Or, better yet, we could have lived with the Indians, learning how to finger paint and make tepees, excusing their scalping of frontiersmen as part of their culture. Forget about being the nation that stopped Hitler, brought communism to its knees, and feeds more hungry people around the world than any other country -- forget all of that, and let us just agree that we're a horrible nation. Or, we can raise our flags, lift our guns, and proclaim that we are Americans, that we enjoy personal freedoms Islamic nations could only dream about, we are the land of the free, the home of the brave.

I would of wished the Southeastern tribes kept more of their land instead of all marched off to ?Oklahoma [trail of tears]. The Lakota Nation keeping The Black Hills. More land for the ?Mohawks The awful boarding schools, and "Christianization"; bah! Maybe it could have been partly better.

Thank Goodness they some made it through, keeping some to many traditions, and trying to make better lives (not always easy!) for themselves, whether in cities, or Reservation lands.

Mediaite - White House Raises Eyebrows by ‘Correcting’ NY Times Headline, ‘Taunting’ the Supreme Court

Alex Griffing
Apr 18th, 2025, 1:15 pm

The White House’s official social media account released an image of a “corrected” New York Times headline on Friday, which quickly stirred controversy as it appeared to signal the Trump administration’s plans to defy a Supreme Court ruling.

In the image, the White House took a headline that read, “Senator Meets With Wrongly Deported Maryland Man In El Salvador,” and crossed out the words “Wrongly” and “Maryland Man” while adding “MS-13 Illegal Alien” and “Who’s Never Coming Back.”

The Times headline was affixed to a report that began, “Senator Chris Van Hollen said on Thursday night that he had met in San Salvador with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador last month has become a flashpoint in the immigration debate and fueled a standoff between the Trump administration and the courts.”

/snip/

The post from the White House was met with a barrage of criticism with several pundits and observers warning of its larger implications on the rule of law in the U.S. The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake commented:

2 telling things here:

1) White House crosses out “wrongly,” despite repeatedly acknowledging its error in court.

2) “who’s never coming back” is basically taunting SCOTUS. Signals the opposite of any intent to “facilitate” his return.

Why is no asking if it’s about deporting then deport them. You don’t send them to a shithole labor prison in a 3rd world country. If it’s about crime then have a trial and serve his sentence here and then deport him to his country of origin.
