The more that is spent, the worse it gets, because the money doesn’t go to the homeless, it goes to the hundreds of “charities” that then treat the homeless as sources of revenue.
Elon, this is such a true statement I volunteered in Florida at food pantries. The people were stealing the food off the trucks and putting it in their own cars! Might I add expensive cars, while the people were signing up for a few measly items to survive off that week to feed their families. My friend, now deceased, walked right up to these “Church People” and asked why he would do that! It was amazing to watch them steal the donations from those who needed it!
That’s why they can never help the homeless.If they aren’t needy they’re greedy.
It’s not about the homeless.
The more homeless there are, the more money these organizations get, so their incentive is to increase, not decrease, homelessness! Remember, folks, they’re not replacing white people. They’re replacing Americans. Race is just the tool they use to keep us divided and distracted.
Yet, all over America buildings are being renovated or erected to house ILLEGAL immigrants!!This one in Harlem, that was originally intended as a luxury apartment building, is now being used to shelter ILLEGAL Immigrants!! Residents are outraged.. “This could’ve been used for us!” -Harlem native saysAbsolutely Disgusting!!! I am sure there are many residents in Harlem who would have loved moving into this luxury building. ILLEGAL migrants will now occupy and turn it into a shithole because they are not held accountable for anything. Whatever you incentivize will happen. Illegals created a housing shortage so Americans not only have to pay for housing illegals but we also have to pay more rent, more for hotel rooms and more for houses. I don’t understand how anyone can vote for the woman who wants more illegal immigration.
Will someone, anyone, tell these news reporters that the word is ‘immigrants’, not ‘migrants’?
Migrants ‘migrate’, like caribou! They leave. ‘Immigrants’ are here for the long haul. Be on the lookout, these people residing in these apartments will have a legal address to vote from.
The BORDER WILL NEVER CLOSE WITHOUT TRUMP!!
We’ve heard, for 4 Long Years, “The Border is closed!
The Border is secure!”
NON-STOP LIES AFTER LIE FROM THE LEFT!! ALWAYS MORE LIES!!
ALL housing must be public housing. No person or group should ever be allowed to profit off passive income sources such as real estate. This is why there is a housing crisis in Canada, apparently USA also. Families destroyed…the government is building in Urban AND Rural counties all over the United States of America. 🙁 People need to understand that the inflation reduction act was just a bill to fund this under the guise of infrastructure. This is the infrastructure they voted to fund. In other words, “poverty activists” are actually poverty pimps. Congratulations on a job well done. We voted for our demise.
It would be more effective to address the root of the problem and work on recovering the economy in a socialist downward spiral. Incentives are why we have a massive Illegal immigrant problem.
We give away free food, free housing, free health care and then wonder why we have a migrant problem. Incentives need to end. To what can we attribute the notable prevalence of grifting in the context of Democratic leadership?
Some individuals appear to believe that taxpayer resources are simply available for their benefit. NGO grift at its finest.
It’s always the NGOs. It’s money laundering, plus plausible deniability for those who took your money (the government) but failed to solve the problem, or even move the needle. The NGOs are corruption’s connective tissue.They don’t fail to track, they intentionally don’t. That would show how much money they are stealing from it. Government accountability is at an all time low and will not be fixed until we get people willing to fight the government to expose the criminality that exists at the federal, state, and at the local level.
It doesn’t matter if they spend. The interest is so high now that the debt will pile up even with a balanced budget.
It’s all money laundering. ALL OF IT High speed rail is money laundering High speed internet is money laundering US AID is money laundering US charging stations is money laundering Infrastructure project is money laundering DC is literally stealing from taxpayers.
It’s sickening how charities profit off homelessness instead of solving it. The more they spend, the more they keep the problem alive. They’re cashing in on human misery while doing nothing real to help.
That’s what the Democrats do. They spent so much money there’s no accountability.
Somehow the money is never enough, and the politicians get filthy rich in the process. Newscum said he didn’t have receipts for the monies recv’d via the federal government. I’ll tell you GO ASK HIS FRIENDS they have a lot of it. now that he wants to run in 2028 he’s coming out doing what he’s always done TAKE TAKE TAKE
The NGOs who take most of the money as “administrative fees” and who also, typically, pay their officers exorbitant amounts when they have no basis for it. I was an auditor/fraud examiner and have much experience with these entities. I think the Trump administration should take a hard look at the grants awarded to NGOs, especially for immigration services. Let’s see how deep these tentacles reach. Mneofthestate
Just got the papers served on Friday, and my son and I will be one of those on January 12th. Someone bought our home out from under us, but I am looking into options. My son really wants to stay in the school he is in, but I can’t afford anything because of my disability. I’m not sure what we will do, but I will figure it out. I qualify for a loan, but only, wow, I’m actually calling it “only,” $50k. You can’t buy anything for $50K anymore. Under President Trump, 2.5% interest, I would have had my home secured, but because of Biden/Kamalanomics, the interest rates are too high. Now, there is nothing I can afford. My son’s mother’s family are very wealthy, but they won’t even pay the $100 a month child support because they hate me. My son’s grandfather is a VP at Microsoft and a Democrat. It is sickening.
Exactly – the Homeless Industrial Complex.
California homeless population 2011 – 2022. Their approach doesn’t seem to be working!!!
Since 2019, California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness, but in this five-year period, homelessness increased by about 30,000, to more than 181,000. Put differently, California spent the equivalent of about $160,000 per person (based on the 2019 figure) over the last five years. Recently, politicians used our tax dollar to build a 600K PER UNIT building for non taxpayers- it has cafes, art, music and gym rooms- the tenants never need to work or pay a dime towards their support-Imagine if the government gave even 1% of that 24 billion dollars to the homeless. You could give every one of them more than a million dollars.
Where’s all the money going?
MIGRANT CRIME IS TAKING OVER OUR COUNTRY. MIGRANT GANGS HAVE CREATED STRONGHOLDS IN SANCTUARY CITIES WHERE THEY KNOW THEIR SAFE. NOW THEIR TENTACLES ARE STRETCHING OUT TO SMALLER LESS PROTECTED TOWNS – RAPE AND MURDERS. THE MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT THIS FEARING HARASS LOOKING BÀD.
They could have ended homelessness in California for 1/3 that just giving out a check of $50,000 even impacted healthcare, drug use and crime. Hope real people see the system the self important enrichers have created to steal the future of America.
Fact: Did you know that Rick Scott (R-FL) only won his Senate seat by 10,033 votes?
And he had to spend $64 MILLION of his own wealth to do it.
The first step to truly disarming an individual, or a society, is by taking away their right to free speech. Dr. Phil says often: “When people tell you who they are, also believe them” – Kamala – Walz – Hillary – have all told us who they are, and I believe them. I also believe these Leftists will do a lot of other things we won’t like if they can just confiscate our guns. We can save democracy by censoring speech and jailing our political opponents! 🇺🇲
They’re collecting our posts right now to use against us if they’re successful in stealing the election again, believe that!!
They would gladly see America turn into China if it meant they could retain power.
They don’t care what apocalyptic outcome it might bring. These Democrats are demons… The uni party wants to take away our 1st and second amendment.
It’s long past time to make free speech great again. That’s why Freedom of Speech is the First Amendment. It’s the bedrock and cornerstone of democracy. Remember to make the correct choice at critical moments! ⌛
This becomes the big excuse for Democracy to mute people’s voices, the true voices from people. This is exactly how the British sounded before America declared our freedom.
Free Speech is worth fighting to protect because once you lose it there is no easy way to get it back before it’s too late… Absolutely! Because nothing says freedom like government-controlled speech and prison sentences. Maybe next, they’ll suggest we all live in glass houses to improve transparency!
Like the plot to a dystopian movie, New York will now monitor social media writings, collect data, and use law enforcement to crack down on any expression it deems to be hate speech. They won’t want people to be allowed to think for themselves. Allowing individuals to have their own personal power is too much of a threat. Very concerning.
They always act like any restriction or discipline, or morality is unreasonable. There are restrictions on the first amendment already. Valid ones that the law and the constitution uphold. The anonymous rightwing social media Borg just knows it can’t misinform and propagandize as well if X takes responsibility for the quality of its business and reins in abuse and manipulation and harassment and hate speech.
Censorship won’t save them from what Americans really think.
On Gavin Newsom banning memes in Ca., how exactly does that work?
SO I INCLUDED MANY IN THIS POST JUST FOR YOU FROM OHIO. SO YOU won’t think twice about imprisoning dissent. Biden and your AUNT PIGLOSI already did it… My God, we live in a scary time and it just gets scarier by the week with lying politicians
LIKE YOU AND YOUR BAY AREA SEA HAG AUNT LIVING IN AMERICA.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi have a lot in common as prominent Democrats with strong ties to San Francisco, but are they also related as family members?
If you have a particularly generous view on extended family, then yes.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s aunt, Barbara Newsom, was once married to Ron Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law.
That means for a while, Gavin Newsom was related to Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law by marriage, but the familial relation between the two now-powerful Democrats was even more distant. Not to mention, the marriage tying the two families together ended when Gavin was 10 years old.
When your Karma bites you in the ass, Everything will fall like dominoes.
I am a smart one that means I’m voting for Trump in November.
Believe them. They mean it when they tell on themselves
Kamala: Thinks We must censor the internet. Walz: Misinformation ≠ free speech.
Hillary: Prison for telling the TRUTH.
Statements from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Hillary Clinton highlight a growing concern about the balance between addressing misinformation and protecting free speech. Their positions suggest a push for increased regulation, which can lead to significant debates about individual rights and government authority.
It’s crucial to critically assess such proposals and their implications for democratic values. Can they be more obvious on what they are afraid of if the people did the opposite of what they are asking for….They are trying to hide the truth about themselves. Democrats are the greatest threat to our Constitutional republic that we have ever faced. SINCE 12/07/1941.
IF you offer people two options – take responsibility, work harder, and we’ll provide you with all the opportunities to lift yourself up, or let us decide for you, who regulates the environment, and guide you to a passive, limited future – many will choose the second option. Same thing is happening in the EU, UK, and Canada… because too many people ask, ‘What’s wrong with regulating harmful things?’
They fail to see the danger in handing over the power to decide what’s right and wrong. Many are willing to surrender some responsibility for their own lives because life is hard, and the struggle is real. The harder life gets (including navigating ourselves in the confusing information battle), the less energy people have to govern themselves.
So they opt to alleviate the burden, not realizing the long-term cost of such choices.
Is the internet not already censored?
Aren’t their legal actions people can take if someone were to lie and create false narratives against someone in normal life? We desire these things in our normal lives but can’t imagine the need for them for social media and information? Didn’t people just flip out because a player knew that they were going to start in a football game beforehand?
But people didn’t know until late that they were scratched and then those people get upset because of the “mis information” … the information they are safeguarding aren’t your opinions, They are more than likely looking at trends in your digital profile and content to ensure no one is a threat to others or the country?
You don’t think this stuff is happening already? What is the issue here?
Question, if Mr. Trump said we should have safeguards in place.
What would people say? Aren’t they arguing against misinformation as well?
Kamala married a JEW Bidens cabinet was 66% JEWISH Bidens kids all married JEWS Hillary’s daughter married a JEW Jews are 0.2% of the planet. How does this make ANY SENSE?
Democrats are pro-censorship and there is no denying that fact.
Gavin Newsom: I’m gonna ban memes
They want to censor thought and make slaves out of us all. Democrats never stopped being the party of slavery. Remember, Kamala’s family owned slaves.
People need to realize the Bible is true – in Revelation it describes a one-world dictatorship where no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark. It is unfolding before our eyes. America is going to fall, everyone needs to prepare themselves for that. But take heart – Jesus Christ has overcome the world. We will win in the end.
It’s Called They Don’t TRUST THESE AMERICA POLITICIANS ANY LONGER
Elon is utilizing it to broadcast the salient facts people should be considering in voting this time. Trump is for Freedom, Prosperity, and Safety. The Harris/Walz team is not. If they were, the last four years would have been very different than they were. She’s had four years to show what she could do, and look where the country is. We saw what Trump could do before he was t-boned by the pandemic. Well, the pandemic is gone now, and we want the Trump system back!
It’s called Freedom to Broadcast what we know.
Kamala’s Past Lies Reveals Why She Shouldn’t be POTUS.
During a June 2019 appearance on CBS’s “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, Sen. Kamala Harris said that despite her bashing Joe Biden at a recent primary debate, she would support the Democratic candidate, no matter who it was.
“How do you go from being such a passionate opponent on such bedrock principles for you, and now you guys seem to be pals?”
Colbert asked. “It was a debate,” Harris said about her fierce attacks on Biden.
You need to add these facts:
1. She moved to Canada at the age of 12.
2. She attended school, including college, in Canada aged 11/12 through 20.
3. She did not spend her “formative” years in the U.S.
4. Her extreme values are Canadian not American.
5. Plus she lived in Canada from 1976 to 1982.
6. Her father is a Marxist.
It’s proven over and over again that She’s a Pathological and Habitual Liar ALSO not very bright, Back in her years actually there was bussing, but it was DEsegregating policy and it was white kids being bussed to other schools to balance the racial makeup of other schools as part of an effort to desegregate schools in Los Angeles.
BUT AT THAT TIME SHE WAS LIVING IN CANADA!
So true. (At least most of it) Although I’d love it if the final statement were correct,
@KamalaHarris was born in Oakland CA which makes her a natural born citizen. It’s the really terrible part of our constitutional laws because anyone can cross our border and have a baby that naturally becomes a citizen.
Larry Elder told the story of her father traveling from the deep south to LA and being so surprised that it wasn’t segregated and realizing that’s where he wanted to live. She lived in an area in Montreal called Westmount Quebec – Second most affluent neighborhood in Canada and her family wasn’t middle class, and she didn’t work McDonald’s employment to help pay for college.
It is obvious that Kamala Harris has appropriated the Black race for the purpose of fooling African Americans ahead of the 2024 election. In other words, she’s playing them all for fools in order to get them to vote for her! She is not “Presidential material,” regardless of race!
And Don’t believe her lies, she wasn’t middle class, she was upper class!
Literally everything out of her mouth is a lie. How can anyone vote for someone with zero credibility!!
A vote for Kamala is a vote to give up all your rights to the government and will dictate to you what you can and can’t do. A totalitarian regime of communism….voting for Kamala Harris is like getting a flat tire and driving around on it and hoping that it’ll fix itself. A vote for Kamala Harris is a snub to every single Founding Father who signed their name on the Declaration of Independence.
End the Kamala chaos by Electing Trump!
And she won’t snuff out Christianity. Almost 2,000 years later the Bible is still the number one seller of all time, and Jesus is alive and well and sitting on the throne. Extremely disturbing once you notice our sorry state is due largely to the death of religion. The sentiment that “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote against any religious institution” reflects a specific perspective, often rooted in certain political or cultural narratives.
This is also being reflected in behavioral facilities for adolescents. We have now switched to being on a Cali model, with Cali overlords who run it fiscally based. We All Know SOFT GEL SLICK DOWN NEWSCUM MADE CALIFORNIA UNLIVABLE. They have designed it to maximize fiscal gains, not your child’s health. You have 30 days to fix anomalous behavior, which is stupid, impossible and unproductive for serious cases where the help is needed most.
