Some Thoughts on the Charlotte Murder

Note from Ace: While we wait to hear about Charlie Kirk, and wait for the next MSNBC incitement to leftwingers to assassinate more Republican normies, TJM has some thoughts about the Iryna Karutska slaying.

So, I live outside of Charlotte, NC, but I simply don't consume local news. I never have, no matter where I've lived. I'm just not of the generation that reads local newspapers or watches local broadcast news. However, the story of Iryna Zarutska has fascinated me, and I think it's partially driven by a small discussion my wife, Dolley, and I had when we first moved to the area.

We moved to the city's environs because she got a major job offer from a major employer. We didn't want to pay Mecklenburg County house prices, so we ended up settling on a house in a rural/suburban area in an outlying county. Then the discussion started about how she would get to work. She eventually just settled on driving (I work remotely for a company based in another city and can work anywhere), but for a time she looked into using the light rail, the same light rail that Zarutska was murdered on.

So, it's caught my eye since news of it first broke in the final week of August.

Of course, it didn't actually blow up as a news story until this weekend when the police released the footage from the train of the murder. Not footage that's hard to parse with crowds or action in the corner of a frame. Center-frame violent murder, even with the actual second of the act cut out in the initial release (the actual murder footage has also been released, and it's...brutal), the image of Decarlos Brown's arm fully extended and swooping in with a knife to an unsuspecting girl is potent, the kind a written description will never be.

And it did blow up. It blew up on social media. News organizations ignored it as long as possible, hoping it would go away, but once Elon Musk xeeted about it a dozen times and even President Trump mentioned it more than once, and the mayor of Charlotte put out a statement on it, the media finally felt the need to report it, mostly framing it as nasty MAGAts using murder to advance a narrative.

The centerpiece of this reaction has to been Sex Machine Brian Stetler's rant about how the murder wasn't newsworthy (also that the attention to the story is racist because leftist logic).

And it got me thinking. What is newsworthy?

Well, here's what the Columbia School of Journalism defines as newsworthy by Jack Fuller:

My proposed definition of news includes several elements that are not wholly subjective (though this does not mean they are unambiguous): timeliness, interest for a given community, significance. These look beyond the journalists' personal preferences outward to phenomena in the world that can be discussed, if not measured.

Was the murder of Zarutska these three things? Was it timely? Well, the video was new news, kind of like the newest addition to an ongoing investigation, so I think it counts there. Was it of interest for a given community? Was it significant? These two require some digging.

Significance

Let's talk about this slightly out of order because the second point is meatier. The third point, of significance, is interesting.

According to the CDC there are an average of 18.8 murders a day in America. Roughly one-nineteenth of these from one day flooding the news more than two weeks after the event, which means that roughly 300 murders have happened since, making Zarustka's murder one of three hundred since it happened. From purely a murder point of view, that doesn't seem that significant.

Well, what other parts of the story are there?

There's the fact that Zarustka was a Ukrainian immigrant, a refugee from a war that the media has demanded our attention, treasure, and even blood to fight for about three years. That's significant. There's the fact that Decarlos Brown was released fourteen previous times from arrest based on his own behavior. That's significant.

There are these specific facts about the case that just make it different from most murders in America (most of which seem to related to gang activity). It's a different story. It has specific points of fact that make it interesting in the sea of other murders.

And yes, Iryna was a pretty girl, but that's obviously not enough. A few months before, a North Carolina girl, Logan Federico, was murdered in South Carolina in a home invasion, the perpetrator, Alexander Dickey, also a multi-time felon, shot her dead. And it was mostly forgotten the second it happened. Heck, Iryna's story has popped up twice, the first time it was mostly forgotten after half a news cycle, only given that much breath because of her status as a Ukrainian refugee, before everyone had moved on in late August.

And then the video surfaced. Images are powerful things, and that video was a powerful image.

One might even call it significant.

Interest for a Given Community

So, what community? When talking about the national news, we're talking about the community of collective Americans. Community may not be the best word for our progressively balkanized nation, but it works well enough for this question.

So, is this story, the story of a Ukrainian refugee murdered in cold blood by a man arrested fourteen times before, including in January, an arrest that his own mother admits should have kept him off the streets for a long time, at what is hopefully the tail end of progressive efforts to release misdemeanors without punishment and reclassify felonies as misdemeanors, of interest to the American community?

