Oh, my! What a great issue!

Burning Bright, I agree with your thoughts regarding the Donbas. When I taught there (Donetsk) just before the turn of the century but after the collapse of the Soviet Union I was struck by how closely aligned the people I met - not just students but many others as well - were culturally and spiritually aligned with Russia. Their language was more Russian than Ukrainian, they were likely to have Rubles mixed among the Hryvnias in their pockets, and everything from clothing and home styles to their beautiful songs and artwork displayed their ancient ties not with the Soviet but with the Russian people. When Nazis from the western region began attacking Christians in Donbas, Putin came to the defense of the churches, first diplomatically and then kinetically.

Thank you for the additional insight your experience brings! It helps to understand what happened there and why all of the propaganda was spread.

The SCOTUS is expected to hand down its ruling today on the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship.

The original intent was crystal clear, grant citizenship to freed slaves after the Civil War, people born here and fully subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Not a blank check for children of illegal immigrants.

Democrats created the anchor-baby trap by twisting that language into an open border incentive and future voter pipeline.

It's time for the SCOTUS to end this distortion and restore the Framer's original intent and true meaning. No more loopholes that undermine the American worker and our sovereignty.

Using paradoxical intent, typically used when my wagered team is expected lose.......I'm wagering "there is no way in hell this ends the "birth-right" baby mill industry.

WHY.....No one has the cojones, testicules (QuΓ©bΓ©cois), ΰ€…ΰ€‚ΰ€‘ΰ€•ΰ₯‹ΰ€· (Andakosh) or ΰ€΅ΰ₯ƒΰ€·ΰ€£ (Vrishan)[Indian], gāowΓ‘n (Chineese), mudi (Russian) xiniinyaha (Somali) to deal with sorting it out.

GOOGLE AI (not MY opinion, but the statist talking points)

ECONOMIC STRAIN and DEMOGRAPHICS SHRINKING TAX BASE:

By turning millions of U.S.-born children into undocumented individuals over time, the policy would create massive barriers to legal work, severely reducing future tax contributions.

INCREASED UNAUTHORIZED POPULATION:

Research from the Migration Policy Institute projects that repealing birthright citizenship would significantly inflate the size of the unauthorized population, potentially adding millions to these groups within a few decades.

WORKFORCE DEFICITS: By excluding these U.S.-raised populations from the formal labor market, the policy would shrink the available workforce and risk creating a "brain drain" if highly skilled immigrants relocate before having children.

INVASIVE BUREAUCRACY: The government would need to build a costly, expansive system to determine who qualifies for citizenship at birth based on the immigration status of the parents.

EXPANDED SCRUTINY: Because birth certificates would no longer guarantee citizenship, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS and EMPLOYERS WOULD BE EMPOWERED TO ARBITRARILY QUESTION the STATUS OF ANY CITIZEN, opening the door to racial discrimination and deeper government interference.

So, you are saying we have allowed our system to be so screwed up that it cannot be fixed legally. The 14th Amendment isn’t that hard to understand but it has been twisted by the Left to create a market for illegally generating citizens out of nothing. It has also created a very lucrative market selling these citizenships and parlaying that sale into even more citizens. The intent was to damage our immigration system and it has worked.

The Supreme Court actually should have no problem in making this right. But, that would require honesty and a simple interpretation of the Constitution and the law. Democrats are expert at screwing things up so totally that America is trapped and cannot recover. Look at $40 Trillion of national debt if you doubt me.

CT Loyd's avatar

I think the original Patrick Henry said it best.......

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT A NATION OF INFIDELS or IDOLATERS SHOULD BE A NATION OF FREEMEN. IT IS WHEN A PEOPLE FORGET GOD THAT TYRANTS FORGE THEIR CHAINS. A VITIATED STATE OF MORALS, A CORRUPTED PUBLIC CONSCIENCE, IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FREEDOM. NO FREE GOVERNMENT, or THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY, can be preserved to any people BUT BY A FIRM ADHERENCE TO JUSTICE, moderation, temperance, frugality, AND VIRTUE; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles."

Jim Schout's avatar

Perfect! The Progressives have intentionally created a class of corrupted public conscience victims. Free stuff sells if you are receiving the free stuff and someone else is footing the bill.

Republicans fund defense, pay the interest on the debt, and everything called out in the Constitution. Democrats fund Socialism. There isn’t enough tax revenue to do it all so we borrow to give stuff away.

Our situation isn’t hard to explain if we just read the founding documents. Our problem is we don’t read them and let politicians twist the meanings to destroy America. It took 250 years to get this far off course.

JC's avatar

A nation is only sovereign if its people are free. A people are free when they are not enslaved. A people is not enslaved when they embrace truth. A people embrace truth when they understand their right relationship to God and Man.