These Democratic policies have placed barcodes on your children, and that is all they are to them!
A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote against religious institutions misrepresenting the Do No Harm Act, which she sponsored.
This legislation clarifies that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act cannot be used to justify discrimination, undermine nondiscrimination laws, or harm others. It protects individual rights, promotes inclusivity, and has support from over 100 civil rights, LGBTQ, health, women’s, labor, and faith organizations. Understanding the Act’s context and intent is crucial, rather than perpetuating misinformation that fuels division.
The basic problem is that people have a right to discriminate, but they don’t have a right not to be discriminated against. Once you create a fake right for some favored groups not to be discriminated against, you destroy real rights for all individuals, including religious.
The media has become a complete waste now that it cannot be counted on to report fairly. It likes its access and influence, and in that way it’s behaving like just another wealthy elite Democratic Party donor. This is not the case. The United States needs a president like Donald Trump who can build relationships with the whole world. Very true,Vote for peace in World 🌎🕊️☮️ vote for change, vote for Trump 💓🤍💙
Thread by @BasedMikeLee on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App 🏮 1. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote against any religious institution, including schools, universities, hospitals, and charities. The media doesn’t want you to know about the Do No Harm Act. They won’t ask her about it because they know the answer.
🏮 2. This is the truth: Kamala Harris doesn’t believe that religious institutions should be able to live according to their faith. Rather, they must bend the knee to the popular social justice movement of the day.
🏮 3. Not a single mention of the severe threat Kamala Harris presents to religious liberty—including for Latter-day Saints.
🏮 4. There’s an argument to be made that the Do No Harm Act was a (if not THE) centerpiece in Kamala’s short tenure in the Senate. It has among the most cosponsors of any legislation she introduced. Search Bills in Congress – GovTrack.us
🏮 6. I struggle a little to understand why Latter-day Saints would vote for her, in light of her efforts to gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but to each his own.
🏮 7. I struggle far more to understand why the Church’s media operation would go out of its way to help her hide her crusades against religious freedom.
🟥 In conclusion, the claim is factually incorrect if taken to mean that Harris’s policies entirely oppose religious institutions. While the Do No Harm Act might concern some religious groups about potential restrictions, it’s one part of a broader legislative and political context. Harris’s overall stance includes supporting religious freedoms alongside protections from discrimination. Therefore, presenting a vote for Harris as universally against religious institutions oversimplifies her policy positions and the nuanced interplay between religious freedoms and civil rights in legislation. #OPINION | Kamala has been known for years for her weak oratory. When she speaks she has a hard time keeping the thread of the conversation, and she also has a nervous laugh that not only gives her away easily, but also annoys many 🤡
Everyone should have to go live in a blue state. Like Pennsylvania which has been run by Dems for years. I recently visited family outside of Pittsburgh. There is no prosperity, no new homes going in, very few new businesses, very little manufacturing and no growth. Lots of taxes. It is a shell of its former self. Nothing has changed since I was there 10 years ago. It has only gotten worse. Utahns have no clue how well they have it. Choose wisely this November. The Most Prosperous States in America (usnews.com)
Yeah, Their long-term goals are similar to the book “A Brave New World”. It’s going to suck, and it includes them eventually taking the kids.
When Kamala had a 90% turnover from Day 1 in her VP Staff
Because she was always unorganized and changing her mind!
The fate of America depends on removing Democrats from the presidency, Congress and state governments. The entire Democrat party is treasonous, in bed with global oligarchs to drag the U.S. into a global feudalistic/communistic governance.
If it appears that Western nations are all in lockstep:
Descending toward authoritarianism, censorship, suppression of free speech and fascism, that’s because they are. Western governments have been corrupted and subverted by global oligarchs. YES!! For a very long time. That’s why Trump is a threat to the Shadow US government. Progressive old money. Democ-Rats 🐀🐀🐀
I have been preaching this about the Democrats since Obama because every time you hear about something that stupid dumb or idiomatic Democrats involved…..🤡💩🤡💩🤡
The future of America hinges on this election. A Trump victory means defending free speech, securing our borders, making our cities safe again, and bringing sanity back to government spending. It’s about restoring strength, both politically and financially. Just like
@TheTrumpToken and $GREAT represent freedom in the crypto world, Trump represents freedom for the American people. It’s time to secure our future.
It’s a little odd that so much should depend on one event, but it does. The Left has taken us down a dark tangent, and we need to put our nation back on track if we want to continue to enjoy the many things which made America the leader of the Free World.
Many self-destructing people will vote with only their personal hate as a motivation! I pray, for their sake, as well as mine, there aren’t enough of them to succeed!
He needs to shift the conversation into the fact that his campaign and policy is to make the country strong, energy independent, fix the border and help everyone. While Kamala’s only policy is to stop him from doing so .
Climate change, charging stations, the border, and the internet is all a taxpayer funded scam from this pathetic administration and will only get worse under communist Kamala… Sounds like money has been funneled to places other than where it should be going. Complete RIPOFF!Kambala failures: 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 🚫 (≈$457 billion) 𝐄𝐕 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬/𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 🚫 ($5/$2.5 billion) 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 🚫 ($42 billion)
It’s called incompetence by Kamala Harris And misappropriation of public funds. Don’t forget about the 8 charging stations that cost 7.5 billion or the 11 billion, 1600 ft long CA high speed rail that Nancy Pelosi Diane Feinstein stole Grant Money Three Times From. While they waste billions and play politics, Americans are still offline. It’s a total failure of leadership! 3 strikes & she’s out! Don’t get distracted: Kamala is historically extreme (voz.us)
Let’s envision what it would be like if we voted for Harris, leading us into a time of incredible poverty. Imagine a version of America where free speech STOPS and every individual has access to healthcare, education, and yes, Picture more illegals coming through wider open borders, 🟥BREAKING: House Republicans reportedly have enough votes to charge Attorney General Merrick Garland with inherent Contempt of Congress, which would direct the Sergeant at Arms to take him into custody. 🟥 JUST IN: The Trump campaign has DECLINED CNN’s invitation for another debate Good! That’s the right move.
Donald Trump does not need to endure another rigged debate like the one on ABC.
If she wants another debate, it should be on X, with Tucker and Laura moderating.
🟥 I do not understand why the RNC continues to allow left wing propagandists to handle “debates” for them.
Here comes the left saying Trump is afraid even though Kamala denied Fox debates twice. As she’ll only agree to “debates” at places that’ll give her the questions in advance and attack Trump for her. Trump stated very clearly that he won’t do another debate. CNN will spin this as being “scared.” Debate is a waste of time. We KNOW where Trump stands. Better CNN pin Kamala down and hold her feet to the fire. She LIES about everything – like Project 2025! And The liberal media has already exposed themselves as being in the tank for Kamala after ABC turned their “debate” into a 3v1, refusing to hold Kamala accountable for her blatantly false statements, and routinely arguing with Trump. Allowing the hacks at CNN to “moderate” a debate so close to Election Day allows them to directly interfere on behalf of Kamala.
The fact that she is begging for a CNN debate again, signals massive desperation and panic. As, there is no need for another debate, Americans know who the candidates are, we have all witnessed what they can do when in office and how things were when they were in office. I don’t blame them. The only reason Kamala wants another debate is the Party’s internal polling tells a considerably more disturbing story about her support among ordinary people than public polling released by Democrat media.
Trump has nothing to gain and everything to lose by gracing CNN and providing them with ratings they don’t deserve. Frankly, he doesn’t need it. Kamala is the one with the identity problem and it’s starting to sink her and everybody sees it. Even if Trump could get fair moderators, he’s still going to be hamstrung by the fact that Kamala is a woman and if he comes across as aggressive at all, he’ll be seen as bullying her.
Why should DJT commit to a second debate with that lying female dog in a media horse and pony show? ..
The debate on ABC was biased, manipulated and rigged for KH.. a whistleblower came forward with a signed affidavit that it was rigged..
DJT had to debate KH and ABC NEWS.. it was a disgrace to human intelligence..
Trump campaign wisely declines CNN debate invite!
Avoids: – Biased moderation – Unfair questioning – Election interference No more debates on leftist networks! I agree that it’s the right move. Obviously, she and the media know that she didn’t expand her base with the last debate, Dems are also claiming that the lighting on the two candidates was the same during the debate. But it’s easy to see the difference, once it is pointed out.
Therefore, No more making these deceitful MSM networks richer. Trump has stepped out of his comfort zone multiple times for interviews and both debates, time for Kamala to step out of her comfort zone for once. She won’t even do that for interviews and when she did one on Oprah she read off a teleprompter. Besides Voting is ongoing now in many states. He offered her three debates. She only would do the one she could rig on leftist ABC and wanted another on CNN.🚨The Democrats have dropped Biden, but make no mistake about it, Kamala Harris is EVEN MORE radical. 🚨
Of course he declined the invite from CNN and you should. Trump has all the leverage now.
He already did two debates on hostile networks. None of the debates have been held on friendly networks.
There is no benefit in doing a third debate on another hostile network. They will spin it that Trump is a coward. And then Trump should agree to debate her on Fox.
Kamala has been known for years for her weak oratory. When she speaks, she has a hard time keeping a conversation, without that nervous laugh that not only gives her away easily, but also annoys many. Explains why the media is such a propaganda machine for the Democratic Party
The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole84 ·9h
Only 3.4% of journalists are Republicans as of 2022
VP Kamala will Not Certify his Victory on Jan 6, 2025! (rumble.com) Being the Crooked District Attorney she was: Voting Kamala Harris is like throwing the Titanic in reverse to hit the iceberg a second time 🧊 Don’t forget In 2021, Kamala Harris was put in charge of a $42 billion effort to extend internet service to millions of Americans.
Almost four years later, not a single American has been connected.
To make matters worse, in 2020, the Biden-Harris administration secured a commitment from Starlink to provide internet to 640,000 homes and businesses at about $1,300 per location in federal support. Biden always bragged about his accomplishments, but it looks like a lot of them were never done. Money goes to it but nothing is done.
However, in 2023, the government revoked that agreement after Biden authorized federal agencies to investigate Elon Musk. Now, the Biden-Harris administration is spending $100,000 for what originally cost $1,300, seemingly because of their disapproval of Musk exercising his First Amendment rights.
The Biden/Harris administration has been trying to make life & doing business in America difficult for Elon since he bought X. When Trump is elected & we get the D.O.G.E, I expect all of these corrupt politicians will be looking for time in Alcatraz on Day 1.
1965 – 1967 .. 17-year-old Bernie Townsend and a few musician friends formed their first band in their hometown of Oxford in 1965. Like many of their musical peers from the baby-boomer generation they were influenced by the widely differing sounds of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Otis Redding and Bob Dylan and the historic Blues songs that were becoming available then on the old
Chess Records Label – those influences were certainly reflected in that first band as they started out on their journey to become the next Beatles or Rolling Stones.
Within a year that same band was residing in Paris and working as backup musicians for Chuck Berry, Eddie Lee Mattison and Mickey Baker and later opened for The Rolling Stones. This was the Paris of student unrest and social upheaval and it was on Montparnasse that Bernie and his fellow band members met with expatriate American writers and civil rights activists and young American servicemen bound for a place called Vietnam – it was a time that would form a lasting impression on Bernie Townsend and has provided more than one backdrop for his songs.
————————————————————————————————————————
1968 – 1970 .. Bernie Townsend was signed as a singer-songwriter to the then new independent label Zeus Records. This was the formative period of his career as a singer-songwriter and though full of promise and great support his output met with limited success and ran its course to a disappointing end to his first foray into the music industry as a solo artist.
————————————————————————————————————————
1971 – 1979 .. During the early 70’s Bernie had tuned in to the sounds of The Eagles and Jackson Browne and the Southern sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers and in doing so he started a voyage of discovery into the ‘Americana’ genre that was to provide him with a vehicle for his songs across the spectrum of Country, Blues, Southern Rock, Southern Soul and Tex Mex – from that point onward the catalogue of songs from Bernie Townsend became heavily influenced by those genres and still is today.
Throughout this decade Bernie Townsend gave his services as a vocalist to various touring Country-Rock and Blues bands while continuing to craft his art as a songwriter and it was during this period that he struck up what was to be a life-long friendship with American guitarist Glenn Coleman who was the inspiration for the storyline of Bernie’s recent US hit single “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” – Bernie and Glenn played in 70’s country-rock band ‘Stampede’ and Glenn is now a stable-mate guitarist and singer-songwriter at Gravel Road Records.
In 1977, Bernie was invited to form a band with Blues guitarist Robert Wakeley which featured a raft of songs from Bernie’s growing catalogue, and which caught the attention of Ralph Simon who signed him to a publishing contract with Zomba Music in 1979.
————————————————————————————————————————
1980 – 1984 .. Bernie Townsend was signed by Richard Vernon to the legendary Blue Horizon/CN Records label as a singer-songwriter and he recorded two singles, “Another Night” released in 1981 and featured on the late Alexis Korner’s BBC Radio 1 Playlist and “Little By Little” released in 1982 and featured on the BBC Radio Playlist of Bob Harris – this period saw Bernie tour and undertake radio promotion across the US for the first time as a recording artist in his own right.
On the back of the two singles an album was recorded which reflected a track roster of cutting edge songs written by Bernie and his co-writer Richard Sharpey that were inextricably linked to the sounds that were coming out of the southern states at that time. The album was ostensibly recorded for the US market and saw the songs “Hold On”, “If I Could Only” and “Every Bit Of My Heart” receive critical acclaim at the Midem Festival in Cannes and an offer of license from Bearsville Records, however for contractual reasons the product was shelved and remained untitled in a studio library for many years.
————————————————————————————————————————
1985 – 1995 .. The frustration felt by Bernie Townsend over this issue lead to the end of a particularly creative period at Blue Horizon/CN Records and saw him put down his pen for an inordinately long period, during which time he found solace in a return to the days of long haul tours and the after hours side of life on the road.
During these intervening years Bernie shared stages, including London’s Wembley Arena and BBC 2 TV, with such diverse artists as Conway Twitty, Steve Young and Desert Rose Band and performed to many thousands of US service personnel at military installations around the world. However, as the years rolled by he felt more and more distanced from the reasons that had inspired him to start his musical journey and so one day he just got off the bus and returned home to his roots as a singer-songwriter.
————————————————————————————————————————
1998 – 2011 .. After taking a time-out from the music industry, Bernie renewed his songwriting partnership with long time co-writer Richard Sharpey resulting in a wealth of new songs that saw Rob Gripper the CEO of Fat Cat Records and BBC Presenter Bob Harris become instrumental in getting the career of Bernie Townsend back on course – he became a member of Country-Rock band ‘The Rescue’ and was their singer and songwriter, (with co-writer Richard Sharpey), on their first album, the eponymously titled “The Rescue” and their later album “Forever Young” – The Rescue, which was met with critical acclaim in both the US and the UK and saw The Rescue signed to Nashville record label ARG in 2008.

