Trump Says He Told Officials to ‘Lighten Up’ on Immigration Crackdown
This isn’t the first time that Trump has said this. Last July, Trump floated a de facto amnesty for hotel, restaurant and farmworkers. The Trump administration acted on it too by making it easier to import guest workers. CBS News: “Mr. Trump said he told…
The UK’s Own Minneapolis-Style Welfare Exploitation Problem

The Absurd Farce of Machine Guns, Maduro, and the Endless War on Drugs

We’re Always Told That Everyone in the Empire-Targeted Nation Hates Their Government
The regime change supporter’s favorite trick is to pretend the people in the targeted country are an ideological monolith.
