president says
Posted By: AltaD, 8/25/2023 11:29:06 AM
Fed up with having Chicago police officers “babysit” asylum-seekers, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara on Thursday proposed an alternative to district stations: allowing hundreds of migrants to sleep in the lobbies and open hallways at City Hall. “I don’t think there’s one single one of ’em living in City Hall — whether it’s on the county lobby floor or the City Hall floor. There’s certainly plenty of space to put a couple hundred in there, but I don’t see that happening in their workspace. But they certainly have no problem putting ’em in our workspace,” Catanzara said. “Why be a hypocrite?”

Alice Cooper, the eye-liner wearing “Godfather of Shock Rock,” was dumped by a cosmetics company after the singer questioned the rush to perform trans surgeries on kids and said that transitioning genders was a “fad.” (Snip) The rocker also blasted “the whole woke thing,” wondering: “Who’s making the rules? Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, ‘Okay, we can’t say “mother” now. We have to say “birthing person.” Get that out on the wire right now?”’
“Who is this person that’s making these rules? I don’t get it,”

An asylum seeker has chronicled his perilous journey from France to England in an astonishing series of videos on TikTok, taking in train journeys across France, laughing with friends aboard an overcrowded dinghy and finally relaxing in a UK hotel. The man, named on TikTok as Rahat Popal, is thought to be an Afghan national who recorded the various stages of his journey through France before crossing the Channel on a packed boat and arriving at a migrant hotel in England. (Snip) Popal then films himself grinning while perched precariously on a small dinghy, crammed full with men, women and children, before ending up on UK soil
Chicago - Chicago could experience a fivefold increase in arriving migrants — up to 10 busloads a day — sent here by Republican governors trying to embarrass and strain Democratic sanctuary cities in the run-up to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, a top mayoral aide said Monday. Cristina Pacione-Zayas, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s deputy chief of staff, predicted the burgeoning crisis that has seen over 13,000 migrants descend on the city over the last year will intensify the closer it gets to the Chicago convention next August.(Snip) they want to make the case that Democratic-led cities are not capable of living up to the values that we have.
A giant, sucking sound is coming out of Wall Street — and it’s siphoning staggering sums of money out of the Big Apple while handing business to Florida and other states farther south.
Nearly 160 Wall Street firms have moved their headquarters out of New York since the end of 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion — yes, that’s trillion with a “T” — in assets under management with them, according to data from 17,000 companies compiled by Bloomberg. (Snip) Last year, financial firms paid $5.4 billion in New York taxes and accounted for nearly a quarter of all personal income tax collections
More than 200 raucous demonstrators rallied outside a former Staten Island nursing home Sunday, chanting, “Close the border!” to protest its possible conversion to an emergency shelter for migrants.
“Don’t call them immigrants. Call them ‘illegals,’ ” Ray Thaisz, 66,(Snip) The possibility of converting the former Midland Beach nursing home first surfaced last year, when the 288-bed facility was on the verge of being sold, according to a report this month by the Staten Island Advance.
The sale meant that 53 senior citizens would have to be relocated from the assisted living facility — and local pols raised fears that the site was being eyed for conversion to a migrant shelter.

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.” (Snip) Right now, hedge funds and private billionaires are buying up residential homes and farmland all over the world. At the same time, unrealistic zero-emissions policies are impoverishing Westerners and annihilating the middle class, which is fueling reliance on centralized government.
Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently told NBC News reporter Ali Vitali in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday that he would sign a 15-week federal abortion ban into law if elected president, but then backtracked later in the day. “The decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life,” Kennedy told Vitali. (Snip) Hours later, Kennedy’s presidential campaign issued a statement regarding RFk Jr.’s remarks on abortion.
“Mr. Kennedy misunderstood a question posed to him by a NBC reporter in a crowded, noisy exhibit hall at the Iowa State Fair,” his campaign wrote in an unsigned statement on Sunday.
I was not going to write about Oliver Anthony’s brilliant song, Rich Men North of Richmond, because I have nothing worthy to add. The video puts all other commentary to shame. North of Richmond refers to the federal government, which is too large, too powerful and too uncaring.
But Mark Antonio Wright, executive editor of the Never Trump National Review, butted in with a Learn-to-Code column attacking Anthony for daring to complain about DC’s treatment of the working class. It lectured Anthony to be more like Woody Guthrie, the Nazi apologist and communist.(Snip)what makes America great are the very things National Review now opposes.
Having watched Big Labor buy the White House for Joe Biden in 2020, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has taken a page out of the same playbook. Last month, the governor, who reportedly has designs on the Oval Office himself one day, handed a taxpayer-funded sweetheart deal to one of his state’s largest public employee unions.
The state’s new collective bargaining agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 31 gifts its 35,000 state employee members a nearly 20 percent pay raise over four years, including a 4 percent raise this year. That adds up to a 61 percent better deal than they got during their last

NASCAR driver Noah Gragson will miss the next two races of the 2023 season as Legacy Motor Club announced Tuesday that Mike Rockenfeller will drive the No. 42 at Indianapolis and Watkins Glen, New York.
Gragson was suspended indefinitely over the weekend after he appeared to like a meme depicting George Floyd. Legacy Motor Club said his actions did not "represent the values of our team." NASCAR levied the indefinite suspension on him for violating the organization’s code of conduct. (Snip) Josh Berry replaced Gragson in the No. 42 at Michigan over the weekend. He crashed and did not finish the race.
Former NCAA Division 1 athletes Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan were among those who were targeted by "hostile" protesters that gathered in Texas on Monday in opposition of the "Save Women’s Sports Act."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was joined by Gaines and Scanlan at the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame at Texas Woman’s University in Denton for a ceremonial signing of the bill, which was previously signed into law in June. But according to those in attendance, protesters that gathered at the event threw items and spat at those who gathered in support of the legislation. (Snip) I guess the best word to describe them was they were rabid.

