Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.

People continue to listen to the same biased outlets of Trump & Musk haters and never seem to hear the good. I’m really getting fed up. These same people showed absolute zero concern for the harm open borders caused so many- NO compassion or outrage. No demands of transparency for all the decades of fraud that we were totally unaware of.
Well, many of us know that there never were "open borders." That was just a political talking point that showed the person using it did not know about the situation.
Doesn’t matter what we here knew. Your news stations probably didn’t show the long lines of immigrants headed to our border as soon as they heard Biden was elected. THEY interpreted that as open borders leading to millions entering in illegally.

The US government estimates 11 million. This includes people who have come into the country for decades. Most of the undocumented people came in legally on various kinds of visas and programs and overstayed the legal limit. If that is what you mean by an open border, then yes, it was an open border. Most people had the correct required documents to enter the US and would not have been admitted without them, so not open in that sense.

Pew Research Center estimated between 33% and 48% of the total unauthorized migrant population entered legally. These figures might be outdated. Do you have any reliable statistics showing that in fact most unauthorized residents actually did enter legally?

Wrt P.110, Tesla attacks and vandalism, i’m sickened by videos of attacks on random private cars, including with owners driving on roads+highways shot at, in addition to dealership attacks.

What a “stroke of genius” to put cameras on the cars. i wouldn’t have thought of it or wanted any such thing.

Many of the CRIMINALS recorded are shocking. KEYING seems to be the most common choice.
Not superficial paint scratches! These grown adults, even of retirement age, are filmed SNEAKING along, ducking down, putting their full strength into digging keys, screwdrivers, etc., past the paint, digging into the metal.

What is driving this madness? Seriously, what is it?! Who is it?
It sickens me to think what everyday people anyone might see, do business with, chat with, are capable of doing.

Without cameras, i’m not sure i would believe it.

These are not misguided young men dressed up in army gear out to do harm.
They are driving nice cars, living in nice neighborhoods, not hungry! Wearing everyday street clothes.

It’s all on camera. They are sneaky, when caught, deny-deny-deny. Shameful.

Pull the curtain back. :cry: They look so foolish on camera.

Jesus Christ is badly needed!

This number is skewed because they claimed those who used the CP1 app claiming refugee status were legally allowed in. Yet, almost all of them never made it to court for a determination. They were just lost in the system, so to say.

My wife just informed me that Elon Musk liked one of her comments on X and is now following her. I didn't even know she had an account.

Wife: My three year old had a late nap and woke up upset not wanting to touch her supper, and I finally had a breakthrough after trying the airplane/helicopter shtick by feeding her ‘funny cars’ (what she calls cybertrucks) and singing in a Kermit the frog voice, “Beep, beep, beep beep. I’m a funny car. Zoom!” She even wanted seconds after that.

She has started talking now and has lately told people out in town that she likes funny cars and her older brother and sisters think they’re ugly. All politics aside, I guess I should thank Elon for giving my daughter motivation to finish her food. She’s always been difficult to get to eat.
