Democrat Publicity Stunt to Support Illegal Aliens

Posted on by

Democrats must think their support for illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens resonates with voters. They have been making a pageant of it, even going on taxpayer-funded junkets to El Salvador to fawn over a deported gangbanger. In New Jersey yesterday, they drew attention to it with an Al Sharpton style publicity stunt:

The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, was arrested Friday at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility where three members of Congress also stormed the facility’s gate, demanding they be allowed to conduct an “oversight visit.”

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a top Democratic gubernatorial candidate, was arrested at the scene for trespassing, before being released hours later.

Those detained at the facility include alleged murderers, MS-13 gang members, and child rapists.

Appallingly yet unsurprisingly, Baraka has the support of other Democrats:

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, said he was “outraged by the unjust arrest.” He noted that he had signed a law four years ago that banned private immigration detention centers in the state. …

Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called Baraka a friend who encouraged him to fight for change in his community.

This begs a question that chills the blood: Change into what?

More Democrats on display:

Earlier in the day, U.S. Reps. Rob Menendez Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver, all New Jersey Democrats, entered ICE’s Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark and were held up inside the first checkpoint…

The three lawmakers were outside the facility with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. The lawmakers then rushed through the gates and past security, DHS said.

If the name Menendez sounds familiar in the context of New Jersey politics, you are probably thinking of Rob’s father Bob, who was finally sentenced to 11 years for bribery after a career in corruption on a par with Joe Biden’s.

“We know what ICE has been doing in our communities. We know that the president lied and that this administration lies every day when they’re saying they’re going after criminals. It’s not true,” Menendez said through tears.

It would appear that Democrats have hit absolute bottom. Yet experience suggests they will somehow find a way to make regular Americans despise them even more.

Rob Menendez says enforcing immigration law is unacceptable.

African Development Foundation Sums Up Swamp

Posted on by

Jamie Raskin isn’t the only Swamp creature with good reason to oppose DOGE:

Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, refused to grant DOGE access to its books and told the White House that the agency would not acknowledge President Donald Trump’s appointee as chairman of the board. After a dramatic showdown in March, DOGE physically took over the building with U.S. Marshals, but control of the agency is now the subject of a lawsuit objecting to “swooping in with DOGE staff, demanding access to sensitive information systems” — an objection that reads differently in light of the criminal probe.

For years, workers at the small, USAID-adjacent federal agency focused on Africa have told oversight bodies about allegations of self-dealing, procurement violations, and mysterious offshore bank accounts, many of them involving Zahui.

Suspicious grants to companies in Africa corresponded with wire payments to Zahui’s bank account.

It isn’t just Zahui. The African Development Foundation doesn’t want anyone poking around because the agency amounts to a crime scene:

By law, the agency is only allowed to give grants to Africa-based groups. But it moved money through African entities and then back to the United States to pad salaries of D.C. bureaucrats and pay their friends and former employers, employees said.

Americans being forced by their government to hand their money over to Africa-based groups is another crime that needs to end.

Even by DC standards, hatred of America’s core population has been rife at the African Development Foundation:

From 2021 until February, the agency was led by CEO Travis Adkins, who came to it after a short stint at USAID as a Joe Biden political appointee.

Adkins’ former assistant, who is black, said in a sworn affidavit that “On at least three occasions, Mr. Adkins told me that he wanted his entire team (to include the General Counsel) to consist only of Black people. He wanted all of his direct reports to be Black.”

The assistant said Adkins would not hire whites or veterans.

Adkins bragged about concealing operations from the board, saying “them white motherf—ers, they don’t need to know… I don’t think I should tell them sh–,” according to the assistant.

The federal behemoth developed by Democrats is an abomination hostile to most Americans and must be flushed clean.

