Crossers as Rents Skyrocket for Americans
Posted By: Ribicon, 8/17/2022 11:32:06 PM
New York City officials are hoping to provide a total of nearly 6,000 luxury hotel rooms to border crossers arriving on buses from Texas even as rents for city residents skyrocket to unsustainable prices. For weeks, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has sent buses filled with border crossers to New York City—a rigorous sanctuary city that shields and protects illegal aliens from arrest and deportation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Mayor Eric Adams (D), a supporter of the city’s sanctuary policy, has called on New Yorkers to get “on board” with waves of illegal immigration sent to New York City while also calling the migrant buses “horrific”

Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise doubled down on her decision not to resign amid calls to do so after she allegedly hit a bicyclist in her car last month before fleeing the scene. During a city council meeting Wednesday night, DeGise addressed personal attacks and pushed back on her critics who are calling for her resignation. She said they should wait until the legal process unfolds before commenting further on the situation. About 100 people spoke at the meeting that was open to the public. Most speakers called for DeGise to resign. Only a few expressed support. "When the legal process in traffic court is finished, I will
The Biden administration said Thursday it will try to super-charge its monkeypox response by making an additional 1.8 million doses of the Jynneos vaccine available to states, starting Monday, and setting aside tens of thousands of doses for places that are hosting gay pride events.(Snip) “We are working to meet demand wherever we may find it,” White House monkeypox coordinator Robert Fenton said.
Mr. Fenton said states will be able to request federal assistance if they need help administering the vaccines. “More shots in arms is how we get the outbreak under control,” he said.
More than half of Americans believe that the situation at the southern border amounts to an 'invasion' while another third of respondents in a new poll expressed worry over being replaced by illegal immigrants. The new NPR/Ipsos poll released Thursday shows an overall decline in support for immigration as new images emerge every day of hundreds to thousands of migrants crossing illegally over the southern border.(Snip)Meanwhile, 28 percent of Americans say it is 'completely true' that there is an 'invasion' at the southern border and another 25 percent say the statement is 'somewhat true.' Just 19 percent of respondents say the claims of invasion are 'completely false'
The U.S. Marshals Service is drafting a sanctuary policy that would limit the agency’s ability to hold illegal immigrants for pickup by ICE, The Washington Times has learned. Under the policy, marshals would not be able to hold illegal immigrants for pickup by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the say-so of an immigration warrant, or “detainer” request. Once the Marshals Service is finished processing an immigrant for its custody purposes, the person is to be released even if ICE has asked for a hold.
Officials said the policy is still in draft form, though The Times knows of one jurisdiction in Florida where it has already been implemented,
The British Royal Air Force has suspended job offers to white men to meet their diversity targets. No longer will white men be hired to pilot the RAF planes. They are the wrong color and gender. There is a word for this—it’s called racism. The head of recruitment resigned over the impossible diversity targets. The liberals are compromising the UK’s safety to achieve their diversity targets. Sky News reported: The head of RAF recruitment has resigned in protest at an “effective pause” on offering jobs to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities, defence sources have claimed.
The senior female officer apparently handed in her notice

White House climate official Jane Lubchenco has been barred for the next five years from the National Academy of Sciences, which determined she violated its code of conduct in a prior role before joining the administration last year. Ms. Lubchenco, deputy director for climate and environment at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, edited a paper for NAS that was later retracted because it contained outdated information and was co-written by her brother-in-law. The move to rebuke the climate official and prohibit her from NAS publications and activities came last week after the conservative American Accountability Foundation inquired NAS about the misconduct back in January.
The companies of mega-rich celebrities, including billionaires Kanye West and Jay-Z, received millions in government PPP loans–and in virtually every case the A-listers have been let off the hook for paying back the full amount. For the first time, DailyMail.com can reveal the exact amounts that these wealthy companies got through the Payment Protection Program, which was set up for desperate businesses hit by the Covid pandemic. In all but two of the cases we examined, the company was 'forgiven' despite the star owners being multi-millionaires. The status of the others is unknown. The loan program cost US taxpayers $953billion,
A new study finds that more than half of Los Angeles County residents recently infected with the omicron variant of COVID-19 were unaware of it, suggesting the virus is spreading faster as it weakens. The study of 210 adults infected between Dec. 15 and May 4 was published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open. It found that 56% of those infected did not know they had COVID, with health care workers being more likely to know. Lead researcher Dr. Susan Cheng, a cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said those who didn’t know they had COVID had no symptoms or mild symptoms that they “attributed to another cause like
The Minneapolis school board took action Tuesday night to begin a process to rename the city's Patrick Henry High School. The resolution that passed unanimously is aimed at ending debate "about whether or not the name should be changed," and directs the north Minneapolis school's site council "to bring forward recommendations for a new school name." The resolution says students, staff and the community "recognize the need for a school name that better represents the values of the community." Patrick Henry High School was named after the 18th century American Founding Father who famously proclaimed "Give me liberty, or give me death!"(Snip)Henry said he was opposed to slavery—but

