The Morning Report — 1/26/24

romneyhessborder.jpg

Good morning, kids. While the situation at the border may very well be or at least has the potential to be the black swan event that changes the course of history (for better or God-forbid worse), there is absolutely no doubt that not only is the border catastrophe the central issue of the 2024 election, but that it has sealed the fate of the Democrat-Left at least for this election cycle. That is, if we even have an election cycle. A perfect Rahm Emanuel crisis-not-to-be-wasted is if the TX Rangers and Feds get into a gun battle. And then . . . Hi-chee-wah-wah.

But first to kick things off, here's the combination laugh riot/emetic that underscores my assertion. It comes from a glittering jewel of halitosis-tinged idiocy named Jim Himes, an ankle-biting Democrat backbencher from Connecticut:

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSN[SDAP]’s “Katy Tur[d & DD] Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) stated that we “cannot have uncontrolled migration across the border. That is not acceptable. We see that here in New York City.” and “uncontrolled migration does put downward pressure on wages,” but this is the one issue Republicans have against [spurious fraud] President Joe Biden."

Himes began by stating that many Republicans “realized that the border is their one remaining political issue against Joe Biden,” and that’s why they don’t want a border deal.

In terms of the election, we have nothing to really fear from the Democrats. It's the GOP that is doing everything it can to sabotage Trump and tank 2024 if it can. Not only Trump but try to sabotage GOP candidates, especially MAGA-aligned, in both the Senate and House and hand control of Congress back to the Dems.

Later, host Katy Tur asked, “I was speaking to a black Democrat out of Chicago who said that she’s a Democrat, but she’s going to vote Republican because she feels frustrated, infuriated, in fact, with the way Democrats, she says, are handling the border, and the benefits and the help that migrants are getting, help that she says the black community has been asking for for decades and is consistently told there’s no money for. So, she sees an imbalance there, and I’ve heard that from others in various cities. Do Democrats — what is the Democratic response to that voter who says she’s gone?”

Himes responded, “Well, I’ve been in politics for a little while now, and you hear a lot of that, on a lot of different issues, we hear it on Israel-Gaza, when people get concerned about a particular issue, they say, this is what I’m going to do in the next election. Now, what’s going to happen is that, in November, I think, it looks like this is going to be the case, we’re going to have Donald Trump, with all that he represented for women’s reproductive rights and for chaos and attacks on democracy, and Joe Biden, you saw the numbers today, 3.3% economic growth. The contrast, you’re not choosing perfection, you’re choosing between two people.”

Emphasis mine and is this jag-off for real? Aside from Biden's intentional destruction our border and immigration controls that pose an existential and immediate threat to our national security, economy and whatever the fuck is left of our way of life despite 100 years of Leftism, according to Himes it's essentially a desperate nothing-burger of triviality.

And then, he ham-handedly tries to segue first the total bullshit about abortion then the blood-libel of Trump being literally Hitler and complete lie about 3.3% economic growth. That number primarily coming from the governmental sector which includes massive spending on Medicare and Medicaid. That's growth like cancer is a growth.

Of course, Katy Tur, with the silent "d" after her name and the screaming DD announcements on your screen, pretended to press him on the "Democratic response" but like all the other good little propagandists on MSNSDAP, her job is just to make him look and sound like the good guy. Newsflash to the Left: it's not working:

It started as a rumbling in Chicago's predominantly black neighborhoods on the city's south and west sides. Black Chicagoans are watching the city spending tens of millions of dollars on newly arrived migrants after years of unmet promises from the Chicago political establishment to black people in the poorest neighborhoods.

“All these people, I have supported every one of them,” Cata Truss, a 57-year-old mother on the West Side, says about Mayor Brandon Johnson and his progressive allies. 

“I was like, ‘Are you freaking kidding me,'" Truss added. She had just found out that the city was going to take over Amundsen Park — what she calls “the crown jewel of the community” — for use by migrants. Chicago prides itself on being a "welcoming city" — just not to black residents.

According to The Free Press, "Chicago has greeted nearly 35,000 new arrivals with resources like laundry services, mental health screenings, and $15,000 in rental support per person — all funds that Truss says could’ve gone a long way in Amundsen Park in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood, where nearly 28 percent of residents live below the poverty line."

