Military personnel were reportedly deployed to guard the Wolcott Hotel in Manhattan at the request of state officials. On Tuesday, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage of military stationed outside The Wolcott Hotel. The Wolcott Hotel, located on West 31st Street in New York City, has recently been converted into a mega-shelter for migrants. This transformation was confirmed by a report from the New York Post, which revealed that the hotel, once a bustling hub for tourists, has indefinitely closed its doors to regular guests back in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis

Words have meanings. It is not a migrant hotel. It is a hotel were the government is using tax dollars to house illegals. ( I think that makes our government a traitor! Housing felons)

Instead of guarding our border against illegal alien invaders, our government uses our military to protect the illegal invaders, and dem voters see nothing wrong with that picture!

Pray tell. Why is the military there? Who or what is the military protecting? State official requested this? Doesn't this require the approval of the GOVERNOR? What made this necessary? Or is our government trying to 'create' an incident.

Wouldn't it be nice if they put even half the money and effort into protecting and supporting their own citizens instead of the criminal illegal alien invaders?

What's going on? Open your eyes and look around. In what universe does it make sense for American politicians to import MORE poverty into the US, while our own citizens' needs remain unmet? Dems have spent decades claiming to want to "end" poverty, when their real goal has always been to import more of it. Who provides "sanctuary" for illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens? No politician who believes Americans deserve to come first in their own country wants any part of that. Only the least trustworthy of politicians takes sides against citizens, as Dems are doing all across the country. In Oregon, while schools in poor communities deteriorate, Oregon politicians can afford to hand out $30,000 "benefits" to "first time home buyers" including illegal aliens with absolutely no right to be on our soil. Folks tired of being treated as second class citizens in their own country need to step up and vote out those who WANT citizens at the end of the line behind the "newcomers."

This is a ploy to have the National Guard in NYC for the Trump sentencing. NYPD may call a sick out so they won't have to participate in that farce.

And the military members dutifully follow this illegal order, right? "In the video, he can be heard questioning the presence of the military at a civilian hotel, asking, “Is the army turning this thing into a migrant shelter? Why are you guys here? It’s a hotel. Why is the army at this hotel?” One of the soldiers responded bluntly, stating, “We’re here at the request of the State of New York.”"

#7,#10,#13~ The hour is late but just happened upon a social media article reinforcing the information posted by Ldotter #7 at 4:01 PM on 8/31/24 anticipating President Trump being “taken into custody and sent directly to Rikers Island by Judge Juan Merchan” on September 18th. Latest information “says the National Guard is being staged there because the Mayor of NYC and Governor Kathy Hochel both believe the police unions are preparing to stage a mass ‘out sick’ day in support of President Trump on September 18th because none of the officers want to be involved in the persecution of Donald Trump.” Further, “the New York State National Guard has started staging guardsmen in hotels around the NYC courthouse where President Trump is going to be sentenced on September 18th.” Reference: https://radiopatriot.net/2024/08/31/could-this-be-the-reason-the-ng-are-stationed-in-nyc/ “Could this be the reason the NG are stationed in NYC?” Abraham Lincoln: “I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord's side.” “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the president of Mexico and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris are in cahoots to flood the U.S. with as many illegal aliens as possible to shift America’s politics dramatically to the Left. Cruz made the remarks during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the vice president’s disastrous policies which have wreaked havoc on the southern border — and on communities across the U.S. that have had to deal with the explosion in crime and weight of having to provide for millions of illegal aliens. “Kamala Harris wants more illegal immigrants in America,” Cruz said.

Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris, her running mate MN Gov. Tim Walz, and her campaign surrogates will launch a bus tour on Tuesday to the battleground and Southern states. The theme? "Fighting for Reproductive Freedom." I have stated before that the only job where Harris has been effective is advocating for the killing of babies in the womb. This new messaging incorporates IVF and some of their other aims to reflect Democrats are "pro-family," but abortion is still the main event. Lipstick on a pig can be a different color or shade, but at the end of the day, it's still a pig.

Our old colleague Kristine Parks at FoxNews.com notes the new movie Reagan, starring Dennis Quaid, is strongly liked by audiences with a 97 percent audience score on the site Rotten Tomatoes. But the critics are liberals, and among them, it only had a 26 percent score. Compare that to the 2016 movie Southside with You, a biopic which gushed over young Barack and Michelle Obama. Both were positive movies, but the Obama film received rave reviews and a 91 percent score by critics (71 percent audience). Christian Toto told Fox News: "Film critics, by and large, lean relentlessly to the left, and they let that flavor their reviews.

Hamas terrorists filmed the six Israeli hostages before executing them last week — a gruesome reminder of the tactics of psychological warfare once used by ISIS. The Jerusalem Post reported: Hamas has released a video on Telegram on Monday showing the six recently slain hostages speaking into a camera, while also announcing that it will release their “last message to the world” before they were killed. In the video, all six hostages whose bodies were found by the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] on Sunday are seen confirming their identities before cutting to a still frame threatening to release their “last messages.”

The movie Reagan just opened. It’s wonderful, and the scene where he calls for Mr. Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall!” is amazing. Entertaining, heartwarming, and nostalgic are words that come to mind. A man of faith who loved America, Ronald Reagan’s historic persona is a president who reached across the aisle and struck chords that resonated with Democrats and Republicans alike — hence the phrase “Reagan Democrats.” Did Reagan believe in American exceptionalism? Perhaps, but his actions on the world stage to combat the Soviet Union’s desire to smother the world under communism made clear that if he did, he saw America’s exceptional nature not as privilege,

Tel Aviv, Israel— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike and U.S. President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting. In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt

Donald Trump says he will end the Justice Department moratorium on executions on his first day in office, and use the full force of the law to go after major drug dealers and cop killers. The Trump campaign sees crime, in general, and Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor in California, in particular, as areas where they can inflict damage on her presidential bid. And in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Trump laid out more details of his crime-fighting agenda starting with whether he would reverse the Biden-Harris administration's freeze on federal executions.

This, however, may not have been enough to change McConnell’s legacy, Schumer added.

A pair of reparations-related bills for the descendants of enslaved Black Americans failed to pass in the California legislature on Saturday after backers said the bills would not move forward. Authored by Democrat state Sen. Steven Bradford of Inglewood, Senate Bill 1331 would have created a new state fund for reparations, while Senate Bill 1403 would have established a state agency to oversee these efforts and determine who would be eligible. These measures were considered key components of some lawmakers’ ambitious efforts to pass legislation aimed at atoning for what they said was a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health.

During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed. Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she will advocate for popular policies antithetical to her own values, which will inevitably resurface after the election once the current façade fades away.

When Denver designated itself as a sanctuary city for migrants, it likely didn’t anticipate that its hospitality would result in a Venezuelan prison gang setting up shop in one of its suburbs. The Denver City government’s choice to tolerate and encourage open borders migration has enabled the violent Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela to make Aurora, Colorado a base of its operations. Now the gang has taken over apartment complexes and unleashed a growing wave of violent crime.
