Dickens: Stereotypes, Generalizations and Bullshit!

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ~ Leo Tolstoy

It’s more than inconvenient… it’s a reprehensible truth.

Estimates say that there are over 20 million invaders – illegal immigrants in America.

These invaders are the hordes of people that entered our country without proper documentation by circumventing the legal immigration process. The number cited above is an estimate since there was no possible way to catalogue or inventory the huge number of people the Obama-Biden-Harris (OBH) regime allowed – invited to crash our boarders.

Smith: Americans Have Paramount Decisions to Make!

The road to tyranny is paved with cowards, criminals and commie thugs, propagandists, fat-ass traitorous bureaucrats, and the immoral actions of the depraved, reprobate minds who worship materialism and the new world order brand of soul-sucking globalism and hold a monopoly on the mechanisms for the control of our “intelligence” agencies, information and media and our currency, which basically gives them control of everyone and everything.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: America will not vote its way out of its current mess.

DeWeese: The Compassion Cartel Getting Rich on Poverty

Eradicating poverty is the most popular excuse for the expansion of government power. It’s a crisis! Someone must do something! How can a civilized people allow their fellow humans to go hungry?

The statistics on global poverty are staggering. According to the United Nations Millennium Project, there are currently 1.2 billion people living in poverty. Fifty thousand deaths per day occur worldwide as a result of poverty. Every year more than ten million children die of hunger and preventable diseases. More than half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 per day and 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. Continue reading

Our Shrinking Public-School System – …and there is GOOD reason for it!

Four years ago, as the school year started with remote learning in many districts around the country, particularly in Democratic-leaning cities, I reported a piece for ProPublica and this magazine looking at what Zoom school was really like for disadvantaged students. The piece focussed on Shemar, a seventh grader in Baltimore who had grown deeply isolated since schools had closed the previous March, and who only occasionally logged on to his online classes. “That homeschooling is not going to get it,” his grandmother said.

Shemar would not return to in-person schooling until the following year, the end of an almost-eighteen-month hiatus. His struggles to engage since then have been unsurprising, and have been shared by countless other students. I have written several more pieces for The New Yorker and ProPublica on the lingering consequences of the closures, including learning loss and chronic absenteeism. Continue reading

Dickens: Lies, Lies, Lies and MORE Lies!

“The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those that speak it.” ~ George Orwell

Several of us suffered the ignominy and revulsion of the political rallies these past few weeks. I was particularly dumbfounded by the free-flowing falsehoods from the Nationalist American Socialist Party (NASP). You may know them as the Democrat Party, but there is nothing democratic about this new political blight on our republic. They have transformed this political party into agents for Karl Marx and everything he envisioned in his communist manifesto and treatises on social re-engineering.

I’ve long maintained that the NASP intends to pervert our republic to communism. Continue reading

The Continued INVASION of America… The Insanity Will NOT End

“Do joo wan tacos?” 

 

Presented With Rise in Border Crossings, Kamala Harris Chose a Long-Term Approach to the Problem
Biden, watching tens of thousands of migrants from Central America reach the U.S.-Mexico border just a few months into his administration, tapped his second-in-command to help address the influx — a decision that has exposed Vice President Kamala Harris to one of her biggest political liabilities.

In grappling with migration, Harris proceeded cautiously. She focused her time and prestige on boosting private investment in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, the so-called Northern Triangle; her goal was to help create jobs to bolster economies and dissuade migrants from making the perilous journey to the United States.

It was a decidedly long-term — and limited — approach to a humanitarian crisis, and it has allowed Republicans to tie her to the broader fight over the border. While migration from the Northern Triangle ebbed, it surged from other nations, sparking an emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, one that Republicans have aggressively sought to exploit at Harris’ expense… (Continue to full article)

Immigrants Becoming Citizens at Breakneck Speed as Election Approaches
3.3 million immigrants have become US citizens since Biden took office. The federal government is processing U.S. citizenship applications at its fastest pace in decades, with thousands of immigrants becoming newly minted citizens every week, possibly helping sway the result of November’s election.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is taking an average of 4.9 months to process naturalization applications in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, a pace not seen since 2013 and 2014, according to a report from the New York Times.

