POLITICAL: The Democrats are trying to put a big thumb on the election scales

How Can Trump Win When Democrats Have 30 Million Immigrant-Invaders To Vote Against Him? – LewRockwell

By Paul Craig Roberts

*** begin quote ***

The Democrats Are Doing Every Possible Thing to Enable Immigrant-invaders to vote.

Democrats are passing laws to make sure that a non-citizen who just walked across the border has a vote equal to a United States native-born citizen. Immigrant-invaders are given federal IDs which entitle them to drivers’ licenses. Many jurisdictions automatically enroll driver license recipients on the voting list.

Two days ago California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill preventing local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls. The Democrat California government has made it a felony to prevent election fraud.

The Democrats call it Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEI is not for us racist white supremacy citizens, the American majority. It is for the immigrant-invaders who just walked across the border. The Democrats are the party of the immigrant-invaders, and tens of millions of dum….t white Americans will vote for the party of immigrant-invaders.

I’m not sure how to react or respond to this assertion.  It is immediately apparent that it’s true.  Just look at where the illegal entrants to the USA are being housed  —  certainly not in Nantucket, but in every “red state”.

Clearly, the criminals need to be forcefully extracted and kicked out.  That goes without saying.  Also, “birthright citizenship” and “chain migration” need to be eliminated.

To preserve the Republic, the welfare / warfare state must also go.

Strict citizenship identification must be enforced.  If India can do it with more people and more illiteracy, the USA can too.

It appears that the incentives of politicians and bureaucrats is not aligned with the best interest of “We, The Sheeple”.  Time for a “strategic realignment”.  Old (demented) Joe Biden has been in the Gooferment business for his whole life.  Time for term limits for all politicians and bureaucrats.  

And bureaucrats can’t have a revolving door with those that they regulate. Ditto for the military!

Argh!

RANT: Stephen A. Smith is right; Guess MLB doesn’t see all the gambling sites they advertise

Stephen A. Smith issues scathing verdict on Pete Rose’s MLB ban after baseball icon’s death aged 83

  •     Pete Rose is considered a baseball legend but is not in the Hall of Fame

Stephen A. Smith has blasted Pete Rose’s MLB ban following the baseball icon’s death at the age of 83, saying that ‘murderers have been let off quicker’ than he has.

Rose, MLB’s all-time hits leader, was handed a lifetime ban in 1989 after he was found to have bet on the Cincinnati Reds as both a player and manager of the team.

That meant that the baseball icon was never inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame before his death, and ESPN’s Smith raged against the treatment Rose was shown on Tuesday morning. 

*** end quote ***

MLB is a bunch of hypocrites.

All sports are now advertising gambling sites.

“Lifetime” is a long time.  This was the sports equivalent of a death sentence,

I’m sure no MLB executive ever gambles on baseball.

So, we could give bitches our money without congress, but WH needs congress to come back to get money for Helene for North Carolina and Speaker Johnson is playing with himself as he says congress is not coming back for one month; if Johnson needed money for Ukraine he would bring congress back for that as he prior did; so WH and speaker Johnson and congress are spooning each other as they collectively fuck the survivors of hurricane Helene…the congress, Speaker Johnson, and The White House (Harris et al.) are screwing the American people and damaging the survivors of Helene and now we have another hurricane Milton on its heels now at a category 5 rating (180 mph).

Yeah, when it suits them, they can “find” all sorts of money for their pet projects.

Vote them all out.

ENGINEERING: Sad state of affiars when “our” bridges can’t stand up to a little rain

Shocking video shows entire bridge washed away by Hurricane Helene floodwater: ‘Get out of the way!’
By Angeli Gabriel, FOX Weather 
Published Sep. 29, 2024, 9:22 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

Watch a Tennessee bridge collapse into the Nolichucky River on Saturday, when the river surged with floodwater caused by remnants of Hurricane Helene.

After Helene made landfall in the Big Bend of Florida Thursday night, the Category 4 hurricane drenched parts of the Southeast with torrential rains and dangerous floodwaters.

New video shows one of the affected areas was East Tennessee, where the Nolichucky River rose and produced a powerful current that picked up trees and other debris downstream.

The power of this current was evident when Kisner Bridge on Highway 107 in the town of Afton collapsed into the Nolichucky, which had risen high enough to reach the bridge.

“Get Out Of The Way!” said Landon Duckett, who filmed the video, to a man standing close to the river as the middle of the bridge collapsed.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, a “little rain”!  Was it a 100 year flood?  Hugo came through Charlotte in 1989 and it was a disaster.  So that’s only 35 years ago.  How short our memories are.  If I was in FEMA, after Hugo, I would have asked for a survey of the bridges that were most at risk of flooding damage or in such poor repair that they could be expected to fail.  Then, I’d offer to share in a percentage of the repair or replacement. We all know it’s cheaper to fix something than waiting for disaster to strike.  Not like they were spending the money in Hawaii or East Palestine.  I’d suggest that all Federal “Foreign Aid” be suspended until “we” (a) the care of our infrastructure and (b) eleminate the National Debt.  Let’s see how much “We, The Sheeple” want to send overseas for relief by reinstitution private charity like the Care Packages after WW2.

