Wee got thee monee!
Five of the Venezuelan migrants shipped from Martha’s Vineyard to Joint Base Cape Cod today enjoyed a shopping trip to a nearby mall.
A family of three and two young males – among the 50 originally flown to the exclusive Massachusetts island by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Wednesday – strolled around a Target excitedly gazing at the goods.
They were dropped off at smart Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis in the same yellow coach that had whisked them by ferry from Martha’s Vineyard the previous day to the massive military base on the mainland.
The bus also stopped at an urgent care center on the way to the mall to drop off five other migrants for evaluation after they had complained of various illnesses and conditions.
One of the migrants at the mall, Jean Carlo, 35, told DailyMail.com exclusively as he walked among the aisles in Target: ‘We are so very happy to be here at the mall and in America.
‘We are just going shopping, looking for household items. We are trying to set up our situation.’ (Continue to full article)
It’s easy to become discouraged about the state of our nation.
The “Young Heretics” podcast is truly an enlightening experience. In his latest episode, host Spencer Klavan talks about Book 8 and Book 9 of The Republic, where Plato talks about the decaying of a republic and, more specifically, the issue of tyranny.
Imagine that it is 10-20 years in the future and you need to do some grocery shopping. No longer do you pay with cash; in fact, there are no longer any cashiers in stores; everything is almost entirely computerized. To enter the store, you either scan your wrist (which has an RFID chip in it) or scan an ID card that identifies you; allowing you to enter the store. You grab your cart, which has sensors that identify the goods you put into it; providing you with a running total of how much you are spending. Then, when you check out, you scan your wrist, or ID card again, and the amount of your purchase is automatically deducted from your account. No fuss, no muss; in and out without having to wait in long lines with slow cashiers who can’t count the correct change, right?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is taking credit for two planeloads of migrants arriving in Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday. Pictures published by the Martha’s Vineyard Gazette and the Martha’s Vineyard Times showed the migrants in the affluent community where prominent liberals such as the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey and Larry David all have homes.
During an interview on Sunday, Harris told NBC’s Chuck Todd: ‘The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed. ‘We have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration.’
WASHINGTON (AP) — An independent commission is recommending that the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery be dismantled and taken down, as part of its final report to Congress on the renaming of military bases and assets that commemorate the Confederacy.
• We shut down travel from Europe over fear of COVID-19, but have an open southern border.

The American kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) continues to suck the American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry is powerless to defend itself against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.
The title is a curious military cliche that ricocheted through my consciousness as I sipped my morning coffee.
It has become obvious that our country is in decline and has turned into a third world “banana republic.” From Biden’s recent “Red Speech” to the raid on a former president’s home, America is being destroyed on purpose. The decline is accelerating and what was an energy independent country with 2% inflation has become no better than a dictatorship in South America.
Joe Biden may as well have been giving a campaign speech the other night, because his unity speech and all that concern over the soul of the nation sounded like a confused mishmash of pure grade “A” communist bullshit delivered solely for his base. He certainly wasn’t making any new friends in the ranks of any conservatives or Republicans, unless we include Liz Cheney and all the extremely liberal Republicans who were probably slobbering all over themselves in hopes of being granted an audience with America’s new Chancellor.
NOTE:
There is more truth about American journalism in the film “Kill the Messenger,” which chronicles the mainstream media’s discrediting of the work of the investigative journalist Gary Webb, than there is in the movie “All the President’s Men,” which celebrated the exploits of the reporters who uncovered the Watergate scandal.
