A Real American Hero

 I know this is late, but I was busy on the 10th, so I made this Charlie Kirk Week. The leftists have their own name for it. They call it a "Kirkiversary". I was watching a video of them laughing and celebrating. I even saw a white-haired simp say something to the effect that he's going to have a barbecue. He said "If you felt sad for Charlie Kirk, or you're calling him a hero, then you're not invited to my party!" I said "I don't want to go to your dumb ol' party anyway!" Who knows what he'd be barbecuing. Probably found a way to barbecue soy leaves. No thank you! I'm not interested. I'll have a party of my own. I made a cake. An orange sunshine cake. It came out good too!

Yes, I am having a "Kirkiversary" of my own. But it's not like the kind the leftists would think of. I'm celebrating Charlie's LIFE. Just like I celebrate my father's life. Just like I celebrate Michael's life. I'm celebrating what he did with his life, I'm celebrating his courage, I'm celebrating what he brought to this world, I'm celebrating his family. That is how I celebrate. If the leftist black congress people can believe a stupid thing like some dumbass thug died for them, then I can believe Charlie Kirk died for us. For America. For free speech. That is how I celebrate him.

I remember when my sis first told me the news that Charlie Kirk got shot, I couldn't believe it. I hoped it wasn't true, or I hoped he'd pull out of it. But then my sis listened to a podcast and found out that Charlie died. When she told me, I was so stunned, I almost fainted. I thought it couldn't be possible. But indeed it was. I hated it. I hated the leftists because I just knew one of them did it! And I knew the reason had to be because he spoke out against trans people. Don't ask me how I knew that. Some primordial instinct inside me just said that was the reason he was killed. This was before I knew anything other than Charlie Kirk had been shot. I had no details of what happened, where or how. All I knew when I thought that was it had to be by some radical trans activist. I don't remember if it was later that same day or two days later, that was when I finally found out my instincts were right. It was a radical trans activist. Even with Candace Owens confusing the whole plot by saying Israel did it. I didn't believe her. This whole Israel thing seems to have driven Candace a little mad. I feel sorry for her kids now. Including the one growing inside her. Who'd have known their mama is a dumbass!? And I never thought I'd be saying that about Candace Owens. I used to like her. A lot! But yeah, she's gone crazy now.

When I heard there had been a statue of Charlie Kirk put up, you couldn't have chiseled the smile off my face! I was so happy! I want to go see it! But wouldn't you know it? The leftists have already desecrated it!

This is another thing I just knew would happen if there was ever a Charlie Kirk statue created! I knew the leftists would make markings on it like this. I know leftists pretty well! Especially the marking on his neck, in the area he was struck. But hey! I still love the statue. I think it looks great! I always said if I ever see the statue of George Floyd, I'm gonna smear my dogs' shit all over it! At least it'd be the same color he was. And it's fitting too. George Floyd was nothing but a nasty, shitty thug. I won't say he deserved to die, but what good did he bring to this world? None. At least Charlie Kirk stood up for a right we all have, the right of free speech. He was a better person than I am! I had to shut off commenting on this blog. I didn't like doing that, but this little shit who kept commenting here, just cannot take a hint.

It wasn't until a few days later, when Ericka Kirk told the world that her daughter went to bed one night and asked where her father was, that finally broke me. I cried like a fountain! Then my dog Ele did something amazing! She understood me and how sad I felt. She heard me sniffling and immediately came and put her paw on me and laid her head in my lap. I never knew Ele was sentimental like that. See why I love animals more than people! Leftists would laugh at me crying over something like that. But not my dogs. Ele actually understood how I felt. That was unexpected! But a welcome act of love. I got closer to Ele that day. I don't even like kids that much. I've never been good with kids. When they talk, to me it all sounds like gobbledygook. So, I'm uncomfortable around kids. Even when I was a kid. But I can still feel for Charlie Kirk's kids. And I do. They should not have lost their father like that. It's especially sad they were so young when it happened. At least when I lost my father, I was in my 40s and I grew up with him, I got to do things with him. But now, Charlie Kirk's kids will never know that. They'll never get to grow up doing those kinds of things with their father. And that made me sad.

