Illegal Aliens Dying At Record Rates Thanks To Biden/Democrat Policies

Democrats keep supporting illegal immigration, so, illegals keep attempting to come to the United States. Biden makes it as easy as possible for illegals to cross the border. And the results?

Migrant Deaths at Texas Border Crossing Jump 2,383% Over Last Six Years

More migrants are dying at the United States-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, than at any other time in the past 25 years, with more women losing their lives and agencies lacking capacity to identify all those lost, according to a report out Friday.

One hundred and forty nine migrants died in the El Paso sector in the year to the end of September, according to the El Paso Times, marking a 2,383% increase over the six deaths recorded six years ago. Some Border Patrol officers are finding two or three bodies per day, according to the report.

The headline is a little misleading, as it attempts quietly to say things were bad under Trump. But, this is all on Biden

The United States Customs and Border Protection sector includes all of New Mexico, but the number of fatalities recorded does not include those who died across the border in neighboring Juárez before they could make it into the U.S.

Residents of New Mexico have stumbled on bodies in the desert, the outlet reported, while workers have had to get used to the smell of decaying bodies found in the Rio Grande.

Children have discovered bodies in backyards, while horse riders have also spotted bodies propped up on the side of the road.

The report said the number of women dying more than doubled from 2022 and tripled on 2021’s numbers.

Biden has a weekend off for that. He’s happy that tens of thousands more are making it the US just fine. Of course, the blame for the illegals dying is the United States

“I don’t remember a time when things were like this and not feeling any hope as I look toward the future,” Ruben Garcia, the executive director of El Paso’s Annunciation House, which provides assistance to migrants, told the Times.

“Where is the humanity? Where are the ethics? The morality? The justice in all of these human beings who are dying in the desert?,” he continued. “In order to respond, your soul has to be moved. Then you discover there aren’t a lot of people in government who operate in response to that.” (snip)

“The number of deaths is horrific,” U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, told the Times. “And the way that people are dying is equally horrific. From my perspective, it is proof that deterrence at the border does not work. It does not stop migration. It only makes migration deadlier.(snip)

“Make no mistake, the rise in migrant deaths is neither circumstantial nor purely accidental, but due to the ill-conceived border enforcement strategies and operations happening at our southern border,” Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights, told The Messenger.

In other words, they blame the US for actually having policies, like pretty much every other nation, which limits immigration and attempts to stop people at the border. Yet, these same Democrats freak out when people like Texas Governor Greg Abbott ships busload after busload to Democrat run areas.

Hillary Clinton Super Excited To Pitch A New Paradigm For Insurance Because Of Hotcoldwetdry

She couldn’t have an ulterior motive, could she? Oh, and she also took a long, fossil fueled flight to the fossil fuels nation of Dubai

Hillary Clinton at COP28 climate talks calls for insurance reform

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Sunday for reform of the insurance sector, where companies are increasingly withdrawing assistance against climate shocks.

Lower-income countries and workers in nations most affected by climate change are struggling to access insurance to help protect them from economic shocks.

“We need to rethink the insurance industry,” Clinton said during a panel on women and climate resiliency. “Insurance companies are pulling out of so many places. They’re not insuring homes. They’re not insuring businesses.” (snip)

During Sunday’s discussion, Clinton recalled meeting Indian women who described working outdoors in construction, farming or desert salt flats, forced to work in “almost unbearable conditions” because they had no economic alternatives.

But “as the climate changes, as storms increase and drought and heat increase,” she said, “it’s not just … poor, hard-working women in India. It’s people everywhere who are going to be left out with no backup, no insurance for their business or their home.”

So, what’s the solution, Hillary? Insurance, be it home, auto, health, boat, etc, is already heavily regulated by government in most 1st World nations. Many of them offer government health care, and do not allow private insurance. So, what now? Will the government start offering government insurance for homes and autos? Auto insurance is already up 25% since COVID started, and, since Biden and other Democrats are trying to force everyone (else) into EVs, well, they add another 25%. At this point. A big problem in a state like Florida is that it has always been a high risk state for storm damage, and the price of homes and building supplies has skyrocketed. Combine that with aging buildings that are constantly exposed to salty air and a high saltwater water table throughout much of the state, and the fear mongering over climate doom, and it all ads up.

So, how well will it work when Government is running your home, auto, boat, etc insurance? Will they allow any private insurance, like those which protect your appliances?

Pro-Hamas Protesters Cause NYC Natural History Museum To Bar Doors

It really is long past time to round up and deport every single one of these people who are not U.S. citizens. If they want to support terrorists they can damned well do it in the terrorist nation of their choice

Pro-Palestinian protesters force American Museum of Natural History to barricade its doors

A group of about 200 pro-Palestinian protesters flooded Times Square and other parts of New York City on Saturday after police blocked the crowd from entering the American Museum of Natural History, citing several recent disturbances involving the same group.

The rally began around 2 p.m. EST on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, according to local news reports.

Before Saturday, the protest organizer, Within Our Lifetime, told its 143,000 Instagram followers to arrive at the museum in “small groups” and to come draped in Palestinian flags and apparel.

Museum officials, however, locked the doors and barricaded the points of entry for a second time after the crowd attempted to get inside a week ago, forcing the facility to batten down out of fear for its valued artifacts.

On the previous occasion, they were praying and yelling Allahu Akbar, which should get them arrested and deported. And still, not one news outlet is asking any of them what they specifically mean by things like “free Palestine.”

Too bad there aren’t any politicians in NYC to stand up against these Islamic extremists. These are terrorist supporters shutting down one of the nations premiere museums where kids go.