Black Chicagoans are no longer trying to hide their resentment. They don't necessarily resent the migrants, although it's hard not to when the city is spending extravagantly on them. They resent the black Democratic establishment for allowing the situation to reach a crisis point with little or no input from neighborhood groups, who are the backbone of the Democratic Party in the city.  That's not the half of it. One of the most Democratic cities in the nation is seeing its black politicians booed by angry residents in neighborhoods. The bottom line is that the crisis is leading a sizable number of black Chicagoans to consider sitting the 2024 election out or even voting for Donald Trump.

This wouldn't affect the presidential race. Illinois is going to go for Biden no matter what happens with the vote in Chicago, but in statewide races, a falloff in support from black voters could lead to some upsets. And it's not just Chicago seeing black support dwindle for Democrats. If Donald Trump gets even 15% of the black vote, he wins in a landslide. . .

. . . “What the Democratic Party doesn’t want black people to hear is that this is a Biden policy,” says J. Darnell Jones, another plaintiff suing the city. “Biden is allowing the borders to remain open.” This resentment that Chicago's black community manifested is not a permanent realignment — yet. But no voter likes to be taken for granted, and black Democrats are reaching a boiling point.

Psaki-Psircling back to Himes, there is something alarming in his bullshit about how the GOP doesn't want to cut a deal on the border. At least the seemingly more rational, pro-American non-RINO scumbag traitors and leftist flunkies of the party.

Not to beat a dead donkey, but this issue is not just political/electoral dynamite but it can be the opportunity to finally put a major dent in the traditional minority bloc blind support of the Democrats, if not totally cleave them from their political slave-masters. And it's the fucking GOP-e that is sabotaging this as it has sabotaged anyone who has ever posed a threat to their seat at the moneychangers' table that is DC.

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell conceded defeat on additional Ukraine spending Wednesday night after former President Donald Trump’s decisive victory in New Hampshire. Now the Republican Senate chief is blaming Trump, whom he referred to as “the nominee,” for the destruction of an amnesty bill that Democrats cloaked as border security.

“The politics on this have changed,” McConnell told the Republican Senate Conference at a closed-door meeting. “We’re in a quandary.”

McConnell wanted to move forward with a deal cut with Democrats to provide more assistance for Ukraine in exchange for stricter immigration measures as border agents remain overwhelmed between San Diego and the southern tip of Texas. The latest framework for the border, however, would have green-lit Biden’s border crisis with the stamp of congressional approval by allowing millions more migrants to enter the United States without expulsion.

“I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump,” Romney said. “The fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is really appalling.”

But the border bill only promises to exacerbate the current crisis. The proposed expulsion authority included in the bill would only kick in after 5,000 people crossed the border every day. The provision would allow 1.8 million migrants entry every year. According to the House Judiciary Committee, an estimated 1.7 million “known ‘got-aways'” have escaped apprehension by law enforcement since President Joe Biden took office.

Eric Teetsel, the vice president of government relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation, explained on X that the Senate border deal was not “designed to solve the border problem.”

“It’s designed to pass the Senate,” Teetsel wrote. “It’s designed that way because it’s tied to the money for Ukraine, which is the actual priority for those involved” . . .

. . . “It’s not that they’re bad at negotiation,” said Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at a press conference Wednesday. “It’s that they want this outcome and this outcome is terrible for the American people” . . .

. . . Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul complained on “Tucker Carlson Uncensored” that GOP Senate leadership was more interested in securing the border of Ukraine than the United States. “Half of my Republican caucus is, as we speak, ready to sell out, and they’re ready to sell out fake border reform in exchange for what they really want, which is to send more of your tax dollars to Ukraine,” Paul said.

Before my eyeballs shoot out of my head like champagne corks, let is compare and contrast what this filthy criminal spouted with that of the other filthy criminal across the aisle:

Jim Himes: . . . many Republicans “realized that the border is their one remaining political issue against Joe Biden,” and that’s why they don’t want a border deal.

Pee-Air Defecto: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump,” Romney said. “The fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is really appalling.”

Two party system, my ass. If I could, I would rip McYertle's arms from their sockets and beat Romney to death with them. Rhetorically speaking, of course.

It's bad enough that they're still itching to have us go to war with Russia over Ukraine, arguably the worst kleptocracy on the planet that's already swindled billions from us so as that the Romneys and Pelosis of this country can fatten their stock portfolios. But the $32 trillion dollar question remains:

Why in God's name are we negotiating with our executioners about the date, time, place and manner of our own demise?!

