…do without U.S. aid dollars? The very thought!
In all fairness, it should be said that the “former Kenyan president” has more money than Bill Gates, earned quite honestly, promise.
Nevertheless, his point is valid; I recall someone saying something quite similar about, oh, twenty years ago.
Speaking as one who was once and “admitted alien” myself, let me say that until I became a U.S. citizen I was very aware that I was a guest in this country, and you’d better believe that I was on my very best behavior.
“What’s this ‘admitted alien’ thing, Kim?”
Glad you asked. Here’s POTUS on the topic:
The new executive order from President Trump specifies that the United States “must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”
You know what? Even though there’s a First Amendment covering this stuff, I never thought it applied to me as a non-citizen. Ditto the Second, by the way: only after the swearing-in ceremony did I visit a local Merchant Of Death (only to be confronted by the hated Illinois Firearm Owner’s Card — FOID — restriction, which meant I had to wait until the People’s Revolutionary Council had okayed me to own a gun aaaaargh).
Anyway, I was always conscious that as a non-citizen, I was in essence a guest in this lovely country — a guest, by the way, who was already paying an obscene amount of taxes despite having no citizen’s rights, but I just considered it a fair payment in return for being able to live here.
And as a guest, I had to mind my Ps and Qs, because if I didn’t, there was always a chance (I feared) that America would decide that I wasn’t worth the trouble, and kick my ass back across the Atlantic.
Which is what POTUS apparently plans to do, an action which I support wholeheartedly. If these foreigners can’t behave themselves, send them back to Shitholia without hesitation.
As reported to me on WhatsApp:
Conversation in Doc Russia’s kitchen:
Doc’s teenage daughter: ”so, my friend told me that this kid that sat next to me in homeroom last semester has a huge crush on me”
Wife: “oh, do you like him?”
Daughter: “NO! He’s a total creeper!”
Wife: “well, I’m sorry that the first guy to have a crush on you is a creeper”
Daughter: “oh, he’s not the first boy to have a crush on me, so it’s fine”
Wife: “well, don’t worry; he won’t be the last creeper in your life”
Daughter: “oh, I’m sure.”
Wife: “can you take the garbage out”
Daughter: “Sure!” [exits stage left]
Doc: …
Wife: “are you thinking about murder?”
Doc: …
Wife: “you are, aren’t you?”
Doc: “…yes.”
We’ve all been there.
The hits just keep on coming:
President Trump will sign an executive order to reinstate thousands of troops kicked out of the military by Joe Biden for refusing the Covid vaccine.
Trump vowed to reinstate the troops “unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the Covid vaccine mandate” during his inauguration speech last week.
Approximately 8,000 troops were discharged because of Biden’s Covid vaccine mandate. Some troops sued over the mandate and faced backlash.
The troops will be reinstated with full back pay and benefits.
Welcome back, boys and girls.
From somewhere on BritTV comes Irish actress Karen Hassan (of the Belfast Hassans, of course), and she’s rather lovely.
I think it’s those green Irish eyes…
Okay, that’s just a silly play on the title of an essay some guy once wrote, but this development is interesting:
Scientists have warned that Africa is breaking apart faster than previously thought.
A 35-mile-long fissure in Ethiopia’s desert emerged in 2005 but has since been widening at a rate of half an inch per year.
Researchers previously believed the split would take tens of millions of years, but Ken Macdonald, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, told DailyMail.com that it would likely happen within one to five million years.
The separation would also create a new ocean and continent on Earth.
No doubt, someone will soon be ascribing this to Global Warming Climate Cooling Change©, because reasons.