A people enslaved in lies of idolatry (pick any definition of that) will twist at the whim of the priests behind such idols, and their nation will twist with or without them.

It saddens me to see this analysis, but it wouldn't surprise me if you are correct.

The Democrats are following the play book of the father of lies, twist the plain language to bring in confusion.

Gen 3:1-5

1Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, β€œIndeed, has God said, β€˜You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” 2The woman said to the serpent, β€œFrom the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; 3but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, β€˜You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” 4The serpent said to the woman, β€œYou surely will not die! 5β€œFor God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The woman played loose with the word of God and added something God did not say. The enemy struck upon this and twisted God's clear meaning. When doubt and confusion enter the enemy presents something deadly as harmless.

Lone Star exile's avatar

Since God gave the original instructions to Adam (before Eve was made), isn't it just as likely that Adam is the one who added the admonition not to "touch it" when he taught Eve what God had said?

Just a hypothesis...

JC's avatar

It's possible. Scripture ought to be carefully unpackaged when we know some people will use it to cut at different groups--men and women in this case. Best to stick to what is known: there was an addition, the woman transgressed, the man (who was apparently hanging around) both did not protect the woman and accepted her offering to join in the transgression. Both willfully sinned, and by doing so death entered mankind.

Lone Star exile's avatar

From the Apostle Paul we learn for sure that Eve was telling the truth when she told God, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." Adam was not deceived, but disobeyed willingly. He failed in his original mission given to him before Eve was made, namely, to tend the Garden and watch over it (guard? it).

MAB4Liberty's avatar

The Serpent, Eve and Adam all sinned. God declared punishment on each of them. Gen 3: 14-19.

God gave a command to protect mankind out of love. He declared judgement on the guilty parties, because He is righteous and just.

Codification of peace, and stabilization of world trade, combined with dismemberment of the global banking cartel; these have been slowly simmering for at least a decade. We have watched this pot carefully and are impatient! But signs are accelerating toward a satisfactory boil. I am looking for financial signals: Resurgence of metals and BTC, audit of Ft. Knox, collapse of Asian currencies as they unwind their debt.

MAB4Liberty's avatar

This illustrates Chris Paul's drafting analogy. The bad guys were going to unravel the current financial system and solve the "crisis" with their digital coin to solidify their economic slave system. President Trump and the Sovereign Alliance we support have created an alternative system to hopefully provide a more open free market economy.

HisGloriousVictory's avatar

Correct me if I am wrong. The best reason to be thinking two, three, or even four steps ahead of one's opponent is in the attempt to force him to make a certain move that must by reason seem appropriate, even advantageous to him. Feints and double feints (kind of like the iocaine powder scene). Ultimate moves are made, strategies are tested, and new options are discerned!

In the end (or so it seems to me): What matters most is "In what contest is one actually engaged?"

Thank again Badlands team!

It seems that the Middle East will be the Middle East -- regardless of the country and situation. People will be people. Iran and Iraq seemingly aligned again -- or always? I wonder what MBS will do with this situation. He has been very quiet through all of this -- at least as reported in the media. It seems that this could be part of Trump letting the Middle East give their power back to the Middle East....so to speak. If Trump can keep up from once again being the world's policeman, I will be happy.

Elections - the changes within the left parties makes me think of the phrase -- things will get worse before they get better. Let the rabble continue the insanity until even the inmates think it is too crazy. That will make the rest of us palatable and reasonable.....(and right???) I would like to hope to be seen as true, but that is less likely because of RINO's, etc.

This makes me wonder if this whole DSA winning specific Democrat primaries is engineered but not by the Deep State. Voters continually fall for the gaslighting of the Clown-backed candidates (or agents) and vote these Clown operatives into power. There is no way that the DSA can gaslight people into voting for them because they are 'moderates'. This is another way to wake us up to stop voting D just because they always have.

I think the DSA is real, and the allegations have some merit. While the split narrative is done mostly through Politico, that doesn't make it false. Like other organizations, it was infiltrated to come out in the open and engage in seditious language that resonated with groups of people, even though its visible presence is mostly on college campuses. I also think that part of the intent is to vote out the DNC-DS controlled Mafia in Congress, but with candidates that can't even masquerade as one whose values resonate with those on the left (not the radicals who have been weaponized by the DNC). Trump can't legitimately stop these candidates, so the white hats or whatever you want to call them are ramping up the optical war in the D party to do what Trump is doing to the R party: primarying out the treasonous Congress peope. After the election, it remains to be seen how many Zionists remain.

To me, it is another way of primarying out the crooks; these DSA candidates may be treasonous as well, but it wrecks the media and the DNC talking points to the point where large swaths of anyone but Trump voters go through cognitive dissonance that may result in them declaring themselves as non-affiliated voters and worse for the Democrat leadership to sit out the midterms. Their cheating requires a certain turnout of loyal voters. If that turnout falls below expectation, the cheating fails.

