I’ve known many Americans of German or part German ancestry. Almost all of them terrific people. Unfortunately, the stigmas from WW1 and, especially WW2, has, I think, made them kind of low key about their ethnicity, unlike, say Italian or Irish Americans. Having spent most of my life in the NYC area, I can honestly tell you that I’ve never met a Jewish American who held any animosity toward people of German decent. The Jewish community rightly appears not to hold Germans or others accountable for what their grandparents or great grandparents might have done.

The most neglected fact about the making of the United State is the immense-unsurpassed contributions of Germans. Germans represent the single largest European group, accounting for 14.7% of all European immigrants. German immigrants and their descendants brought to American society a "maker" ethos . They literally made up America's industrial and agricultural backbone, engaged not in journalism, movies, fashion --- but in manly pursuits (furniture, machining, farming, engineering). German immigrants excelled in precision machine tool industries, civil and mechanical engineering, building railroads, bridges, and infrastructure. They played key role in developing rocketry for Apollo missions, and modernizing agricultural techniques (Wisconsin became "America's Dairyland" due to German settlers). Germans gave Americans the kindergarten system, the Christmas tree tradition, hot dogs, hamburgers, the major beers, NASA and moon landings, and the best football players Why is everyone afraid to affirm this heritage? America, after all, was conceived as a synthesis of 4 traditions: 1) Classic Greek philosophy with its standard of actualizing the highest in human nature; 2) Roman republican government and rule of the best through an aristocratic division of powers among three branches of government; 3) Christian/Anglo Protestant morals; 4) Germanic aristocratic ethos of honor and primordial freedom. But the Germanic side was rejected after WWII; Christianity was transmuted into "Judeo-Christianity", the Greek-Roman side was reduced to "democracy" and "civil rights" for blacks.

@DefiyantlyFree Yes-I lost 18 lbs. just walking my dog a few times a day. Walking and fresh air (and not keeping your head in your IPHONE) is very important.

Walking 10,000 steps a day has literally been amazing. Let’s hope I don’t get busy again and stop doing it. Honestly being outside and getting fresh air and vitamin D really does boost your mood. If I could only learn to find something positive about the gym that would be amazing but that’s ok lol. Baby steps.

@PaulDMauro Was just there this past October. Interestingly, the Romans preferred the chariot races at the Circus Maximus over the gladiator matches at the Colosseum. Also, the Emperor doing the thumbs up, thumbs down thing was only in the movies.

Off from Fox and The Ops Desk for annual vacation. This thing has to be seen in person to be believed. The size of it!

@shagbark_hick Interesting/I’m not really familiar with that area of NY, but, true, Upstate NY has much natural beauty.

Case in point here is Upstate NY. This place should be a paradise. It's superlatively gorgeous -- maybe the most beautiful place east of the Mississippi -- and fertile. The housing's cheap, there are OK jobs, soil's fine, life is easy. But people here are MISERABLE. Daily interactions involve leering, awkward staring, cold shoulders, nervous energy. Loner-hermit types avoid others; elderly are crotchedy and skittish. DinerGoth types are lurking, vaping, being gay, mumbling to themselves in the Stewart's parking lot. No one's stopping to chat, no one's your friend, everyone is kind of tense in public. Guys are shooting up on the street in Watertown, Utica, even Tupper Lake. Any cop will tell you WEIRD, dark stories about what goes on here. The Kulak class is overtaxed; the State Workers dream of Florida once the pension hits. Young guys are all planning to move to South Carolina, Texas. Local government is a good old boys club for the dumbest, most cynical drunkards in each county. The whole vibe is "soviet." Except in lib enclaves, where the vibe is "tense, judgemental, 'in this house we believe', paranoid about MAGA, cloistered." And so this place is cheap, low-rent, undesirable. Gentrifiers try to come but they don't stay here. This place resists any attempt to "reinvigorate" it. The dysgenic darkness hangs over every inch of it; no amount of bright-eyed yuppies can fix it. Albany can't fix it. It's all graft, corruption, awkward stammering parochial nutcases wandering the streets in between disability checks. The residents of so many places here are the genetic remnants of those who didn't have the gumption or the brains to go West when the time came, and it shows. Literally the best move we have is to pay people to LEAVE. If I was the governor I'd allocate massive amounts of money towards this. I'd straight-up pay people to clear out, get out of here, move along. I'd pay their moving expenses, send them to Florida or whatever. And we'd flourish.

