LOL: Sanctuary State Of Massachusetts Declares State Of Emergency

By William Teach August 9, 2023 – 6:45 am

Border states, and border cities, have been dealing with way, way, way worse than Massachusetts. Unfortunately, the illegal immigration supporting Democrats in places like Mass, NYC, and so forth just aren’t getting what the answer is

Massachusetts governor declares state of emergency amid influx of migrants seeking shelter

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency Tuesday, citing an influx of migrants seeking shelter at a time when the cost of housing — already in short supply — continues to rise.

There are nearly 5,600 families or more than 20,000 people – many of whom are migrants — currently living in state shelters, including infants, young children and pregnant women. That is up from around 3,100 families a year ago, about an 80% increase, Healey said.

Many of the migrants are arriving by plane from other states. In the past 48 hours alone, she said, 50 migrant families have landed in the state in need of shelter.

“It’s exponentially more than our state has ever served in our emergency assistance program,” she said. “These numbers are being driven by a surge in new arrivals in our country who have been through some of the hardest journeys imaginable.”

Anyone feel bad for them? Seriously, this is what they were asking for by supporting unfettered illegal immigration, they just didn’t think they would have to pay for it or deal with the fallout. They were fine with Texas, Arizona, Florida, and other states dealing with it

She called on the federal government for financial help, and more urgently, expedited work authorizations to allow the new arrivals to more quickly find jobs and start earning a living, she wrote in a letter to U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

In the letter, Healey pointed to work authorizations as a primary driver of the crisis. Currently, she said, it can take weeks, months or more than a year to receive the authorizations.

Um, if you give expedited work authorizations it will simply drive more to trek to the U.S., either crossing the border illegally or showing up and demanding asylum. It helps drive the problem, helps make the problem worse.

As part of the emergency declaration, Healey said she is renewing a call to local organizations that can assist those seeking shelter as well as to people interested in sponsoring a family in their home.

The state has also launched a new migrant relief fund to help raise money to aid migrants.

The contributions will be used to help pay for a range of goods and services for migrants, including food, clothing, diapers and transportation as well as health screenings, translation services, legal assistance and English classes.

Come on, Mass. Democrats, step up and donate. Heck, how about offering to put up a bunch of illegals, who are probably mostly young males, not women and children. The Governor is asking you to house them at your casa.

Healey and state lawmakers should rescind the state’s right-to-shelter policy, said Paul Diego Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, a conservative group.

“Perhaps it is time for the governor to take a trip to the southern border to see firsthand the open southern border crisis,” he said in a statement.

It must be difficult for the governors of Texas and Florida to figure out where to send illegals, there are so many great choices to deal with the consequences of their beliefs.

Brandon To Designate Grand Canyon Zone As National Monument

By William Teach August 8, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Can you guess why? Yeah, the climate scam. And to do this he took a helicopter flight to Andrews, jump on a jumbo jet, followed by a backup jumbo jet and a few fighter jets, then take a large fossil fueled vehicle in a large fossil fueled convoy. This is after taking all that fossil fueled travel from Delaware to D.C. Monday

Biden to designate Grand Canyon national monument in climate change push blocking future uranium mining

President Biden is to announce a historic national park designation for the Grand Canyon Tuesday as part of a $44 million commitment “to strengthen climate resilience across our national park system.”

The move effectively blocks future mining of uranium, the key element used to power nuclear reactors and for other medical, industrial and defense purposes.

A White House official said the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument in Arizona – will conserve nearly 1 million acres of greater Grand Canyon landscape sacred to Tribal Nations and Indigenous peoples and advance “Biden’s historic climate and conservation agenda.”

He’s using Native Americans like some people use their kids to get better seats on airplanes. All that fossil fueled travel from Biden isn’t doing much to “protect the environment”, eh?

And it will continue the moratorium on uranium mining, and make it even more difficult

Yet, a U.S. Geological Survey in 2021 found most springs and wells in a vast region of northern Arizona known for its high-grade uranium ore meet federal drinking water standards despite decades of uranium mining. Mining companies and the areas that would benefit from their business remain vehemently opposed to the national monument designation.

The best energy supply available if they want to get rid of fossil fuels, but, most Warmists are against it.

