Each of my last 3 posts has a comment by "Anonymous." As the comments were all written within a short time frame, I'm assuming the same person wrote all 3 comments. I have a reply to some parts of those comments.
In the first post ("It's Time To Replace Musk At DOGE," 3/27/25), anonymous asserts that he has not seen any evidence of fraud and abuse, that it's "bs." Is that a joke? A quick Google search took me to the US GAO. "As of December 31, 2024, the Department of Justice has publicly announced criminal fraud-related charges involving pandemic-relief progams against at least 3,096 defendants - which can be individuals or entities." That took no time to find. And that's over 3000 criminal complaints from just a single, time-limited government program. You will also note, anonymous, that the ending date is 12/31/24, when Biden was still President.
In the second post ("More About Mahmoud Khalil," 4/2/25), anonymous says that it is "disconcerting that the doctor and Khalil push such hateful agendas." Other than the understatement, I agree. He then says the best way to deal with such speech is "to rebut them publically in a big way." First, if you would like to comment further, anonymous, I would like to know what you specifically have done to "rebut them publically in a big way." And while I agree that is the proper approach for rebutting an American citizen, I don't agree that should be the approach for non-citizens.
Not when we have another option - deporting them. American citizens are given the right to speak their minds under our First Amenment. I'm a big believer in it. But why in the world would we allow someone who has been given the privilege of coming to our country with a visa or green card, the opportunity to spew hate speech against Americans, to speak against the foreign policy of our duly elected government, and most shockingly - call for the overthrow of our government. Are you really suggesting, anonymous, that our only recourse against foreigners who call for the destruction of our country is to "rebut them publically in a big way?"
What if someone broke into your home, and declared that they not only had the right to be there, but that they also should be able to "overthrow" (evict) the exisiting residents - you and your family. Would you really say that the proper way to deal with them would be to speak out publicly against them? Because I'm willing to bet that you would call the police and ask the police to kick them the hell out.
In the last post ("Do You Have Remorse Having Voted For Trump?", 4/4/25), I am faced with a rather lengthy diatribe by anonymous. First, Anonymous tells me that I should give examples of "woke or DEI." Well, I hate to repeat myself, so I won't. Please reread the post, anonymous, for some examples. Anonymous says that I am greatly exaggerating the number of criminals who have entered the country illegally. I have never understood that argument. One criminal entering the country illegally is too many. We have enough of our own home grown criminals already. But I am glad to see that anonymous agrees that criminal aliens should be deported. (I won't discuss here whether everyone who enters the country illegally is, by definition, a criminal.)
Customs and Border Protection reports the following numbers during the Biden Administration. Fiscal Year 2021, 10,763, FY 2022 12,028, FY 2023 15,267 and FY 2024 17,048. That's "only" 55,106 criminal illegal aliens. Not too many for you, anonymous? But it turns out that those people have already been convicted of a crime. The US House of Representatives reported that 1.9 million illegal aliens during Biden's term were "gotaways." Who are they? Gang members? Cartel members? Human traffickers? Drug traffickers? Shouldn't we want to know?
It is insanity to have an open border policy, where we do not vet every single person coming into the country. I appreciate Anonymous saying that immigrants are needed to work in the farm and hopitality industries, and that we need a system to allow for "these folks to work here legally." But in the meantime, do we allow them in without knowing who they are, and let employers pay them low wages? I have advocated for decades that Congress needs to address the issue of "legal" immigration, so that we get the people in who will be a benefit to the United States. That does not seem to be happening.
I'll end with 2 issues I will not address here, other than to say, I did not address either one these issues (tariffs and the trans population), so I am not sure how they came up in your comment.
