Aint selling out no black man or woman ? not my ppl we as a ppl been through enough

There are enough trans athletes in the world and good enough shape to compete on a world in Olympic level and all the levels beneath those, that I'm going to say that if someone transitions who is already in the military and they can still pass all the requirements to remain in the military, they should be allowed to remain in the military. That's fair. Edward Snowden, while in boot camp, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think he was training as a Navy SEAL, hopped off his bunk and his shins that were already broken disconnected and threw him on the floor. After his surgeries and Rehabilitation he was allowed to return to training. And this was with two broken legs that took weeks to announce themselves by disconnecting and misaligning to the point he could no longer Walk and Run on them. If he can do that then somebody suffering through all the crap that they have to go to go through to become another gender and the hormone balance they have to maintain afterward and they can still do their job they can still get in the rain, they can still run an easy 10 before breakfast, with a full pack they can still Shoot Straight they can still command they can still follow they still love this country and want to uphold our Constitution and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, then they should be allowed to stay in the military. A physical and mental Fitness is all that's required then I'm going to say this officer qualifies. Now what about the mental problem of being a man and considering yourself a woman or being a woman and considering yourself a man? I personally believe there is one God and his only son is Jesus who died for our sins and this guy created the universe and loves us but Mormon Jehovah's Witnesses Catholics and Muslims do not believe the same thing that I believe. Their ideology is different from mine as this man who identifies and has had surgery to become a woman in the US Military believe about himself.

I work with people getting them housing and I can tell you that the major focus is housing illegals besides that rent is too expensive. We do have problem with housing people, besides that there are too many buildings. There is not enough money to pay rent forever for illegals and they are the majority to be house.

Poland has done the same only with special force being used. By special i mean bullets. There is a legal way to immigrate. We have enough poverty and poverty we dont need more of it. We sent almost a trillion dollars to ukraine. We can have fixed our own issues with all that wasted money. Its not the governments money is ours the tax payers who paid it.

I am not really a fan of the tariffs Trump is imposing like lightning with Canada. I do think they should stop the walk thought to Us boarder security. I think they should however be an equal partner in securing their boarder. I don’t believe it is as much of a fentanyl thing but maybe I don’t know enough details in that.

If a transgender man takes the physical fitness test...does that person get a waiver for not being strong enough to meet standards for men, or have they lowered the scores for everyone? Military has very close bunking situations. The issue of them needing constant meds. Those men who have had or get bottom surgery have lots of nonstop issues with infection and closing up and constant horrendous pain. This is just a situation the military should not have to adapt to. They don't adapt to a slew of other issues that they say COULD impede ability to serve.

No matter who is the prime minister . We didn't started it and we are not taking laying down. I think this was good enough push back. If Trumpy comes for more Next thing should be the Removing EV tax credit just on Tesla. Invest in Eastern Canada pipeline and refineries , Bring crude or finished product to Montreal and start sending to Europe. Even with higher cost to refine heavy Alberta crude, we can still bring cheaper gas to Europe given that we sell our crude at 57USD to States and USA sells to Europe at 70. In today's rate Canadian finished product (With heavy refine + high transportation cost) in USA is 73USD per barrel as compared to WTI (with lower refine cost + lower transportation cost) is 82 USD. At 2024 exports levels you saved 14.1 Billion dollars per year + all refinery jobs and reason for it is the heavy discount we gave to you on crude oil. Facts tells me you are the free loader. Yeah we are small and gonna be in bad shape But this does not ends well for you too either.

All I see is a sea of working aged young men. A few women and children. My God when is enough is enough. These young ppl should know how to take care of their selves. Have they no shame. Why do they not fight for their own country there’s plenty of young men running to our border they can fight for their own country.

I agree that Trumps tariffs are not high enough and I agree that they need to be one hundred percent

First “They” say that US Tariffs will hurt the US Citizenry.\nSecond “They” seek to impose Tariffs ON the USA to hurt the US Citizenry (apparently NOT “hurting” Their Own Citizens?) \nThe USA has Specific Goals behind the tariffs (Border & Drug Control) do Mexico &/or Canada have Specific Goals as well?\n\nPersonally, I think if the US Citizenry backs down on outright Consumerism, We’ll find there’s a lot We Don’t (and Never) Needed.\nIf this version of “War” continues long enough, We will find that We can fulfill pretty much ALL of Our Own Needs … if not “Wants”.

