So Biden Administration is flying illegals into the USA wherever they want to go….
but not in First Class?!!!
How ironic it would be if one or two of terrorists he is letting got him.

Lol.
Today Joe was meeting with the Hispanic caucus and he addressed them as the Black caucus. Why isn’t he removed from office? This is no longer amusing.
kammie….
How is that different from DeSantis or Abbott bussing them?
They are not afraid to admit what they are doing or why … Biden is.
DeSantis and Abbott are red states.. they are not sanctuary states,, they just sent the illegals to the states where they are wanted.
@Tammy, you are spot on. Thank you for informing the Dems. They would have never figured it out without your help.
Don’t you just love it when the government does things in secret? (with your tax money).

Did you JUST learn that there are other ways to get into the US besides walking across the Southern Border?
HINT: more drugs come through all other points of entry then our Southern Border. Can you list what those ways are?
Nah, we’ve known about Biden’s midnight express for a while now, but this is different, those flights were for border hoppers already here but now Joe is booking them to fly in illegally direct from beyond our borders and he was keeping it a secret.
You can do your drug smuggler quiz if you want, but that isn’t what this story is about.

Article IV of the Constitution says it is the responsibility of the federal government to protect the states against invasion. Every day I wonder why Biden is not in handcuffs in federal prison since he is the chief administrative officer.
Original G, the article contradicts itself. How do you break records of border crossing if the people “tried” to cross? Tried implies a failed attempt. The article continues to highlight the horrors while saying, “Last month 304,162 were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol, exceeding the previous record of 302,412 in December.”
I’m sure people will have clever, and misspelled retorts about my screen name, my sobriety, and other ad hominem fallacious arguments in place of an actual rebuttal. And math is not my best subject, but to apprehend 4,162 more people then the headline implies TRIED to cross would suggest that the authorities are doing their job.
Giving them ID cards is the smart thing to do. Having IDs is a way to track them and have them begin the process of paying taxes. You know, the responsible thing to do.
Per your 2nd article, are you trying to tell me that people who are earning money through delivery apps, which makes it “over the table” by the way and makes them taxpayers, are then sending their kids to local schools? One of the things funded by their tax revenue?!
Do you not have a problem with the capitalists paying them to work? Do you think that Biden should craft legislation to curtail that? Or would you call that government overreach with job killing regulations?
The Daily Mail excels at pearl clutching and can be debunked with it’s own words.
And To Do List, Biden is not in handcuffs because allowing registered people to work, support themselves, and take advantage of resources they are contributing to is what people are supposed to do. So, keep wondering while the companies paying the migrants who will work for these gig jobs rake it in and skirt by on the same tax rates Trump introduced. If you think our current inflation rates are solely from Biden, you know less about economics then I do. Good luck with that.
Agree about companies hiring illegals and some of those companies likely are large swamp creature campaign contributors. Given increased volume of border crossers highly doubt there is health screening going on before illegals fan out across America. If border were sealed ? ? ? ?

“With over 600 street releases daily, the strain on our local infrastructure and services is becoming increasingly untenable.

Over 5,000 individuals have been “street-released,” dropped at transit stations, over the last 10 days. The numbers show no sign of slowing down.

DANGED INEFFECTUAL,

Those tax rates you dislike, that were signed into law by President Trump, are still in place because 2-years of a Democrat controlled House, Democrat controlled Senate, and a Democrat controlled White House left those tax rates in place. You really should’ve worded it as “skirt by on the same tax rates Biden left in place,” rather than “skirt by on the same tax rates Trump introduced.”
@DANGED INEFFECTUAL….I think a GPS tracking chip injected in the neck that explodes if the illegals don’t check in on schedule will work better. Like Snake Plissken in “Escape from LA”.
Old Joe has lost it, telling the same BS story twice during his speech. Joe stick to the teleprompter speech writen by your handlers.

