The Border Crisis Moves to My Little Town
[MtVernonOpticHerald] State police stop a vehicle on the interstate for suspected drug smuggling. Find 18 Guatemalans instead. Dump them onto local Sheriff. Immigration comes and consents to take three for prosecution, instructs the Sheriff to release the rest. They speak no English, have no money, and have questionable if any ID. Sheriff is reasonably concerned that following instructions puts both the community and the illegal immigrants at risk. What to do?
Mount Vernon is the capitol of Franklin County, Texas, located in the northeast corner of the state.

Maricopa County election audit continues after Democrats balk at $1 million requirement to pause
[MSN] A major political dispute over the results of last year's presidential election in Maricopa County is developing, but, for now, the audit sponsored by the Arizona State Senate Republicans will continue.

A Maricopa County judge ordered a pause after state Democrats filed a lawsuit to block the audit.
Guess what they're afraid will be exposed?
The pause would have been from 5 p.m. Friday until noon Monday, but the Arizona Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
will not post the $1 million bond as requested by the judge.

In a statement, party officials said in part "the fact of the matter is that no one knows the actual cost of this sham audit and President Fann and the Cyber Ninjas have not once made this figure public."

Maricopa County delivered the first shipment of ballot-counting machines Wednesday for Arizona Senate Republicans’ audit, but only after the Senate agreed to shield the county from any legal or financial liability connected to the audit, according to documents obtained by 12 News.

One particular focus of concern for the county: The work of audit leader Cyber Ninjas, whose owner has promoted false claims about the 2020 election. Some of those claims have targeted the owner of the county's ballot-counting machines.

The multimillion-dollar machines were loaded onto three trucks at the county’s election headquarters Wednesday morning.

They were then driven in a convoy for three miles to Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds, with undercover sheriff’s deputies providing security along the route.

The handover of the machines on Wednesday and 2.1 million county ballots on Thursday are part of Senate Republicans’ unprecedented audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 presidential vote, won by Democrat Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....

But aren't they still trusting the Machines
or are they hand counting and cross checking also.

As a former SR. ITSEC I would demand Wifi Jammers,
be active and monitored, no cellphones, random Freq Spec scans and NO networked connectivity of the machines.

Kamala isn't at the southern border ‐ but migrant kids are getting Veep's book
[NY Post] Great moments in leadership™
Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t been to the border to address a crisis she was tasked to help fix — but a children’s book she wrote is waiting there for young migrants who are being welcomed into the country.

Unaccompanied migrant kids brought from the U.S.-Mexico border to a new shelter in Long Beach, Calif., will be given a copy of her 2019 children’s book, "Superheroes are Everywhere," in their welcome kits.
Alternate title: Career Advancement Thru Kegels
It’s just the latest open-arms gesture by the Biden administration, whose mixed messaging regarding the border and immigration has been credited with the surge from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Border czar Roberta Jacobson last month conceded that the Biden administration’s messaging to migrants has been inconsistent, contributing to the unprecedented surge.

Kamala Harris greeted by protesters during NH trip to promote infrastructure

[NY Post] Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday was greeted by protesters in New Hampshire who urged her to visit the US-Mexico border in her role as the Biden administration’s migration czar.

A handful of protesters brandished signs near Plymouth, NH, including one that read “Mexico —2,254 mi,” according to a pool report.

Another sign said, “Hey Kamala / Stop the illegal invasion / Go visit Mexico.” Yet another sign said, “Impeach Biden-Harris.”

Harris was in New Hampshire to promote President Biden’s more than $2 trillion infrastructure proposal. She made a similar trip Monday to North Carolina and will travel next week to Baltimore to mark the Biden administration’s first 100 days.

75% of House members back no conditions on US aid to Israel
[IsraelTimes] Supporters include some progressives from Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
’s left wing and comes following bill to increase oversite on how Israel spends $3.8 billion it receives annually.

More than three-quarters of House members oppose placing any conditions on US aid to Israel, including some progressives from the Democratic Party’s left wing.
A blow to the Jew-hating wing of the Democratic Party. But will the Democrats among them vote against that Israel oversight monstrosity making its way through the House?
They made the point clear in a letter sent Thursday to the body’s chief appropriators.

