CT: I have seen that similar history, where Indian tribes fought for territory, for hunting grounds for at least hundreds of years before Europeans colonized what is now the United States of America.

These valiant warriors did not become such worthy adversaries without a great deal of practice.

Most of the Indian wars in our history were started by the Indians, like the Tuscarora War in North Carolina, where the Indians attacked without warning and slaughtered unsuspecting farm families. Some farm families were taken captive and tortured horribly.

There were wrongs on both sides between whites and Indians, and sometimes whites took one side of tribal conflicts among Indians.

It was a sin. A bigger sin is to not teach the truth. WE can't change the past, but we don't have to relive it.

How long until the American people get similarly fed up with the migrant invasion being foisted upon us by out of touch leftwing politicians and take matters into their own hands? Those leftwing politicians include RINO Sen. Thom Tillis.

The Irish government was dishonest in trying to tamp down public anger by telling half truths about the knifeman. First they said it was just "rumors" that he was a foreign national and then brazenly called him an "Irish national". In fact, he is a Muslim born in Algeria, who came to Ireland as an adult, and did have naturalized Irish citizenship. So, even after going through the motions of assimilation, he still broke bad.

Ireland has been seeing growing anti-migrant demonstrations, but they have all been peaceful until the reaction to this knife attack on elementary school children. I suspect this will become a big issue in Irish elections in the future, given the woke government continuing to promote mass migration into the country. Ireland will see its Geert Wilders.

While, as a politician, I am concerned that there was a suspension of decorum in the United States Senate in this one incident; however, I understand well the visceral satisfaction of some constituents, who may have a certain respect for a representative officials who are, literally, willing to take the fight to what they may consider a corrupt entity.

He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.

The president is a complete failure, any a-hole could do better.

Big Bob; You can't write that story, I get that.

Eastern NC Now is, however, an open platform to all who wish to express themselves in a civil manner.

There is a lesson in that Dutch election for some wimpy GOP politicians who want to wimp out on the immigration issue, and that same lesson is also there in many other recent European elections. Those like Thom Tillis who always go soft on this issue threaten one of the key issues Republicans have that will push us to victory in 2024.

I read that some think it will be bumpy in the Dutch coaltion negotiations, and the lightning rod personality of Geert Wilders may make that so. He has often gone out of his way to court controversy, like announcing a contest for drawing Mohammed cartoons right at the time Muslims were rioting over that very issue, but hopefully they will be able to get beyond that quickly. Those three parties align well on issues. While Wilders party talks of "zero asylum seekers", the New Social Contract campaigned on putting a low cap on total intake of immigrants and asylum seekers at a level of about ten percent of the number of just asylum seekers entering last year. The VVD's new leader has been their party's most forceful advocate of cracking down on illegal immigration and campaigned on things like restricting the ability of migrants or immigrants to bring family into the country. The Party for Freedom and the New Social Contract are both strict sovereigntists who want to reduce the powers of the EU. With the departure of Rutte, the VVD is now less globalist oriented, so they should be able to work that our.

FIghting illegal immigration is a winning issue for conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic.

One of the stories that should be told more about the Pilgrims is their failed experiment with socialism, something the late Rush Limbaugh told very well:
