Without immigrants' contributions to our economy our country would be screwed. A new white paper from the CATO Institute shows exactly how. Without them public debt level would be more than 200% of GDP. They are basically subsidizing the rest of us. Link in comments.

Just a thought to consider. The "Christians" are supporting the pedophilia supporter. And btw, Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen.

The full moon arrives tomorrow, but tonight’s almost-full moon, rising slowly and so luminous through the pine branches, is already putting on a quiet, spectacular show.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Winter is bread-baking time. Each week I try a new soup and pair it with fresh bread. This week it was split pea soup alongside a lovely little loaf of buttermilk, buckwheat, and raisin bread. When the world outside is freezing and chaotic, this quiet ritual is the best kind of comfort.

Good question. I know what side I'm on.
Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

And this, right here, is the stark, bitter, sad truth.

Are we going to continue to turn our backs as even children are racially profiled and then disappeared into a system rife with corruption, neglect, lack of oversight, and filled with deprivation and danger?

Wow, has it been bitterly cold here today. It’s –12° right now, the kind of cold that hits you the second you step outside and makes the air feel sharp and unforgiving. Definitely a day for thick socks, hot drinks, and staying in as much as possible. Be safe everybody! 🥶

So bitterly cold
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Appalling.
“Children’s food contaminated with worms and mold, limited clean drinking water, inadequate medical care among allegations raised by migrant families in court filings about conditions their CHILDREN faced in federal custody.”

Jennings' smug and arrogant a$$holery is beyond belief.
Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here
McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

Love this idea.
We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Love this idea.
OMG!!! This is so funny!
