Just the other day I saw a video from the UK where a migrant stole a
kids bike while using a knife. The migrant didn't get to far because
the the father of that kid drove after the thief with his car and PLOWED into the thief killing him.

Illegals don't know or care what the laws are. Why should they? Catholic Charities has lawyers standing by in case anyone tries to deport them.

I have no idea of the frustration(s) felt by the father, or anyone else
in that community, but I do think society is being pushed to the brink
by the Elites amongst us.

It's twice as bothersome when you're victimized by an illegal immigrant. I hope you never experience it. My wife and I were in Albuquerque and an illegal immigrant drove into our car and put a huge dent in the passenger side door. I called the police and they said "She's an illegal immigrant and she doesn't have any insurance, so there's nothing I can do." (IOW: 2 fists up my ass instead of one.)

White people were attacked in Cincinnati... beaten to a pulp... and
people stood by and video taped the whole thing. It took 19 hours for
the police to respond... The Police Chief of the city, a DEI hire, was perplexed by the fact that citizens were taping this event... She did go on about inclusion and a few other DEI things.

But who knows what they might have done to instigate it. Based on the news, the lady had no intelligent reason to walk into that situation. Fox News likes to stir things up. I know it seems like they're doing a good deed by reporting a story that other outlets ignored, but people get beat up every day in every city.

Worry about the video taping later... She should be investigating things and arresting people. Get the Feds involved and get to a conclusion...

The mayor of Cincinnati is a Democrat, so that doesn't help. DEI is to be expected. We need Vivek Ramaswamy to win their gubernatorial election this year so that he can shake things up.

Now that is an organization that has deep fingers into many things. I don't see them going bankrupt soon.

That certainly hurt their income. But they have many other sources, often hidden from sight.

That's probably the next battlefront: The governors. We need to get the Wokies out of that too. The cities will fall quickly after that because they won't have any money to continue their Woke policies.

You're not aware of the ridiculous amount of money they get in donations?

People are paying for access to heaven (so they think.) I haven't donated more than a few dollars to them in the past 10 years, but I know that other people are donating a lot because the church posts the donation amounts in the church newsletter. The last time I looked at it they got about $3500 in one week. That's a lot of bread.

No way. She left before we did. The cop gave us her name (if that's her real name) and he said that we can take her to small claims court if want to, but we let it go.

I bought my wife a MAGA hat for Xmas and she lost it. I want to find it so I can wear it! Not because I want to fight with people, but because I want people to come up to me and say "Me too!"

I'm getting sick of church but there's still 1 good thing about it: it shows kids that God is to be taken seriously. I just always have to do a follow-up lecture to the kids after church to erase the parts that were added by the elite.

I used to think that it was also useful because it gets large groups of people praying for the same thing, but that has turned into large groups praying for elitists like Pope Leo and Vladimir Zelenski and my only prayers for those 2 is that they turn their lives around.

The church's priorities are mismanaged and they're dishonest about
things. They assume the churchgoers are brainwashed enough by the media that we'll fall for such crap, but we're not, and they also think
they're fooling us with "helping immigrants is what Jesus would do."

What does the church get out of propagating things? (There could only be one thing!)

I'm Catholic, convert so that I could Church marry my wife... The Latina.

I joined the Knights of Columbus, I wanted to donate some time and do things for the community.

This church was popular, all mass times were booked solid... Knights wanted to do a breakfast... Pancake Tuesday.

There were a couple dozen Knights working this... an 80++ year old man doing dishes... We were packed... as each mass came out they'd go for pancakes...

A few days later I was at a meeting with the Knights and they boasted that we made, net, $250.00 from the breakfast...

I said loud enough to be heard... Why didn't everyone just pitch in $10 dollars and stay home... I was reminded about fellowship... and all I could think was... I wanted to make a difference... Support some orphanage somewhere... Help non-aborted babies in someway... ANYTHING other than work my ass off for, as a group, to make $250.00

It was the last meeting I went to... I'll just donate to causes I want to and not have my time given to an organization who gets excited about $250.

There is more to say... But I'll leave it at that.

There is a saying in Florida... and that is... The further North you are n Florida the further south you are.

