A Bit of Wisdom from Wyatt Earp

Los Angeles, CA...Wyatt Earp March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929. American lawman and gambler in the American West, including Dodge City, Deadwood, Tombstone & Alaska.


"The most important lesson I learned...was that the winner of a gunplay usually was the one who took his time. The second was that, if I hoped to live on the frontier, I would shun flashy trick-shooting--grandstand play--as I would poison...In all my life as a frontier peace officer, I did not know a really proficient gunfighter who had anything but contempt for the gun-fanner, or the man who literally shot from the hip."

“Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You must learn to be slow in a hurry.”

“Are you going to do something or just stand there and bleed?”

“The less you bet, the more you lose when you win.”

“Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.”

    Liberal dems are so stupid and mislead yet again. The dumpacraps and media have you wrapped around their little fingers, the most ignorant and easiest manipulated imbeciles on the planet.

    Good news for the real Americans who want law and order and our Constitution. "The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to block a Republican-backed Texas law allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden's administration."
    "The Texas law made illegal entry or re-entry into Texas a state crime, with penalties ranging from 180 days in jail to 20 years in prison. Under it, Texas magistrate judges will be required to order migrants to return to Mexico, with up to 20-year sentences for those who refuse to comply."

    Governor Greg Abbott would make a great President too. But let's all applaud Joe Biden for being Number ONE!!! Worst President in Modern History, a man who can remember his name and who the POTUS is IF it's written down on cheat cards!!!

      An illegal immigrant has been charged for stabbing two people at a laundromat in O'Fallon, Missouri. The foreign national allegedly chased after a victim running away and then stabbed another who tried to intervene on Tuesday.

      Jose Barrera, an illegal immigrant who came through Eagle Pass, Texas, is being held $500,000 bond for the charges of two counts of first-degree assault as well as armed criminal action, according to Fox 2.

        Last week, the second-in-command of violent Colombian street gang Los Santanás was apprehended in New Braunfels, Texas, a suburb of San Antonio, by Homeland Security agents working with state and local authorities. He was subsequently handed over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

        Aderbis Pirela, 29, was on INTERPOL's top 10 most wanted list and has warrants out for his arrest in Colombia in connection with at least four murders, as well as drug trafficking and extortion. He had been in the United States since January after being allowed in by claiming political asylum.


        According to NBC15, Pirela managed to flee Colombia last year before making his way through Central America up to the Mexico-US border. Upon being granted permission to enter, he and his fellow gang members began conducting their business out of a migrant shelter.

        On January 27, authorities were made aware of his actions and began searching for him.

        As Fox News reports, police and the mayor of Bogotá are hoping national law enforcement will ensure he ends up in prison and is rendered unable to continue carrying out his crimes while behind bars.


        "This just goes to the heart of one of the main issues," former head of customs and border protection Mark Morgan said of Pirela's case during an interview with The National Desk. "The reality is every time Secretary Mayorkas or anybody from this administration tells the American people that we properly vet everyone before we release them is just a lie."

        "They're provided a false sense of security that doesn't exist," he added. "The reality is there are many countries that illegal aliens are coming into our country from that we have zero diplomatic relationships with and we're getting nothing with respect to their criminal history."

        He went on to suggest that "this is happening every single day because this administration reenacted and reinstituted catch and release."

          An illegal immigrant who was previously deported in 2009 and admitted to strangling her newborn son in 2013 was arrested by immigration authorities in New York last week.

          Maria Oliva Guaman, 33, was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) New York City after being released from the New York State Department of Corrections.

          According to news reports at the time, Guaman admitted to the strangulation and putting her newborn son in the dumpster. The baby's remains were found the day after the disposal at the recycling plant.

            In February, a trans woman was shot multiple times outside a nightclub in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood by a man who allegedly shouted "bad gay" before pulling the trigger. The suspect, an illegal immigrant with ties to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, was taken into custody, but no charges were filed regearding the shooting and he was released. The victim is in critical condition.