As we have seen time and time again for at least the past 40 years, on every issue under the sun (global warming pun not intended) the GOP considers bipartisanship as its prime goal. That is, they never challenge the premise or sanity of whatever the Democrats want, but mere the speed and cost at which it is always implemented. And whatever they have wanted is always implemented. They never declare "HELL NO!" let alone "no."

The only thing that we should be talking about, nay demanding is the sealing of our borders, the ending of the incentivizing to come here legally or otherwise, and the concerted, unceasing non-stop effort to deport every single illegal alien who is already here, regardless of when they arrived, until every last one of the well over 40 million who are here that we can identify is shipped as far south as the Ross Ice Shelf if necessary or whichever third world shithole they came from.

Short of that, I am not interested in anything the GOP has to say on this. If there is going to be any compromising on this, let the friggin' Democrats compromise and let them declare to their base of scum and gibbering loons that slowing us down by 5% is a victory, "for the children."

Meanwhile, should Trump miraculously survive the GOPe and whatever the Dems are going to throw at him, he's going to run into the same buzz saw of insubordination he encountered his first go round.

he lesson I learned was that even your friends can screw you.  I also learned that people like to create failure for their opposition when they know they are going to lose.  Joe Biden is doing this right now, and what he is doing will most assuredly ail Trump if/when he wins the 2024 election.  Biden knows that Trump has a good shot at winning, so the president is using his time left and deliberately pouring syrup into the engine of the White House.

Within less than eleven months, and if nothing else goes wrong, Trump, as the newly (re-)elected president, will inherit no less than three wars, a flailing economy, a 34-trillion-dollar federal deficit, high crime rates across the country, a broken Southern border that has spilled at least nine million new people into the country without being vetted, and a Deep State that doesn’t want him to succeed.  If that isn’t pancake syrup gutting up an engine, then I don’t know what is. . .

. . . This is Trump’s reality.  He must not only prepare for the worst, but also be mindful that he is likely surrounded by people who want him to fail.

Trump’s team — his inner circle, if you will — must comprise competent members who truly share his vision of remedial care.  They must be consumed with but one desire: to get the machine running and to root out the impurities.  Javier Milei, the newly elected president of Argentina, has made headlines showing that it is possible to reduce the waste of big government, something Trump did not do in his first term.  He needs to make it a top priority this time around. . .

. . . The only question is how much the engine has been damaged by President Biden.  America is a resilient country.  I’d like to believe that no one person can do so much damage to a country as great as ours, but gosh darn it if Biden didn’t try like hell.  We don’t yet see the damage under the hood.

History will not be kind to Biden’s legacy, and that is why he becomes more dangerous with each passing day.  Don’t forget that Biden still has his hands on the levers.  Pray he takes more vacations in the coming months and not fewer, and that Trump doesn’t change his mind between now and November.

And that bit about his inner circle is his Achilles Heel. At least it was the last go round. Has he learned his lesson?

If Tim Scott is his pick for veep, as I fear it might be (Lee Zeldin in a bid to get NY is interesting and not at all illogical, if unlikely to garner the shocker) then there's your answer. Ugh.

Be sure to read and comment on my latest effort over at Taki's Magazine. It's a Lieu-Lieu!

Have a great weekend.

If America is a white supremacist nation, and has been since its inception, then by the very values of equality and tolerance that Americans cherish, America and its institutions are not worth respecting or defending.

  • "If they hold to their position of self-defense, if they protect the nation against invasion, if Biden loses in another appeal, the nation will be better off for their actions. If, however, Biden's border agents and the troops of the National Guard clash, if Biden attempts to seize Texas' Guard, or if other states send their National Guards in to help Abbott in his fight to save Texas, America will face her worst enemy: internal strife and conflagration."

  • “We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border. We do it in part because the Biden [junta] is refusing to enforce immigration laws already on the books and is illegally allowing mass parole across America of migrants who entered our country illegally.”

  • Douglas Murray: "This is a very serious breakdown in the political system in this country. To have a state governor say that federal law has broken down and that as a result, his state is going to take matters into its own hands is extraordinary. Except that there is a precedent: all those cities and states that also broke away from federal law in recent decades when they declared themselves sanctuary states and cities.. . . People might have condemned 'sanctuary state' announcements, but little to nothing was done about them. And it never is. Because in the realm of illegal migration, there is never any price to pay for encouraging it. The true political pressure is only put on people like Abbott, who are trying to enforce the laws of the land."

