Not really politcal but I talked to the curator of a steamboat museum recently and there's essentially no good wood left, as we've used all the ancient trees after the 1900s. Here's a neat video about it.
People who support mass immigration will often look at satellite photos of the US and point out all the "empty" land we have. What those retards don't understand is that all that land is basically being used at max capacity for farming, grazing, or timber regrowth. We are actually slowly killing our soil's heath by overusing fertilizers and other chemicals to maintain current production.

Just something to remember as we watch these obese illegals riot over not being able to leech off us.
 
my prediction: this time, nothing is not going to happen.

specifically what is going to happen is arson as an anti-colonialist resistance action. which will be caught on video and everyone will see it. which will lead to lynching. which will lead to newsom declaring martial law which will lead to direct conflict between the head of the fifth largest economy in the world which contains very important ports, and POTUS.

you heard it here first
 
why would you want one with an education if they were just around to pick cotton? get an indentured Irishman for skilled work
Slaves were used for a lot of semi-skilled and skilled labor. running cotton-gins, carpentry, blacksmithing, cooking, masonry, butlers and babysitting etc. Plantations were basically small self sufficient towns and often way out in the country from other population concentrations.

the idea is that it's cheaper to pay to house and feed them than it is to pay a white man to do the same job (and with plantation life being what it was, the plantation owner would likely still be paying to feed and house the white man).

whites were hired as overseers and guards etc.

Indentured servitude was basically made illegal in 1833 when debt imprisonment was made illegal. which is what indentured servants are. debtors paying their debt through labor.
 
A question for constitutional scholars.

While I like Trump sending in the feds.

How is Trump doing all this without invoking the 1803 insurrection act or posse commitatus?
vp vance spelled out "they're from another nation, they wave the flag of another nation,they're fighting our law enforcement" pretty good
 
Lawyers guild lime green hats spotted in agenda free tv's stream of downtown LA at the detention center protest.
Didn't someone say before to keep an eye out for this as a potential escalation flag?
I mentioned them, and someone else did as well as an escalation flag.

If the NLG's Legal Observers are on the ground, this is an organized domestic terrorism op by the same people that brought us The Weathermen and the Days of Rage (the campaign of pipe bombs in the 70s meant to usher in "real communism" ™️). They will be there to organize the idiots into an effective mob, to intimidate the police into not responding, and generally trying to stir up shit. This is why there are mysterious palletes of bricks that just happened to have been dumped off someplace just outside of view for the rioters to just happen to find and just happen to use against the cops.

If they have snipers on the roofs, those hats probably make for a wonderful target in the sea of black bloc.

Because it's in support of the enforcement of federal laws. Insurrection Act would require Newsom to tell the Guard to not follow orders, or for the LAPD to start arresting the fed boys.

He's not using the military, he's federalizing the national guard. The national guard is allowed to engage in law enforcement action on American soil.

Edit: seems there is actual talk of using the military and not just the national guard,.

Simply say it's an invasion from another country. He would not be wrong with this reasoning and the rioters don't help themselves by waving the Mexican flag all the time. You literally have foreign nationals fighting American forces.

10 USC §252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority​


Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

this is the law invoked when Eisenhower and JKF used the guard to enforce desegregation. its a exception to the PCA (Which has holes in it big enough to drive a mack truck through.)