2012 .. Bernie Townsend was persuaded, for the first time since the end of his career at Blue Horizon/CN Records, to embark on a solo career and he signed to Gravel Road Records as a singer-songwriter. In turn the Rights were acquired to the previously unreleased album as Gravel Road Records believed that the release of that Work was long overdue, and, in deference to the location of the legendary and long since gone Chipping Norton Recording Studio, Bernie decided to title his first solo album “Made on New Street”.
————————————————————————————————————————
2014 .. During September there began a series of events that launched the career of singer-songwriter Bernie Townsend to the wider mainstream audiences within the United States of America. This was kick-started by the release on YouTube of the acclaimed video of the song “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” featured on the album “Made on New Street” – this song was inspired by the experience of a close friend of Bernie’s on his return from the Vietnam War.
The video of “Just Won’t Touch Me Now” – Bernie Townsend (youtube.com) has since been the subject of many thousands of views on YouTube and posts and comments on the Vietnam Veterans of America Facebook Page and has been adopted by VVA Chapters across the United States.

The Democrats hate this country and will destroy it for their lust of power.
This is what happens when you allow communists to run for office.
They bend and break the rules.
Absolutely. This is why we’re not importing migrants based on skill set and what they can contribute to our country. We’re intentionally only bringing in people who will be reliant on the government. The Democratic Party’s definition of “protecting democracy”,
Those who imagine they will win with a government voted in by illegal immigrants are sadly mistaken. The problem is they’re not bright enough to see the brick wall they’re about to run us all into before they actually hit it. Regardless of the fact it is large enough to consume their entire field of view.
It’s the same mindset that leads to falling for obvious scams online. They illegally took away America’s right to vote for the government they want by importing illegals to vote.
How many want a government where everything you do is illegal.
How many times will we speak or type is illegal?
Elect Trump and send them back! They are political pawns for the democrats…
I think they have other reasons. But this one is probably up there.
We’re being forced to pay for our votes to be replaced by the people replacing them.
We as a country cannot allow this happen!
It’s not the only reason – it’s not even the main reason.
They want to replace us with more “compliant people.”
The main reason is the belief all humans are the same with the desire not to be (seen as) racist. Large parts of the population support immigration, not just politicians, and these are their fundamental reasons.
We lost America on November 3, 2020, and the Dems are not trying to hide this fact anymore … Democrats could care less about Americans or our Government Spending which Trump was trying to right the sinking ship by curtailing Military spending thru World Peace.
The Democrats want full power and a Uni-party Government!
The SAVE Act would allow election officials to be sued for wrongly registering a voter who didn’t provide the required proof of citizenship — for the lawbreaking noncitizen.
The Democrats Want You to Believe:
4. Immigrants have always been invited to come to the land of opportunity. When those immigrants were White, no problem, right? That’s how all these White Americans got here. Now that Brown and Black want to come, it’s a problem for you.
5. The US needs more immigrants to pay into our tax base to help subsidize our aging population. In 1940, there were 42 workers for every retiree. Today, there are only three. That number will go to two in the not-too-distant future. With 65% of We the People Not paying taxes. Who will fund Social Security, Medicare, the military, etc.?
In ReWriting History… Fox News political analyst and former Clinton adviser Dick Morris turns his sharp-eyed gaze on Hillary, the longtime First Lady, Former New York Senator, and bestselling author. For, as he argues, In Rewriting History, Morris draws on his own long working relationship with the Clintons, as well as his trademark deep research and candid, nonpartisan analysis, to create a rebuttal to Hillary’s bestselling autobiography, Living History.
Morris documented how Hillary hides her true self behind a “Hillary” brand that is chatty, charming, giggly, and warm—but is far from her true personality. In Rewriting History, Morris pierces the mask to get at the truth behind the distortions and omissions of Hillary’s memoir.
Here we meet the real Hillary, both her good and bad side: she is the manager who makes the trains run on time, but also the paranoid side of her who sees all those who disagree with her as personal enemies; the idealist, but also the “advice addict” easily misled by the guru of the moment.
Morris describes Hillary’s sense of entitlement and warns that it may lead deep into her financial scandal. And he demonstrates how Hillary dodges criticism by pretending that every attack is directed not just at her, but at every working woman in America.
Ultimately, Morris argues, like Bill, the Hillary Clinton of today is marketing a false front, obscuring both her wants and her assets behind her phony facade. Will she, ever see the error of her ruthless ways, and embrace the sincere idealism she professes? Or will she allow the darker evilness of her nature to overcome her, jeopardizing herself and the country in the process?
Upon its release on January 15, 2016 by Paramount Pictures, 13 Hours grossed $69 million worldwide against a production budget of $50 million, becoming one of Bay’s lowest-grossing films. It also received mixed reviews from critics, who also praised its performances, action sequences, and dark tone, but criticized the script for historical liberties. Bay’s direction received a mixed response, with many criticizing his emphasis on over-the-top action, but some also noting it as one of his most mature and grounded films. 13 Hours received an Oscar nomination for Best Sound Mixing at the 89th Academy Awards.
In 2012, following the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Benghazi is named one of the most dangerous places in the world. While several countries have pulled their embassies out of Libya in fear of an attack by militants, the U.S. still has a diplomatic compound open in the city. Less than a mile away is a CIA outpost called the Annex, which is protected by a team of private military contractors from Global Response Staff (GRS). New to the detail is Jack Silva, who arrives in Benghazi and is picked up by Tyrone “Rone” Woods, commander of the GRS team and a personal friend of Silva. Arriving at the Annex, Silva is introduced to the rest of the GRS team and the CIA Chief-of-Station, who constantly gives the team strict reminders to never engage the citizens.
The U.S. AmbassadorStevens arrives in Benghazi to maintain diplomatic connections amidst the political and social chaos. Despite warnings, he decides to stay at the Special Mission with limited protection from a pair of Diplomatic Security (DS) agents, Wickland and Ubben, and guards hired from the local February 17th Martyrs Brigade militia, nicknamed “17-Feb”. On the morning of the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Stevens notices suspicious men taking pictures of the compound and notifies his security detail. Back at the Annex, Silva finds out that his wife is pregnant.
That night, a group of militants from Ansar al-Sharia assault the compound. The 17-Feb guards quickly surrender their posts, allowing the attackers easy access to the Special Mission compound. Wickland takes Stevens and Smith, an IT specialist, into the safe room. Unable to breach the safe room, the attackers set the building on fire hoping to burn the men out. Wickland is able to escape but loses both Stevens and Smith.
At the Annex, the GRS team desperately wants to go to the compound to help, but the Chief refuses, fearing that the team’s departure would leave the Annex vulnerable. However, the team dispatches to the compound and meets up with the DS agents. Silva and Woods go into the building to try to find Stevens and Smith, but are only able to find Smith’s body. The DS team from the compound retreats to the Annex; but after Wickland goes in the wrong direction, they are followed back to the Annex. Later, the GRS team also retreats to the Annex.
Knowing an attack by the militants is imminent, the CIA staff of the Annex makes several desperate calls for help. The only help they can get is from Doherty, a GRS officer in Tripoli, who forms a team including two Delta operators that fly to Benghazi after several delays. Meanwhile, the GRS team fends off the militants as they try to breach the Annex perimeter. After repelling the largest attack wave, the Annex receives word from ISR that help is en route.
The Tripoli GRS reinforcements arrive and begin preparing the CIA and DS staff to depart for the airport. The militants launch a mortar attack in which Ubben and Geist are wounded; Geist’s left arm is partially severed and Ubben’s right leg suffers a compound fracture. Woods rushes to aid Geist and is killed by another mortar round. Doherty is also killed when a mortar detonates directly in front of him.
With the GRS team compromised, and the Annex now vulnerable, the remaining GRS operators watch as a convoy of vehicles rolls toward the Annex. Fearing the worst, the operators prepare to make a final stand, until it is revealed that the convoy is an element of the Libya Shield Force militia escorting the GRS reinforcements. They also find out that Stevens was found behind the compound, but was pronounced dead at the hospital.
At the airport, the CIA staff and the wounded Geist board the Air Tripoli plane to Tripoli while the remainder of the GRS team waits for the next plane with the bodies of Stevens, Smith, Woods and Doherty. Closing titles reveal that all of the surviving members of the Annex security team received contractor medals in a private ceremony and have since retired from the GRS team and live with their families.
ILLEGAL immigration (violence criminals) ≠ Legal immigration (doctors and engineers). Also, One day those illegal violent people might break into your home, kick you in the nuts, violate your women and steal your home, legally. Many undocumented are seeking asylum.
They are not illegal. Look it up.
It’s not that we don’t need immigration; it’s about the process of it. They need to be vetted and come through a legal process of becoming a citizen. My parents are immigrants but when they got here, they did not get 9$k cash; free housing and free medical care.
Also when you don’t have a work permit or citizenship to work you don’t pay taxes and that burdens our economy. Hence overspending of gov funds on top of many things! Hence. the hidden tax called inflation… which we pay on everything…Let’s also not forget that it’s absurd to think every single immigrant is voting blue. If I recall correctly, most Cuban immigrants are solidly right wing and many people from Latin America are socially conservative.
Undocumented, illegal immigration does not help you nor America in any way. Not 1 way. In fact, because they are receiving care in many facets… It will impact your finances directly. Don’t drink ANY Kool aid… DYOR
DYOR is an acronym that stands for “ do your own research.” It’s commonly used by analysts, traders and market researchers who share their work and opinions on social media.

At 12:07 p.m.,[17] Riley’s roommate reported her disappearance after she did not return to the UGA police.[18] At 12:38 p.m.,[20] Riley’s body was discovered by UGA police in Oconee Forest Park behind Lake Herrick.[21]
Her death was caused by blunt force trauma and asphyxiation, according to Athens-Clarke County Coroner.[2][3][22] UGA police described Riley’s killing as a “crime of opportunity” and reported that the killer appeared to have acted alone.[3][23] There had not been a murder in the university since 1983.[24]
Suspect
The suspect is 26-year-old Venezuelan, José Antonio Ibarra, who had entered the United States illegally in September 2022, crossing the US’s southern border with Mexico near El Paso, Texas.[3][23][6] According to Jeffrey Clark, the chief of UGA police, he lived in an apartment complex about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the wooded area where Riley’s body was found.[8] He had been previously arrested by both federal and state officials in multiple jurisdictions. He had a bench warrant issued for his arrest in December 2023 after failing to appear in court in a shoplifting case in Georgia.[25]
In October 2023, the suspect and his brother, who was reported by authorities to be a member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua who temporarily worked at UGA,[26][27][28][29] were arrested by Athens police on theft charges; both were released after reportedly possessing stolen merchandise from a local Walmart.[30][31]