And the leftist democrats, the so-called "party of love, compassion and tolerance", think Charlie Kirk's murder was funny. Well, it's not! And I'm not just saying that because he stood up for free speech, or because he was a right-wing Trump supporter, or because he was a Christian. I'm saying that because he never hurt anyone! Ever! All he did was talk to people, which is something someone in his position should do! He was a good person who did nothing to deserve what he got. I never met the man, but I have keen instincts on the way people are. No matter how they try to hide it. I could tell Charlie Kirk was a good person. He always treated people with respect. Even if they shit-talked him. That's how I could tell he was good. I always heard if you really want to know how good or bad a person is, listen to how they talk about people who disrespect them. Remembering that, I will say Charlie Kirk was a much better person than the leftists who are celebrating his death. Of course, the leftists make up things Charlie Kirk said about them. They think he was a bigot, a transphobe, a racist. But that all comes from the leftist media taking words out of Charlie Kirk's mouth, or editing out the parts that make him sound good.

The leftists always brag about how good and compassionate they are. Then they make fun of Charlie Kirk being killed. Not only that, but I heard Mamdani and AOC were laughing and joking around at the 9/11 memorial ceremony, as the victims' names were being read. That's why no one wanted Mamdani there. And some dumb leftist democrat congress women got up on stage and actually said they send condolences to the families and friends of the stupid hijackers!!!! That, to me, was totally disrespectful! They said nothing to the families and friends of the innocent victims who were killed because some stupid terrorists had a hatred for America. At least Trump has the decency to remember the innocent civilians who lost their lives that day! And no, I don't believe he did that for his own benefit. That's what leftists say every time Trump does something good.

I Finally Got Them!

 I finally got my first set of softbills in my collection. These are just my first, there will be many more to come! I already missed a sale where I could get blue-gray tanagers. But I will catch the next one, and I am ready! But for now, my first softbills are this pair of Venezuelan Troupials. I love these guys too! They are so cool-looking! So far, one of my favorite birds in my collection.

These are in the same family as blackbirds, like the red-winged blackbirds, whose song, IMO, announces the beginning of spring in marshy areas. They are also in the same family as what I call "Walmart birds", because I see them all the time at Walmart parking lots, wandering around looking for scraps. Their real name is Brewer's blackbirds

Like I said, this is just the beginning. I plan to get some different kinds of tanagers as well, like paradise tanagers. That's the one I am REALLY looking forward to getting!

And sooner or later down the road, IF I can find some, I want to get some more pekin robins again

I remember having some of these back when I had my first bird collection back in 1992. I bought them at a pet store that I used to visit a lot. They were actually quite common back then. I knew of 3 other pet stores that carried them. Now, I can't even find a breeder in this country! I know that's a lot of space between 1992 and 2026, but I wonder what happened. Why can't I find them anymore?

Ya know that same pet store, I recently heard, keeps their birds in dirty cages. But at this point, I don't care!!!! If I can find more of any birds I want, I'm gonna get it! I'll just say it's a rescue. I used to go there a lot! It's the pet store in Des Moines, near Kent. They also used to sell all kinds of exotic reptiles and amphibians. I used to go there a lot for some day geckos. That's another species that is hard to find! Nowadays, all most pet stores (and even breeders) have in day geckos are the larger day geckos. And I myself, prefer the smaller ones, like peacock and gold dust day geckos. I've even found one breeder of neon day geckos! But only one. No other breeders I know carries those. It's such a shame! Back when we had more pet stores, I could find almost anything! Now that most of them are gone, I don't see much of anything anymore! And that sucks! Because breeders are not easy to find! Not if you want a specific variety of bird or day gecko.

