looks like pepper spray time

So what if they're from Africa. If they are here illegally, they have to go to. Now President Donald J Trump has to stand on his word and get rid of all illegals, that looks like him my skin color,race shouldn't mean a thing get rid of them. All of those people here from the Ukraine here that are receiving a social security check and our Medicare system along the ones from all around the world and is a drain on our economy have got to go. It's all about the United States of America that matters . President Donald J Trump if you are a man of your word, keep your foot on the gas. They all have to go, no more time to waste.

Well if they acted like a man maybe they won't have that problem but they want to be weirdos so be a weirdo on your own time not the American I'm their name we appreciate that they want to serve our country but the point is they can't push their views into our military our military is a fight and forth to protect America we cannot have these outrageous programs that does not protect the American people that's not why they're there they're there to protect America and that's it

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

? I LOST SOME OF MY FINGER TIPS FROM GANGRENE AND IT WASN'T PRETTY ! PLEASE ROSE TAKES THE HELP & RUN WITH IT ! I'M ALMOST 10 YRS CLEAN FROM SOME REALLY NASTY DRUGS ! IN THE LONG RUN IT IS WORTH IT! THERE IS LIFE AFTER DRUGS ! I ALMOST LOST BOTH ARMS & BOTH LEGS TOO BUT, THANK GOD MY HUSBAND DIDN'T LET THEM DO THAT TO ME ! I ALSO HAVE A HUGE SCAR FROM JUST BELOW MY BREAST DOWN TO WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE ! I'M 58 BUT I SOME TIMES I FEEL LIKE 98 ! LOL I'M PRAYING THAT YOU TAKES THE GIFT FROM THIS GUY !

But just like last time no white ones

I have a hard time believing that our government finds so much money to allow illegals to function. I’m a veteran so I have had the opportunity to visit other countries and you can’t pull that crap anywhere but here. You can’t work or rent or anything without proper paperwork. Our government should just takeover the Mexican government and end the corruption that keeps these talented and hardworking people down so much they risk everything to get here to do what they should be able to do there. So since they want to be over here so bad let’s just take the country and start taxing them like real Americans. Sorta like a new Puerto Rico but much closer.

Wow the first Mexican/ American at that, says the first real thing. I mean Mexicans wave there flags & talk about there country so much yet you guys don’t want to be there. Yes yes yes I know the cartel, but like this women said it’s time to take your country back. Ask trump for help with taking back.

how do they deal with the hormonal therapy issues, hormone blockers (testosterone) and taking hormones (estrogen) in times of war, or the emotional issues this causes. Or the cosmetic issues, like breast implants or butt implants or other stuff at times of war. Imo, some may be able to deal with this, but imo I do not think the majority can.

The post-war world order is now over. It's time for Canada to drop out of NATO and NORAD (what is the point of a defensive strategic alliance with the only country in the world that is openly threatening you with annexation?) and expel all American military and government personnel in the country. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc need to form a new strategic and economic bloc oriented toward the goal of breaking America, just as we did with the Soviets when they were the largest threat to global peace and prosperity. Sadly, it is more likely that we will allow the Americans to divide and conquer us... literally!

it worked the first time he instituted these tariffs in 2016, I suspect it will work again, because Canada and Mexico have no real leverage. they can say they will fight back with their own tariffs but its a losing game for them because, they are a luxury for us. we dont need them. they need us far more than we need them. and thats why despite grumbling they caved in last time. they will do the same, you just have to let them get it out of their system like a toddler and try and save face for a bit.

He was born as a man but changed his appearance to look like a woman. Like rejecting the fate he was given, not setting a good example especially in the military. Can you imagine out of 100 soldiers 90% are like ?? If I had known, at that time Also I resign ?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Funny because he did the same thing last time, but wasn't a convicted criminal and sex offender, yet people still voted him in.. Almost like they wanted all of this.

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.

Tariffs are gathered by the US Treasury, and Trump is in power to enrich himself by taking from the world's biggest financial reserve right in front of everyone, just like last time.

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.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Putting tariffs on other countries triggers those countries to also impose tariffs on the US and likely trade with other countries and leave US alone with its goods. Not too good. Canada, Mexico, and China putting tariffs on US will slow US economy big time, like it or not.

Game on. Time to bankrupt Mexico. It is a failed narco state. Canada? Nice people, but their woke leaders have neglected their responsibilities to the point over half of Canadians want to join the United States. I think the Canadian political class has lost control of their country, and like the US Democratic Party, they are out of touch with the common sense citizen who just wants to work, take care of their families and live in peace with their neighbors.

