You know what’s special about Winsome’s father, your grandparents, my grandparents? They came to this Country with pennies in their pockets and made something of themselves without receiving a hand-out. They worked, they studied and made sure they were not a burden to society. They have much to be proud of.

You watch: she WILL stab conservative Virginians in the back. Why should she do anything for Whypepo? The media will APPLAUD her if she stabs us in the back.

You nailed it. My grandparents arrived quite poor. Oma worked cleaning tenements in Brooklyn. Within seven years, my Opa had built his own house in Westchester County and they moved up to Thornwood. I’ve got all the original paperwork from his purchasing the land, designing the house and building it. He was a brilliant mechanical designer and designed elevators for a living.

All without a single hand-out. The pride of immigrants then was so well earned.

Coming from Germany just nine years after the 1918 Armistice to WW I, they were not particularly welcomed in Brooklyn. They made sure my dad and his brother and sister spoke English and because Americans.

It’s such a common story from that era, isn’t it? Too bad we’ve lost so much of that and have people storming the southern border just thinking they can waltz right in — and the uniparty making it all happen.
