Illinois Governor, Cook County President Allocate $250 Million For Migrants, Chicago Mayor Absent
Chicago officials allocate millions for migrant crisis amid funding tensions

Chicago’s leaders, including Governor J.B. Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, have unveiled a significant funding initiative, pledging over $250 million to address the migrant crisis in the city. However, tensions arise as the city, county, and state collectively determine a need for $321 million to sustain essential services and shelters for migrants throughout the year.

Notably, the announcement lacks mention of contributions from the city of Chicago, leading to speculation about funding disparities and potential friction between city and state authorities”… (Continue to full article)

House Delivers Blow to Biden’s Climate Agenda, Votes Against Natural Gas Moratorium
‘Joe Biden would rather appease the radical environmentalists in his party than protect hardworking Americans.’

If enacted, Pfluger’s bill would amend the Natural Gas Act of 1938, giving the independent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) exclusive authority to approve or deny applications for the siting, construction, expansion or operation of LNG export projects.

And in approving or rejecting permits, FERC would be required under the bill to “deem the importation or exportation of natural gas to be consistent with the public interest… (Continue to full article)

‘I Have a PhD in Recognizing Bullshit’
Marjorie Taylor Greene Responds to FDA Expert Testifying Covid Vaccines Saved 3.2 Million Americans.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) declared at a House hearing on Covid vaccines that she has a “PhD in recognizing bullshit” in a rant that included no questions for the witness to whom it was directed.

Greene honed in on Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the Food and Drug Administration, and his support of vaccines, especially for young children.

“I’m not a doctor but I have a PhD in recognizing bullshit when I hear it!”… (Continue to full article)

China Joe’s New Favorite People – Illegal Chinese Immigrants
A news report claims the fastest growing group of illegal immigrants entering the United States along the Southern border is from China, with roughly 37,000 Chinese nationals apprehended at the border. Lat year alone according to data provided by the Department of Justice, 55% of Chinese immigrants were granted asylum in 2023 compared with 14% for immigrants of other nationalities.

Why do you suppose so many Chinese illegals are given asylum compared with other groups? And how many of those given asylum are young men of military age?

Nobody tells us that, but don’t you wish you had a dollar for every one?… (Continue to full article)

Biden Giving Veteran Healthcare Resources to Illegal Immigrants
Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) recently slammed President Joe Biden for prioritizing individuals who are illegally crossing into the United States over U.S. military veterans by providing healthcare services to illegal immigrants.

The Republican senator argued that the Biden administration has created longer wait times for veterans to receive medical care by using Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities to provide care for illegal immigrants.

“[Biden’s] decided, OK, we’ve got to feed all these 10 million people we’ve let come across the border, we’ve got to house them, and we’ve got to give them health care,” Tuberville told Fox News. “They’ve opened up care from the doctors in these [VA] community care systems. The lines now in the VAs are getting longer. Our funds that are supposed to go to the veterans are going to these illegal immigrants that are coming across.”… (Continue to full article)

Failing Elementary School Goes Full Commie, Defends ‘Abolishing Systems of Oppression’
A sad story about a California public school may sound like a satirical Babylon Bee headline but it’s true: An elementary school paid a quarter-million dollars to a Communist activist to teach its struggling Hispanic students how to abolish democracy and overthrow their white oppressors.

The public learned about Glassbrook Elementary’s contract with the “Woke Kindergarten” website thanks to a Feb. 3 story published by The San Francisco Chronicle and education reporter Jill Tucker. The school used federal funds, set aside to improve student test scores, to send its teachers to work sessions where they were told white supremacy and oppression are the barriers to learning, the story said.

“They’re training kids to become revolutionaries instead of instilling the knowledge they need to succeed in society.”… (Continue to full article)

The US Now Has an 85% Chance of Recession in 2024, the Highest Probability Since the Great Financial Crisis
A recession is likely to hit the US economy in 2024, a new economic model highlighted by the economist David Rosenberg suggests.

The economic indicator, which Rosenberg calls the “full model,” suggests there’s an 85% chance of a recession striking within the next 12 months.

The model calls into question the growing narrative that the economy is about to pull off a “soft landing” or “no landing” scenario this year.

Our conviction that the recession has been delayed but not derailed is still running at a high level… (Continue to full article)

Job Gains Are Going to Immigrants, and Keeping Young US-Born Men Out of the Workforce
We keep hearing that the US economy is strong, especially the job market.

At first glance, this perspective seems to be spot-on. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, right before COVID-19 hit, the fourth quarter of 2023 shows 2.7 million more people working.

Except all those gains are among immigrants.

The number of immigrants working over this period is up by 2.9 million, while 183,000 fewer US-born Americans are working.

Put simply, compared to 2019, all the net job growth has gone to immigrants… (Continue to full article)

“The madmen are in power.” ~ Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle

The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction.

That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still spends more on foreign aid than any other nation.

The latest foreign aid spending bill includes $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Continue reading →

As I write this, Washington DC is dealing with the fallout of two events in which two different groups of people had to answer the question: What is Congress for?

One of these events came on February 8, when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson. In this case, a collection of Colorado activists asked the Court to reaffirm the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban Donald Trump from running for re-election on the grounds that, back in January of 2021, Trump committed “insurrection” against the United States.

The fact that the various criminal charges against Trump have not yet gone to trial is of little concern to them. Instead, they argue that because the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution bars officers who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office again, judges should be able to remove an “insurrectionist” from the ballot as easily as they might remove a noncitizen, or a candidate who hasn’t reached the proper age.

