Ron, Why are you repeating what was just stated? "They" became Criminals the moment the Border was crossed illegally.

Well Ron, Wealth, as with all things, is a matter of perspective and relative. One can drag around a sack of gold while carrying firepower and several weeks supply of ammo. Difficult to eat and drink those things and the gold deplinnishes in accordance to the supply of foods stuffs. Or one could just shoot and take. Knowing how to live off the land allows one to be dependent on no one. Dry beans are always more valuable than gold, and more plentiful to harvest. Nature provides far better fortifications than man could build and protect. Many still remember how to make Black Power. I've read months of talk of organizing this and gathering that, us against them, who's at fault and why, but in truth, either We, as a Nation and a World will survive, or we will not. My suggestion is to continue speaking rationally with rational people who have opposing views, stop futile arguing with zealots whose minds will never change, work with all efforts focused on goals with good potentials of success and abandon all others as a wasteful expenditure of energy. Its amazing how much this frees the time to find enjoyment in the Day!

This is insane... criminal conduct is now being rewarded with taxpayer funds... more COMMUNIST redistribution of wealth.
Hello TPO ers. "nice guys finish last ... Leo Durocher" ... look it up.
The $450,000/per person was never meant to be ... its a Trojan Horse. The sub text ... the Communist's (the Left) real agenda is to establish that we are guilty. If/when they can achieve that, negotiating the $$ amount of penalty would be easy.
A few things ... let's stop calling the Communists by the "nice" word Socialists. Another Trojan Horse ... they mean to achieve their Communism goal with small incremental steps ... hoping we won't notice.
We need to put the monkey on the backs of our Senators and Congressmen.
Chattering among ourselves ... causing chaos is precisely what the Communists want.
........
And another Communist tactic is to "shame" us. I'm old enough to remember what the Communists did to Sen. Joseph McCarthy. He called out the fact that the military (and, I believe Hollywood) was corrupted with Communists and a Communist government person (Senator??) spoke "have you no shame, sir". Senator Joseph McCarthy was a hero!!! But he died in "shame".
............
Fast foward ... Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to destroy Dr. Josph Mercola by trying to get Amazon to not publish his books ... same attempted slander against Dr. Frank Shallenberger. Their crime?? They had the "audacity" to speak out against the deadly mRNA gene therapy (which btw, can change our DNA!).
............
More? My engineer colleague labels those of us who are/were wise enough to not take the mRNA therapy (mislabelled as "vaccine") "refuseniks". The shame game again.
...........
Finally, let's look at Manchurian Candidate Joe Bidan with his unconstitutional "vaccine" mandate. He needs to meet a firing squad!!!
Well Lopez, If what you say are the remaining facts then we only have but two choices available, One, We can take the Reverend Jimmy Jones Party Suicide Way, and just leave it to the Progressive Socialist Invaders, or We can try New Innovative Ways to defeat them. We have to accept the responsibility for where we are by our own inactions that brought us to this point. Just today the News showed a Black Man hitting a woman with his fist while a crowd of men stood by doing nothing in New York. Recently a woman was repeatedly raped while people stood by doing nothing. Throughout our Cities people are being assaulted, mugged, robbed, murdered, and raped while people stand by watching doing nothing. Evil is the result of Good doing Nothing. Perhaps "We", who have honest grievances, should follow the examples of Antifa and BLM and Riot, Loot, Burn, and Destroy Private and Public Properties knowing " We" will not be stooped, interfered with nor prosecuted? Forest Fires are often defeated with Backfires! If I am to perish anyway, I would choose an "Honorable Way."