A lot of the birds I used to have in my first bird collection came from pet stores, and I had some back then I have never been able to find again! Nowadays, if you are lucky to find a pet store that carries birds, most of them are conures. Not that that is a bad thing. I'd love to have a hand-tamed sun conure! And the smaller birds they have are usually zebra and society finches. No one carries exotic finches anymore. For all this, I blame the ARAs. They SUCK! I mean, I love animals, but I'm not a crazy animal rights activist! I'm actually not an activist for anything. In order to be an activist, you have to be a radical, and I hate radicals!

My sis says I should breed birds. Well, that would be nice, I could put all these birds I got to good use. But that's not why I got them. To me, birds are like living decorations. I feed them and keep them watered, and once a week I clean their cages, and I love to sit back and watch them frolic around in their cages and listen to their little songs and calls. To me, that is fun on a boring afternoon. I have birds because I like them. I wish more varieties were available here in the USA. I found someone who has birds of paradise!! Now that would be like the top of the mountain for me! That's the ultimate prize! But I bet they cost thousands of dollars.

Well, in other news I had to shut off comments here. I'm not angry nor nothing, but I am sick of this kid who keeps commenting. I'm used to him by now, but I'm just sick and tired of him. This time, I don't see me allowing anonymous comments at any time in the foreseeable future. Just like all other leftists, if he doesn't get his way, he gets pissy. I don't need that. This is why I totally disagreed with Clinton making it illegal to spank your children. I knew in the long run, it was going to create miscreants like this kid. I look at what he writes, and I think "If I had talked to an older woman the way he talks to me, my ma would have slapped me to the middle of next year!" That's the way I was brought up. Being naturally from the south, my ma taught my sis and me some manners. It's a shame Gray Stanback's mama didn't do the same with him.

But I really cannot say nothing. I was like him when I was his age. Everyone who disagreed with me, I thought was against me. It took me a long time to realize that just because someone disagrees with me, that it's not a personal attack on me. It's just them being who they are, and thinking what they do. I can disagree with someone and still be friends with them. Leftists can't. But I can. And I sure don't want to be like any leftists!

As I have said on here many times before, I'm all for people living their lives however they want. As long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. And I'm a very modest woman. I won't go into a locker room if there is a man swinging his junk all around at everyone! I do not, and will not, ever see trans "women" as being real women. No way! Because they're not. To say they are, is a lie. I won't stoop that low for anyone. I don't care if I did used to like them. Not gonna happen!

He said I was a coward for not accepting his notion that trans "women" are women. I told him, no, it would be cowardly of me to agree with him and say they are, when I know they're not. That would be me giving in to leftist's lies, when I know they are lies. Bravery is sticking to your values, even when you know they might enrage the opposition. Cowardice is changing your point of view just to appease the opposition. I won't do that! He asked me what would it take for him to make me believe trans "women" are real women. I told him an act of GOD. But GOD has nothing to do with trans people. That's Satan's doing. This is his world now. Ever since Obama. Stanback said he'd do anything. I thought about that, and thought about that and I finally said no. There's nothing he can do. 

I was going to play it safe and say "Would you promise to move on, leave me alone and never come back if I said what you want me to say?" But I figured even then, he wouldn't do it. His ego is too big. That's why he keeps coming back here. He's not worth it though. I don't like him well enough anymore to defile my principles for him. He's like the evil ex who keeps saying he wants me back, but won't stop abusing and harassing. I didn't opt for that kind of treatment, so I told him to fuck off this morning. And I am glad I did.

My Most Important Post, Part 2

 I said I was going to do it, well here it is...