Have you forgotten that the conviction of the late former Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was reversed because FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors conspired to conceal evidence that would’ve exonerated him?
My point is still the same, no party is completely pure, they all have their black sheep.
HANNE JEPPESEN,
.
What I got from your second post isn’t what I got from your first post.
.
The fact is the American people have allowed their elected representatives to create so many laws, federal laws, state laws, county laws, and city laws that the government can get everyone on something, whether one is guilty or not. Look at what US Attorneys, State Attorney Generals, and District Attorneys do, they overcharge in cases in order to force individuals into plea deals, in many cases they do this to get their conviction rates up for no other reason than to help them with their future political aspirations. That’s corruption among prosecutors themselves.
Some just get away with more crap than others due to their political affiliation.
Remember this isn’t the first time Menendez has been caught, and the timing is really bad since graft, fraud & bribery are in the spotlight now.
Do you really want to add up the number of Democrats that committed offenses but never even got charged?
Republicans blame a weaponization of the DOJ.
Democrats tell Menendez to resign. See the difference?
Remember George Santos? The GOP said stick around. In fact run again.
DOH,

Plenty of Republicans have told Congressman George Santos to resign. It doesn’t matter if Santos runs for the Republican nomination again because he’ll lose the primary. Senator Bob Menendez is also running for reelection.
Remember Richard Nixon?

Democrats don’t need to tell Bob Menendez to resign, they could’ve expelled him from the Senate.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson explains that he is leaving the Democratic Party because “the future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism.”
.
“Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP,” Johnson wrote.
.
“In other words, American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities,” he continued. “When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America.”

Who is they? If the State of California had purchased a fleet of 747 Supertankers, it doesn’t mean “they” wouldn’t still talk about raising property insurance rates. The problems with California’s insurance industry isn’t limited to just property insurance, California’s auto insurance industry is also in crises because of all of the “smart” technology in newer vehicles.

‘Ending Pay for Play in California Newspapers”
.
“Only occasionally can you find out who is paying for the stories you read”To address this shortfall, many papers have taken to accepting grant funds from non-profits, foundations, and non-governmental organizations. And not just from local general do-godderies, but from groups with very specific interests and opinions and desired outcomes.” …
.
Take the Sacramento Bee…please (sorry, couldn’t resist.) Their health care coverage is/was directly funded to the tune of about $175,000 a year (more than enough to rent a reporter) by the California Endowment, an uber-woke, highly political “non-profit” that was set up by the state to help provide access to affordable health insurance but instead plows almost all of its money into advocacy, outreach, and political groups.
.
CalMatters has a similar arrangement with the California Health Care Foundation, getting about $600,000 per year to pay for its health care beat.
.
These are just two examples of hundreds of such arrangements across the country – arrangements that are typically not at all mentioned by the newspaper. For example, George Soros dropped about $130 million on newspapers and media outlets – even some directly on high-profile media personalities – between 2016 and 2020.”

“There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be “the man in the street.”

The GOP literally does not have a platform and has not since 2016. What we are seeing in politics is a grift. We, the taxpayers, should be able to cover rent with a full time job. Instead of addressing things like corporate greed, actually resolving the issues with our immigration policies so that people can become documented and pay more in taxes, making sure that every citizen has access to health care and addressing the dramatic birth mortality rates that seem to keep raising regardless of the status of Roe v Wade, and many more issues that a government is actually the very entity to correct.
But no, let’s make sure that Ann Frank’s diary, written by a 15 year, can not be read by other 15 year olds. Let’s make sure that parents think the threat is coming from drag queens, who can usually be spotted a mile away, and not the ongoing defunding of public education. Sure, send your kids to private school, an institution that has lower standards of certification for it’s teachers and almost no oversight when it comes to background checks.
I could go, and on about the incredulous things we fund with taxes while we nickle and dime individuals over, **checks notes** fudge rounds.
Expecting to solve systemic issues from the bottom up burns up our energy. Biden will only “fix” things so much, so I won’t waste anybody’s time by presenting him or Democrats as if they are some valid solution in and of themselves.
Unfortunately, we have a 2-party system. So it literally is an “either or” situation. The GOP has no shame about setting our money a flame while the Democrats seem to have the decency to burn it under cover of working within the confines of our established system.