@Doranimated Spain is the soft underbelly of Europe. It’s apparent that Spain will do little to nothing to stop mass migration from North Africa and the Middle East. Unfortunately there is no Charles Martel today who will turn back the invaders as they push through Spain and into France.

The good news is that the Spanish haven't lost all sense of tradition. Now to the bad news. On Easter Sunday, in the village of El Burgo, Spain (near Malaga), the locals celebrated their annual “Burning de Judas” ceremony by detonating a seven-meter effigy of, wait for it, Benjamin Netanyahu. The ritual identifies a figure of “evil” or betrayal and destroys it in public. This year, the locals cast a Jewish leader in the role of Judas and blew him apart for killing Jesus. This is a very old charge. The Spanish forgot how to make babies but they remember how to hate Jews.

@JosephWenger___ @JosephBottum Yes-I even think the “In Through The Out Door”album ( while Bonham was still alive) lost some of the Zeppelin mojo,

@JosephBottum Awesome reinterpretation of his own music. In the end, Plant did the right thing by never allowing Zeppelin to continue after Bonham’s death.

Much as Johnny Cash did with "Hurt," Robert Plant turns Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On" from a young man's song to an old man's—the road calling a boy to leave a love affair, remade into a gray-hair's knowledge that he must soon leave life.

@emilykschrader I always wanted to visit Spain. Now, I’ll never give that country 1 red cent. I don’t blame the average Spanish citizen, but I can’t think of anything they’ve contributed to the world since Picasso and Dali.

This is Spain today. Under Sanchez’s guidance, Spain is returning to its rich heritage of Jew hating violence.

Radio talk show host Bob Grant. The GOAT. He predicted many decades ago, that every day, more and more, we are slipping into a 3rd World country.

@DahliaKurtz Al Qaeda, ISIS and other Islamists have long sought to return Spain to Muslim domination. They are well on their way to making it Al-Andalusia once again.

In 1492, Spain tried to destroy the Jews. In 2026, Spain keeps trying... But it won't end well. I mean, just look at this massive mob in 🇪🇸 actually cheering for its own death.

@FracturedLight0 One problem-Saint Peter is buried under the Vatican in Rome according to the Catholic Church. Peter being “the rock” upon whom the Church was built.

Tucker Carlson is in disbelief when Steve Sweeney tells him Israel bombed Saint Peter’s burial site Sweeney says the bombing was not accidental, it’s a common Israeli practice. He points to a string of similar attacks on Holy Sites. “It wasn’t accidentally targeted, it wasn’t collateral damage. This was a deliberate attack on the tomb of Saint Peter.”

