The Four Harridans of the Democalpse, What the president actually Tweeted, Increased VA Home Loan Limits and Funding Fees, Small Town America lacking lawyers, and more good stuff for July 19, 2019


Puerto Rico’s Governor makes President Trump look like a piker
Nearly 900 pages of supposedly secret messages by Governor Rosselló to his aides go far beyond anything the president has said about The Squad.
The chat, which came to light earlier this week, showed that the governor called former New York City Council speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito the Spanish word for "whore," and in English told the oversight board to "go f--- yourself" followed by a string of emojis with the middle finger raised.
People are demanding that he resign but he says he isn’t going anywhere.
The leak of at least 889 pages of the private chats has sunk Rosselló into the deepest crisis of his career, nearly two years after Hurricane María exposed Puerto Rico’s collapsing long-neglected infrastructure and leaving several thousand dead on Rosselló’s watch. Last week, two of his top former officials were arrested by the FBI on corruption charges.
In the chats on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, Rosselló calls one New York female politician of Puerto Rican background a “whore,” describes another as a “daughter of a bitch” and makes fun of an obese man he posed with in a photo. The chat also contains vulgar references to Puerto Rican star Ricky Martin’s homosexuality and a series of emojis of a raised middle finger directed at a federal control board overseeing the island’s finances.

What the president actually Tweeted
Once again the media totally skews things. I’m sorry, but I don’t see one thing “racist” about any of it. In fact, he’s only saying what millions of Americans are who won’t ever be heard. Here are the two Tweets put together:
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……
….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
And then CAIR, the pro-terrorist pro-Islam group pipes up.
“Trump’s latest racist tweets echo the bigoted shouts of ‘go back where you came from’ heard daily by American Muslim women and children, immigrants and members of other minority communities across our nation. It is sad to see the occupant of the Oval Office transition from empowering and encouraging racist taunts to actually using them himself,” Awad said. “If Trump shouted the same thing at a Muslim woman wearing hijab in a Walmart, he might be arrested.”
Sure haven’t heard much from Kasich lately. Like he’s disappeared into the woodwork.
I think it’s hilarious
White House calls Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's group 'the squad that hasn't done squat' @ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jul/16/white-house-calls-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-group-/

Rep. Ilhan Omar Refuses To Denounce Al-Qaeda, Islamic Terrorism
This is definitely one who needs to go back to where she came from. In fact, DOJ needs to investigate just how she got here, her bigamy with her brother, and her totally disgusting foul comments about the country that took her in from the slime pit of her birth.
“I will not dignify it with an answer because I know that every single Islamophobe, every single person who is hateful, who is driven by an ideology of ‘othering’ as this president is, rejoices in us responding to that and us defending ourselves,” Omar said.
And Omar, he said, deserves to be rebuked for constantly criticizing America.
“She has this bitterness and anger toward the country,” Paul said. “So I think she does deserve a rebuke over trying to say we have a rotten country.”
Bureau of Land Management to move headquarters from DC to Colorado
I’ve been reading a lot about this lately. Only 4% of the employees are in D,C, and the majority of those are high-level managers.
Around 300 BLM employees are expected to relocate out West under the move with at least 50 going to a newly created headquarters in Grand Junction, Colo., and the rest divided among the western states of Utah, Nevada and others, a spokesperson for Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah) confirmed to The Hill.
And some other government agencies are planning similar moves. And the unions are trying to fight them.
The decision to move West comes as other agencies are also planning to relocate parts of their teams. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has moved employees around several of its offices outside of D.C., and the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave more than 500 employees until Monday to decide whether to move to the Kansas City area.

New Law Increases VA Home Loan Limits, Funding Fees
How many vets will take advantage of this. And how many Realtors will have the info to help them take advantage of the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019?
Starting Jan. 1, any veteran who wants to take advantage of the VA's "zero-down payment" loan program will be able to do so, even in areas with high housing costs where veterans have historically been required to make a 25% down payment.
Under current law, the VA's maximum loan guarantee amount is calculated as a percentage of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act (Freddie Mac) limit, which is $484,350 for most counties.

Dolphins, Unexpected visitors to a hydrofoil surfer
Large pod of over 100 dolphins surrounds boat in California
A large pod of dolphins was spotted off the coast of southern California on Sunday.
Chuck Patterson filmed the animals from a boat just off Laguna Beach. He estimated more than 100 dolphins surrounded the vessel with most of the mammals swimming on one side as it raced up the coast.
Patterson said they were driving the boat for hydrofoil surfing when the dolphins started following in their wake.
"They seemed super happy, you could really feel the energy," he said.

