As you can see in my post History I have always strongly supported and defended Trump’s pro Ukraine policy and his war against Iran, including his pro-Israel stance. So stop lying.
The times I have criticized Trump is when he makes America look weak, and when he sides with the Democrats. Or when he support Russia killing US troops. And you have the nerve to criticize me for wanting America to remain strong !? Are you opposing America’s long-term interests? Why ?
Concerning Russia / Ukraine:
Do you find it normal that America helps the rapist and not the victim of the rapist? Are those your Christian values these days? Really? Let delinquency roam is NOT a conservative value. Period.
We must support peace through strength, NOT war through weakness.
Russia has recently killed American troops in US bases in the Iran region by giving the precise target coordinates to the Iranians… yes, in the midst of the ongoing American-Iran war!
And Trump has sided with the Democrats who voted against the Graham Russian sanction law. Trump signed it into law but then refused to implement it thus helping the Neo-Soviet Government instead and its pro-Iran deeds. At that point he sided with the Democrats (who like him opposed the law) and deceived the Republican Congress who MASSIVELY voted FOR that law!
Russia and Iran are close military allies. Remember?
America should NOT help Iran by helping its close ally Russia. Period.
You agree I hope ??
Financing Russia’s military machine by lifting sanctions is like proactively investing in the killing of American troops in the gulf.
Do you support that?
I am supporting the values of America First.
I hope you are not supporting the values of America Last.
These last 3 weeks The US has been kissing China’s and Russias boots.
Before the election Trump rightfully repeatedly said that China was raping America ! Exactly he was right on that! That was the real Trump I knew.
But now Trump I’d giving China’s XI the Red carpet, Gala dinners, hugs and kisses… While saying that Communist leader of North Korea Kim Young UN is our FRIEND…
This commie boot-kissing must stop.
I want the real Trump back, the one who said the right things before the elections, and not this new Trump Version 2 which is shooting himself in the foot by appeasing America’s true traditional enemies.
Join me in supporting Trump Version 1.
Trump Version 2 is someone I don’t recognize.
The destroyed state schools will be replaced with madrasas.
Your country lost even the remotest stab of legitimacy decades ago.
And it makes NO difference whatsoever what or who you support, Trump, the war against Iran, Israel, or anyone.
This is rich, coming from the denizen of a country that gave refuge and sanctuary to the Ayatollah Khomeini back in the Seventies, and the supplied all manner of weaponry to Iraq. Didn't give a damn about "children" or "rapists" back then, did you, scumbag?
You should be spending your time paying attention to your OWN country.
If YOUR country thinks it is a strategic interest to combat Russia in Ukraine, why aren't you doing it?
Hm? Why is that?
One can only guess.
AMERICANS have zero strategic interest in a border war, no more than we would if Pakistan and India had a border war, or if Vietnam and China had a border war.
"...Do you find it normal that America helps the rapist and not the victim of the rapist?..."
We aren't YOUR police force. Screw you and your pathetic attempt at "logic" with your asinine "rapist" analogy. The only thing missing from you is "It's for the children" which is the last resort of all Leftists.
And screw you and your "are those your Christian values" crap. For people like you who can't and won't get off your fat ass to defend your own country since you think it so important, that shows what kind of fidelity you hold to any value whatsoever, including Christian values.
It makes zero difference what you approve or disapprove of, with your "Oh, that's the Trump I know" crap. Screw you and the French donkey you rode in on.
You better get off you lazy, pussified ass and defend your own country. Borrow money to make arms to send to Ukraine that your children and grandchildren will have to pay back. French arms might not be worth a crap, but at least you can stand up and say they are yours.
Borrow money to send those corrupt pieces of crap in Ukraine that your children and grandchildren will have to pay back.
Screw people like you who tell us what WE have to surrender OUR money and labor to.