@joelmowbray @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow I suppose Tucker was always this warped, but the professional production team at Fox News were able to restrain him and to make him appear to be much more intelligent and sane than he actually is.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE — Per Tucker's guest, "Most Christians... are Talmudic Jews wrapped in Christianity." It was downhill from there. Nathan Apffel said a "nefarious they" have secretly coerced evangelicals to support Israel — and bring the Antichrist — all "for the sake of controlling the world." Apffel added that Jews and/or those who support Israel are not just "demonic," but are "workers" for "Satan." Not surprisingly, Apffel loves Carrie Prejean. The first clue from the interview that Apffel likes to repackage arguments from neo-Nazis and white nationalists — wrapped in a friendlier veneer — is his use of the term "Talmudic Jews." No Jew uses that term, nor does almost anyone else. It's almost exclusively the province of people like Dan Bilzerian, the types who spread outrageous falsehoods about what is supposedly in the Talmud. And yet, Apffel has built an influencer brand of a "peace, love & harmony" Christian — making his Jew-hating smears far more dangerous. Rather than using the more common arguments, such as claiming that Christian Zionists are misguided or that Jews had exerted undue influence on the Scofield Bible a century ago, Apffel straight out said most Christians in America today support Israel because "the church, and especially the evangelical church, is being used [by a "nefarious they"] as a tool for a far greater agenda that most people can’t see or fathom at the moment." In response to Tucker asking him, "Do you believe that there’s a spiritual component to this?", Apffel didn't hesitate. "100%. I do firmly believe there’s a demonic component to this behind it all. And the church — again, the church and its resources are being used to do it." Moments later, Apffel explained that this "demonic" group of Zionists have hijacked Christianity "for the sake of controlling the world." When Tucker responded by saying this sounds to him like "the deception that Jesus promises will come at some point," Apffel immediately agreed. "Well, Satan came as light, and then he says, 'My workers will come as light also.'" Screaming "Satan" or "demon" at Jews or anyone else who supports the Jewish state has become so common that even hippie surfer "preachers" like Apffel gleefully do so. Never mind that the people who have carried out the most violent anti-Semitic hate crimes have been motivated by ideas suggesting that Jews are dangerous, that they run the world (or at least U.S. foreign policy), and/or that they are "Satanic" or the "Synagogue of Satan." Even by those who have targeted small Jewish children. But a supposed Christian like Apffel exhibits no concern that the venom he's peddling has already animated actual violence against Jews. That's because it has become not just acceptable to demonize Jews, but normal, even profitable. (Megyn Kelly even bragged about this...) And as long as these hate merchants keep getting clicks, they won't stop — even when violent thugs target Jews yet again. No matter how many Jews may die.

@LauraLoomer @naomirwolf @hasanthehun Caviar Communists all.

Muslim streamer Hasan Piker @hasanthehun, who was caught on camera sleeping in First class on an airplane yesterday while wearing pro-socialism clothing with his assistant, has openly called for capitalists to be murdered: “Yeah kill them! KiII those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.” Why are Democrats campaigning with this violent, Muslim lunatic?

@eddie_sell36061 @Uncommonsince76 @MollyDavis543 The Democrats in 1860 were the Party of the Confederate South, whose population at the time was overwhelmingly of English, Scottish and Irish decent. The Jews didn’t immigrate en mass to the US until the 1880’s-1920’s.

@RedBlueNScrewed @Uncommonsince76 @MollyDavis543 You can go to the census of 1860 and it'll have all the proof you need don't forget an 1860 the Democrats were Jews They have literally erased information off of the computer in the past 6 months before that they were flaunting it in front of everybody

Not enough people know this, but Joseph Goebbels had a PHD in history, was incredibly intelligent, and kept a nearly daily diary for 21 years… Over those 75k pages of writings, no mentions of a Holocaust, gas chambers, or a mass extermination operation…. Numerous discussions of expelling the jews from Germany however, because that was the actual goal.

@StopAntisemites @TheLeoTerrell Is it safe?

Meet Lori Anna Dees, owner of Mesquite Endodontics. Dr. Dees refers to Jews as “cunning,” blames Jews for 9/11, and claims Jews provoke Muslims to destroy the world. Are Jewish patients safe in her care? Please note: since showcasing Dr. Dees last night, she has now deleted her X account. Archives of her posts and screen recording of her account in thread.

@eddie_sell36061 @Uncommonsince76 @MollyDavis543 Hmm-must be why there are so many Black Americans with surnames like Jones, Williams, Washington, Adam’s, Smith…etc.

@Uncommonsince76 @MollyDavis543 The Holocaust is fake just like slavery in America the Jews owned all the slaves not white people but the Jews blamed white people so that they could look innocent just like with the Holocaust they've done the same thing to America they were doing the Germany

I was on the frontlines investigating fraud for the old INS for the Reagan Amnesty program. There were millions of fraudulent applications that had to be adjudicated by only a handful of overwhelmed Immigration Examiners. Most applications were simply rubber stamped for approval. Once the applicant obtained a green card and, eventually, US citizenship, he or she could then sponsor immediate and extended family members for US green cards, each of whom, in turn, sponsored further family members, and so on and so on. This is what is meant by “chain migration.” Reagan’s Amnesty, whether intentional or not, was the cause of the huge demographic change of the US starting in the late 1980’s. I believe we do need to update our legal immigration system, but not in the form of an amnesty. It should just be easier for certain industries, like hotels, restaurants, landscaping, etc. to be able to file for TEMPORARY work permits for migrant workers. Many migrants, if you actually ask them, will tell you they don’t even want full US green cards or citizenship. They just want to be able to work in the US part of the year and go back and forth to live in their home countries.