All I see are "narratives" that have been swirling for literally years coming to a head in a single story. The Ukraine War, anti-policing efforts, urban decay, along with other tangential stories like Trump using the National Guard to tamp down on crime in DC.

How could this not be of interest to the larger community? It has everything.

And I think that's key to understanding why the story has legs despite the larger news organizations trying to quietly ignore it. They'll trumpet George Floyd's death, trying to create a movement, but they'll ignore the anti-George Floyd death because it doesn't help their policy preferences and preferred political party.

And yet, the news story spread precisely because it was newsworthy and there are avenues for the mass media's audience to share news stories that the mass media don't want shared.

Anyway, that's why I think the story of Iryna Zarutska's murder on the Charlotte rail line by Decarlos Brown was newsworthy.

44 Skye Valadez, an artist from Ogden, Utah, is facing significant backlash following the release of his controversial digital album titled "Death to American Scum" in April. The album features a provocative track named "Charlie Kirk"s death isn"t enough for me," which has drawn widespread condemnation.

Valadez, who operates under the music project name "God"s Finest Scalpel," previously uploaded a song to Soundcloud called "Charlie Kirk Dead at 31," which has since been removed from the platform. The provocative nature of his work has sparked outrage among various political and social circles, particularly given Kirk"s prominence as a conservative commentator and activist.

That's very odd. For years this fat puddle of gooey ooze -- and all those like him -- have argued endlessly that the only murders that anyone cares about, and which are newsworthy, are murders of pretty white girls.

And for a while, that was 100% true. People did care more about the murder of a pretty white girl than some black gangbanger or white trailer trash.

But then this changed because the murderers killing pretty white girls were almost always ... errr ... darker skinned. So we suddenly had to stop caring about murders of pretty white girls because of who was murdering them.

I'll summarize, if cross-racial homicides were the lottery black males win the jackpot at 4 times their population %.

Van Jones et al think the tragedy of the slaughter of the woman is that Decarlos Brown is being kept from finding his best self.

The casual regard for everyone else's safety that democrats engage in is touching and all-inclusive.

The biggest victim of black criminal excellence is not actually the cross-racial asians, whites, and hispanics....no they also take the excellence to their own race at a higher rate.

The decarceration movement starts from an evil and indefensible posit-that any rendering of justice that has the black criminal population over 13% can only be so because of systemic systemism based bigotry.

As in all things they conflate team sports and individual activities to the destruction of civil order.

You're welcome.

62 There's the fact that Zarustka was a Ukrainian immigrant, a refugee from a war that the media has demanded our attention, treasure, and even blood to fight for about three years. That's significant. There's the fact that Decarlos Brown was released fourteen previous times from arrest based on his own behavior. That's significant.

That's what settles it for me, too.

The irony of fleeing Ukraine because it's dangerous and getting murdered by some psycho on your way home from work, is at least worth a story.

Only, there's no way to spin this as "right-caused" like there is when (ala CP) "a Democrat guns down another Democrat". If she were shot, you can bet that fleeing to "gun-crazy America" would be the IRONIC take.

But it gets worse. The left took these already dangerous lunatics and pumped them full of powerful experimental drugs. Then the left assured them the reason they're not happy is all the fault of X and Y. And if they got rid of X and Y, they'd be happy.

The left basically created programmable assassins. I did think, though, that the target of tranny rage and violence would be their parents and doctors -- the ones probably most responsible for their condition and thus all their rage and anger. I was wrong. Or at least it's taking longer than I thought.

Black criminal excellence victimized everyone, that is not cuckery it is math.

The fact that we have reached the point that Ibrami Kenobi X and friends are stating sincerely that black racial rage is non-existent does not mean we succumb to their racism, nor does it mean we allow the stupidity of their special pleading not being the new norm.

Posted by: sven at September 11, 2025 01:55 PM (XFYYr)

78 I think the concept itself needs to be tossed. What is or is not "newsworthy" is essentially an editorial decision, always.

And everyone who is IN the "news" business has an editorial bent. Some try harder to present facts as straightforwardly as possible, but you can't avoid having your bias come in, at the very least in your decision of what to publish or not publish.

It's true everywhere "news" is presented. Even AoSHQ.

That's not the problem, the problem is of course, any org that tries to paint itself as the unvarnished version of the truth. Fewer and fewer people are falling for that these days, but there are still plenty who do.