I deeply resent a freeloader and parasite like you, coming onto this website without paying a dime to support it, but given your propensity for sponging off of others and telling them how THEY should spend their hard earned money while you spam this website with your putrid opinion day after day, this does not surprise me at all.
THAT is perfectly in character with you, given your posting history.
What a blistering, blood-sucking, a-hole you are.
He has to make a trip to a second hand store.
Some people are born left handed. Others.....
“I don’t understand cult behavior.”
What I mean is...What is it about their character and personality as individuals that made them vulnerable enough to be so taken in by the influence(s) of such brainwashing groups and organizations? Why are they are they such suckers for it and why are they so susceptible to giving themselves over to it?
https://neurolaunch.com/cult-behavior/
Exactly. That is what I do not understand.
Such an amendment would have to includee:
1) A constitutional prohibition on citizenship to anyone granted amnesty (including minors), and moving forward, similar prohibition on anyone whose entry into the U.S. was illegal when made, or subsequently became illegal because of overstaying a visa; Children born subsequently to anyone granted amnesty under this would not be disqualified automatically by this provision.
2) Overturning of Plyler v. Doe, and language stating that there is no constitutional right under either the Federal or any State constitution for benefits of any kind to anyone present in the country illegally. Only statutory benefits would be permitted - no shoehorning of other benefits by judges:
3) Constitutional cap on yearly legal immigration, including claims of asylum, that could be overridden only by 2/3 vote of each House of Congress, plus Presidential signature.
4) Each state would be granted standing if either the federal government or any other state violated any provision of this Amendment. That standing would include the right to challenge improper grants of citizenship, and have them reversed.
5) States with a coastline or that share a border with another nation would have the right to eject anyone attempting to cross that border, except at specifically designated and controlled federal crossing points that can constitute no more than 1% of the border of that state. But the Dems would never agree to that. And unless they did, I'm in favor of full deportation.
. But the Dems would never agree to that. And unless they did, I’m in favor of full deportation.
“Why do you spend your time posting on THIS American website. You are no conservative, and how WE in America spend our money is NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
It IS my business. Not only because I have family ties with America and France… my great-grandfather was American and had a successful business there somewhere around 1880. I have spent most of my life spending travelling back and forth between America and France – for professional and family reasons.
ALSO: America’s good or bad decisions VASTLY affects the planets economy.
Thus, EVEN if I wouldn’t be American or French, it evidently IS my business.
When oil-prices double in America or France it hurts my budget, no matter if I’m in America or France or anywhere else.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“You wanted to cut ties with the country that saved your ass in WWII, well, now that you are being suffocated by muslins and are so cuckolded you can’t even stand up for yourself, you want to tell US how to manage our affairs?”
USA-FRANCE responds:
What on EARTH are you talking about??
France has never uttered anything about “cutting ties” with America.
On the contrary, France ruined itself to save America’s war of Independence.
It was a MASSIVE French investment!
Without France America would not exist today. It would have remained a British Colony, one among many.
That’s why American and French people have helped each other for so long, even during WWI and WWII.
Yes, we are LONGSTANDING allies. Historically speaking France has done more for America than ANY other country in the world. I hope you’ll remember that.

“This is rich, coming from the citizen of a country that gave refuge and sanctuary to the Ayatollah Khomeini back in the Seventies, and the supplied all manner of weaponry to Iraq. Didn’t give a damn about “children” or “rapists” back then, did you, scumbag?”
USA-FRANCE responds:
No need to use insulting words. Get a hold of yourself.
I 100% agree with you, Ayatollah Khomeini stayed 4 months in France, it’s a thing that I have always condemned.
It was a weak centrist French government at that time, a party which I evidently opposed. I was for the Front National back then (RN today) a conservative party.
Don’t blame a whole nation for one political party’s mistake.
Likewise, let’s not blame America for its initial support of young Bin Laden or mass murderer Saddam Hussein. Good nations do mistakes.

“You should be spending your time paying attention to your OWN country. If YOUR country thinks it is a strategic interest to combat Russia in Ukraine, why aren’t you doing it?”
