There Goes the Neighborhood

 That Duda sounds like a Trumpy kind of guy, so I can understand why Uncle Ken doesn't like him.  I might dislike him myself if I knew more about him, but that's beside the point.  My point is that the Polish government is trying to do something about their immigration problem and the US government is not.  Trump tried unsuccessfully and Biden isn't trying at all.  He doesn't seem to know what he wants to do.  First he invited them to come, then he told them not to come.  When they came anyway, he allowed some of them to stay here and shipped some of them back.   He has announced multiple times that "the border is closed", while not doing anything to stop the thousands of illegal crossings that are going on every day.  He seems to be currently ignoring the issue in order to concentrate on getting his big pork packages passed.

I stopped calling myself a reactionary after Trump came on the scene and carried the concept to reducto absurdum.  I still believe that his original mission was to give the Republican Party a bad name and, in the process, he has also given a bad name to reactionaries, conservatives, and Americans in general.  

I never meant to say that allowing gay marriage would jeopardize my own marriage.  What I meant to say was that it would degrade or cheapen the general concept of marriage as an institution.  Maybe that was already happening in popular culture, but the gays certainly did not help any.
