Did US stopped helping the tracking of kids Moscow kidnapped from Ukraine by deleting the databases? It would make it impossible to ever find their parents. It’s why we have backups, and consider consequences before deleting irreplaceable data.
Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

The time data shows intentional breaking of the court order, when planes in flight were ordered back by the judge for not following due process law and for a law designed for use during war times.
“A New York Times review of the flight data showed that none of the planes in question landed in El Salvador before the judge’s order and that one of them did not even leave American soil until after the judge’s written order was posted online.”

If we reverse the 1868 law of birthright for citizenship, we’d then have the 1790 naturalization law for citizenship. Everyone has to apply for citizenship; children under 21 were citizens, but lost it reaching 21, and had to apply themselves at 21 for it.

If Peter Hegseth is unqualified, uninformed, reckless, dangerous, and emotionally immature, why would The Republicans plan to confirm an unqualified person?
Pete Hegseth is unqualified, uninformed, reckless, dangerous and emotionally immature. So of course the Republicans have advanced his confirmation. They are putting at risk our national security.

We are in a democracy, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We’re not in a dictatorship, so the people can calmly discuss different views, looking at pros/cons to decide what’s best.
January 23, 2025 at 1:10 PM
What do leaders/judges do? They listen to both sides, analyzes both sides, look at the merits, and then decides, like the judge in the Bible deciding on the baby two mothers are fighting for. The pleader is going to the leader with conflicts of opinion. It’s wise to reconsider the process again.
What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when an Episcopalian bishop pleads with the President for mercy for Gay, Lesbian, transgender and immigrant groups who are now feeling endangered and fearful—and Trump calls her a hater.
