Do I follow back? Yes, I do if we are like-minded. However X makes this difficult as it only allows us to FB a few at a time. I work on it daily, but it's a slow process. If I owe you a FB, comment on one of my posts that I do. That helps me find you easier. Thank you! 🤗🇺🇸 Also, I put my original posts under my highlights.

@BredsguardDalen @TheUSACastle Me too!

@RYboating @TheUSACastle Love to see it

Even CNN knows the Save America Act doesn't make it difficult for US citizens to vote. 😉 The left's narrative is collapsing.

@CPuncerelli @thewriterme True!

@RYboating @thewriterme Only the communist news network would give this seditious traitor a platform to spew bs!

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is lying again! Iran wouldn't let anyone in to inspect their nuclear program! That's why Trump blew up the deal. Iran quit the deal by not complying. 😉

@TheFloridaMike They sure are.

@RYboating Teachers Unions are evil.

How A Minnesota Teachers Union Funnels Support To ‘Front Group’ Fighting To Abolish ICE And Prisons I can't help but think that this must also be the case with teachers unions across the country. This would explain why schools sent their students out to the streets to protest ICE all across the USA. 😉 Most of us pay a lot of taxes to support local school districts. Just one more example of our taxes being used to fund our enemies. 😡 Excerpts from the article: Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators in Minnesota operate as a “front group” for a state teachers union in the leftist campaign against immigration law, according to activist documents and federal records brought to light by Defending Education. Minneapolis Families for Public Schools (MFPS), reportedly an “initiative” of TakeAction Minnesota (TAM), helps organize “Rapid Response Networks & ICE Watch” centered around neighborhoods and schools, the documents show, while TAM has partnered with other radical-left groups in events that involve student walk-outs and backed other leftist activism at schools. “The teachers unions continue to prove they are rotten apples that only care about far-left street activism, to the detriment of educating children,” Rhyen Staley, research director at Defending Education, told The Federalist. “Teachers and community groups should be dedicating time to improving learning outcomes for students, not creating strategies and lists of people to attempt to thwart law enforcement.” Education Minnesota, the state teachers union, has financially supported TAM, and an archived version of TAM’s website shows MFPS stating that it is “standing with” the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE), the local union, during its next contract negotiation, because “the MFE contract is a place to win strong language and enforcement on our priorities.” Staley said that TAM is “basically a front group that can get away with doing some things the unions can’t.” Since The Federalist reached out to TAM for comment about MFPS, the organization’s website has changed, and some information now appears to be behind a membership wall. TAM was a collaborator in a coalition called “Melt the ICE,” along with groups like Unidos MN/Monarca, Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America, Sunrise Twin Cities, Jewish Voice for Peace Twin Cities, and many others. Those groups organized a “week of action” from Feb. 25 to March 1 for “neighbors and anti-ICE organizers in Minnesota … to participate in ICE-watch rapid response networks and huge public protests.” “We will teach and demonstrate resistance tactics that can be replicated elsewhere, leaving no community undefended. We hope to force an end to ICE’s unprecedented siege of Minnesota — and further the movement to abolish ICE altogether while we do it,” the Melt the ICE website stated. TAM offered “trainings and panels” to participants, and the coalition said it was “fighting for” goals such as getting “ICE out of Minnesota now”; the “release all our abducted neighbors” and closing of “all detention camps”; a “statewide eviction moratorium”; “drop[ping] all charges against ICE resisters”; “amnesty for all immigrants”; and the complete elimination of “ICE, DHS, the police, and prisons.” A training event hosted by TAM earlier this year aimed to teach people how to take control of local “precinct caucuses” (which the organization defined as a “gatekeeping phrase that means ‘neighborhood meeting’”) in order to choose far-left politicians to run for office. Participants would “learn what precinct caucus is, why it matters, and how we can show up to make sure that only #FamiliesOverBillionaires and #ICEout candidates get what they need to run competitive races,” the website stated, adding,  “elections f**king matter” and “we deserve politicians who actually act to get ICE out of our schools, and who deliver the housing for all, food support, universal pre-K, and universal health care — and more! — that our families and communities deserve.” (Descriptions of forthcoming training events use similar wording.) The documents exposed by Defending Education told anti-ICE groups how to use “rapid response networks & ICE Watch,” in part by deploying “fast communications networks for verifying and dispatching Rapid Responders to threats of abduction and snatch squads that are deployed in our cities and neighborhoods.” The strategy also involves “keeping an eye out in your neighborhood with Foot, Bike, and Car Patrols and people monitoring and watching on corners, key intersections, and important community spaces.” The tactics are strikingly similar to the street-corner sentry system used by Minneapolis agitators, one of whom explained to The Federalist their involvement with schools. While it was initially difficult to verify the agitator’s claims, these documents suggest the claims are true. Notably the documents indicate MFPS orchestrates “Local Text alert groups for rapid response and information sharing.” MFPS also seemingly designed a form to “report ICE at your school,” according to Defending Education. The purported purpose of the form is to “aggregate data from this form for future MFPS organizing or for legal strategies to get ICE out of schools.” Federal financial records show that TAM (and potentially MFPS by extension) has received money from Education Minnesota, the state-level teachers union, which is “an affiliate of both the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA),” according to Defending Education. Education Minnesota has given TAM a seemingly small amount of $132,500 since 2015. More than a third — $50,000 — came in August 2025. TAM has also brought in funds from groups that get millions from AFT and NEA. In cases where ideology — like critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) — is the driving force, however, action may be a far more potent tool for proliferation than actual funding. Money transfers show concrete affirmation, but enthusiastic participation from teachers and others who actually have interactions with students can provide a bigger boost to the anti-ICE agitation movement.

