• Never Forget

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Fri Jan 30 21:53:58 2026
    Let's never forget that Democrats, especially but not limited to Joe Biden, forced illegal immigration on American citizens.

    They did it for a variety of sick, self-serving, demented reasons, and the whole time they gave us the false narrative that they couldn't do anything about it because of the asylum law.

    There were about a dozen NYS county sheriffs who have promised to house illegal immigrants and hand them over to ICE, and I'm lucky enough to live in a county with one of these sheriffs. But today the gov announced that there will be new legislation that will forbid police cooperation with ICE.

    This is worse than what Biden did. It's like Biden sh!t himself, and governor Hochul is making us take big whiffs of it.

    That's true. And I had a lot of tolerance for them up until the Biden stuff happened. Now's their chance to distance themselves from what Biden did, but they're not doing it.

    I do believe that there is a reckoning coming. It has to be presented in a manner whereby it'll convince most normal people.

    It can't look like a Biden plot where there are no concerns about history and facts.

    I was watching a content creator today that was talking about the evidence trump was given.

    He mentioned 4 or 5 names, all were part of the current talks in Fulton county. He said that trump was given irrefutable evidence that the 2020 election was stolen. He said Trump wanted to talk about this evidence during the 2024 election and he was advised not to... He should pursue this in court.

    A few weeks ago subpoenas were given to the election comity in Fulton county and they chose not to respond to them. The DOJ was asked to step in, and they did.

    The President of Venezuela captured, and not killed, the Creator of the Smartmatic concept. I don't think this is unrelated.

    There was the recent Fulton County Election Board oversight hearings... where the DOJ was asked to assist.

    20 ++++++++++++++++ million got into the country with Biden's Open Border policies.... 20+++++++++++++++++ million were already in the country illegally
    The country was/is on the verge of collapse.

    Billions if not Trillions are being fraudulently taken from the tax payers... The deep-state and RINOs... and this and 1 man has to navigate all this and...

    You know it! That poor guy was just dreaming big in the wrong place at the wrong time. Starting a business in NY is out of the question. I'd rather base my business out of China, because at least then I know what the rules are, and what percentage of the revenue is mine. That lizard faced beach is eating people like flies.

    No I meant voters. Think about what just happened in Virginia. They had Glenn Youngkin who saved the state from the Woke Democrats... Recall the transgender guy who rapped girls and we just passed around to different schools, the father of one of the girls was arrested because he spoke his views at the school board meeting.

    Welp, they just elected a new Governor who ran as a moderate... She wanted to make the cost of living better for the residence of Virginia...

    Who caused the inflation and hi costs?? The Democrats??? Well, apparently they are going to fix the problem they caused.

    New Governor is suggesting 50 new taxes.

    Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
    New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
    Large employer tax
    Gun and ammunition tax
    New income tax brackets
    Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
    Investment income tax
    Event tax
    Storage facility tax
    Gym membership tax
    Dog walking tax
    Dog grooming tax
    Counseling tax
    Digital personal property tax
    New car taxes and highway use fees
    Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington
    Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)
    Vehicle repair tax
    Home repair tax
    Dry cleaning tax
    Rideshare tax
    Fantasy sports tax

    Just to name a few....

    There is a small revolt going on in Virginia because apparently they didn't learn and believed hook-line-and-sinker the lies that the new Governor was a moderate.

    NOT EVEN A MONTH and they are regretting voting her in.

    I'm not sure if its professional dog walkers having to pay the new tax or is it every time you walk your dog you have to pay a tax.

    If there were more "normal lefties" Not the FAT BLUE HAIRED ONES, the normal ones. Virginia may not have happened, it was the people in the north east that voted her in.

    Everyone must suffer now because of the Kool-Aide drinking Democrats buying up everything the woke says.

    They are also wanting to reduce the mandatory minimums of violent crimes.

    Less that a month and people are complaining about the cost increase... carbon tax...

    I argue that if some of the "Normal Democrats" wakeup to what their party actually stands for and move to the right NY might get rid of Hochul and others like her.

    BTW, less than a month and the left is protesting Mamdani's official residence.


    That sounds like good advice. "Don't talk about it until you're
    presenting the facts to a judge in court." That's the way to do it. Otherwise, the left will find ways to ruin everything.


