This is great news. Now every bad government and group overseas knows that all they have to do in order to free their people from American custody is kidnap an American.
We negotiate with terrorists.
Tajikistans dictator, cartel, president Emomali Rahmon with his tajik terrorist group from Afghanistan attacked Kyrgyzstan Republic 🇰🇬
We negotiate with terrorists and we also leave soldiers behind to die alone !
50 illegal aliens showing up
"unannounced" to one of the richest
places in America is a "humanitarian
crisis" imagine how much of a crisis it is
when 7,000+ illegals descend on
America's poorest towns along the
Southern Border every single day.
I can't believe the Biden administration left him there this long.

“On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”
– William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”
– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789
“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
-Patrick Henry, Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution
“[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788
The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government offic-ers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self defense. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
Supreme Court of The United States of America, 2022
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, January 30, 1787
There is no right to abortion in the constitution. There is, however, a right to keep and bear Arms that shall not be infringed and freedom of speech. yet the Obiden Fascist regime want to take those rights from you. enough is enough.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed!
"When Government takes away citizens right to bear Arms, it becomes the citizens Duty to take away government rights to Govern."
You are not a subservient slave to the Government, Ronald Reagan signed into law a Ban on Automatic Weapons, You shouldn't be scared of your Government, but you are. Why?
"Same to Kamala like I told Barack, if-if-f I read something where there is a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle. I'll uh i'lluhi'lli'lli'lluhi'lli'lli'lluhi'll develop some disease and say I have to resign, uhm."

What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
– James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
The demoncrats are attempting to start WW3, we must show the demoncrats and rinos with resolve, Globally, that we are not that Gullible. Give these Globalists a resounding global 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
The demoncrats seeded the sows of doubt and disbelief in the 2016 election when they accused Trump of colluding with Russia.
Demoncrats and rinos are just failed abortions. Let's finish the job for the health and safety of our women err i mean country.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
“Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future Security.”
—The U. S. Declaration of Independence, 1776.
"There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet an enemy."
-George Washington, 1st President of The United States of America.
Letter to Elbridge Gerry | Saturday, January 29, 1780
“Always remember that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics – that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe.”
James Madison, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1809
