Cloward-Piven and the Migrant Invasion

John Maynard Keynes, who should be burning in Hell for his shyster economic theories, is largely responsible for our current looming apocalypse. His theory basically is that only demand, made more real than just wishing for things by creating fiat money and credit, is important, since in his myopic, context-dropping theory, people produce a supply when there is a demand. (That they’d want the money they are paid to be valuable enough to buy someone else’s products he neglects to envision.) His theory was refuted by F.A. Hayek at the time. But politicians usually ignored the refutations, since they saw a way of expanding their power and budgets

They've already won. Assume 20 million illegals that need to go in the 40 months that Trump has left in office. That's 500,000 per month, non-stop. The ongoing lawfare is intended to push ICE activity to the right, so that "mass deportation" will never get of the ground.

Congress should make a law. Any person here illegally that registers or votes gets deported immediately. Dems would stop because they care NOTHING abt illegals unless they vote. They are bribing illegals to vote w OUR TAX $

This can only be accomplished using "incentivized" self-deportation, plus hard crackdowns on hiring of illegals nationally, enforced by Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserves by any and all companies, plus the termination of money wire-transfer services outside the USA for amounts less than $50k. Finally, all those illegals who remain will have a permanent ban on ever becoming American citizens, OR gain access to government payments & services, including the right to vote, until they are eventually caught and deported.

Actually, it was Jean Baptiste Say that originate the idea that supply creates its own demand, which it does in the context written by Say. As for Keynes, he did advise spending --- but this is the part politicians ignore. Keynes did not advise deficit spending at full employment, and thought a surplus should be ran at some point. Keynes did write a very famous article after WWI, advising that the peace settlement would only lead to war. Say was a great classical economist, maybe the last of the great from the country of France. As for Keynes, he was wrong about a lot, and the Austrian and Friedman schools of economics have surpassed Keynes, but Keynes is what is taught in the liberal schools. You will have to learn Austrian and Friedman economics by your own reading. Everything said in this article about Cloward Piven is true, and there is no innocence, so unnecessay to change any names.

Ackerman nails it. “A nation in which one administration can allow millions of unvetted illegal migrants into the country, but requires that a court vet each deportation decision in an individually adjudicated case will soon (collapse)." The lawfare is so obtuse that the judiciary simply becomes the strong arm of the bureaucracy. If the judiciary negates itself heaven help us. It is the thing that prevents us from settling disputes with violence.

Henry Hazlitt wrote Economic In One Lesson as a counter to Keynes. Keynes suggested spending money we don't have in order to spur the economy. Yes it does. For a moment. Even if that money spending produces pointless useless things no one needs. (in other words most of todays government) But he also mentions that at some point the spending has to stop and the borrowed money must be paid back. And he was right again. But the problem is no politician has ever stopped any spending program nor paid any borrowed money back. (Except maybe Newt Gingrich in the mid '90's. So they kicked him out of congress for it.) I recommend everyone reads Economic In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Even if you already believe all the points he makes it will bring them even more in focus. It starts out with the broken window fallacy. The Mississippi flood of 1993 caused much devastation. Al Gore(an obvious Keynes believer) said it would spur the economy by all the necessary rebuilding it was going to require and everyone was thus going to be better off. Hazlitt had just died a month of so before. National Review said that Gore's statement caused Hazlett to start spinning in his grave producing a roar akin to a 326 small block at 4,000 RPM.

We regret to inform you that another female cop may have just botched a case, and not just any case, a major one… Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old who’s accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, might walk free, not because he’s innocent, but because a female cop allegedly mishandled the search that led to critical evidence being used against him.

Dozens of glamorous bikini-wearing women were frantically rescued from a sinking Lamborghini yacht off the coast of Miami Beach. On Saturday afternoon, about 30 women jammed onto the luxurious vessel - made for just five passengers - for a boozy day in the sun during Formula One weekend. They flaunted their ritzy excursion online - posting videos of themselves popping champagne and dancing as they laid out on the boat. But chaos erupted when the $4.5million yacht started rapidly tipping over and sinking, quickly turning the flashy outing into a dire situation. Footage from the yacht, shared by passenger Lauren Nicole, showed orange life vests being passed around as the women
Trump Should Shut Down Wildlife Services
to Save Animals and Taxpayer Dollars

Wildlife Services, a program within the United States Department of Agriculture, made headlines recently—and not for a good reason. Federal workers employed by the program recently killed a Mexican gray wolf that was wearing a tracker collar and thought to be pregnant. Wildlife Services called killing the endangered animal a "mistake." However, this isn’t the first time the program has made such a mistake, and it’s far from the worst thing its employees have done to animals. If the Trump administration wants to save animals and taxpayer dollars (and there is early evidence to suggest he is concerned with both), shutting down Wildlife Services should be a priority.