Given the wholesale disaster that has been the Biden presidency, one has to wonder how it all happened. We have all seen the Democrat party become radicalized, almost purely Marxist, since the Obama administration. Obama promised to transform the country and he surely did. He effectively drove race relations backward by seventy years. Continue reading →

The second verse of the Bible states that the world was in a chaotic state. God then made order. Which is why the Left is undoing it.

It is impossible to understand what is happening to America — and to the rest of the West — without understanding the most dynamic ideology of the last hundred years: leftism.

We need to begin with the understanding that leftism (or “progressivism”) and liberalism are not only not the same ideologies, they are in fact opposed to each other on virtually every major issue. Continue reading →

Advice from Teddy Roosevelt on how to better see and approach the world.

I was recently struck by how cynical our society has become. This thought came as I encountered one critical comment after another on various websites I was visiting – it seemed like people found fault with anything and everything and felt the need to publicly express it.

It was discouraging and annoying – and judging from the responses of others, I wasn’t the only one who viewed these cynical people in such a negative light.

But then I began to reflect on my own life. Sure, I wasn’t the one making the negative, cynical comments online … but was I making them in conversations with my family, friends, and co-workers? Unfortunately, I had to admit that such was the case. Continue reading →

Monkey’s – It is what they have become!

How is it possible that someone is talented and involved enough to run for political office and win the election – but once in office, has no clue of the origins or purpose behind the very policies they are forced to consider? Specifically, policies dealing with comprehensive planning, such as Smart Growth, 30×30 land issues, energy, and transportation, all of which affect day-to- day life in the community. These are the issues that every city council and county commission in the nation is now faced with imposing on the community.

Yet when citizens attend council meetings and seek to speak out in opposition, discussing how such policies are negatively affecting their property rights, small businesses, and their neighborhoods, they are often met by their elected council members staring at them, with arms folded, scowls on their faces, and gavels in hand, ready to stop their testimony.

I saw an article on Dr. Joseph Sansone’s website about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin that exposed much of what the Biden/Obama Regime is really all about (the promotion of world government). I can’t quote the whole thing, but there were several relevant parts that are worth noting. Sansone did a good job bringing some of this out. Continue reading →

Title suggested by Jeffrey Bennett

Between 1852 and 1853, Charles Dickens published an episodic novel titled “Bleak House,” about a family waiting in vain to inherit money in a disputed settlement from an extremely long-running lawsuit. It’s about the undeserved suffering the High Court of Chancery in England created, mainly by venal, self-serving lawyers.

Dickens’ ultimate attack is not on the court, as he makes perfectly clear the workings (or misworkings) of the court that constitute the major evil. He savagely condemns that particular institution and the prominent issue involved: The system itself – the whole system of law.

Although the book ends on a happier note, the case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce in ‘Bleak House‘ ends as expected; lawyers consume the ENTIRE estate.

It was true in the 19th century; it reverberates through the 21st. Our justice system is based on centuries of tradition and legal wrangling mired in the self-serving and self-perpetuating practice of law.

Consider that last sentence… It’s the crux of this column. Continue reading →

GOP Lawmaker Leaves the Entire Congress SPEECHLESS with OUTSTANDING Speech

In addition to the serious national security concerns, there is a moral case for securing our borders.

Every year of Joe Biden’s administration, more than 100,000 Americans have died from drug overdoses. That’s nearly 300 Americans dying every day. Much of this tragedy can be traced back to the deadly Chinese fentanyl that is coming across the southern border. Continue reading →

If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’ Continue reading →

Fairly straightforward right? When there is no vision the people perish. We usually see and hear this in the context of leadership development, team building, and plan-making. Perfectly fine. Perfectly true. But there are worse things than having a bad idea that succeeds or a poor plan that fails.

In the absence of vision – forward-thinking, future factoring, righteous and good guidance – nations can crumble, the people enslaved, and generations lost. In the absence of vision, things can deteriorate to the point that “to perish” would be a welcomed reprieve. Continue reading →

Across the nation, municipalities have been increasing shelter accommodations, but many homeless people flatly refuse to get off the streets.

Tired of stepping over needles and human waste, and navigating around half-conscious addicts and homeless encampments? You’re not alone. Most decent, hardworking people want clean sidewalks for getting to work and walking their kids to school.

But cities are legally barred from cleaning up homeless encampments. Advocates went to court and won rulings, guaranteeing homeless people almost unfettered freedom to set up tents and live in the rough, your health and safety be damned. Continue reading →

It has been reported that China Joe Biden is in the process of penning a new book on the history of stolen elections – a subject he may be eminently qualified to address given his background in that area. Of course if such a book is ever written, it will have to be done by a ghost writer who signs China Joe’s name to it as he has yet to find his way off the stage from the last two-minute speech he gave. Besides, he is so busy deep-sixing any hopes that American citizens have for a decent future, which is his main project, that he will probably have to let any literary efforts slide for now–at least until he and his cohorts have managed to abscond with the 2024 election. After that it probably won’t make any difference. Continue reading →

Does anyone believe it?

The Founding Fathers made the Constitution palatable by including a Bill of Rights. Without the First 10 Amendments, the Constitution is just what its early critics, including Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, said it was; a dangerous consolidation of power far less representative of liberty than the Articles of Confederation.

The First Amendment was always a huge concern with statists of every era. Those who thirst for power, and will compromise themselves in order to attain it, have never looked favorably upon those critical of them. Continue reading →