The letter to Democratic Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, and Representative Kay Granger of Texas, the ranking member on the committee, was signed by 331 members of the House of Representatives and was split just about evenly between Republicans and Democrats.

The support from the progressives is notable as calls from the left to condition aid to Israel increase and a number of left-wing Democrats have introduced a bill that would require increased oversight of how Israel spends the $3.8 billion it receives annually.

Among the leading progressives who signed the letter are Representatives Andy Levin of Michigan and Ro Khanna of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.

AIPAC, the powerhouse pro-Israel lobby, strongly backed the letter.

"This is a very strong bipartisan statement that full security assistance to Israel — without additional conditions — is in the national security interest of the United States," Marshall Wittmann, AIPAC’s front man, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

The letter employs a frame long favored by AIPAC — casting assistance to Israel as inextricable from US foreign assistance, and describing foreign aid as critical to US foreign policy.

"Just as foreign assistance is an investment in advancing our values and furthering our global interests, security aid to Israel is a specific investment in the peace and prosperity of the entire Middle East," says the letter, which was initiated by Democratic Representative Ted Deutch of Florida, the chairman of the House Middle East subcommittee, and Republican Representative Michael McCaul of Texas, the top Republican on the Foreign Affairs Committee. Deutch is Jewish.

The emphasis on the benefits of foreign aid comes at a time that right-wing Republicans, influenced by former president Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s isolationism, are calling for cuts. Still, a number of those Republicans signed the letter, which also supports the two-state solution. Trump had downplayed the idea and a number of Republicans have all but abandoned it.

"US support for Israel makes the region a safer place and bolsters diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a negotiated two-state solution, resulting in peace and prosperity for both Israelis and Paleostinians," the letter says.

The bill on increased oversight would restrict Israel from using US money to incarcerate Paleostinian minors, destroy Paleostinian homes or annex parts of the West Bank. None of the 16 Democrats who sponsored the bill signed the letter.

J Street, a liberal Jewish Middle East policy group, backs the bill.
Of course they do. If it harms Jewish Israel, they’re ever so piously for it.

#2 

Let me see if I follow this logic correctly?


Get their car tags and send them to the police?

The same police dept that has been ordered by the Mayor to stand down and take minimum actions to protect the public.

Actions which to often usually meant arresting citizens protecting their property and themselves from the protesters?

BTW: IF the police actually did try look up car tags and If I were a Protester.

I'd use an anonymous Email account and start submitting 1000's of Citizen car tags to overwhelm the investigator. The Mayors car tag would be #1 . ☺

#8  F#ck the mayor. What citizens need to do is begin to congregate, plan and coordinate. May it begin with meetings and chats and progress to staging and training, and culminate in organized counter operations. The intelligent conservative will way too smarter and resilient, courageous against these retards and dregs.

The strategy of the 1000 cuts, or 'Bleeding by a thousand cuts' as taught by the paleostinians and pakistanis to the world, is to keep conflict to isolated, low intensity levels. Such that outrage is morale damaging but never sufficiently high enough to motivate militarism in the common man.

What we do to counter it is ramp up the outrage factor by word of mouth by tens and hundreds; for every cop killed, every window smashed, everyone attacked or even harassed... while a militarized arm of concerned citizens takes out targets of opportunity creating a credible deterrence.

Biden says fossil fuel workers should get new jobs 'where they live'
[NYPOST] President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?......
on Friday said people who lose jobs in the fossil fuel industry as a result of environmental reforms must be provided new job opportunities "in the places where they live."

Biden claimed in a speech at the White House that phasing out coal, gas and oil doesn’t require economic devastation in current energy-producing regions.

"As we transition to a clean energy future, we must ensure that workers who have thrived in yesterday’s and today’s industries have as bright a tomorrow in the new industries as well as in the places where they live and the communities they have built," Biden told a summit of world leaders.

"When we invest in climate resilience and infrastructure, we create opportunities for everyone. That’s the heart of our jobs plan that I proposed to the United States. It’s how our nation intends to build an economy that gives everybody a fair shot."
