Uber-Democrat Voting Norfolk, Mass, Mad About Illegal Aliens Coming To Their Town

It’s always amusing when Democrats, who advocate for unfettered illegal immigration, have to actually deal with illegal aliens themselves

Democratic town furious over migrant shelter opening in neighborhood

illegal alien DemocratResidents in a New England town are fuming that they have not been consulted on plans to convert a former state prison into a tax-payer-funded migrant shelter for hundreds of people.

The state is refurbishing Norfolk, Massachusetts’ Bay State Correctional Center, a former minimum-security dorm-like facility, to accommodate migrants and homeless individuals who are currently holed up at Boston’s Logan International Airport and are on the waitlist for an emergency shelter program. The facility is located on the grounds of Massachusetts Correctional Institution (MCI), a medium-security prison.

Norfolk has a population of about 11,500 and voted heavily in favor of President Joe Biden in 2020. (snip)

Residents said they want answers about the impact on schools, police and emergency services, pointing out that municipal budgets are already stretched thin.

“Let’s face it, we don’t want it here. We don’t,” resident John Semas said, according to GBH.

“And, it doesn’t make us bad people, it doesn’t make me not compassionate, it doesn’t make me a bad father.” Semas was among a small group of people donning shirts and placards that read “Save Norfolk: No Shelter,” the publication reports.

It does make you hypocrites. And it does make you bad people because by supporting Biden and other Democrats you support bringing millions of mostly unvetted illegal aliens into the U.S. You just want them to be Over There. Somewhere Else. Maybe where those Republican voters live in flyover land.

The state’s emergency assistance director, Scott Rice, says that the facility remains in good condition and has the space to accommodate around 140 families.

Except, will they actually be families, or, mostly single, fighting age males, who seem to be the majority of those coming across the borrder?

The site will be staffed 24/7 by a contracted service provider and families will be provided with transportation on and off site. The razor wire on the fence surrounding the facility will be removed, and the gates will remain open, so families will be free to exit and return as needed, the governor’s office says.

Will Norfolk get to experience the same crime and other problems that Democrat cities have had to deal with? The theft, prostitution, panhandling, harassment of women, unlicensed shops in the streets, loud music and parties at all hours? Anyhow, it’s fun that states can suddenly find lots of resources for illegals, but, not U.S. citizens.

Climate Wackos Glue Themselves To Munich Airport Taxiway

They totally wimped out in not gluing themselves to a runway

Climate Crazies Glue Themselves to Munich Airport Runway

German authorities closed down Munich airport temporarily on Saturday after six climate activists broke through a security fence and glued themselves to access routes leading to runways, officials and local media reported.

The activists from the group Last Generation were protesting flying, the most polluting form of transportation, said the German news agency dpa.

Police have detained the six.

Incoming flights had to be diverted to other airports, an airport spokesperson said. After a couple of hours, the airport’s two runways were reopened though some disruptions to flight schedules may happen, a statement on the airport´s official website said.

Last Generation posted on social media platform X, accusing the German government of “downplaying” the negative effects of flying on the environment instead of “finally acting sincerely.”

Well, they need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Maybe let a large jet cruise over them, freak them out. Of course, no one wants to take a chance that the expensive jet will be damaged. Make the climate wackos repay the costs for the delays.

Canadian Police Investigate After Hamas Supporters Hijab Yanked Off

The Canadian police aren’t quite so thorough in going after those who threaten Jews. It happens, but, not with the same zeal

Police investigate after woman’s hijab pulled off at pro-Palestinian demonstration

The Ottawa Police Service’s hate crime and bias unit is investigating after a woman’s hijab was pulled off during a demonstration outside an Israel Independence Day ceremony at city hall.

The May 14 incident was captured on video and has since been shared widely on social media.

Hayfa Abdelkhaleq, who identified herself to CBC as the woman in the video, said she’s still shaken by what happened.

“I feel really down. She humiliated me. I can’t sleep normal, I can’t eat normal, I’m not functioning normally,” she said.

