Hence we have millions of illegal aliens that have crossed the border from 2021 thru 2024. It is only recently being more enforced because the tide turned on that fiasco and the American people finally woke up. They are woke some might say but not in the way it is usually used. mspart

Well, I guess we will see what happens then eh? mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5092006-cnn-defamation-lawsuit-zachary-young-navy-veteran/ Jury finds CNN defamed Navy veteran with segment on Afghan refugees by Dominick Mastrangelo - 01/17/25 1:25 PM ET A jury in Florida on Friday found that CNN defamed a Navy veteran with a report on his business that aired in 2021 and awarded him $5 million damages. Punitive damages will be decided by later today the rest of the article says. Oh but wait!!!! https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-found-liable-defaming-u-173150968.html (Reuters) -CNN reached a settlement on Friday with a U.S. Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan after the U.S. military withdrew from the country in 2021, a judge said on Friday, hours after a jury found the TV news outlet liable for defaming him. The six-person jury decided CNN had to pay damages totaling $5 million. The settlement will avert a second phase of the trial that would have determined any punitive damages. CNN cried UNCLE. I was not aware that a settlement could be reached after a jury verdict is reached. CNN was in a very bad place if they went this route. They screwed up. They thought they were able to do and say whatever they wanted. And they were wrong. This shoudl be a huge cudgel to other "news" entities to be truthful and not opinionated. mspart

You are correct. But with that logic, why have any laws at all if the exec branch can determine which ones they will enforce and which ones they will not. But by passing a new law with support of most of the people int he country it sends a message. Anger will follow if it is not enforced. I think that is the power in a new law. mspart

Yes, I would create a bill to give no federal assistance to cities, counties, and states if they are not assisting federal law enforcement with regard to illegal aliens. It would withhold all funding. I doubt anyone will do that but it should be done. mspart

What is it about Hegseth that creates the opposition? I thought he represented himself well before the committee. He obviously has the welfare of the troops as his top concern. Is that bad? mspart

Hey, this was a serious request. I have one week to make this jerky and I'm looking for input . If there is no input, that is fine, but I thought his would be something to re-energize this thread. mspart

People can buy what they want. I think though that it is not for the utility of the machine. Rather it is a status symbol. I have money and I can buy this stupid looking thing because I can. Different than that Smart car. It is stupid looking but is not near as costly. mspart

Immigration law, as written and codified, is not being followed. That's why we have an illegal alien problem. There is already law to not let that happen but when the executive branch is derelict in their duty to uphold the law, you need to re address the situation. mspart

Any additions to the card? mspart

I won't be buying one soon. We have a Palisade that doubles as our pickup truck. Stuff stays dry and we can haul grandkids. mspart

I looked up Dodge Ram 1500 and it was 40K. I didn't do an in depth analysis. that is a crazy pic. mspart

There were enough normal Ds that it passed quite easily. But that fact that 158 Ds voted against it is a testament to how much the Ds hate the country and love illegal aliens more. The excuse is that a victim of sexual assault, if here illegally, would get caught up in deportation. He/she should not be here in the first place. I have no issue with this. mspart

I just did a search on how many cyber trucks have been sold. According to the google, 27k+ have been sold. What a bunch of morons is all I have to say. There are a few that I see as I drive around. There are a few tings against it: 1. Ugliest vehicle ever made. Even a panzer has more pizzazz. 2. It is not a truck really, it cannot replace a normal pickup in practice. 3. At $80k a pop, not worth the money. Especially at twice the cost of a normal pickup. mspart

Not too many MSM outlets represented. This must be against DEI methods as the majority of MSM is not represented. mspart

According to Hegseth and the FOX employees he cites, you have apparently been mislead. Who appeared drunk in this hearing? Hegseth or Hirono? And was not Sen Mullin's comments correct and germane? mspart

The ceasefire was on, then off, then on then off, and now on. What's going on? mspart

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-hegseth-drinking_n_67869490e4b0d06aefb76db1 Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) first confronted Hegseth, a former Fox News host and Army veteran, about allegations he had a drinking problem. “I have read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work, including by people who worked with you at Fox News,” Hirono said. “Senator, those are multiple false anonymous reports peddled by NBC News that run directly contradictory to the dozens of men and women at Fox News Channel who I worked with and said they never saw that,” Hegseth said. Looks like it is a case of she said he said. Hegseth is calling bull on the "reports" and he was under oath while doing so. So mush for the "documented and current drinking issues" concern. msaprt

I thought they already did a bill about deporting illegal felons. Isn't that so? Or is this the Senate vote? mspart

As a non lawyer, I don't speak lawyer. I do depend on those that do to explain things to me. If you find fault with Turley's reasoning, that's fine, but he gives his reasoning unlike others that don't. I have already given my opinion based on Smith's use of the term insurrection in the document when the DOJ has not tried anyone on that charge. It seems incongruent to claim an event was an insurrection and not prosecute any cases on that basis. It stretches credulity. mspart

But you are not answering the question. Husker was obviously being hyperbolic much like you are in excusing the government and absolving them of any culpability in this wreck of an incident response. To put your argument into perspective, Californians pay 0.22 Trillions in state taxes and 0.507 Trillions in Federal taxes. You see, they pay trillions in taxes. Stupid argument to pick UB. mspart

The situation is crazy when citizen legislators vote against the interests of the citizens. What is in the interest of the citizens to keep illegal alien felons in the country? mspart

Hence the general mistrust of the DOJ among voters today. The DOJ/FBI have lied over and over again to the courts and the people. There is no trust anymore in the DOJ. Is Jack Smith any different? Maybe he's a straight shooter, but he got convictions that were later overturned and used extrordinary means to secure those convictions. Jonathan Turley called this out and predicted Smith's next move with incredible accuracy as noted in my post above. mspart

And rockets. mspart

Agreed. Not sure why Israel would would agree with this. mspart
