Kari Lake told the truth after all

[Jeff]

Trump literally said that the leftists (paraphrasing) are a bigger threat to the Country than any outside threat

Given the state of this country the last 4 years, he's been proven right.

[gcode]

I've been reading threads on X stating that 2 states have promised to send national guard troops
to Texas to support efforts to close the border... and about a dozen states have declared solidarity with Texas.
A large percentage of what you see on X is total BS so I have no idea if this is true or not.

[Jeff]

Kari Lake on Megyn Kelly said that the MSM never once contacted her about that phone call. Willing to bet they were told not to and to forget about it.

Start at 8:30 mark:

[Jon@NOWHERE]

Please cite some examples of "dangerous rhetoric". Or, rhetoric more dangerous that what the left is running with.

In a somewhat unrelated (perhaps) note... something I did not see coming, Texas could very well be where the 1st shots of the 2nd US Civil War are fired. The Feds vs. Texas National Guard.

Lots of distractions and PsyOps going on.

Don't worry the Democrats have a plan for this as well...

I was reading through that bill. I guess Neighborhood Watch Programs will be disbanded now.... because it violated a criminal's constitutional right to commit crime.



Keep it up Demonrats... keep it up.

Are you sure that's the intent? Or is it more to prevent more cases like Ahmaud Arbery's? 

I haven't heard much about this yet but News Nation has an article that doesn't make it sound so nefarious.

It's all about perspective. If a shitbird Alphabet Soup thug didn't like something, the law as I'm reading it, is so vaguely written that literally a neighborhood watch group that trained could very well run afoul of the law. 

And here's the REAL kicker, even if you are not found to NOT be breaking the law ( yeah right), WHEN you so much as change a comma/pause in your testimony to said shitbird Alphabet soup thug, you're now guilty of lying to a Federal Agent and are going to prison. Yeah, the Fedbois ARE that evil, and they've done far more nefarious things than this likely scenario.

Been thinking about this this whole Texas vs feds and the talk of civil war 2.0. The reality is America Civil War 2.0 = WWIII. You know if America was to really divide it would send the economy into a mess. Markets would crash. Every bad actor on the world stage would take it as opportunity to act. China would take action in Hong Kong. Iran/etc would attack Israel. North Korea would go after the SK. Russia would move in every Baltic country it feels should be part of Russia. This issue could lead to much more than just securing the southern border. 

[CNCAppsJames]

Gotta insert the scary parts too ;

"(6) LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICE.—The term 'large capacity ammunition feeding device'—
"(A) means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition;
