Brookline Family Hosts Migrants Who Had Been Sleeping On Floor at Logan Airport
Please watch the video; it's worth the wait. You may or not be astonished at the world-class stupidity and naivete on display with these two chumps.
[CBS News Boston] With state shelters at capacity and images of migrant families sleeping at Logan Airport, the Stokes family said they knew they had the means and wanted to step up.

"The family is lovely. They are so appreciative. It has been wonderful," said Jessica Stokes.
"And they do excellent yardwork and housecleaning"
When Colin and Jessica Stokes called the state to sign up to be a host family, it took less than an hour for the displaced migrants to be dropped off at their door.
When's the last time you saw state government working that fast at anything else? It's because Mass. Democrats don't care about anything else.
"I was like I have to get sheets on the beds. How many people are coming? Where are they from? What ages. We really knew nothing," Jessica said.

"The need is so clearly overwhelming," Colin said.

The family of four, who didn't want to go on camera, had made been sleeping at Logan Airport. The parents and two kids journeyed from Chile to Texas then Massachusetts. And there are so many stories like it.

"It boggles the mind that there are so many hundreds of those stories and those people who are in such a stressful, traumatic transition," Colin said.

It comes as the state's newest emergency shelter in Roxbury reached its capacity of 400 people in a week. An office building in Boston's Seaport could be the next site, but there are concerns.

"Having a site with no running water, no showers, to me, would be a non-starter," said Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn.

The Stokes are getting a closer look at the state's migrant crisis than they ever imagined.
Oh, they're gonna get a real close look, all right; it'll be more like a buttfucking than anything else. Assuming they don't trash the place and / or assault their 'guests', if they then somehow manage to make it there for thirty days, Massachusetts law then considers them 'residents' at which point they would have to be legally evicted from the premises. I know through painful and expensive personal experience the difficulty in removing unwanted tenants / 'residents' and these two fucks are about to be redpilled, writ large. Or not!
This also assumes that the hosts are also the kind of good people they present themselves to be, and not unvetted predators looking for easy prey. Interesting times for all involved.

#1  This going south right out of the gate. Those folks in the video are the type that would lovingly kill you out of the kindness of their heart.

#3  On average, in Massachusetts it takes 18 months to evict a person from their residence. A judge could well order the Stokes to vacate their house while the case is being decided.

My wife and I moved out of mAssachusetts in late October and we got out just in time.

San Diego border agents arrest 269 Chinese migrants in a single DAY amid growing concern over why so many are flooding into the US
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • At least 20,000 Chinese migrants have been apprehended since October, as they have become the fastest growing demographic of border crossers

  • Upwards of 250 Chinese nationals continue to be apprehended by CBP officials each day

  • It comes after DailyMail.com revealed a CBP chief warned a Homeland Security committee that migrants with links to the CCP are slipping in undetected

#7  The cascade of events in Washington and around the nation make the current moment feel like the last calm before epic world events explode in the South China Sea and elsewhere and these "migrants" reveal their true purpose.

Jacumba illegal footpaths feed right onto I-8, less than 2 miles away, and it goes directly to San Diego or Yuma. Consider what significant military assets reside in the San Diego area and suddenly it seems ominous.

#10  Lots of unaccompanied kids from China trying to enter the San Diego area. Their families probably paid huge money for the traffickers to get them there.

My Dad's 2nd wife worked for California's immigration bureau and, she spoke fluent Chinese, was involved with almost all of the intakes.

Economy
Bloodbath at Paramount claims 800 jobs including CBS News journalists embroiled in controversy
[NY Post] Herridge was OK at Fox. Jumped for $$ (my assumption) and is now Funemployed
Several CBS News reporters were caught up in layoffs at Paramount Global that claimed 800 jobs, including one who is embroiled in a high-stakes First Amendment fight — and another who has reportedly weathered HR probes over his workplace behavior, The Post has learned.

Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.

The carnage provoked outrage from the rank-and-file at CBS, with some focusing their ire on Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish, who pulled down $32 million in total compensation last year despite the company’s ever-shrinking financial profile.

"Everybody in the newsroom is pissed that Bob Bakish is making over $30 million and he’s making these cuts," one insider fumed.
Of course they are. I suspect he was right to do so, given the changed market, no matter how he screwed up by setting up the situation that led to this necessity, and the board will naturally reward him for cutting costs so significantly, even though the optics for that big a paycheck are awful.
Elsewhere, some suspected the layoffs were more than just cost-cutting. Sources said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices, as revealed by The Post.
Lots of different ways to choose who gets cut when major cuts happen, and all of them feel unfair to those losing their jobs.

#6  Yesterday CBS was gloating about their Super Bowl ratings, today they're laying off 800 people. So, maybe their every day ratings are not so hot.

Dunno about Herridge but I can't help thinking if she was so good, what was she doing at CBS? I understand options are limited for honest journalists but I think I'd rather take my chances with independence than compromise my integrity at CBS.

#7  The first two quarters of the super bowl (30 minutes) lasted 2 hours due to huge number of commercials. The networks have turned the super bowl into a money grabbing scam.

#8  Fox ratings for the month just got reported at 1.5 million daily views, MSLSD had 1.1, and CNN had 500k, including the airports. Tucker's single Putin Interview topped 200 million internet views as of last night. A la carte news consumption done by independents is ascendant over the old guard legacy sources and their biased reporting and intentional editorial blindness.
