  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. I mean I certainly don't want the
Palestinian people to keep being bombed but I'm certainly not in favor
of Hamas being allowed to attack Israel without any consequences.

Ideally, in my opinion,  Hamas would be gone and the Palestinian
people would be allowed to control their own fate but that doesn't
seem likely to happen in my lifetime, if ever. Israel is just helping
to win more people over to Hamas by their killing of innocent
civilians in an attempt to wipe out Hamas leaders. Which just means
the fighting will likely keep going on and on and on.