79 I am glad that our cobs are quick on the draw and take out stupid comments by speck-brained commenters. Its always been a curiosity that some very feeble brains will take an event as proof, PROOF that their hate and stupidity is valid while ignoring others.

I knew a guy in college, lived in my dorm first year. He said he hated blacks (not the word he used) because when he was a kid in Chicago a group of black boys knocked him over and stole his bicycle.

That seems like a good reason to get upset, but look at how selective he was. He didn't hate all boys because of this event. He didn't hate all children. He didn't hate everyone from Chicago or Illinois. He chose one characteristic and singled that out irrationally.

========

She was probably going to win the general no matter what. Just...deep partisanship in a deeply blue city.

She won the last general in 2023 (only two year terms) with 75% of the vote.

However, she did only win the primary this year with 70% when she won the last primary with 85%.

I don't take too much in terms of these individual examples. I wouldn't extrapolate about the midterm results with it, or anything, but it does seem to indicate a certain weakening of support for her specifically. Not a whole lot, but some.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at September 11, 2025 01:49 PM (mlg/3)

I have to agree. It's a term that is part and parcel of the left's identity politics. The black "community," the hispanic "community," gay "community," take your pick - all under the notion that these are (or should be) politically monolithic and in thrall to the left. Part of this is a gaslighting op to make "minority" groups believe their interests are automatically aligned with the left, that their political interests are uniform across that grouping, and that personal authenticity is compromised if you belong to that group but do not walk in lock step with "progressive" ideology.

I don't disagree.

I'm just trying to frame the story in ways that journalism as an industry, as represented by one of their holy centers of education, Columbia, frames it.

The journalistic industry actively ignored it, but I think I showed that it meets their own definitions of newsworthiness.

That's mildly interesting on its own. We know of stories that are technically newsworthy but get suppressed all the time.

What interested me was that it broke through despite their active ignorance of it precisely because it met their definition of newsworthiness.

The Left, still being the controllers of media, culture, the judiciary and bureaucracy - have been dead set on pushing a set of absolutes that just don't work. They don't scale up to anything like a functional system for a country of almost 400 million people. So they're busy hiding those failures while still pushing the failing absolutes.

Now - as we see every day including the last thread - the Right has no shortage of absolutists either. Hence the no infringement of the tranny right to gun up. But those absolutes are not a problem because the Right controls exactly jack and shit for the moment and forseeable future.

Eastern Europe certainly seems to. I've seen too many random "just walk down the street" videos that have supermodel-level girls randomly walking around. Many of them. Some genetic stock are astonishingly beautiful when they are young.

Japan is a good example of the rarity selection thing. There are some super, super cute Japanese girls out there, but most of them randomly on the street are certainly quite plain, as one would expect from the bell curve.

In his defense, when I've seen him use that, it's directed to people who position themselves as subject matter experts on the topic, and who have the means and opportunity to visit the region but don't, yet posit that they have the absolute gospel truth as to the facts on the ground. He's used it to challenge these people's posturing and fakeassery, not to shut down debate or insist they can't have an opinion based on other data.

149 It's the random savagery of it. Literally a perfectly innocent person, doing absolutely nothing wrong, minding their business, on their way home from work, looking at their phone doing the most mundane thing imaginable. The fact that she was young and beautiful, and a war refuge, makes it even more poignant.

And on the other side we have a complete lunatic nutjob, who has not, nor ever will, amount to anything to society. He is a burden and always will be.

It's like watching someone deface a great work of art - the defacer will never, in their lives, create something as beautiful as that art. They are stealing something away from the rest of us, a piece of our souls. Our freedom, our dignity, our safety. If it could happen to her, it could happen to anyone, anywhere. It cheapens and degrades our society, for years to come.

If you have not watched the leaked footage particularly of the morbidly obese black cow sitting across from the young lady you owe it to yourself.

Iryna was dead, Decalros had ensured she had a sub 3% chance to live with immediate help which the blacks in the car studiously did not give.

You can watch here look sideways fleetingly looking for an ounce of empathy from any of the witnesses as the blood runs along her or an acknowledgement of her attack as an innocent.

There was none, at all.

It took ~ 5 minutes for a white and a hispanic to render anything approaching aid.

The dehumanization of the whites has worked to a distressing degree.