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday came out against calls within the GOP to defund the FBI following the raid of former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago. Mr. Pence also left the door open to testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee, saying he “would have to reflect on that.”(Snip)Mr. Pence made it clear where he stood in the debate. “Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police,” Mr. Pence said in response to a question at a “Politics and Eggs” breakfast at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College, according to CBS.
Target Corp.'s profits took a nosedive this summer as the retailer worked to whittle down excessive inventory. The Minneapolis-based retailer said Wednesday morning that its profit fell 90% in the May-through-July period as it cut prices and canceled orders to get rid of items that weren't selling. It earned $183 million, or 39 cents a diluted share. That was 33 cents below the consensus forecast of analysts. Revenue for the second quarter grew 3.5% to $26 billion.
Target executives said that, while their effort to right size its inventory harmed profitability for the quarter, they were confident that it was the right move for the future

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said in an interview with The Hill TV that the “majority” of Republican voters are “stupid” and “evil.”
Discussing the brand of the Democratic Party, Carville said, “So much of what has happened to my party is we tend to get defined by some over-educated, totally doofus coastal elites that are out trying to write dictionaries or something unrelated to anybody’s life. And that kind of stuff has a tendency to be very sticky, to stick with people. It is not who the party is. They are a very small part of the Democratic Party.” He continued, “These people have the ability to irritate.
Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that he believed pastors in America are failing their congregations because many Christians are equating former President Donald Trump to Jesus.
Kinzinger said, “I’ve come to believe over the last year that people, more than even fearing death, we’re such a tribalistic people that they fear being kicked out of their tribe. So, you accept anything because now Republicanism, conservatism, Trumpism becomes your identity, and so, you’re going to stay.”
He continued, “I’m going to say this as a Christian myself, the pastors, many pastors in this country are failing their congregations.
It’s abundantly clear that former Vice President Mike Pence is going to run for president in 2024. He’s been putting in the leg work lately, with a scheduled trip to New Hampshire coming up. He’s also positioned himself as a Trump foil in the mid-term GOP primaries, taking a contrary position to the former president in several states, most recently in Arizona.
For my part, I think Pence’s pursuit is delusional. There is exactly one person in the GOP who would be palatable to Trump voters if Trump himself weren’t the nominee, and his name is Ron DeSantis.

CDC Admits Its Covid Performance Was Lacking

Today CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video to the agency’s 11,000 employees that was sharply critical of CDC’s covid performance:
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday delivered a sweeping rebuke of her agency’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying it had failed to respond quickly enough and needed to be overhauled.
“To be frank, we are responsible for some pretty dramatic, pretty public mistakes, from testing to data to communications,” she said in a video distributed to the agency’s roughly 11,000 employees.
Dr. Walensky said the C.D.C.’s future depended on whether it could absorb the lessons of the last few years,

Defeated Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney confirmed Wednesday that she is “thinking about” running for the White House to keep her nemesis, former President Donald Trump, “out of the Oval Office.”
“It is something that I am thinking about and I’ll make a decision in the coming months,” the 56-year-old daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney told NBC News’ “Today” show.
“I will be doing whatever it takes to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office.”
Cheney insisted the Republican party “has really become a cult of personality” under Trump — who “continues to pose a very grave threat and risk to our republic.”
“I think it’s certainly the most important
The Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" - which according to the Congressional Budget Office will raise taxes on the middle class to the tune of $20 billion - not to mention unleash an army of IRS agents on working class Americans over the next decade, was made possible by Bill Gates and (in smaller part) Larry Summers, who have been known to hang out together. (Snip) Gates looks back at the new law with satisfaction. He achieved what he set out to do. “I will say that it's one of the happier moments of my climate work,” Gates said. “I have two things that excite me about climate work.
President Joe Biden put special emphasis on the “climate crisis” in the address he delivered on Tuesday before signing the 730-page Inflation Reduction Act.
“The Inflation Reduction Act invests $369 billion to take the most aggressive action ever, ever, ever, ever, in confronting the climate crisis and strengthening our economic—our energy security,” he said.
“This bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever—ever—and it’s going to allow—it’s going to allow us to boldly take additional steps toward meeting all of my climate goals — the ones we set out when we ran,” he said.
Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May, public health and infectious disease experts have told the public that the virus is largely transmitting through skin-to-skin contact, in particular during sex between men. Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself — both anal as well as oral intercourse — is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission. The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say, is probably much less of a risk factor.

Owners of luxury hotels that are having trouble keeping their occupancy rates up can simply turn to the city government, just as they did during Covid, and the city will fill those rooms at top-dollar prices, and almost certainly pay for remodeling if and when the Migrants vacate the premises. How cool is that?
