#2  There are plenty of statutes on the books to charge these NGO's and other people aiding and abetting these invaders. Time to go Roman on them.

#3  The traffickingNGOs and facilitating government official need to be the first targets of law enforcement. Find the lost kids. Jail the Americans that participated in distributing and exploiting them. Deport the criminal illegals. Cut off Federal funds that are supporting illegals. Mandate E-Verify processing for all hiring by all employers. Set up a schedule for employers to process their existing employees through E-Verify. After that, it’s just cleanup.

#2  By the letter of the law, Milley should be tried. It will be interesting to see how much energy, Trump spends on accountability or whether he just moves forward with his agenda. In my view, the country can’t be truly healthy until the thugs fear consequences for their actions. I would like to see an even focus on the past and future.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Elon Musk jokes about buying MSNBC with risque meme
[NYPOST] Space and electric car tycoon Elon Musk shared a bawdy meme on his X platform that joked about tapping into his deep pockets to purchase MSNBC following the bombshell news that Comcast planned to spin off the lefty cable network.

''And lead us not into temptation —,'' Musk, 53, wrote in the X post accompanied by a meme showing what appears to be a priest struggling to remain pure next to a woman exposing herself.

In the racy meme, the priest is overlayed with the text ''Elon Musk trying not to buy'' while an MSNBC logo was placed over the woman's bottom.

Almost exactly two years ago, Musk dusted off the same meme, with different text, to poke fun at President-elect Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
's temptations to return to Twitter (which has since been rebranded to X).

Over recent days, the billionaire and serial meme poster has bantered about purchasing the cable news platform and overhauling it.

MSNBC's parent company Comcast — the parent company of NBC — has been eyeing plans to spin off nearly all of its cable channels into a company dubbed SpinCo. Other channels in the group include CNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and the Golf Channel.

Critics of the cable news network have seized on the development to pose questions about MSNBC's future in light of the dramatic shift and internally workers at the channel have been gripped by anxiety.

''Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air,'' one MSNBC source previously told The Post.

MSNBC is home to liberal darlings such as Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid and Lawrence O'Donnell.

Amid the upheaval, soon-to-be first son Donald Trump Jr. joked that Musk should purchase MSNBC.

''Hey @elonmusk, I have the funniest idea ever!!!'' the Trump scion wrote on X in response to another post suggesting that MSNBC would be up for sale.

''The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,'' Musk replied on X.

Podcast titan Joe Rogan chimed in, writing ''If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow's job. I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies.''

Musk replied, ''Deal.''

Thus far, Musk only appears to be joking about purchasing the liberal news network. Musk has an estimated net worth of $348 billion and is the richest person in the world, according to Bloomberg.

It might not all be fun and games, though. The tech mogul also joked about purchasing Twitter (now X) for years before he actually pulled the trigger.

''How much is it?'' he asked in 2017 on the platform.

Ultimately, Musk purchased the platform in 2022 for $44 billion in a deal that wrapped up in October of that year.

Musk has grown increasingly political over recent years and has spent ample time in the wake of the Nov. 5 presidential election at Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump, 78, and the incoming president's allies.

Government Corruption
FEMA getting nasty in NC
[X]


…an arrogant Stephen Duncan (Chimney Rock Town Administrator, and also NC elections commissioner)-what a surprise...

Duncan also owns major stakes in commercial properties in the area, he claimed we could no longer cross the county line to run supplies or aid into Chimney Rock, he asked who gave us the authority to cut the WV Boys road to CR, I said "The Lord gave us the authority".

Since then, Duncan never liked me much, after I recorded him without his knowledge, I posted the video and shortly after I was asked to leave Bat Cave by the Henderson County Sherriff's office for false claims made against me. Now, in my absence, FEMA has advanced funds for a contract in the amount of $288,000 to provide multiple gates blocking the people's road, it will be manned by armed private security with night vision... They basically started their own militia to bully property owners around.

America, I ask again, where is the Red Line?

#1  I'm in Asheville NC right now building emergency housing. Nothing more than a A-frame cabin on blocks with a door and beds. 36 and snow last night. People are still in tents if they have cover.

Asheville NC is cleaned up and pretty operational.
Others, not so much.

#5  #1 ^
We got family off of US-64 between Franklin and Hayesville (Nant./ Wayah Rd general area).

While they did not get hit as hard as Asheville.
The area having heard of FEMA's Piss Poor, BS handling of Asheville. The local authorities and citizens told FEMA to find some place else to play asshole.

#9  I trust very few people in Congress and no the NC Governor to give us the straight scoop on FEMA’s performance. I would like to see accountability. Out of Trump’s people, Noem is not the one that I would want to fix this stuff. She’ll do the DEI fix, but that’s a symptom. There needs to be firings.
