Weakness in dealing with illegal immigration brought down the last Dutch government, but is appears the new parliament will have a solid anti-immigration majority, and the main party responsible for weakness on illegal immigration will get trounced.

Plain and simple, tobacco is the gateway drug. I dont use canibis but I'm ok with people who choose to. My issue is with the drug laws and how canibis is used as an excuse to terrorize people of color.

Big Bob: I read the post and "none of this is true," as to what you just commented on this subject post.

We all watched what that cop did. So glad he is in jail. This is one of the most racist, un-American postings put out by the BO. The notion that cops are, judge, jury and executioner is just plain wrong.

As an originator of content and the process of presenting such, I could care less about what Google has to claim on any issues within this space.

John Steed: The Granny Clampett doppelganger is the non patriot attorney general, who would be presently impeached if Democratic Socialists had any patriotic backbone.

The far left (Manchester) Guardian is the UK's most left wing newspaper. It is no surprise that they parrot the absurd claims of the partisan Democrat prosecutors.

Anyone who has ever been in the military knows that you do not leave your guns back at camp when you go out on patrol and only go back to get them if encounter hostile forces. The rioters knew there would be armed police at the Capitol and if they intended to use them for an "insurrection" they would have taken them with them. They did NOT.

There is a better case to be made that the Antifa / BLM riots in the summer of 2020, especially the sustained seige of the White House, was actually an insurrection. Pelosi is even on videotape encouraging it.

All of us probably know people who regularly carry guns, including when they travel. I know a couple of elected officials who do so. Being a type of militia group, it is not unusual that the Oathkeepers kept their guns with them when travelling. The fact that they left them to be looked after at the hotel in Virginia instead of taking them to the Capitol shows that there was no intent to use them in any way at the Capitol. While Virginia still respects the 2nd Amendment, the gun laws of DC are somewhere between the gun laws of Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany, and the fact that the Oathkeepers obeyed those very severe gun laws again shows that there was no intent at a "coup".

Even with its biases, the Guardian still has more residual journalistm than the propaganda media in the US like NBC. One does not get news in the MSM, they get propaganda from a partisan perspective, and polls show that a majority of Americans understand that.

Big Bob, i notice the main recommendations about the use of marijuana are from users.

The medical benefits of marijuana use have all been proved to be duplicated by other approved drugs.

The legal use of marijuana is the gateway to the use more horrible drugs

As for keeping the legaluse under strict control, Dovtors jus cannon say "no".

Mike Pence is truly a good man, a smart man, a fine legislator, a true team player. On this paramount occasion, however, he may have picked the wrong team.

In hindsight, VP Pence would have been wise to work within a group of US senators to delay the certification of this terribly flawed election.

What are you saying?

Democratic Socialists acting as a herded group - a baying begotten cry for Institutional Stupidity - would cheat, lie and act corruptly, as that baying herd, to use the rarest of objects in precious stewardship, this singular blue jewel of a planet bequeathed to US by the one true God as a political cudgel to subdue the masses into Socialism /Globalism, ultimate corruption.

"Say it ain't so." The Democratic Socialists would never do that ... would they?

I will give you credit for calling them rioters, as opposed to tourists. Baby steps!
