⚠️Under Democrats, every state became a border state. But Florida is one of the few that took the hardest hit.
There are around 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the U.S., and approximately 775,000 of them are living in Florida. This figure represents about 4% of Florida's total population, allowing illegals to have social and political impact.
Florida attracts migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Jamaica and Mexico. There has been a particularly noted invasion of migrants from troubled Haiti trying to enter the U.S. by boat.
❗️That is why Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is waging a war on illegal immigrants. In addition to his iconic bussing of migrants to blue states and Martha's Vineyard, DeSantis is enacting laws that make life harder for illegals, so there is an exodus of migrants to other states. What steps did DeSantis take?
▪️obliged hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their immigration status. This has led to a 54 percent drop in expenditures billed to Medicaid in the first year alone.
▪️barred illegals from obtaining a driver's license and increased the prison and jail sentences for driving without a license. In doing so, DeSantis has secured Florida from a potential loophole in the electoral system that illegals can potentially use in some other states to vote.
▪️increased criminal penalties for people who commit felonies after having been deported and returning to the U.S.
▪️tried to criminalize transport of illegal immigrants, but the law was temporarily blocked.
These measures may be effective for Florida, but they do not solve the migrant crisis: even after leaving hostile Florida, illegals still remain inside the country and are able to take advantage of benefits and commit crimes. That's why we need to join forces with Florida.

Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