Here’s a real Owie for ya.
He goes to the home of his wife’s lover and cuts his penis off with a pair of scissors.
Must been a big, strong pair of scissors.
A Florida man was arrested after breaking into the home of his wife's lover, tying him up at gunpoint and then cutting off his penis with a pair of scissors. 
Alex Cesar Bonilla, 49, of Bell, then allegedly fled the scene with the severed appendage, WBBH reported. 
What the hell did he plan to do with what he’d cut off?

AOC to face Jamaican Immigrant for her seat
She’s not the only one running for the seat. John Cummings, a Bronx high school civics teacher is also in the race.
There will probably be more but, IMHO, Scherie Murray probably has the best chance. Not only is she a female but an immigrant with extensive business experience.
I think AOC is going to be dust after 2020.

Clear Majority of Mexicans Say Migrants Should Be Deported Back to Their Home Countries
This should come as no surprise.
A new poll conducted by the Washington Post found that the clear majority of Mexicans think migrants should be deported back to their home countries.
The survey, which was conducted in partnership with Mexico’s Reforma newspaper, found that Mexicans are “deeply frustrated” with immigrants traveling through their country from Central America.
6 in 10 Mexicans say migrants are a burden on their country taking jobs that should belong to citizens, the poll found.
55 per cent of Mexicans also support deporting migrants who go through Mexico to the United States, compared to just 7 per cent who want to give them residency in Mexico.
They take their food, fill their streets with their feces and trash, and no few are being offered work that Mexicans feel to be theirs. Mexico’s president is facing a backlash and has established all sorts of barriers to immigrants coming from the south.

The Four Harridans of the Democalpse
I’ve seen some interesting descriptions of the so-called Squad, but this is, by far, the best! The author then points out this:
All Trump did, all he is guilty of is telling the truth about how horrible these women are — how they appease terrorists; how they smear America as a country filled with concentration camps; how they destroy tens of thousands of jobs in New York; how they’re raging antisemites who despise Jews; how they’re preening, wannabe dictators desperate for personal power through socialism; and how, yes, they are straight-up racists…
And here was his main, enduring message:
Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.
But, of course they won’t. They’re enamored with their new fame and all the perks that comes with it.

India to deport all illegal migrants
No messing around.
Not just Muslims sneaking into the country from Bangladesh but everywhere.
Home Minister Amit Shah told parliament that the government would not limit its efforts to Assam, but would come down hard on illegal immigrants anywhere.
Shah called illegal migrants “termites” that he said were eating into Assam’s resources during the election campaign, Reuters reports.

Ilhan Omar’s Father & Other Somalian War Criminals Illegally Living In The US
It appears that not only is Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar under the microscope for marrying her brother, engaging in immigration fraud, violating federal law and being as anti-American as you can get, but now her father has come into the picture.  And it isn’t pretty.  According to a recent report, Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed (aka Nur Said Elmi Mohamed), was not only tied to the former dictator in Somalia, Said Barre, but now he and his accomplices are now living in the US in violation of federal law.
How in the hell does she get away with it?
And the others?
The Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) contains a prohibition on naturalization for anyone involved, within the last ten years, with a group that advocates or teaches opposition to all organized government; or involved with the Communist Party or any other totalitarian party of the U.S. or any foreign state; or who advocates world communism or totalitarian dictatorship even without formal group membership. (See I.N.A. Section 313).”
And here comes the big one!
So, the question is, why has Attorney General William Barr not followed through on Omar, Nur or Yusuf?
President Donald Trump has said that Ilhan Omar should get out of the US if she isn’t happy with it here, and I agree, but more than that, perhaps it’s time her crimes were exposed, she and her father and his accomplices were indicted and sent packing.
An aside. Was the president’s tweets about The Squad a feint to get information like this into the spotlight?