            Law enforcement issued a press release claiming that the suspect had, in fact, been charged in connection with the shooting, however after questions were raised by a local outlet, that information was retracted. He was arrested and charged with unrelated crimes both before and after the incident in question, though he was allowed to walk free both times.

              Now Denver sees why Texas is sharing America's problem created by President Bi-Dumb and his failing of America.

              In December 2023, the city of Denver agreed to a $100,000 contract to feed incoming migrants with Colorado Hospitality Services.

              After a year, that contract was increased to $475,000 in January 2024. Then, the city had to pay another $450,000 in February 2024.

              Now, Denver City Council is looking at another $500,000 to pay for food costs through June, raising the total to $1.4 million.

              The city is facing the same issue with the other food provider for migrants that was contracted. Michaels of Denver Catering, Inc., started out with a $500,000 contract to feed the incoming migrants in May 2023. That increased to $1 million in October. Now, the city will review another $350,000 that will cover the costs through June.

              "Due to the sustained high volume of newcomers, the current purchase order is exhausted and we are seeking to increase it again," the city stated in a memo to the council explaining the reason for skyrocketing costs.

              Denver has continued to receive an influx of migrants, with nearly 40,000 arriving in the city over the past year due to its status as a sanctuary city, and the cost is continuing to grow.

              Since the beginning of the migrant crisis, the city has served 39,605 migrants and asylum-seekers. Still, it faces a growing deficit as Denver continues to receive newcomers and offers food, shelter, and other services.

              The city continues to shelter 1,150 individuals while phasing out some services this week by closing one of five hotel shelters currently in use.

              Denver recently received a $3.5 million reimbursement from the state of Colorado and a $1.6 million advancement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, with $12.2 million in potential federal reimbursements currently pending, according to a Mar. 18, 2024 update from the city.

              Denver currently faces a nearly $60 million budget deficit, and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has said for the city to maintain current services that are provided for migrants, it would cost taxpayers well over $100 million over the next year, as previously reported by The Center Square.

              While the continued influx of migrants come at a cost of more than $61 million, resources for feeding those in the shelters are running low, and the city is looking to amend two contracts at the city council meeting on March 20.

              The city of Denver did not reply to email seeking commen

                  Alfredo Morocho, 37, who was also hit with a bail jumping charge for skipping out on the 2018 child molestation case, is finally being held on Rikers Island without bail, according to officials and court.

          The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has called allegations that a Haitian migrant raped a disabled 15-year-old girl “heinous.”

          Cory Alvarez, the 26-year-old Haitian national charged with raping the teen at a Massachusetts hotel that was housing migrants last week, entered the US last summer via President Biden’s controversial CHNV parole program. He was flown into New York City directly from Haiti.

        A migrant from El Salvador who is charged with molesting children as young as 6 was deported twice — then arrested and released back into the community last year despite being in the country illegally, according to authorities.

        US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to The Post Monday that Alfaro-Lopez was removed from the US in 2015 and again in 2020.

        According to ICE, Alfaro-Lopez’s first brush with border agents was on March 23, 2015, when US Border Patrol (USBP) arrested him near Lake Charles, La. for having unlawfully entered the US.

          They are some of the fugitive foreign felons, child predators and gang members arrested just in the past week trying to enter the United States undetected. And their numbers are on the rise.

          U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows the number of criminal non-citizen encounters has risen 340% in the past three years, to a high of 32,194 in fiscal year 2023. Since Oct. 1, another 11,958 have been caught rushing the border between ports of entry or trying to blend in at busy ports, hoping their past won’t show up in CBP computers.

THE DEMENTIA IN CHIEF BIGGEST MILITARY CLUSTER PHUCK IN OUR HISTORY
Posted on: 2024-03-19 14:07:53   By: Anonymous
 

The top two U.S. generals who oversaw the evacuation of Afghanistan as it fell to the Taliban in August 2021 blamed the Biden administration for the chaotic departure, telling lawmakers Tuesday that it inadequately planned for the evacuation and did not order it in time.

