WELDING those flood gates open, as the New York Post reports is NOT a temporary measure, and it fits right in with the Biden border patrol opening gates, cutting wire barriers put up by Texas, suing to stop Texas' floating barriers, etc. When conditions require floodgates to be opened, they need to be closed back after those conditions pass, NOT welded open for all time, and they need to be closely guarded while open.

Sorry to be the one to tell everyone the truth about this...but a very important part of this story was left out by some of the ones currently reporting on it! The floodgates are literally floodgates, and Border Patrol was also opening them during Arizona's monsoon season when Trump was in charge.

As environmentalists have warned since the former administration began its construction of the border wall, the force of flash floods caused by seasonal rain and the debris they carry would topple the border wall without open floodgates. This is a problem that has already been documented on multiple sections of the wall!

Watch this guy's video to see what I'm talking about: twitter.com

Believe it or not, this is what I found out so please don't shoot the messenger...

Yes, we do.

The important thing here is that 2 RINO politicians, Greg Murphy and Randy Walker, support cancel culture against the South. We all need to remember that when we go into the voting booth in the primary.

Major online platforms should not refuse to offer their services in totalitarian jurisdictions like the EU. Let anyone going online in the EU get a screen that says "Sorry, Freedom of Speech does not exist in your country, and we cannot operate there"

You are badly mistaken on the actual facts, Bob. Election procedures vary widely in the United States because our Constitution gives control of elections to the states and not the national government. Within states, there are areas that are well run and honest and those that are not. At the height of Mayor Daley's corrupt Chicago political machine, elections in downstate Illinois rural counties were honest and aboveboard.

After the 2000 election, a national commission was set up, chaired by Democrat former President Jimmy Carter to make recommendations on election security and ballot integrity. One of the recommendations of Carter's commission was that mail-in ballots provided a lot more opportunity for fraud than casting ballots at the polls on election day. They suggested that to the extent that mail-in ballots were used, it should be minimized.

So what did the Democrats push hard for in 2020, led by partisan Democrat lawyer Marc Elias? More mail-in ballots, the very thing Jimmy Carter said were most prone to fraud.

Having election observers present is a key to honest elections. But what did the Democrats do in 2020? In key counties in multiple states they either kicked or tricked Republican elections observers out of the counting rooms, or in some cases seated them so far away that it was impossible for them to observe the count. That is simply not something that is done when one is running an honest and aboveboard election.

The law applies to all. None are above it.

The analogy is tried and true and supported by the SCOTUS and US law. That is a fact brother, not my opinion.

Then we will agree to disagree. Honor your ancestors all you want. That's your right. However, Big Bob will never support taxpayer funding celebrating this, or any holocaust.

Actually, Bolshevik Bob, YOU are like a holocaust denier, denying real history because it does not fit in with your extremist ideology. The holoscaust, historically and factually, did happen. Those who deny it for extremist political reasons are not to be trusted. Similarly, factually and historically there WERE free blacks in the South in the antebellum South and a significant number of them owned slaves themselves. To deny that because of your anti-white racist beliefs, you are similarly not to be trusted.

History is history. Facts are facts. They should not be denied because they are inconvenient to a political narrative or agenda.

Slavery was wrong, as General Lee wrote, that it was "an institution of moral and political evil." But that does not mean that all Southern blacks at the time were slaves. They weren't. And it does not mean that blacks were not slave owners. Some of them were.

Attempts to normalize or justify this awful chapter in American history reminds me of the Neo nazi holocaust deniers. it's just sick.

The Democrat scheme to manipulate the 2020 presidential election was based on urban counties in swing states. Beaufort County was NOT a target county due to not being a big urban county. Also, our local election staff, I am confidant, is above such corruption.

North Carolina did have some of its election integrity measures downgraded due to connivance between Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias and the Democrat controlled State Board of Elections, but some of that was reversed, and the Zuckerburg - Soros election mafia did not seem to run their ballot harvesting scheme here.