  • The issue with Biden taking control of the National Guard troops that Abbott has deployed is that it would present a possible violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, which bars the use of the military for civil law enforcement duties, defense attorney Davis Younts told the DCNF. . . The move would be “injecting politics” into military operations and “the DoD doesn’t really want to get involved in that,” a Pentagon source, who was granted anonymity because they’re not authorized to speak publicly, told the DCNF. It “seems very unlikely” it would happen, said the source.

Biden habitually circumvents, ignores, defies, attacks, and demeans SCOTUS — and Democrats cheer him on along the way. Senate leaders and 'dark money' fake media organizations like ProPublica have poured millions into delegitimizing and smearing the court to undermine its authority."
    Texas Isn’t "Ignoring" the Supreme Court, It’s Upholding the Law
  • "Texas is right. Biden’s failure to secure the border leaves states no choice but to take matters into their own hands. As President, I will end this humanitarian crisis once and for all.

15 The plan is definitely to set in motion huge catastrophes that Trump will inherit when he takes office. Then every department in the government will obstruct his attempts to fix the problems in every way they can, blaming their failures on Trump.

They want things to become even WORSE under Trump so that they can ride to the rescue in 2028 and seize absolute control of the destiny of every man, woman, and child in America.

20 Now, what’s going to happen is that, in November, I think, it looks like this is going to be the case, we’re going to have Donald Trump, with all that he represented for women’s reproductive rights and for chaos and attacks on democracy, and Joe Biden, you saw the numbers today, 3.3% economic growth. The contrast, you’re not choosing perfection, you’re choosing between two people.”
++++
There are two big political slogans that are treated as axiomatic by many in the political world:
1. "People vote their wallets."
2. "People vote their safety."

Biden - as the representative of the entire Uniparty complex - is a failure in both dimensions. They put up growth numbers based on inventory that wasn't sold during the soft Christmas season. Inflation is slipping up again. Layoffs in key industries are ramping (slowly for now). They can say, "3.3%" all they want, and it doesn't change what people feel when the bills come or they go grocery shopping.

And they can tell you that you're safe and free despite rampant criminality, but they can't make you believe it.

I commented on this yesterday, and I stand by it.

Gotta love politicians when they commit to the gimmick. This isn't a solution to the border problem. Not by any stretch of anyone's imagine. Sophisticated or naive, smart or stupid, rich or poor - nobody believes this is a "solution."

But commit to it, define it as a "solution," reject anything else as a non-solution, blame the opposition for refusing to solve the problem.

It's a childish manipulation trick that is transparent to the point of tedium that could only possibly work on other people who are in on the scam.

Because we're not. Or, rather, they're not.

They're negotiating with their partners about the time, place and manner of the demise of *us* - of "we the people." Not *their* - the ruling class's - demise. They face no demise.

48 Within less than eleven months, and if nothing else goes wrong, Trump, as the newly (re-)elected president, will inherit no less than three wars, a flailing economy, a 34-trillion-dollar federal deficit, high crime rates across the country, a broken Southern border that has spilled at least nine million new people into the country without being vetted, and a Deep State that doesn’t want him to succeed. If that isn’t pancake syrup gutting up an engine, then I don’t know what is.

Of all that, the final point is the biggest problem. And it isn't new, and it isn't Biden who did it.

You, obviously, have not heard of Russia. Russia makes Ukraine look utterly honest by comparison.

58 And that bit about his inner circle is his Achilles Heel. At least it was the last go round. Has he learned his lesson?

It seems I have to say this on a daily basis. Virtually everyone who will work with/for Trump in government is part of the system.

Remember that. Most of them see Trump as an aberration. He'll be gone in four years and we'll get someone else and the system will go on.

Anyone who runs for President - for any party or as an independent - who is not openly, and specifically, for destroying the system... will not. It doesn't matter what they did before. It doesn't matter how good they look. If they are not about destroying the system, they will not. They will not even try.

Maybe the Eagle Pass Park kerfuffle will change some attitudes but I doubt it. Possession of the WH is a delaying tactic. Nothing more.