The rare testimony by the two retired generals publicly exposed for the first time the strain and differences the military leaders had with the Biden administration in the final days of the war. Two of those key differences included that the military had advised that the U.S. keep at least 2,500 service members in Afghanistan to maintain stability and a concern that the State Department was not moving fast enough to get an evacuation started.

The remarks contrasted with an internal White House review of the administration’s decisions found that President Joe Biden’s decisions had been “severely constrained” by previous withdrawal agreements negotiated by former President Donald Trump and blamed the military, saying top commanders said they had enough resources to handle the evacuation.

Thirteen U.S. service members were killed by a suicide bomber at the Kabul airport's Abbey Gate in the final days of the war, as the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

Thousands of panicked Afghans and U.S. citizens desperately tried to get on U.S. military flights that were airlifting people out. In the end the military was able to rescue more than 130,000 civilians before the final U.S. military aircraft departed.

That chaos was the end result of the State Department failing to call for an evacuation of U.S. personnel until it was too late, both former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and U.S. Central Command retired Gen. Frank McKenzie told the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

“On 14 August the non-combatant evacuation operation decision was made by the Department of State and the U.S. military alerted, marshalled, mobilized and rapidly deployed faster than any military in the world could ever do,” Milley said.

But the State Department's decision came too late, Milley said.

“The fundamental mistake, the fundamental flaw was the timing of the State Department,” Milley said. “That was too slow and too late.”

Evacuation orders must come from the State Department, but in the weeks and months before Kabul fell to the Taliban, the Pentagon was pressing the State Department for evacuation plans, and was concerned that State was not ready, McKenzie said.

“We had forces in the region as early as 9 July, but we could do nothing," McKenzie said.

“I believe the events of mid and late August 2021 were the direct result of delaying the initiation of the (evacuation) for several months, in fact until we were in extremis and the Taliban had overrun the country," McKenzie said.

Milley was the nation's top-ranking military officer at the time, and had urged President Joe Biden to keep a residual force of 2,500 forces there to give Afghanistan's special forces enough back-up to keep the Taliban at bay and allow the U.S. military to hold on to Bagram Air Base, which could have provided the military additional options to respond to Taliban attacks.

Biden did not approve the larger residual force, opting to keep a smaller force of 650 that would be limited to securing the U.S. embassy. That smaller force was not adequate to keeping Bagram, which was quickly taken over by the Taliban.

The Taliban have controlled Afghanistan since the U.S. departure, resulting in many dramatic changes for the population, including the near-total loss of rights for women and girls.

The White House found last year that the chaotic withdrawal occurred because President Joe Biden was “constrained” by previous agreements made by President Donald Trump to withdraw forces.

That 2023 internal review further appeared to shift any blame in the Aug. 26, 2021, suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport, saying it was the U.S. military that made one possibly key decision.

“To manage the potential threat of a terrorist attack, the President repeatedly asked whether the military required additional support to carry out their mission at HKIA,” the 2023 report said, adding, “Senior military officials confirmed that they had sufficient resources and authorities to mitigate threats.”

A message left with the State Department was not immediately returned on Tuesday.

In case you didn’t know we live under rule of Constitutional Republic. Having a demented president rather than the latter is a disgrace and an embarrassment for true Americans. Jokes over. I wouldn’t piss on a democrat if they were on fire.

              Calling Trump, Orange, racist? No, it's a reflection of his grooming. Just like his squirrel nest hair.
              The fact that Donald Trump colors his skin means his giant ego tells him that this look is attractive.
              People that are different skin colors aren't looked at as different unless it's based on race. Racism.
              Trump's skin color makes him a subject of ridicule because he's an idiot.
              I will say, at least his coloring doesn't run down his face when he's sweating(like Rudy).

              Will be shocked that 70+million Americans voted for the idiot Trump.