    I think there will be some changes during the next few months. As I have said about the Venezuela President is part of the conspiracy... Smatmatic and Dominion Technologies and other entities like George Soros and whatnot.

    They are putting their ducks in a row right now and some of this stuff may start to make sense in the weeks to come.


    He can do it. Pray for him. I do it every night. I pray for his health, happiness, and success in bringing justice back to America. And then I pray for health and happiness for Melania, Barron, Don Jr, Eric,
    Tiffany, and Ivanka (and Bruce Blakeman.)


    And this is what we should do. We have to celebrate or victories and stay focused on the end goal.

    Yea, they should be waking up right about now. But unfortunately for them they have 2 monsters to deal with now: a Communist in the governor's mansion, and sleazy RINO pieces of trash in their state's GOP (like Winsome Earle-Sears.) Looking at back at how it unfolded, I don't think things would be much different if Earle-Sears had won.

    Who caused the inflation and hi costs?? The Democrats??? Well, apparently they are going to fix the problem they caused.

    There's a game that we're all familiar with.

    Large employer tax
    Gun and ammunition tax
    New income tax brackets
    Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders

    Oh yea, I'm sure George has a huge to-do list for her.

    I argue that if some of the "Normal Democrats" wakeup to what their party actually stands for and move to the right NY might get rid of Hochul and others like her.

    I don't know what goes through their minds, but I know from experience that the NY leftists are brainwashed by the media and education systems. I fell into the trap, and I was one of them. They mold us (NYers) into something that we're not, and it seems like only a handful of us ever break out of it.

    BTW, less than a month and the left is protesting Mamdani's official residence.

    I don't know anyone from that part of the state personally, but I still doubt that it's as bad as the media says. You probably know more NYC people than I do (I'm assuming this because they flock to FL.) What are they saying about it?

    And this is what we should do. We have to celebrate or victories and
    stay focused on the end goal.

    Good point. I love the victories. They have been plentiful. It's only natural to feel addicted though, and to want more and more! :)

    BTW, I thought I was talking to Aaron and I see its a new face.

    Ahfe is a really good guy who I've met in person. I met him in person a long time ago. We're from the same county. He was a user on my BBS in the early 90s but with a different handle. I'm not at all surprised to find out that he's part of our tribe.

    There is too much on the go right now. I believe there are bad actors out there that don't give a sh!t about democracy and the American people.

    Go to YouTube and listen to the leaders of the Democracy Party talk about immigration, start with what Barry believed and work your way out. It is no different than what Trump says today.

    Something is up, something has changed.

    We are all where we are today because of the pace each of us took. There are others coming to the place we are at... They needed their own pivotal moment where they see what's going on.

    I think Trump needs to explain his case on election integrity with facts and allow those who got their ideas from the media and talking heads to move on their way of thinking.

    We need them.

    There is a segment of the left that won't move... These are the over weight blue haired freaks that no one will F**K. I don't care about them... it's the center left that I care about.

    If the facts are presented and people go in an other direction... so be it I'll Black Pill and chill out.

    There is a lot going on. Corruption at the highest levels... The west will be screwed if we can't get a handle on this.

    I think Trump needs to explain his case on election integrity with facts and allow those who got their ideas from the media and talking heads to move on their way of thinking.

    What do you think about the 20+ GOP house members who wanted election integrity as part of the deal to re-open the government? I want election integrity too, but is this how to get it? I don't think so, but I can see both sides POV in this. It can wait. The mid-term elections aren't that important. We ain't gonna legislate anything any time soon.

    The black voters have woken up as to who is really keeping them on "the plantation" and want out.

    It's really bad when, as a political party, you have to import voters from other countries because the voters here don't want you.

    Something is up, something has changed.

    What's changed is that many of the minority voters have wokrn up to what the Dems are doing.

    The Dem party has moved so far to the left that the have left most of their supporters behind. And they can't walk anything back, so they are stuck. What to do? Import voters from other countries. But that plan is failing.

    I think Trump needs to explain his case on election integrity with

    Anyone who gets their ideas from the media are incapable of thinking. Facts don't matter to those people.

    We need them.

    No, we don't. They are in the minority now. They've taken several jabs, so they'll be dead in the next decade. They are unable to reproduce, or if they do, they'll sterlize their children - so we don't have to worry about another generation of these idiots.