As the rot intensified, as the natural shock and recoil of voters against liberal lunacy could be gauged (1972 Nixon, 1980 Reagan) the leftists took the long view.

Since the voters reject our message, we will reject the voter. This is why nothing makes sense. None of the “controls” on our political machine are connected to anything. The feedback mechanism has been severed.

I’m sure it’s all for the best, they know what’s good for us.

Posted by: torabora at January 26, 2024 08:20 AM (qkyXi)
++++
Contrails usually form at high altitudes, well over halfway to the cruise ceiling for commercial airliners, if not approaching it (26k feet or more). To reduce them, they must fly lower, which means the atmosphere is thicker, which means the fuel burn is greater and thermal efficiencies decrease since the environment is warmer. Not to mention that commercial airliners are engineered for maximum fuel efficiency, which includes careful selection of a cruising ceiling for various weight loads to minimize fuel burn.

So AI-powered contrail avoidance would require lots of dipping out of the maximum-efficiency band down into low-efficiency bands, then expensive climbs back out back into the efficiency band. How much would such a contrail-reduction scheme cost in additional fuel burn and therefore emission of additional Dread Carbon.

I'm just a rube and I can immediately see a massive problem with this.

142 It's expensive in lives and treasure but pulling Hamas out root and branch will be worth it. Hamas need to die, as many as possible.
Notice how NONE of the people clamoring for Israel to cease fire is asking for Hamas to unconditionally surrender.

Realistically if Hamas were to unconditionally surrender they would live to fight another day. They could treacherously break the terms of the surrender and kill in the future. As things stand now, they're all going to die. Which is the best outcome.

For Europe.

For the US, this *might* be a prudent move. I'd need to see the details.

We depend on natgas more than ever before, and feeding American supplies into Europe's maw while having inadequate production growth helps raise domestic prices (we also see this with diesel). Since we're not going to be growing production much anymore thanks to the government's war on energy, restricting export may be defensive. It's the wrong answer - we should produce more instead - but it's an answer.

Of course, it will also be another blow against our hegemony in Europe.

195 If it works out that way fine. My immediate reacition was that it would be a cutback on our NatGas producers. If it doesn't cut them and at the same time cuts the European hegemony that's a double good. - It's hard to conceive Kalorama making a pro-American decision.

Kalorama wouldn't, but they are not the only faction. They're dominant, but the factions have been running hog wild for the past few years, building their own empires and vying for control.

The president needs to be a frontman for the Party, but he also needs to be able to exert some authority. Biden is only a frontman. He's too demented and stupid to do the rest of the job. There's nobody there to herd the cats within the factions.

We see this writ large in a couple of areas. The Afghanistan disaster, the intra-Party war over COVID, the directly contradictory China policy, etc.

Pulling out now will lead to Iraq further disintegrating and the Turks going at the Kurds full scale. There are no good choices in Iraq and I'm sure Biden will chose the worst.

201 This is a great point about the undermining by the Deep State. The bureaucracy will continue at least (to put it kindly) on autopilot with a lot of left-wing programs.

In the first go around, Trump did not even put people in place at all (particularly sub-cabinet type positions) to keep any kind of watch or really effect reform. He really needs to answer the hard questions about what he would do differently this time.

I know that government dysfunction is very frustrating for the man, but I am not sure if he has wrapped his head around how big a challenge the federal government is as opposed to something like New York City of the 1980s.

As I recall, many years ago there was the Terri Schiavo case. Folks were trying to keep her alive, others wanted to kill her.

The killers got their wish, removing her feeding tube. And I remember how they kept saying that starving her to death was "Painless". Pain-free... for the two weeks it took before she died.

Maybe make that the next execution method? Just starve the murders. One last meal, sedate them, then sew up their mouths. Keep them in solitary confinement for a month or two, however long it takes to 'peacefully' pass.

236 The primary terrorist threat comes from small pockets of radicalized individuals or “lone wolves,” many of whom were born and raised in the United States or in Europe and would not be obvious targets for exclusion.

Unfortunately, there is also evidence that much-needed resources, political will, and capability are increasingly being siphoned away from addressing meaningful threats to national security and focused on the extremely low threat posed by people seeking asylum, economic advancement, family reunification, or otherwise traveling to the United States.

So there are 20 million people here in the US that we do not know about. We have to know everything about Americans but we need to know NOTHING about these people.

