North Carolina should indeed adopt a similar law making it a state crime for an illegal alien to be in our state. Courts have approved such laws in two other states so far. The problem? Big Ag which sees exploitation of illegal alien labor as part of their business model. Our own district just kicked out a legislator who is a champion of border security, Keith Kidwell, to replace him with a Big Ag hack. Shameful. Elections have consequences.

This was a terrible, terrible decision for America. Roberts and Barrett should be ashamed on themselves. Making up new meanings for the Constitution is something liberals do.

The Amy Comey Barrett problem is not primarily a DEI problem. It is primarily a fixation on Roe v. Wade problem. Those making court picks in the first Trump administration, especially for the SCOTUS had such a tunnel vision on Roe v. Wade that they neglected to vet like they should have on other issue areas. Barrett voted fine on abortion issues but has been lacking in so many other issues. Don't get me wrong. I personally rejoiced at the reversal of Roe v. Wade. but Barrett screws up far too often on much more important issues like this insanity of birthright citizenship and freedom of speech. Thomas and Alito are full spectrum conservatives and much more trustworthy than anyone Trump has appointed to the SCOTUS. I think Trump has realized this and that his future appointees will be more like Alito and Thomas than his first term appointees. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh sometimes go bad, too, but not nearly as often as Barrett. I saw on another site where someone called her Amy Commie Barrett.

Thune's refusal so far to replace the partisan Democrat hack who serves as parliamentarian of the senate is also a huge roadblock because that office determines what is allowed in a "reconciliation" bill that is exempt from the filibuster. The current holder of that office was appointed by Harry Reid and has a history of letting Democrat put whatever they want in a reconciliation bill but highly restricting Republicans. She should have been shown the door as soon as Republicans took Senate control, but Mitch McConnell refused to do that, and so far, so has Thune. This Either that Democrat hack needs to go or the filibuster does.

Little Bobbie, it was a lot hotter than it is today during the previous warm cycle, the centuries long Medieval Warm Period, and our planet thrived. Indeed, the very hottest of past warm cycles, the Holocene Maximum, was much much warmer than toda y, and that coincided with the heyday of ancient Greek civilization. You climate alarmists simply don't know your climate history. Warming cycles have always been followed by cooling cycles.

Irrational Observer keeps proving he is a partisan idiot. Our entire system of government and law is based on Christian ethics (principles). A totally uninformed individual.

So? Why cant he references Christian ethics?
I know several people who are NOT Christians but still respect and admire Christian ethics? One could think of it as a goal to achieve.

The Green New Deal scam is part of the climate scam, but it is much more sinister than just that. AOC's Chief of Staff, speaking of the Green New Deal just after AOC introduced it, stated, "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we think of it as a 'how-do-you-change=the-entire-economy' thing".

Roadkill: you're dead on the money, dude. The way things operate now publicly/ behind the scenes for years blows the minds of the general public at large. Problems at hand then become put in file 13 and labeled as "conspiracy theory"; they shut down and look like they've seen a ghost.

Then there's the milk toast Republicans/closet bizarro Neo-Cons who know what's going on and refuse to actually do anything to gain back position on the console; they don't want to lose that kickback or their seat at the Country Club Gala.

Those who know what's going on are very few in number. Nothing is black and white...just different shades of gray.

Its my belief that the complexities of Govt has outgrown the ability of most human brains to manage. Either that, or they are just too lazy to think about these things for more than 2 minutes. Its EVERYWHERE.
Too many times we have asked a City Council member a question and their response has been, "I dont know, I'll have to ask the City Manager."

The high cost of medical care and health insurance goes directly back to the flood of illegal alien parasites the Biden regime allowed into the country. Under federal law, hospitals cannot turn away anyone, including illegal aliens from Emergency Rooms, so that is where illegal alien deadbeats go for "free" health care. Hospitals absorb this grift by padding the bills of paying patients and their insurance companies to cover their losses on the illegal alien deadbeats. Some hospitals in the southwest have been on the verge of bankruptcy trying to cover this financial drain. It is hurting all hospitals.

That law needs to be changed so that hospitals are not required to give routine health care to people who are illegally in the couuntry. They ought to have to raise charitable funds to run a charity ward, not bill it to paying patients and their insurance companies. Genuine acute emergencies like a car accident or heart attack maybe should be different, but illegal aliens should not be getting routine care at the expense of paying American patients as is happening now.

Parents ought to always watch what public schools, or any schools, are teaching their kids. There is too much crap being fed to their little minds these days. Kids should not be groomed for a deviant lifestyle by the schools.