I meant what I said in the aftermath of my prayers for Charlie Kirk's sparing not being in His wont....

Get first responder training to honor his death, because the left intends to make the training needed.

193 I commented on this yesterday, and will comment the same thing again, because this is really important:

"but I simply don't consume local news. I never have, no matter where I've lived. I'm just not of the generation that reads local newspapers or watches local broadcast news. "

YOU CAN'T JUST NOT READ LOCAL NEWS

This is how you suddenly end up surrounded by somalis, or sending your kids to pedo public school teachers, or one day just up and find yourself unable to buy arms and ammo.

Or in this case, it's how you basically commit suicide by getting on a train with animals and sitting next to some blatantly crazy guy, nose down in your phone.

This isn't victim blaming; what happened is an absolute outrage. But it was ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE. It sucks, immensely, that this young lady wasn't really in a position to know any better, coming from half way around the world.

But there should be NO excuse for any actual local to not know the state of public transit. I am not aware of any train or subway system servicing ANY urban environment, ANYWHERE within the United States, that is not infested with thugs and crazies. Not a single one.

Not finding this particular story too compelling might have been excusable except the public remembers a lot of other similar murders that did receive the "flood the zone" coverage, complete with calls for a "national conversation" that would be entirely one-way.

198 I don't think any one country or culture or race has any special advantage in terms of attractive women, all else being equal (adjusted for size, affluence, etc).

Eastern Europe certainly seems to. I've seen too many random "just walk down the street" videos that have supermodel-level girls randomly walking around. Many of them. Some genetic stock are astonishingly beautiful when they are young.

Japan is a good example of the rarity selection thing. There are some super, super cute Japanese girls out there, but most of them randomly on the street are certainly quite plain, as one would expect from the bell curve.

I once got yelled at on the Metro. I was sitting in a crowded car and a healthy-looking, mobile, professional woman stepped up to me and asked if I'd mind giving up my seat to her. She had a purse.

I said, 'no, I'm good,' and went back to my book. When she said something about 'the days when men would stand for a woman,' I said 'this is what equality looks like.'

There were snickers and gasps of outrage. You can guess which came from which genders.

Yeah good points.

I fall into the same category. I be never really cared about local news. But then one day I was like why are there a bazillion homes being built in this place that was once a giant forest? Turns out developers bought that giant forest, razed it and are now set to build thousands of homes and apartments there.

There was a pushback from some people on allowing that to happen. And I was covered in local media (as I saw after the fact). But I had no idea about it. Had I and others known maybe there would have been enough of an uproar to stop it.

Yeah, its plausible. I mean the timing is extremely convenient but it can happen. The thing is, there are bomb threats, and there are bomb threats. Someone sending a message saying "I'm the mad bomber what bombs at midnight and I'm gonna bomb you at midnight!" is one thing, but getting a sinister package and repeated messages is another.

its like death threats. Nearly everyone on the internet has gotten one, I mean I have gotten them over arguments about EverQuest online, and I am nobody. But some death threats you have to take seriously and some you shrug off being some angry idiot kid.

228 146 I don't think any one country or culture or race has any special advantage in terms of attractive women, all else being equal (adjusted for size, affluence, etc). Eastern Europe certainly seems to. I've seen too many random "just walk down the street" videos that have supermodel-level girls randomly walking around. Many of them. Some genetic stock are astonishingly beautiful when they are young.

Spent time in Ukraine - the weirdest part is seeing supermodel level women doing mundane things, like selling shoes, or being a conductor on a train. The funniest one was when I say a woman that would be fully comfortable in a Robert Palmer Video chopping meat at a butcher shop. It just makes you stop, and look around to see ...is this a prank? is someone filming this?

There is video of Austin Metcalf being murdered by Karmelo Anthony but it has not been released. (why?)
There is also clear close up video of Charlie Kirk's assassination.

These three videos should be put together in documentary fashion dedicated to our enemy. They should not be edited.
It would expose Him to otherwise numb people. A majority I think.

I think men should still be chivalrous but I do agree that modern culture and some very "toxic" women (to borrow a leftist psychobabble term) have all but ruined it.

Chivalry is a two-way street, it presumes ladies to be chivalrous to. If one will not be a lady, one ought not presume that she will be treated as one.

I mean, men do this too, its a modern cultural thing that people demand all the good without any of the responsibilities or duties of life.

