On an average day, a force about 9 times the size of Santa Anna’s army that attacked the Alamo crosses over into Texas. In the last year alone a force that roughly doubles the size of the Russian, Saudi, and Mexican Armies combined has crossed the border.
The vast majority are military aged men.

So yeah, that fits the definition of an “invasion”.

I’m fine with that interpretation; sadly, I’m not on the Supreme Court.

Same problem here! It appears some items in my background investigation, my general smartassery, along with a lack of membership in the Federalist Society is blocking my appointment.

Sucks...

All i can say is, the attempt to keep DJT off the ballot better be overturned or there will be violence

I do not want violence, but i see tyranny. I think the commie Sorosetarys of State will be the issue. We don’t nreed that. We have enough going on as it is. Hopefully barrett and roberts in S COTUS will see the problem, and act with the Constitution in mind

From Ron DeSantis. I have only one problem and question with what is being done and what he is saying. Why the hell has it taken so long?

“It’s also why Donald John Trump is a God send because he has the money to not be owned, and why we must support him.”

Yep. Strong is the freedom and liberty of FU money in the USA today.

Traitor Roberts is a dyed in the wool Never Trumper [at any cost].

In darkness he will always haunt with no chance of seeing the light [even though with Trump it may be partly cloudy].