ICE and Trump vs. Obama

By total raw numbers of formal deportations and removals, the Obama administration used ICE to carry out significantly more deportations than Trump's first term, though daily enforcement rates and interior arrests have surged sharply during Trump's second term. [1, 2, 3]

Total Deportation Numbers

Barack Obama (8 years): Oversaw approximately 3.1 million formal ICE removals across two terms, peaking at over 407,000 in fiscal year 2012. [1]
Donald Trump (First Term, 4 years): Recorded fewer than 932,000 total ICE deportations, with a peak of about 269,000 in 2019. [1]
Donald Trump (Second Term): Enforcement and daily removal averages have accelerated past previous highs (averaging over 1,000 to nearly 1,200 per day in 2025–2026), though total cumulative numbers remain below Obama's multi-year totals. [1, 2]

Enforcement Strategy and Differences

Obama Administration: Focused heavily on individuals with criminal records or those intercepted near the border recently, earning him the label "deporter-in-chief" from some immigrant rights groups due to the high overall volume. [1, 2]
Trump Administration: Focused on a wider, more aggressive net of interior enforcement, high-profile workplace and community raids, and broadening the scope of targets regardless of criminal history. [1, 2, 3]
Detention and Custody: According to reports outlined by DW, the rate of individuals detained and the number of deaths in ICE custody have risen significantly higher during Trump's terms compared to the Obama administration due to longer detention lengths and higher daily counts. [1]

One thing I always hear from leftists is this thing about due process for illegals. That seems to be the only time (and I do mean the ONLY time) leftists care about due process. They say Obama gave fair court hearings to illegals, even though we, as Americans, do not owe illegals anything. But they say Trump never gives any due process to illegals.

Here's what I found about Obama...

Yes, the Obama administration used both formal immigration court proceedings with due process and rapid administrative removals (such as expedited removal and reinstatement of prior orders) that bypassed an immigration judge. [1, 2, 3]

Immigration Courts and Formal Deportations

Formal hearings: The administration processed roughly 3 million formal deportations through the executive immigration court system.
Prioritizing criminals: Official policy directed enforcement resources toward public safety threats, serious criminals, and recent border crossers. Individuals in standard removal proceedings had the opportunity to present their cases before an immigration judge. [1, 2, 3]

Expedited and Administrative Removals

Non-judicial removals: A significant share of removals during the Obama administration—estimated by analysts and advocacy groups to be around 70% to 75% by 2012—did not involve a formal hearing before a judge. [1, 2]
Legal mechanisms: These relied on established legal tools like expedited removal (fast-track deportations near the border) and the reinstatement of prior deportation orders, which limit standard court hearings. [1, 2]
Criticism: Civil rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) criticized these rapid removal practices, arguing that expanding fast-track authorities undermined adequate due process protections for individuals swept up in the interior or at the border. [1]

And this about Trump...

President Donald Trump's administration sought to fast-track deportations and bypass standard immigration hearings, arguing that undocumented immigrants do not possess the same due process rights as citizens. [1, 2]

The Legal Framework and Challenges

Constitutional Protections: The U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment guarantees due process rights to "any person" on U.S. soil, regardless of legal immigration status. [1, 2]
Expedited Removals: The administration expanded expedited removal policies to deport certain individuals rapidly without a standard hearing before an immigration judge. [1]
The Alien Enemies Act: The administration attempted to use the historic Alien Enemies Act to execute fast-track mass deportations, which led to major legal battles. [1, 2]

Court Interventions

Supreme Court Rulings: Federal courts and the Supreme Court repeatedly intervened, ruling that even individuals targeted for removal or detained under emergency authorities are still legally entitled to basic notice and an opportunity to challenge their deportation. [1, 2]
Judicial Blocks: Civil rights organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) successfully challenged and blocked several sweeping attempts by the administration to completely bypass removal hearings, with courts affirming that due process requirements remain mandatory. [1, 2]

But do illegals really have a right to due process? Well, according to what I found, they do. But there are limitations...