A lot of people who move to Florida from up north move to the more southern parts of the state... It starts around Tampa and continues south... You can hear all the NY accents... and when these assholes from NY move they bring their politics with them... This explains Miami, and other larger southern cities voting Democrat. Thanx to Ron DeSantis and Daddy Trump these Blue areas now are Purple.

I had a Real Estate license in Florida, still do, since the early 2000s. My first real estate translation involved guns and gunfire...

True Story.

The house was a For Sale By Owner... FISBO... and I was representing the buyer. A couple from Ohio, or Ohi'ya from the south. They were staying in a RV place just down the street from the house... Rock Crusher Canyon... The place was being rented out at the time and the tenants didn't want to move.

So, the tenants drove through the RV park shooting guns in the air while yelling that the buyers need to go back to Ohi'ya.

Well, the sheriff got involved, the house closed and no one died.

Funny story... But I love Red Necks... Citrus County was full of them... In fact you couldn't make a full set of teeth with the bunch.

If I was ever in need of help... it was a Conservative/Republican/RedNeck that had my back. They were there before you needed to ask... It is these Patriots that went to war and died for freedoms that some seem to take for granted today.

One last true story... I just moved down there and it was Veteran's Day and I was at a church. The pastor started asking for people to stand up, veterans, as he started a roll call of conflicts... WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam... and the list goes on and on. As he was calling out the conflicts people started standing... Of course he calls out for Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom... By the time he was there almost every man... BUT ME... was standing. In my head I was YELLING "I'm Canadian!!! That's not fair"...

HAHAHAHA... Could you imagine how much worse I'd be if I was actually born there, raised and steeped in the southern ways...

Think about it.

I know 1 or 2 live veterans in Canada. Canada is more passive this is a fact.

BTW, I was going to join the Canadian Military and I suffered a back injury before I was to go... I finished all the required interview processes and I had to turn down the call because of a back injury that made me unfit.

So, the tenants drove through the RV park shooting guns in the air while yelling that the buyers need to go back to Ohi'ya.

That's funny! I always thought of Ohio people as hillbillies, but I don't know much about Ohio. I have a few good friends from different parts of Ohio. One thing I noticed about them is that they talk like they're from Ontario! Ever noticed that? They seriously talk like Canadians.

If I was ever in need of help... it was a
Conservative/Republican/RedNeck that had my back. They were there

When I was a kid in jr high I was bullied by rednecks (I'm from a rural town in NY.) So I always hated rednecks and country music, but now I AM a redneck and I proudly listen to country music almost every day. Country people are my people (for the most part anyway!)

This sounds like an interesting story, but I'm missing something here. Do you mean you felt weird because you're from Canada, and the leftist Canadian government has given Canada a bad name?

Personally, I've been in situations where I'm surrounded by veterans and I feel a little ashamed because I never joined the military. I have the utmost respect for people who enlist, but personally I know myself well enough to know that I'm not cut out for the military. I don't have that type of bravery. I'm the kind of guy who would probably just move to Iceland if America gets f'd over.

Each church might be different... The last Pope was an Open Border Zealot... I don't want to paint with a broad brush...

Yea, he sucked. And this new one sucks too. We don't need those guys in order to have a relationship with God.

My wife's friend wants to become Catholic, and she asked me to be her Godfather, and I said "Ok" but I also explained this same logic to her: "You don't need the Catholic church, a baptism, or a Godfather to have a meaningful relationship with God." It's all a bunch of jargon. Be a good person and pray for the things you need, and you'll have a great life and be greeted by your loved ones when you get to Heaven's gate. These are facts.

There was an area, Citrus Springs, mostly undeveloped at the time, had 1/4 acre lots for $2000... The person on the phone couldn't sell it and the broker said donate it to charity to get a tax deduction... WOW.. ~ 4 years later those same lots for around $30,000.00

Prices were "normal" ~ 5 years ago... Almost anyone could find something... and now because people are escaping the north again prices are rising again.

That's funny! I always thought of Ohio people as hillbillies, but I
don't know much about Ohio. I have a few good friends from different
parts of Ohio. One thing I noticed about them is that they talk like they're from Ontario! Ever noticed that? They seriously talk like Canadians.

The Ohio couple, "Normal" the red necks shooting guns to get the Ohio couple not to buy the house they were renting ... Not so!!