Trump administration tells federal agencies to be ‘rigorous’ in evaluating employees
In other words, tell it like it is. No more cut and paste evaluations.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has ordered federal agencies to apply "rigorous performance standards" when rating employees, calling for tougher assessments used in deciding promotions, cash bonuses and disciplinary measures such as firing.
"Agencies should ensure only employees who have demonstrated the highest levels of individual performance receive the highest annual ratings of record and the highest performance awards," said one of a pair of memos issued late last week.
And the unions aren’t exactly thrilled by that.
A 2018 OPM report showed that in 2016, 51.7 percent of the 6,600 career executives were rated as outstanding, 40.7 percent as exceeds fully successful, 7.2 percent as fully successful, and 0.4 percent as either minimally successful or unacceptable.
Are you telling me that 90% of government employees are doing their job that well?
Okay, here’s my 2 cents.
Employees are rated to make their bosses look good.
If you declare that someone isn’t doing their job up to par, the question arises as to what you, as the supervisor, are doing to improve that job performance.
Having written countless performance evaluations I can tell you that 99% of them have the same platitudes.

Marines tell Rep Hunter to stop using Marine Corps stuff in his reelection campaign
Seem to be getting pretty darned picky here. I wonder if they’re also telling him he can no longer say, “Semper fi!”
The Marine Corps Trademark Licensing Office has sent Hunter, a Marine veteran, a cease and desist letter telling him to quit using the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem along w
ith the phrase, "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy," on a fundraising mailer that accuses his political opponent of having links to terrorism, NBC News first reported on Wednesday.
"Please be advised that you are more than welcome to simply and accurately state that you are a Marine Corps veteran, or provide other information about your service that is based on fact," according to the letter, which NBC News posted online. "As an alternative, we do offer a 'Marine Veteran' logo (Attachment B) for use by Marines to indicate their pride
Hunter, a former Major, is in hot water over using campaign funds to support 5 extramarital affairs.

Small Town America lacking lawyers
This should not surprise anyone. Most get a law degree to get big salaries and eventually end up in big companies with tons of perks.
Who wants to work in Podunk for peanuts, maybe even having to take a second job just to get by?
While cities are trying to reform their criminal-justice systems, smaller, more far-flung locales are struggling to provide basic services.
Some of this can be attributed to the use of jails as a moneymaker for rural places with few other industries. Government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provide money for counties to build jails as a form of economic stimulus. Counties, in turn, build bigger jails. The space is used in part to house state or federal inmates in exchange for “rent.” Vera and other organizations have pointed out that jail construction isn’t a fail-safe path to economic development, especially because if jails close due to unconstitutionally poor conditions, the county is left footing the bill, which can bankrupt local governments.
But many of these rural jails house a large number of local defendants who are awaiting trial, as Keene was. According to Vera, while urban pretrial populations began to level off and then decline in the early 2000s, those populations kept growing in rural counties, eventually eclipsing urban ones. In 2013, rural counties had 265 pretrial detainees per 100,000 people, almost one-third higher than the urban rate.

'I was so livid': Disney heiress visits theme park to see worker 
Uncle Walt is turning over in his grave. I know from personal experience that he made it a point to go around the park every day to see how things were going and to talk to the employees. He cared about them and did his best to ensure they were taken care of.
I should point out that Abigail Disney says she’s worth $120 million.
As an heiress to the Disney fortune, anything Abigail Disney says about the brand beloved by millions worldwide garners attention. And she’s calling out Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger for his nearly $66 million yearly salary, saying he isn’t doing enough to rectify the huge gap between his own earnings and those of other Disney workers.
After receiving complaints, she visited Disneyland.
“Every single one of these people I talked to were saying, ‘I don't know how I can maintain this face of joy and warmth when I have to go home and forage for food in other people's garbage,’” she recalled, adding that this was not the work environment her grandfather Roy O. Disney sought out to create.
The corporation wasn’t very happy with her assessment.

Spygate, No painless execution. Home Emergency Kits, History Pictures, and more for April 4, 2019

U.S. to Cut Off Federal Aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
About time!
Hundreds of millions of dollars down the pits of corruption.
The State Department has made clear it was not just an idle threat. The United States will be blocking all federal aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras for their failure to address the flow of migrants. The move comes a day after President Donald Trump blamed the countries for being behind migrant caravans that make their way to the United States. “We were giving them $500 million. We were paying them tremendous amounts of money, and we’re not paying them anymore because they haven’t done a thing for us,” Trump said on Friday. Trump also warned he was ready to close the southern border if Mexico doesn’t do more to push back migrants.
Between 2001 and 2018 Honduras has received $180.9 million
El Salvador received $118.2 million during the same period
And Guatemala got the most, by far @ $257.3 million
Where the hell did it go to?
The one left out is Nicaragua @ https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/NIC that only received $43.57 million in the same period.