Yes, undocumented immigrants inside the United States are legally entitled to due process protections under the U.S. Constitution. [1, 2]

Constitutional Basis

The Fifth Amendment states that the government cannot deprive any "person"—not just a citizen—of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that this protection covers every person physically present within the country's borders. You can read the official analysis of these protections via the U.S. Constitution Annotated. [1, 2, 3, 4]

What Due Process Means

During formal removal or deportation proceedings, due process guarantees non-citizens basic procedural rights:

Notice: Receiving a formal document that explains the charges and reasons for deportation.
Hearing: The right to have a case heard before an immigration judge.
Defense: The chance to present evidence, bring witnesses, and reply to government claims.
Counsel: The right to hire a private lawyer, though the government does not provide a free attorney. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Important Limits

Civil Law: Immigration violations are civil matters rather than criminal offenses. Because of this distinction, immigrants do not receive a government-paid public defender if they cannot afford a lawyer. [1]
Fast-Track Rules: Congress allows "expedited removal" for certain individuals who are caught at the border or who entered very recently, which bypasses standard court hearings in specific situations. [1, 2]
You can read more about current legal challenges and updates from the American Immigration Council. [1]

However, I can see why Trump is also using the fast-track rules. It's because of Biden. Biden allowed far too many illegals to cross our borders during his term. This is the part leftists just don't seem to understand. They think Trump is deporting illegals for shits and giggles. Or because they think he's "racist" and "xenophobic". But that's not the case at all. For example, I remember one person crossing the border under Biden's admin. He was a Pakistani man. He came into this country, it was believed, to cause trouble. He said something to the effect of "Americans don't know me now, but they soon will know me!" Which sounded like a threat! He even said it with this look of hatred in his eyes. That's the reason I support ICE. My priorities are the victims, and potential victims. Here's a few...

Those are the faces of Americans who were killed by illegal immigrants. Many died due to Biden's soft-on-crime laws. Biden was such a dumbass, he gave more respect to the criminals than to the victims. At least Trump respects the victims. These are some of the most well-documented victims of illegal immigrants...

I pray every day for our country. Actually, I am not too scared now, but I will be when Trump gets out of office. I'm voting for JD Vance then, if he runs. I sure as Hell don't want AOC as president! She's too dumb to run a country. She didn't even know what a garbage disposal is. But you know the leftists. They'll vote for her anyway. They think she's the second coming of Einstein. That's a thing that I've noticed is common among leftists. They think anyone who agrees with them are intelligent, well-educated people. And those who disagree with them are uneducated people. That's why I don't give a shit if a leftist thinks I'm intellectually challenged, or whatever they call it now. Besides, they're the ones who think men can magically become women, and vice-versa, while the rest of us have known for millennia that no mammal can change genders.

In all of nature, the number of transgender mammals and birds can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Yes, I have actually seen it. I once saw a cardinal that had coloring of both a male and female. Here's an example of that...

And have you ever seen a female lion with a mane? It's caused by a hormonal imbalance...

These don't happen in nature nearly as much as it does in the human world. And I don't buy the conception that there are more trans people now because they are more accepted. If that were really the case, then why have trans people been around for hundreds of years? Leftists always say that. So, why is that? That more proves that transgender today is a social miasma, brought on by leftists. I think it has a lot to do with big pharma and weak men not wanting to commit to the patriarchy.

I saw a video last night about Ellen Paige, who named herself "Elliot Page". She's now demanding we all see her as a biological man. The problem is, we never will. She still has a lot of girlish qualities. And those who watched her in The Odyssey said she still runs like a woman. Well, her reasons for yearning to change into a male are some of the stupidest reasons I've ever heard. She said she just did it because she was tired of male fans stalking and ogling her. Well, she was once so cute. Many women would have killed to look like her! Instead of believing she'd be happier disguised as a man, she should have become a better role-model for young girls. But this pretty well proves people like her transition for only one reason; insecurity. Not body dysmorphia, just plain and simple insecurity. I see it in Ellen's eyes. She's definitely NOT happy with her life now.