Do you know who else isn’t functioning normally? All the Jews killed in the October 7th Hamas attack. As Hyfa is wearing an Intifada keffiyeh, she probably approves with the slaughter of Jews.

In the video, Abdelkhaleq can be seen waving a large Palestinian flag with the words “Free Palestine” on it. She’s heard chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

If a Jewish protester was saying kick the Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank, they’d be arrested, tried, and jailed under Canadian law.

Another person enters the frame and shows their middle finger to the camera before reaching out and pulling off Abdelkhaleq’s hijab.

In an unblurred version of the video reviewed by CBC, Abdelkhaleq’s hijab is entirely removed from her head, revealing her hair.

Head to the link to see the short video, where they literally blur Hayfa’s head after the hijab, an article of clothing of female subjugation in Islam, was slightly pulled off.

After composing herself, Abdelkhaleq said she tried to follow the person, whom she saw join the flag-raising ceremony. She said she told a police officer who was monitoring the event about what happened.

Shortly after, Abdelkhaleq said she filed a police report and was connected to someone from the police’s hate crime and bias unit.

She was also told to go back home. Here’s a question: was this staged? I really wouldn’t be surprised.

In an email, Ottawa police said they’re treating what happened to Abdelkhaleq as a hate-motivated incident.

The suspect still hasn’t been identified, police said. They’re still investigating and are looking to anyone who may have seen what happened or might have more information.

Why aren’t the police investigating Hayfa for a hate crime, as she is specifically calling for the destruction of the Jewish state and killing Jews? Her Facebook is littered with this

As someone born and raised in Nablus in the West Bank, Abdelkhaleq said she remains committed to supporting the Palestinian cause.

They never really assimilate. People used to come to Western nations to be a part of them. Now they refuse to give up their own cultures and demand we change for them.

Black Sails Is Definitely Worth The Watch

Finally finished Black Sails after sorta binging. I prefer not too watch too many episodes of a series that I’ve never watched before, and, let me tell you, this was a great show. I highly recommend watching this, but, then, I do love a good pirate movie or show, just like I love horror and science fiction.

I won’t repeat what so many have written about it, suffice to say great characters, great scenery, and great story. You really do get a sense of what the Golden Age of Pirates was like, and they talked in a flowing way that people did in that era.

Obviously, it mixed quite a bit of fantasy with reality, always pointing to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Interestingly enough, there is a small island in the Manasquan River where I grew up that is called, informally, Treasure Island, as Stevenson visited the area 5 years after he wrote the novel, dubbing it that name.

Some apparently did not like the ending, but, I thought it was perfect: spoiler ahead

It pretty much ended almost exactly the way it started: a strong women running Nassau backed by a figurehead male, with a governor who turned a blind eye, and even profited, from piracy. It was tolerated as long as it didn’t get too bad. Did John Silver reconcile with Madi? It looks like it. Did Captain Flint give up the treasure? They never truly said. Things were mostly back to normal, with just new people running the show.

And Calico Jack Rackham was back to piracy, with Ann Bonney, and Mary Reade, in disguise, joining up. It was a good ending. Of course, things would soon come crashing down in the near future, with Jack and Ann captured, Jack being hung, the British truly cracking down on piracy in the Caribbean, driving pirates out, with many moving to the east coast of Africa.

It’s always nice when a show ends exactly as it should. Wings, with Joe and Helen flying off to France so Helen can pursue her dream, while Brian accepts responsibility to keep the airline running. Continuum, where Kiera saves the timeline for her child, but, is now out of time herself, and can only watch the “original” Kiera raise her son. As time travel should be. Psych, with one last mystery.

Black Sails: 5 out of 5 stars.

Yahoo Finance Seems Upset That You Peasants Have An Issue With Biden’s Great Economy

Seriously, you peons have to just ignore the prices you see at the gas station, grocery stores, restaurants, car dealerships, clothes stores, homes/renting, interest rates, etc and so on. It’s all fake, you know, and Biden has been hooking you up

Why Americans are feeling bad about inflation despite a good economy

BidenflationAmericans despise inflation.