A 15-year old in 1944 Germany doesn’t have much in common with a 15-year old in 2023 America, other than their age. As an example, in Germany under Adolf Hitler the vast majority of teens didn’t go to school beyond the 8th grade at age 14, but Hitler did have a program in place where after finishing the 8th grade those 14-year olds, male and female, were sent to live with another family for 1-year where they learned a trade. Do you believe 14-year old American kids have the maturity to go live with another family in a different part of the country for 1-year to learn a trade? I don’t! Due to the lack of maturity among many 15-year old Americans they probably aren’t ready to read The Diary of Ann Frank. While I don’t necessarily believe the book should be banned, I do believe the maturity of the readers matter.
.
Why is it unfortunate that we have a two-party system? It wouldn’t matter if we had a no-party system, a one-party system, or a multi-party system, elected individuals would still group together in like-minded and/or regional factions. If you don’t like the two-party system that we currently have you should blame all of the American voters who are registered Independents, because it is those voters that have left the two-parties that have created the two-party system we have today. By leaving the Democratic Party and Republican Party to become Independents they’ve left the most liberal and progressive members in the Democratic Party voting for the most liberal and progressive primary candidates in the Democratic Party and have left the most conservative members in the Republican Party voting for the most conservative primary candidates in the Republican Party. The Independents are primarily the moderates who aren’t moderating the two-parties. This isn’t necessarily a big problem in California because we have open primaries, except for the Republican presidential primaries, but it’s a problem in other parts of the country. Early in the 19th century we basically had a 1-party system divided into 4-factions that imploded and led to the 2-party system we have today.
Both parties should nominate candidates who fit the district or state they’re running in, not a liberal or progressive in a conservative district/state and not a conservative in a liberal or progressive district/state. Until states ban voters from registering as Independents we’ll continue with the parties we currently have.

It would be great if the Republicans and Democrats could find presidential candidates who were not as old as Trump and Biden. Both Biden and Trump are past their prime and represent the past, not the future. Better, younger candidates exist, whether you are an arch-conservative, moderate, or crazy Socialist.
It is time for Pelosi, McConnell, Trump, Biden, (and Feinstein of course) and the rest of the geriatrics to pass the torch to the next generation.
@I’m New Here
When George Blanda was 30, someone said he was too old to play and should retire. Another person’s response to that was: “Na…..George has 2 or 3 good years left.” Well, Trump definitely has more good years left but he only needs 4. Also, he does not represent the past, as you said. I just can’t figure out why people think putting America first is a thing of the past. Anyway, Trump is all about America/Americans first and he’s got a job to finish.
Well Cyn,
.
Ya gotta wonder if “I N H” is old enough to know of Blanda…
🙂
Which brings me to trivia: speaking of old…
The freeway roadside sign up 80 toward the Sierra Mountains: Jim Otto’s Burger King.
Was never lucky enough to see him, but the place was decked out with his Raider stuff. I heard he owned a couple BK’s, but don’t know exactly where.
Sadly, S, I am old enough to remember George Blanda. And George Jetson too. As a guy in his late sixties, I don’t think someone who is 77 like Donald Trump, or someone who is 80, like Joe Biden is in their prime mentally or physically. And no one was talking about George Blanda playing football at 60.
Cyn and S – we will have to agree to disagree on this issue. Although we probably agree on music!
I didn’t agree nor disagree…
I only wanted to be sure you knew who Blanda was….
What about OTTO?
🙂
S –
Honestly not as familiar with Jim Otto. I lived in Southern California for much of his career, and was not a huge football fan at the time. I have eaten at his Burger King in Mountain View in the distant past, however.
Throw some rock music questions at me, if you really want to test my “old guy” credentials. Some concerts attended: CCR, Chuck Berry, Ramones, Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, too young to catch the Beatles live.
@I’m New Here
You’re correct…..no one was talking about Blanda playing at 60; however, I think you missed my point. IMO, Blanda wasn’t past his prime like people thought, and Trump isn’t past his prime like you think. And yes, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. 🙂
We stopped at that Otto BK a few times on the way to snow ski. Jim had a picture on the wall of himself in football gear with lines and text highlighting his many injuries sustained during his career. It was really frightening. His aches and pains must have been unbearable.
@S
Haven’t driven up that way for years. Didn’t know Jim Otto had a BK but would definitely check it out. Like you, I never saw him play either.

