It was only a matter of time before Elon Musk started getting more directly involved with politics. He hass sat on the sidelines as a loud but inactive critic for a couple of years, voicing frustration from time to time on Twitter (now "X") but generally staying out of the political fray.
That seems to be changing.
Musk took a trip to the southern border. What he found was shocking, prompting him to ask the big question about how our federal government is spending our tax dollars and their own political capital.
Why do so many American politicians from both parties care 100 times more about the Ukraine border than the USA border?

He is, of course, right. Lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle have made supporting Ukraine against Russia their number one priority. And while many Ukraine-supporting Republicans occasionally mention the border invasion that is decimating American prosperity and dramatically reducing safety for citizens, they rarely give the border crisis nearly as much effort as they do to securing more money for the oligarchs.
The answer to Musk's question is simple. The Military Industrial Complex has most politicians and the entirety of corporate media in their pockets. Border security proponents just don't have the money to buy attention.

Tennessee family faces deportation 15 years after fleeing Germany to homeschool kids: A 'well-founded' fear
Hannelore and Uwe Romeike, who face deportation 15 years after moving to the U.S. to homeschool their children, are afraid they will face the same persecution if they return to Germany.
Their stay was indefinite, however, until now.
For 15 years, the Romeike family has lived in Morristown. Uwe Romeike, the father of the seven Romeike children, works as a piano accompanist at Carson-Newman University. Now, they say, the U.S. government is trying to deport them.
The family moved to the U.S. from Germany in 2008. Their application for asylum said they were fined by the German government roughly $9,000 after homeschooling their children, court documents show.
Romeike said since he and his wife moved to the U.S., they've had two more children and two of their adult children are married to U.S. Citizens.
"They work here. Everything is here in America," Romeike said. "We don't have any place to live there. I don't have any work to provide for my family over there."
"[Homeschooling] is illegal [in Germany]," Hannelore Romeike explained. If they are sent back, they will face the same persecution as before.
