Migrant Kids Get Copies of Kamala Harris' Book - Louder With Crowder

Migrant Kids Get Copies of Kamala Harris' Book - Louder With Crowder

The crisis at our southern border - due to the incompetent policies of Joe Biden (allegedly) - is no laughing matter. Only in Biden's brain would it make sense to put Kamala Harris and her nervous laughing tick in charge to fix it. Seriously, the lady needs to read the room once in a while. As the southern border continues to be visited by tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, one person who will not be visiting is Kamala Harris. She says it's not her job. But while she won't bother to physically be there, she will be there in spirit. All minors left unaccompanied by their parents receive a copy of Harris' children's book.

State-wide E-news touts a "better" alternative. Still waiting for their list of favorite communist countries to live in.


 

We don't need no stinkin' laws!-----DHS Announces Rescission of Civil Penalties for Failure-to-Depart | Homeland Security

DHS Announces Rescission of Civil Penalties for Failure-to-Depart | Homeland Security
WASHINGTON – Today, at the direction of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rescinded two delegation orders related to the collection of civil financial penalties for noncitizens who fail to depart the U.S., stating they run counter to the agency’s best interest.
“There is no indication that these penalties promoted compliance with noncitizens’ departure obligations,” said Secretary Mayorkas.  
“We can enforce our immigration laws without resorting to ineffective and unnecessary punitive measures.”...Read all.

Communism kills!-----The Ukraine Famine of 1933 was a Government-Made Disaster

The Ukraine Famine of 1933 was a Government-Made Disaster
"...Yet, there is a paradox
...No market economy with a liberal democracy suffered through a famine during the 20th century. However, famines produced out of human design increased considerably. 

...Fortunately, recent work by Natalya Naumenko in the Journal of Economic History provides us with such a disentanglement in the case of the Holodomor in the Ukraine during the 1930s.
...First of all, the death toll was horrific: six to eight million died in 1933. 
...However, the effects of collectivization and government procurements of wheat do provide strong explanatory power: between 52% and 57% of excess mortality is explained by variations in the rate of collectivization of the farm economy across districts.
...As Naumenko summarizes succinctly, it is necessary to “put the blame where it belongs:” at the feet of “government policies that make the food supply susceptible to disaster when environmental conditions are less than perfect.”
This work of economic history is not just worth reading because of its well-executed nature. 
It is worth reading because it is a potent reminder of how governments can fuel some of the worst disasters in human history...Read all.

Australian TV host brutalizes Biden for being 'determined to weaken' America, 'emboldening' enemies - TheBlaze

"Which is why today, it is so depressing to look at what is happening to the U.S. under Joe Biden, who seems, for whatever reason, determined to weaken America's standing, her military, and emboldening her and our enemies, making a mockery of a century's worth of shared sacrifice," he continued.

Morrow went on to bash Biden for his "green eco warrior posturing" — citing Biden being the only person on a virtual meeting with world leaders to wear a face covering — which he predicted would only embolden American enemies.

Environmental Activists Resume 'Sue-and-Settle' | The Pipeline

Environmental Activists Resume 'Sue-and-Settle' | The Pipeline
"...nineteen public interest groups have sent joint letters to Republican House and Senate leadership calling for an investigation of, and and an all-out effort to block Biden’s end-run around Congress to impose the Green New Deal through a regulatory backdoor.
  • The move, uncovered by chance in open records requests, contains the worst elements of Washington: bureaucrats cycling in and out of office, 
  • collusion with ideological activists and, 
  • when democracy slams the front door shut, find a backdoor “sue-and-settle” resolution.
This plan to exclude the people's voice and enable governmental overreach was developed over months between progressive state attorneys general and former career U.S. Environmental Protection Agency attorneys and other staff now turned environmental activists.
  • They never stop, they never sleep, they never quit.
Their proposed method to circumvent Congress gets into the weeds -- a secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions -- but would fundamentally transform the Clean Air Act into an unrecognizable and never intended framework for economy-wide decarbonization.
This has never been authorized by any Congress nor approved by any court. 
In fact, this plan came about precisely because of past legislative and judicial rejections...READ ALL!!