The Inside Story Of Spygate
Anyone who’s paid attention knows this story. Back room poliitics got HRC nominated over Bernie. The same dirty crooks then set out to sabotage the campaign of Donald Trump. When they failed, they set out to fight the will of the American voters by whatever means possible, including criminality at the highest levels of our justice system.
And for what?
Like it or not, Donald J. Trump is the legitimate president of the United States. And he will certainly be reelected for a second term.
Efforts by high-ranking officials in the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ), and State Department to portray President Donald Trump as having colluded with Russia were the culmination of years of bias and politicization under the Obama administration.

"This Is A System-Wide Collapse" -
Texas Border City Overwhelmed By "Surge" Of Central American Migrants
800 illegals released into the city of McAllen, Texas EVERY DAY. They’ve overwhelmed church and city facilities.
ICE shelters have simply become too overcrowded, and the agency, which can hold migrants for up to 20 days, longer than the 72 hours for the border patrol, has few alternatives.
There’s a bit of justice in this. If one follows the reasoning behind the massive increase of people from Central America massing at out borders, one has to look at the various groups that having been putting all of this together.
These people didn’t do this on their own.
They were organized, provided transportation at times, fed, and provided some forms of shelter.
This is an organized invasion of American soil. I don’t have the exact names but know several are financed by George Soros organizations and the Catholic church.

More SPLC Employees Step Forward, Claim "Systemic Culture Of Racism And Sexism"
Something many of us have known for some time.
And as the Washington Examiner's Beckett Adams wrote last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center is a "scam," which has taken "no care whatsoever for the reputational and personal harm it causes by lumping Christians and anti-extremist activists with actual neo-Nazis."
"“Outside of work," recalls Bob Moser of his days working for the organization, "we spent a lot of time drinking and dishing in Montgomery bars and restaurants about … the hyperbolic fund-raising appeals, and the fact that, though the center claimed to be effective in fighting extremism, ‘hate’ always continued to be on the rise, more dangerous than ever, with each year’s report on hate groups. ‘The S.P.L.C.—making hate pay,’ we’d say."

Rep. Ilhan Omar says living in Trump’s America ‘is an everyday assault’
My instant response is, “Get the hell out of Congress and move to one of s**t holes in the Middle East. We don’t need bigots and cultists like you here.”
…Omar, 37, is best-known for the enmity she’s stirred up over allegations American lawmakers supportive of Israel have been bought off. In a Vogue Arabia interview, Omar lamented her difficulties with living in America during the Trump era.
“It’s an everyday assault. Every day, a part of your identity is threatened, demonized, and vilified. Trump is tapping into an ugly part of our society and freeing its ugliness. It’s been a challenge to try to figure out how to continue the inclusion; how to show up every day and make sure that people who identify with all the marginalized identities I carry, feel represented,” Omar said.

What Does 'Born In The U.S.A.' Really Mean?
How many of us really paid attention to the lyrics?
I always thought it was a patriotic song about the greatness of living in America.
"Bruce started every show with a really rousing, anthemic-type version of 'Born in the U.S.A.,' " Christie recalls. "With a bandanna on and a cutoff shirt and the fist-pumping, it felt like a celebration of being born in the USA — when really, it's a defiant song about 'I was born in the USA, and I deserve better than what I'm getting.' I think plenty of people didn't get what it was about, including the president of the United States."
What was your take on it?

CIA May Stop Giving Classified Information to Pencil-Neck Schiff
A quiet aside to an aide by the president reported to the right people at the CIA and the info stream ends overnight. What can the House Intelligence Committee do without current intelligence?
Think Queen Nancy will bow to pressure and replace him?
Former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy predicted Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community might stop providing information to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff because he leaks “like a screen door on a submarine.”
Gowdy was asked to weigh in on Republicans’ decision Thursday to call on Schiff to step down as chairman of the House panel.
“Never seen that before,” said Gowdy, who served on the intelligence panel before leaving Congress in January. “We never voted to remove or ask a chairperson to step down.”
“Adam is a deeply partisan person. He did everything he could to make sure Hillary Clinton became president. And he’s done everything he could to keep a cloud over the Trump presidency,” Gowdy said of Schiff.

Trump goes it alone
I don’t think any-right minded person in this country expects the president to get a single bill through the House for the next 20 months. Not even renaming a court house or post office.
President Trump and his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, have realized they’re passing no major legislation through this divided Congress.
So, what will he do?
What to expect: More executive orders, more foreign deals sealed by a presidential signature rather than congressional approval, and more creative applications of the law — for example, declaring a national emergency to build the wall — to get Trump what he wants.

