INDIAN CITIZENSHIP ACT of 1924
And who else will help us through this mess of being an "outsider" to the country you have lived in for over 20.000 years???
June 2, 1924 - 102 years ago - gads - in our own country.
The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (also known as the Snyder Act) is a landmark piece of U.S. legislation signed by President Calvin Coolidge on June 2, 1924. It granted...
The More Things Change....
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 47 comments • 6 months ago
I came across this old study and it captures the paradox of Democratic government that's always been been curious to me. Why do Democratic leaders make such self evidently disastrous policy choices when their own self interest would apparently be better served by governing well? Its turns out, Democratic leaders discovered over 100 years ago that's it better to engage in policies that chase...
Why Can't Red States Be More Like California and New York?

"Get Out!"
This should be the resounding theme coming from the general populace.
Do you like the ideas coming from the Republicans? From the Democrats?
I, for one, don't like the ideas that I hear from either side because they are mostly designed to entrench one or the other in power. Prove me wrong.
I have spent a great deal of time interacting with various form of AI over the past...
A thought experiment:Claude suggests What we might see if the New York Times weren’t hyper partisan
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 29 comments • 7 months ago
Make no mistake: The ideas that apparently inspired Cole Tomas Allen — who is accused of attempting to assassinate the President of the United States at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last Saturday — are virtually indistinguishable from mainstream Democratic rhetoric.
"Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy," Democratic politicians have said, in one form or another,...
3,951-ish Days of Artificial Division
By: Thomas • Opinion • 6 comments • 7 months ago
As I sit here and read the bickering and backbiting going on between and within the various factions on the internet, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, the temptation to become jaded, cynical and dismissive of other people, not just their opinions but the people themselves, can always be present.
Should we avoid these temptations? The answers from our better angels tell us,...
A Reality Check
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 10 comments • 9 months ago
We've had weeks of non-stop fear mongering and hyperventilating as Democrats in the midst of a full blown moral panic scream NAZI, NAZI NAZI at every opportunity. The media has given them billions worth of free support, echoing their preferred narrative and doing it's best to stoke the fires of insurrection.
And at the end of the day....51% of Americans approve of how Trump's handled the...
Where's the Outrage?
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 31 comments • 10 months ago
I logged onto the site expecting to see outrage from Democrats that Dick Durbin hasn't been thrown out of the Senate. Just a few days ago, I was told politicians lying made it impossible to follow the law and was immediate grounds for removal from office. Yet, here is Dick Durbin, the guy who keeps getting reelected because he been calling American troops Nazis and keeping Hispanics off the...

The bumbling, stumbling disgraced wreck of a Governor, facing possible indictment for covering up billions in fraud got singled out for his unhinged rhetoric by the US Holocaust Museum Not easy to stand out in that department among his fellow Democrats.
After he bizarrely tried to compare the situation of Americans to Anne Franke the US Holocaust Museum had enough:
Anne Frank was targeted...

A Reminder why you shouldn't equate the posiiton of Jews in Germany with illegal migrants.
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 16 comments • 10 months ago
Per Chatgpt...
Many people—including Jewish organizations and historians—argue that this comparison is misleading and can slide into antisemitic tropes, even when that isn’t the speaker’s intent. The concerns usually fall into several overlapping reasons:
1. It trivializes the unique persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany
Jewish citizens of Germany were:
Native-born citizens with full legal...
A Plan for America to Own Greenland in a Way that Makes Progressive Americans Happy
By: Sean Treacy • Op-Ed • 93 comments • 10 months ago
Progressives are really angry about Trump's plan to purchase Greenland. And's that sad. We need a united America in these trying times. So in that spirit, I offer a plan that makes everyone happy.
What do progressives love? Diversity! Greenland is one of the least diverse places on earth! Progressives can't like that.
So why don't we ship tens of thousands of American migrants (mainly...