They think their tariffs will do a thing? US is their largest trading partner not the other way around. It will harm them significantly more than it will harm us. Prices may go up a dollar here but an equivalent of 100 dollars there. Trudeau and the wicked witch of the south will back off and listen to their master soon enough just like Colombia.

It would be great if they have less children so it would increase the quality of living for the poor kids. Too many children and not enough food, clothers, education and so on.

Pathetic Polly is NOT going to be the next PM. One Fascist per continent is enough.

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

This is wonderful because we have many African Americans that need jobs, we do not have enough to go around.

Trump is to blame for all of this. But he is not smart enough to understand everything, so someone else must have thought this up, someone who will not be affected by this. I will boycott everything I can that comes from any Republican state.

I am not smart enough but I think if America keeps pushing like this globally then US de-dollarization isn't far.

Maybe I shouldn't like this but I do. Firstly, Canada has the luxury of not really needing to protect itself, they get to spend 3% what the US does on their military so they can focus on other things, like letting immigrants into the Country to price out the native Canadians and jailing people for misusing pronouns. Also, I want to see the US become slightly more isolationist, I'll happily pay more for US products. A tariff is paid buy the businesses who attempt to pass that cost down to the consumer. We need tariffs high enough that making things in the US makes more sense to these businesses.

If this Administration (Trump) isn’t stopped, we will not be functioning long enough to vote again. That is the secret behind his comment. He said we won’t need to vote again. ???

Thank you president Trump. Not only Africans. But please get read of Hindus. We got millions of iligals. Taking over west states California primary … please deported back to India. They getting fake cdl. Trucking legally in USA not good buying business across USA. Enough

Epic fail to not work with the world’s biggest economy and your biggest trading partner. Can’t get rid of Trudeau fast enough.

The word ILLEGAL has a specific meaning and no matter what c9ntext people choose to shape it doesn't change the word, if you do anything that is against a law its Illegal and right now we need to remove a whole lot of none beneficial Illegal people from America. Not being beneficial means i and millions of other Americans who work have to pay for you each year to be here and we have had enough stop making the word Illegal something else if you aren't then its not an issue.

Why Kaitlin Collins get so much privilege in CNN when there are so many more highly qualified people to take her spot. She is just not good enough for the Job. She should be given the Jim Acosta Spot now he is leaving. She is hemorrhaging viewers and costing CNN money

anyone who is messed up in the head enough to think they are a different gender to what they were born as is not sound of mind! and should not be in a powerful position, how the hell did he pass a phycology test if he thinks he is a woman???

Racism has been caused due to Muslims, pushing more and more on the communities in which they are living. Wanting Sharia law. Trying to change the society and culture of the country they live in. \n\nIf it we people from a white Christian country tring to change the society, people would not like it. It has happened after thousands of ASIANS came to USA. Does that mean that USA was Asiaphobic? What happened? Asians didn’t try and change every aspect of western culture and civilization. They contributed to society and bwgan to assimilate, while maintaining their own culture. This has been like that for hundreds of yeara excwpt for the past 20 yeara or so when muslims began coming more, and bringing, pushing their religion and culture. Crime, of all elements become part and parcel with the muslims in the west. Maybe a small minority, but, enough to disrupt and put fear in people.

That's not enough.

Not enough ? Depot all of them? Bloody scammers

Deporting 10.000 each day for 4 yrs is not enough.

When migrants come to our country they steal our jobs our houses and our women and then they call their families and then they become Voting Bank for the Democrats and other left wing parties and gets all the benefits which our citizens also do not get... Ban all sort of migrations from Pakistan Bangladesh Afghanistan Iraq Turkey Lebanon Jordan Egypt Indonesia Malaysia Yemen Somalia Mexico etc... we had enough and we need absolute security for our children and families from those migrants...

I think this is exactly what Trump is aiming for. To send a clear message out to anyone who plan to enter the US illegally should be afraid. Why would anyone want to go to a country where they have to continue to hide and live in fear? Its a great deterrent for those who still plan to come to the US illegally. Its better than the previous administration telling illegal to come and we will feed, cloth, and take care of your with health care at the expense are tax payer money. Trump should also cancel all hand outs to anyone who is not a legal immigrant in the US. We have enough problem with US citizens as it is.