270 It's easy to think that there won't be consequences for the media malfeasance in all of these cases we're talking about here; but that isn't true at all. There just won't be any satisfying short term consequences, but every bill on this earth must be paid sooner or later - and the later it comes due, the higher the penalty.

The cost to what they are doing is already clear - these mass media outlets are going to die, and in fact are already dying. The entire mass media industry is dying, although it's got a few more years to shamble along in a zombified state. We make a big deal out of CNN and MSNBC, but less than 1% of the American Public even watches those channels anymore. NYT staggers on, but WaPo is falling apart. CBS is about to get an enema that will be a joy to behold.

and the best part is that, because of the absolute shit way they have been doing their jobs, there is not going to be anyone in this country who is sorry to see them go (except the manipulators and who cares about them)

Yeah there is a certain sort of romance and intrigue still about trains in culture for those above a certain age. Young people are baffled that trains even exist still and cannot understand their charm and romance.

Part of why we love trains is because of dozens of movies and TV shows and songs in which amazing and fascinating things happened in them, and the footage seemed so exciting.

Modern trains are basically buses with really terrible schedules, though.

290 What happened to chivalry? Leftist women took it out behind the shed and shot it in the fucking face.

I think men should still be chivalrous but I do agree that modern culture and some very "toxic" women (to borrow a leftist psychobabble term) have all but ruined it.

Chivalry is a two-way street, it presumes ladies to be chivalrous to. If one will not be a lady, one ought not presume that she will be treated as one.

I mean, men do this too, its a modern cultural thing that people demand all the good without any of the responsibilities or duties of life.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 11, 2025 02:16 PM (dfIr7)

I'm still chivalrous and generally polite in public. (No, seriously. Stop laughing.) I learned a bit of the Japanese style of public politeness while living there. I'll give up my seat for an old lady or old guy or someone clearly having trouble standing.

But I won't get involved. I'll help a lady get her carry-on into the upper storage bins, if she asks. I won't volunteer. I don't help rando strangers up or down stairs, even if they ask. I won't go anywhere near anyone with a baby or baby stroller. Why? Too much risk.

293 The Charlotte murder strikes a chord because it was a stranger murder. People get killed in a drug deal gone bad or a domestic dispute and people feel safe. There's a morbid curiosity but mosty people don't do drugs and their spouse may have a low-key hatred for them but that's about it, so they know theyre safe. But stranger murders stoke a fear and interest that other murders don't. That's why capital murder is usually reserved for stranger murders.

It makes sense, for a lone-wolf. They figure they might do something awful. So they float some memes among their peers.

Kind of like what happens here with some of our more-excitable posts. (Usually lurkers.)

For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.

I get that many might have died young from parents who didn't know that their bread was killing the child but not all of them.

This is a flood of sickness and weakness and it didn't come from nowhere. I have my suspicions but I still wonder if China isn't responsible?

346 Images are powerful things. When I was growing up people remembered where they were when JFK was killed. His assassination differs from other memorable acts because of the video. For the first time in history an entire population saw the murder. Another example is 911 but that best exemplifies the publics short attention span as it's reduced to "some people did something" in the minds of those who have been born since.

Another interesting example is "The Raft of the Medusa" a painting by Gericault. In 1816 a French ship was sinking off the coast of Africa, the Captain and his officers and crew took the lifeboats and put 150 passengers on a make shift raft then rowed off into the sunset. 15 days later the 13 passengers who had survived thirst, starvation, lthe elements and cannibalism were rescued. It didn't make much of a splash until Gericault displayed his painting at the annual salon show at the Louve in 1819. That got noticed and the Captain, several of his officers and even a couple of superiors in the French navy were sacked.

I was formally disciplined at my old federal job for doing precisely that. Very mildly, but still in writing.

I held the door and she said 'you don't think I can open my own fucking door?' She then marched down to the Director's office and told him. Officially.

He called me in, and in front of her, I said '[name], I didn't hold the door for you because you're a lady. I did it because I'm a gentleman.'

She didn't have anything to say, but I still got a letter noting the complaint and subsequent management discussion placed in my jacket.

Bunch of bucks does not make one fine actually, quite a bit of dysfunction hidden behind those mansion walls. Bucks never fill the gap in withered souls nor drugs or women. Nowadays, it garners little respect because we see scumbags like Bill Gates, the Pritzker family, Reid Hoffman, and other assorted assholes that liked to pal around with people like Epstein.