Lopez... well said.
America's situation is nearly hopeless and lacks the committed leadership necessary to restore Constitutional government. The Patriot movement lacks the leadership willing and capable of mobilizing the masses. It lacks the organization and funding necessary to wage a successful campaign of passive-aggressive civil disobedience. As presently organized the patriot movement is incapable of massing and sustaining the numbers needed to peacefully shut down the economy AND GOVERNMENT, which is necessary, if the movement is to generate fundamental change. Violent revolution is suicide and the expectation that elections will bring positive, formative change for the better is ridiculous and borders on insanity.
Trump has the leadership potential and resources... to organize a Lech Walesa style solidarity movement, by aggressively converting his election apparatus into a political force focused on mandating fundamental reforms via passive-aggressive civil disobedience modeled after the Polish Solidarity Movement. The return of Constitutional Government will not take place thru voting in change. However, such a move would require Trump to put his entire family and fortune at risk for a public that appears unable to commit to such a venture. The public remains fickled, holding out hope against hope, that our national crisis is all just a nightmare and will go away on its own... looking to 2022 as a way back from OZ. Dorthy and Toto have hitched their future to a hot air balloon... and an unfavorable wind making their journey home a lost cause. Our hope must be focused on God and not man or his solutions. They will lead on;y to greater betrayal and calamity.
You keep bringing up Poland, Lech Walesa, as an example what we should do.
There is one HUGE difference between them and us, communism was bankrupt, they had no money to stay in power, there was nothing left to take in Poland or any other of the countries they controlled, the Soviets were empty handed and going down without resistance.
We are still a rich country, there is much for these politicians to take to make themselves wealthier. These people see the pile of riches and WANT it, they have an incentive that the Soviets did not, they will not tuck tail and walk away, disappear in the middle of the night, we are more in the situation of Venezuela than Poland. Venezuela was incredibly wealthy before the commies took over, and you don't see their leadership leaving regardless what the world thinks, what their people want.
They are willing to starve their people to death before they would give up........the power and money is more important than the people and country! These people are taking down all the small business with this fake pandemic as we speak, and if they get their way, when there is nothing left of the middle class, when they are broken, they will nationalize all the huge businesses, kill off the wealthy like the revolutionaries murdered the czar and his family, put people in prison, camps, whatever it takes.
We are not Poland, a country broken, robbed, raped and tortured without resources, we are in the early stages of the fight, not at the end when the enemy is exhausted.
The Polish Solidarity Movement is a SUGGESTED MODEL for the PEACEFUL removal of a Marxist government... It is cited as an historical example for exploiting peaceful civil disobedience to bring down a Marxist Regime. The Polish Solidarity Model is not meant to be a precise fit for the current situation. It is meant to provide a model for resistance that can be adapted to our particular situation.
Financially, America is leveraged to the breaking point and our government refuses to acknowledge or properly deal with it. America is nearly 30 trillion in debt and has over 100 trillion in unresourced commitments coming due. The financial crisis, not unlike Poland's, is a major part of the problem. Maybe you have something better to suggest, possibly civil war or a cleaner version of suicide. America's financial problems are not far from those present in the USSR when Poland broke free from its Marxist government.
Presently, America is experiencing the Marxists consolidate their hold on government power... the Marxists are purging all resistance to their power in the Federal Government. They are exploiting the Covid Pandemic, using CRT, and claims of White Supremacy, as vehicles to purge the Federal Government of all potential counter-revolutionaries. Finally, they are preparing for a massive purge of all the non-compliant population in the USA. Expecting 'voting and elections' to be the tool to remove the Marxists in government is not just problematic, it is a non-sequitur. In simple English, elections and voting will not work to reform the government. Elections and voting put us where we are today.
I am waiting for your suggestions on how to peacefully defeat an entrenched Marxist Regime... May I suggest that I am well trained and versed in how Marxist coups achieve power and progress in undermining targeted governments. Stating the problem and enumerating the symptoms of oppression in a Marxist state doesn't solve the problem. It only serves to discourage resistance. We are quickly becoming Marxist Poland. Maybe, we should wait until we are another Marxist Poland. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
This is another Leftist tool to tank the economy and create a socialist system. They are paying for mercenaries to destroy this nation. This has got to be subversion and must be put down ASAP.
They are using our money to pay for those mercenaries... and laughing all the way to the nearest collective.