267 And then, he ham-handedly tries to segue first the total bullshit about abortion then the blood-libel of Trump being literally Hitler and complete lie about 3.3% economic growth.

3.3% economic growth with 20% inflation -- let's do the imaginary number math ...

268 This open border crap that the Junta wants is going to get “the most hated man in the country” Trump elected. Yeah I think that’s their plan now…. They realize Biden is hopeless and the one sane brain cell in their head has decided that the huuugggeee cheat needed to install again would be bad for them so they’re thinking let’s just create so much chaos that Trump will fail spectacularly.

The problem for them: Trump can fix the big things in fairly short order: he can close the border, start deporting and drill baby drill…. Just those few things and watch chaos and inflation both reduce noticeably…

288 "This is Trump’s reality. He must not only prepare for the worst, but also be mindful that he is likely surrounded by people who want him to fail."

And Trump should be saying that at every stop.

Repeating and re-emphasizing the clusterscrew going on right now to when he left office (including gov't spending driving growth with the tax bill coming due) and his recipe to fix it. AND the hardworking it will take to fix it.

Leading into WHY he needs Rs elected.

Tie everything together and leave yourself a way out should he not have the margins to get things done. Which leads to 2026 election of more Rs.

294 Arizona v US is the 2012 SCOTUS decision that says the Feds run immigration not the states. As I've said, there's a certain logic to this but who expected the head of HHS to throw our borders wide open to millions.

Written by Kennedy. Kagan had to recuse. Word is that Roberts flipped to make it 5 to 3 to avoid a 4 to 4 push.

Here's are the key parts of the AZ law that got overturned:
1. Illegals are committing a crime by being here illegally, and must register with the federal government
2. misdemeanor to work
3. police to verify status of those detained
4. authorise waarnatless searches based on probable cause

SCOTUS didn't say that this couldn't be done. Only thart the states couldn't

311 Saint of the Day

St. Timothy (1st c.) was born in Galatia in Asia Minor, the son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. Timothy was a convert of St. Paul the Apostle around the year 47 A.D. Timothy became a trusted friend and a beloved spiritual son to Paul, laboring faithfully alongside him in his apostolic work for many years. Paul mentions Timothy repeatedly in his letters and dispatched him on important missionary work to the local churches he founded. Timothy was ordained to the priesthood at the hands of St. Paul and was later made bishop of Ephesus. St. Timothy was stoned to death thirty years after St. Paul's martyrdom for having denounced the worship of the false goddess Diana. St. Timothy is the patron of intestinal and stomach problems, because Paul admonished him to ease his penance and drink a little wine for the sake of his health, instead of only water. His feast day is January 26.

(Paul gave good advice, no?)

Here in Hooterville, we are about 30 miles from a city of about 160K. News reports lately have been featuring arrests of Venezuelan criminals who are also illegal aliens for property crimes. The latest featured three couples plus children, a van with paper tags from a nearby border state, and the massive theft of items from a local mall. The men were roaming the parking lot, looking into cars and that is what sparked the initial report. By the time police arrived, the women were exiting the mall with shopping bags full of items with not one receipt to support a purchase. All were arrested. If this can and does happen so close to Hooterville, it must be happening across the nation.

344 Here in Hooterville, we are about 30 miles from a city of about 160K. News reports lately have been featuring arrests of Venezuelan criminals who are also illegal aliens for property crimes. The latest featured three couples plus children, a van with paper tags from a nearby border state, and the massive theft of items from a local mall. The men were roaming the parking lot, looking into cars and that is what sparked the initial report. By the time police arrived, the women were exiting the mall with shopping bags full of items with not one receipt to support a purchase. All were arrested. If this can and does happen so close to Hooterville, it must be happening across the nation.

353 Trump encourages all states to send their troops to Texas to help Greg Abbott. Trump is trying to start another insurrection! Are they going to kill the immigrants at the border?

Republicans controlled all 3 branches of government the first 2 years of his Presidency and couldn't fix the border. They wouldn't even pass funding for his stupid wall. The guy is a fucking joke.

He's acting as if he's the president of the Confederacy. Thinking there are some legal issues with his advocacy for insurrection again. a strong majority of voters don't agree with this, which is essentially a re-igniting of the Civil War. This will bite the repugs in November.

