"Hahahahahahahahahaha. You got played, NYC," [wrote Amy Curtis]('https://x.com/RantyAmyCurtis/status/2041899855337988157?s=20'), a conservative writer, on X.

"Mamdani lied about free buses — and basically everything else in his campaign," wrote Tim Young, a media fellow at The Heritage Foundation, [on X]('https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/2041897617324425495?s=20'). "And the idiots of New York fell for it," he added.

"Socialism is like a toxic ex: big promises upfront, disappointment later," conservative media outlet Prager U [posted on X]('https://x.com/prageru/status/2041945626527904234?s=20'). "Just ask New York about those free buses."

"Don’t shoot at cops. You shoot at cops, we’re going to run you over. He got run over. He got what he deserved," the sheriff said.

Better outcome than any CA judge. He would have been back on the streets with a desk appearance ticket.

The billionaire rocker is [facing backlash]('https://x.com/olilondontv/status/2042220088691208418?s=46&t=04zPYe3OqeXZDefU6iCnlg') after recently blasting America’s richest and most powerful in a scathing speech, one that critics say rings differently given his reported $1.2 billion fortune.

Springsteen began to address an audience, saying, "The richest men in America have abandoned the world’s poorest children to death and disease through dismantling of U.S. aid. This is happening now. We're [undermining NATO]('https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/nato') and the world order that kept us safe and at global peace for 80 years. This is happening now."

Give the $1.2 billion away for the better of mankind and then and only then open that big mouth.

does the us military accept people who are racist, homophobic, trans-phobes, and white supremacists?

Seems they don’t want these type people but some manage to still get in.

The U.S. military has official policies designed to prevent the recruitment and retention of individuals who engage in racist, white supremacist, or extremist activities, as these are viewed as detrimental to unit cohesion, good order, and discipline.
U.S. Department of War (.gov) +2
However, the military's ability to screen out people based solely on their internal beliefs or ideologies is complex, and in practice, instances of extremism, white supremacy, and discrimination have been reported within the ranks.

Policies on Racism and White Supremacy
[LIST]
[*]Zero Tolerance Policy: The Department of Defense (DoD) expressly prohibits military personnel from actively advocating for supremacist, extremist, or criminal gang doctrine, ideology, or causes.
[*]Active vs. Passive Participation: While "active participation" (such as recruiting, fundraising, or public advocacy) is strictly forbidden and can lead to administrative or criminal punishment, some military officials have testified that "passive" association or holding beliefs without acting on them is harder to prohibit, raising concerns among civil rights groups.
[*]Command Accountability: Commanders are responsible for identifying, investigating, and intervening when they see signs that troops are associating with extremist ideologies.
U.S. Department of War (.gov) +3
[/LIST]
Policies on Homophobia and Transphobia
[LIST]
[*]Inclusion Policy: Current Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) policies prohibit harassment and unlawful discrimination based on sexual orientation.
[*]Transgender Service: Policies on transgender service have shifted between administrations. As of 2021, policy allowed transgender individuals to serve openly and access gender-affirming care. However, subsequent political actions and executive orders have targeted these policies, creating volatility in the status of transgender service members, with some directives aiming to bar them entirely.
[*]Harassment: While individual discriminatory viewpoints may exist, harassing or discriminating against service members based on sexual orientation or gender identity is a violation of military policy.
Advocates for Trans Equality +3

Challenges and Reported Incidents
[LIST]
[*]Ideology in the Ranks: Surveys have shown that a significant percentage of service members report witnessing white nationalism or ideologically driven racism within the ranks.
[*]"Woke" Debate: There is internal debate, with some arguing that initiatives designed to promote diversity and inclusion (DEI) are weakening the military, while others argue that a diverse force is essential to military effectiveness.
[*]Extremist Activity: The DoD Inspector General has received reports of domestic extremism, and efforts are ongoing to strengthen screening to prevent extremists from joining.

[/LIST]
In summary, the US military officially does not accept individuals who actively engage in or support racist, white supremacist, or hateful ideologies. However, reports suggest that such individuals sometimes infiltrate the force, leading to ongoing efforts to identify and remove them.

DESPITE WHAT MISINFORMATION FOX-NEWS REPORTS BRAINWASHING YOU INTO THINKING THE VAST MAJORITY OF CRIMES COMMITTED ARE BY UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THE TRUTH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE

Research based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and state-level records indicates that U.S.-born citizens commit more crimes by percentage—and have higher incarceration rates—than undocumented immigrants.

Key Findings on Crime Rates
[LIST]
[*]Lower Incarceration Rates: Undocumented immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born citizens. A 2024 analysis showed that native-born Americans were incarcerated at a rate of 1,195 per 100,000, while illegal immigrants were incarcerated at a rate of 674 per 100,000.
[*]Lower Conviction Rates: Research on Texas Department of Public Safety data (one of the few states that records immigration status) has consistently shown that undocumented immigrants have lower conviction rates and are less likely to be convicted of crimes than native-born Americans.
[*]Violent Crime: Studies found that native-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely for drug crimes, and 4 times more likely for property crimes than undocumented immigrants.
[*]Long-Term Trends: This trend has been consistent for decades, with research showing immigrants have had lower incarceration rates than the U.S.-born population for over 150 years.

Data Nuances and Context
[LIST]
[*]Data Limitations: Criminality and immigration status are difficult to measure nationally, as most jurisdictions do not record the immigration status of those arrested, leading to a reliance on estimates and data from specific states like Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma.
[*]Exceptions: While the overall criminality is lower, some studies suggest that increased immigration enforcement and deportation programs have not significantly reduced overall crime rates.
PNAS +2
[/LIST]
While some reports, particularly those utilizing specific state-level data such as in Arizona, have argued that illegal aliens are incarcerated at a higher rate than citizens due to factors like drug smuggling, the consensus among peer-reviewed research and major policy studies, including those analyzing national ACS data, is that U.S.-born citizens commit crimes at a higher rate.