Reactions
Tributes and national attention
Riley’s funeral was held on March 1, 2024, at the Woodstock City Church.[36] Riley was buried at Enon Cemetery in Woodstock, Georgia.[37] Riley’s killing became a “national political case” during what Forbes‘ Sara Dorn called a “historic surge in border crossings during Biden‘s tenure”.[3][38] Riley’s case drew nationwide interest and media attention.[11][39] A memorial was made for Riley at Lake Herrick.[8]
Her family says they plan to establish a foundation in her honor. Her stepfather said: “She will be missed every day, but we promise to honor her life moving forward in a very big way”.[14] Riley’s family started an online fund to raise money for the foundation, called the “Laken Hope Riley Foundation”.[40][41]
Riley’s parents, Jason Riley and Allyson Phillips, were invited to the State of the Union by Georgia Congressman Mike Collins, but they turned down his invitation.[42]Donald Trump mentioned Riley during his speech for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.[43]
President Joe Biden mentioned the killing of Riley during the 2024 State of the Union address,[44] after Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted Riley’s name at the president.[45] Biden was criticized by Democratic members of Congress for referring to Riley’s suspected killer as “an illegal” instead of “undocumented”,[46][47] for which he later expressed regret.[48]
Laken Riley Act
On March 7, 2024, the House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act in a 251–170 vote, with 37 Democratic members joining all Republican members in voting for the bill. If enacted, the Laken Riley Act would mandate federal detention of migrants who commit burglary or theft and would allow states to file suit against the federal government for failing to enforce immigration laws.[49][12]
Immigrants come here legally, what we have now is not immigration is chaos and more than we can handle, we cannot take in everyone that wants to come here legally, let alone what we have now, This is LEGAL ENTRY BY ILLEGAL ALIENS. The Biden- Harris admin are traitors to the American Citizens, its treason, as outlined in our constitution.
We do have open borders, ask the border patrol and immigrants can and have voted even though it is illegal, why the law needs to close loopholes, illegal immigrants are COSTING taxpayers billions per year. Also upping welfare recipients – isn’t adding money to Social Security or society. Read a book!
1. Biden could have reclosed the border at any time he wanted. But he chose Not to.
2. The same men and women that support trump? The same men and women that this current administration called KKK whipping illegal migrants while on horseback trying their hardest to secure our border?
3. Then why won’t democrats vote for the SAFE act?
4. You assume all “white” people were welcome. Italians, Irish, Polish, etc. were not welcome with open arms. They were funneled into ghettos, factory slave shops, and mining towns and used as disposable labor. And all European immigration was cut off when they weren’t needed.
5. Why would we want to keep that same failing system going? To keep the elite establishment in control? They have proven themselves incapable of running the government properly. I say no to their radical plans to prop up the failed state.
Members of the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, from left, Lindsay Aime, James Fleurijean, Viles Dorsainvil, and Rose-Thamar Joseph, stand for worship at Central Christian Church, on Sunday.
SPRINGFIELD — For many Haitian immigrants, Sunday mornings in Springfield, Ohio, are spent joyfully worshipping God as they sing and pray in their native Creole. This Sunday, they needed that uplifting balm more than ever.
Their community is reeling — confused, frustrated, hurt — from false accusations that they are eating their neighbor’s cats and dogs. The now viral and highly politicized rumors are being fueled by former President Donald Trump, his running mate JD Vance and others, and violent threats against the community are upending daily life in their city.
“Jesus is with us in truth, and the truth is that Haitians are not eating pets and geese in Springfield,” said the Rev. Carl Ruby, preaching at Central Christian Church. He invited community members to join his congregation in prayer and peaceful protest of the false rumors leveled against their Haitian neighbors.
They also demanded an apology.
“It is truth that a retraction of these rumors will help to restore peace in Springfield,” Ruby said. “We respectfully call on all politicians and media figures who are promoting this rumor to help make Springfield great and safe again by speaking the truth about our community.”
Viles Dorsainvil, the leader of Haitian Community Help and Support Center in Springfield, accepted Ruby’s invitation to worship together at Central Christian, and was grateful to be relying on his faith.
“It’s important to be here because we’re Christian — despite everything, we worship in good times and bad times,” he said. “I’m relieved that I’m in the presence of God. It’s therapeutic.”
And he had a message for Trump and Vance: “If they have the heart of God, they will think differently and speak differently.”
The rumors, spread on social media and by Trump during Tuesday’s televised presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, have exacerbated fears about division and anti-immigrant sentiment ahead of the election in the mostly white, blue-collar city of about 59,000 where more than 15,000 Haitians now live and work.
Thousands of temporary Haitian migrants have legally landed in Springfield in recent years under the U.S.’s Temporary Protected Status program, as longstanding unrest in their home country has given way to violent gangs ruling the streets.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has said the federal government needs to do more to help cities like Springfield serve the influx of migrants. On ABC’s “This Week,” DeWine called the Haitians good, hardworking people who are in the U.S. legally, and said the false rumors are a piece of internet garbage.
“There’s no evidence of this at all,” he said during the program.
Despite the governor and local officials debunking the rumors, Vance reiterated the conspiracy theory on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS while blasting Harris on her U.S.-Mexico border policy.
At Central Christian Church, Ruby encouraged his congregation to help hand out thousands of cards around Springfield that had been printed in Creole and English with a message of support for Haitians. It reads” “I’m glad you are here. Christ loves you and so do I.”
As the service ended, Ruby praised parishioners for a beautiful moment amid what he called a storm of chaos. Looking at the Haitian members in the first pew and at the rest of his congregation, he asked them to come together in prayer: “Pray and think what it is to be a Haitian parent sending their child this week to school.”
One of those parents is Mia Perez, 35 an immigration lawyer whose 9-year-old daughter had to evacuate her school twice because of bomb threats to a nearby DMV this week.
“Kids in school are being asked by other kids: ’How does the dog taste? How does the cat taste?” Perez said, describing her daughter’s distress.
“She’s asking, ‘Are we the kind of Haitians who eat this kind of stuff?
Is it true? What’s happening?’”
“This is a conversation that I was not ready to have with my daughter,” Perez said. “I felt disrespected of our culture.”
On Sunday, Perez attended a service at Saint Raphael’s Catholic church, while a Springfield police officer stood guard outside. Attendance by Haitians was lower than usual, and Perez — after talking with others who did attend — said many from their community stayed away out of fears for their safety,
“This is emotional,” she said.
“They made a statement of not being here. Catholic Haitian people have such strong faith — not even hurricanes can keep them away but look at this here today.” Another service was held at The First Haitian Church, located next to the Haitian Community Center.
“They feel the threat. They feel not welcome,” Bernardette Dor, 51, one of the pastors, said after the service. “Even in the school system sometimes, they feel different, not because of their skin color but because they’re Haitian. But the reality is that we’re beautiful and we’re blessed.”
Though she worries about repercussions of the false statements, she said gathering to worship with her community and feeling support from others in Springfield gives her hope.
“We are united. It is time for good to stand for good,” she said. “This time the city of Springfield, Haitian people, asked the Lord to stay together to fight for good … America is a great loving country, and American people care for people – it doesn’t matter if they are Haitian. We’re against lies.”
After the service, some parishioners gathered at Rose Goute Creole restaurant for a traditional Haitian meal of rice and beans, fried plantains and pork. One of them, Jacob Payen, said the restaurant has been transformed in recent days.
“We’ve been outnumbered — we have more non-Haitian guests here at the restaurant who are curious to know the culture and Haitian cuisine,” he said. “We feel that they’re sending a strong message: if they’re here eating with us because they trust us.”
Among those attending the earlier service at Central Christian was Rose-Thamar Joseph, 40, who works at the Haitian Community Center.
“I was praying for peace and protection — for the Haitian community and all of Springfield,” she said. “I just want Springfield to go back to what it was a couple of months ago.”
‘Haitians are not eating pets’: Springfield faith leaders stand with migrants.
Carl Ruby, center, and other church representatives hug members of the Haitian community during a service at Central Christian Church in Springfield, Ohio, on September 15.
“Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus is with us in truth. And the truth is that Haitians are not eating pets in Springfield,” said senior pastor Carl Ruby, gripping the pulpit of Central Christian Church in Springfield, Ohio.
Moments later, the 60-person congregation rose to its feet, applauding the five Haitian community leaders visiting Sunday morning
“We love you,” Ruby said to them. “We are glad you’re here.”
Earlier in the week, the small nondenominational church hadn’t been certain they would be worshipping on Sunday. Bomb threats and the presence of hate groups had the city on edge, but the board voted to meet— and Ruby took the opportunity to appeal to both President Biden and former President Trump.
“I call on our former president, President Trump, out of the goodness of his heart, out of the divine spark of God’s image that lives in every human being, to let people know that he was misinformed about what’s happening in our community, and to ask hate groups who are here to leave,” said Ruby. He also called on President Biden to provide additional resources to support the expanding city, which has seen an influx of as many as 20,000 Haitian migrants in the past decade.
The appeal came after the midwestern city was thrust into the national spotlight during last week’s presidential debate, when former President Trump claimed Haitian migrants are “eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Since then, the debunked pet-eating line has become a “memeified” punchline. But for community members, effects of the remark have been no joke.
On Thursday, two schools, Springfield City Hall and Clark County offices, closed in the wake of bomb threats. On Saturday, two Springfield hospitals closed due to bomb threats, and flyers claiming to be from the Trinity White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan—a Kentucky offshoot of the White supremacist group—were reportedly distributed in Springfield.
“Foreigners & Haitians Out,” the flyers read, according to a photo. “Join us and stand against forced immigration.”
Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio, which provides legal, interpretation, and case management services in Springfield but does not resettle migrants there, has faced verbal and written attacks, chief executive Tony Stieritz toldAmerica magazine.
“My daughter asked me, what’s going on dad?” said Harold Herard, an engineer and member of the Haitian Community Help & Support Center who visited Ruby’s church on Sunday. “I tried to explain to her the situation, but I don’t want to put her in a situation of feeling fear about school.”
On Sunday, patrons and cashiers at a Dunkin’ Donuts in the south end of the city traded rumors about Haitians being arrested and consuming pets. But later that afternoon, a different narrative unfolded just around the corner, where about 60 Haitians met at First Evangelical Haitian Church of Springfield for a weekly English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) course.
Normally, the classes are stretched to find English-speaking conversation partners. But this week, about 30 volunteers—many of them from local churches—participated.
“I am with you in the difficulties,” the Haitian students practiced speaking in English. “Mwen avèk ou nan difikilte yo,” the English-speakers learned to respond in Haitian Creole.
At the end of the event, the English speakers distributed flowers and baked goods, while Haitian leaders thanked them for their solidarity.
“We are in amazement at how so much good is coming out of such difficulty,” said Heidi Earlywine, an English teacher and advocate who co-coordinates the ESOL classes.
Despite the welcoming atmosphere, some Haitian ESOL students voiced concerns about the level of scrutiny they’ve faced in Springfield this week, saying the toxic atmosphere had pushed them to consider relocating out of state.
Viles Dorsainvil, president of Springfield’s Haitian Community Help and Support Center and a former Moravian pastor, said he’s also heard Haitians debating whether to leave Springfield. But he hopes people stay a few more weeks before deciding.
“We have so many good leaders working with us,” said Dorsainvil. “And we do our best in our nonprofit to work through this situation with the community. I think that if we just take our time, we will navigate this together. But the tension is here. The fear is here.”
Once a bustling manufacturing town that produced farm equipment and other machinery, Springfield faced race riots in the early 20th century, and struggled with closing factories and a declining population at the tail end of the century. Then, about a decade ago, the city launched a successful effort to bring in several businesses and companies that created thousands of new jobs. Haitian migrants facing political turmoil and gang violence in their home country began to arrive, filling job shortages and opening churches, shops and cafes.
“First Baptist Church is one part of a larger faith community and group of public service agencies that believe in the tremendous gifts that come along with the increase in population,” said Adam Banks, a Springfield pastor who pointed out the benefit of welcoming skilled Haitian professionals, including educators and health care specialists. “As a city that has seen its population decline for decades, this increase provides a great deal of hope.”
Countering rumors that resettlement organizations have been “bussing in” migrants, Herard said Haitians have arrived organically after hearing about jobs from other Haitians in the area. The vast majority are here legally, many as recipients of Temporary Protected Status due to conditions in Haiti. Springfield’s Haitian population has swelled to between 12,000-20,000 in recent years, city officials estimate.
Some longtime Springfield residents called the “pet-eating” rhetoric a distraction from the very real strains on local health, education, and government resources facing the city. The influx of residents has, according to many business owners, landlords, and city officials, been a boon for the declining city, but it has also come with costs. Schools and hospitals are struggling to keep up with the growing population and the need for translation services and ESOL classes. Housing costs have risen, and the sudden increase in new drivers has prompted safety concerns.
In August 2023, tensions between Haitians and longtime Springfield residents ruptured when 11-year-old Aiden Clark was killed in an accident caused by a Haitian migrant who crashed into a school bus. (Clark’s parents have since asked that their family’s tragedy not be used to stoke hatred or be exploited for political gain.)
City Council meetings were suddenly flooded with concerned residents, and Haitians became the targets of beatings and robberies. First Evangelical Haitian Church of Springfield was reportedly broken into. But the fractures were subsiding when, this summer, Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance cited Springfield as a failure of Biden’s immigration strategy.
“It really kind of quieted down until our local leaders reached out to J.D. Vance for help getting financial assistance,” said Ruby. “And instead of providing financial assistance, he politicized it.”
Herard said Springfield’s Haitian community is most in need of better translation services, as well as mental health support, particularly in the wake of last week’s debate. For now, many of Springfield’s churches are giving support by way of English classes, correcting misinformation, and displaying solidarity. At the end of Central Christian Church’s Sunday service, congregants shuffled to the front of the sanctuary where they took Communion elements and bundles of small fliers intended for distribution.
“Mwen byen kontan ou la. Kris la renmen ou e mwen menm tou,” the fliers said in Haitian Creole.
Translated: “I’m glad you are here. Christ loves you and so do I.” Bing Videos
To Herard, the service was a welcome respite. “It was a tough week,” he said.

It’s whoever got him elected when he had no accomplishments.
Barack Obama rented out D.C. office space in 2016, he’s still paying the rent there
Obama is definitely running things for the NeoNazis! All this hate…for the American People
He’s out to finish what he couldn’t do in his 8 years! #PrayForAmerica
During his presidency, he began the purge of the military and the establishment of Progressive Democrats throughout the federal bureaucracy. This group of unelected bureaucrats tied Trump up in court during his presidency, so he couldn’t address it. And when Biden came into office, it continued. It’s part of the Democrat’s plan to turn this country into a one-party dictatorship. All those illegal aliens have been let in for a reason, and the reason is to vote for Democrats. And those youthful military age immigrants to fight for their cause.
If Harris wins this election, and particularly if the Democrats retake the House and keep the Senate, then the republic will end, and the Democrat’s master plan will have won out. You will never see another true presidential race, because the Democrats will grant citizenship to the illegals, who vote between 60 and 70% Democrat, in order to keep the largess going. And the importing of Muslims & Illegals using Alejandro Mayorkas and Julian Castro (HUD), started with Obama in 2009 & continues to this day! NO ONE was paying attention to it during his reign!
At the very top of the pyramid, they all carry out orders from Samyaza and Azazel. It’s been this way for thousands of years, and they are the origin of the illuminati and secret societies. Fun fact: George Washington actually warns us about the illuminati. He wrote extensively about this, and if you look up his writings in the Library of Congress, they’re right there for everyone to see. Go to the gov.com site and see for yourself. 1. Uniparty > Rinos. Dems. Never Trumpers 2. Military Industrial Corporate Complex 3. K Street lobbyists – Wallstreet 4. Multinational Corporations 5. Chinese Money Reps 6. UN, WEF, World Bank, Soros, Bill Gates 7.
The Illuminati (/əˌluːmɪˈnɑːti/; plural of Latinilluminatus, ‘enlightened’) is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name usually refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on 1 May 1776 in Bavaria, today part of Germany. The society’s stated goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. “The order of the day,” they wrote in their general statutes, “is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them.”[1] The Illuminati—along with Freemasonry and other secret societies—were outlawed through edict by Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, with the encouragement of the Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787 and 1790.[2] During subsequent years, the group was generally vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that the Illuminati continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution.
In subsequent use, “Illuminati” has been used when referring to various organisations which are alleged to be a continuation of the original Bavarian Illuminati (though these links have not been substantiated). These organisations have often been accused of conspiring to control world affairs, by masterminding events and planting agents in governments and corporations, in order to gain political power, influence and to establish a New World Order. Central to some of the more widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati are depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power.
Modern Illuminati
Several present-day fraternal orders founded in 1982 claim to be descended from the original Bavarian Illuminati and openly use the name “Illuminati”. Some of these groups use a variation on the name “The Illuminati Order” in the name of their own organizations,[31] while others, such as Ordo Templi Orientis, have Epopt or Perfect Pontiff of the Illuminati as a grade within their organisation’s degree structure. However, there is no evidence that these present-day groups have any real connection to the historic order. They have not amassed significant political power or influence and most, rather than trying to remain secret, promote unsubstantiated links to the Bavarian Illuminati as a means of attracting membership.[22]
The shadow government, also referred to as cryptocracy, secret government, or invisible government, is a family of theories based on the notion that real and actual political power resides not only with publicly elected representatives but with private individuals who are exercising power behind the scenes, beyond the scrutiny of democratic institutions. According to this belief, the official elected government is subservient to the shadow government, which is the true
Who is the administrator of the FEMA? Administrator Deanne Criswell The Emergency Management and Technology Subcommittee maintains oversight of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), the Office of Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD), and the Office of Health Security (OHS).
Which department oversees FEMA?
The Department of Homeland Security Who is in control of FEMA?
The Secretary of Homeland Security. Alejandro Mayorkas.
President Carter established the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on April 1, 1979. [APRIL FOOLS] The joke was on us.
Who founded DHS? President George W. Bush established DHS by signing the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
On March 1, 2003, 22 agencies unified under a single department. Carter. Bush 1&2. Clinton. Obama.
And Kept the shadow govt[FEMA] going. FEMA lost power on March 1, 2024. Why do you think the cabal is pushing for WW3? They need another National Security Act passed. Because the US financial system is set to collapse by the end of this year or beginning fiscal 2025. That’s the “them, they” Biden always refers to.
It’s quite obvious we don’t have a president operating the White House.
I think it’s a committee of all of the above. And they are not scared of us.
All of the above. It’s a cult and it reminds me of the movie “Rosemary’s Baby”
where the evil people conspire and then it finally gets revealed.
Obama – sort of. He’s upper management but not the “big boss” – I am not sure who that is…
I think Soros is between Obama and the big boss. Does anyone really know?
I believe it’s all of them, but there are other characters I have read about.
There’s a book about the Committee of 300 that is very interesting.
Do a little more reading. Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail is a great start.
I think it’s the unelected bureaucrats that hide in the shadows. Not subject to re-election. They’ve been running America for 28 of the past 32 years. They just CANNOT permit another four long years of Trump.
Well, you just listed the names of the real enemy within! These democrats are owned and have been for years!!!! The Democratic Party changed when George Soros bought them! Soon after, Obama was placed! And, You missed a few, such as Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer and John Kerry!
I think probably all of those you mentioned are in cahoots. No doubt with others as well.
What is interesting, how once back in power… they immediately destroyed Afghanistan without thought!
There was a reason for that!
Was all about them! They actually did, to hide their corruption within Afghanistan! Was not about getting out of Afghanistan as Trump wanted it!

