We brought in a gazillion foreigners who will vote for whoever gives foreigners free shit, registered them to vote, and you’ll never guess what happened next

These people are Soviets and they want all of us dead. They can never be allowed to control government ever again.

They’re calling this the most third world post of all time
This week, our Hindu neighbors celebrate the Goddess Durga during the festival of Navaratri.
Our neighbors will dance Garba, venerate the Goddess Durga with Sindur Khela, receive Tika from elders, set up Golu in their homes, and so much more.
Whether your family calls it Durga Puja, Dashain, Dussehra, or Navratri, may this festival mark a season of reflection and renewal.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack.
The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.

The response to Black Hawk Down was to mass import the Somalias who celebrated the death of the Rangers and Delta operators. Catholic Charities. Lutheran Social Services. Hebrew International Aid Society. Enemies of the West and all civilizations.
33 years ago this weekend, two Delta Force snipers made a choice almost nobody would make.
Master Sergeant Gary Gordon was 33, from Lincoln, Maine, with a wife and two young kids at home. Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart was 35, a farm kid from Newville, Pennsylvania.
On October 3, 1993, they were in a Black Hawk circling over Mogadishu when another Black Hawk, Super 64, was shot down. Pilot Mike Durant was alive in the wreckage with a broken back and a crushed leg. His crew was hurt. There were no friendly ground forces anywhere near them, and hundreds of armed militia and locals were already converging on the crash site.
From the air, Gordon and Shughart could see exactly what was coming.
They asked to be dropped in. Command said no.
They asked again. No again.
They asked a third time and finally got the green light.
Their helicopter set them down nearby and they fought their way to the wreck on foot. Two men, carrying only what they had on them. They pulled Durant out of the cockpit, set him up in a safer position, and started holding off the crowd.
For a while, it worked. They kept the mob back with precise, steady fire while the numbers against them kept growing.
Shughart was killed first.
Gordon kept fighting alone. When he was nearly out of ammunition, he went back to Durant, handed him a rifle, and told him good luck. Then he went back out. He was killed minutes later.
Durant was captured, beaten, and held for 11 days. He came home alive. He has said for decades that he's only here because of those two men.
In 1994 Gordon and Shughart were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the first since Vietnam. The Navy later named two ships after them, the USNS Gordon and the USNS Shughart.
They didn't stumble into that fight. They watched it from above, understood the odds, and asked three times to go anyway.
Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart. Remember their names.

It’s always a message of fear. My entire life. Nuclear winter, killer bees, acid rain, global warming, rebranded climate change, Covid, now AI. Reject the demonic spirit of fear.

Foreigners used to have the decency to come here and quietly and graciously live under the shade of freedom that we provided them.
Now they hop off the plane, demand our money, demand that we fight their wars for them, and then lecture us on what our ancestors who built this country akshully wanted.
I am not going to be lectured on America by ungrateful foreigners who haven’t even been here as long as most of my baseball hats.
The gay little psyop of pretending the only problem is illegal immigration is over. It’s all a problem, and enough is enough. No more foreign enclaves, no more demonic statues, no more pagan temples, no more signs with fifty different languages that all look like chicken scratch, no more judges with Star Wars names writing non-sensical laws from the bench, no more ER waiting rooms that look like a third-world bazaar, no more America fighting stupid wars on behalf of your stupid foreign clans, no more remittances, no more welfare for you and your million anchor babies or chain-migrated sister wives and brother husbands.
Enough. We’ve had enough.
The Republican Party and Republican voters across the country must reject the woke right racists like this bigot. When we talk about issues of immigration, the FOCUS is on 1. Illegal immigration, 2. Ideology. You don’t belong in America if you’re here illegally. You also should not be here if you hate our country and our values.
You’re a disgusting Nazi sympathizer if you’re attacking a bunch of brown kids embracing American culture and you have no place in public office.

I have spent 23 years documenting the global LED transition of city lighting from space.
Across my 4 missions to the ISS, I have photographed every major city on Earth, building a data set of the gradual replacement of sodium vapor lighting with LEDs.
The warmer, yellow-orange of gas discharge lamps has been phased out worldwide to multi-colored LEDs, citing energy savings and environmental reasons.
Widespread adoption has markedly changed the way our cities look from orbit, and as many have pointed out, how they feel to those on the ground!
Here is a collection of the most striking before-and-after photos I have observed:

It's just an endless swindle of your tax dollars, paying millions to leftists, who keep playing these shell games to keep the grift going.