    There is a segment of the left that won't move... These are the over weight blue haired freaks that no one will F**K. I don't care about them... it's the center left that I care about.

    The thing here is that we think of the "center left" as being in the "middle". But the Left has moved so far left that the "center left" is no longer "center left". They are "center right" - and THEY didn't move.

    Election integrity is do or die.

    That's why I worry about the election fraud in the midterms. There are too many criminals still in office to run their Election Fraud Machines.

    I don't think so... The party has become what it is today because of Barry. I recall you agreeing with me when I made the statement that ALL the problems the US has ever had were the result of the Democrat party... Slavery, Jim Crow...

    There is a lot of evil in the world and it seems to have anchored itself to the political left.


    What do you think about the 20+ GOP house members who wanted election integrity as part of the deal to re-open the government? I want election integrity too, but is this how to get it? I don't think so, but I can
    see both sides POV in this. It can wait. The mid-term elections aren't that important. We ain't gonna legislate anything any time soon.


    I'm getting tired of the RINOs...

    I'm going to make a few calls today, Senators, my own and a couple more on the Save America Act, or whatever you want to call it.

    I think its funny AF that people haven't gotten use to Trump's negotiating style. Ask for a lot and settle for something you wanted.


    Greenland... We want it... We'll even consider taking it by force... Then the powers to be say you can't have it-have it... but you can do whatever you want .... He's like thanx and moves on. He got more than he actually wanted.

    In walks Trump on Voter ID and citizenship to vote... Everyone is running around with their hair on fire... Trump says that he wants to nationalize the elections.

    Well, I don't think that could happen because of the way they set it up constitutionally, the States decide this and not the feds.

    I don't want the feds running the elections because think about what the Democrats would do if they had the power.

    Back to the story... Now they, the RINOs, are saying... We'll give you ID and proof of citizenship but not nationalizing the elections.

    HAHAHA, idiots.

    Anyway, I think we'll have voter ID and proof of citizenship soon.


    Good point, and I do too. There are certain leftists who just need to
    have a chat with someone smart. That's all it took to change me.

    I can't stand Obama, but he was smarter than the average leftist. He made a "wise" move in pandering to the majority of the country. Most politicians only pitch gimmicks to who they think their base is, which gets them lots of applause but not lots of votes.

    I Can't put my finger on the exact day/year/whatever it all happened but the left is sick. @RonL would say the beginning of time. I always had the romantic idea that we just had policy differences.

    Recall the Nixon/Kennedy debate where Nixon agreed with JFK on something, didn't add to it... BOTH loved the country and its citizens.

    They both wanted the same things be took different routs to get there. Today JFK would be rejected from his party.

    Barry gets elected and race relations were at an all time high and once he got in it was white supremacists and that and race relations took a nose dive from there.

    I know, thats his stick... ask for more and take what you really wanted at the end.

    I think it's the other way around. Barry came about because of what the Democrat party has become.

    the problems the US has ever had were the result of the Democrat
    party... Slavery, Jim Crow...

    And it is. All our problems came through the Democrat party.

    But remember what Reagan said: It communism comes to the U.S., it will be through Leftism (paraphrasing here since I can't find the direct quote).

    There is a lot of evil in the world and it seems to have anchored
    itself to the political left.

    Because the Left is the party of totaltarianism, socialism, big gov't, etc.

    I'm getting tired of the RINOs...

    Everyone is.

    The right is a big tent, we just don't want the radical left in the mix

    For a long time, classical liberalism was very compatible with conservativism. We wanted the same things, but we differed on how to get there.

    Now those classical liberals are part of the conservative camp as the Left has moved all the way to totalitarism.

    That depends on your definition of "left". The left has always been sick.

    But for a while, the Democrat party was was not. They were very similar to the Republican party in that they both wanted the same outcome, but differed on how to accomplish it.

    It's just that the Democrat party was easier for the Left to infiltrate and take over.

For example: prioritization of Paxlovid "for non-whites first" doesn't make me angry with non-whites, but it just makes me angry with the governor and her minions. Plus I'm confident that there are thousands of black NYers holding it against her if any of their caucasian loved ones died during the era of that gimmick (we're a very mixed kind of region.)