@realDonaldTrump did mess up their agenda and timing by becoming a praying Christian instead of a phony one. I never was into this conspiracy theory stuff when I heard someone say Soros. I scrolled past or turned it off. But I have seen the reality of him being the source worldwide. He was taught by WHO, I don’t know. But Satan‘s plan and attack went full speed ahead in 1948 when Israel became a nation, the United States declared Israel a nation, and the UN began. All serious precursors to the tribulation, and then the return of Christ.
John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 7 May 1873)[1] was an English philosopher, political economist, politician and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory, and political economy. Dubbed “the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century” by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,[2] he conceived of liberty as justifying the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control.
Follow the money! Top of the food chain, Scott. Who owns these trillion dollar conglomerates? It sounds cliche but it’s the bankers! Making money out of thin air to use against us and buy up all of our real assets!
Soooooo Scary! Ridiculous! AND ALL PLANNED BY Obama BIDEN AND HARRIS TO DESTRUCT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!
How did we ever allow this???? Can you just imagine another 4-years of this?!?!?!?!
Why hasn’t our military gone in and taken the regime out of the White House? They are putting the American people in danger. That is a safety violation. By all means there has to be a law there that the military can do that with if so, that needs to be done as soon as possible.
He’s right and everyone knows it – The American people have been purposefully put in harm’s way thanks to Dems by allowing the invasion of our borders – The Dem Party – the UN – and the NGOs who are facilitating this invasion all need to be held accountable not only for the invasion but for the deaths they have caused – It didn’t have to be this way – All the Dems had to do was keep Trump’s policies in place for us to remain safe.
Seems the Dem mission is to destroy our economy – our Constitution – our traditions and our very way of life.
This is true. It is also true that the %age of Americans who know this is in the 50’s (most likely)%! We should ALL recognize the kind of trouble we are ALL in. This trouble is here to stay no matter what happens. I say to you my fellow brothers and sisters. Brace yourself!!!
This is Kamala Harris’s America.
She will destroy it until there is nothing left to destroy. This is the American Democracy that won’t work. They all have gone completely mad. It’s like a movie called lunatics gone wild. It’s crazy and beyond insane what they are doing!
The people of America are living in danger every day. Innocent victims all at her own hand allowing these people into our country. She will take our 2A like she stole the 1A. Then we will be unable to defend ourselves.
I ask you, who in the hell would ever consider allowing illegals, undocumented illegals or immigrants or just Anyone who is not a citizen of the United States to Vote for anything ever including best dog catcher of the year, period? Create a crisis nationally, then comes the communist, tyrannical solution all cloaked in kindness. Who Who Who!!!
Forensic Analysis shows two distinct different audios circulated from Trump’s Butler Rally of shots being fired.
Live broadcast audio showing 9 shots total fired. FBI returned confiscated cell phones all with 10 shots total fired, and Crooks fired 8 shots. This is total Propaganda.

I don’t think the FBI is going to give out that information.
I believe the people who shot the videos can remember the real shot fired.
It’s up to Congress to try. We have it on film that Dave Stewart surrendered his cellphone. Why is it that all the videos taken on the AGR side of the fence have the 10 shot version? Why is it that all the TV broadcast audios show only 9 total shots? I hear 14 shots, not 10, on Dave’s audio.
The Right attacked Mexican president-elect Claudia Sheinbaum for being a “Jewish foreigner” and communist during her campaign.
Her grandfather and his brother, emigrants from Lithuania, were both of these things. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo made history as Mexico’s first female president-elect, winning nearly 60 percent of the vote. The writing was on the wall from the beginning. The Mexican right, though, seemed to start out its campaign confident in victory. As the polls stubbornly continued to show Sheinbaum’s tremendous lead over Xóchitl Gálvez, the opposition coalition became obviously desperate.
Increasingly, the campaign by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), National Action Party (PAN), and Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) went negative, opting for personal attacks. Sheinbaum’s Jewish heritage was an obvious target, but the tack the Right took is striking: it tried using this fact to show that she was not actually Mexican.
This idea actually predates the electoral campaign, with social media rumors that have spread since at least 2021 alleging that Sheinbaum, then mayor of Mexico City, was born in Europe and was therefore ineligible for the presidency. But it was presented most explicitly when former right-wing president Vicente Fox, who rode the #Resistance wave to a blip of US relevance early in Donald Trump’s presidency, went so far as to attack her as a “Bulgarian Jew” and a “Jewish foreigner.”
Sheinbaum’s Jewish heritage was an obvious target, but the tack the Right took is striking: they tried using it to show that she was not actually Mexican. Fox himself was only able to become president thanks to a 1990 constitutional reform that removed the requirement that presidents have two Mexican-born parents. Sheinbaum’s closest rival in the race for her party’s nomination, former foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard, is also the grandchild of European immigrants, has two French last names, and actually lived in France from 2015 to 2017. So why is it Sheinbaum who is accused of being a foreigner?
Chone Sheinbaum’s Final Escape
In the meantime, the Jewish left in Mexico was experiencing a steep decline. Communists and Bundists fought bitterly throughout the 1940s, with their movements weakening and Zionism becoming the community’s dominant expression of ethnic activism by the ’50s. The fact that Claudia Sheinbaum today appears to be at least a non-Zionist — she condemned Israel’s assault on Gaza in 2009 and follows Los Otros Judíos, a page run by anti-Zionist Chilean Jews, on Twitter/X — could have something to do with her paternal family’s influence.
The fact that Claudia Sheinbaum today appears to be at least a non-Zionist could have something to do with her paternal family’s influence.
Though back in his party, the waves of repression that Chone Sheinbaum had lived through were not over. Throughout the 1950s, the PCM and other communist parties in Mexico endured a new onslaught by the governments of Miguel Alemán and Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, with communists frequently kidnapped, jailed, and purged from labor unions. In 1957, Chone himself became a victim of this violence. At this point a member of the State Committee of the PCM’s Jalisco branch, he was abducted by state agents and interrogated about his own activities and those of his twenty-four-year-old son Carlos, who had been the organizational secretary of the Communist Youth (FJCM) since he was nineteen.
Perhaps inspired by the United States’ 1954 demand that Mexico extradite exiled Guatemalans who had fled their country after the coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the Mexican government attempted to hand him over to the Guatemalan military dictatorship. (There is some irony in the fact that, in October, his granddaughter will take the reins of the state that not only did this to him but that has in recent years deported thousands over the Mexico-Guatemala border.)
Transported to the southern border state of Chiapas, Chone was assigned a guide who would escort him overland to Guatemala and deliver him to the military junta. But again displaying the talent for survival he showed throughout his life, Sheinbaum managed to escape custody on the road and return to the capital of Chiapas. There he was recaptured but managed to get in touch with his wife and a lawyer. Probably given the blatant illegality of his deportation, he was freed, returning to Guadalajara.
Who Is Mexican?
Chone Sheinbaum died in Mexico City in 1989. He had outlived his party: the PCM was officially dissolved in 1981. Its last remnants were integrated into the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in 1987. Even if he was no longer an active militant, Chone would have been well aware of these developments — his granddaughter Claudia was married to one of the PRD’s founders, a fellow student leader.
With a family history like Claudia Sheinbaum’s, one might well wonder why the presidential candidate of a popular left party did not play up her political pedigree. She mentioned her parents’ participation in the 1968 student movement — what stronger way to prove her Mexicanness than to emphasize her generational ties to the nation’s historical left in their entirety?
With a family history like Claudia Sheinbaum’s, one might well wonder why the presidential candidate of a popular left party did not play up her political pedigree. From Sheinbaum and Morena’s point of view, the answer was probably simple: to emphasize her family background — whether in its recent immigrant, Jewish, or communist dimensions — would likely hurt rather than help her.
Anti-communism remains a staple discourse of the Mexican right, and the racial component of national identity that took shape in the 1930s endures. It does not help that the country’s small Jewish community is widely seen as a cloistered and conservative bourgeoisie. In this sense, neglecting to mention the Sheinbaum family’s Jewish-communist history could reflect a realistic reading of what the Mexican electorate finds acceptable in 2024.
But that careful trending also raises questions that echo from the time of Chone Sheinbaum’s militancy in the Mexican Communist Party. For anti-communists, a communist is by definition a foreigner. Unable to see how class struggle is born out of society’s own contradictions, reactionaries since Edmund Burke have hunted for the external agents and outside agitators who must be manipulating the mob. Communists, Jews, and migrants are one and the same in the anti-communist mind, all inherently foreign to the national body.
Today hundreds of thousands of foreigners are traversing Mexico.
In 2023, the International Organization for Migration registered the record-setting figure of more than 782,000 irregular migratory events, up 77% from 2022 and part of a 132 percent increase since 2021. Most of these people are bound for the United States, but like Eastern European Jews in the ’20s, thousands of them will surely settle in Mexico. Historic Afro-Mexican and Asian Mexican communities tend to live in ethnic enclaves — how will national identity handle large numbers of residents who can be spotted as non-Mexican, either nationally or racially, living in places where they were previously invisible?
These questions have increasingly serious stakes.
Real estate speculation and gentrification are rampaging through Mexico City, Oaxaca, and other centers, with working people priced out and often physically thrown out of their homes at the behest of landlords and developers. A few weeks ago, Mexico City woke to find English-language posters in the historic center reading “Gringo go back to your country.
Mexico is for Mexicans, no one else.”
Many self-identified progressives nodded — it was only later that some realized that the same prints were part of a series of posters attacking migrants, Jews, Muslims, abortion, and gays, produced by Mexicans in Defense of the Nation (MDN). Who are they? Their social media shows a neo-Nazi group claiming the mantle of Revolutionary Mexicanist Action (RAM), the Gold Shirt fascists of the ‘30s.
Groups like MDN are marginal in Mexico, but if Morena’s answer to problems as critical as the housing question is half-hearted regulations on Airbnb (and in the absence of a popular movement advancing a strong structural analysis of gentrification), fascists posing as anti gentrification fighters may find more purchase for their ideas — and their answer to the question of who is Mexican is very clear.
In the 1930s, as the state shaped immigration policy to favor foreigners it thought would be most easily assimilable, the Mexican Communist Party actively incorporated “undesirable” foreigners into its ranks. It campaigned against fascist groups like the Pro-Race Committee, whose antisemitism the party recognized as a ploy to channel mass discontent away from capitalists and toward Jewish, Chinese, and Arab workers in Mexico. Can the militant potential of the thousands of migrants in Mexico today be activated by any of the country’s progressive forces? With millions of people on the move across the Global South today, the answer to that question will resonate far beyond Mexico’s borders.body.fm (bxscience.edu)
The Jews that opened the Gates of Toledo
Judaism Islam
During the 7th and 8th centuries Iberia (Spain and Portugal), was a divided kingdom ruled by the Catholic Visigoths, the region was home to a Jewish minority who suffered intolerable persecution under these Christian rulers.
In 558 Ferreol, Bishop of Uzes ordered the Jews of his diocese to convert to Catholicism, those that didn’t abandon their faith were expelled from the region
In 694 Catholic bishops issued a decree that the Jews were traitors and should have their wealth confiscated and face perpetual slavery.
In 654 King Recceswinth of Toledo forbade Jews from keeping the Sabbath, dietary laws, marriage laws and circumcising their young
In 633 the Fourth Council of Toledo even described the Jews, who were allegedly proselytizing their beliefs, as “the Antichrist‟s ministers.”
In 633 the Fourth Council of Toledo declared that all Jews must be baptized.
In the spring of 711, a Muslim army invaded Iberia led by Tariq ibn Ziyad, serving the Arab governor Musa ibn Nusayr, at Guadalete they swiftly defeated Roderick (Luthariq) the Visigoth King and then marched northward to the Visigoth capital of Toledo. Both Latin and Arabic chroniclers record that the Jews of the city “opened the gates of Toledo” to Tariq, who conquered the city. With more cities to take, Tariq left Toledo and entrusted its protection to a garrison of Jewish soldiers, who had risen up against the Catholic Visigoths and opened the gates.
When Tariq’s master, Musa ibn Nusayr, arrived in Iberia with a large Arab force he seized Seville and like Tariq before him, he entrusted the city to its Jewish inhabitants until his return. Had the Jews of Iberia not been the victims of such continuous barbarity from their Christian neighbours it is unlikely they’d have turned on them, but with the Muslim invasion these oppressed people tasted a freedom they hadn’t for centuries.
There is no greater example of Jewish and Muslim coexistence than al-Andalus, the Jews not only fought side by side with their Muslim cousins, but under the caliphates born out of the conquests the Jews lived as a free and protected people who were able reach the highest of positions in this new society.