Good News: Inflation Is All Your Fault Per Spoiled Elitist

No, really

High prices? Like food, energy, water, clothes? From the link

You would think, with prices as high as they are, that Americans would have tempered their enthusiasm for shopping of late; that they would have pulled back spending on luxury items; that they would have sought out budget and basic options, bought smaller packages, fewer things.

This is not what has happened. Consumer spending rose 0.2 percent, after accounting for higher prices, in October, the most recent month for which the government has data. Online shopping jumped 7.8 percent over the Thanksgiving long weekend, more than analysts had anticipated. The sales of new cars, dishwashers, cruise vacations, jewelry—all things people tend to give up when they are watching their budget—remain strong. Consultants keep anticipating a recession precipitated by the “death of the consumer.” Thus far, the consumer is staying alive.

People hate inflation, just not enough to spend less: This is one of the central tensions of today’s economy, in which things are going great yet everyone is miserable. And in some ways, Americans have nobody to blame but themselves.

People went without for years if they were able to. In some cases they had to, because goods were scarce. People are starting to see sales on products now, because availability is up. There actually are some good deals. But, the core products such as food and energy are way up.

Sticker shock is real. And in surveys, people say that they are trading down because of cost pressures. But in fact they are spending more than they ever have, even after accounting for higher prices. They’re spending not just on the necessities, but on fun stuff—amusement parks, UberEats.

How dare you peasants want to have a good life! Which is not a surprising hottake, since the author, Annie Lowery, was raised with a silver spoon and graduated from Harvard, worked a bunch of cushy media jobs, and is worth millions. As is her husband Ezra Klein.

There is actually some debate on that phrase. Some say it meant “if the good bread (French citizens really, really, really like their good bread) isn’t available, make cake with the lower quality wheat”, because there was a massive wheat issue, partly due to the cooler temperatures from the Little Ice Age. Or maybe it was said as an Elitist phrase. The French nobles were trying to get the peasants to eat potatoes, which were considered to be food that not even the lowest of the low would eat, but, they were available so people didn’t starve. Regardless, this type of attitude from Elites at The Atlantic really doesn’t help. But, they should keep it up, because the GOP will do what they can to lose in 2024.

Opera Audience Shouts Down Nutjob Climate Cult Members

One would think that a goodly chunk of the audience would be fellow travelers in a city like NYC, people who would cheer interruptions by climate “activists”, but, as usual, they aren’t happy when their beliefs cause problems in their own lives

Climate activists interrupt opera performance, angering audience: ‘Shut up!’

Climate activists angered opera fans at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, by standing up and screaming during an opening night performance of Tannhäuser, Thursday.

Radical climate group Extinction Rebellion, NYC, took credit for the protest on social media, and shared videos of the disruptions.

Halfway through the second act of the performance, several protesters stood up and demanded an end to fossil fuels. One man scolded the audience to “wake up” to the “climate emergency,” before unfolding a black banner that said, “No opera on a dead planet.”

“Wake up! The stream is polluted! The stream is tainted! The stream is poison! This is a climate emergency! This is a climate emergency. There will be no opera on a dead planet!” he shouted.

Wackjobs. Wearing lots of clothes made with petroleum, using phones made with petroleum. Living in a city that would not survive without fossil fueled deliveries of food and goods. What’s with the stream stuff?

The first disruption was timed by the group to coincide with a character’s line in the opera, Extinction Rebellion said.

“The disruption was timed to coincide with the main character’s declaration that ‘love is a spring to be drunk from,’ and highlighted the fact that, contrary to those words spoken on stage, springs are not pure now, because we are in a climate crisis, and our water is contaminated,” the group said in a statement.

How is the water contaminated from CO2? Wackjobs

As the protesters were ushered out by security, audience members booed and jeered at the activists. The performance was stopped again, when another activist with Extinction Rebellion stood up and shouted a similar message.

Angry audience members demanded the woman leave, shouting “Shut up!” “Get out of here!” “Go outside!” “This isn’t the place!” One person can be seen yanking the protester’s scarf.

I guess mostly Democrat voting New Yorkers who poll highly on Doing Something do not like to be inconvenienced.

Stupid Party Expels George Santos

There’s no doubt Santos is a scumbag and liar, and will most likely be found guilty in court.

He has yet to be convicted of a crime in a court as of yet

(Breitbart) Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is no longer a member of Congress. The House voted 311-114 Friday morning to expel him in the first House expulsion since 2002.

The historic vote sets a new precedent in the House. Santos departs even as he has not been convicted of a crime and has pleaded not guilty.

Santos survived two earlier attempts to expel him, but could not hold on after a brutal report from the House Ethics Committee on its investigations into his actions.

The ethics committee report included evidence Santos knowingly filed false reports with the Federal Election Commission, used campaign funds for personal purposes including subscriptions to OnlyFans and botox treatments, and willfully violated ethics laws as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House.

OK. So, when does the House start expelling other members?

Thursday [Santos] introduced a privileged resolution to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who pleaded guilty weeks ago to a misdemeanor for pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol complex.

“If the House wants to start different precedent and expel me, that is going to be the undoing of a lot of members of this body because this will haunt them in the future when mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from office when duly elected by their people in their respective states and districts,” Santos said Thursday.

When is the vote on Bowman? You know that 100% of Democrats will vote to keep him. When do they hold a vote on AOC for breaking House ethics rules for her Met Gala attendance. When is Swallwell expelled for consorting with a Chinese spy? How about serial liar Adam Schiff, who’s been censored for his lying about the fake Russia collusion? And so many who are acting as insider traders? They won’t expel anti-Semites Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, or many of their Squad members. They won’t impeach Myorkas or Biden. How about

And now it appears as if NY gov Kathy Hochul is going to pick someone, instead of holding a special election. She will not be picking a Republican, you know she’ll pick a far left Progressive Democrat. Good job, Republicans!
