The next step in radically changing America is now underway. City officials in our national capital plan to allow non-citizens to vote next year. President Joe Biden let millions of illegal immigrants cross the border. Then he bussed them to Washington DC. The city’s Democratic machine now wants to let them vote — knowing they will almost certainly vote Democrat for all the support and assistance. This policy is a clear threat to American nationalism. READ MORE from Newt Gingrich: The 1972 Insurrection: When the Left Took Over Three characteristics define a survivable national identity. There must be a border which defines the nation. There must be a broad sense of history and common culture which enables people to see themselves as belonging to a common community. And there must be meaningful citizenship which gives people a stake in the larger national community (in our case‚ citizenship allows us to vote). The American left has been working overtime to erase all three of these characteristics. The left believes in open borders — and has done everything to make America open to millions of Biden’s illegal immigrants. This has not been the result of incompetence or lack of resources. This is deliberate policy. And‚ from the left’s standpoint‚ it is successful. The left hates American history. It despises the great men and women who sacrificed and worked to make America the most successful‚ prosperous‚ and freest country in the world. For three generations‚ the left has been brainwashing children into an anti-American worldview. The anti-American prejudice now infects most of our newsrooms and many of our larger corporations. Now that the left has been getting Biden’s illegal immigrants into the country‚ its members want to start letting illegal immigrants vote. In effect‚ the non-citizens would offset Americans with whom the left doesn’t agree. They are especially committed to getting new non-citizens to vote. Their dream of a huge American Latino-Democratic majority has been destroyed by the radicalism and real-world failures of Bidenism (Trump is now running ahead of Biden among American Latinos). A key test case for getting Biden’s illegal immigrants to vote in 2024 will be the City of Washington DC. Our national capital’s left-wing politicians are totally failing to protect residents from runaway crime (there were 959 car-jackings in DC in 2023). The city bureaucracy is driving sports teams out of town. The roads are decaying‚ and American citizens must visit their own national capital with a sense of concern for their own safety. Now‚ the DC City Council has decided its next contribution to American decay is to disenfranchise its own residents and allow non-citizens to vote. Now‚ the left — as they always do — will shout that being concerned about the votes of U.S. citizens being cancelled out by the votes of non-citizens is (you guessed it) racist. This is a ham-fisted attempt to shout down any discussion of what is an absurd‚ self-destructive policy that would make the entire concept of American citizenship meaningless. This is nothing but a fringe political position which is totally rejected by the American people. In a national survey from February 2021‚ Americans deeply opposed allowing non-citizens to vote in American elections. Further‚ they support requiring citizenship verification during voter registration. In Arizona‚ 81 percent support allowing only American citizens to vote and requiring citizenship verification to register to vote in federal elections. Only 15 percent oppose. In Maine‚ 75 percent support a ban on non-citizen voting and only 19 percent oppose. In Montana‚ the figures are 86 percent support and 11 percent oppose‚ and in West Virginia‚ they are 84 percent to 13 percent. In another national poll by McLaughlin &; Associates from May 2021‚ 61 percent disapproved of “new laws in places such as California and Vermont that allow non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections.” Only 30 percent approved. Congress should move this month to block the DC politicians’ effort to let non-citizens vote in our national capital. Congress should also pass a law making it illegal for non-citizens to cast ballots in federal elections. The effort to let non-citizens overrule Americans must be stopped.

'So‚ we don't need to be disrespectful. We don't need to talk about them as criminals. They're not‚' Haley said in 2015. Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley at one time defended illegal immigrants from being referred to as “criminals.” Haley’s defense of the illegal invaders came during a panel of Republican governors at the Aspen Institute in 2015‚ where she explained her stance on immigration. “But let’s keep in mind‚ these people that are wanting to come here‚ they want to come for a better life‚ too. They have kids‚ too. They have a heart‚ too‚” Haley said. “So‚ we don’t need to be disrespectful. We don’t need to talk about them as criminals. They’re not. They’re families that want a better life and they’re desperate to get here.” Nikki Haley says it's inappropriate to call the illegal immigrants 'criminals':"We don't need to be disrespectful.

Anyone who does so is a criminal.” Other Republicans also seized on the footage‚ chastising Haley for being an apologist for the globalists’ open border agenda.

Haley appears to have modified her stance on the subject in recent months‚ using the term “illegal immigrants” in one social media post last month. Here's how we FIX the southern border once and for all:✔️25‚000 more Border Patrol and ICE agents✔️Mandatory E-Verify✔️ Defund sanctuary cities✔️No tax dollars to illegal immigrants✔️Remain in Mexico✔️End catch &; release‚ start catch &; deport— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) December 7‚ 2023 Haley seems to be getting closer to grasping the big picture‚ as the term “illegal” implies “unlawful‚” and a person who breaks laws is a “criminal.” Will Haley revise her stance now that her remarks are being revisited and called out?

So-called 'sanctuary city' trying to block illegals from entering! GOP Texas Governor Greg Abbott is reportedly sending illegal immigrants to New Jersey train stations so they can enter New York City after the Big Apple’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams recently issued an executive order cracking down on buses filled with illegals being sent to the city. Viral News NYC posted footage to 𝕏 showing loads of illegal immigrants making their way through New York’s Penn Station while an individual ushers them to taxis that drop them off at the Roosevelt Hotel where many of the invaders are being housed. “I was told around 300 migrants arrived in total. While NYC officials state the migrant crisis is unsustainable without help migrants keep rolling in . This new route is taken to avoid the NYC Mayor’s executive order‚” the post stated. #BreakingNews More groups of migrant arrive at Penn Station.