If you’re wonder why Biden had to make this trip, when he could have made the designation while in D.C.? Heck, from his Delaware beach house?

  • 625PM: The President arrives in Albuquerque, New Mexico
  • 8pm: The President participates in a campaign reception

    It’s so he doesn’t have to pay for what was really a campaign trip.

GOP Gets Squishy On Impeaching Mayorkas

By William Teach August 8, 2023 – 10:30 am

I was never quite clear why he was the target in the first place, since he was essentially doing the bidding of Brandon and his advisors

The impeachment effort losing steam in the House GOP

House Republicans once regarded Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as their easiest impeachment target. Yet even that seems increasingly out of reach.

Centrist Republicans were never quite sold on impeaching the secretary over problems at the border, nor aligned with their colleagues’ belief that Mayorkas lied to lawmakers at a committee hearing. Now, some of the most vocal Republicans pushing to remove him are acknowledging they’re finding GOP skeptics virtually immovable.

Even Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who thrilled conservatives last year when he opened the door to impeachment proceedings, is signaling he’s still not convinced.

“The only time you use impeachment is if someone has done something that rises to impeachment,” McCarthy told POLITICO, noting that committees are still investigating Mayorkas.

Mayorkas did lie under oath. The smarter move would have been to find him in contempt of Congress, because, really, if you impeach Mayorkas, the Democrat run Senate would not vote against hum, and he’d stay in the job. And, even if they did vote to boot Mayorkas, Biden would just replace him with someone exactly the same.

But other House Republicans acknowledge that, anecdotally, they aren’t hearing as much about the idea of impeaching Mayorkas from their colleagues. And Roy, though he insisted they’ve made progress, admitted the votes just might not exist in the narrow House majority.

The thing here is, if you have such a huge problem with impeaching Mayorkas from the squishes for something easy, how will that work with Biden? It’s clear as day that Biden is corrupt, that he used his position to get money for himself and his family, that there was bribery and extortion involved, and so much more. If the situation was reversed, Democrats would have already started impeachment hearings. Heck, they might have already held the impeachment vote and sent it to the Senate. Maybe twice. There might have been two to four who voted against, but, the rest would have been in lockstep.

Cult Wackjob Says People Are A Cancer On The Planet

By William Teach August 8, 2023 – 7:15 am

Michael “robust debate and then I block everyone” Mann and many other Warmists have decried the doomism inherent in the climate cult movement, saying it does not help. Most other climate cultists do not care, and always want to ramp it up

Are humans a cancer on the planet? A physician argues that civilization is truly carcinogenic

Humans have existed on this planet for a relatively short time, yet we’ve had a major impact on it, dramatically altering its biodiversity and shifting its global climate in only a few centuries. The burning of fossil fuels has cooked the globe so much that ecosystems are threatening to fall completely out of balance, which could accelerate the ongoing mass extinctions caused by our predilection for exploiting nature.

There’s a very distinct possibility we could trigger our own extinction or, at the very least, greatly reduce our population while completely altering the way we currently live. Little things like going outside during daylight hours or growing food in the dirt could become relics of the past, along with birds, insects, whales and many other species. War, famine, pestilence and death — that dreaded equine quartet — threaten to topple our dominance on this planet. We are destroying our own home, sawing off the very branch we rest on. (snip)

Dr. Warren Hern, a Colorado-based physician and author of the new book “Homo Ecophagus: A Deep Diagnosis to Save the Earth,” argues that human civilization indeed has many similarities with cancer. This isn’t a metaphor, but rather a literal diagnosis — and it can be addressed in the same way that an actual cancer diagnosis can be the first step to treatment.

Salon recently spoke with Hern about his new book, which acts partially as a memoir, textbook, dire diagnosis and poetic ode to a disintegrating planet, discussing the implications for such an urgent prognosis, a new name for the human species that reflects our true nature and how we can still fix this crisis.

It’s a long, crazy interview, but, what else would you expect from the climate cult, which always seems to need to escalate the Crazy?

Consider Miley Cyrus. Her act and actions constantly escalated the crazy. More and more nutty stuff. Eventually it gets to a point where it just cannot get worse. What happened to her? You do not really hear much about her anymore. Some like Brittany Spears and Lady Gaga did the same, but, finally hit a point where something snapped. They finally changed, and are still doing things in the limelight without being Crazy. The climate cult, though, is all about scaring people into giving up their money and freedom, to their own detriment. Where does it stop?

