Another 'Conspiracy Theory' Turns Out to Be True:  Welfare Offices Hand Out Voter Registration to Illegals

 

It sure is strange how so many supposed 'conspiracy theories' turn out to be true.  The gas stove ban that wasn't happening, until it was(unless you're special, like Kamala Harris) comes to mind.

 

At the beginning of May, the Biden-Harris campaign mocked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for introducing legislation that would prohibit illegal immigrants from voting in federal elections.  It wasn't necessary, the campaign said, because it's already against the law for illegal immigrants to vote in federal elections.  The AP dutifully carried water for the administration too, saying illegals voting in federal elections was merely a 'Right-wing talking point.'

Well, guess what?  Welfare offices across the country are handing out voter registration forms to illegal immigrants.  [...]

Massachusetts Tells Migrants at the Border Not to Come Because State Shelters Are Full

 

I guess Joe Biden's executive order that was supposed to close the border to asylum seekers isn't doing much good.

Gov. Maura Healey (D-Mass.) sent several of her top aides to several cities in Texas where they visited migrant shelters and told border officials and non-government organizations in no uncertain terms to keep migrants away from the Bay State because the shelters were full.

 

"This trip is an important opportunity to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts," said L. Scott Rice, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general in a statement.  Healey appointed Rice to lead the state's overburdened shelter system.  [...]

Migrants Being Evicted From Boston's Logan Airport

 

Earlier this month, we discussed the situation at Boston's Logan International Airport, where illegal migrants have been camping out on the floors each night before being taken on buses for day trips to migrant care facilities during the day.  This was an untenable situation from the beginning, with incidents of theft and unsanitary conditions riling up the legitimate travelers seeking to fly in and out of the city.

 

Now, Governor Maura Healey has announced that the unofficial airport shelter program will be coming to an end on July 6.  Buses will no longer be provided and the migrants will need to evacuate from the terminals.  The one thing she failed to indicate during the announcement was where the migrants were supposed to go.  The state-run shelters remain full to the brim.  Migrant advocates are up in arms and the Healey administration doesn't appear to have any answers for them.  [...]

Is this genuine progress, or are officials concerned because the election is so near?

ICE Reports Some 'Sanctuary Cities' Now Cooperating With the Agency

 

Some counties and cities that had previously identified themselves a "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens have begun cooperating with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by informing the agency when they are releasing illegals from jail and giving advanced notice before illegals convicted of violent crimes are released.

 

It's unknown what ICE is doing with the information.  But acting ICE Director P.J. Lechleitner believes that the recent spate of serious crimes committed by illegals has put pressure on some of the cities to change their policies after regretting the release of certain violent illegals.  [...]

This article explains things clearly, and it appears that the ACLU -- much like the blind squirrel stumbling upon an acorn -- actually got one right.

Court Stops NYC Mayor's Efforts to Block Migrant Buses

 

As you will recall, the Governor of Texas has been loading up busloads of illegal migrants in his state and shipping them out to blue cities around the country, with a particular emphasis on New York.  That flow of buses has slowed down a bit this summer, but not enough to satisfy Mayor Eric Adams of the Big Apple.  He wanted to stop the bus shipments entirely.  Being unable to find a way to stop Governor Greg Abbott from sending them, Adams decided to take the bus companies to court, seeking to either force them to go elsewhere or to pay huge fees to cover the cost of caring for the migrants.  [...]

Exclusive:  Eyewitness Told 300K Venezuelans Crossed Border Wednesday into San Diego

 

A self-employed American who lives in Mexico but works weekdays in San Diego told RedState that a border officer at the San Ysidro border crossing between Tijuana and the San Diego metropolitan area told him that 300,000 Venezuelans passed through to the United States on Wednesday.

 

"He was definitely frustrated because I got up there, I'm like: 'Yeah, busy day,' and he is like: 'Yeah, 300,000 Venezuelans,'" the man said.

"It was all happening so quickly," he said.  "I kind of came over a little bit of a hill, and so, there's a bunch of people.  Then, I talked to the customs agent, and he said that that was just not even the surface of them."

Roughly 95 percent of these border crossers were men between the ages of 18 and 60, he said.  [...]

Brutal Venezuelan Gangs Spill Over From Sanctuary Cities Into Unprepared Suburbs

 

Of all of the American cities that have experienced waves of illegal migrants showing up on their doorsteps and demanding shelter and services, Denver has been both one of the most popular destinations and one that has experienced the greatest internal turmoil as a result.  Debates broke out about how many migrants they should accept, where they would put them, and how long they would be allowed to stay.  The city has gone through several iterations of its plans thus far, but debates continue.

 

Today's story isn't about Denver, however.  It deals with Aurora, Colorado, a much smaller bedroom community to the east of Denver.  There was never any significant debate over the migrants in Aurora.  They didn't want them, but the migrants began arriving in significant numbers without an invitation.

 

Unfortunately for Aurora's residents, a significant number of the "new arrivals" were not there for a free bed and a few meals.  They turned out to be members of the notorious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, and they set up shop in Aurora and immediately got to "work."  [...]

I know people who live in Aurora and have a place up here.

 

They have had Diversity issues for some time, I think it was more youth gangs but has gone full Kamala of late.

Denver as a whole is a dumpster fire 🔥

To be fair if we look at Greater Denver just not the middle bit then some places seem OK. Aurora is not one of them but some areas are particularly bad.

AURORA, Colo. — The announcement of the closure of a Walmart near the corner of East Colfax Avenue and Havana Street has people who live in the area and advocates for the community concerned about access to fresh food.

The Walmart Neighborhood Market at 10400 E. Colfax Ave. will close on June 7. The company said the decision to close was based on several factors including historic and current financial performance.

I am sure I can remember when 9News was OK, notice how they fail to ask what is going on etc, of course they know but will not say.

TEACHING MATH THROUGH THE DECADES

1950s:  A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.  What is his profit?

1960s:  A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.  What is his profit?

1970s:  A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money.  The cardinality of set "M" is 100.  Each element is worth 1 dollar.  Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M."  The set "C," the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M" contains.  Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question:  What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

1980s:  A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20.  Underline the number 20.

1990s:  By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20.  What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question:  How did the forest birds, owls, and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees?  There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's OK.

2000s:  By laying off 40% of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from $80 to $100.  How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising his stock options at $80?  Assume that capital gains are no longer taxed, because this encourages investment.

2010s:  If you have special needs or just feel that you need assistance because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, childhood memories, etc., then don't answer, and the correct answer will be provided for you.  There are no wrong answers. 

2017:  A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  How can this action be used to impeach President Trump?