In cleaning out my old home prior to sale, I keep finding memorabilia that makes me sad.  Here’s a photo of Evy’s cousin for who she was named.  She passed away prematurely and I don’t know any more.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Springfield, Ohio is home to a Human Trafficking empire

Monday, October 7, 2024

https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/375011/feds-and-state-ag-investigate-an-alleged-human-trafficking-empire-run-in-springfield-ohio/?mc_cid=a27546f42d&mc_eid=0da2484634

Exclusive: Feds and State AG Investigate an Alleged Human Trafficking Empire Run in Springfield, Ohio, for Years by ‘King George’

*** begin quote ***

Dispatches from Springfield, Ohio – The story in this town is not about cats or dogs. It’s about mules. It’s a twin tragedy of migrant workers from Haiti exploited and locals from Springfield marginalized. Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled vulnerable Haitian migrants in unmarked white Ford and Chevy vans from Florida to Ohio, where they are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc. It is a secretive and sinister operation that has gone unchecked for more than five years. The mastermind behind this scheme lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court. His name is George Ten, but in that underworld, his nickname is “King George,” because of his opulent lifestyle of luxury cars, cash handouts and fast-talk. For years, he has operated his reign of alleged exploitation openly and freely out of a former mansion on E. High Street.

Asra Q. Nomani

*** and ***

What began as my efforts to track down a rumor about animal cruelty has turned into an investigation that reveals a malignant system of labor exploitation involving a local businessman, George Ten, whom Haitians and local residents call “King George,” the chief executive at First Diversity Staffing Group Inc., a Springfield company that has been the tip of the spear in the alleged trafficking operation of Haitians to the town. 

While Haitians have lived in homes condemned now with an “X” on the front door, he lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court in a ritzy neighborhood called “Estates at Country Club of the North.”

*** and ***

This is a story of unchecked greed and cruelty, committed not by the immigrants, but to the immigrants, with local residents of Springfield also a casualty.

As most journalists learn through experience, things are rarely as they seem. When the allegation of migrants eating cats and dogs exploded across the media, I knew there was more beneath the surface. What began as an investigation into animal cruelty quickly revealed a much darker reality—a large-scale human trafficking operation. 

I arrived in Springfield from my home in Morgantown, W.V., a town much like Springfield in size and scale. I wanted to get to the bottom of this story. I came to Springfield because I felt a connection to the immigrants and the locals here, both their stories echoing my own experience growing up uniting two worlds. I moved to the U.S. with my brother when I was four years old, joining our parents as they made the difficult move in search of a better life, and when I was 10, we settled in West Virginia.

Maybe DJT45 may have gotten the story wrong about animal cruelty, there is an underlying story that’s a lot worse.

He should make this a campaign issue about Human Trafficking and Election Interference.

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: “Tests” and school should NOT obsure the real purpose of education

Regular People & Their Amazing Stories
Posted by Taresa Strachan

*** begin quote ***

“I gave my 10 year old a math test today. He spent nearly an hour and used four sheets of scratch paper. He worked each problem with intense concentration. And then with a deep breath he handed it to me to be graded.

I quickly worked my way through the test and calculated his score.

“It’s an 89” I said, “that’s a high B.”

Immediately his eyes filled with tears. He had done his best work, given his greatest effort and had still come up short.

I looked at my boy and back down at his paper.

And then I ripped it in half.

My boy is amazing in the kitchen. He can cook a meal for the entire family without breaking a sweat.

My boy is incredible at putting things together. He uses tools like a skilled craftsman.

My boy is a founding member of the mother/son debate team, (I just made that up) he can persuade me into doing things I never planned to do.

My boy is hilarious. He is always the first one to make a joke at the dinner table.

My boy is a sensitive soul. He’s kind and gentle when that sort of thing is necessary.

My boy is diligent. He will work at something until he feels it’s as good as it can be.

My boy is NOT defined by the grade on his math paper.

When I ripped that paper up, I looked my boy in the eyes and I told him how I had watched him. How I saw him give his best, how he considered each problem and checked each one until he felt it was complete. I watched him erase and rework problems he was unsure of. I watched him pour every bit of effort in his little body into that test.

And I told him I had never been more proud.

Children are so much more than test scores. They are so much more than their reading level. They are so much more than the box we try to mold them in to.

School is important, education is important but it’s not of highest importance.

I am more concerned with how he treats others, with his level of integrity and his desire to serve Jesus than any score on any test.

I am more concerned with his ability to learn how to use his talents to earn money for his family.

I am more concerned with the character that we are building than the division facts on the paper.

Our children should have an opportunity to show us where they excel, especially in the elementary years.

I was shocked at the pressure he felt to do well on that test. I never imagined the tears of disappointment that would fall. I admire his ambition and his desire to do well.

I have never been more proud of an 89 on a math test.”

Just the other night I saw a seven year old ADHD boy master “counting by twos” page of homework.  He got in a rhythm, had fun, big smile,and was so pleased with himself.  I gave him a round of applause and he was even prouder.  

Not that he still won’t get in trouble for doing dumb things, but he says “he hates math because it’s hard”, I’ll remind him of “adding twos”. 

It’s more important that he seeks that endorphin filled moment of accomplishment so that when life’s problems face him  — as they do for us all  — he can slog through them without being discouraged.

I’m sure he’ll remember these formative positive moments long after his adults are gone.

That’s the essential human teaching to leave behind.

GOVERNACIDE: The death penalty is just morally wrong and fraught with abuse

Saturday, October 5, 2024

https://kottke.org/24/09/0045345-the-state-should-not-give

*** begin quote ***

“The state should not give itself the right to kill human beings — especially when it kills with premeditation and ceremony, in the name of the law or in the name of its people, and when it does so in an arbitrary and discriminatory fashion.”

*** end quote ***

The Gooferment should never be permitted to kill for any reason. 

I can make a small carve out for those humans that are just too dangerous to keep prison.  For example, there should be a Devil’s Island where murders, who attack guards, can be kept and never leave. 

The problem with the death penalty is that there is no “undo” function and mistakes happen.  Whatever the reason  — an “honest” mistake or some sort of discrimination  — a mistake can be corrected.  But not if the mistake is deadly.