The Democrats have 2 other major party candidates running other than President Joe Biden and Republicans had started this caucus/primary season with 13 other major party candidates other than former President Donald Trump. Of the candidates running, polling has shown President Biden and former President Trump to be the leading candidates. Who are these “better and younger” candidates out there that Democrat and Republican caucus/primary voters don’t seem to want?
.
I wouldn’t say someone is past their prime based on age alone, abilities and cognitive/physical health matter. As an example, look at 90-year old Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, he’s the second oldest Senator in the US Senate, he still works his farm and runs 6-days a week. He’s still cognitively and physically able to do his job in the Senate. I will agree with you on President Joe Biden, Senator Mitch McConnell, and Senator Diane Goldman Berman Feinstein Blum needing to “pass the tourch,” Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi needs to go pretty soon too, as her painted-on clown shaped eyebrows, trying to keep her false teeth in her mouth, and general nervousness/shakiness is a big distraction, but former President Donald Trump is still physically able and cognitively present, he even seems to have lost some weight recently.

This Iowa man wasn’t sentenced to 15 years in prison for simply burning a gay pride flag. He was charged with using arson to violate constitutional rights, harassment, and reckless use of fire or explosives. He’s also a career criminal and this was his third strike which severely enhanced his prison sentence by tripling his time. Had he not stolen the flag, but instead purchased the flag and burned it in a safe manner, even filming it, he wouldn’t have been charged.

It’s unfortunate, while term limits are a good idea in theory, they don’t work, they just get term limited politicians to constantly look for the next office to run for. The only way term limits work is when voters stop voting for the same names running for different offices.

So far, Newsom’s only criteria is (1) Black and (2) Female.
That’s a pretty big field of candidates, and raises some questions:
Do they have to actually be black or simply identify as black?
Do they have to be a biological woman, or some other derivation?
These are the concepts (ambiguities really) his party introduced, and they did it with purpose and malice. It seems the least he could do would be to clarify his definitions.
Ordinarily I would expect him to appoint the most morally repugnant communist he could find. If he does not, there is your sign he’s running for President.

But it did net his family $27 million from the state and $20 million from a GoFundMe account, not to mention statues and paintings honoring his accomplishments.

Gavin Newsom just passed a law requiring a fast food wage increase to 20 dollars an hour. I am sure most of those folks work hard but 20 dollars an hour plus benefits to flip burgers is a bit much. You can thank Newsom that everyone will be paying more for their meals moving forward as the businesses will pass those costs to the customers. I for one, won’t be eating much more at those establishments. But the worst part of it is the Men and women of the California fire fighting forest service get paid only 18 dollars an hour. hello Newsom, the majority of the people of California would prefer to pay extra for our forests and wildlife to be maintained than a fast food meal. Think Mcfly…
You have a great point. Thank you. In addition my angle is that fast food is traditionally a starter job where younger individuals learn the discipline of showing up and putting in effort, while Gavin and others want to make it a head of household job. Eliminating starter jobs for kids is not a good thing. I worked in a starter job.
WHOE JIM,
.
You can be more selective as to which fast food establishments you choose to eat at, because the $20.00 an hour wage doesn’t apply to restaurants that have fewer than 60 locations and those restaurants that make their own bread.
Four things will happen:
1-Prices will increase
2-Lines will be longer because there will be fewer employees.
3-Employees will ultimately be replaced by self-serve kiosks.
4-The trend of product and service providers fleeing California to business friendly climates will increase.
Any benefit will be extremely short term.
