Many Hispanics are voting for Trump. So if they have the time to settle in the U.S., they will actually Americanize. Obviously, the Democrats are not in favor of that. So they're flooding our borders with illegal immigration.
Florida and Texas are both heavily Hispanic. Yet they are reliably Republican.
Thank you very much for the link.
Which two generations?
I say the boomers are the main culprits. They offshored our manufacturing, technology, tax base, and money, and imported cheap labor, so they could get their tech toys for less.
To descend to lesser things: I knew I had written a story of worth in ‘The Hobbit’ when reading it (after it was old enough to be detached from me) I had suddenly in a fairly strong measure the ‘eucatastrophic’ emotion at Bilbo’s exclamation: ‘The Eagles! The Eagles are coming!’. . . .
The Eagles Are Coming | Compilation of Scenes from TLOTR&Hobbit
From the comments:
I love the eagles. Whenever they showed up, you knew things were gonna be alright...
-- yessir, it's like the ancestors are coming to your aid
More than a passing similarity to:
Matthew 24
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Lore, or LOTR?
John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The further we remove ourselves from the creator the less likely we will survive as a democratic Republic form of government...
My guess is we will evolve into a purely democratic state dominated and controlled by one party... assuming the constitution is changed to remove the electoral college...
Even today the ability of independents winning elections is tough... it likely will never happen in the future as the central government becomes even more powerful...
An increasingly far left SCOTUS, whether packed or not, will only feed the growing central government...
Only a revival of the church and conservative values will stem this tide... I pray such happens... but I am not confident in such...
Dagney Taggert is the main female character in “Atlas Shrugged”...........
Thank you-when I was going through high school, I stopped reading for pleasure, and didn’t start up again until I was a few years in the Navy...
One of the first books I read when I started back up was “Lord Of The Rings”.
From the very first time I read that book, that scene “The Eagles are coming!” it felt very different to me than the rest of the book.
Rescuers when all hope is lost.
I agree. Thankfully I'm on the downhill side of life, but something could rise from the ashes of the USA. No nation lasts forever.
I think you need to look up the definitions.
Your lil bit of history sure has a good vibe.
See, and for some odd reason I thought to ping you.
That must have been it. 🙂
*Rescuers when all hope is lost.*

Yeah but she didn’t have the Omega 13.
It makes all the difference,
leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions. The army which carries the Omega 13 before it is invincible.

Jordan Peterson gesticulates madly while explaining-I found this HIGHLY entertaining from a brilliant man.

I admire Dinesh D'Souza, who made this available to watch for free, putting his own skin in the game:

If you need something to make you smile, both of these will do so.
If the freebees are taken away from those illegal aliens: The free food, free housing, free medical, free dental, free legal and on and on and on...
The majority will self deport. And, if they need a "helping hand" to get back to their home countries (after, say X number of months), I'm ok with paying for their one-way ticket back.
There has to be congressional buy-in to the cutting of funds. As in, just cut off the funds, totally.
Many of the illegal aliens would go back home if they have no job, no free housing, no free food, etc.
That has to be part of it.
And, that only has a possibility of happening if (R)'s turn out to vote in (R) control of the congress.
If the (D)'s win, it's the exact opposite and there undoubtedly will not be a "we'll get em next time" for several generations at the earliest.
(not a typo)
Agree...completely.
I watched the J.P. vid so far.
You're right. That certainly was fun and uplifting.
The other day I posted this observation (fairly brief, not a usual TL DR posting, heh) about the timing of ellipse vs. ellipsis re the "garbage" story line . You might enjoy the humor in the peculiar integration of the words and events.
What I didn't include was that The Ellipse is a pretty symbolic place -- there's the Meridian Stone and Zero Milestone, but also it's the place of the National Christmas Tree and the National Menorah, and of their illumination of course.
And besides, the ellipsis/ellipse etym trail(s) is a fun ride as well:
ellipsis
Etymology
Unadapted borrowing from Latin ellipsis, from Ancient Greek ἔλλειψις (élleipsis, “omission”). Doublet of ellipse.
>>>
ἔλλειψις
Etymology
ἐλλείπω (elleípō, “to fall short, omit”) + -σις (-sis, verbal noun suffix), the former from ἐν- (en-) + λείπω (leípō, “to leave behind”).
***
Sins of oh mission! 😉
Finally, I had to laugh because "South Park":
The Ellipse, sometimes referred to as President's Park South...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ellipse
😁
We are currently living in occupied territory. The democraps overthrew the US government.
Etymology is a fascinating subject, especially in the English language which has taken so much from many other languages.
