that they have no “high ground” on that issue, especially as Biden’s border policies are compared to Trump’s and even (gasp!) to Obama’s. There is NOTHING Biden would have needed from Congress on immigration(sic) to maintain the more sane policies that Trump initiated and enforced.

    George, spin it any way you would like, no one really wants a porous border. All that crap about creating dems out of illegals is a bunch of BS.
    HR2 it’s not going over because of the dems, it’s being debated by the Republicans who don’t want it to pass because it might give Biden a win during an election year.

    It’s pretty effing simple, there’s a bill on the floor that would work toward solving the border crisis… and the Republicans are fighting against it.
    So tell me who the effing problem is again?

    It looks to me that the usual bellicose freedom caucus members along with Trump operative Mike Johnson don’t want to lose the border issue as a election talking point against Biden by going along with the Senate bill that has been proposed.
    In other words the hard right House freedom fighters would rather see immigrants drown and the border stay “wide open” (massive joke terminology) for the sole reason of not giving Biden a win and trying to stall the bill until, hopefully, the Rotting Yam gets re-elected.

    It is kind of funny actually, Trump puppet Mike Johnson is now eclipsing Biden as the guy who wants to keep the border “wide open”.
    And it sounds like Mike Johnson can’t win. If he goes along with the Senate bill the wacky doodle contingent will try to get him kicked off the podium as Speaker.
    If he doesn’t go along with it, Biden can use the Senate bill as a finding to enact emergency authorization of this bill using executive action.

    Idiot Juan – The Dems “border bill” is just another spending plan to speed up the flood of migrants. Biden doesn’t need any kind of bill at all to stop the migrants. As it is he is signalling to the whole world to flood in and Uncle Sugar will shower them with goodies.
    The R’s actually don’t have to do anything beyond sending the illegals to NY and Chicago. It exposes the lefty Dems for what they are. Posturing BSers.
    “Sanctuary Cities”! We love everybody!
    Right.

    Mike Johnson can win spectacularly… if one factors in the fact that at the moment, he has a one vote majority.

    In order to get Johnson to put it to a vote, Democrats are considering supporting Johnson if the batshit wing of the party try to unseat him as Speaker later.

    And we all note that Juanita had nothing to offer to indicate anything I said was wrong.
    Really dude, you need to follow the news. The Dem proles are starting to get more than a little pissed at Biden letting in all these illegals and shoving aside the long term poor in Chicago and NY to make way for them. The complete wacko mayor of Chi-Town is trying to hold the party line, but the Dem mayor of NY is making noises the Party doesn’t like.

    Here’s a humorous article:
    “Populism Keeps Rattling the Globe. Elites Have No Idea What to Do.”
    https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/01/20/davos-populism-political-extremism-column-00136618
    “In conversation after conversation here, I detected resignation and helplessness among business executives when it came to their counterparts in government. There’s a desperate desire to see the world’s political leaders appeal more to moderates instead of capitalizing on extremes, but there’s also recognition that the political market doesn’t easily reward the people in the middle.”
    “…the political market…”
    The political market was consumed by the idea of mob rule (pure democracy). Our country had a moderating influence called the Constitution but mob rule wanted free shit and control over the folks they just don’t like personally.
    Seems our betters have gotten the uneasy feeling that they haven’t adjusted the knobs on the control panel just right.
    Maybe the frogs are being boiled a might too quickly?
    No wonder they hate Musk so damn much. The guy is willing to piss away a perfectly good fortune while he pulls the lid off the pot and let the frogs see daylight.
    At the same time our betters whip the sheep along with the carrot of “democracy” and free shit, they try desperately to make sure the mob does it “correctly” so the betters have their neat little plans come out right. Which often involves major decision making on our behalf with zero democracy.
    They created a huge population of proles who have the trappings of being educated and free so as to drive them into a life akin to being an animal in a zoo.
    I’ve heard that it’s a VERY nice zoo.
    You will own nothing and be happy.
