The Kingfish obviously was aware that illegal aliens are called wet backs. Ergo, they are good swimmers. His logic is impressive, doncha think?

Well, they did manage to across the Rio Grand River to illegally enter the country. I suppose some swimming might have been involved in doing that.

Well, it wouldn’t be hard to find cholos who’d be happy to hang around where women and little girls are in swimwear. On the other hand (seriously), where I live, these immigrants are prone to drowning in the swimming areas at the local reservoir/campground. By wading into an unexpected deep spot where neither they or their friends can save them.

Adams is even more stupid than he lets on. One trip across the Rio Grande does not make a good swimmer, especially when most of them could wade across at the shallow crossings. Try swimming a mile in the ocean like some of us Navy guys had to do. So they lose a child or two to drowning, they can always make more.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno is making it clear: if liberal migrants from blue states don’t appreciate Florida’s firm stance on law and order, they should pack their bags and return to their crime-ridden home states. Sheriff Marceno’s primary message is that Californians and other liberals shouldn’t bring the policies that ruined their states to Sunshine State, Florida. Sheriff Marceno’s message comes as a rallying cry amidst growing frustration with policies in liberal states that have led to increased crime rates. In an interview with Fox News, the sheriff, who had previously lived in New York, spoke frankly about the flood of left-leaning newcomers who bring their failed policies with them.

Joe Biden’s America. An illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation was arrested in the murder of a 33-year-old West Virginia woman. David Antonio Calderon, 46, was arrested in Virginia after authorities found an unidentified woman on a burning couch in a field in Martinsburg. “Early findings from the state Medical Examiner’s Office point to burn injuries as the likely cause of death.” West Virginia News reported. According to police, Calderon, who went by the nickname “Amigo,” also attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat in April.

Joe Biden repeated a whopper about inflation (Snip) it is not even close to true that inflation was at nine percent when Biden took office. On the contrary, it was only at 1.4 percent. Even before the pandemic, it was well within the normal federal reserve range of two percent. Inflation only began to spike in the months after the current president took office, with his signing of the American Rescue Plan, another two trillion boondoggle, injecting yet more deficit-financed cash into an already overheated economy. Inflation didn't reach nine percent until the summer of 2022, over a year and a half after Biden was sworn in.

When you go into the voting booth, it’s easy to focus on the big races. Those high-profile contests at the federal and state level get the most coverage, and you can do your homework and learn about the candidates. If you have your ear to the ground or have decent local media, you can do the same with some local races. But every state has those down-ballot races that are often nonpartisan and don’t get much media coverage. It’s easy to ignore races like these when you don’t know anything about the candidates. Georgia has one of those races this year that is buried way down on next Tuesday’s ballot,

The report, released in September by the state's environmental regulator body, says that California may see the increase of 50 cents per gallon as early as next year and every year after that. The program's fee is in addition to the gas tax increases already put in place by Senate Bill 1 of 2017, where the state authorized an increase in the state's taxes on gas and diesel.

Who should be Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate? Though no one yet knows who it will be, many people seem to have an opinion about whom it should be. It’s a long list of possible names for the increasingly important vice presidential job, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. As part of our monthly national online poll, taken from May 1-3, we asked 538 Republicans, and those who lean that way, two questions about who they preferred as Trump’s vice president. The poll has a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points. First we asked a straightforward question: “Who is your top choice for Trump’s vice president?”

Joshua Cobb, 23, of Hamilton, mentioned two possible attack locations, a Jersey Strong gym and an Aldi grocery store in Robbinsville, and said he had access to guns and the will to kill a lot of people, authorities allege. Cobb also fantasized about the adrenaline rush and high he’d feel during such a shooting. “I’d probably OD on my own adrenaline after the 10th body goes down,” he allegedly wrote on social media in March of last year.