The swamp and their allies in corporate media are renewing their push for the largest amnesty in American history – the DIGNIDAD Act – a bill so bad for the American people they couldn’t even name it in English. As if naming their amnesty bill in a foreign language wasn’t insulting enough, the swamp is trying to convince you their amnesty bill, which would give legal status to 13+ million illegal aliens, isn’t actually amnesty. What else are you supposed to call allowing foreign nationals who broke our laws to come into our country to stay here? Republicans won in 2024 in large part because we correctly identified the amnesty and open borders being pushed by Democrats are reckless, dangerous, and compromise the American dream for natural-born citizens. The American people voted for Republicans to secure the border and deport illegal aliens. But we are already starting to see some in our party seek to betray that promise. We read the bill, and here are some of the ways the DIGNIDAD Act (also known as the Dignity Act) betrays the American people: Sec. 1122 – Codifies a Biden-era policy which establishes sanctuary areas for illegal aliens in every city and town in America by prohibiting immigration enforcement actions “in or “near” any courthouse, school, medical facility, place which provides social services, area where there are parades, demonstrations, or rallies, any place where religious or civil ceremonies occur, any place children gather, or any place which provides emergency or disaster assistance. Sec. 1501 & 1502 – Creates up to 3 “humanitarian campuses” along our Southern border to quickly shepherd aliens into our country, requires 72 hour “rest periods” for aliens arriving at these campuses, and expedited procedures to give aliens asylum. Sec. 1503 – If these campuses along our border weren’t bad enough, this creates up to 3 facilities in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean to pre-screen and process aliens seeking to come to America. Sec. 1511 – Hidden in this section is the codification of the Flores Settlement Agreement, which incentivizes the exploitation and trafficking of children across our borders. Sec. 1516 – Provides student loan forgiveness for 75% of law school loans of lawyers who provide legal services to illegal aliens seeking to enter our country at the campuses established in the bill. Sec. 2102 – Grants conditional PERMANENT resident status to approximately 2.5 million illegal aliens, waiving almost all inadmissibility and deportability criteria in current law and even explicitly allowing certain CRIMINALS to become permanent residents. Sec. 2104 – Grants full unconditional PERMANENT resident status to the approximately 2.5 illegal aliens from Sec. 2102 so long as they earn ANY income for a total of 4 years or obtain almost any education credential after high school or can demonstrate an “inability” or “hardship” as to why they can’t meet this incredibly low bar. Sec. 2203 – Prohibits the deportation of any illegal alien who is prima facie eligible for the amnesty programs in the bill, requires the DHS Secretary to cancel existing orders of removal for those individuals, and gives advance parole and a work permit to any alien who applies for an adjustment of status under these amnesty programs. Sec. 2206 – Creates an appeals process for aliens who had their amnesty applications denied and prohibits DHS from deporting any individuals while the lengthy appellate process unfolds. Sec. 2208 – Prohibits DHS from disclosing or using information provided in these amnesty applications for the purpose of immigration enforcement and creates a $10,000 penalty for doing so. This means if someone’s application for amnesty is denied, DHS can’t use the information they provided to locate, apprehend, and remove them. Title III of Division B (Secs. 2301 – 2305) – Creates the so-called “Dignity Program” to provide indefinitely renewable legal status and work permits to approximately 10.5 million illegal aliens who have been here since December 31, 2020. All the aliens would have to do is pay what amounts to approximately $83/month over a seven-year period, be employed in any manner (including self-employment) or attend any post-secondary classes for 4 years. DHS would be prohibited from deporting or fining any illegal alien who even appear prima facie eligible for this program for 2 years. Those granted amnesty in this program would be exempt from payroll taxes – making it cheaper to employ these amnesty recipients than natural-born Americans. They would even be allowed to claim non-means tested public benefits and certain CRIMINALS would be granted amnesty under the program. Sec. 3112 – Allows the admission of certain inadmissible and deportable aliens to the United States and allows DHS to terminate removal proceedings, decline to order the removal of, and grant these aliens permission to reapply for admission to the U.S. This allows for broad chain migration and an administrative pathway to amnesty. Secs. 3201 – 3203; 3301 – 3304 – Dramatically increase the number of foreign nationals allowed into our country through various legal pathways, including for nonimmigrant work visas and permanent residence. The sponsor of the DIGNIDAD Act, a so-called Republican, says this bill is a one-time fix. This is exactly what Republicans were told during the Reagan administration when they were fooled into supporting a one-time, last amnesty for 3 million illegal aliens in exchange for promises of border security and immigration enforcement which never materialized. It was one of Republicans’ greatest mistakes of the last 50 years. We will not be fooled again. The sponsor of the DIGNIDAD Act, when faced with pushback the bill didn’t go far enough to help illegal aliens, said “at some point in the future, another legislator will write another law to give them path to citizenship, right now what we need to do is…allow them to stay”. Mark my words, green cards are just their first step. If we allow it, citizenship will follow. They will vote; their children will vote. The sponsor of the bill says this is about “DIGNITY” (or DIGNIDAD). Dignity for whom? Certainly not for the American workers who will have to compete with illegal aliens given amnesty in this bill for jobs. Certainly not for American families who will have to compete with illegal aliens given amnesty in this bill for housing. Certainly not for the victims of illegal aliens granted amnesty in this bill who go on to commit crimes. Certainly not for the natural-born Americans who will watch their culture, their country, and their American dream slip away from them. We will not bend. We will not break. NO to the DIGNIDAD Act. America FIRST, Amnesty NEVER. us