Executive Order 12148 was an executive order enacted by President Jimmy Carter on July 20, 1979, to transfer and reassign duties to the newly formed agency, known as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), created by Executive Order 12127.
The order combined several federal agencies tasked with emergency preparedness and civil defense spread across the executive departments into a unified entity that was established as an independent agency, free of Cabinet interference, with authority as the lead federal agency in a presidentially-declared disaster.
The agency’s place within the governmental structure was changed on March 1, 2003, when FEMA became part of the Department of Homeland Security‘s Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate.You also have the Continuity of Govt [COG].
Most particularly 1 and 2. It reads in part: Federal Continuity Directives 1 and 2 1- PURPOSE: This Federal Continuity Directive (FCD) provides direction to the Federal Executive Branch for developing continuity plans and programs.

People just don’t steal. In any urban area in America, everything would be stolen and there would be people shooting up drugs in the booth. Why can’t we get our public safety to this level in the richest country on earth?
Thanks for pointing out to everyone that Asia is nice, and the US is a shithole,
but Americans, you made your bed, now sleep in it and stay out of Asia.
It looks lovely, but I think it would take about ten years of very specific policies and hard rules to get our cities to look like that. Also, Japan has an average IQ of 106, America has an average IQ of 98. It takes a collective effort and similar thinking to clean up a city.
In JAPAN…. it’s their culture.
Even if Tokyo had fewer policemen, they would behave like they are because it’s ingrained in their culture. US culture for much of urban areas is based on rap music, politics, & victimization mentality and that will take future generations of change to fix
Why? Simple: The Japanese family is stable, loving, smart, productive, respectful, etc.
The positive traits we see in the Japanese family are mocked and ridiculed here in the US. If we could cure the tens of millions of dysfunctional homes in the US would solve pretty much all of our problems. They have 912 murder cases in Japan per year compared to 21,156 murder cases US per year …. Japan doesn’t have a problem with dysfunction compared to the U.S.A.
Add … respect is taught in schools. They don’t teach entitlement.
The entitled folks are everyday Americans: Don’t bother to go to school.
Don’t bother to send their kids to school dressed appropriately.
Don’t bother to clean their own house.
Don’t bother to keep America clean
Woke Entitlement vs. the American Dream:
Why We Must Close the Border and Exercise Our Rights!!!
“Woke” is not about entitlement. It’s about treating people with respect and understanding. It’s about hiring the best person for the job and looking past things we may find disconcerting. Well, apparently we’re all “racist” if we don’t let the whole world in, give them everything they want (for basically free…although some I’m assuming want to work) and we’re just supposed to say F OFF and YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN to our own people, who’ve come legally, and even who’ve gave their sons to war for this country.
What entitles the U.S. oil and gas industries to have the taxpayer funded U.S. Military act as their own private security force?
Securing oil fields, escorting tankers in the mid-east, soldiers’ lives sacrificed,
with no breaks for the American consumer at the pumps!
How the Dems have the AUDACITY to think this flies w/the American People is beyond me – perhaps they “hide” those facts in Freebies for those here, so they don’t look so bad doing it?
America has always been a land of opportunity, drawing immigrants seeking a better life through hard work and determination. Historically, immigrants have come to the United States with dreams of freedom and prosperity, embracing the nation’s values and contributing to its growth. However, today’s immigration landscape has shifted, with some newcomers adopting a mentality of entitlement influenced by woke ideologies. This shift has significant implications for American society. The sense of entitlement among some immigrants undermines the foundational principles of self-reliance and personal responsibility that have long defined the American Dream. Instead of integrating and contributing positively to the nation, this mentality fosters division and places undue strain on public resources. America has the right and responsibility to control its borders and determine who enters the country. This is essential for maintaining national security, economic stability, and social cohesion.
Open borders and unchecked immigration threaten these core aspects of American society. The influx of individuals without proper vetting can lead to increased crime, job displacement for American workers, and a burden on social services. Closing the border and implementing strict immigration policies are necessary steps to preserve the nation’s integrity. This approach ensures that those who enter the country are committed to upholding American values and contributing positively to society. By exercising our right to control immigration, we can protect the American Dream for future generations and maintain the nation’s security and prosperity. Moreover, it’s crucial to address the broader ideological issues at play. The rise of woke ideologies and their influence on immigration policy reflects a deeper cultural divide. These ideologies often promote victimhood and entitlement, undermining the principles of meritocracy and individual responsibility that are the bedrock of American society.
In conclusion, the need to close the border and exercise our rights is not just a matter of policy but a defense of the values that make America great. By taking a firm stand on immigration, we can ensure that the American Dream remains achievable for those who seek it and are willing to work hard for it. This approach will help maintain the nation’s unity, security, and prosperity in the face of growing ideological and demographic challenges.

How is it possible that an organization uses the word “Shabbat Nachamu” – Search (bing.com) while endorsing hate and xenophobia? Our Jewish people lost our first temple (according to Isaiah) because we treated orphans, widows & strangers terribly, refused to be compassionate to the poor & were unjust.
Please stop with this “woke” bullshit.
It’s been diluted to meaninglessness. People call anything they don’t like “woke”. When I see people using this terminology, I know that they are mindless sheep who have nothing but regurgitated sound bytes circling their smooth brains. I hope we’re prepared to hold these NGOs – Search (bing.com) that are carrying out the U.N.’s planned replacement migration and The Club of Rome’s “emerging New Civilizations scheme’s responsible, including the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Catholic Charities, Red Cross, and much more.
“Creating stronger border enforcement does not relieve us as a country of also meeting our obligation as a humane nation of laws to ensure that migrants who arrive at the border and claim asylum are treated well and have their claims processed quickly and fairly.”
“U.S. leaders must become more strategic and more engaged in helping nations in our hemisphere fight cartel violence and the rise of autocracy. Our border is in crisis because Latin America is. Walls are no solution there.” Welcome to any immigrant who legally applies for entry within. Who is willing to work for a better future for their family. Who remembers and honors their birth country but tries to integrate into American culture.
But don’t come and expect a lifetime of handouts.
Let’s hope the repubs finally begin to understand this and actually pass the laws that protect all people and bring the immigration policy up to accepted standards rather than trying to shut down the border and claim that throwing around the “woke” mentality is the way to go.
That’s all well & good, but we have to remember the kind of people who break laws to get things – total narcissists! That’s why we call them illegal aliens, the legal term. It takes time to be naturalized citizens; vetting/testing are a huge stress, but it’s what’s needed. How long will Earth exist? (msn.com)
They’re NOT immigrants, they’re NOT newcomers, they’re illegal aliens that need to go back home and do it the legal way.
When I think of the word WOKE.
It is an indication of 1) lazy readers 2) the virile reactions of Americans to that one word. * woke = American contraction with …some newcomers adopting a mentality of entitlement influenced by woke ideologies.” Do you think there weren’t “some newcomers” entering the U.S. in the 1920s, with the same mentality? (Or at any other time in history?). 1/
What about the mobs from the last century? (And Italians weren’t the only ones).
Do you think honest, hard-working, tax paying immigrants should be refused the right to own homes? If so, how many of your grandparents and great grandparents would have been rejected?? 2/
“I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience,” Ronald Reagan …

The American dream has been stolen by the greedy corporations, politicians, and the super rich for a while now. You are delusional if you think a grifting, greedy, lying, fascist, traitorous, raping, felon will improve things.
The so-called American dream belongs to Americans, not those who sneak across the border illegally. And these people are not working and many don’t know English. They are staying in $600 dollar a night hotels, free food, free healthcare, monthly allowance. What the hell are you talking about?
The “American Dream” has died already, the brief “middle class” period after WW2 is over, and capitalism is dead and greedy corporatism – Search (bing.com) is the problem globally. The US empire is the cause of economic migration as well as poverty in the US were millions of people almost homeless right now, with many of them working.
I agree we should have the choice to monitor and look at the background of individuals coming into our country for our and our kids’ safety. But with both parties fighting for supremacy, good laws are being thrown out because the other party wants recognition when safety is key.
Trump won ! MAGA I am Awake not woke…Faith Family and Freedom
Many Liberals will tell you most on welfare are whites isn Red States in the United States.
Don’t be afraid to take a stand and speak your truth.
Paul Krugman is in puzzlement, having observed that Red States get more welfare funding, while Republican voters oppose the welfare state. He portrays Republicans as “Moochers” who are either hypocritical or too stupid to know their own best interest.
But as we know, states do not vote, individuals do.
There is only a paradox if Republican voters receive welfare at above average rates while voting against it. From the Gellman-paradox we know that the low-income voters who drag down the Red States average tend to vote disproportionally for Democrats. Republican voters earn significantly more than Democrats, even though Red states earn less than Blue states.
Krugman reports no individual level data, so let me. The Maxwell Poll has detailed information about welfare use. The data is from 2004-2007. During this period in these polls a plurality of voters supported Democrats. I will graph the two-party vote, more data is at the end.
Hardly surprising, we see that in a two-party split, 60-80% of welfare recipients are Democrats, while full time Workers are evenly divided between parties. You have similar results in this recent NPR-Poll. Among the Long Term Unemployed, 72% of the two-party support goes to Democrats. It appears that once more common sense is right and the impression left by the New York Times wrong.
Indeed, people who live off the government disproportionally support Democrats. Given that Krugman is aware of the Gellman-Paradox, he should have reported the individual level data first instead of wasting everyone’s time with state-level aggregation that we already know is wrong.
Instead he acknowledges that state level data is probably wrong (to get cover), then goes ahead and relies on the wrong method anyway, since it produces the results he wants. The false impression that Republicans use more welfare is already spread around the internet by liberals who still trust Krugman.
Appendix:
Share of Recipients of each program that self-identified as supporters of Republican party in 2004-2007 Maxwell Poll:
Gov. Subsidized Housing 12% Medicaid: 16% Food Stamps: 20% Unemployment Compensation: 21% Welfare or public assistance: 22% Disability benefits from government 25%
Everyone needs to put politics aside and do what is BEST for the country.
Actually solving problems requires Democrats and Republicans to work together, like they did on the recent border bill that Trump told y’all to throw in the trash. You create the problems, then refuse to solve them, then scream about the problems that you refuse to solve.
Vetted immigrants with degrees in critical fields like engineering, medicine, and dentistry bring valuable skills that directly enhance the economy. These individuals fill gaps in the workforce, contribute to innovation, and often create jobs through entrepreneurship. Immigrants with high net worths provide investment, boost economic activity, and help fund new businesses, further benefiting their new countries.
On the other hand, unskilled illegal immigrants who do not speak English often place strain on communities. While it’s true that their presence can create jobs in sectors like law enforcement, jail construction, and even funeral homes, this is not a sustainable or positive way to grow a society. Instead, it creates fear and increases crime rates, which leads to further division and instability.
You demonstrate you know nothing about immigrants.
You just believe the racist propaganda from hateful nasty people like Laura Loomer. The Haitians are valued workers who employers love. They come to work every day. They do their job and do it well. They don’t call in sick. They’re not addicted to drugs. They appreciate getting out of Haiti and away from violence. It is
Immigrants are the only people I see who are doing cleaning, landscaping, picking crops, babysitting, working in laundry facilities, painting buildings and homes, housekeeping in hotels and other jobs that citizens do not want to do. Who did you say was entitled? The key is striking a balance—welcoming immigrants who can enrich society with their skills, investments, and contributions while ensuring proper vetting to avoid negative impacts on communities.
Come into the USA legally. Problem solved.
I know about 80 illegals; & EVERYONE OF THEM sends most of their American dollars (illegally earned) back to their other country & plan to retire there with their families and American retirement. The dollar buys more than their currency. China owns us, but we KEEP PRINTING DOLLAR$.
In total, an estimated 10.9 million undocumented immigrants in the United States paid $96.7 billion to federal, state, and local governments in 2022, according to the think tank’s investigation, which used data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service.
1/2- “Close the border” is a meaningless talking point. The borders can’t be closed completely. The US has a trade agreement with Mexico & Canada. The borders have to be open for transportation of goods to & from the US, tourism, etc.
2/2-The borders can’t be closed to people seeking asylum. The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law after World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Refugee Convention into US law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980.

Most liberal commentary is ignorant of reality and such philosophy is why the border situation continues to plague us. Let’s identify the issues, create and implement solutions. No one wants people strolling in nor do they want people abused. This is easy stuff for a modern civilization.
If you’re not an Indian, you are an immigrant in America.
Don’t deny others what was given to you whole-heartedly.
You’re Welcome into The United States but Come Legally.
I just don’t see how any red-blooded American in their right mind can vote for an empty headed sleeping her way to the top pole dancing communist over President Trump.
Am I missing something?
COMMR ☭ADE H☭ARRIS supports: -Abolishing ICE -Decriminalizing illegal crossings -Defunding the police -Mandatory gun buybacks (confiscations) -Nationalizing energy -Banning fracking -Banning offshore drilling -Abolishing the filibuster -Supporting the GND -Ending private health insurance -Free healthcare for all including illegals -Mass amnesty for illegals -Ending the death penalty -Abolishing prisons -Ending cash bail -Ending mandatory minimum sentences -Imposing carbon tax -Child gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy
Let’s make a LIST of what American Voters expect from our President, … and see if she is even a “Fit” for America, … perhaps “President of Cuba” would suit her better?
She hasn’t been a “fit’ for America for as long as she’s been V.P. she will definitely not be a fit for President. Our enemies will laugh at us harder than they do with Biden.
She supports Marxism.
People come here to escape the tyranny and lack freedoms she proposes.
Democrats are Well known for using crooked machines, crooked people, crooked techniques but supposedly they’re the party of truth justice and democracy… socialist democracy but democracy. I think they are Underscoring TRUMP By KEEPING her numbers high so their cheating won’t be so obvious. Remember Biden? If you don’t want a repeat please get out & vote TRUMP. Or you can allow Dems to use you again & then ignore you until the next election. Your choice.
Nobody w/a functioning brain stem wants nasty sociopath pathological liar SCAB HOE Kuntmala anywhere near the WH for another 4yrs of chaos, destructions of every kind, breaking laws, cheating in our elections, She doesn’t have a prayer of winning the WH unless the Demonrats cheat again!
She’s not even close to Trump’s numbers. If you recall they said this same exact thing about Killary in 2016! Dumb and Dumber!! GOD & TRUMP 2024!!!
YOU can PROJECT all you want, and you can depress the minds of the voters to infinity, however, YOU WILL NOT overcome the MASSIVE wave
of ANGRY CITIZENS that WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP!!!
DID KAMALA LIE IN THE DEBATE ABOUT U.S FORCES?
How could Dems voters be so blind to Kamala’s arrogant and flagrant lies
..and ABC let this slide
During the debate with Trump, Kamala claimed that no U.S forces were in active combat zones, however U.S Central Command said that U.S forces were in operation in Western Iraq on August 29. 7 U.S. soldiers were injured as more than 200 troops from both the U.S and Iraq, including elite Army Rangers backing up the main assault force, hunted down fighters in bunkers over miles of remote terrain.
Despite Harris’s lack of a national security platform, Democrats are entering a new phase of feverish speculation surrounding who might be tapped to create, and execute, her foreign policy agenda. Meanwhile, over 200 billion was spent on Ukraine & Israel.
President Donald Trump is likely to secure victory in Arizona, thereby gaining 11 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast: • Both candidates show strong financial backing for their campaigns, with no significant advantage for either side. However, despite public appearances, there is a minor indication of a downward trend in financial contributions and donor support for President Trump. • There are indications of a potential health issue concerning President Trump’s digestive system and dietary habits, which may be intentionally kept from public view. It appears that a surgical procedure is likely in the lead-up to November 5. • Astrological signatures suggest a likelihood of up to 20% of the voting machines failing or needing replacement on election day, indicating potential disruptions and delays. • This contest is predicted to be fiercely competitive, and it is highly probable that the final results for Arizona will not be available by the close of day on November 5. Despite the anticipated delay and potential legal challenges, it is expected that President Donald Trump will ultimately prevail over Vice President Kamala Harris. President Trump will need to diligently strive to secure every aspect of this victory.

