   The Rise of Apoplexy...
  

 Apoplexy? Try sheer frustration at the insistence by Democrats that
 letting in 10-20 million unvetted people wasn't a problem.

 
 Apparently doing anything other than throwing open the metaphorical doors
and
 standing back while the entire Southern Hemisphere floods into the country
is
 "apoplexy" for the Pigs of the world.
 

 Clearly a LOT
 of people disagree and will welcome Homan's efforts to solve the problem
 - at least initially. (Inevitably, some sad stories will become public
 as these deportations kick in and, Americans being a good and decent
 people, may find that they want to make some exceptions to what might
 initially be a fairly hard line.)

 
 I'm just happy to have a "border czar" (although I hate that term and really
 wish we hadn't adopted the practice of using an honorific from Russia’s days
 of dictatorial royalty to refer to our public officials) that doesn't
dance in
 the streets with open borders activists singing "Up, up, with education,
down,
 down with deportation!"
 
 

Especially given the state of "education" the last several years. I just
saw Megyn Kelly interview Bill Ackman and he revealed that one of the
things that really got his attention was when an anonymous survey at one
of the Ivy League universities - Harvard or Yale but I can't recall
which - had revealed that only 2% of all the professors admitted to
conservative leanings; all the rest were "progressives". And that was
during Trump's first administration. Things have only gotten worse since
then. No wonder the colleges and universities are full of this "woke",
pro-Hamas rot and those university presidents shit the bed so badly when
questioned in Congress earlier this year.

 
I don't get that opinion. Why do you think progressives are pro-Hamas
and not just pro-Palestinian.

Because whenever they get together to protest, they hold up Hamas flags and
chant things like "from the river to the sea", which is an express call for
Jewish genocide.

Who is "They"? I'm sure there are people who call themselves
"progressive" who fully support Hamas but I've not seen evidence to
show me that's even a majority of people calling themselves
progressive. There's always going to be people in any group that take
on more extreme positions like being pro Hamas even when Hamas does
things like that October attack on Israeli citizens.
