Thank you to all. By now you probably know I love dogs. I follow back all patriots but not the fake Elons, lottery winners, fake MAGA, bots and hoes. IFBAP

As a travel nurse in California. An Iranian immigrant brought his 80+ year old dad to California who needed life saving coronary bypass surgery. I stood there as the surgeon asked how they will pay for the surgery. Put him on their private insurance or MediCal. Without hesitation. They replied. MediCal. This man was not a citizen. Had never paid a tax in our country EVER. Waltzes in and the California taxpayers footed the bill for his surgery. Was common knowledge in California.

1) Zen Master urged me not to engage on this, but I feel I must. 2) Realize that almost six months ago, both he and I, plus I later saw, Shipwreckedcrew, said that the birthright citizenship case would be a loss. 3) I've explained why I think the justices will so rule.

𝐒𝐀𝐔𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀’𝐒 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐘 𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐒’ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 Chief Justice Roberts tried to corner Solicitor General Sauer by calling his examples “𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘬𝘺” — children of ambassadors, children of enemies during hostile invasion, children on warships. Roberts’ point: those are narrow, specific exceptions. How do you expand them to cover an entire class of illegal aliens? Sauer didn’t flinch. He reached for a principle 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚 himself once articulated — the general rule principle. When lawmakers enact a broad legal standard, its application isn’t frozen to the specific situations they had in mind. Scalia’s example: an old theft statute written before anyone conceived of a microwave oven. Someone steals a microwave and argues he can’t be convicted because the device didn’t exist when the law was written. Scalia dismissed that. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.” The 14th Amendment was adopted when 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭 as a legal concept. But the principle of allegiance-based jurisdiction was already broad enough to cover it. Sauer noted that legal commentators from 𝟏𝟖𝟖𝟏 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟐 “𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥.” Then the a fortiori argument: if temporary visitors’ children don’t qualify, illegal entrants have an even weaker claim. Someone who enters in violation of law — a principle going back to the 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 — cannot establish the legal domicile required for allegiance. 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐤𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Justice Samuel Alito just dropped a direct warning during Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship. He pointed out a serious national security risk: unlimited birthright citizenship means a child born in the U.S. to parents from China, Iran, or Russia automatically becomes a U.S. citizen — while still owing military allegiance to a foreign adversary. Alito laid it out clearly: “Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward.” He gave concrete examples — a boy born here to an Iranian father who entered illegally is automatically an Iranian national with a duty of military service to Iran. The same applies to children of Russian or Chinese parents. Alito’s point was sharp: the framers of the 14th Amendment never intended for this loophole that creates dual allegiance and potential security risks. This exchange just made the stakes of ending birthright citizenship abuse crystal clear. Do you see Alito’s warning as a major red flag for national security? A. Yes — this is serious B. Important point, but overblown C. It’s a valid legal concern D. The system needs major reform

Senator Howard wrote the 14th Amendment on birthright citizenship in 1866. And here, he defines it. “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States.”

In the next decade, over 1M Chinese communists will be able to vote in American elections. You heard me. Thanks to birth tourism, Chinese billionaires are paying surrogates to birth their children on U.S. soil so the babies are American citizens. The children are taken back to China after birth, raised as communists, then when they’re 18, they’re allowed to vote in U.S. elections. THAT is why birthright citizenship must end. 1M votes swings any election. Soon the Chinese communists will “legally” control our elections. Unless we end birthright citizenship.

🚨STATEN ISLAND SECESSION EXPLOSION — SIX BALLSY NYC COUNCILMEN JUST FILED TO BREAK FREE FROM THE RADICAL COMMUNIST HELLHOLE OF NEW YORK CITY AND FORM THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TOWNSHIP! Follow @UnmaskTheSys After three nightmare months of socialist Mamdani pushing his Marxist garbage down everyone’s throats, they’ve had ENOUGH and are officially done being held hostage. “The people of Staten Island should be free to govern themselves,” declared Councilman Joseph Barron. “They don’t want communism rammed down their throats!” With a population larger than 90% of American cities and full infrastructure ready to split in WEEKS, Staten Island could be its own sovereign town by next month — leaving the failing woke disaster behind forever! This is what happens when real Americans finally say SCREW YOU to the radical left. The communists are PANICKING!

Don’t ever forget that Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney voted for Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation to SCOTUS (so did Susan Collins but that’s a different situation). Murkowski did this as Mitch McConnell— at the urging of and support from John Cornyn among others—blew tens of millions of GOP campaign dollars in Alaska supporting her re-election instead of getting an actual Republican Kelly Tshibaka.