@JexiumIslandJem That's right.

@RYboating Democrats love to destroy anything normal. They don't care if they destroy shit as long as they have the power and money, country be damned!

@GoldenAgeTimes2 For sure!

@RYboating He never recovered from this moment, & Vance will roast him even harder. 🤣

🚨 LMAO: Rand Paul weighing a 2028 run for President. If he runs, nobody will vote for him, but we will get entertaining debate clips of JD Vance eviscersting him like President Trump did here in 2016. 🤣

@JOHAWK580356 I don't think so.

Is this dubbed? I mean CNN does not say true stuff that is politically damaging for Democrats.🫢 Ever.

@WilliamRob98395 @jjauthor @Ilhan Yes!

@jjauthor @RYboating @Ilhan Deport every single one of them!!!!

Deport @Ilhan Deport her lover brother husband Deport her family. Deport her friends. Deport every lying Cheatin pirate! Love & respect America or leave.

@Terrij7Terri @lah3309 He is!

@RYboating @lah3309 This man is so disingenuous. That’s a polite way of calling him a liar.

@WeiYah52 I agree!

@RYboating Seattle mayor is guilty of treason in my opinion

Even though the Seattle Mayor is fighting against ICE, they are still getting criminals in the Emerald City. Thank you Seattle ICE!

@stefkule Yes!

@Sandy1Texas That's right!

@RYboating Of course Dems have a problem with the bill, keeps them from cheating, keeps illegals from voting!

@TheBaseIsBack @1109PatriciaO I know, it's crazy!

@RYboating @1109PatriciaO This guy makes Beto look good. He’s wearing a mask. In Texas. For zero reason. In addition to the whole meat thing. In Texas.

How did Talarico even become a nominee in TX?🤔 My Mom was born and raised there. Most of my relatives still live there. This just seems surreal to me.

@DrexelGlen19289 Yes that's for sure!

@RYboating You know if CNN turns against the Democrats they are in deep doo doo

I am shocked that CNN would report this

@NowPammsy It sure is!