Georgia: Vice President Harris Predicted to Win
Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to secure victory in Georgia, thereby gaining 16 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast: • It appears that Georgia has not fully learned from the 2020 election experiences, which may lead to renewed concerns about the integrity of the vote and electoral procedures. • The Harris campaign is projected to significantly outspend the Trump campaign in Georgia. • Reports of financial impropriety involving election workers may emerge. • This race is not anticipated to be competitive, with Vice President Harris expected to achieve a decisive victory. Therefore, any legal challenges are unlikely to have a substantial impact on the 2024 election. • The projected success of the Harris campaign in Georgia is likely to stem from their effective management of narratives across different demographic groups. • Despite the expected loss, President Trump, though frustrated with the electoral management issues, is likely to remain focused on other states, as he does not appear to be relying on Georgia for his overall victory.

Michigan: Vice President Harris Predicted to Win
Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to secure victory in Michigan, thereby gaining 15 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast: • This race is not expected to be competitive, with Vice President Harris likely securing a decisive victory in Michigan. • She is anticipated to gain substantial support from the Muslim communities in Dearborn, Hamtramck, Detroit, Southgate, and Ann Arbor. • The strong support for Vice President Harris will likely be fueled by civil rights issues, including racial inequality, police reform, voting rights, economic inequality, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice (particularly concerning industrial pollution and access to clean water), housing discrimination, immigration rights, disability rights, and education equity. • Despite some dissatisfaction with the Democratic leadership in Michigan, voters see the Democrats as the favorable choice, especially in light of President Trump’s polarizing presence. There seems to be little chance of a Trump victory in the state. It would be advisable for his campaign to allocate resources to more competitive states. • Any legal challenges following the election results are expected to be unsuccessful, as it is unlikely that a compelling case will be presented, and judges are anticipated to rule decisively against President Trump. • Consequently, a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris in Michigan seems imminent, indicating a setback for President Trump in the state.
Nevada: Vice President Harris Predicted to Win
Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to secure victory in Nevada, thereby gaining 6 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast • Vice President Harris is expected to garner support from women, LGBTQ+ communities, and pro-choice advocates due to her stance on gender equality and reproductive rights. Conversely, former President Trump is anticipated to receive widespread backing from male voters. • The Native American population in Nevada should not be overlooked by the Harris campaign, as their votes could prove pivotal. It is noteworthy that President Biden secured the state with a margin of approximately 40,000 votes in the previous election. Although the Native American population in Nevada is relatively small, estimated between 40,000 to 60,000 individuals, their support could help widen the margin between the candidates. • A commitment to easing taxation and regulations on tobacco use and sales could be advantageous for the Harris campaign. Similarly, the Trump campaign could appeal to Native American tribes with a parallel strategy to potentially capture some of Vice President Harris’s voter base. • Nonetheless, projections suggest that Vice President Harris is likely to achieve a decisive victory in Nevada. Any legal challenges from the Trump campaign are expected to be resolved in the courts without significant impact. It seems that the Trump campaign is not heavily reliant on winning Nevada, indicating that a potential loss may not significantly affect their overall strategy.

North Carolina: President Trump Predicted to Win
President Donald Trump is likely to secure victory in North Carolina, thereby gaining 16 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast • North Carolina plays a crucial role in President Trump’s path to the presidency. Based on my earlier projections, this state is expected to give President Trump 271 electoral votes, exceeding Vice President Harris’s total of 248 votes. • For Vice President Harris, this result represents a situation of being “so near yet so far.” Although the race will be competitive, President Trump is projected to gain a 3-point advantage, with the final tallies showing approximately 51.5% for Trump and 48.5% for Harris. • North Carolina’s significant environmental challenges present opportunities to strengthen campaign messages. Candidates could focus on addressing issues like the cleanup of the Cape Fear River basin and the management of hog farming waste. Providing practical solutions for these concerns may boost voter enthusiasm. • There is a potential for severe weather in early November. Even though it’s the end of hurricane season, past events, such as Hurricane Eta in November 2020—which did not make landfall in North Carolina—demonstrate the possibility. Such weather could cause delays and interruptions in the vote counting process.

President Trump is likely to secure victory in Pennsylvania, thereby gaining 19 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast: • This upcoming election in Pennsylvania is set to be a formidable and incredibly close contest between President Trump and Vice President Harris. President Trump will need to exert considerable effort (i.e. fight like hell) to secure a victory. • Key support demographics for Vice President Harris include workers from unions, the medical community, and farmers. She is also likely to garner strong support from the Asian-American community. • Broadly, support for President Trump is expected from various working-class groups, including farmers, miners, construction workers, sanitation workers, and general labor sectors. • While there is a strong vocal sentiment in favor of Vice President Harris, there is also an anticipated silent “MAGA” vote for change in Pennsylvania. • The vote counting process is expected to be inconsistent, with no clear statistical pattern and varying batch sizes. Trends may reverse unexpectedly, with shifts in lead candidates. • Additionally, there might be instances of unexpected ballot discoveries of varying quantities (from very small to extremely large), leading to delays in declaring results, possibly requiring multiple counts to determine the winner. • The margin of victory is also expected to be very close, and perhaps close enough to trigger an automatic recount. • Election results might not be available until Friday, or even Saturday or Sunday, of the voting week, necessitating extended hours for electoral workers, with some having to work on their day off to get the job done. • There are likely to be resurfacing allegations about voting machines, potentially including claims of internet connectivity. • Concerns may also arise regarding the authenticity of certain ballots, reminiscent of issues raised in 2020, with some ballots appearing unusually pristine. • Legal challenges are expected to arise, but there is an indication that the renowned Democratic legal representatives may not succeed this time, with most judges ruling in favor of President Trump. • The conduct of the election may be characterized by accusations of unlawful activities (including allegations of theft and cheating) on one side, while the opposing side might be criticized for having a contentious nature, engaging in public disputes, and violating rules and regulations. • There is a possibility that one side may resort to unrest following the results, leading to several arrests. • In summary, this election promises to be intensely contested and highly volatile, truly a firecracker of an election!

Wisconsin: President Trump Predicted to Win
President Donald Trump is likely to secure victory in Wisconsin, thereby gaining 10 electoral votes. Key Insights from the Forecast • President Trump is poised for victory in Wisconsin, though it will be a challenging process rather than a straightforward triumph. He is expected to defeat Vice President Harris in a race marked by significant hurdles and mental exertion. • The Harris campaign may emphasize allegations of sexual misconduct and scandals as part of their strategy in Wisconsin; however, this approach is not expected to yield substantial results. • Republican-leaning areas in Wisconsin are likely to strongly support President Trump. Interestingly, some regions that traditionally favor the Democratic Party may also lean toward him. • Although Vice President Harris might take an early lead, President Trump is projected to ultimately clinch the victory. • As additional batches of votes are tallied, Vice President Harris is expected to make significant strides in closing the gap. However, these efforts may not be sufficient to surpass President Trump. Wisconsin appears to be trending toward a Trump victory, with him anticipated to ultimately secure the win. • Despite potential challenges regarding vote counting and ballot integrity, President Trump is advised to accept his victory with grace and avoid engaging in public disputes, recounts, or costly legal challenges. Such actions could risk diminishing his vote count and incur substantial legal fees and potential fines.

Final Assessment: President Trump Predicted to Win US Elections 2024
My final assessment indicates that President Donald Trump is on track to win the presidency and become the next President of the United States. He is expected to secure 275 electoral votes, surpassing Vice President Harris’s total of 263 votes.
Election Results Delay and Legal Strategy The upcoming election cycle is anticipated to echo the complexities of the 2020 elections, with results potentially delayed as the counting and certifying processes take time. Clarity on the final winner is not anticipated until states certify their electors by the constitutional deadline of December 11. This could lead to concerns over the potential for manipulation or the discovery of misplaced ballots. Both parties are expected to make accusations and counter-claims, aiming to undermine each other.
This situation is a significant test for the Trump campaign, urging caution in their responses. There is a possibility that _ _ _ _ _ _ misconduct allegations may arise from a member of the Trump Campaign team or a past acquaintance. It would be prudent for President Trump to minimize public comments, allowing lawyers to handle disputes in court rather than addressing them personally in the public media. While it may not align with his usual approach, it is advisable for him to seriously consider this strategy. Legal teams should be fully prepared, as resolution may ultimately be decided through court proceedings.
Key Dates and Events
On December 17, anticipate significant drama as electors meet to cast their votes in their respective states, with the potential for violent attempts to disrupt and delay the process. Further disruptions and protocol deviations are anticipated around January 6, potentially leading to increased tension, public unrest, and delays. Public gatherings, especially in the national capital, should be avoided to prevent violent disruptions. The honorable US Congress is unlikely to complete counting and certifying the election results before the end-of-day on January 9. From a security perspective, President Trump should consider suspending public engagements from January 18 until his transition ceremony on January 20. Considering the challenging circumstances and the inauspicious timing of assuming office, this presidency is likely to be difficult, with the possibility of impeachment proceedings being considered from the outset.
Network Security and Potential Cyber Threats
On November 5 and the ensuing days, there is a significant risk of internet and network disruptions, requiring the honorable U.S. Cyber Command to be highly vigilant against potential UDP Flood Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks may appear to come from multiple locations but are likely originating from specific foreign sources, such as C _ _ _ _ and surprisingly G _ _ _ _ _ _ (cryptic hint for the observant few). The impact of such an attack could be metaphorically comparable to an earthquake, potentially exceeding over 100 million bits per second in network disruption. The main objective of such an event would be to slow the voting and counting process, demoralize the public, and create opportunities to potentially undermine vote integrity.
Preparedness for Disruptive Events and the Importance of Mail-In Voting
There is a possibility that natural disasters, such as severe weather events, could disrupt the voting or counting process. Given these uncertainties, it is strongly recommended to take advantage of mail-in voting while the opportunity remains available. Utilizing mail-in ballots ensures that your vote is counted even if unforeseen circumstances prevent in-person voting. This proactive approach to voting safeguards your participation in the democratic process, regardless of potential disruptions caused by natural events on November 5. There is an indication of a “high-frequency” event. Those who are observant will understand the cryptic hint and implications.
Advisory on Potential Security Risks During the Election Period
There is a potential risk of disruptive incidents, including gun violence or orchestrated false flag events, on November 4 and 5, which could distract from the voting and counting process. This could also be covertly designed to influence voting behavior based on the reactions triggered by the event. Such events might occur at entertainment venues, particularly in nightlife areas associated with LGBTQ+ communities. It is advisable to exercise caution by staying home in the evenings on these dates and limiting interactions to family settings. Taking these precautions can help ensure personal safety during this sensitive time.
Strategic Patriotism and Measured Response
From November to January, patriots face a choice: to channel their emotions effectively or succumb to anger without achieving results. It is crucial for patriots to remember that maintaining composure is essential for achieving success. Acting with anger however risks losing the larger battle. Participation in public demonstrations is highly discouraged, as recent history has shown unfavorable outcomes. Women, in particular, should be cautious of potential violence. Please refrain from participating in any pro-choice public demonstrations for now, as these events could potentially become targets for false flag attacks. This, however, does not mean one should be indifferent. Instead, the focus should be on proactive behavior while remaining calm and strategic. Malicious entities will aim to provoke emotional reactions that could justify forceful responses.