The under five-month average processing time is a far cry from that pace set just three years ago, when it took roughly 11.5 months for authorities to process a naturalization application… (Continue to full article)

Majority of Americans Want Troops Sent to Border, Oppose Illegal Immigration
Polls are consistently showing two key indictments on the Biden-Harris administration border policy: Americans not only overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigration but also want troops sent to the southern border and the border secure.

Two new recent polls support this trend, although polls have consistently shown that Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of Vice President Kamala Harris’ job as “border czar.”

A new Napolitan News Service poll found that 84% of registered voters believe “illegal immigration is bad for the United States” compared to only 12% who say it is good… (Continue to full article)

US Increases Scrutiny Over Chinese Land Purchases Near Military Bases
States and federal governments are increasingly concerned over real estate purchases made by foreign nationals from adversarial countries.

The windswept town of Cheyenne, Wyoming, known for its cowboy culture, doesn’t seem like the kind of place anyone would need to worry about geopolitical espionage.

Yet, the Biden administration was concerned enough in May to make a rare move and issue an executive order shutting down MineOne Partners Ltd. and its affiliates. The firms are majority-owned by Chinese nationals.
The 12-acre site, purchased in 2022, is a mile away from Warren Air Force Base, home to the U.S. Minuteman III nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.

If not for a public tip, the federal government would not have known about the crypto mine site, which uses computers to mine Bitcoins… (Continue to full article)

Illegal Immigrants Arrested on Military Base for Trespassing Walk Free After Posting Five-Figure Bail
Two Jordanian nationals in the country illegally and who were arrested for trespassing on a Marine Corps base in Virginia have been released from federal custody after posting bond, federal officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official confirmed to Fox News Digital that Hasan Yousef Hamdan and Mohammad Khair Dabous were allowed to bond out by an immigration judge in June. The two men were arrested in May in Virginia. Both men are expected to appear in a Virginia federal court in September.

Biden’s DHS is carrying out the little-known program, where illegal aliens from Cameroon who were deported by the Trump administration are now being flown back into the United States despite having been found to have invalid asylum claims… (Continue to full article)

America’s Migrant Gang Invasion MAPPED
Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.

“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.

The staff interim report also found that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 migrants on the watchlist who entered illegally, and that Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks – including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals

House Judiciary Report: Biden-Harris Admin Releasing Known, Suspected Terrorists Into US
Biden-Harris administration policies are resulting in Border Patrol agents releasing known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) into the U.S., a new congressional report states.

“The open-borders policies of Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States, including terrorist organizations and other bad actors looking to harm Americans,” creating a national security threat, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement said in a new interim report

Of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released nearly 100 of them, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States… (Continue to full article)

Cochise County Sheriff on Biden, Harris and Congress: ‘Nobody’s listening’
Cochise County, Arizona, Sheriff Mark Dannels said he’s never been able to meet with President Joe Biden or his border czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, the entire time they’ve been in office.

“My community’s tired,” he said. “My community’s frustrated over the last three and a half years with what we’ve dealt with … when it comes to crime and the policies that have failed this country; the policies have failed our citizens, and the tragedies that my neighbors are addressing silently, because nobody’s listening.”

Over the last 31 months, his office booked 3,762 people in the county jail for border-related crimes… (Continue to full article)

Illegal immigration in Texas has Dropped Almost 90% since December
The number of illegal crossings into the United States through the Texas-Mexico border is down 87%, according to a local official.

Mike Banks, Special Advisor on Border Matters under Gov. Greg Abbott said that, as the number of encounters has slowed down, the federal government has opted to temporarily move agents out of Texas to other ports of entry in Arizona, California and New Mexico.

“We’re here to say, ‘don’t try it in Texas,’ We’re not going to accept illegal entries into the state of Texas. You’re going to come legally, or you’re not going to come.” – Mike Banks, Special Advisor on Border Matters (Continue to full article)

Washington Spends About $3 Billion a Year on Food Stamps for Noncitizens
Every year, the United States has allowed between 1.47 million to 1.86 million noncitizens to receive food stamps from the federal government at a taxpayer cost of almost $3 billion a year.

