Spain has become the Western world's economic-growth leader -- with the lowest deficits in Europe to boot -- by using the same toolkit Ottawa has before it (immigration plus investment in big capital projects), but doing it right. We should learn from them

Opinion: Spain has become an economic leader by using Ottawa’s toolkit the right way
The once-flagging Spanish economy has been turbocharged by big infrastructure investments, the green-energy transition and immigration

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”
migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

pictures of blonde 70s guy wearing a horizontally striped black-and-white classic "prisoner" shirt, in the first one he's hitting a jay, in the second he's looking at his friend (who's got a hand on his shoulder and is faced away from pov, apparently talking to him earnestly) psycotically next to text reading: This Thanksgiving remember the cranberry sauce, but *forget* the Marijuana. Terry was convinced to take a “toke” of a joint with his friend “just to relax”. Immediately after, Terry killed his friend who had given him the marijuana in a murderous craze. Not so safe, is it?

Today 15 brave smallholder Kenyan farmers who appealed a Seed Act which criminalised them for saving,sharing&selling their own seeds won their case in the High Court.
Glad that my PhD findings were submitted in this case and assisted in the win.Here's a video of it!
