I have a query on picture #14, why is there what looks like a splattered piece of fecal matter on the wall to the left of the flag?

Fourth of July swearing-in ceremonies, where Democrats-in-waiting finally get their voting papers.

With all the nonsense going on at the border, I find it insulting in the extreme that my wife is going to have to pay hundreds of dollars (possibly thousands), fill out extensive and truly-byzantine paperwork, and wait an outrageous amount of time to be “allowed” to immigrate the legal way.

Many of them probably figured they did not need to wait. They voted rat as soon as they got here.

She probably isn’t considered an automatic Democrat voter, that’s why.

Because the real power trip for people in FedGov is the power to be arbitrary. Like the Roman emperors, they can do what they want, when they want, to whoever they want. That's power.

“I have a query on picture #14, why is there what looks like a splattered piece of fecal matter on the wall to the left of the flag?”

Indeed it does appear to be excrement, did you by chance get offended by the man in image #10 holding the red foam tomahawk? Was there not some recent uproar about Native American themed sports teams being racist?

Considering the nature of things these days would anybody have been surprised if the Oath of Allegiance cards were printed in Spanish as well as English?

Normally I would be very happy to see all these people becoming United States citizens...They all seemed very proud to make that important step..

Freedom, Liberty, Opportunity...

I can hardly imagine living in crap hole of a country and finally able to became a US citizen, that must be an awesome feeling...

Somehow every picture I scrolled through all I could think of "how many of these people will be picking my pocket sucking at the government teat"

I know it's sad...
