NY creates $2B fund to provide illegal immigrants with COVID relief
Fund to offer one-time payments of up to $15,600
By Megan Henney FOXBusiness

*** begin quote ***

New York lawmakers struck a deal this week to establish a $2.1 billion coronavirus relief fund for undocumented immigrants and other unemployed workers who were ineligible for federal aid during the pandemic. 

The fund, which was announced as part of a broader $212 billion state budget agreement, will offer one-time payments of up to $15,600 to undocumented immigrants who lost their jobs during the virus-induced crisis.  

*** end quote ***

Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk has just incentivized illegal immigration.

Who’s side are the politicians and bureaucrats on?

Certainly not the Taxpayers.

INSPIRATIONAL: How little we know!

Monday, April 12, 2021

A New Force of Nature

An experiment two decades in the making has provided strong evidence that the current theory describing the universe’s fundamental forces is incomplete, suggesting the existence of a fifth force currently unknown to science. 

The experiments, carried out at Illinois’ Fermilab, focused on subatomic particles known as muons—basically fat but short-lived electrons. Magnetic measurementsconfirmed, with much higher precision, tantalizing previous 2001 results that the particles’ properties deviate slightly from theoretical predictions. Scientists think the anomaly may come from an unknown interaction with the quantum foam—a sea of virtual particles perpetually popping in and out of existence. 

The chance of a fluke was calculated at around 0.0025%. If correct, the finding may suggest physics beyond the Standard Model—the theoretical framework that describes all known elementary particles but still faces a number of challenges (like explaining gravity). 

# – # – # – # – #

More evidence that humans know so little.

Maybe that should be the new norm for a know it all like me — muon — as in “Mooo on you dumb cow”.   Actually cows are probably smarter.

PEACE: Just declare “victory” and bring the girls and boys home

Cross-partisan groups urge Biden to stick with May 1 Afghanistan withdrawal
BY REBECCA KHEEL – 04/06/21 09:00 AM EDT 

*** begin quote ***

A coalition of advocacy groups for veterans and military families from across the political spectrum is calling on President Biden to adhere to a May 1 deadline to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

In a letter to Biden on Tuesday, the nine organizations argued the May 1 deadline “presents the best opportunity any president over the past twenty years has faced to end America’s longest ever war.”

“On behalf of our membership and veterans across the country who have answered the call to serve our country, we urge you to honor the sacrifices our troops and their families are willing to make on America’s behalf by not asking our women and men in uniform to remain entangled in a conflict with no clear military mission or path to victory,” the groups wrote in the letter obtained by The Hill. “Our members are proud of their service, but they know it is long past time for America to come home from Afghanistan.”

*** end quote ***

“Biden did not just support the war. He served as Bush and Cheney’s Senate gatekeeper and whip, guaranteeing a majority vote for the war in the upper chamber while controlled by the opposition party. If Biden had any moral courage at all, he could have stopped that war.”
― Scott Horton, Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism

So I don’t expect much from Biden.

I would urge every vet to speak up and get us out of this quagmire.  

It broke the USSR and will do the same for us.

Like Viet Name, just declare “victory” and leave.

GUNS: Biden will ignore the Second Amendment?

Sunday, April 11, 2021

Biden expected to announce executive action on guns
BY BRETT SAMUELS AND ALEX GANGITANO – 04/07/21 01:04 PM EDT

*** begin quote ***

Advocacy groups, including Brady, Giffords, Everytown and parents of victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, have met with Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice and Biden adviser Cedric Richmond in recent weeks.Anti-gun violence advocates, including some who attended meetings with Biden officials, told The Hill in February that, through executive order, Biden could eliminate ghost guns by defining what constitutes a gun.

The term ghost guns refers to guns available for purchase, typically without a background check or a serial number, that are not fully finished or may have a missing part.

*** end quote ***

It’s clear to me that the Federal Gooferment is prohibited by the Second Amendment from any action to restrict gun rights.

Everything they do is unconstitutional.

And thus null and void.

The Dead Old White Guys must be rolling over.

IDEA: Boycott MLB by supporting Little League!

This Is Biden’s Baseball Boycott
Larry O’Connor
Posted: Apr 06, 2021 10:40 AM

*** begin quote ***

You can start by choosing to attend a Minor League Baseball game… preferably a team not affiliated with an MLB franchise. Or, perhaps, a college baseball game. Even better, go rediscover the love of the game by patronizing your local Little League. And take the money you would have spent on tickets, parking, food, beer, and souvenirs and donate it all to the kids who still understand the game is about joy and love and competition and working together as a team. 

