    This is where my two problems lie. I know that my interpretation of the Founders' vision for America is different from your, according to our exchanges in other threads, anyway, but I'd like to toss my two cents into the pile for whatever it's worth. My first problem is that I don't believe a foreign government should be taking it upon itself to dictate the lives of others. I mean, we as libertarians don't want the government forcibly moving us, temporary or permanently, so why be okay with them doing it to others? The United States shouldn't be sticking its nose into that mess at all, as far as I'm concerned, but relocating people to foreign lands (and why are we going to hoist this problem onto other people? We shouldn't be forcing other governments or their citizens to put up with this) isn't something we have the power to do. I know, I know, Trump makes his money in real estate and development, but this still isn't something he should have the power to do, and I say that as someone who voted for Trump and like a lot of what he's done since taking office. The second thing I have a problem with is that 'temporary' usually becomes 'permanent' when it comes to government things. Like all those bases that were just going to be temporary and all we've done since WWII is expand them. A lot of temporary policies, structures, or other decisions quickly fall into the quagmire of permanency, often with the citizens of other countries being left to deal with what we've dropped into their laps. I think this is the reason Trump doesn't suggest they temporarily relocate to America: they very quickly could become a longterm problem of ours. That being said, I'm hopeful that this is just posturing on Trump's part, kind of like the tariffs seem to be. That's not to say he doesn't have any teeth behind what he says, but I think Trump is good at making big plans just to bring people to the negotiating table. If that's all this is, I'm a little more optimistic. If not, I think we could have a major problem.

    I'm sure glad to see USAID go, because stuff is coming out that makes the Red Pill more potent. I'm not fooling myself into thinking this agency was made a scapegoat before three new replacements were created to carry on what it does. The CIA is a giant Whack-A-Mole machine. I love watching the heads of Biden loyalists roll. But are their seats being thrown out with them? Or are those seats being filled with Trump loyalists while they're still warm? One of these things is a cut, the other is just a changing of the guard. Which other agencies besides USAID are getting the axe? I, for one, am still waiting for an answer to that question.

    This exactly. If I could give more reputation, I would. Trump is bad on monetary policy, period. This is likely because he comes from the world of business, not politics, and he's used to strong-arming his way to victory. He lives in a world where you can silence your critics and enemies through favors or by being tough as nails and stubborn. These things have worked out for him in the past, and I certainly have a disdain for career politicians who are making huge decisions in areas such as tech or healthcare when they themselves know almost nothing about these things. I suppose it's like when ballistic knives were banned. They knew nothing about such knives, but all it took was a cop saying they could potentially get through a bullet-proof vest and Congress was ready to legislate them away. Congress is good at looking at snippets of information about issues they don't understand and then writing terrible policy based on those snippets, so I'm not defending them in any way. It's just that Trump has the opposite problem: he's not enough of a politician to understand how his power really works or how to use it and tries to apply to rules of business to his new job.

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jan/31/trans-vegan-terror-cult-tied-recent-murder-border-/ This is just one article. Falling down the rabbit hole on this one is fun. They're actually believed to be connected to around eight deaths now. The entire thing started when 'Ziz' blamed transphobia for not being allowed into a rationalist group so he started his own, recruited a bunch of techie trans and other gender-specials, and now they're basically the Transon Family.

    No? Seems to me that depends on whether or not you're a precious metals "custodian" which has been selling people paper saying they own gold and/or silver which doesn't exist. An entity such as that could well suffer a shortage even if the streets are paved with the stuff.

    Oh, just a wee bit. It was a 43 year old jet which probably probably got most of its maintenance in Mexico, and clearly suffered an explosion and fire on board while still in the air. What motive do you see for either drug dealers or Shriners to put a bomb on it? All it seems to have accomplished is to draw attention away from the fact that an Army helo (which can be used as a drone) flew straight up the nose of a commercial flight carrying five dozen innocents, and nobody can find 2/3rds of its crew. Do the Shriners or the Mexicans owe the U.S. Army for something?

    You're the one who appears either to have not noticed, or to think conservatism means conserving Democrat crap. It is existential, so it can't be eradicated? Your attitude is why we can't have nice things. You were on a real roll with the flagrant rules violations this morning, toxic bot. When you're not insulting jmdrake, unknown and others, you're trying to put your nonsense in my mouth. Trump made noises about ridding us of ED, but this is just one of the ways his actions have consolidated its power instead. I honestly don't care how much you wag your tail because this looks like a bone to you, dawg. It's still going to turn every school in the country into a propaganda factory, whether during Trump's term or the next one. Why do you hate shrinking government? You scream for it when Democrats are in charge, and anyone with three working brain cells knows it won't happen, but when some random guy who self-identifies with an R is in the White House, you worship every brick of every federal building. You, Toxibot, are a cultist. Republicans. Preserving, protecting and conserving Democrat crap since 1861.

    You're a pair of idiots. This paves a highway for the E.D. straight into the heart of the business of every private school in this nation. Conservatism says get "Federal formula funds" back into the hands of the parents who paid those taxes and leave them alone. But you partisans will wag your tails over anything remotely resembling a bone, especially right after a major psyop. No wonder the right foot did at least as much as the left foot to frog-march us into tyranny. It's true. If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. Even this crap. I expect that of the shill, but one of you has been around here long enough to know better.

    There are two things to take into consideration: 1. The way I read this EO is that it applies to more than illegals. It sounds like green card holders and visa holders can be deported, too. 2. The rights outlined in the Bill of Rights apply to all people, regardless of nationality. They are natural rights, not privileges. They were put there, in the Constitution, not to say that these rights were for American citizens but that they were given by God to all people and our government was simply being the first to acknowledge them as inviolate. As such, even illegals have the right to freedom of speech.

    The Israelis are our true masters. I don’t know exactly how we got here, though. Religious fervor turned policy and exploited by Israel? Our one fledgling but increasingly interventionist foreign policy being in desperate need of allies in the Middle East? I don’t know, but for whatever reason the Jews are untouchable by our government’s measure. I didn’t expect Trump to be any different, but this is an extreme infringement of the First Amendment.

    Republicans tell lies about what Democrats say and Democrats tell lies about what Republicans say, but they both tell lies about what Ron Paul says. That's why we can't tell them apart even with a program. They should be out celebrating while they can, before their god gets sworn in and can get back to screwing us all. Instead that one is seeking out people with principles to spew insults at. Truly a joyless soul.

    No libertarians are disagreeing with Ron Paul. Ron Paul thinks Trump is a double talking, double dealing hypocrite who flip flops more than a fish out of water, and his supporters are a bunch of celebrity worshipping dilletants who have no principles whatsoever and go with the herd even if the herd is stampeding over a cliff. As usual, all libertarians are doing is pointing out a factual fact. You're the one channeling liberals by covering your ears and hollering, "Reeeeee!! I know YOU are but what are we? REEEEE!"

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