Richard Norris Williams was a passenger aboard the RMS Titanic who went on to become a National Tennis Champion in the United States and Olympic gold medalist in mixed doubles tennis. Richard Norris Williams‚ American tennis player The Swiss Philadelphian  Williams was a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin. Both of his parents were from Philadelphia. His father‚ Duane Williams‚ helped to found the International Tennis Federation.  He was born in Geneva‚ Switzerland‚ and went to a Swiss boarding school. R. Norris Williams and his father boarded the Titanic in 1912. HMS Titanic Duane and Richard Norris Willaims were first-class passengers on the HMS Titanic. The British passenger liner was the largest ship afloat when it set sail.  Over 1500 people died when the ship sank on a frigid spring night in the middle of the Atlantic. Just after the ship collided with an iceberg‚ the two Williams men came across a steward who was trying to help a panicked passenger trapped in their cabin.  R. Norris Williams freed the trapped passenger by breaking down the cabin door. The steward scolded him and threatened to fine him for damaging ship property. This event inspired a scene in James Cameron’s 1997 film. They went to the ship’s bar but found it closed. The nearest steward refused to unlock the door. Duane Williams handed his son his empty flask‚ which became a family heirloom.  As the ship continued to sink‚ they went up to the deck. Many lifeboats were already clear of the ship. They could see the lights of the lifeboats glittering in the distance. They retreated from the intense cold by going into the gymnasium‚ where other passengers had gathered.  The Titanic leaving Southampton. 10 April 1912 The Fight for Survival The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats capable of carrying a total of 1‚178 people. There were 2‚209 souls on board. Only 712 survived. Due to the chaos that followed the ship’s collision with an iceberg‚ many of the lifeboats only carried a small fraction of their maximum capacity.  Neither of the Williams men claimed a seat on the lifeboats. They remained on the boat deck of the doomed ship until the end. They jumped clear of the ship just before it went under. The elder Williams was killed by a huge piece of falling debris – one of the ship’s chimneys.  “I saw one of the four great funnels come crashing down on top of him‚” Williams said when he recounted his father’s death. “Just for one instant I stood there transfixed – not because it had only missed me by a few feet … curiously enough not because it had killed my father for whom I had a far more than normal feeling of love and attachment; but there I was transfixed wondering at the enormous size of this funnel‚ still belching smoke. It seemed to me that two cars could have been driven through it side by side.”  Williams swam to one of the lifeboats‚ Collapsible Boat A‚ and clung to the side for a long while before climbing aboard. The boat was already partially submerged‚ and its passengers were waist-deep in the frigid water.  Rescue and Hypothermia “I was not under water very long‚” Williams recounted later‚ “and as soon as I came to the top I threw off the big fur coat. I also threw off my shoes. About twenty yards away I saw something floating. I swam to it and found it to be a collapsible boat. I hung on to it and after a while got aboard and stood up in the middle of it. The water was up to my waist. About thirty of us clung to it. When Officer Lowe’s boat picked us up eleven of us were still alive; all the rest were dead from cold.” Over half of the lifeboat’s passengers died of hypothermia before being found and rescued by Fifth Officer Lowe aboard Lifeboat 14. He ferried Williams and others to Collapsible Boat D.  The closest ship was the RMS Carpathia‚ which reached the Titanic survivors one hour and forty minutes after the ship sank. It was another four hours before the final lifeboat was found and its passengers collected.  After spending hours in the freezing cold water‚ Williams’ legs were so badly frostbitten that Carpathia’s doctor wanted to amputate. Williams refused. He paced the deck to keep the blood flowing‚ not resting or sleeping for more than two hours at a time. His legs made a full recovery. Just two months after the sinking of the Titanic‚ Williams was back to playing tennis competitively. He played against Karl Behr‚ another Titanic survivor‚ in a tournament near Boston.  Williams served in the United States military during the Great War. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor. Both before and after his military service‚ he played tennis professionally. For many years‚ he was regarded as one of the best tennis players in the world.  Williams’ Tennis Career When Williams was twenty years old‚ he won the Swiss Tennis Championship. He went on to attend Harvard University and become the intercollegiate tennis champion three years running. After college‚ Williams won a great many tennis championships. He earned two men’s singles titles at the U.S. Championships and two more at the U.S. Clay Court Championships. Other wins over the years included the Newport Casino Championships and the Pennsylvania Lawn Tennis Championships. Williams excelled both as a singles player and as a doubles player. He and a partner won the Davis Cup twice (that’s the World Cup of tennis) when Williams was 34 and 35. Williams excelled both as a singles player and as a doubles player. He and a partner won the Davis Cup twice (that’s the World Cup of tennis) when Williams was 34 and 35. Richard Williams and Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman‚ winner of the mixed doubles at the 1924 Olympic Games He played in the 1924 Olympics at the age of 33. Despite a sprained ankle‚ he won the gold in mixed doubles with his partner Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman. He remained active until the age of 44‚ when he finally retired from championship tennis. He lived in Philadelphia with his wife and four children and worked as an investment banker. He also served as the President of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania for 22 years. Williams lived to the age of 77.The post The Life of R. Norris Williams: Titanic Survivor and Tennis Champion first appeared on History Defined.