Trans activists and eco-zealots are merging into one united front of absurdity

As if it were not galling enough to see the men’s world championship road race halted by protesters gluing themselves to a Scottish country lane, there was the added torment of listening to one protagonist’s harebrained explanation for this moronic act. “As a trans woman, I’ve been told I’m not welcome on the cycling track by the UCI,” said Rebecca Kerr. “At the same time, they allow a petrochemical company to field a team, showing they have no real care for people. I take to the track to point out this hypocrisy and take a stand for a better future.” (snip)

All that this stunt has achieved, by conflating the rhetoric of Just Stop Oil and Trans Women Are Women, is to make public hostility towards such actions even more implacable. Besides putting cyclists in danger, the protestors on that rural road in the Carron Valley did not even attract the publicity they craved. The only footage was of the riders and support vehicles coming to a halt, with an announcement on commentary: “We’ve got some kind of blockage.” The sight of the five people affixed to the road surface was never shown. So what purpose, if the power of the protest lay in its visual impact, were they fulfilling?

The crazy never ends.

Legal Immigrants In SCNY Are Not Happy With Plan To Put Illegals Up In Parks

By William Teach August 8, 2023 – 7:00 am

How would you feel if you went through the whole proper, legal process for immigration and the government hooked up a bunch of people who did it wrong? Some in the Sanctuary City Of New York are not happy

Legal Immigrants Protest Migrant Camp at Brooklyn Park: ‘This is Not Fair’

Legal immigrants, particularly Chinese Americans, are protesting New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) moving a number of single adult male migrants into their neighborhood park in Brooklyn.

As Breitbart News reported, Adams has started housing border crossers and illegal aliens at a recreation center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Over the weekend, legal immigrants living in Sunset Park protested Adams’ office turning their neighborhood recreation center into a migrant camp that is now housing men from Colombia, Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela who were released into the U.S. at the southern border.

“As first-generation immigrants, we understand that everybody comes here to go for a better life but this is not fair for the taxpayers of New York City,” Ying Tan, a Republican running for the 43rd City Council district, told Gothamist.

Many people spend a lot of money and time to come to the US legally, especially if they want to earn citizenship. They can’t break the law, they have to show they can take care of themselves and won’t be on government benefits systems, they must learn English, and so much more. Illegals simply show up and demand the world.

I wonder, though, how many of these legal immigrants voted Democrat? And are now getting what they voted for.

Meanwhile, Reuters is not happy with Brandon

Biden vowed to reform immigration detention. Instead, private prisons benefited

As a presidential candidate in 2020, Joe Biden pledged to end for-profit immigration detention, saying: “No business should profit from the suffering of desperate people fleeing violence.”

The opportunity for action came early in the Democratic president’s term, in May 2021, when a group of senior immigration officials launched an internal review of detention centers to decide which should be scaled back, reformed or closed. (snip)

But, as illegal crossings reached record highs at the U.S.-Mexico border – putting pressure on Biden officials to keep detention space available – they only announced the closure of one facility in March 2022 (12 had been recommended to be closed).

The stalled reform coincided with a boom in private prison revenues from ICE contracts during the Biden administration and an increase in the percentage of detainees being held in private facilities, according to an analysis of ICE data by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) shared exclusively with Reuters.

Seriously, where will all the illegals go? Send them to Democratic Party run cities. Including D.C. And how about near Joe’s beach house?

Democratic Party Run Cities In A Nutshell

Another great line: “I don’t fee safe ever.” But, the same leftists will vote for the same hardcore leftist politicians and policies, and are fine until those policies hit their own lives. But, will end up voting the same way when the next elections come around.

