US foreign-born population shatters record
as border crisis escalates
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 3/28/2024 8:30:24 PM
The immigrant population has exploded by an unprecedented 6.4 million under President Biden amid the migrant crisis — an increase four times higher than under former President Donald Trump, a new study reveals. Overall, a record-shattering 51 million people living in the United States were born in another country, a surge triggered by the millions of migrants crossing the border, the report by the Center for Immigration Studies found. “We’ve never seen anything like this before over a three-year period of time. All prior records have been surpassed,” said Steven Camarota, the research director for CIS and author of the analysis.

I was the only child of two only-children. So, not much aunt-uncle-cousin action in my life. Which may explain the intense focus on my parents, especially Dad.
I’ve mentioned him before in this ongoing series of personal Memories. (They are all linked below.) How he taught me the alphabet pre-kindergarten by helping me cut out, sand, and paint little plywood letters of the entire alphabet many times over. Which I then endlessly arranged in pretend words on the carpet.
And here I am three-quarters of a century later, still arranging those same letters, only these days on a laptop.

The contrast between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on Thursday in New York City was sharp. Trump attended the wake for NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was allegedly killed by a man with 21 arrests, and Trump spoke with Diller's family. Meanwhile, Joe Biden attended a fancy fundraiser with a lot of celebrities, along with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton there to help him raise money.
Not only was that a horrible look for Democratic priorities, but they also got anti-Israel protesters at the event. That ticked off Barack Obama, who got frustrated at them.
“You can’t just talk and not listen,” Obama said to the protesters.

Three Notable Departures From John Fetterman's

The political metamorphosis of Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) over the last few months has been nothing short of remarkable, with the Menendez indictment and the Israel-Hamas war seeming to be two of the main turning points for what some political observers have described as his rightward shift.
In addition to that, Fetterman has given public statements acknowledging that the Biden border crisis is a big problem - something his Democratic colleagues never do, has scorched California's Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom on occasion, and even showed compassion towards Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and her son at a time when not many people would.

We've been reporting on the huge flood of illegal aliens pouring across the southern border, and for more than three years now, Joe Biden has done nothing substantive to try to slow the flow. In addition to all the resulting problems like the overwhelming of the system, the drugs and crime that has resulted from all this, it puts our nation in great danger because it's a massive national security threat. The Biden team has no idea who is coming across that border.
There have been a lot of questions about Chinese men of military age coming across the border in ever-increasing numbers.
If things were going swimmingly for Democrats, they wouldn’t be looking to these two to give Joe Biden a hand on the campaign trail. It’s a sign that Democrats aren’t taking any chances since the political landscape changed. The 2024 race is going to be a base election. Trump doesn’t have an issue in that department, but Biden is facing defections among core groups of what was the Obama coalition. As much as Democrats might see dragooning Barack Obama and Bill Clinton out of retirement to help the aging and dementia-ridden president, it also highlights one significant flaw about Biden.
The man has zero political skill.
Woman Records Very Creepy Visit by the FBI

Three individuals who claimed to be FBI agents visited a woman in Oklahoma. If there were any examples of the Department of Justice becoming Joe Biden’s personal Stasi, this is it—they were there to ask the woman about the anti-Biden memes she posted on Facebook. Of course, she wasn’t going to answer any of their questions, only declaring that what she did was an exercise of her constitutional right to free speech on a social media platform. The agent gives a number for the FBI office in Oklahoma City before departing. [Videos]
What is going on here? We’re seeing Gestapo-like tactics, the byproduct of the politicization of the DOJ
The Democrats' plans to pre-rig the 2024 presidential election with the help of corrupt judges and prosecutors aren't going well, and their frustration is beginning to show.
Their ambitions were grand. The judges and prosecutors they enlisted were so willing to pervert the law that the Dems were certain that Donald Trump wouldn't get anywhere near the nomination, let alone Election Day. For a long time, Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media were expending equal amounts of energy on attacking Ron DeSantis, because that's who they thought they were going to face in November.
Not that they thought DeSantis would steamroll through the GOP primaries, mind you,
Could it really take twice as long and four times as much money to replace the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge than it did to build it in the first place?
The Key Bridge was built at a cost (adjusted for inflation) of about $200 million. Replacing it could take a decade and cost $400 million to $800 million dollars, according to experts in what has become a dismal field.
“To actually recreate that whole transportation network" could take a decade or more, structural engineer Ben Schafer told USA Today on Wednesday. Huge projects, Schafer said, now take “rarely less than 10 years."