And on a similar note:
McConnell wants to go nuclear to stop obstruction of President Trump’s nominees
The Dims will do any and everything they can to keep the president from having anything that appears to be a win. And heaven forbid if a SCOTUS vacancy occurs.
On Thursday, McConnell floated a resolution that would limit debate time on the president’s nominees from 30 hours to two hours. The change would only effect executive and judicial nominees, and would not effect cabinet or Supreme Court picks.
Senate Democrats are poised to block the resolution, but McConnell reportedly hopes to use the nuclear option to bypass them.
Remember? Thanks to Dingy Harry, the “Nuclear Option” is a simple majority vote of those present. With Mancini voting with the president, McConnell has a 53-47 lead. There are dozens of appointee vacancies and a hundred plus judicial spots to fill.

Whistleblower says White House overruled 25 security clearance denials
Here it comes. The Mueller probe’s a flop so the Dims are out to get the president any way they can.
Cummings waits until 8:30am, Saturday, March 23, to call the closed-door hearing in which this “18 year employee” of the White House Personnel Security Office releases a highly-privileged list of people she felt were given security clearances over her disapproval. As if she is God or something.
The Swamp do you think?
Cummings said he will move this week to authorize his first subpoena in the probe, which will be for the deposition of Carl Kline.
Kline served as the White House personnel security director and supervised Newbold. He has since left the White House for the Defense Department.
Just read where’s she’s brazen enough to return to work!
White House whistleblower "humiliated" after security clearance report
What the hell did she expect? That her boss and co-workers would turn a blind eye to her treason?
The White House whistleblower told NBC’s Peter Alexander the supervisor moved files to a shelf beyond her reach. "It was definitely humiliating," said Newbold, who has been a White House security adviser for 18 years and has a rare form of dwarfism. "But it didn’t stop me from doing what was right."
They moved files? That humiliated her?
She shoots off her big mouth, knowing full well it was an attack on the man in the Oval Office and she’s whining about the results?

Death row inmates not guaranteed 'painless' execution, U.S. Supreme Court says
He kills his ex-lover’s new boyfriend, kidnaps and rapes her, shoots at her 6-year-old son and a police officer. Too bad the cops didn’t kill him when they had the chance.
He plays the appeals game for years and gets a stay with the support of Justice Kennedy. His latest ploy is to complain that a lethal injection will cause him pain due to a congenital condition.
In a decision that exposed stark divisions among the justices on the death penalty, the court ruled 5-4 that Bucklew had failed to present enough evidence to pursue his request to be executed by lethal gas. The court’s five conservatives were in the majority and its four liberals dissented.
Referring to the history of capital punishment, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the court’s majority that “the Eighth Amendment does not guarantee a prisoner a painless death - something that, of course, isn’t guaranteed to many people, including most victims of capital crimes.”
Does that mean that states are now free to reinstate electric chairs, gas chambers, hanging, or even firing squads?
We can only hope.

Trump Admin Pushes 9th Circuit Members Without OK from Feinstein
The old biddy is pissed.
She wasn’t able to use her “blue slip” prerogative, something that’s not in the constitution or law.
“I take it that without notice or discussion, the blue slip is essentially dead,” Feinstein, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in televised remarks on Thursday. “This change in practice not only harms the Senate, it harms the federal judiciary. And I wish we could’ve had an opportunity to discuss it. I really believe it’s a mistake.”
Feinstein, whose handling of the Brett Kavanuagh confirmation process still rankles conservatives, went on: “Before President Trump took office, the blue slip had been a Senate practice for nearly one century. And during the past 100 years, before this presidency, the Senate confirmed only five judges with only one blue slip, and the last one was in 1989 – and in 100 years the Senate had never confirmed a judge without two blue slips.”
Boohoo.

“Beto” O’Rourke is Phony Spanish?
His given name is Robert Patrick. He used the Beto name as a supposed endearment for names in Spanish ending in -erto. According to a Spanish linguist, he’s never heard the name used by Hispanics in more than 60 years. My Mexican hife, however, says it’s common in her home country.
The media is even being fooled by the fake Hispanic name:
David Martosko tweeted out a quote from the Associated Press claiming that “Mr. O’Rourke also spoke at length in his native Spanish.”
His largely Hispanic audiences seem to believe him with loud shouts of “Ole!” at his meetings.