Tin Cup Rattles for Woke Donors

Posted on by

Black Lives Matter is a spent force, its perniciousness having become beyond obvious. Virtue-signaling liberals who donated to it and no longer know what to do with their excess money are apprised that Stephanie Todd has his hand out:

Todd has chronic pain from a myriad of physical disabilities and illnesses that make it difficult to walk or work full time. …

Compounding [his] health complications, Todd is also a transgender woman living in Idaho who relies on Medicaid in a state that has banned public funds from covering gender affirming care. It means Todd asks on Bluesky for donations via Venmo to cover [his] daily expenses and to raise money for [his] medical transition.

Sounds like this guy has enough health problems without undergoing a sex change.

[P]rocedures that Todd is seeking, from bottom surgery and breast augmentation to laser hair removal, are not cheap and can cost, on average, tens of thousands of dollars without health insurance coverage, per a study published in the Journal of Law, Medicine, & Ethics.

Donors have the opportunity to express their displeasure with Idaho for not forcing other people to finance these sick procedures, making Stephanie Todd a cause moonbats can believe in.

Effect of Black Lives Matter on Murder Rate

Posted on by

Even more obvious than the effect an “inflation refund” will have on inflation is the effect Black Lives Matter — which was aggressively promoted by the liberal establishment — would have on the murder rate:

According to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, a police group that tracks crime levels, murders rose 44% from 2019 to 2021 across 70 of America’s largest cities.

Finally BLM mania passed:

But then something happened – big city murders fell dramatically from their peak from over 9,600 in 2021 to 6,900 in 2024 – a 39% decline.

It’s called the Ferguson Effect. When liberals hamstring law enforcement in the name of Critical Race Theory, murderers run riot.

That more policing would cut crime is not only commonsense, it is borne out by numerous academic studies showing proactive policing reduces violent crime.

But it has disparate impact, so liberals don’t like it. Never mind that letting crime flourish also has a disparate impact regarding those victimized.

Post-George Floyd de-policing – when demoralized, debilitated, and depleted police forces step back from aggressive anti-crime activities fearing political, professional, or personal consequences for doing their jobs – exacerbated the growing violent and serious crime problem.

Derek Chauvin could tell you all about these consequences.

Emboldened criminals stepped into the vacuum and mayhem ensued.

The violence was a fit tribute to the patron saint of modern liberalism, career criminal George Floyd.

By 2021, the CDC recorded over 26,000 homicides nationwide – 7,000 “excess” killings compared to 2019 levels…

Liberals who signaled their warped notion of virtue by donating money in reaction to the BLM riots have blood on their hands.

Woke Priorities of Nova Scotia Police

Two autistic children, Lily and Jack Sullivan, aged 6 and 4 years, have gone missing in Nova Scotia and are presumed dead. Here the legendary Royal Canadian Mounted Police brings us up to date on the investigation — seriously, this is how the briefing starts:

After they are finished implying that their own country does not to deserve to exist and kneeling in obeisance to Africans, maybe they will have time to look for the missing children.

New York Feeds Inflation With “Inflation Refund”

Posted on by

If you intended to drive up inflation, what would you do differently than print and waste $zillions on useless green energy boondoggles as in the Inflation Reduction Act? Maybe you would give people free money as an “inflation refund”:

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers have reached a tentative agreement to issue so-called “inflation refund” checks to millions of residents, offering direct payments of up to $400 later this year as part of the state’s $254 billion budget plan. …

The measure is being framed as a way to help residents cope with the continued effects of inflation and the high cost of living across the state.

Too bad they can’t convert irony into cash. Inflation and the high cost of living are largely driven by excessive government spending.

If New York could print its own currency, by now it would be carried in bushel baskets like in the Weimar Republic.

Eligible recipients will not need to take any action to receive the payment.

Of course not. Requiring effort produces disparate impact.

Those with smaller income get a bigger handout. Democrats never miss an opportunity to redistribute wealth.

Stupidity can only explain so much, even with Kathy Hochul & Co. At best, Democrats are too irresponsible to care about the economic consequences of buying votes with other people’s money. At worst, they undermine the economy on purpose in accordance with Vladimir Lenin’s principle “The worse, the better.”