Even better, those kids stand for the national anthem before the game, they don’t have agents and they’re thrilled to play for the rich reward of a snack bag handed out by alternating parents after every game. It’s in their contract. 

*** end quote ***

Talk is cheap; especially when the action requested is so easy and fun!

See you at Little League.

POLITICAL: Sounds like bureaucrats covering their A-double-Q’s

DHS Erases Report About Illegal Aliens on FBI Terrorism Watch List Crossing U.S.-Mexico Border
JOHN BINDER
6 Apr 2021

*** begin quote ***

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has erased a report that detailed illegal aliens on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Terrorism Watch List and No-Fly List crossing the United States-Mexico border.

On Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency published a press release detailing Border Patrol agents’ apprehension of two illegal aliens from Yemen who are on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and the No-Fly List.“Two Yemeni Men Arrested by Border Patrol Identified on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List,” the title of the CBP press release read. By Tuesday morning, though, the release had been removed from the CBP website and has not been republished.

A link to the original press release shows up as an “Access Denied” page with a note stating “You are not authorized to access this page.”

A CBP spokesperson told Breitbart News in a statement:

The news release in question was not properly reviewed and contained certain disclosure and policy information related to national security that required CBP to remove it from our website.

*** end quote ***

I guess no one wants to make the boss look bad,

However, this has be more widely known.

Even if it reflects positively on “the bad orange man”.

INSPIRATIONAL: “… … most white people and ​b​lack people are awesome people”

Ex-NBA star Charles Barkley rips politicians for creating racial division
By Mark Moore
April 5, 2021

*** begin quote ***

“​I truly believe in my heart most white people and ​b​lack people are awesome people, but we’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods, we all got ​the ​money, let’s make the whites and ​b​lacks not like each other, let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other, let’s scramble the middle class.’ I truly believe that in my heart​,” he continued. ​

*** end quote ***

Man, I love this guy.

Every time, I hear one of his pronouncements I am astonished at how much I agree with him.

If he runs for office, then I’ll vote for him.

At least, he has common sense and a good heart.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Inflation: a hidden tax on income

Friday, April 9, 2021

https://buff.ly/2Pnn5AE

How The Nation’s Central Bank Is Covertly ‘Nudging’ Americans To Accept Digital Money & The Great Reset – LewRockwell

*** begin quote ***

Inflation is how government robs money from taxpayers.  For example, wage earners put good money into Social Security and 50 years later take out inflated money that has reduced purchasing power.  A $321 average Social Security check in 1980, adjusted for inflation, should be $7529.  Instead the average Social Security check is ~$1543 today.

Zang notes: “Wealth never really disappears; it just shifts location.”

*** end quote ***

I keep ranting about I have to live to 132 to steal back all the FICA that was stolen from me.

I’ve reported and cited that the Rate Of Return for “Social Security” is a NEGATIVE 8%.

Imagine how wealthy a society we would have if we were allow to keep our own earnings and plan for our own retirement?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Expect any Gooferment program to be done well?

Friday, April 9, 2021

New York’s vaccine passport program is already failing
The Cuomo-IBM idiocracy can’t produce a good product.
Jordan Schachtel
Apr 5

*** begin quote ***
 
Liberty advocates, rejoice! The idiocracy is going to save us from another form of COVID tyranny. Thanks to a combination of bungling authoritarians and decaying legacy corporations, these entities are simply too incompetent to pull off a functioning vaccine passport program. 

New York’s rollout of its vaccine passport already has the markings of a five alarm dumpster fire. The New York State “Excelsior Pass” vaccine passport system, which was created by IBM, has so many issues that I wouldn’t be surprised if the program was scrapped altogether before the end of the calendar year. It has massive security flaws, a shrinking customer base by design, it remains incredibly impractical, and it’s incredibly easy to manipulate. Excelsior Pass sucks, thanks to the idiocracy that was responsible for its design and implementation.

*** end quote ***

I’d expect a fiasco from the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk but IBM?

Guess they should have gone with Tata.

At least it would have been a cheaper disaster!

POLITICAL: Too much politics is killing everything!

Major League Baseball Risks Losing The Last of Its Politics-Weary Viewers After Moving Game Over Georgia’s Election Law
By Michael McCaffrey
RT News
April 6, 2021

*** begin quote ***

Sports fans like me are simply exhausted by the endless hyper-politicization of everything in our culture, and we look to sports to escape, not to be politically assaulted. MLB would be very wise to avoid playing politics any further and instead focus on fixing their ailing game and playing decent ball.

*** end quote ***

It’s killing any patience I have with the “theater”.

The NFL pseudo patriotism was a “big straw” in breaking “this camel’s back”.

Argh!