The Reagan amnesty program and it’s offshoots was rife with fraud. A handful of Immigration examiners had to interview millions of applicants and review their documentation. Overwhelmed by the caseload, Immigration officers were forced to rubber stamp millions of cases for approval. Once the applicant obtained legal US residency and US citizenship, he or she was then able to bring in their families. Each family member, now a legal US resident, was also then able to sponsor additional family members, and so on and so on. This is what is meant by “chain migration.” This is why there was such a huge demographic change in the US starting in the late 1980’s.

🚨 WOW! Laura Ingraham CALLS OUT amnesty bill DIGNIDAD Act co-sponsor Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) to his FACE for trying to facilitate more illegal immigration LAWLER: You've got people living in the SHADOWS! INGRAHAM: "Stop using the CLICHES. 'In the shadows.' What shadows are you looking at? They're working in restaurants, others are engaged in WIDESPREAD FRAUD in California!" "They're NOT given amnesty. Why are you coming on TV and saying that? The president is trying to REMOVE them!" "We need strong Republicans to support it!" LAWLER: Criminal aliens should be removed, and the bill provides for that. I don't want anyone getting a waiver for that. INGRAHAM: "It's in the legislation. Have you READ the legislation?" "Answer a simple question...tell my audience how does an immigration officer determine MILLIONS of people, determine continuous presence, and the considerations to determine that?" LAWLER: If they cannot prove continuous presence, they wouldn't qualify...they make the determination as they always have. INGRAHAM: "I can't IMAGINE Democrat immigration officers being this strict [in the future]!"

These are EXTREMELY BAD exemplars, but they choose them deliberately because they do indeed represent the ultimate goals of the left. South Africa has become a literal hellscape where the most productive and functional people are hunted and murdered with near-impunity for no other reason than racial grievance, and the 'government' is utterly incapable of even the most basic civic functions like electricity or road maintenance. And 'Palestine' is a nightmarish Islamic terror-state in which small children are raised to believe the most honorable path in life is suicide while committing mass murder against Jews and Americans, and even their neighboring Muslim majority nations want nothing to do with them. This has been publicly repeated more than once now by prominent Democrats, including our Mayor. They mean it. It is an existential threat to all of us, and should be treated as such. This is what you're getting when you vote for Democrats. Any Democrat. Even the ones who don't speak like this enable the ones that do. This is a very ugly path to go down, and it will lead to bloodshed. Guaranteed. Will anyone in that party other than John Fetterman say ANYTHING at all about this?