USA-FRANCE responds:
I pay attention to anything that affects the daily life of my family and myself.
Thus, America and France have a BIG impact on my daily life. It’s my business to care and wish the best for these two great nations.
And yes, France is heavily helping Ukraine right now. Why do you think Russia threatens France with nuclear war occasionally, hm? France is Russia’s most hated country. France just gave the licenses to Ukraine for manufacturing their own super advanced attack and anti-missiles systems. Kremlin heads exploded the other day when they got this info! And THAT’s a very good sign that France did something marvelous here!
France is right now working on a plan to extend its NUCLEAR UMBRELLA to EU nations regularly threatened by Russia: The Baltic States, Scandinavia, Poland, and more to come.

“AMERICANS have zero strategic interest in a border war, no more than we would if Pakistan and India had a border war, or if Vietnam and China had a border war.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
Well guess what, France has ZERO strategic interest in a border war as well! That’s why we are helping Ukraine.
RUSSIA teamed with their communist North Korean and Islamic Chechen friends and with MASSIVE subsidies from communist China to start a war against European Ukraine. Europe and France are helping. Even America is helping but not financially.
France or Europe did not ask for that war. Russia is the invader.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“We aren’t YOUR police force.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
Europe and Ukraine aren’t America’s police force either. Yet, when America invoked NATO’s Article 5 after the 911 terrorist attacks in America, Europe responded and joined America’s invasion of Afghanistan. Even UKRAINE joined and bled for America in Afghanistan and Iraq, even though Ukraine wasn’t even part of NATO - talk about a generous gesture from Ukraine!
In all Ukraine deployed about 7000 troops in Afghanistan / Iraq and got about 50 casualties. They didn’t have to do this for America. But they did. Why? Because of their Conservative Christian values. You don’t seem to know what those values are all about.
About a 1200 EU NATO troops including French troops died helping America in Afghanistan. The US lost 2400.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“And screw you and your “are those your Christian values” crap. For people like you who can’t and won’t get off your fat ass to defend your own country since you think it so important, that shows what kind of fidelity you hold to any value whatsoever, including Christian values.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
Sorry, but I don’t screw Christian values.
France has ALWAYS defended itself and defended America so it could become an independent nation. However, France has lost wars, just like America has, Afghanistan for example
France lost 220.000 French soldiers fighting Germany during WW2. And if you count French civilians killed the total number is 600.000.
So, show some respect. France did defend itself.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“Screw people like you who tell us what WE have to surrender OUR money and labor to.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
You’re unnecessary hysterical Karen-like tantrums are futile and do not represent American values you pretend to defend:
America isn’t giving anything to Ukraine.
America is SELLING weapons to the EU which in turn transfers those weapons to Ukraine. You don’t like it when America is exporting stuff?? Trump campaigned for that, it’s good for America’s economy. Maybe you oppose capitalism too.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“What a blistering, blood-sucking, a-hole you are.”
USA-FRANCE responds:
Your hysteria is very un-American and unprofessional. Thus, I wonder if you are not a Russian bot supported by the Kremlin State Media.
But I could be wrong... perfection does not exist.
All the best,
I’ve been married to a French man for over 40 years.
You’re wasting your time.
Bees don’t explain to flies, etc.
Sincerely, and honestly.
As the video shows, the terrorists who are attacking French institutions right now are the same ones who committed mass-vandalism and arson in American cities during the Summer of Love a few years ago. BLM was joined by the Anarchist movement, ANTIFA, Black Block, etc...
The video clearly shows ANTIFA signs and the “A” sign for Anarchy; and I even saw a Palestinian flag. Tucker Carlson supports Free Palestine so does he approve all of this?
The RN is France’s last hope.
“I’ve been married to a French man for over 40 years.

Wow, he survived 40 years with you? The French really are a remarkably brave people.” :) Sorry for my British humor.