Trump claimed the US doesnt need Canada - Canada doesnt want to deal with a Felon who acts like a mafia mob boss trying to pull an illegal shakedown after a contract was already signed - the thing about trust - it is lost easily - gaining it back - not so much - so time to align with trading partners who don't try to screw us.

only a matter of time before usd is replaced as reserve currency. when u start treating your allies like this you lose all trust.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

???I don't know of any Canadian of sound mind wanting to move to the USA. Your country is now governed by authoritarians, a convicted criminal t rump and his stupid maga maggots! Your country is literally collapsing. Your country is filled with hatred and racism!! Why on earth would Canadians want to live in a country that's going backwards.We love our multiculturalism and our universal healthcare. We don't like your ridiculous, long-drawn-out politics! Our country is a million times safer than your country, which has a bunch of foolish people running amuck with guns and semi-automatic rifles. I would never want my kids to go to your schools because your education is not that great. I also don't want my kids to be afraid of going to schools.... you have crazy people who are racists, including students who shoot kids, teachers..... good grief!!

No one cares just like all the anti Trump that resulted in nothing. This channel was a waste of time the last 4 years. Had zero impact on the election and the American public.

Why so you think indian visas are rejected ..... They don't know how to live in a community.\n\nWhen you get Visa for a country that country expects you to intergrade and live according to their standards...\n\nIrrespective of multicultural efforts paid for by governments indians live so dirty destroying the neiborhood...\n\nNever cleans after using a space\nNever care the time boundaries respected by others\nThrows garbage allover the place \nSteals \n\n\n\nThis is not for all Indians , I know some respectable indians too but majority is like this ...

Why are they trying to make it like they're going by race If you're an illegal, it doesn't matter what rate you are, you're gathering all up at the same time?Not one race after the other race !!!!! Stop the bullsh@#

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

We each have our little flickers of time here... No one else will ever know much, if any, of what it is like to be who we are, and for the most part no one will ever really care. Our life is ultimately our life, and so long as we are not harming others in the process we must create a life of our own meaning, determining our own objects of importance and committing to their pursuance. Throughout our life we are faced with serious decisions about what we believe, who we are, and what we do, and mostly none of it is self evident. If we look we can always find a reason to regret any decision we make, move or stay, agree or disagree, take the job or quit, marry or divorce, live one path or another... In all cases whatever the choice may be, we will only know the outcome of the one we take, and none we take will ever ultimately resolve the uncertainty of life. However, perhaps it is less about getting a potential course of life right, and more about attempting to do so with an effort of self honesty and virtue. To live a life that can be looked back on with the knowledge that some of our decisions were wrong in their effects, but right in their intention of not selling ourselves short. Ultimately no matter what we do or say or believe, there will always be a great many who disagree, or judge, or become upset by our decisions. It is of essential importance that we ensure that among those people, we are not one of them.

We have been wasting too much time on this idiocy. We don't care about your sexuality, your a man and likely up to the physicality of service, you meet them in a more authentic way that is woke talk and we don't want woke in the military. We need tough people who are not bogged down by ideologies and are only ready to fight for their country. Your cause is not the cause the American people want in the military. Stop virtue signalling.

I'm reading.\n Some of the comments. I know my opinion may not matter. But it may eh inside some people. I hope I guess the way that I would look at this is being in their shoes. It's completely different than ours. We are given opportunities from birth. Basically to common deer, the life that we would like to have well, at least most of us are. In the United States, people from degrading. Or degraded countries are not giving those opportunities. So I would imagine over the years. Any type of hope that they had for a great country is depleted. Solidarity in countries like that is not accepted it would be suppressed. It would be stormed on and smashed out by the you. See an opportunity to better your life and your children's life. And it's the fourth quarter and there's 2 seconds on the time clock. And you've only got one play to make. We all go for what the big hell, Mary and I think that's what these people are doing and God bless every one of them. That are good people. I feel sorry for this situation. I wish the world was a better place, but unfortunately it's not all we can do is pray for these individuals that hope that they find solace in what they're looking for. And we have to prefer ourselves also and pray that God takes care of our country.And theirs god bless everyone in this world

Guantanamo Bay exists so that the US government can do things on Cuban soil that it can't legally do on US soil under their own laws. The US has no moral authority over any country, and its time other countries stop acting like they do.

My dude you just said that health care is never discussed in american politics. \n\nAlso, all these people saying that health care in Canada takes years and years for things that take weeks in the US are typically full of it. Yeah. Some provinces that shall remain nameless like to break contracts with health care professionals, resulting in shortages of certain types of workers. \n\nI live in remote northish parts of my province (not NWT, Yukon, or Nunavut), and 6 years ago I was diagnosed w/ lymphoma. They had me set up to do chemotherapy treatment within 2 weeks. They wanted me to start that weekend, but I needed the time to put my work in order for me to be gone for an extended period, get applications set up for EI/Healthcare claims, and figure out who in my family I wanted to share the information with. \n\nIn Canada you end up waiting for elective surgeries and treatments, because they aren't critical by virtue of being elective. That's about it. If you need an elective and have 10K in your pocket not doing anything, go ahead and go to the states.

