No, Illegal Immigrants Do Not Make the
Country Rich
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/20/2024 4:56:32 PM
There is a joke about immigration: “If illegal aliens grow the economy, then the countries they left must be rich.” The reality is, however, that rather than making the country richer, illegal immigrants cost the country money. The amount of money the government spends on illegal aliens each year is “the equivalent of $500 per American man, woman, child, and retiree.” Every day, approximately 5,000 illegal aliens enter the United States. The media claims that immigration is growing the US economy, using this argument to justify open borders and illegal immigration. However, there are several intentionally misleading points here. First, the economic growth attributed to immigration

Furious at Harry for His ‘Unofficial
Royal Visit’ to Nigeria 18 replies
Another week, another imbroglio involving the Mountbatten-Windsor Royal Family.
Just a few days ago, Prince Harry’s visit to London stirred controversy for King Charles not receiving him. Harry’s team said the King was ‘too busy’, but rumors say that Harry demanded Queen Camilla not be in the room during the meeting, leading Charles to deny him the meeting.
Now, it is reported that the Dukes of Sussex Harry and Meghan’s recent ‘unofficial royal trip’ to Nigeria left King Charles and Prince William ‘absolutely furious’.
The couple visited the African country over the weekend ‘to promote the Invictus Games’.
Iranian women are celebrating the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and dancing on his “dirty grave.”
The “Butcher of Tehran” oversaw a brutal crackdown on the protests in 2022 that rose against the Islamic “morality police.”
As reported earlier, a helicopter carrying Iranian President and mass murderer Ebrahim Raisi crashed while visiting a northern region.
The Iranian state reported Raisi’s death.
Raisi oversaw a brutal crackdown on the Iranian people protesting following the murder of 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini by regime thugs.
Amini died from injuries sustained at the hands of police after her arrest for the “improper” wearing of a hijab.
Star Wars may exist in a celestial array outside the seen world, but its wokeness is lighting America's entertainment universe. For proof, look no further than one of its recent path-paving kids' cartoons.

Across a galaxy far, far away, a spectacular span of cultural space has been traversed; perhaps the trip was aided by lightspeed. In the late '70s, the sci-fi behemoth blasted off via a story as traditional as it gets -- three men set out to rescue a beautiful princess from the clutches of a sinister warlord. With the help of two robots and a towering dog-man, they defeat evil. It was an old-fashioned fairy tale,

Cohen Admits to Stealing From Trump and More 16 replies
It's not quite time for closing arguments in the New York-based criminal case against Donald Trump, but the crescendo is building.
On Monday, disgraced felon Michael Cohen retook the stand as he continued to serve as the prosecution's star witness. The problem? Cohen is a proven liar and total s*****g, and Trump's legal team got him to admit that on the stand in no uncertain terms.
In a moment that set the internet on fire, Cohen admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump organization. [Tweets]

The Left’s Funny Definition of Fascism
4 replies
According to weirdos, Donald Trump’s likely return to the White House will usher in an age of fascism unprecedented in American history, which is odd since a Trump presidency was recently precedent in American history, and that interregnum of constitutional governance brought us our only respite from nascent fascism – as defined by people who know what fascism is – in the last fifteen years or so. We heard this in 2016, too, and in 2020 as well. Hysterical warnings about Trumpussolini are all the rage again, only they are more hysterical than before as it dawns on the left that maybe renominating a corrupt, desiccated old pervert
With the prosecution winding down in Donald Trump’s Manhattan case, we have to ask, in the immortal words of Peggy Lee: Is that all there is?
It’s become utterly apparent (if wasn’t already) that the key element of any prosecution is missing here: namely, a crime.
Yes, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg developed a totally novel legal theory by which 34 misdemeanor counts of business-records falsification, though past the statute of limitations, could be converted into felony charges because they were — allegedly — in the service of covering up another crime.
But Bragg’s team forgot to offer any evidence that the records were falsified.
First lady and fake “doctor” Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office.
Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers’ annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who’ll bless public education.
“I always believed that Joe would be the best education president,” she said, according to the New York Post.
Uh huh … [Tweet]
Trump, on the other hand, “wakes up every morning caring about one person — and one person only — himself,” she added.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to strengthen our public education system — he wants to destroy it,”
A new study has found that people who’ve undergone transgender surgery boast a much higher risk of committing suicide.
Published last month in Cureus, a medical science journal, the study specifically found that “[g]ender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks.”
The researchers reached this conclusion by analyzing the healthcare data of 90 million adults aged 18 to 60. They specifically looked at emergency room treatment data for those who’d undergone transgender surgery.
The patients were divided into four groups — one containing people who’d undergone transgender surgery and an E.R. visit, and one containing people who’d undergone no transgender surgery but who had partaken in an E.R. visit.
When Georgia parents Corey and Diana Sullivan took their three-month-old daughter, Amelia, to the hospital, they had no idea that within 24 hours, their children would be removed from their home due to false allegations of child abuse. Diana spoke with RedState about the family and their ongoing fight to get their children back.
Corey and Diana met in middle school and married at 21, then spent 16 years trying to have children. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF), they finally succeeded, welcoming (now) four-year-old Arabella and eleven-month-old twins Amelia and Christian. "We were elated to find out that we were having twins," the mother recalled.
President Trump just can’t stop winning, as the many indictments levied against him by his political opponents continue to earn him billions of dollars worth of press coverage. In fact, these indictments and the resulting media storm are doing a better job of convincing doubters of the authenticity of his agenda than President Trump and his team could likely do on their own!
Suburban moderates and independents, the type of gilded voters most likely to be offended by Trump’s rhetorical bombast or otherwise buy into the anti-Trump propaganda blitz, are seeing a sort of coordinated, repellent injustice against Trump previously unfathomable within their narrow worldview.