@RYboating Anyone with half a brain knows Dems don’t want it because they want illegals to vote! Their reasoning to not vote for it is the dumbest ever!🙄

That has to be maddening for the male dress wearers on the ground!🤣

@SecDuffy Here's the link thefederalist.com/2026/03/19/exc…

Exclusive: Four States Accused Of Continuing Race-Based DOT Policies Trump Eliminated @SecDuffy are you aware of this?🤔 Companies should not be cut out of projects/contracts simply because they are, or aren't a certain color. 😉 That is discrimination! We need all this D.E.I. BS stopped! From the article: When the Trump administration slapped a permanent injunction on the oldest and largest affirmative action program in the federal government, it was supposed to be the end of race- and sex-based discrimination at the Department of Transportation. But at least four states have been engaging in an illegal end-around of the order issued last fall by the DOT and the Department of Justice, according to a new complaint exclusively provided to The Federalist. The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) this week filed the formal complaint against state transportation departments in New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Indiana. In the five-page letter to Trump administration Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, WILL alleges that the states violated the section of the 1964 the Civil Rights Act that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in any program that receives federal funding. WILL alleges the states continue to employ state-based Minority Business Enterprise programs to achieve “racial goals.” In other words, white male business owners need not apply. In October, Duffy’s DOT published an Interim Final Rule (IFR) excising all race- and sex-based presumptions from federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise programs. “States seem to believe that because certain projects are entirely state funded, the IFR does not apply… But states cannot circumvent federal law simply by using state tax dollars.“ Daniel Lennington, vice president and deputy council for the Milwaukee-based public-interest law firm, argues in the complaint. Named on the complaint are New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, the sole Republican in the group. The document includes the states’ requests for bids in recent months, filed with alleged discriminatory demands. New York state’s DOT “assures the public that it complies with” the Civil Rights Act’s prohibitions on discriminatory practices, the complaint states. But a notice of letting for April 16 advertises three separate projects with a Minority Business Enterprise goal, the complaint, alleges. The document includes the ads in the exhibits. Massachusetts DOT on March 4 issued a notice to prospective bidders posting a quota of eight percent minority and women businesses for a pavement project, according to the complaint. Maryland’s transportation department “imposes race-based goals on its state-funded highway projects.” Officials set a minimum minority business goal of five percent for substantial projects involving “several significant highways, tunnels, and bridges, including the Francis Scott Key Bridge (FSK), the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, and the JFK Memorial Highway.” “The bidder shall seek commitments from minority business enterprises by subcontracting and/or procurement of materials and/or services, the combined value of which equals or exceeds the established Contract goal of 14 percent of the total value of the prime Contract,” the bid invitation states. And Indiana imposes race-based quotas on its highway projects — even those involving federal highway repairs, the complaint alleges. A state department of transportation advertisement last month seeking bids for pavement patching a segment of Interstate 69 in Huntington County, “contains explicit race- and sex-based goals.” The project demands minority businesses make up seven percent of the contract bid price, with women-owed businesses taking three percent of the pie, according to the complaint. The four states receive billons of dollars each year in federal funding. WILL is representing Contractors for Equal Opportunity (CEO), a nationwide voluntary membership association of companies that have been “negatively impacted by discrimination in local, state, and federal contracting programs,” the organization states on its website. “Whether governments use the phrase ‘Affirmative Action,’ ‘Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,’ or just ‘Supplier Diversity,’ these programs all illegally discriminate based on race and/or gender,” CEO’s website states. “CEO members have experienced discrimination, higher costs, and/or lost business because of these programs. CEO members can be either prime contractors or subcontractors.” “The Trump Administration took an important step to end race discrimination in federally funded highway projects. Now some states are flouting that rule by paying for some roadbuilding projects without any federal money,” the attorney said in a statement to The Federalist. “But federal law prohibits this shell game, and the Trump Administration should enforce the law against these states.” Link to article in 1stt comment

Guilty Dogs are hilarious 😂😂😂

LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN Do tough but fair punishments actually change behavior? The teen thought it was just “a little trouble.” The judge pulled out a list and started going line by line like a checklist…every law, every mistake. Calm, precise, no emotion. Then came the sentence…tough, fair, and final. The family was silent no more as they yelled out. Lesson delivered. Was the judge right???

Feeling it right.