Sounds like Putin called him on the burner. Or Bannon and Miller. And half the time he's confused, like when he recently mixed up Nancy Pelosi and Haley. My friend and I were wondering how he's going to try to weasel out of debating Joe Biden?

I don't know how, but his handlers know he can't go on a debate stage as he can hardly keep his thoughts straight now.

Sergey V. Lebedenko, 53, and his wife, Galina A. Lebedenko, 48, provided daily rides to McCormack through their Portland limousine service and then made unauthorized and inflated charges of up to $34 million to his American Express card, according to a federal prosecutor.
The couple used the money to buy lavish vacation homes in Oregon and California and a $1.5 million executive jet based at the airport in Aurora, according to court records.

The Lebedenkos were arrested Tuesday, accused of wire fraud and money laundering.
Federal agents seized what Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Bounds called “eye-watering” amounts of money and gold from the couple’s homes in Portland and Sunriver while executing search warrants: $100,000 in cash, 150 ounces of gold bullion worth about $300,000 and 12 firearms, according to court records.

419 Dude. ALABAMA fans with Saban at the helm are looking at you and saying "WTF man? What kind of stupidity combined with horrible decision making is that?"
And these are people who are from Alabama.

Hey! Not all of use are one tooth having rubes who never went to kollege but we can holler "Roll Tide!" while catching Roy Moore signing yearbooks and cruising for teen poontang.

426 407. The administrative state is the source of a very large number of our national problems.

And voting for Donald Trump is not the cure for what ails us. I really like Greg Abbott's apparent willingness to tell the Federales "We don't recognize your authority to tell us we can't if you won't..." but I hope he sticks to his guns. That statement was a masterclass in realpolitik IF Abbott means it.

The cure for what ails us is an Oliver Cromwell.

Who's the Oliver Cromwell I can vote for, because I would like to give him my vote.

434 Amazing that the Supreme Court is rarely able to come to grips with the idea that the Executive branch should be made to follow the law and that Americans in general have standing to insist that they do so. It's almost like they operate as an unassailable body with their own agenda.....

Posted by: Erik In Texas at January 26, 2024 09:41 AM (QN7a1)

435 One issue?
Okay. How about his stance on abortion? The 2nd Amendment?
Meh, not important.

Different issue. Those "low level" contrails.
The truth was spreading about geo-engineering so they came out and admitted about them so it was 'we're using them to reflect sunlight to reduce global warming.'

Are they now backtracking and calling them low level contrails to back track on that,,, or something?

Laugh or whatever all you want. I've watched em start here and end there in the sky. One after another. Watched em just hang there and unfold, one after another until that entire section of sky was "overcast."
I've watched em stop, start, stop, then start and continue on so that there are a couple of small gaps in a single "contrail."
Gonna tell me those jet engines burped a couple times or something?

437 434. The Supreme Court is a branch of that same Federal Government you complain about every time you piss and moan about the "administrative state." Depending on presidents to appoint justices of a certain ideology is not the cure for what ails us, either.

Posted by: Gryph at January 26, 2024 09:44 AM (aCVzN)

438 It came out not too long ago that the contrail stories were true and the feds admitted they were releasing chemicals like IIRC lithium into the atmosphere.

Conspiracy theory = spoiler alert

444 Mitch McConnell had told some in the Republican Conference that this immigration deal was probably their last chance to get more low cost labor, because Trump would shut it down.

446 GM, all, and thank you, J.J.

Welcoming Immigrants and Refugees from Around the World. The basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores is central to our way of life — it is in our DNA. We believe our diversity, our differences, when joined together by a common set of ideals, makes us stronger, makes us more creative, makes us different. From all these different strands, we make something new here in America.’ President Barack Obama, July 4, 2014

Employment in Government, healthcare & service are the economic drivers.

% of wealth by generation & race IS a focal point. As one journalist recently wrote, If American was designed to be free of racial prejudice, why do Black and brown families continue to have only a small fraction of the wealth of white families?

AR Plan $ ' - C19 - is pouring out for housing "grants" for affordable housing, largely in combined minority & senior areas. Remove student debt, give child tax credits.

IDK but, from what I've seen time again, if enough (unaccountable) $ is made available, average people have a way of forgetting for awhile.

448 We don't need another bill to "solve the problem" at the border. We only need to enforce present law. Why won't Biden do that? Steve Doocy can ask Press Sec that.