Noose found at Columbia-affiliated seminary conveniently keeps race/hate narrative alive | The College Fix

Noose found at Columbia-affiliated seminary conveniently keeps race/hate narrative alive | The College Fix
  • Noose found at Columbia-affiliated seminary conveniently keeps race/hate narrative alive
"A little over a week ago, a noose was discovered on the roof of a residence hall by a staff member of the Columbia University-affiliated Union Theological Seminary.
According to the Columbia Spectator, the noose was hanging from metal pipes in an elevator room. It’s unknown how long it had been there.
The NYPD is investigating the matter as a hate crime; so far, no arrests have been made and the police have no suspects.
Spectator reporter Zachary Schermele says the UTS noose is but “the latest in a string of racist incidents […] that have challenged the University’s capacity to keep its students and faculty safe.”
If you’ve followed The College Fix for even a little while, you can probably guess what happened next as these types of situations follow a pattern.
  • First, UTS President Serene Jones put out a statement condemning the noose: The community was “deeply disturbed and devastated” by the news, and the evil symbol is “directly antithetical” to the seminary’s core values.
  • Next, a Columbia spokesperson invoked the Derek Chauvin trial and “other national events” when pointing out the university would make “additional mental health counseling resources” available to students.
  • Then, using critical race theory-based “logic,” a group of black seminary students issued a letter criticizing UTS/Columbia for its response (or lack thereof) to the noose. 
  • This was followed by several demands, including:
— An apology from UTS President Jones which recognizes the “lack of pastoral and spiritual care” in her initial announcement about the noose. In addition, “substantive support and acknowledgment […] of the trauma that […] Black students, faculty and staff are sitting with and have experienced during this horrific time.”
Nixing the involvement of the NYPD as its involvement only “reifies the American police and surveillance state in which we currently live.” In its place, a new security firm should be hired with additional (security) measures put in place.
Exam extensions as students “have been devastated” by news of the noose and other events.
— The seminary “actively” working to  transform into an “anti-racist” institution.

Midland's Senior Prom: Stay In Parking Lot Masked At All Times

Midland's Senior Prom: Stay In Parking Lot Masked At All Times
H.H. Dow High School in Midland has posted its rules for senior prom on May 7. 
They include:
  • Students are assigned to a parking spot in groups of six and would have to stay in that parking spot for the night. “They can’t intermingle,” the district’s post stated.
  • Everyone must wear a face mask at all times. Students can eat or drink in their assigned spot with their masks off, but when doing so must be six feet apart.
  • Only 300 students can attend. There are more than 300 students in the senior class. So a senior student can’t bring a date to the prom unless it is also a senior student.

Portland Mayor Calls for 'Unmasking' Violent Protesters, Antifa Riot Follows

Portland Mayor Calls for 'Unmasking' Violent Protesters, Antifa Riot Follows

During Wheeler’s remarks, he extended the city’s state of emergency and directed Portland Police Bureau officials to “arrest people engaged in any crimes,” The Oregonian reported. He supported the police tactics of “kettling” (boxing people in).

Following Friday’s riot, one of many this month alone, Black Lives Matter activists and other “protesters and community leaders” marched on city hall to protest the mayor’s call for action, KGW NBC8 reported.

Protesters said the mayor misused the words they expressed earlier in the week when they drafted an open letter to demonstrators, the local NBC affiliate stated.

"I'm beginning to think that the least known concept in America today is absurdity..."