Special Counsel Jack Smith's efforts to imprison Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents have hit a few snags recently, and the latest snag is, indeed, a big one.
"Special Counsel Jack Smith could be blocked from using evidence against Donald Trump contained in grand jury investigation files, which were transferred to the former president's Florida classified documents case this week, a former prosecutor has suggested," reports Newsweek. "In 2023, a grand jury in Washington, D.C., heard evidence from witnesses—including Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran—while considering whether charges should be brought against the former president and others for hoarding classified documents. However, Trump and his co-accused were later indicted in Florida
March 29, 2024, is Good Friday, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the White House website. A slew of presidential proclamations were posted to the site Friday, including a Proclamation on Cesar Chavez Day, a Proclamation on Arab American Heritage Month, and several others, but, as of this writing, no proclamation acknowledging Good Friday.
Joe Biden often boasts about his Catholic faith and his regular church attendance, yet acknowledging this holy day for Christians was apparently beneath him.
Making the omission even worse is that one of the proclamations issued on Friday was for the so-called Transgender Day of Visibility —
The official Super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump launched a new website allowing users to compare Trump-era grocery prices to the current high prices experienced by consumers during President Joe Biden's presidency.
The Make America Great Again Inc. PAC shared an exclusive preview of the 'Biden Mart' website with the DailyMail.com.
The Biden-Mart.com website includes an over two dozen common grocery items for the user to check off to see what the cost of their total grocery bill would be.
The items includes meat, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products that have all gone up in price since Trump was president.
The list also includes ice cream,
The Uniparty is quietly scheming (again) to rig the system and prevent President Trump from ever becoming President. This scheme involves a two-part strategy: using a combination of strategically planned retirements of Republican House members, coupled with the passage of carefully tailored legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot on bogus Insurrection grounds that would likely pass muster with moderate justices on the Supreme Court, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who prefer to avoid deciding on “controversial” legal questions and risk being seen in a bad light by their liberal peers.
The fact that over a dozen House Republicans have recently announced their early retirement,

Journalists in the White House press corps covering President Joe Biden’s administration habitually steal insignia items from Air Force One, four people told West Wing Playbook.
The looting reportedly grew to such a degree under Biden’s tenure that the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, NBC correspondent Kelly O’Donnell, issued a “terse reminder” that stealing from Air Force One is not allowed, several individuals who saw the off-the-record email confirmed to Playbook.None of the members of the press corps reportedly responded to O’Donnell’s email.

