Anti-freedom folk like to argue that we're being "swamped" & "overrun" by immigrants.
This exert from my book - "FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders" - shows that people are less likely to migrate today than 125 years ago.

@PressSec What does it matter? He’s the president of the United States not just the president of MAGA GOP.
English
CNN:
“MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove… he’s the 1972 Miami Dolphins.”

@Psalm1839_ @WhitStap @dissidentwest He said he’s satisfied. He didn’t say he looks in the mirror and doesn’t see anything he doesn’t like. But he’s fine with not liking some things.
English
@WhitStap @dissidentwest You went and made your own argument. I never said he needs surgery, I said he's bullshitting that he looks in the mirror and doesn't see anything he doesn't like as a 3 out of 10. You're focused on his actual looks, I'm focused on him being a disingenuous liar.
English
The more clips I see of Clav the more I'm convinced he doesn't possess theory of mind.
He literally cant fathom anyone else not seeing the world through the same insecure, aesthetic obsessed lens as him.

Clavicular ends and walks out of his Channel 5 interview with Andrew Callaghan after Andrew reveals he’s satisfied with how he looks and doesn’t need looksmaxxing
English
@Psalm1839_ @KingliestOfJews @dissidentwest Being satisfied does not mean you aren’t realistic. It just means your perfectly fine wi tu imperfection.
English
Oh look another person who focused on the looks when that isn't even the point I'm making. Yea he's below average, I don't give a fuck about that. The point was that he says he's 100% satisfied with what he sees in the mirror while saying "more or less" in the same breath, in other words he's bullshitting in order to front. Like everything else Andrew does he's a grifter.

@michaelaleach @AdamJSchwarz It’s not bad if you are specifically asked about it and you respond truthfully. In this case, it was unnecessary and inflammatory. A dick head comment
English
@AdamJSchwarz So, you have a problem with historical facts? How is this a gaff? It's true. Pointing out history is now bad? Everyone will be fine. Only liberals are foaming up their own shame.

Reporter: Why didn't you notify Japan that you were going to attack Iran?
Trump next to the Japanese PM:
"Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour? You believe in surprise I think much more so than us."

Mark DeRosa’s brain was on another planet throughout the entire 2026 WBC.
There’s no “had we taken the lead.” Team USA was the home team. If you “had taken the lead” in the 9th inning, the game would be over.
There’s no situation where Miller could have pitched with the lead.
Bob Nightengale@BNightengale
Mark DeRosa on not using Padres closer Mason Miller in the 9th: ‘‘Honoring the Padres. Had we taken the lead, he was coming in, but I wasn't going to bring him in to a tie game.’

@MartinSalgado48 @mike94474486 @TimKellySports Na. Skubal ain’t pitching for than 2 innings during the all star break when his teams in the pennant race.
English
@tpru22 @mike94474486 @TimKellySports They’re at 💯. The main reason for restrictions is because they’re coming from the offseason and aren’t still in full baseball shape.
English
The great part about the WBC is that it’s on at a time when there isn’t good baseball being played. It is perfect as is. I don’t get the obsession with moving it to the All-Star Break.
Bob Nightengale@BNightengale
Mark DeRosa believes every player would volunteer to play in the WBC if it’s moved to the All Star break. ‘They would be more prepared and more dialed in, and we'd be dealing with way less restrictions and way less guidelines on the pitching if it was moved to midseason. No question about it.’
English
@MartinSalgado48 @mike94474486 @TimKellySports Why would it be less during the all star break. It would be more.
English
@mike94474486 @TimKellySports Thus want to do it but either are denied or have too many restrictions. That would supposedly be less if during the season.

We are in a period of historic global realignment.
In 20 to 30 years it's quite possible that the global order will look like this:
1. The USA's closest allies will be Eastern Europe, Latin and South America, Japan, Israel, Iran, India and the Gulf Arab States.
2. Rapprochement between the USA, Russia and China will have been achieved. Not allies per se, but not a threat to each other.
3. The countries that will be the USA's biggest adversaries will be the Islamized Western European nations. NATO will have dissolved. Also we will be in a non-hot war of ideas with Australia and New Zealand.
4. Canada will still be Canada. And Africa will still be Africa.
5. Pakistan and Afghanistan will still be a mess.
6. I'm unsure about South Korea.
7. Greenland will be the most popular American casino tourist destination, second only to Las Vegas. ("What happens in Greenland stays in Greenland.")
8. Cuba libres will be great again.
9. The American flag will be flying on Mars in Elontown.

@DarinBass4 @MattMcCarthy985 Venezuela had a lot of MLB players who got cleared to play.
English
@MattMcCarthy985 First, not the best lineup and 100% not the best pitching staff. Not close. 2nd, its March. MLB players typicall do not get timing down until late June or July at the plate. Move tourney to all star break watch what happens.
English
Hopefully this is a wake-up call for USA Baseball. That was the best lineup they could’ve possibly fielded and they failed. We lost at our own sport. Venezuela was outstanding.
You can’t have a rent-a-manager and Aaron Judge as your captain if you truly want to win.
English
@kbo_coyote @MattMcCarthy985 They should try to get retired managers that managed in the World Series. Im sure someone would love to do it.
English
All you have is rent-a-manager. All the full time employed ones are with their teams getting ready for the real season.
There is no waking up to be done.
Part of the issue is a significant percentage of the latin players play all winter long in their home country leagues. And it showed. Their hitters were on time. The US players don't play and a handful of spring training abs don't get them up to speed.
English
@KilbyIsKing @JustinMLB Im a Guards fan. Dislike both Red Sox and Yankees. Anthony was impressive during the WBC. Big hits in big moments. Not at the end. But Judge was nowhere in the knock out games. He’s the MVP and was nowhere. Besides for the assist from right which was impressive and clutch.
English
@JustinMLB *Roman Anthony striking out on a straight fastball to end the game with Whitlock costing the country the lead. Oof! Hate to wear that and try to blame others!
English
@MikeDro_ Judge is a 3 time MVP who did jack squat in the games that mattered. Anthony is a 21yo who had big hits in the knock out games. Not the same

Full credit to the Venezuelan fans for not booing during the United States anthem. Would’ve been easy given the circumstances