Jim Schout's avatar

I just listened to a fairly lengthy discussion about the success of the DSA in America. The key word that they all agreed upon was β€œAffordability”. Mamdani in NYC glommed onto this theme and it resonated with the ignorant NY voters. They all agreed that affordability in NYC sucks! So, making its repair a campaign guarantee sold well.

No one in that discussion made the connection that is needed. Why does affordability suck in New York? Democrat leadership for decades! So, the new DSA party has the cure for the old Democrat Party’s mess! I find this to be hilarious, but of the five panelists not a single one made this point. All they did was point to the fact that Socialism fails everywhere it is tried.

That pitch will not sell! Look at NYC! It is still there and going with its Socialism in control. It hasn’t failed there has it? So, the DSA blames the old Democrats for not doing enough to fix the affordability crisis.

Stupid people can be led to do stupid things. Inflation is what created the crisis and the Democrats borrowing and spending on giving free stuff away at the expense of the tax payers is what created the inflation. But, who understands this?

To me this is the problem in NYC. But it is also the problem everywhere else in America. If we don’t get smart about our real problems we are going to fail. America is under attack by an enemy that knows how to fight dirty. It is deeply embedded into our society and very few even know it is here.

The narrative allows the elections to be stolen. People are quick to blame voters for putting bad people into these positions of mis-representation. The narrative rolled out tells the story of voters leaning one way, followed by surveys and polls to support the intended outcome so when these miscreants "win" the electors do not question the outcome. The Party's play into the uni-party plot of needing to register more people to vote and/or contributing to the Party to get back the seat. We the People get trapped in a corrupt illusion of choice designed to erode our freedoms session by session.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on accepting mail in ballots after Election Day is going to be a key factor in this entire process.

β€”-Yes, Ghost is correct, β€˜This is absolutely Trump and the Sovereign Alliance taking down the Deep State.’ Iran’s role apparently is multifaceted.

"On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that federal Election Day statutes do not require mail-in ballots to be physically received by Election Day."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-rules-mail-in-ballots-received-after-election-day

I'm not an election expert, neither a πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² lawyer, but I wonder IF SCOTUS didn’t simply issue a ruling intended to encourage Congress to properly legislate on this issue at both the national level (federal elections) and the state level (local elections).

This would leave the court some leeway for future adjudication...

That seems more consistent AND constructive to me than simply blocking a questionable provision when it would be possible to reform this entire issue through the legislative process that represents β€œWe the People” πŸ€”πŸ€”

Jim Schout's avatar

The problem is actually in the definition of β€œmail in ballots”. Absentee ballots are mailed in legally in every state I know about. They must already be postmarked on or prior to Election Day. So the SCOTUS just did absolutely nothing in most states.

The problem is where states mail out ballots to everyone on their roles. Having them postmarked changes nothing because the postmark isn’t the problem. Having hundreds of thousands of ballots floating around creates voter fraud with no real control.

We tend to argue the wrong points. Or, is that intentional?

Knowing the voter is a legal citizen and casing his own vote is necessary. That cannot be achieved with a mass mailing of ballots. But, if a state chooses to do this, the laws do not prohibit it because the Constitution puts the state in charge of running its elections.

ALtab's avatar

You grasped the core of β€˜our’ problem (again)! Why do we argue the wrong points! I live in a state with solid absentee voting policies! It wouldn’t change a thing here. Only in the states that cheat massively.

It will be interesting to see what this (IMO) unconstitutional ruling brings. It will likely not be what we expect.

I am not sure how important the engine is: whether Chinese or American made. I think what matters is how the engine learns what is true or not. If done right according to rules based in truth, the AI can obsolete many high paying professions, mostly the middleman: coders, technicians, paralegals, reading things like medical imaging, real estate agents, logistic planners for package delivery, travel agents, just to name a few. It is also way to phase these out, as once you get the middlemen out, costs for professional services including legal come way down and interaction with experts can become more transactional, and less likely to be manipulated to go in a certain direction.

It can also even the playing field in things that are normally rigged, like stock market trading. It can also pick out fraud, as I think DOGE was done by AI with quantum computers. I included real estate agents because real estate is a profession that is riddled with excessive layers of middlemen and deception that rigs the game in favor of sellers. You can get rid of the IRS using AI and pick out SS fraud using it. AI excels at pattern matching, but the rules must be done by ethical people who are not paid by the entities with power to micromanage people's lives. Do you trust China to do this? Do you trust big tech? I trust neither, so I am watching this AI thing escalate so people begin to understand that AI is no less biased than the creators of it, whether Chinese or the US. government.

I think if we want to use AI, it is to use it for specific tasks like reading X-rays, or coding, but for now avoid tasks that require some level of human interaction like treatment plans or showing homes as the human interaction adds a personal touch to the transaction that will lead to better outcomes.