I’m glad my kids are too young to realize just how stupid most of the people who lead our government are. I’d like them to be realists about idiots rising in power, but at 6 and 5 it’s a little too soon for that, let childhood bloom.
Meanwhile, the rest of us have to live in a world where our tax dollars pay the salaries of morons to have the equivalent of a “your mama” match in the halls of Congress.

Meghan Markle could be on her way to the White House, with a slew of experts tipping her for a potential run at the presidency.(Snip)Following her and Prince Harry's high-profile visit to Nigeria, buzz around Meghan's possible political ambitions has intensified.(Snip)The couple's recent trip to Nigeria, which mirrored a Royal tour, was deemed so successful that a political insider from California hinted that Meghan might aim to "queue jump" into a prominent position within US politics, emulating Trump's leap from business to the presidency without prior political experience. A source revealed: "She [Meghan] has her eyes on the prize."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made a campaign promise to black farmers that will give them $5 billion in reparations should he win the 2024 presidential election.
Kennedy, a one-time Democrat turned third-party insurgent, was speaking on a recent episode of his podcast with John Boyd Jr., founder of the National Black Farmers Association.
Boyd Jr. is behind an effort to sue the Biden administration for watering down a proposed debt relief program aimed at helping people of color and 'socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers' in the agriculture industry.
It is with a heavy heart that we must report who Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's real killer is: The United States of America.
At least, that's the implication from Iran, which needed a couple of days to get its story straight and blame "Western sanctions" on the poor quality of its helicopters, which led to Raisi's untimely demise. That talking point is now floating around, thanks to friendly media outlets willing to overlook (if not actually cheer on) Iran being a country run by very bad people.
“One of the culprits behind yesterday’s tragedy is the United States, because of its sanctions that bar Iran from procuring essential aviation parts,”
Judge Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.

Many families are struggling with rising monthly expenses. For families with children in diapers, extra costs are really hard to manage.
According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 92% of families receiving diapers in Tennessee are working and still are unable to afford an adequate supply of diapers.
Fortunately, a new benefit for families with TennCare could be coming at the perfect time.
It was just announced that the state's Medicaid program will start covering 100 diapers a month for newborns, infants and 1-year-olds.
"They're expensive, so this is going to be a huge, huge break," said Doug Adair, president of Nashville Diaper Connection.
Amal Clooney played a key role in arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
If her name sounds familiar it is because she is the wife of actor George Clooney. She advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) in favor of issuing the warrants.
The fact that Israel is accused of crimes against humanity when it is fighting for its survival against the internationally recognized terror organization that massacred Israelis and others on October 7, 2023, is unbelievable. Equating Israel and Hamas is unacceptable. How would any reasonable person argue that Israel is the same as Hamas unless that person was an anti-Israel, anti-Jew antisemitic?
Microsoft has announced a new line of AI-enhanced Windows PCs, aiming to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices by integrating the Copilot AI assistant into the Windows operating system. The creepy system will take constant screenshots of your activity to track your every move.
Fortune reports that at an event held at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella introduced the new class of AI-imbued personal computers, emphasizing their potential to anticipate users’ needs and intentions. “We’re entering this new era where computers not only understand us, but can actually anticipate what we want and our intent,” Nadella stated.
Biden Admin Sends Iran Condolences After

The Biden administration on Monday sent "official condolences" to the Iranian regime following a weekend helicopter crash that claimed the lives of its hardline president and foreign minister.
"The United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, foreign minister [Hossein] Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation in a helicopter crash in northwest Iran," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement. (snip) Raisi, a longtime hardliner who was close to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was known for leading chants of "death to America" during public events in Iran.
Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that there was only a 50% chance the presidential debates happen.
Host Jen Psaki said, “What you think Biden needs to do in this debate?” Carville said, “He needs to hit this abortion issue home. That is the first thing he should do. I’m not going to point to the Supreme Court. I’m not going to complain about the Supreme Court operating under the same ethics rules. The one issue I would kick hard. I wonder why it is not being kicked hard, is this billion dollar donation on the right to energy policies in the United States.
We know that the FBI and DOJ made a point of conducting the Mar-a-Lago raid when they knew Trump would not be there. However, newly released documents associated with the raid empowered the FBI and DOJ agents present on the scene to shoot Donald Trump and his Secret Service detail if necessary. We don’t know if this was standard operating procedure or not, but it’s certainly concerning on its face. [Snip] Assuming that the use of deadly force statement is not the FBI’s standard operating procedure, its inclusion in the raid plan is disturbing. And even if it is SOP,
The U.S. and Niger issued a joint statement on Sunday that set a deadline of September 15 for the withdrawal of all U.S. forces. The departing American troops leave behind a $100-million military base built to support counter-terrorism operations in the Sahel region.
The disposition of Airbase 201 in Niger’s city of Agadez was left unclear in the joint statement, which held out hopes that the U.S. and Niger might be able to work on “issues of mutual interest” in the future.In a conference call with reporters on Sunday afternoon, a senior Defense Department official said the departing American forces would bring “sensitive equipment, lethal equipment, [and] hazardous equipment” with them.
President Biden’s message for fresh-faced African-American college grads: America is racist, and black Americans are set up to fail.
In his Sunday commencement speech at historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta, the prez vowed “to call out the poison of white supremacy,” and “to root out systemic racism.”
“It’s natural to wonder if democracy . . . actually works for you,” he told the ranks of young black men; and black Americans “have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot.”
He also threw Israel under the bus again, explicitly calling for “an immediate ceasefire” and assuring the crowd he supports “peaceful, nonviolent protest”