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?

It's shame on indian govt, if tourism is developed then why Indians look towards other countries. Though our history is great govt is not doing anything, it's high time for country to develop like China.

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

I guarantee most people have met a transgender and didn't even know it. I took a course at work and both instructors had transition from female to male. You would never know unless they told you. Im not sure why people want to fight people being who they want to be. They don't impact anyone eles and just want to live their lives. Stupid how Republicans have made this an issue. What about guns that are killing people every day?? What a waste of time going after trans people like they are killing people or something.

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.

When this person is addressing this is issue it seems to be normal. Can women serve in the military? Yes! The deal is transgenderism. Who voiced this stupidity of gender transition in children? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who advocates for children using puberty blockers? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who is advocating for bathroom use? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who is advocating for drag queens reading for your children and elementary school, some books that are like a molestation towards a child? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. What he can or cannot do in an airplane is not my concern at this time. My concern is many of the problems we have today is not coming from those who conform but from those who wants to flip things over. Thanks for your services but take a leave and please don’t come back “commander”.

We need the army to get to the border and take control like they have done for 100 years………it’s time!\nGet them back to the border!

When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I was discharged from the naval reserve ... even though I was on a 1 pill per day regimen at that time. Somehow, hormone therapy looks like a lot larger medical stretch than a pill in the morning.

Standards change with time. As culture (and possibly the next DSM) reconsiders a small population of (likely pharmaceutically-dependent) transitioners as mentally ill, I expect military risk analysis will follow suit.

Back in the 80's, it was called professionalism. When you go to work, you don't wear a monkey suit, a bikini, or dress like the opposite sex. On your own time in your own home you can be, well, whatever.

The edits for the Crenshaw interview to attempt to keep the narrative isnt just bad editing. it's cringe worthy shit propaganda. If you want to be in the military then be in the military, no one has to know you like to play dress up on your off time. Its not that hard to keep that shit to yourself.

You wanna act and dress like a female and live out your sick fantasy? Do it on your own time. Don't bring that crap to the military, school, or work. And don't force us to play along with your fantasy.

Transgender in the military? maybe in peace time or fighting rag tag women and children, but in a real war like the Russia war, there are no transgenders.

CNN news story video request: \nThe Department of Homeland Security widened its investigation into migrant children found cleaning slaughterhouses and is now working with the Justice Department to examine whether a human smuggling scheme brought migrant children to work in multiple slaughterhouses for multiple companies across multiple states, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the investigation. \n\nIt’s no secret that billions of individual animals will be killed this year to satisfy America’s dairy and flesh addictions. At the slaughterhouse, they’re often scalded to death or dismembered while they’re still conscious. Because slaughter lines move quickly and many workers are poorly trained, stunning animals with a captive-bolt gun often fails to render them unconscious. As one slaughterhouse worker charged with cutting off the legs of conscious cows explained to The Washington Post, “They die piece by piece.”\n\nWorkers often become sick or are injured because of the unsafe and unsanitary working conditions of these gruesome facilities. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) records show that about 17 “severe” accidents occur each month in U.S. slaughterhouses. Approximately two slaughterhouse workers have a limb cut off by slaughterhouse machinery each week. It’s not uncommon to hear of workers losing an eye, fracturing their fingers, or suffering from head trauma.\n\nOSHA indicates that U.S. slaughterhouse employees are 3 times more likely to sustain a serious injury than the average American worker. People who work in pork and beef plants are nearly 7 times more likely to develop repetitive strain injuries. According to news reports, two-thirds of workers on Upstate New York dairy farms have reportedly sustained at least one workplace injury, and many say they’re told to work through illnesses and injuries. An Oxfam America report reveals that chicken plant workers fear that they’ll be fired if they take “unscheduled” bathroom breaks, so many wear diapers.\n\nWe can all help stop the abuse and exploitation that occur in slaughterhouses simply by going plantbased and speaking out against all the cruelty and injustice of animal slave farming industries.

These people are part of the reason why we lost to the election. Every time that they are highlighted, you irritate the other voters that are now happy with their vote. Even though that vote is tearing the rest of their lives apart. This country is so divided for so many crazy reasons. It seems like a new reason.Pops up everyday

Gosh, yeah its def time to block it up you can't just run into another country like this there are procedures and processes to follow

Time for our military to stop the invasion ? the trash mainstream media like CNN likes to call it something else ??
