Titanic

74% of the women who are on the Titanic survived, while only 19% of the men lived, which means that men gave up their spots on the lifeboat for the women and children because that’s what men do – women and children first. We will go down with the ship. We will offer up our lives to save the lives of women and children. In this current battle of the sexes, many men like to point to that example to show the mindset of men. It’s not just in dramatic situations like the Titanic, on a day-to-day basis, men will sacrifice themselves for their family, for their wives, for their children.

But the other part of the Titanic tragedy that is not talked about very much is the hour or so after the ship sank. There were dozens of lifeboats that were filled mostly with women and children, in a relatively close proximity to the hundreds of men who were still alive in the freezing water wearing lifejackets, but the women never rowed over to where the men were to pull the men into the lifeboats. Were they mean? Were they coldhearted? Were they soulless? Were they selfish? Were they evil? No. They were pragmatic. The situation was what the situation was. And they knew that if they rowed their boats over to where the hundreds and hundreds of men were freezing to death, the men would have overwhelmed the boats. The boats would have sunk, and not only would the men have died, but also the women and children. As the story is told, as those women and children were in those boats waiting for another ship to come and rescue them, they could hear the men in the water screaming out in pain as they were dying of hypothermia and they never went to help them.

We are facing a very similar situation in America today. There are 8 billion people in the world. There are billions of people who need help, who need resources, who need food and clothing, who need shelter, who need healthcare. We have a dilemma. Do we want to help these people in need? Of course we do. We want everybody in the world to have all the food, clothing, shelter and the medical care that they require. We all want that. I don’t know one person who doesn’t want that for the people in the world. The problem in America is, if we open our borders and allow tens of millions of people to flood in, our social service system will be so overwhelmed, that it will collapse, and then no one – not American citizens and not the illegal immigrants – will get any of the services that they need. Just like the women in the lifeboats. Of course, those women wanted to save those men, but they knew if they went over there and tried to save those men, everybody would die. That was an excruciatingly hard decision. That was a decision that no one should be forced to make. You would hope that there could be another way, but there really isn’t.

Here in America, we have to make really difficult decisions. We cannot save the world. We cannot open our borders and allow our country to be flooded with migrants who drain our social services to the point that there are no more social services for anybody. If you have not checked, our country is $39 trillion in debt. Illegal immigrants cost the United States taxpayer over $300 billion every year. The United States does not have an extra $300 billion burning a hole in our pockets, looking for something to spend on as we go $1 trillion further into debt every year. So yes, we would love to help everybody in the world, but if we try to help everybody in the world, we will help nobody, not even ourselves

Yes, I feel sorry for those people in need, but it’s not our fault that these people are in that situation, and it’s not our responsibility to save those people. Why don’t we put as much pressure and shame on the politicians who have so poorly or corruptly run their countries that millions of people are fleeing to come to America.

Donald Trump is making good decisions to keep his country economically stable and viable, so the United States citizens can thrive and survive. If every president of every country around the world did for their country with Donald Trump is doing for our country, there wouldn’t be tens of millions of illegal immigrants trying to come here.

Ironically, it is white liberal women who are voting overwhelmingly for politicians who want to flood our countries with tens of millions of migrants and overwhelm our system into collapse who are driving these decisions. These women cannot see what the women in the lifeboats instinctively knew. Too many people in the West are suffering from suicidal empathy. They are so hell bent on proving that they are morally superior to everyone else, that they are willing to destroy their own country in the process.

These are the tough decisions. Look what’s happening in France. It is being destroyed because it had a high level of empathy for anyone who wanted to come to France. We do not want mass migration into our country specifically because of what is happening in that country. Not because we just don’t like the look of the migrants, but because they are attacking and looting and rioting and burning places to the ground in France. They are destroying that beautiful country.

The reason why we want Somalians out of our country, isn’t because we just arbitrary decided not to want Somalians in our country, we don’t want them here because they committed $9 billion of fraud and over 81% of Somalia households are on public assistance. They’re either taking money directly from our government or they are stealing it through fraud, and on top of that they are talking about implementing Sharia law in our country which is a direct attack on our Constitution. That’s what’s happening. This isn’t a secret, and it isn’t a figment of racist people’s imagination. It’s what’s happening right now.

Over the last 25 years, the UK has imported over 1 million Middle Eastern Muslims, and now we find out over the last 10 years, 250,000 young British girls have been brutally raped by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs. So, it’s not that we just want Pakistani Muslims out of our countries for the heck of it, they were brought in, and they have proven that they don’t know how to behave. It’s very simple.

If you welcomed a stranger into your home, you opened your doors to them and you offered them food and clothing and a warm place to stay, and they trashed your house, robbed you blind and raped your daughters, wouldn’t you say we should probably get this guy out of our house? You wouldn’t ask them to bring their cousins into your house, also. Why are we doing this to our countries? Lesson learned. We allowed these people in our country. They’ve raped; they’ve murdered; they smuggled in drugs; they set up elaborate corruption schemes; they’ve stolen; and they siphoned our social services dry. Lesson learned.

These people are incompatible with our country; they’re destroying our country; we can’t let anymore in and the ones we can expel, we should expel. It’s not very difficult. If they came here, and obeyed our laws, worked really hard, produced, and respected our tradition and our culture, they would have a legitimate argument to stay, but that’s not what happened. They did the exact opposite.

Right now, in Paris, there are arm guards protecting the Louvre for fear that these foreign rioters are going to break into that museum, and burn the place down – destroying thousands of years of Western culture and Western art. They will do it because they do not care about our culture and our art. It means nothing to them because they have no history with it. They destroy the country because they have no history with the country. They have no love for the country. They have no respect for the country. That’s why we have to be extremely careful who you bring into our country. We should only bring people into our home who we know are going to respect our home. The Western world gave these people an opportunity, and they quickly revealed who they were. Lesson learned.

There is a reason why their home countries are in a shambles. There is a reason why their home countries do not resemble Western countries. It is because of them. Every time there is someone in their country, some leader, who tries to do something good or tries to bring some order or progress to their country, people like this step up and destroy everything that that leader tries to do because that’s what these people are all about. That’s why their countries are hellholes. And we see the same thing in our blue cities. Those cities are very difficult to live in because the people there make it very difficult to live there. The crime rate is high in those cities, because the people who live in those cities commit a lot of crime. There are not Martians coming in from Outer space that are going into Chicago shooting 25 people every weekend. The citizens of Chicago are shooting other people all the time. Your country is only as good as the people who live there, or the people you allow into it.