Everyone wants a piece of the action!

While my anger simmers to near boiling, I don't kill anyone because I am not mentally ill.

The anger I felt over this girl's murder was directed, after the demon who did it, to the people on the train.
1) Apply pressure to the wound. Give the poor soul a fighting chance to get to a trauma unit vs dying alone in her pool of blood alone. She would, at least, have died with a shred of compassion shown her.

2) This murdering demon had a freaking pocket knife. Do NOT tell me that two or more people could not have taken his sorry ass down.

3) If in a true psychotic break, he would have slashed everyone on the train and not had the rational thought to change his orange hoodie. I have worked in an ED and in a true psychosis it does take 4 burly men to hold them down for restraints. This coward may use the insanity plea, based on his past and no bail, but he was NOT psychotic.

There! I feel a bit better now.

467 BurtTC: "I haven't watched in a long time, but as I understand it, they managed to spend 4+ years not noticing we had an Alzheimer patient in the White House."

My interest has waned pretty dramatically in the last few years WRT South Park. But I'd noticed that for such a "truth to power" product, they sure only spoke truth to some powers.

Look what they do to the big names of the Right/GOP in authority. They personalize the attacks. Mock and demonize them directly. What about the Democrats? They satirized the Clintons and Al Gore, but what about Obama and Biden/Harris? Crickets.

The most mockable icons of Democrat leadership (to the point of that party's contemporary collapse) and SP is crickets. Yes, they made fun of the malleable and indirect association of "wokeism" to satirize the period, but they studiously avoid personalizing it to those who drove the actual agenda. But Trump, Vance, Kirk, Giuliani, MAGA et al? They're literally Satan and Satanic Fascist worshippers.

I'd say SP have become political cowards and/or Leftist hacks who take what they have perceived to be a safer course. It certainly has been a profitable one, but I'm done with 'em.

479 My wife told me she saw some parents of one of our kids posted tributes to Charlie Kirk. Along the “it’s horrible what happened I don’t agree with what he said but this is wrong”.

I said yeah whatever fuck them all anyway.

She got mad at me. Still is.

Aren't you the parents of one of your kids? I'm confused, seriously.

480 Book of Mormon is the religion they make fun of. Nothing else.

They tore up Contemporary Christian Music (rightly so) and did a special on Scientology at least once.

481 I’ve never understood South Park. Even before it went far left. It was never funny to me.

Simpsons the first 7-8 years was comedy perfection. And they did skewer everyone and everything equally. Then Bush happened and they went far left. And I stopped watching.

485 I’ve heard that the Evergreen shooting was some sort of feud thing - not a ‘let’s open fire on everyone’ thing, more like revenge over personal disagreements?

That sounds plausible, except maybe for the turning the gun on himself part. It did apparently happen outside the school building. I didn't see any deeper description of the circumstances.

Return fire reduces hit rate to darn near 0 even with trained military troops.

thanks for the clarification GTD. I agree that its time to stop letting equivocations go. No civilized person needs to equivocate about when condemning blatant assassination. Even the interwebs pet white supremacist did better.

487 I just realized I get to fly through Charlotte in a little over a week. I don't have to take a light rail from concourse to concourse, do I?

Ugh.

489 Good post.

I look at it just a little differently.

She may have been pushed to the back of such terrible news as she was a lovely young woman, likely part of the U.S. Humanitarian Parole program for Ukrainian citizens.

For long, the U.S. House of Representatives drove the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) program for certain countries. (Info: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, Humanitarian &/or Temporary Protected Status)

BBC, "During his time in office Biden expanded the protection, which is called "humanitarian parole" and dates back to the Cold War, due to conditions* in each of the four countries" (i.e., Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.)

Trump admin. said enough, pushed back & won.

Now the Left plays white (Ukrainian) &/or 'white adjacent" (Afghanistani) remain under the programs, while others "of color" are victims, now further victimized.

*No, due to certain US Reps' demands that were largely based upon race, ethnicity.

490 “So, I live outside of Charlotte, NC, but I simply don't consume local news. I never have, no matter where I've lived. I'm just not of the generation that reads local newspapers or watches local broadcast news.”

Local government can just do as it will damn well please then?

I'm not familiar with that gesture.