A family is desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door and killed their relative in a pre-dawn raid last week.
The FBI is refusing to tell a grieving mother why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am last Wednesday and fatally shot her son.
According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at a residence in Henderson, Tennessee to serve a man named Theodore Deschler an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.
A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan (R) is consulting with the state attorney general to determine if the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment empowers him to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential ballot.
As secretary of state, Scanlan oversees New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary that will take place at the beginning of 2024. However, Scanlan has caught wind of scholars’ recent arguments that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause prohibits Trump from being on the presidential ballot.
As ABC7 Chicago detailed:
In a recent revelation, GOP presidential candidate Hirsh Singh has brought to light controversial details concerning Vivek Ramaswamy’s political affiliations and voting history. Documentation obtained from the Franklin County, Ohio Board of Elections suggests that Ramaswamy is not a registered Republican but, rather, a registered “Unaffiliated” voter.
In an X post (formerly Twitter), Singh wrote, “Per documentation received by Vivek Ramswamy’s Franklin County, Ohio Board of Elections Vivek is not a registered Republican, but Registered Unaffiliated and never voted in a Republican Primary in his entire life.”
Carlos Santana is a rock music legend and an absolutely fantastic guitar player, one of the greatest of all time. Since he’s Latino, you’d think he would have a few extra layers of immunity from the rabid online cancel culture mob, but alas, all of that is forgotten when you dare to make a scientifically accurate statement that bursts the LGBTQ community’s bubble of delusion. The “T” in “LGBTQ” stands for transgender, by the way.
According to Breitbart News, the media is now slamming Santana as “anti-transgender” because he stated the clear biological truth that “a woman is a woman and a man is a man” during one of his recent
In a now widely noted Tablet article, David Garrow pointed out Obama’s fantasies of sexual perversion with men. To that, AT’s Jack Cashill added the dishonesty in Obama’s autobiography regarding the question of his birth and his claim to being the author of his first book. What’s also missing from Obama biographies is his identification with Islam. Obama is, after all, the bearer of two Arabic names, with the second that of the Prophet Muhammed’s grandson.
DailyMail.com revealed this week how the Biden administration was considering slashing alcohol guidelines to just two drinks per week.
Dr George Koob, America's alcohol czar, said that evidence had increasingly indicated no amount of alcohol was good for human health.
Yet every year, studies hint that when consumed in moderation, there may be mild benefits to drinking alcohol. The theories range from booze acting as a way to de-stress to health benefits gained from consuming the antioxidants in wine, but none of these have ever been proven definitively.
We put the question of whether any amount of alcohol can be beneficial to six experts —
Police in Massachusetts are continuing to cover up information about the death of Obama personal chef Tafari Campbell even after declaring the case closed this week, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The response has prompted an outcry from First Amendment advocates who have been left asking: 'What do they have to hide?'
And it has also sparked a plethora of conspiracy theories including the role of the former president's family in the cover-up and Campbell's relationship with the unidentified woman who witnessed his death.Earlier this month state police had withheld information under the guise of an 'ongoing investigation', citing a Public Records Law exemption that allows

President Joe Biden was serenaded with boos and jeers when he stepped out in public on Friday while on vacation in Lake Tahoe, and the look on his face was absolutely priceless.
The deeply unpopular leader has spent most of the month of August away from the White House, padding the number of vacation days that he has taken since his inauguration, which recently topped an entire year, this time staying at the opulent $18 million home of billionaire Democrat donor and climate alarmist Tom Steyer.
A video that has gone viral on social media captures the moment that the elderly Biden realizes that he isn’t nearly as beloved
Trump: The Leader of a Faction or a Party?
14 replies
Throughout my time campaigning for public office, over the course of several Republican Party primaries I ran against an incumbent, as an incumbent, and for an open seat. The last GOP primary I contested was for our party’s nomination for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District in 2002. Fortunately, I was successful in every one of these primaries and, later, in the ensuing general elections. What helped make these latter general election victories possible was the grace and magnanimity of my defeated GOP primary rivals, each of whom supported my campaigns against Democrat opponents.
Portland's Predictable Doom Loop
14 replies
The people elected and selected to run Portland, Oregon, are like kids who get their first car and never think to change the oil. The city is led by a cadre of ardent leftists who thought they could just rev the engine, ignore maintenance, and see the city magically run itself. Instead, they’ve driven the City of Roses into a Doom Loop.
At one time not so long ago, Portland leaders turned the sleepy town into a progressive hub for the creative class, spending billions on 19th-century light rail Choo Choo trains to convey bus riders to their planned utopia. The more the plans failed, the more the planners planned,
On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.
Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests.
A Canadian lawmaker has revealed a 'game-plan' is being devised on how to respond if the US becomes a far-right, authoritarian regime, following the presidential election.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is keeping a close eye on who is going to be America's next leader, the National Post reports.
'We are certainly working on scenarios,' Joly told a Montreal radio station in French during an interview this week. 'In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation.