I'm not a republican but I fully support them with their stance on illegal immigration. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

From $37K to $65K that's the minimum range of profit return every month I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.

A single competent trans is not enough to confirm the truth of a broader statement, , even he is convincing. Still, Transgenderism is a corrosive influence on morality.

AS IF MEXICO DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS\n- NOW, THEY WILL DEAL WITH THE WRATH OF EVIL.

If you don't.\nEven know what gender you're not mentally capable enough to even serve in the military in the first place

Do you not understand, they have broken the law along with most of them are violent criminals and the Biden administration is responsible for the damages and really need to be accountable along with these Democrats in these Sanctuary cities, no more enough is enough law and order will be restored!.

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

If you are sick enough to not know whether you were born with a penis or vagina than you have no business around weapons. Simple as that.

People fear, what they do not understand...I myself am guilty of not understanding...and to be honest, no idea where we would begin to understand this complex situation (and it is)...\n\nLife is complicated enough...as a man, women are hard enough to understand...and we had very few women on my ship in the 80s...\n\nTransgender...is a whole different thing...to understand (my brain can't comprehend)...\n\nI am not judging right or wrong...I simply can't comprehend it...

They have been serving, and your logic makes no fucking sense. Just because trump says so, is not a good enough reason. Especially since they have been serving

Who cares!? The military is already weakened by it's standards which have been driven so far down that this has become a major concern in 2025 along with not having enough available young males willing to fight for a corrupt regime.

As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, multiple times, I completely agree with the president’s anti-trans policy in the military. Soldiers have a hard enough job as it is much less stacking on some DEI nonsense. That’s only gonna take time away from their training and ultimately DEI is going to 100% negatively affect the mission and their safety. Of personally over a 10 year period served with a couple gay and lesbian Service members and never once was what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom ever an issue or counter to the mission but this new age woke DEI nonsense is completely counterproductive, dangerous, And disrespectful to the non-DEI service members. The simple act of picking an unqualified, military leader, who’s responsible for the care and lives solely on the gender, ethnicity, religion, or pronoun, and not on merit, experience, competency, or any of the other real requirements for a military leader is literally the most irresponsible, dangerous, and disrespectful thing you can do to the men and women who have literally dedicated their life for years in service of our country! There’s absolutely no excuse on this planet that would make it ok. Being a service member in combat is already the most stressful job on the planet, but to make them take their focus off of the immediate threat to focus on political correctness or someone’s magical mystery pronoun while trying to prioritize and mitigate threats and combat is the most asinine and literally dangerous Nonsense I’ve ever heard!??????

Recruitment is not down because transgender people/DEI is not allowed. It is down because the opposite is happening. DEI/Alphabet people are being shoed into places where they do not belong over more qualified other people. This process of putting less qualified people into positions endangers everyone else. Just like female lesbian firefighters in LA who are not strong enough to carry a person to safety think this is the fault of the victims they might encounter and not be able to save. This lowers morale and affects recruitment. If a transistor can meet the current requirements, they should be allowed to finish their time, but nobody else gets a free pass.

If you're not competent enough to tell your gender (based on objective reality, not feelings), you shouldn't serve

One (Hero/qualified service man ) out of 7000 Trans...Not good enough for our military forces.

I do know a transgender who dominates women’s softball at the highest level but he can’t compete with anyone on my men’s team , he just isn’t strong enough fast enough, sorry it’s just truths in the differences in the two genders, I’m not saying that trans poeple are bad not at all . These practices that the left keep preaching just won’t work

As a retired Marine, we do not need transgender's in the military. He is a NOT a she, regardless of what it says. Don't ask, Don't tell was bad enough, but it worked because this type of immoral behavior wasn't blatant as it is now in our military. There are 2 sexes or genders just as GOD made them. They join the military thinking they will get free surgery. If you believe you re something different, it is perversion and nothing else. PRAISE and GLORIFY GOD in ALL YOU DO, that behavior does NOT PRAISE OR GLORIFY GOD!

The Military is not a democracy. Quit trying to use it for social experiments.\nIf a person doesn't have enough dicipline to keep their sexual orientation private, they don't show enough dicipline to be a soldier.

Why would I want someone who’s mentally unstable enough to think they’re not their biological gender, who’s also undergoing hormone treatment to carry a weapon next to me in service to my country?