    I'm sure sure when it was recorded, but at some point in Obama's life he was making some sense. My guess is this was prior to him getting on both knees for Georgie.

    It was at a time when they thought that they had control of the minorities. Then 2016 happened and they realized that their "plantations" weren't voting for them as much and they realized that the only way through was to import millions of illegal voters.

    When you need to import voters, your party has failed - and failed badly.

    They are wasting their money on the protests because all the "protests" are doing is showing us who the bots are - making it easy to get them arrested. The "protests" aren't swaying anyone and are now making people ask "who's paying for this?"

    The Elitists behind the scenes desperately want to stay hidden.

    I saw the affidavit that was used to get the Fulton County 2020 election records. I think they were rock solid in their reasoning, BTW about 50 or so boxes were missing at the time of warrant being exercised.

    Interesting fact... Puerto Rico called the administration talking about their issues surrounding the 2020 election and they asked the FBI ton come get their ballots and what not to look into things.

    I am lead to believe they have been their to get these documents.

    There are a couple videos... There is 1 that showed politicians in a cartoon with the song "In The Jungle" Trump was a lion... Whoopie was a Hippo... Joe Biden was a monkey as well as Barry and Mike. This video is longer... more than a minute or so.

    There is a second where there is a graph showing ballot counting and you start to see spikes in ballot counts... This is where they found the votes needed for Biden to secure Georgia. These were the votes that magically showed up in the middle of the night after the vote counting was shut down do to a toilet leaking or some thing... Someone added a 2 SECOND clip from the first video of Barry and Mike.

    Anyway, adding Barry and Mike to the second video without context is bad... or could be. The Democrats think black people look like monkeys and ran with it.

    They are doing anything they can to make Trump look racist and whatever... In walks Nicki Minaj and young votes are changing parties like never seen before.

    They won't stop trying to destroy this man.

    BTW, again, with the last document dump on Epstein it showed that Trump was/may have been the reason for ãEpstein's arrest. Trump made the call to the police and told them what he knew... and stated that Epstein's GF was involved in his organization.

    Is that what happened? Trump shouldn't mess around with memes, but nobody's perfect. (I shouldn't mess around with 4 IPAs in one night.)


    There are a couple videos... There is 1 that showed politicians in a cartoon with the song "In The Jungle" Trump was a lion... Whoopie was a Hippo... Joe Biden was a monkey as well as Barry and Mike. This video
    is longer... more than a minute or so.

    That's a lot of context that never made it to the news. So the people who are calling it "a racist video" are bananas ;)

    They are doing anything they can to make Trump look racist and
    whatever... In walks Nicki Minaj and young votes are changing parties

    I know, but Trump really should leave the internet stuff alone. He's a smart guy but this kind of stuff is just feeding the trolls.

    I saw the affidavit that was used to get the Fulton County 2020 election records. I think they were rock solid in their reasoning, BTW about 50
    or so boxes were missing at the time of warrant being exercised.

    Interesting fact... Puerto Rico called the administration talking about their issues surrounding the 2020 election and they asked the FBI ton come get their ballots and what not to look into things.

    I'm confused by this. Puerto Ricans can't vote in presidential elections, right?

    You're right the superbowl is an American tradition and Bad Bunny is a nobody to most Americans. I'm willing to bet that most Puerto Ricans never even heard of him.

    According to Brave AI:

    Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in U.S. federal elections, including presidential and congressional elections, because Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and not a state. Despite being U.S. citizens, people living on the island do not have voting representation in Congress or in the Electoral College.

    Puerto Ricans can vote in federal elections only if they reside in one of the 50 states or Washington, D.C. and are registered to vote there. This applies to all U.S. territories except American Samoa, where residents are U.S. nationals but not automatically citizens.

    Political participation on the island is limited to local elections and party primaries. Puerto Rico elects a non-voting Resident Commissioner to the U.S. House of Representatives and can send delegates to national party conventions, but these roles do not include voting on federal legislation or presidential elections.

    you can be patriotic for your state and your city. you can also be patriotic when no competition is involved, like the 4th of July.

    hell, imagine being patriotic by just encouraging people to stop watching the b.s. on the news and actually visit the US? there are French people on youtube who came here to visit that are more patriotic, waving the flag for America, than half the American citizens who live here.

    why do you care what other people do? "live and let live" doesn't mean "they didn't live and let live so why should i". be the bigger person! right? ;)

    Sorry... I thought I Bad Bunny was Puerto Rican, that's where he got the Spanish speaking from.