Mr Starmer, The world is watching. And for once, I’m not here to play nice or balance both sides. This is the one shot I get to say what millions already know in their bones. You are not Britain’s Prime Minister. You are a man who won an election and immediately began dismantling the very things the British people voted for in 2016. You are squatting in Downing Street while steering the country back into the arms of the institution it explicitly rejected. If you will not stand down, the British people will make you. Here is every claim you made today, stripped bare, no spin, no mercy: 1. “The Middle East conflict has now entered its second month.” Thank you for the calendar update. While you counted months, the IRGC a group formally designated as terrorists by the United States, Canada, and others, continued running its London operations from 16 Prince’s Gate, Knightsbridge. You did nothing. 2. “The UK is working at pace for de-escalation and peace.” Translation: we issued strongly worded statements. Results: zero. Your “pace” is the speed of a snail on tranquillisers. 3. “The war will affect the future of our country, energy and cost of living.” It already is. Your green ideology and EU realignment have left Britain with some of the highest energy prices in the developed world. Pensioners choose between heating and eating. That’s not “the war.” That’s policy. 4. “We are well-placed with a long-term plan to emerge stronger and more secure.” Record taxes. 7.5 million people on NHS waiting lists. Record small-boat crossings. Energy bills that could bankrupt households. If this is your definition of “stronger and more secure,” the English language just filed for divorce. 5. “I held meetings with business leaders…” Photo opportunities. They warned you. You smiled for the cameras and carried on regardless. 6. “Energy bills will be cut today and fixed until July.” A £117 cap that your own NI increases and green levies have already vaporised. It’s not relief. It’s an insult dressed up as compassion. 7. “The most effective way to support the cost of living is to push for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Then why did you help shut down North Sea production and make us dependent on foreign energy? The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast. 8. “The UK is taking back control of our energy security by investing in clean British energy.” Britain now pays the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Blackouts are on the menu. This is not “taking back control.” This is self-sabotage with better PR. 9. “Because the world is volatile, Britain’s long-term national interest now requires closer partnership with the EU.” Let’s be honest for once: you are using a foreign crisis as cover to hand sovereignty, money, and decision-making back to Brussels without asking the British people. That is not statesmanship. That is betrayal by stealth. 10. “I will announce a new summit with the EU later this year…” Re-joining by the back door while an Iranian terror-linked operation sits in one of London’s most expensive postcodes. The sheer gall is almost impressive. You stood at the podium today and spoke of “British interests” while actively working against them. You swore you wouldn’t rejoin the EU. You are doing it anyway. You talk of security while leaving a designated terror network untouched in central London. You lecture about the cost of living while your policies make it worse. The mask is not slipping, Keir. It has fallen off and shattered on the floor. The British people see you clearly now: a politician who values international approval and Brussels goodwill more than the nation that elected him. You are not leading Britain. You are managing its managed decline. The clock is ticking. Not in secret. Not in silence. Out loud, in broad daylight, across every pub, every kitchen table, every X feed and every street in this country. History does not forgive those who sell their own people’s sovereignty for applause. Britain did not vote for this. Britain does not want this. And Britain will not tolerate this forever. The reckoning is coming. And it will not be kind. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

The existence of Delia Ramirez in Congress is why Birthright Citizenship must be ended. Delia Ramirez was born on American soil after her mother illegally crossed the U.S. border. She’s also married to a DACA recipient. Now she wants to end ICE and immigration enforcement.

Bad, bad idea. Giving the Democrats what they want — a precedent to defund ICE — while pinky promising to pass the Republican parts later is not the way to go. And it endorses Thune’s 3 AM action.

If the U.S. residential real estate brokerage industry were a portfolio company, here's what the board deck would say Total addressable market: $170B in annual commissions. 0.6% of GDP 1.5M agents. Median income $58,100 gross. $36,600 after expenses Median deals per agent: about 6 per year Barrier to entry: high school diploma and a weekend course Median age of workforce: 57 This is a $170B industry with the entry requirements of a part-time job at Best Buy The revenue model: charge 5.5% of someone's largest financial transaction of their life for approximately 30-40 hours of work per deal On a $500K home, that's roughly $13,750 per agent. Call it $375/hour On a $1M home, it's $750/hour On a $1.5M home, the buyer's agent who drove you to four showings and said "I love the natural light" earns roughly $41,000 My analyst works 70-hour weeks building DCFs and earns $100K a year. That's $27/hour The real estate agent who told my wife "this floor plan really flows" earned more per transaction than my analyst makes in four months I asked my analyst to model the unit economics. He came back an hour later, visibly upset In 2023, a federal jury found that the National Association of Realtors conspired to fix commission rates. An economics professor testified it was "one of the clearest cases of price-fixing" he'd ever seen NAR paid $418M to settle. New rules took effect in August 2024 Result: commission rates increased in 39 out of 50 states the following year Let me say that again A jury found price-fixing. A settlement was paid. Rules were changed. And prices went up Every other developed country pays less. UK: 1-2%. Australia: 2-3%. Canada: 3-5% The U.S. pays 5-6% for the same service The moat isn't technology. It's not scale. It's not IP It's a licensing requirement that takes two weeks to earn, an MLS system the industry controls, and the fact that most people buy a home 2-3 times in their life and never stop to ask why they're paying $25,000 for someone to schedule a home inspection The industry was built on information asymmetry. Before Zillow, you needed an agent to know what was for sale. Now every listing is on your phone before your agent's had their morning coffee The information advantage is gone. The pricing hasn't changed If I presented this business model to our investment committee, a member would ask one question: "What exactly are we paying for?" And the answer would be: "Project management with a golf cart and a lockbox" Make common sense common again Plz fix. Thx. Sent from my iPhone

What an unpleasant experience flying @Delta every single one of your crew members was extremely rude and disrespectful, especially this little meatball that screamed at the couple behind me over their 5lb puppy being in the middle of both of them. “This is the last time I’ll tell you!!! Put the dog on top of you”— we all looked up and behind us wondering why he was so upset. Not to mention the other crew members that didn’t even want to be bothered when you asked for water or coffee. I’ll stick to American Airlines next time.

The reason this is happening is because the Democrats won, the Republican Senate won’t fight back, and the House has no more leverage. Simple as.

President Trump and Republicans funded NASA through the OBBB, which is what has made this possible. You voted against it.