Reuters Trying To Force European Citizens To Get A Heat Pump

By William Teach August 7, 2023 – 1:00 pm

First, if heat pumps are so great than why isn’t government using them? Second, why doesn’t screed writer Pamela Barbaglia tell us about the one she bought for her own home? Third, this is not news. This is a cult attempting to force people to comply with their beliefs. It’s advocacy. And, heck, maybe an advertisement for a product. It’s not news. But, what really caught my attention is

Sweaty Europe can kill two birds with one pump

Europe’s sweltering summer has focused attention on its building stock. Responding to the continent’s 40 degree Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) temperatures means cutting carbon emissions from gas heaters, while rolling out ways to efficiently cool residences and offices amid an “era of global boiling”. What may be less immediately obvious is that heat pumps are the best way to do both.

The marching orders went out to yammer about the era of global boiling.

Continuing to burn gas in winter and use inefficient air-conditioning units in summer is unsustainable. The former helps explain why heating and powering buildings account for 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, according to the International Energy Agency, or about a quarter of the global total. The electricity required to cool a more populous planet by 2050 during increasingly hot summers, meanwhile, could nearly triple to 5,800 terawatt-hours, the IEA reckons. That’s double current demand in the entire European Union, at a time when power demands from electric vehicles are already set to soar.

I could probably get into the facts and figures on heat pumps again, or, I could just write “mind your own f’ing business.” Heat pumps have also been said to be worse for heating a home than a gas boiler. They’ve been deemed bad for ‘climate change’. Heat pumps will not last as long as separate AC and heating units, because they will be constantly working. A heat pump would be fine if you only use it for one or the other. Meh, let’s just just “mind your own f’ing business.”

Surprise: Florida’s Everify System Causing Wage Increases

By William Teach August 7, 2023 – 10:30 am

Foes of illegal immigration have long noted that the presence of illegal aliens in the U.S. deflates wages. The NY Times now confirms this…as the Times attempts to slam Florida and Ron DeSantis

New Florida Immigration Rules Start to Strain Some Businesses

Americans before illegalsAfter signing into law a raft of new measures aimed at undocumented immigrants in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the legislation gave the state “the most ambitious anti-illegal immigration laws in the country.”

It would, he said, keep Florida taxpayers from “footing the bill for illegal immigration.”

Critics of the law warned that it would come with a price of its own, and a costly one for a state that relies on hundreds of thousands of undocumented workers in agriculture, construction and hospitality.

Under the new law, which went into effect on July 1, hospitals are required to ask patients their immigration status and document the costs of caring for such patients. Many more employers are now required to use an electronic database to identify hires illegally in the country, or face fines. And undocumented immigrants can no longer be sure that drivers’ licenses from every other state will be considered valid in Florida.

So far, the state hasn’t undertaken any sort of sweeping crackdown, and it isn’t clear how aggressively the new law will be enforced. But its effects have begun to ripple through the state, stirring fear in some immigrant communities and frustration among some business owners.

Obviously, the entirety of the article is meant to be “this is so horrible, why did Ron DeSantis single-handedly implement all these restricts on illegal aliens!!!!!” Even this is meant to be a slap at Ron

Tim Conlan, president of Reliant, a roofing company in Jacksonville, said a subcontractor had recently turned down a project after his workers refused to travel to Florida, preferring to stay in Georgia and the Carolinas. He also said that hourly rates for jobs had increased about 10 percent since the bill was signed into law in May.

That’s because they have to hire Americans and people legally in the U.S. who are authorized to work, not illegal aliens. This will mostly effect the blue-collar industries and small shops who would otherwise hire illegals.

Meanwhile

40-mile walk for immigration reform and migrant rights to focus on residency status in Bay Area-wide event

Immigration reform and migrant rights advocates are planning to walk more than 40 miles from the North and South Bay to San Francisco beginning this weekend to demand congressional action on a pathway to permanent residency for millions of migrants stuck in legal limbo nationwide.

Dozens of immigrant rights organizations in the Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California are gearing up for the “All In for Registry” walk starting Saturday at 8 a.m. in Petaluma and San Jose. Participants will walk more than 40 miles over the weekend to meet at the Federal Building in San Francisco on Monday.

The walk aims to press Congress to pass H.R. 1511, also known as the “Registry Bill,” which would allow approximately 8 million undocumented people currently living in the U.S. to apply for legal permanent residency.

Sounds like a great place for Texas governor Greg Abbott to ship a couple hundred illegals. Of course, consider the vast numbers of homeless in San Francisco and the current high levels of crime, would they even notice?
