LA Protests Continue For a Sixth Straight Night...

As you can tell by the Google News aggregator link, the big story across the country are the continuing protests against ICE (and agst. immigration enforcement) happening in Los Angeles for a sixth straight night...who would've thought in 2025 that enforcing immigration law written in the 1952 Immigration & Nationality Act would become a revolutionary act?

This is but another reason to hate - yes, I said it, hate - the Democratic Party and the Left in general. Ever since their beginnings, they've been a part of bigotry, discrimination, lawlessness, appeasement and treachery and how anyone with a sane mind could pull the lever for the Democrat Party Demonrats will forever be a mystery to me.

LA anti-ICE protests reaches Day 2

At this point, I honestly don't care what Trump does w/regard to these "protesters" so long as its' within the bounds of the law.

DoJ Sues Texas Over In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens....

...and wins. Per Patriot Post, On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department finally did what every prior administration (including Trump 1.0) for the past three decades refused to do — enforced the federal immigration law that bans states from providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless they provide the same benefit to citizen-students from any state. 

That same day, Texas cried uncle, agreed with the government, settled the case, and entered into a consent decree.

TL/DR: In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Alien Reform & Immigrant Responsibility Act which prohibited states like Texas from giving in-state tuition benefits to those here in the country illegally. Until this week, seventeen states and D.C. had laws (in DC's case, a DC City Counsel ordinance that was later approved by Congress) allowing this. This not allows gave an unlawful benefit to illegals already here, it encouraged more illegal immigration and whenever parents of citizen/legal resident alien students tried to sue, the courts rebuffed them stating there was no private right of action in the statute (thus putting it on DoJ's shoulders to you know, actually enforce the law as written).

In the consent decree, Texas acknowledged that the law-in-question violated the Federal Supremacy Clause and were unconstitutional.....now, let us hope that either (a) DoJ goes after the other states and D.C. on this and.or (b) Congress gets off their schnides' and passes an amendments law putting this prohibition into statutory law.

Democrats line up to visit El Salvador -- seeking to bring back a foreign gangbanger: Democrats have finally found a cause they can rally around, and they are falling over themselves to make themselves part of it: According to Axios: Two members of House Democratic leadership are trying to send an official congressional delega...

Where's their humanity for Rachel Morin, Laken Riley and all the other Americans who've been killed at the hands of illegal aliens, huh? Bet you that if these illegals were coming to vote & support Republicans they'd build that southern wall faster than anything. Hypocrites.

It Could Save Your Life...

(Patriot Post, 14 April 2025)

These two things are true: (1) I have friends who are transgender and (2) women & girls' sports should be protected from trans athletes invading their spaces. 

This isn't "bigotry" but simple biological science; you can take all the cross-sex hormones available, puberty blockers available, feminizing drugs available....yet because a trans woman was born with XY chromosomes, their body will still have elements of male physiology inside of them - larger bone structure, larger and more powerful muscles, larger and more plentiful lungs....you get the idea. Those are hardwired into our bodies, those of us with XY chromosomes and to have someone who is trans compete against cis-gender women/girls is simply not fair.

Yes, this will likely upset a lot of people (including a few friends of mine) but I will not get along to go along. People who know me know that I treat everyone - everyone! - with the respect and dignity they are due as human beings because we are all created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27)

That part is inviolable - we can argue about it, disagree over this and that, but I will always treat others with respect and dignity as they are due. It does not mean I have to go along with something that twists basic biological science. With very rare exception (intersex conditions and so forth) we humans are born either XY (male) or XX (female) with all the advantages, disadvantages, problems and benefits to go with each. 

We should strive to treat others with respect and dignity, yet we should also be affable enough to know when it simply time to "agree to disagree".