    My wifes dead uncle would have been a better choice for the 1/2 time show.

    This reminds me of my Puerto Rican story...

    I knew a "Puerto Rican"... He was from NYC and was now in Florida. I think I told you I was on the Bord of Directors for Pop Warner Football for my region.

    Anyway, we use to talk at the games and I got to know him.

    John loved to speak in Spanglish, a little of both languages, to flirt with the ladies... This point is key.

    He told me one time he saved up his money and his sister and he went to Puerto Rico... Once he was their and he was talking Spanish with the locals they asked him where he was from... he said here... I'm Puerto Rican... They laughed and said ... You're New YorRican, not Puerto Rican...

    He almost died inside... He drove a car with a PR flag off the RV mirror... wore PR jewelery... You get the idea. I'm not sure if he ever recovered. He saw himself as a Puerto Rican and not a new Yorker.

    More to the story.

    He'd come to the games and he was telling me how he was flirting in Spanglish with some young girl at Subway and she was giving him a free sandwich. Not Epstein young... I think she was like 22 and he was 40.

    I said... John... there may be a day you'll have to "Pay" for those sandwiches, you understand what I mean right... he said no no, everything is fine.

    And then he comes to a game and says... Joe!!! you were right... I have to start "Paying".

    She was this skinny Florida Cracker... Every time she came around you could hear the banjo from Deliverance play... we lost touch with each other and I happen to be in the area with my wife to go on a cruise... and I see John... I get his attention... He's excited and comes over with a baby.

    Holds him up and says this my son... Carlos Juan Jorge Pedro Jesus Manuel, you can't get any more Puerto Rican than that ... he's a Cracker Rican.

    We can save it... They may have crossed a few lines this time. FCC may
    be fining the NFL because of the horrid words (in Spanish) that were
    sung on live TV.

    We can save it, but only by eliminating the entire management of the NFL (especially HR).

    The problem here is that organizations, especially successful ones, tend to move toward bloat. They hire people of doubious value because some managers like to play the "I have more people than you do" game with the other managers.

    Most companies, at some point, purge all this. Some have to go through a bankruptcy for that.

    The NFL is long overdue for a purge.

    My wife said "latinos are obscene like that, so it doesn't really bother us." I don't know how right she is about that, but I don't think people should say obscene things in a venue that ought to be family friendly. Mike Powell would hate it if Bad Bunny said those things in this echo ;)

    But OTOH, Bad Bunny didn't really say anything to offend conservatives politically, and he didn't say anything about ICE. (It was other a-holes like Mack Hollins who did.)

    I actually like Karen. I always joke that "I'm Karen's brother, Aaron, and I'm calling 911.."

    Based on what I know about the "Karen" story, Karen had every right to complain about a dog not being on a leash. She should probably get a life, but at the same time, people should obey leash laws.

    Most people "play it by ear". If the law says "all dogs must be on a leash" but I see a very well-behaved dog without a lease, I say nothing - because there is no problem.

    Now, if the dog was a causing a problem and not on a leash, then we notify the authorities.

    Yea but the same goes for most music.

    That's part of the reason why I stick to country and/or Christian music these days.

    I would never complain about an unleashed dog unless it was on my property. Unleashed at the park? Nah, you have to expect crap at the park.

    I know, but for me country music isn't as sad and depressing at it used to be. I used to hate it for that reason, and I also hated it because I thought hillbillies were aholes, but now my attitude has completely changed.

    I'm not sure about that, but I get a kick out of telling people this: "I'm into Christian music, not the *other* kind of music." (Technically it's not virtue signaling because I'm just joking when I say it.)

    I still have all my old records, but I can't listen to them anymore. The musicians who talked trash about Trump ruined most music for me. I have mental sticky-notes on all their albums (e.g. "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath = human trafficking."

    And when I hear songs that used to make me sad (e.g. "Should've been a cowboy") have the opposite effect now.

    Same here. I went to school with hillbillies who bullied me, further making me dislike country music, but now the way I associate music with things has completely turned around. (And I have annoying hillbilly relatives too.)
