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)