To go armed or not to go armed? That is the question. Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows…OK, enough paraphrased Shakespeare. It’s common knowledge more and more Americans, including Democrats, are becoming first time gun owners. Federal background checks have numbered more than a million per month for more than five years. Since each check can encompass more than one gun, and they don’t account for private transactions, we can be sure Americans are buying more than a million guns every month. There are signs the pace of gun buying is slowing as one might expect with Donald Trump’s reelection. Americans not worried

Q. What’s the 2028 version of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? A. J.B. Pritzker and Stacey Abrams. Their campaign slogan is Make America Morbidly Obese Again. Pritzker has subtly, but very clearly called for political violence against Republicans. He deliberately timed this call for the first week of warm weather in the Chicago area. And there’s really no telling what will happen this weekend, or the rest of the summer, as a result. We have a president who was targeted by active shooters — not once, but twice. He was actually shot once. There have been many other credible threats against Donald Trump’s life, including a plot

Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger says that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the CIA and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) helped orchestrate President Trump’s 2019 impeachment. In an interview on Fox News, Shellenberger recounted how the impeachment case was brought about based on the word of a CIA analyst, left over from the Obama administration, who claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had pressured Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in a phone call, to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden. Shellenberger said that a memo written by that analyst, which served as the basis for Trump’s impeachment, relied heavily on a report done

News from Cambridge that they may have detected biochemical signatures on a relatively nearby exoplanet has altered the solution probabilities to the Fermi paradox. The New York Times writes that “a team of researchers is offering what it contends is the strongest indication yet of extraterrestrial life, not in our solar system but on a massive planet, known as K2-18b, that orbits a star 120 light-years from Earth. A repeated analysis of the exoplanet’s atmosphere suggests an abundance of a molecule that on Earth has only one known source: living organisms such as marine algae.” Of course, it may be a false alarm.

State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment. The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.

Joe Biden’s appearance at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday caused as a stir as the 82-year-old former president showed significant signs of physical deterioration, even requiring significant assistance just to navigate a short flight of stairs at the Vatican. In a telling moment that validates the concerns many of us had about his fitness for office, Biden was seen desperately clutching the arm of an elderly priest while also relying on his wife, Jill, for support. The scene would have been comical if it weren't so concerning—here was a man who, just last year, was insisting he could handle another four years as leader of the free world,

Another week where America turns its attention to a rotten judiciary which is fast erasing any respect we once had for it. As the prior outrageous injunctions by numbers of (judge shopped) District Courts make their way up the judicial ladder, even more of them were issued this week. I think everything the President has done is the object of at least one District Court injunction. In the meantime, corruption of the judiciary has become so overt that two judges were placed under arrest this week. The case that particularly caught my attention this week unsurprisingly is once again from the District of Columbia.

There was a time in the mid-1960s when two left-wing Columbia University professors — Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven — enjoyed a brief run of media celebrity by espousing a strategy for Democrats they believed could force the creation of an American welfare state based on a guaranteed annual income. In a widely read article in the era's liberal flagship publication, Nation Magazine, the professors laid out their strategy as applied to the welfare state to illustrate the road to achieving all of the American left's ultimate economic, political and social goals: "Widespread campaigns to register the eligible poor for welfare aid, and to help existing recipients obtain their full benefits,

If you had told me just a few years ago that Michelle Obama would be a presidential candidate, I'd have said she was the most formidable opponent the Democratic Party could put up.

TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel approved plans Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and to stay in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, a move that, if implemented, would vastly expand Israel’s operations there and likely draw fierce international opposition. Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The new plan, which the officials said was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza, also calls for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians

ATLANTA — The billionaire heir and the former bartender. Many Democrats have been in and out of the spotlight as the party looks for effective counters to President Donald Trump and his second administration. But two disparate figures, Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, have seen their national profiles rise by delivering messages that excite a demoralized and fractured party.

On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the launch of a program that will provide illegal aliens with a $1,000 stipend after they have proven to federal officials that they self-deported from the United States using the CBP Home mobile app. Similar self-deportation programs, Breitbart News reported, have been adopted by European countries such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden with much success in cutting illegal immigration.

common talking point trotted out to defend congressional Republicans’ failure to advance conservative priorities is that the party has slim majorities, and therefore, trying to pass anything outside of the usual “uniparty” slop is next to impossible. But if that’s true, why does the same dynamic exist in states where Republicans have much larger legislative majorities and control the governor’s mansion? On Wednesday, the GOP-controlled Texas House — which is run by liberal Republican Speaker Dustin Burrows — passed a bill that effectively seeks to criminalize the posting and distribution of certain altered media in political advertising.
