sympathized with illegal aliens convicted of sex offenses (including against minors) calling it a "cultural misunderstanding"
suggested US citizens will suffer if illegal aliens are deported
The article indicates that the Trump Administration will keep on keepin' on with the deportations of illegal aliens in our country. The Trump Administration considers deporting illegal aliens as preventive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the US Citizen.
WE should not be "adapting to" the culture of those who come here. Those who come here should adapt to OUR culture! It's called "assimilation" and it is expected of all immigrants. Unfortunately, not all foreigners who come here are actual immigrants. Many are refugees and refugees think they should be able to bring their culture here and we should let them. That their laws (such as Sharia) supersede OUR laws (they do not).They don't need to come here and change OUR culture to suit them. If they don't like our culture, they should go someplace where the culture is more of what they want. Or they should go back to their own country and work to change their country to be what they want.
Since 90% or more of what the propaganda media reports about the actions of the Trump Administration is negative, I'm sure the Trump Administration could do about 100 of these articles each day calling out the propaganda media for their lies, deceptions, and propaganda in support of the Communist, Socialist, Tyrannical agenda of the Democrats.
On July 29, 2025, the White House also released the articleWHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Landmark U.S.-EU Trade Deal Is Another Big Win for Americanswith organizations and businesses associated with industries affected by this Trade Deal indicating it is a good thing for their industry. Here are a few examples of those in agreement with the Deal (most of whom expect to see an increase in the profits when all is said and done):
298 active cases 12 suits filed by the Trump Administration
46 dismissed suits or appeals
14 SCOTUS stays or motions to vacate of lower court orders
1 SCOTUS affirmation of lower court order
7 suits where judges ruled for the federal government
22 suits where judges ruled against the federal government

On July 29, 2025, the White House released the articleVP Vance Champions One Big Beautiful Bill in Ohioannouncing that OBBB is a "landmark achievement" of the Trump Administration. They also call out those in the media who gave positive coverage (for a change) of the VP:
This list should be much longer if the propaganda news were actually reporting on the news; but, they're not, so the list is short. On the other hand, the OBBB is now LAW, so they can stop pushing it as if it were still in Congress. What they need to be doing now is talking about the upcoming budget bill. President Trump allocated NO dollars ($0) for the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). However, the House Republican Appropriators have added $315,000,000 to the budget to fully fund NED. I thought the Republicans were supposed to be on the President's side, not on the Democrat's side of things.

I wonder if the Autopen Administration was charging these fees to all they released into the interior of our country. Seems to me illegal aliens are committing more crime than just entering the US illegally, they are also bypassing all the fees being charged. If they were charging every alien released into the US, then an accounting of fees collected divided by fee amount at the time would equal the number if aliens released into the US (not counting the 'got aways'). I'm guessing "amnesty" invalidates all fees owed, so the person who avoided all the fees by coming here illegally "wins" when amnesty is offered.
When I visited other countries, I paid the fee associated with being a visitor to the countries that required it. Without paying that fee, I would be illegally in their country.
Some countries are more strict about it, like Brazil. If you do not have a Brazilian visa, you cannot board a ship that stops in Brazil. You can not board the ship even if you claim you will not disembark while the ship is in dock anywhere in Brazil. You also cannot take a plane that has a stop in Brazil unless you have a Brazilian visa, even if you don't get off the plane.No visa, no entry. Period.
In Russia they are not quite as strict. Without a visa, but as a member of a cruise ship, you may enter Russia provided you are on a ship's tour. And you must stay with your group the whole time (although I did do a little shopping on the side without the group with the knowledge and permission of the tour guide) as well as roamed freely in St. Petersburg (although the ship did provide transport to and from the dock to St. Petersburg).
In China, in addition to needing a visa, they do biometrics (picture & fingerprints & copy of your passport and a copy of the visa) when you enter. I was a bit taken aback at the fingerprints since that was the first time in all my travels I met with a demand for fingerprints.
Some countries simply allow for visas to be reciprocal at no charge, so a majority of the countries I visited did not require a separate visa for US passport holders. Just don't overstay your welcome regardless of whether you paid for a visa or not. The consequences can be dire.
Visitors from other countries should do the same here - pay the fees. And if they want to move here, they should be willing to follow our laws and that includes paying the fees associated with moving here.
William married Ann Remington in 1750. They had 7 children, 5 who lived to adulthood. Ann died in 1764. He married Abigail Cary in 1767. They had 10 more children, 2 who lived to adulthood. Abigail died in 1793.
He started working as a merchant, then as customs collector, then as a clerk of the Rhode Island General Assembly. He began practicing law in 1770. William was selected as a replacement at the Continental Congress, signing both the Articles of Confederation and the Declaration of Independence (his signature is almost as large as John Hancock's). Serving at the Continental Congress took a toll on his financial resources(delegates were unpaid). He road horseback rather than incurring the expense of hiring a carriage and dining on bread and butter instead of spending funds on meals. From 1780 to 1781 William served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island becoming chief justice from 1785 to 1786. He considered himself an abolitionist by 1785.
I have been a clerk of the court, a quack lawyer, a member of Congress, one of the lords of the Admiralty, a judge, a loan officer, and finally a Collector of the customs and thus, not without great difficulty, but as honestly, thank God, as most men, I have got through the journey of a varied and sometimes anxious life
William diedwhile reading a bookin his study on February 15, 1820 at age 92. He was buried in the Common Burial Ground in Newport, Rhode Island.

But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