HOUSTON, Texas -- AccuWeather released its 2024 hurricane outlook forecast, showing this could be an explosive year. What could be lurking in the Gulf of Mexico this summer has AccuWeather meteorologists raising the alarm. "AccuWeather hurricane experts have serious and growing concerns about what can become a supercharged hurricane season this year," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said. AccuWeather's hurricane forecast shows there could be as many as 25 named storms, upwards of 12 hurricanes, and as many as seven strong hurricanes. It also predicts that upwards of six hurricanes could directly hit the United States. All of those numbers are
Claim: Comedian Jon Stewart said this week that the loans at the center of the civil real-estate case against Donald Trump meant there were fewer loans available to other borrowers.
“Money isn’t infinite. A loan that goes to the liar doesn’t go to someone who’s giving a more honest evaluation. So the system becomes incentivized for corruption,” Stewart said.
Verdict: False.
The amount of money available for loans from banks is not diminished when banks make loans to other customers, except in the rare case of a distressed bank that is capital-constrained. A loan to one customer does not subtract from a fixed pool of loans
President Biden has sparked outrage by declaring Easter Sunday will also officially become Transgender Day of Visibility.
The White House doubled up backlash as it also banned religious imagery in submissions from children of military families taking part in the traditional Easter Egg Roll event, as critics branded the moves an 'attack on Christianity.' [snip] As he declared Easter Sunday would also be 'Transgender Day of Visibility', Biden also delivered a scathing attack on Republicans while stressing that 'transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation'
The Army is opening the doors to retired soldiers to return to active duty to fill critical worldwide shortages. This follows the Air Force's February announcement that it would allow up to 1,000 retirees, including pilots, to return to active duty for up to four years.The message called an All Army Activities or ALARACT message says:
“A review of commands’ requests for [the] fill of authorized personnel vacancies, in conjunction with current Army manning guidance, prompted review of how the Army can fill key and critical position vacancies,” the document stated, outlining the current situation. “The retiree recall program can be an effective tool to
The Gateway Pundit reported last week that Joe Biden issued the most radical environmental rules in American history to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles and force customers to drive ineffective electric cars. Now, a new report has revealed the effort to finish off the gas-powered car is well-underway in eight states.
As The Daily Mail reported Tuesday, the rules being adopted in these states specify that only zero-emission vehicles, which include electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids, can be sold beginning with the 2035 model year. This is known as the Advanced Clean Cars II rule.
Critics reacted in alarm this week after the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri awarded the Associated Press with a “Pictures of the Year” award for photos including an Israeli victim of Hamas.
The most controversial photograph shows the body of 23-year-old Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual citizen who was kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, on the back of a truck. Video would later show Palestinians abusing her corpse. The Associated Press won “Team Picture Story of the Year” for its coverage of the “Israel and Hamas War.” The accompanying statement by the Reynolds Journalism Institute is riddled with inaccuracies: claiming that Hamas kidnapped
A California Democrat wants to tax sales of gold, cotton, tobacco and other goods linked to slavery — and to divert the money to black residents, in the latest bid to turn reparations into reality.
The bill by Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer is one of more than a dozen bills backed by the California Legislative Black Caucus seeking reparations for black Californians, especially the descendants of slaves.
They stem from a July 2023 report from the state Reparations Task Force, where Jones-Sawyer served as a member, and underscores efforts to turn controversial policies into a legally-binding compensation scheme.
On Friday, musical artist Lizzo took to Instagram to post a message declaring to her 12 million followers that she 'quits,' while lamenting about "being dragged on the internet," with rumors and jokes being told about her.

Lizzo, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, posted:

Prosecute Jon Stewart over Property Overvaluation 21 replies
New York Attorney General Letitia James is facing mounting pressure to prosecute comedian Jon Stewart after it was revealed that he overvalued his Manhattan home — the same so-called “offense” for which James is prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), radio host Andrew Wilkow, and Trump attorney Alina Habba are among those calling for “Tish” to show that no one is above the law.
Jon Stewart was recently found to have overvalued his Tribeca duplex by more than 800 percent when he was selling it back in 2014.
Details in the lawsuits against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs allege a debaucherous lifestyle of underage sex, drugs, beatings, and rapes.
On Monday, Homeland Security officials raided the mogul’s residences in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. The raid occurred at the music mogul’s mansion in the Holmby Hills neighborhood. “Investigators said across the coast, the music mogul’s Miami home was also raided Monday,” noted FOX.
“SkyFOX flew over Combs’ home Monday afternoon and showed federal agents conducting their investigation at his home.,” it added. “FOX 11’s ground crew at the scene said the home was registered to Bad Boys Films, which is a division of Bad Boy Entertainment, along with
