[End of The American Dream] There is a clear consensus among the global elite that overpopulation is the primary cause of the most important problems that our world is facing today. Many of them are completely convinced that humans are literally a "plague" upon the Earth and that extreme measures are required to prevent us from destroying the entire planet. To the elite, everything from global warming to our growing economic problems can be directly traced back to a lack of population control. They warn that if nothing is done about our exploding population, humanity will be facing a future full of poverty, war and suffering on a filthy, desolate planet. They complain that it "costs too much" to keep elderly patients that are terminally ill alive, and they eagerly promote "family planning" in developing nations as a way to combat population growth.
Of course just about anything that reduces the human population in any way is a positive thing for those that believe in this philosophy. This very twisted philosophy is being promoted in our movies, in our television shows, in our music, in countless books, on many of our most prominent websites, and it is being taught at top colleges and universities all over the world. The people that are promoting this philosophy have very, very deep pockets, and they are actually convinced that they are helping to "save the world" by controlling the growth of the human population. In fact, many of them truly believe that they are engaged in a "life or death" struggle for the fate of the planet.

Bill Maher: "...I’m for regular suicide, I’m for whatever gets the freeway moving—that’s what I’m for. . . . It’s too crowded, the planet is too crowded and we need to promote death.”
[FoxNews] Podcaster Joe Rogan responded to President-elect Trump's recent chatter about expanding U.S. territory by saying he may as well annex Mexico as he cracks down on crime.
In the past week, President-elect Trump has flirted with territorial expansion of the United States, ranging from acquiring Greenland to making Canada the 51st state.
"Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State. The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned," Trump wrote on Truth Social following Canadian PM Justin Trudeau announcing his upcoming resignation. "If Canada merged with the U.S. [sic], there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!"
Rogan shared a screenshot of the post on Instagram, suggesting, "I say we let Mexico in too." He followed up by discussing this on Wednesday.
A really, really, really bad idea. We don’t need to import all of the narco gang culture instead of just some of it.

We can occupy Mexico for a 20 year fight, lose, and abandon all who helped us to cartel justice. We conquered Mexico once and couldn’t figure out an exit strategy.

No thank you. Canada is to fucking liberal and Mexico is too fucked up. Both are good trading partners, but we don't want 'em in our states.
#4
Wrong. We have enough corruption already without adding Mexico.

They don't know what they are talking about. The bad parts of Mexico are no worse than West Philly or South Side Chicago or SE DC. It's been my experience that the cartel run areas (unless contested) are the safest and least corrupt areas of MX. Usually better kept too. And police, I much rather deal with MX Cops than American Cops.

Conservative Mex American citizens should use American resources and ingenuity and fix that place instead of trying to break America. I never understood immigrants who come from messed up places that then want to fix perceived wrongs in America instead of the f’n country that was so bad it drove them or their parents out.

I thought the War of 1812 in which we came down there and burned the White House had settled all this nonsense, Do we have to burn that doggone White House again?
#8
Canuckistan Sniper, I thought it was the British Red Coats who burned the White House and other buildings, not the Canadians. Tony Blair apologized for it after 9/11.
#9
A Canadian invading force would have to call ahead to the Pentagon to arrange for their logistics support.

I'm not doing a Well Auhschually,
But I think it depends on what the definition of Canadian was at the time.
Kinda of like the Paul Revere legend, "The British are Coming!" wouldn't have been said, as The American Colonials, at that point of time, still considered themselves British.
[PJ] When it's all over and Los Angeles residents take stock of their losses, will they be able to build again? Will there be any insurance companies willing to write fire insurance policies in such a badly managed state as California after the Palisades fire?
Gavin Newsom became California's governor the year after a series of devastating wildfires in 2018, including the Camp Fire in Paradise that killed 85 people and destroyed 18,000 homes. Insurance companies say eight of the 10 top wildfire-insured losses have occurred since 2017. As a result, insurance companies have fled the state faster than illegal aliens have jumped over the border on Joe Biden's watch.
"Climate change" is the lazy excuse the Democrats have used to explain why there have been more fires and more damage from them. They claim that fires are more fiery these days. If that's true then why?
California has always suffered from Santa Ana winds, wildfires, and hot weather. Those things haven't changed. What has changed, however, is the state's management of resources and its response to fires. California is a state of 40 million people and the state has roughly the same water capacity as when Willam Mulholland oversaw the construction of the 233-mile-long L.A.
#2
Even if it is climate change, which I do not believe, it's the states job to mitigate the impact and in this respect the state has been negligent to say the least. Criminal negligence is more like it. Mandating electric cars and squandering a hundred billion dollars on high speed rail to nowhere ain't getting it. What good is more affordable housing when it's all gonna burn anyway and the owners can't get insurance?

As I understand it, CA tried to tell insurance companies how much they could charge customers and the insurance companies said FU and pulled out.

^ That happened. The water situation also happened. The non forrest management happened. The defending of fire dept happened. That's a lot of bad luck!

[BrennanCenter] Outdated laws give presidents far too much leeway to deploy military forces inside the United States. We’re working to reform those laws and establish new safeguards against abuse.
OVERVIEW
The domestic activities of the U.S. military are governed by a complex web of laws. The key pillars of this framework are the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, which have not been meaningfully updated since the 19th century. Designed for a dramatically different country than the 21st century United States, these laws give presidents broad authority to use military forces as a domestic police force, in violation of this country’s founding principles. State governors have even broader powers to deploy their own national guard forces.
Moreover, in some areas, the law is dangerously unclear. Even the vital question of whether the Constitution allows the federal government to declare martial law has never been conclusively answered by the courts. This uncertainty makes it easier for unscrupulous government actors to circumvent the few safeguards against abuse that do exist.
The risks of the current system were vividly illustrated in June 2020, when the Trump administration, relying on an unprecedented interpretation of a little-known statute, summoned thousands of national guardsmen into Washington, DC, to police racial justice protests — against the local government’s wishes and without following the procedures established by Congress.
The Brennan Center has brought these issues to light through its research. We also are working with allies to develop and promote reforms that will prevent future abuses while maintaining the president’s ability to deploy the military domestically in response to genuine emergencies.

Washington calling out the militia and leading it during the Whisky Rebellion.
Posse Comitatus Act was to removed post-Civil War troops from the southern states who where there to protect the rights of recently liberated slaves. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is still on the books.
#6
We need to attack and destroy Iran ,and we can't do that with the US president kneecapped by stupid laws.
Do to Iran what we did to Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Regime change followed by neutralizing the military as a force. Israel's neighborhood is a dangerous place and we must do our part to defend the middle east's only democracy and our ally.
#7
Alternatively, consider Title 32 as a mechanism to bypass the Posse Commitatus limitations. CA has extensively used Title 32 for the Active Duty Counter-Drug Task Force for over 30 years, and during the 92 riots the CNG was far more effective before being ordered to a Title 10 Status.
"Is Title 32 a federal status?
Guard members in Title 32 status fall under the command and control of their state or territory governor, but their duty is federally funded and regulated. Traditional Guard members who drill one weekend a month and attend 15 days of annual training during the year do so in a Title 32 status."
#8
Would it be an unlawful order to deploy troops within the US borders armed with the intent to harm or kill citizens? It seems to me the problem is really the unpatriotic and immoral idea that Americans soldiers would harm Americans because some leader told them to. If that is where we are then it is over. There is a “force” out there That wants us divided. We, and Trump, must work on bringing Americans together. Our destruction has been en writ since our founding. United we stand, Divided we fall.
