I DON’T THINK THE CANADA AND MEXICO EXAMPLES HELP THEIR CASE HERE, EITHER:
in fairness the last PhD we elected was a KKK-supported racist, shoved us into WW1, hailed the Russia revolution, was a 2nd term drooling vegetable, and inspired Mussolini's Italian Fascist Party, so maybe you can understand our reluctance to go there again https://t.co/wqjsjsZIZl

NOT ENOUGH GRAFT IN THE FUTURE I WAS PROMISED, SO THEY GAVE US THIS ONE INSTEAD:
I used to think “we sacrificed the stars for this” was hyperbolic.
I’ve since come to realize it’s understated.
We haven’t just sacrificed the stars we’ve sacrificed everything.

WELL, IN FACT THE POWERS THAT BE BROUGHT THEM HERE TO STEAL, AND ARRANGED THINGS SO AS TO MAKE IT EASY: Somalis gonna Somali. They’re a deeply tribal people, but all the people who say they didn’t adapt to America are wrong. Governments left the vault doors wide open and practically begged them to steal. Of course they did. “When individual families from tribal societies come to Western countries, they have little choice but to adopt Western stacking mechanisms — to accept the rule of law and the authority of independent political jurisdictions. Plenty of individual Somalis have done just that. But when they come en masse, as the Somali immigrants of Minnesota did, they may try to keep their tribal structures at least partly intact. In November, the independent newspaper County Highway ran an extraordinary piece about the Somali fraud in Minnesota explaining how easily the community had reestablished itself along clan lines. ‘The community is the result not of a voluntary movement of ambitious people seeking a new life in America, but of the US-government’s mass resettlement of entire families at once.'”
#JOURNALISM:
Notice how CBS makes it sound like they investigated ‘fraud in Minnesota’ and then pull the classic bait-and-switch: they didn’t actually investigate anything and instead take as given third-hand say so from the people most invested in hiding it. https://t.co/3EA7wzZBZK

I read their "article," so you don't have to. They checked paperwork from state officials who are in on the fraud, and they found no fraud. These "reporters" didn't go into any daycare to see them full of kids. https://t.co/NZ4J5dzjuH

CDR SALAMANDER: Understanding Japan’s Military Expansion.
While Beijing may not be able to get over WWII, almost everyone else is. As the WWII generation is almost gone, so are their ghosts and phobias. In their place, natural and enduring concerns are rising to the surface and exerting themselves.
In the Western Pacific, the rise of China, a society of representative government taking root, nationalism, reliance of the free flow of goods at market prices, and geography—all are shaping modern relationships.
The last few decades’ increasingly positive relationship between Japan and Taiwan is just one manifestation of this growing movement.
Taiwan’s memory of its colonial rule by Japan is, well…complicated…more positive than the Korean-Japanese history. A friend of mine recently moved to Japan. He and his Japanese girlfriend vacationed in Taiwan recently. The one thing he noticed was that without fail, if they were trying to talk to someone who could not speak English, his girlfriend would switch to Japanese and, sure enough, they were off and running. To a person, everyone was happy to meet an American and a Japanese.
I don’t think this is just one or many anecdotal reports.
As both nations face the same primary enemy, that should drive the relationship closer.
Read the whole thing.

WHAT ABOUT A “DAYCARE” THAT HAS NO KIDS?
But wait, the clown show continues:
Politico’s legal affairs reporter all buts calls for Somalis to shoot and murder anyone who knocks on the doors of their businesses. This clown clearly has no idea what stand-you-ground laws are or what states they apply to (hint: Minnesota is a duty-to-retreat state, not a… https://t.co/pQjF96O5s2

WHEN NARRATIVES DIE: Experts say CBD is ineffective for pain management.
I’M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A REFLECTION ON U.S. ADULTS, OR ON THE STANDARDS: 75% of US adults may meet criteria for obesity under new definition, study finds.
I’m perhaps a trifle suspicious that just as lucrative new obesity drugs are appearing, the definition of obesity is being broadened to include the vast majority of the populace.
A COUP POWERED BY ILLEGAL/SHADY IMMIGRATION:
The Somalis and many other groups were imported, given government handouts and allowed to do fraud without prosecution in order to ensure that a Democrat would win the election in that district. https://t.co/WqJozR1w9A

THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE: Research Suggests People Who Work From Home Are Having More Babies. More opportunities to conceive them, more time to raise them.
COVERUP COMING A BIT LATE:
Stunning – it appears they have taken down the license look-up website so Minnesotans can’t see who the Medicaid service providers are or what licensing violations they may have. @Tim_Walz @ DHS should restore this immediately. https://t.co/hT1Yhj88vu

Within the next 72 hours, expect a Jussie Smollett-style fake bomb threat against a Somali “learning center” that Democrats will try to blame on MAGA right-wingers on X.
They desperately want to distract in any way they can from the fraud.

THE SCAMS WERE A FEATURE, NOT A BUG:
Factually, the person in charge of vetting Kamala's vice-president pick was…. Eric Holder. [look it up]
President Obama's former U.S. Attorney General was in charge of reviewing all of the research on Governor Walz.
Now, think about his selection again carefully. https://t.co/bikwKaG36N

DHS is on the ground in Minneapolis, going DOOR TO DOOR at suspected fraud sites.