The Army started allowing religious exemptions for hijabs, turbans, and beards in 2017, saying that brigade commanders had to make religious accommodations unless the commander believes the requested exemption "is not based on a sincerely held religious belief, or identifies a specific, concrete hazard ... that cannot be mitigated by reasonable measures."
This is even more disgusting!

Ratings a smash for Pirro’s Fox return
I watched it and she was amazing.
Despite Pirro’s exceptionally difficult Saturday 9pm timeslot, “Justice with Judge Jeanine” averaged close to 2.6 million viewers, handily crushing all competition. Beating CNN by more than five to one, she also obliterated all competitors across every timeslot and channel through both weekend days.

Palestinian Authority cuts medical care to its citizens rather than stop paying jihad terrorists
No wonder the entire area is a S**-hole! And, in order to get decent medical care, Palestinians cross into Israel – which accepts and treats them!
PA Ministry of Health Spokesman Osama Al-Najjar explained the cessation of medical referrals to the Israeli hospitals, starting from March 26, 2019, as follows:
“This decision was made in response to the deduction of sums [Israel transfers] from the taxes that [Israel] collects each month for the Palestinian coffers. He added that the cost of the referrals to the Israeli hospitals is $100 million a year.”

It Is Outrageous that Supporting Trump Is Dangerous
What has our country come to when a bumper sticker or hat causes so much rage by those who disagree?
What happened to the concept of respect for another’s views, person, or property?
My car, which has a “Trump/Pence” bumper sticker, was keyed. While pumping gas, a motorist seemed impressed by my courage to have a Trump bumper sticker. People have told me they are afraid to wear a MAGA cap or have a Trump sign on their lawn.
Having to feel so afraid to express our political views is outrageous. Democrats and fake news media have so twisted the meaning of “MAGA” and generated such hatred for Trump that citizens are afraid to publicly support the president of the United States. This is still America. Thugs who physically attack us for expressing our First Amendment right to free speech must be prosecuted.
Liberal Activist Tries To Ruin Elderly Maga Supporter’s Life, Ruins Her Own Instead @ https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/liberal-activist-tries-ruin-elderly-maga-supporters-life-ruins-instead
People got fed up and forced her employer to give her the heave-ho.

Border Patrol Has Apprehended People from 44 Different Countries
Ortiz says, “We actually don’t know who they are. So far, here in South Texas, we’ve apprehended folks from 44 different countries. These are from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, you name it. Uh…we continue to see some increases in those numbers. Most of the people we apprehend are from Central America, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. But we do see folks from across the world, and probably, by the end of the year, I would venture to say that number, will get as high as 60 different countries we will apprehend people from.” Deputy Chief Border Agent Ortiz warned, “Those are the people who are trying to get away from us.”
What kind of national security do we have when this happens?
And the Dims refuse to do anything about it.
The story also points out that while they’ve apprehended 120k, a quarter of a million has escaped and are roaming this country.
Jorge Ramos: Amnesty for Illegals, Migrants—‘Nothing We Can Do to Stop Them’ @ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/03/jorge-ramos-amnesty-for-illegals-migrants-nothing-we-can-do-to-stop-them/
Why the hell doesn’t he take the millions he earned here and go back to his home in Mexico?

“I Cry When I Think Back How Things Used To Be” –
What In the World Has Happened To The America We Grew Up In?
Nobody talks face-to-face anymore. It’s common to see people sitting at a table to eat, each one of them deep into their own electronic device.
What happened to the days/evenings when we sat on our front porches and shared the days news with friends or neighbors?
Now, faceless posters appear on discussion forums, not responsible to anyone for their vile and hatred.
And people are meaner and nastier today.
Earlier today, my attention was directed to a thread on an Internet discussion forum that lamented how much America had changed over the years.  I don’t know exactly why, but the posts on that thread really touched me.  Those of us that are old enough to remember what America was like before the Internet grew up in a much simpler time.  Yes, we didn’t have all of the luxuries that we take for granted in 2019, but we found joy in the simple things and people were generally much happier.  Today, we seemingly have so much going for us, and yet people are lonelier, more disconnected and more depressed than ever before.  The suicide rate in the United States is up 34 percent since the year 2000, approximately 40 million American adults have an anxiety disorder, and overdosing on drugs is now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50.  Clearly our society is not heading in the right direction.