This sounds like an interesting story, but I'm missing something here.
Do you mean you felt weird because you're from Canada, and the leftist Canadian government has given Canada a bad name?

Reflecting... Born and raised in Canada. I left in my mid 30s for the US... I don't know exactly how to describe thins. I heard this from some one in the past... same scenario... I feel like I was born American but I was raised by aliens.

I am not disloyal to Canada but politically I alien with the US. Though I was born in the east right now my affiliations are with Alberta. Alberta is Canada's Texas.

Fun Fact... Alberta's welfare office is in the Unemployment office. When you go in to look for assistance they give you cards for employers who are looking for employees.

Personally, I've been in situations where I'm surrounded by veterans and
I feel a little ashamed because I never joined the military. I have the utmost respect for people who enlist, but personally I know myself well enough to know that I'm not cut out for the military. I don't have that type of bravery. I'm the kind of guy who would probably just move to Iceland if America gets f'd over.

I don't know if I felt weird, just my thoughts as almost every man in the church was standing and I was still sitting.

Someone yesterday made a comment about this and I let it be known. I was actually going to join the Canadian military. I went through the entire process and between my last interview and the phone call to show up for boot camp I suffered a back injury that made me ineligible.

My life changed dramatically from that point.

Canada is a passive country, it is what it is. I was making this point... I am what I am today, this is with my Canadian upbringing... could you imagine what I would have been like if my father's name was Bubba and I was raised full out red neck.

I think I told you this story before... I was on the phone with a friend of mine. He's a Homeopathic Doctor and I was trying to describe to him what Citrus County was like. And before my eyes I saw a great picture, I took and text it to him.

I was at a gas station. There was a professional man gassing up his expensive automobile... beside him at an other pump was a red neck gassing up a truck, I'm not sure it was even legal to drive, and they had a Confederate Battle Flag attached to the side of the truck.

So, I bought into the American dream and the concept of We The People trying to form a more perfect union.

Yea, he sucked. And this new one sucks too. We don't need those guys in order to have a relationship with God.

My wife's friend wants to become Catholic, and she asked me to be her Godfather, and I said "Ok" but I also explained this same logic to her: "You don't need the Catholic church, a baptism, or a Godfather to have a meaningful relationship with God." It's all a bunch of jargon. Be a good person and pray for the things you need, and you'll have a great life
and be greeted by your loved ones when you get to Heaven's gate. These
are facts.

My thoughts exactly... I'd be a "Christian" but some other denomination. The Catholic thing was important to my wife.

I've never even been to the states that I align with politically :(
People who live in the country seem to be more focused on what's important.

It's not shameful to not join the military. If it was 1776 then it would be shameful.

Our military was forced by RINO puppets to defend Kuwait, an Islamic monarchy that enforces Sharia law. IOW: Our military fought and died for the King's freedom to stone women to death as punishment for getting raped.

Where was the military while our country was actually being invaded by millions of illegal immigrants? (No offense intended for veterans; it's the "leaders" who make things this way.)

Those 2 guys might actually be more alike than it seems. One guy was on his way to work and for the other guy it was his day off.

The old-school liberals had the same goals as the conservatives, just different ideas on how to accomplish those goals.

Its the new liberals that have sucked the life out of the
Democrat party.

That's because they aren't liberal. They are far left (i.e. socialists).

I think the Democrat party may splinter into 2 groups,
one being the WOKE crowd and the other being the more traditional
crowd.

That's already happened. The "Walk Away" movement documented that, and was suppressed on social media. "I didn't leave the Democrat Party. The Party left me."

So the Dems didn't splinter. They shrank. With most people going independent and a good block moving to the Republicans.

That's why the Propaganda Ministry ... er. Media spends so much time trying to convince people that 20% of the population is the "majority of Americans".

Apparently they can have their minds changed... These areas are now
purple and I wonder if they'll go fully red in a few election cycles.

They have to have a mind to change in the first place.

As I've said before, these people can't think for themselves. And this isn't a new thing. It's just grown over the decades.

They are intelligent people who USED to vote Democrat, but no longer do.

That makes more sense. There are no Democrats that anyone can intelligently vote for anymore. I think JFK was the last good one (maybe the only good one.)