"I'm beginning to think that the least known concept in America today is absurdity.
...How else do you even begin to explain this tweet from BLM co-founder Bree Newsome about Ma'Khia Bryant?
  • “Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.”
Actual tweet, swear to God.
...But how can one ever get someone to understand their belief is false if they can't grasp absurdity.
There are people out there who do not get it.
Our government is full of them - but I don't think they don't understand absurdity, they do and they understand how to use it to move their agendas forward.
Until we get a grip on this idiocy, we will continue to have people explaining 
  • why black teens should be allowed to stab each other 
  • and why eating meat is racist...AND anti-Semitic.

Top British lawmaker fears China has split New Zealand from Five Eyes allies
"China has used its economic influence in New Zealand to drive a wedge between New Zealand and other members of a crucial, U.S.-led intelligence-sharing network, some Western officials fear.
“There is an enormous amount of tension and disconnect between New Zealand's political and security interests, on the one hand, and its overreliance on the Chinese market for its agricultural exports on the other,” 
...New Zealand Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta startled Western allies around the world this week by declaring that Five Eyes — an intelligence bloc comprised of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom — should not function as a platform for confronting China in diplomatic or political disputes. 
Mahuta framed this posture as way to keep the intelligence network focused on its primary mission, but officials in capitals around the world took the statement as ominous evidence that Beijing’s economic clout weakens alliances...Read all.

WATCH: Many Thousands Rally In London Against Vaccine Passports

WATCH: Many Thousands Rally In London Against Vaccine Passports

This is the event that the BBC and the rest of the legacy media tried to airbrush out of history: thousands upon thousands of people marching through central London in protest over lockdown and the imminent threat of vaccine passports.

It was by some margin the biggest rally held so far in the UK against the government’s draconian Chinese coronavirus restrictions. While the MSM put a low estimate on the numbers — 10,000, according to Reuters — others claim the turnout was considerably higher.

Not convinced? Look at any American college campus.


 

To Save The Republic, Destroy The Media by Derek Hunter

To Save The Republic, Destroy The Media by Derek Hunter
"To produce some viruses for study, in the hope of eradicating them, scientists use monkey kidney cells. It’s the perfect environment for them to replicate; to grow. 
For the virus that is progressivism, the media is the monkey kidneys, and to eliminate the threat that this left-wing sibling of communism, socialism, and fascism poses to the world, that delivery device needs to be destroyed.
...It can’t be reformed, the core isn’t rotten, it’s deliberately corrupt and hell bent on the destruction of our way of life.
Journalism has always had bias, but they at least used to try to hide it. 
They’d report some truth, leaving out other, inconvenient parts on the cutting room floor. 
Now they make it up.
 They make it up for the express purpose of manipulating people, herding people into groups, then turning those groups against one another. 
All in service to the Democrat Party.
  • ...Paul Krugman at the New York Times told his 4.6 million followers, “In reality, given that GOP supporters believe that rampaging mobs burned and looted major cities — somehow without the people actually living in those cities noticing — getting them to see facts about something as abstract as the deficit is a hopeless cause.” This isn’t mistake, he didn’t get it wrong or word it poorly, and he’s not uninformed; it is a deliberate lie.
  • Multiple media outlets have gone after civilians for donating to the defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse, getting people fired for as little as $10. Stalin was more tolerant of differing points of view than these people.
  • The day after it was announced that South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is to deliver the Republican response to Joe Biden’s multi-trillion dollar Oprah-style giveaway before a joint session of Congress, the Washington Post ran a preemptive hit piece on him under the guise of a “fact-check.” The only thing was there was nothing to fact-check....

Conservatives slime Nickelodeon's 'environmental racism' segment
"...“Learn the meaning of environmental racism,” Nickelodeon tweeted Friday, along with a video of the segment, which currently boasts nearly 500,000 views.
In the clip, part of the “Nick News” series, host Jamie Yuccas discusses why certain areas face more health hazards than others.

The CBS News correspondent chalks up the disparity to “environmental racism, a form of systemic racism where minority and low-income communities are surrounded by health hazards because they live near sewage, mines, landfills, power stations, major roads.”...