That is according to annual reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program.

Benson: Reuniting America? Forget it!

There was a time when America might have been mostly reunited. That time is gone. You will never come close to reuniting this country again. We have let in too many foreigners who refuse to assimilate and who want to remake America into their own image and will not be satisfied with anything less. And we’ve done that on purpose. No matter how much Trump or others try to make us all one people again it will not happen. Continue reading

Whitehead: The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ~ Neil Postman

What you smell is the stench of a dying republic – Our dying republic.

We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic.

In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens).

Smith: Fight Back and Fight to Win

The U.S. government tries to tell us all that there is never any justification for Americans to resort to violence, simply because they don’t want us to get used to the idea, for fear we will actually one day rise up against them. But they don’t hold the lock on violence. This nation was birthed and born through violence, and while it may be something many are reluctant to consider, it must be fully considered, and all who wish to remain free and safe must be resolved to use violence when all other alternatives have been exhausted.

If ever there were new intolerable acts in our country to see and endure, we have experienced them under this regime, and we have no real recourse, since our objections are ignored and discarded, and the regime continues merrily along its lawless destructive anti-American path. Continue reading

Beaucoup Dien Cai Dau

“A nation can survive its’ fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.” ~ Cicero 106 BCE, 43 BCE

When School Doors Opened, Battle Began Over Filling Minds and Souls

As a new school year gets under way across the country, there’s litigation everywhere in a moral fight over defining good and evil.

A school bulletin board, filled with left-wing propaganda, in a California public school.

Approximately half the U.S. states are suing the Biden administration for rewriting Title IX, the landmark women’s rights legislation, to include boys who identify as girls.

Louisiana is being sued for its new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be placed in all classrooms, and some public schools are pushing back against Oklahoma state superintendent Ryan Walters for his order that the Bible be incorporated into teachers’ lesson plans.

Christians are subject to courtroom interpretations of the Establishment Clause, a provision in the First Amendment which prohibits government from “establishing” a religion. Continue reading

This Virginia Training Hub for DoD Workers Is Attracting an Unlikely Workforce: Afghan Refugees

Danville, Virginia’s workforce training program has an accelerated timeline, which is ideal for adult students who want to learn a new career.

Jeff, the attached article is so disturbing on many levels I could probably write pages. Instead I’ll just include a few of the more obvious glaring issues.

             Washington – Do You THINK That He is PISSED?

* Why the hell don’t they recruit US Citizens? Why are we always placed at the back of the buss but expected to pay for everything? This isn’t even a Diversity Hire. It’s a complete sellout to all US Citizens.

* Can a man whom abandoned his family ever be trustworthy enough to hold TSC clearance and build nuclear submarines?

* Is it remotely possible to train anyone to a high-enough skill level for this job in sixteen weeks? I completed a BSc in Industrial Engineering. I promise you, it’s impossible. Worse, many of their candidates don’t even hold HS degrees. So, their building nuclear submarines and never completed HS Algebra? You cannot learn machining, welding, metrology, plant layout, etc. and go build anything of quality in sixteen weeks. Even more so if you don’t speak English with no foundational education.

* They need 100K skilled non-American workers over the next ten years. What the hell kind of a war are they expecting, I mean, creating?

* Notice our malevolent benefactors have plenty of cash to invest into their goddamned war plans, but only scraps for the rest of us.

* What the hell kind of a reality are we living in?

I hope to hell the aspiring Sailors are informed about the junk-heaps they’ll be serving inside before they sign the dotted line. Seems like the Navy tried this before and it resulted in the loss of a Sub or two.

Sincerely,
D. Hogan

The $1.2 Trillion Debt Bomb at the Center of the US Economy

Right now there is a debt bomb at the center of the U.S. economy, with commercial real estate in this country in total free fall.

Visit any mainstream commercial building here in New York: On the ground floor you have restaurants, Starbucks, boutique bakeries, and so on, and it looks nice. But go up the elevator, and you’ll find floor, after floor, after floor, after floor of emptied-out office space. Continue reading
