It feels in the past few weeks like the Puppet Show and the real leadership behind it sense their time is almost over, and they are pulling out all the stops to get every dream idea they can before the collapse. Jojo is rapidly assuming risible, throw-away status as a front for their agenda.
[EpochTimes] Washington’s mayor is criticizing two border states for busing illegal immigrants to the nation’s capital, which bills itself as a sanctuary city.
For months, Texas and Arizona authorities have been offering free rides to illegal aliens who have claimed asylum, citing a lack of resources in dealing with the immigrants and the hope that sending them to Washington will help convince President Joe Biden to increase immigration enforcement amid a record number of arrests at the border.
But Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is a Democrat, isn’t on board.
“This is a very significant issue. We have, for sure, called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they’re largely asylum-seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.,” she said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on July 17.
“I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. But I fear that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America.”
Ranae Eze, press secretary for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, told The Epoch Times via email that “the only lie is the Biden Administration telling the American people that our border is closed.”
“With our nation’s capital now experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by President Biden’s reckless open border policies that our state faces every single day, maybe he’ll finally do his job and secure the border,” she wrote.
Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals aren't just for the Left. In this case, #4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, another Republican, wrote on Twitter: “Welcome to our world, @MayorBowser. Now work with your party, your Congress, and your President to do something about it.”
COMPLAINTS
Thousands of illegal aliens have been sent to Washington from the two states this year, beginning in April. Getting on the buses is a choice, according to officials in the states. But some of the immigrants complained to WUSA-TV that promises made by officials before getting on the buses weren’t fulfilled.
Ana Karina Arce Polano, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, told the broadcaster that she was told her family would be transported to Colorado via Washington, but that they didn’t end up being offered transportation to Colorado.
“We arrived here with faith to give them a better life, and it turns out that we do not even have a place to sleep and no way to get where we want to go,” Polano said.
Another illegal alien said she was told that her family would be given a ride to Chicago after arriving in Washington, but that hasn’t happened.
“If anyone is being misled, we certainly want to know about it,” Ducey spokesman CJ Karamargin told WUSA-TV.
Sister Sharlet Wagner, executive director of the Catholic Charities-run Newcomer Network, told NTD previously that most of the illegal immigrants were traveling to places beyond Washington.
“Most of them do have family or friends in the place where they really want to go. We’re happy to help them if they want to stay here. Most are choosing to move on,” she said.
Federal authorities have said that states aren’t “adequately coordinating” with them or local authorities. They also said that most immigrants who aren’t expelled via Title 42, a pandemic-era order, are released into the U.S. interior with notices to appear in court.
A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman told The Epoch Times, “Through its Southwest Border Coordination Center, DHS is executing carefully designed plans to manage the processing and transport of noncitizens arriving at the border.”
So are any of the illegals sleeping on the Congressional House steps or panhandling LSD's for $$$$$ yet? Has there been an increase in certain problems that are normally associated with massive influx of Illegals to a given area?
Also noting "...provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks..."
Anyone tracking the % of $$$ that it gets to the Illegals, vs. the % of $$$$ deemed an Admin fee, routed back to LSD pockets & campaign funds?
[NYPOST] The price of oil surged to more than $100 a barrel on Monday after President Biden left Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... over the weekend without winning a commitment from the kingdom to boost output.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose by nearly 2.5% to around $103.50 early Monday while West Texas Intermediate, the US benchmark, also spiked nearly 2% to more than $99 a barrel.
The prices shot up on Monday following comments by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, who said the topic of OPEC+ boosting oil supply wasn’t even raised during a summit meeting between Biden and other Arab leaders.
"Traders got one clear message from Biden’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, during which President Biden spoke to a number of Arab leaders," market analyst Naeem Aslam told the Guardian.

When we drilled here, pumped it out here, refined it here, used it here, oil prices typically were lower, and we had a better handle on our environment concerns.
BUT!
It is something Liberals, Socialists, and Democrats do not understand about running an Economy. It's called "Supply and Demand". Which has always affected price and the surrounding environment.
So the LSD Coup that stole the election not only has failed America, it has failed the world.
By playing environmentalist for votes, it directly adversely affected the world price of crude oil. With which negatively impacted billions of others and actually did greater harm to the environment.
How?
When 2nd & 3rd world nation ramp up uncontrolled drilling, pumping and shipping of oil, it is usually done for the quick $$$$ and with far less environmental concerns.
So if I may remind the LSD's
DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW actually works and is safer for the environment and the economy.
Results
As we have seen, when the economy is stable, the environment is better taken care of.

When they jump in claiming credit for the temp decline, honest media would have to assign responsibility to the Puppet Show for the looming increases. Not holding my breath...
[ToloNews] A number of Afghans who were recently sent back from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... accused the Ottoman Turkish military of human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. violations and mistreatment.
The deportees complained about the role of Afghanistan’s embassy in Ankara, saying that the embassy is signing forms for deportation.
Turkey is reportedly deporting around 300 Afghans per day.
Eimal is one of the Afghan migrants colonists sent home by Ottoman Turkish police.
"When the police do their captures, they are doing body searches, they beat boys, even they take off the clothes of boys, then they deport them," said Eimal.
"Afghan migrations face bad treatment in camps, there is no good food nor facilities to treat patients," said Mujahid, a deportee.
The deportees, many of whom fled due to poverty, told TOLOnews that they illegally entered Turkey to seek employment.
"Afghans go to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... and Turkey with big hopes, with a belief that these are Islamic countries, Afghans expect to face good treatment and cooperation," said Fazl Mohammad, a deportee.
Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Fat Tony demanded his rosco back. He didn't say please... officials at Kabul Airport said that two or even three chartered flights carrying Afghan migrations from Turkey land at the airport on a daily basis.
"Daily, two or three flights arrive from Turkey, each plane carrying 130 to 150 persons," said Sayed Kazem Hashimi, an official at Kabul Airport.
TOLOnews attempted to obtain a statement from the Afghan embassy in Ankara but the embassy refused to comment.

Ha ha. Turks see pashtuns as little more than wild asses.

[NYPOST] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... can make nuclear bombs but has not yet chosen whether to build one, a bigwig bragged.
Kamal Kharrazi, a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... , gave the warning Sunday, a day after President Biden ended his Middle East trip in which he vowed to stop Iran from "acquiring a nuclear weapon."
He told Al Jazeera TV that "Iran is on the nuclear threshold and this is not something secret," according to the Tehran Times.
"Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kharrazi insisted.
Kharrazi said Iran has already been easily "able to enrich uranium up to 60%" — far above a cap of 3.67% under Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

Frightened cats yowl and lash out with their claws, hoping to discourage that which they’re afraid of. Secure cats wait calmly to see if they need do anything about the situation. (I assume it’s similar with dogs, but I haven’t lived with one since my age was a small prime number, so can’t say from observation.)
Given the level of penetration Israel has demonstrated over the decades of Iran’s nuclear program — and the fact that Mossad made off with Iran’s entire research archive a few years ago, it strikes me that Israel probably knows better than Iran the status of Iran’s nuclear bomb program, and where all the parts are located.

The Saudi foreign minister poured cold water over any imminent normalization with Israel, saying this was not a precursor to further steps. He said Riyadh was not part of any discussions on a Gulf-Israeli defense alliance to counter Iran.
Iran will benefit from the new multi-polar world. It has been seeking to ally itself with the Russia and China block with added relations to a neutral India.
All GCC are talking with Iran to normalize their relations.
Based on the statements Iranian nuke test will be conducted very soon.
