Massachusetts Offers Insight Into Purpose of Shutdown

What is the point of the Schumer Shutdown? Howie Carr offers clues from Democrat-ruled Massachusetts:

Gov. Maura Healey has squandered $3.5 billion (and counting) on providing hordes of illegal aliens from the Third World with lavish, all-expenses-paid lifetime vacations on the taxpayers’ dime.

Yet now she says American citizens may have to go without food stamps next month because she can’t come up with $240 million.

The people most hurt by Democrats’ absurdly unreasonable shutdown comprise their own base:

The Democrats have taken hostages — unpaid government employees and, in the case of food stamps, the non-working classes. Food stamps go mostly to people who don’t work — in other words, the core constituency of the Democrat party. …

In some red states, the governors are stepping up with funds to make up for the Democrat-induced EBT shortfalls. We’ll have none of that here in Massachusetts, in this one-party state.

The pain is not only avoidable but deliberate.

Every afternoon on my radio show, I play Tik Tok audio from all the gimme girls and guys threatening all sorts of mayhem on working people if they lose their food stamps. They’re going to loot, rob, mug taxpayers at the ATM, carjack them and come to their houses at Thanksgiving demanding steak and lobster…

The gimme girls and guys were bred in their teaming millions by the Welfare State the way a factory farm would breed chickens. The time is coming for them to be deployed.

Top Democrat donor George Soros has spent many $millions driving up the rate of violent crime by installing pro-criminal district attorneys throughout the country. The liberal establishment went out of its way to encourage the hundreds of Black Lives Matter riots. The purpose was the same as with the shutdown: to utilize their lowlife base to destabilize American society so as to create a situation that would allow radicals secure power.

Liberal Explains Why She Doesn’t Like Ballroom

Trump is making overdue improvements to the remote East Wing of the White House, so that events do not have to be held in makeshift tents as in the past. Democrats strongly oppose this. So that we can understand their objections, let’s listen as a liberal makes her case against the privately funded new ballroom.

LANGUAGE WARNING:

They don’t like the ballroom because Trump is building it, and Trump represents the rejection of their rule.

Los Angeles Named Most Rat-Infested City in USA

The City of Angels? More like the City of Rats.

From the Yelp Infestation Index:

Los Angeles earned the unenviable title of America’s #1 rodent hotspot, with more Yelp searches for rodent services than any other city.

Taking #2 in the rodent rankings is San FranciscoNew York City lands at #3, which is hardly surprising…

No, it sure isn’t.

These findings help explain how vermin get elected to rule over jurisdictions like Los Angeles, where the mayor is an actual communist, and San Francisco, where Gavin Newsom and Willie Brown have been mayor. Democrats must be registering rats to vote. The strategy should work well for Islamocommunist Zohran Mamdani, who has been endorsed for mayor of New York by rats like Hakeem Jeffries and Kathy Hochul.

If rats are more prevalent where ultraleft politics prevail, it could be because they thrive on filth and decay, both of which are inevitable products of moonbattery.

Wrist Slap, No Deportation for African Who Raped Swedish Child

The moonbats presiding over the death of Europe go to absurd lengths to side with imported Africans against the women and children they rape. The case of an Eritrean refugee convicted of raping 16-year-old Meya Åberg in Sweden is typical:

Yazied Mohamed allegedly sexually assaulted the teenager on Sept. 1, 2024, while she was walking home from her shift at McDonald’s after missing the bus, according to La Derecha Diario.

For this contribution to Sweden’s multicultural tapestry, the colonist received the customary wrist slap.

Mohamed was sentenced to three years in prison, but the Alto Norrland Court of Appeals reportedly ruled the rape “did not last long enough” to be classified as an “exceptionally serious crime,” so it did not necessitate deportation.

Nothing exceptionally serious about raping children if migrants do it. Just ask the UN:

The court was referring to a United Nations (UN) 1951 rule on the status of refugees, which states that Mohamed and other refugees have their status protected except in extreme cases. The court ruled there was no current threat to public order, and Mohamed will stay in Sweden following his sentence…

If Mohamed were to receive the sentence he has coming, there would be nothing to deport but his ashes.

Europe has seen a steady flow of similar stories, where some migrants receive minor punishments after sexually assaulting women and girls.

A 2018 report from a Swedish public broadcaster found that 58% of all rapes or attempted rapes in Sweden were committed by foreigners.

What a society tolerates, a society deserves. But Meya Åberg doesn’t deserve it.

Jailed in Switzerland for Disputing That Skeletons Are Nonbinary

After the groomers infesting public schools have been at them, children might not know whether they are boys or girls. Yet archeologists centuries in the future will be able to find out by examining their bones, because biological facts are impervious to moonbat ideology — although freedom of speech is not, as Emanuel Brünisholz of Switzerland found out the hard way:

Brünisholz is reportedly about to start a 10-day prison stint due to his voicing skepticism about claims that skeletons are transgender.

Liberals probably believe skeletons can be polysexual too — a scary thought right before Halloween.

In 2022, he responded to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner on the controversy. …

The wind-instrument repairman thought that such claims were unfounded and posted a comment that said, “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”

For this factual observation, Brünisholz was charged with “hate speech” and “public belittling” offending legally favored sexual deviants.

He was convicted and fined 500 Swiss Francs.

Brünisholz commendably refused to pay on principle, so he will serve time as a political prisoner in a supposedly free country.

Portland Police With F*** Trump Flag

Occasionally Portland police have to make a show of arresting Antifa terrorists, so that they can receive token wrist slaps before being set loose again at the public’s throat. But this cop raising a “F*** Trump” flag may indicate which side the Portland Police Bureau is on in the steadily warming Cold Civil War:

Looks as if they are posing for photos with this F*** ICE flag:

When the police side with militant kooks against everyone else, things get scary quickly. For details, refer to Russia under Bolsheviks and Germany under Nazis.

Profiles in Gerontocracy: Eleanor Holmes Norton

How senile can moonbats get before even other Democrats acknowledge they are unfit to rule over us? Joe Biden gave us an idea. So does DC’s congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton:

Norton, 88, was duped by multiple suspects Thursday who went to her Washington, DC, home claiming to be HVAC workers, according to an internal police report obtained by NBC News4.

The swindlers charged $4,362 to the Democratic congresswoman’s credit card without performing any work.

If that’s how easily she is parted from her own money, imagine how easily she would be parted from ours.

Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney was not at residence” at the time the group showed up, which was just after 3:30 p.m., the report states, noting that it was Norton’s “caretaker” who called DC police after noticing the unscheduled arrival at the congresswoman’s home.

You can see why she needs a caretaker. According to the police report, the 88-year-old Democrat suffers from dementia.

The congresswoman is described as being “unable to function independently,” leaning on aides, close friends and family members for help, the [New York Times] reported, noting that she rarely attends House Oversight Committee meetings and appears at times not to recognize people she has known for years.

And yet:

Norton (D-DC) told Axios last month that she has no plans to leave Congress despite the mounting concerns about her mental acuity.

“Of course,” she responded, when asked if she was running for re-election.

Anyone doubt she will win in DC?

Good thing she can’t vote on the final passage of bills. Unfortunately, the moment Democrats have the leverage to push it through, they will make the District of Columbia a state, as supported by Joe Biden. Eleanor Holmes Norton will become a regular congressmember, and two more of similar quality will be senators.