Joey Marie Feek (néeMartin, September 9, 1975 – March 4, 2016) was an American country music singer and songwriter. Joey Marie Feek was born Joey Marie Martin in Alexandria, Indiana, to Jack and June Martin. She was the fourth of five children: three sisters (Jody, Julie, Jessie) and one younger brother, Justin, who in 1994 died in a car accident.[4]
Her father, who played guitar, encouraged her to start singing and performing at an early age. [5] She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1998 to pursue a career as an assistant at a horse vet clinic, and established connections with LeAnn Rimes‘ father Wilbur, and Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn.
At a songwriter night, she met songwriter Rory Lee Feek, whom she married in June 2002.[6] She sang backing vocals on Blaine Larsen‘s 2004 album Off to Join the World, which her husband co-produced.[7] Joey was signed to Sony Nashville and recorded an unreleased solo album in 2005 titled Strong Enough to Cry, but due to change in management and restructuring at Sony, the planned major label release for her album was shelved.[8][9] The album, retitled If Not For You, was eventually released by Farmhouse Recordings on April 7, 2017.[10]Joey Feek’s Solo Album ‘If Not for You’ Was Released a Year After Her Death
In 2008, a friend suggested that Joey and Rory try out for Can You Duet, a talent show airing on CMT with the purpose of finding the next great country duo. They made an audition tape and came up with the name “Joey + Rory,” and finished in third place on Can You Duet. The duo were signed to Sugar Hill/Vanguard Records, who released their first three studio albums.[9] The duo released eight albums overall and charted a Top 30 Hot Country Songs hit with “Cheater, Cheater“.[2]
Expecting a baby in early 2014, the couple decided to spend the year at home.[11] Their daughter was born in 2014, and has Down syndrome.[12][13] A few months later in May 2014, Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer.[14] After surgery and treatment, she was declared cancer free and did not receive any radiation or chemotherapy.[15]
Cancer relapse
In June 2015, after the family had finished filming their movie Josephine,[16] Feek was not feeling well again and sought medical advice.[16] After undergoing further medical testing, it was discovered that the cervical cancer had returned and metastasized to her colon.[17]
In July 2015, Feek underwent a second surgery to remove a 3-inch tumor (recurrence of cervical cancer) that had invaded her colon and surrounding structures. The surgery was long and involved and required the use of intraoperative radiation as there were tumors the surgeon could not get clear margins on.[18]
Still, the medical team was hopeful for Feek’s situation, and she recovered from surgery to continue on to endure an intense round of radiation and chemotherapy in the summer of 2015.[19] While undergoing treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, she would record hymns in their hotel room for the last CD the couple would create together, Hymns That Are Important to Us.[20]
In October 2015, Rory revealed in a blog post that Joey’s cancer was terminal, and they were stopping all treatment as the chemotherapy and radiation she had suffered through for the last few months were not working. The MRI scans revealed that two quarter-sized tumors had already grown back in the same area that they had been blasting daily with chemo and radiation [and] that many more smaller tumors were visible all throughout the abdominal region.
She said that the cancer was aggressively spreading”.[21] There were no more treatment options available and all there was left to do was keep Joey as comfortable as possible for the time she had left.[22]By November 2015, Feek was in hospice care.[23]
In January 2016, her morphine dose needed to keep the cancer pain under control had quadrupled.[24] She was able to celebrate Indiana’s second birthday and Valentine’s Day with her and Rory, see them receive a Grammy nomination for the song “If I Needed You”,[25] and see and hear the final recording the duo would make together.
An album of hymns that she had always wanted to make that debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 when it was released, and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 three weeks after its release.[26][20] She died on March 4, 2016, and Rory held a private funeral on their farm in Tennessee; Joey was buried in the family cemetery on the Feek farm.[27][28] Source Joey Feek – Wikipedia
I was one of Joey and Rory’s loyal fans and his tribute documentary to Joey was beautiful. The tribute documentary to Joey Feek is titled “To Joey, With Love”. This movie tells the story of the incredible Joey Feek and her amazing life. Filmed while battling cancer, Joey along with her family and friends show you that it’s not just physically healthy people who live healthy lives. Take a little time to laugh, smile, and cry with this amazing woman’s journey and the goodbyes of her loving family when she decides to let the Lord lead her home.
Rory’s first solo album “Gentle Man” was released on June 18, 2021.[13] It is the first album recorded since losing his wife and country music collaborator Joey to cancer in 2016. The album includes Feek and Jamie Teachenor’s co-written single “Met Him in a Motel Room” with vocals by Trisha Yearwood.[14][15] Yearwood previously recorded the song for her 2014 album, “PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit.”[16] The album also includes a cover of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin.’”[13]
As a filmmaker and storyteller, Feek wrote, shot much of, and edited his docu-series, This Life I Live,[17] which premiered on RFD-TV in March 2020. Feek created the singer-songwriter show “Muletown In the Round,”[18] the educational series, “The One Room Schoolhouse,”[19] and others with Red King Productions.[20] He also made the feature-length film Finding Josephine (2019),[21] the full-length documentary To Joey, With Love (2016),[22] music videos for the album “Gentle Man,” and dozens of music videos over his career as a musician and songwriter.[23]
As an author, Feek has written two memoirs and several children’s books. His 2017 memoir, “This Life I Live: One Man’s Extraordinary, Ordinary Life and the Woman Who Changed It Forever” (HarperCollins) hit top book lists including the Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today.[24] Additional books include “Once Upon a Farm” (HarperCollins),[25] “The Cow Said Neigh!” (HarperCollins),[26] “The Day God Made You” (HarperCollins),[27] and “The Little Rooster” (Milk Barn Kids).[28] Source Rory Feek – Wikipedia
In 2016, Rory’s first wife Joey Feek died after a battle with cervical cancer. The duo performed under the name Joey + Rory. She was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014, and Rory revealed in the fall of 2015 that they had decided to end treatment.
Eight years ago on Monday (March 4), the world said goodbye to Joey Feek — a.k.a., one-half of country duo Joey + Rory, wife to singer-songwriter and homesteader Rory Feek and mom to then-two-year-old Indiana.
The only thing was – the bride had no idea. Neither did most of the family and friends who came. So it was a big surprise for just about everyone there. …except me.”
Also on Father’s Day 2022 The first thing Indiana did when she woke up this morning was to wish me Happy Father’s Day… she was so excited to share the sweet card and gift she had for me. Sweetest duet ever! What a beautiful little girl and blessing from God!
️ PAPA WHAT IF – rory+indy (youtube.com) And so, the first thing I wanted to do this morning is wish all the Papa’s out there…. a Happy Father’s Day too… and share a sweet little three-minute gift with you from me and Indy.
Congratulations are in order for Rory Feek, who married his 10-year-old daughter Indiana’s teacher, Rebecca — who is also a longtime family friend — in a romantic ceremony on July 14.
The country star opened up about the ceremony on his blog, noting that the duo tied the knot under a “timber-frame pavilion here in Greycliff, Montana,” adding that his daughter played a major role in getting the two married. “We knew marriage was a possibility,” Feek shared in his post, “it wasn’t something that either of us felt like we could seriously talk about. Mostly because up until that time Indiana only saw Rebecca as ‘Miss Rebecca, her schoolteacher and our friend.”
He then recalled Rebecca telling him about a conversation she had with Indiana in March. “I asked Indy, and she told me that she said, ‘Ms. Rebecca, I think you should marry Papa,’” he noted. “Of course, I was happy, but caught off guard and told her that that was something we’d all have to start praying about.”
Rory said that Indy told him and Rebecca: “My Mama’s been gone a long time. And if she marries you, maybe she could be my new mother.” During Rory and Rebecca’s nuptials, the country star surprised his new wife with a song called “I Do.” See the full blog post here.
Indiana — who goes by Indy — Indiana Feek is best known as Family Member who was born on February 17, 2014 is now 10 years old, and of course, she has no real memories of her late mom. But the young girl still commemorated the anniversary of Joey’s death on Monday, spending some time by her mom’s grave on the family’s property.
In the photo, Indy — now looking all grown up with pink cowboy boots and a matching turtleneck sweater — pets a tabby cat as she sits in the grass. Nearby, Joey’s grave marker is adorned with a colorful array of flowers.
As he shared the photo of Indy sitting by her mother’s grave, Feek pointed out another example of how the passage of time has played out in surprising ways over the past eight years.
Feek posted his own reflections on the eight-year anniversary of his wife’s death, marveling in a blog post on everything that has changed — and everything that hasn’t — since he lost Joey. Not long before the eight-year anniversary rolled around, Feek revealed to fans that he’s found love again and is now in a relationship with a teacher named Rebecca.
That’s a profound thought. It reminds me of a quote by Chaim Potok: “We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity…a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. We All Learn Through Our Past Transgression.
That’s a powerful realization. Recognizing that our struggles are temporary can make it easier to face them with resilience and hope. It can also help us appreciate the good moments even more. Do you find that this perspective influences how you handle challenges in your daily life?
It’s like having a guiding light through tough times. Maintaining a positive outlook can make a big difference in how we experience life. Are there any specific practices or activities that help you reinforce this positive mindset?
That’s a fantastic approach! Being around positive, supportive people can have a huge impact on our mindset and overall well-being. It’s like having a built-in support system that helps lift you up when things get tough. Rory & Joey Playlist – Search (bing.com)
When I come to the end of my journey, I travel my last weary mile. Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And remember only my smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken: Remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, here the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you for a day, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of the evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best.
Kamala Harris, 59, flung her head back and appeared to mouth, “Oh, come on” before laughing at Trump, 78, for suggesting that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were “eating the dogs” in the town.
Michelle Obama’s senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with society on racial divide and a Princeton alumnus might only being allowed to remain “on the periphery.” Read the full thesis here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
“We gather at this hollowed place because we believe in the American dream. We face a race that tests if this country we cherish shall perish from the Earth, and if our Earth shall perish from this country. It falls to us to ensure that we do not fall, for a people that cannot stand together cannot stand at all.”
‘When Donald Trump made the outrageous claim immigrants were “eating the dogs”, Harris’s laughter was both spontaneous and strategic. Laughter is a potent tool in hum urology—it signals that the claim is too absurd to be taken seriously, effectively dismissing the speaker without direct confrontation.’
Boross states!!! that she also laughed to amplify just how outlandish Trump was being!!! ‘By laughing, Harris highlighted the ridiculousness of the comment, positioning herself as calm and rational while subtly undermining Trump’s credibility. NOW Her follow-up was, “Talk about extreme” cemented her control of the moment, using humour to dismantle the absurdity without engaging in an argument,’ he says.
Kamala Harris laughing debate
When Trump later said that he would send Harris a MAGA hat, she once again responded with laughter. ‘It diffused the jab,’ said Boross. ‘Unlike a forced or defensive response, her free and spontaneous reaction demonstrated that she didn’t take the comment seriously, subtly undermining its intent to provoke.

‘Laughter here served as a powerful tool to convey that she viewed his remark as trivial, placing herself above the pettiness of the exchange. This spontaneous humour made her appear more confident and unbothered, reinforcing her poise in the face of his attempted in
When Trump claimed that immigrants are eating people’s pets, Harris openly laughed at him — a stark contrast to the grave tone he’d taken. That use of emotional contrast undercut Trump’s argument.
I’ve seen this same technique in court, when lawyers use humor to deflate an ultra-serious (and misleading) claim. Perhaps Harris learned the technique in her time as a prosecutor.
Claims have circulated about Haitian migrants engaging in activities such as eating neighbors’ pets, which have been brought up in city commission meetings and even mentioned in the 2024 presidential campaign. However, these claims have been unsubstantiated and fact-checked.
Updated 11:49 PM EDT, September 10, 2024 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The governor of Ohio will send law enforcement and millions of dollars in healthcare resources to the city of Springfield as it faces a surge in temporary Haitian migrants that has landed it in the national spotlight. Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday he doesn’t oppose the Temporary Protected Status program under which some 15,000 Haitians have arrived in the city of about 59,000 people since 2020, but said the federal government must do more to help impacted communities. His news conference was held just hours before the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump, where the divide over immigration policy was sure to be an issue.
On Monday, Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also drew attention to the crisis when he directed his office to research legal avenues — including filing a lawsuit — to stop the federal government from sending “an unlimited number of migrants to Ohio communities.”
Thousands of temporary Haitian migrants have landed in the city in recent years, as long standing unrest in their home country has given way to violent gangs ruling the streets. Ohio has already provided additional resources to Springfield to help with education and training for drivers, to pay for more vaccines and health screenings in schools, and to enhance translation services, explained DeWine.
But he’s taking additional action.
“These dramatic surges impact every citizen of the community, every citizen,” he said, noting additional influxes are occurring in Findlay and Lima, Ohio. “Moms who have to wait hours in a waiting room with a sick child, everyone who drives on the streets, and it affects children who go to school in more crowded classrooms.” On Wednesday, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be dispatched to help local law enforcement with traffic issues that officials say have cropped up due to an increase in Haitians unfamiliar with U.S. traffic laws using the roads. DeWine said he is also earmarking $2.5 million over two years to provide more primary healthcare through the county health department and private healthcare institutions. DeWine’s family operates a charity in Haiti in honor of their late daughter, Becky, who died in a car accident. He said the Haitians who have moved to Ohio are generally hard-working people who love their families and who are seeking to escape the violence in their home country for good jobs in Ohio.
The town has seen its population grow significantly due to immigration, with local officials stating that the Haitian population increased by 15,000 to 20,000 over a four-year period. This rapid growth has strained city resources and led to a housing shortage. The situation has also become a point of political discussion and action, with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine responding to the challenges faced by the community.
A Springfield, Ohio, resident sounded the alarm about the city’s Haitian migrant surge, warning her community is like a “dystopian nightmare” as it struggles to provide basic resources for taxpayers. Springfield resident Diana Daniels joined “Fox & Friends” to describe what life has been like in recent years since thousands of Haitians have been transported to their city, starving it of resources like housing and health care, while also having an impact on public safety.
“It’s like living in a dystopian nightmare,” Daniels told Lawrence Jones on Thursday. “You hope you wake up and it’s 2019 again, and then you realize it’s 2024, and it’s the same thing over and over again, day after day. It’s hard sometimes to get up in the morning and hear residents that I’ve known for years struggle. This is a paycheck-to-paycheck… kind of town… working class.
The citizens that depend on our social services like health care, the Rocking Horse [Community Health Center], going down to the Social Security office for benefits are waiting in line, and they’re not getting the services they need.” “It breaks my heart to see people that I taught and their children experiencing this, so I took it upon myself to make sure that I showed up at every City Commission meeting pleading our case,” she continued.
The situation took center stage Tuesday night when former President Trump referred to Springfield while railing against the Biden-Harris administration’s border and immigration policies.
“If it took something like this to get the spotlight flashed on us, then so be it. We’ve needed help for several years, and maybe we’re going to finally get it. The sad thing is, it’s more of my money being spent on a problem that we did not create.” Thousands of Haitians have arrived in Springfield since the COVID-19 pandemic, and residents have been pointing to an uptick in crime, mayhem and car crashes due to the massive influx of new residents. In a town of 58,000 people, about 20,000 Haitians have arrived, according to city officials.
Residents have pushed back on the influx, sharing outrage at the ongoing surge during recent city council meetings to demand action on the issue. “I see what’s going on in the streets. And I see you guys sitting up there, comfy chairs and suits… I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,” said Anthony Harris, 28. “These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings.
They’re flipping cars in the middle of the street, and I don’t know how, y’all can be comfortable with this.”
Another resident called out general failures in leadership. “When am I getting my money back?” he asked. According to Daniels, some city leaders have accused residents of racism amid their pleas for help. She has pushed back on those claims, arguing the cultural difference, as opposed to the “color” difference, is really what is at play with the recent strife between both groups.
“Some of those comments are being made by people… that I’ve known for many years, and that’s probably the hardest thing to deal with because the city has always been a close-knit community,” Daniels said. “We have pockets of neighborhoods and what’s happening is a disruption of the smaller neighborhoods, and it has never been a race issue… It’s not about color, it’s about culture.”
Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday he’ll be funneling resources to help ease the influx. “As these numbers dramatically pick up, there’s some obligation for the federal government to help local communities who had nothing to do with the decision about people coming in, but now find themselves with a massive number of people,” he said.
DeWine promised a total of $2.5 million over the course of two years for the county health department and other health care centers that have been overwhelmed by the immigrant uptick as well as more resources for law enforcement. Daniels said she and other residents are investigating and pushing for answers on how this situation unfolded and why the migrants were sent to Springfield.
“How did Springfield get the target put on its back for this many Haitians? …
Why did this happen to us? Who was responsible?
How did that happen? And then follow the money.
It’s very difficult with our limited resources to tease that out.”