It’s a loathing that colors their perception of the economy and their personal finances. And even if the Federal Reserve hits its so-far unmet inflation target of 2%, it won’t be enough to soften that revulsion for most people.

In fact, if it were up to them, Americans would choose no inflation at all.

Those are among the findings from a pair of recent studies exploring how Americans feel about inflation, whether those feelings can change, and what policymakers should make of that sentiment.

The biggest gripe people have about inflation? How it cuts into their standard of living, forcing Americans to adjust their budgets by buying smaller quantities or lower-quality goods.

Um, well, yeah? I’m not thrilled paying $2.25 for a can of soup that cost $1.50 before Biden took office (in fairness, as always, the root cause is China and their coronavirus. Biden’s policies made it worse). Nor a lot more for ice cream. The guitar I bought in 2020 now retails for $100 more than it did then.

Case in point: A record share of Americans say that inflation remains their top financial concern, per a recent Gallup poll. That has weighed down confidence despite robust job growth since the start of 2021 and an unemployment rate that has stayed below 4% for 27 straight months.

Well, yes. Because we have eyes. Meanwhile, the article fails to substantiate the headline that the economy is good

Understanding preferences shows that folks don’t experience inflation in the same way, an important consideration for a central bank trying to keep the economy on solid footing. Even the many measures of inflation vary because they examine different expenditures.

“People with different incomes, as well as those living in different places, are facing very different inflation rates because of the basket of goods they consume or how they finance their purchases. This important variation is not well-captured by our standard measures of average inflation,” Stantcheva wrote.

The rich folks hobknobbing with Biden at expensive fundraisers aren’t bothered by paying a whole lot more for food. The middle and working class are. So, don’t sit there telling us that the economy is good. Inflation in decades past was caused by things outside of government (oil prices, easy home loans, consumer lending). Today inflation is largely caused by government spending. Trouble is higher rates don’t stop politicians spending money. The fed has no power to stop government spending so they are trying to offset government with less consumer to control inflation. Government causes inflation and consumers suffer not only higher prices but higher rates as well.

Our purchasing power is less. And it mostly has to do with government policies. And, I suspect these types of “don’t believe your eyes, the economy is awesome!” article showing up as the election gets closer.

Sea Levels Will SOON! Be At Doom Level In South Florida Or Something

I’m dying to see how much the seas will rise per the Miami Herald. Weirdly, no one there is saying they will leave Florida

Sea levels are starting to rise faster. Here’s how much South Florida is expecting

Sea levels are rising, swamping roads and homes in South Florida. And it’s picked up the pace in recent years.

In the last 80 years, sea level rise has risen about a foot, with 8 inches of that total in the last 30 years, said Brian McNoldy, a senior research associate at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science.

About a foot? Can we see the precise measurement? That’s science. In fact, the closest gauge to Miami shows 1.04 feet since 1931, which is still a bit below what is expected during a Holocene warm period. And has no accelerated.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s best estimates, that pace is expected to speed up — dramatically.

It took about 80 years for the first foot. The second one will only take 30 years. The next, 20 years. And Florida could see the next foot in merely a decade after that.

“Sea level rise is beginning to speed up a bit,” McNoldy said. “If you draw a straight line it starts to not look so straight in recent decades.”

So, in 60 years there will be 3 feet of sea rise? If this doesn’t happen, who loses their job? How about this: make a prediction for the next 5 years. Let’s see how close you are. They won’t, though, because then they’d be on the hook. And you seriously do not expect the Credentialed Media to a: hold them accountable and b: force the climate cult scientists to prove their work, do you?

But perhaps the biggest uncertainty in future sea level rise boils down to one thing: exactly how much more pollution the world will continue to spew into the atmosphere. The lower-end predictions account for a world in which governments stop burning fossil fuels quickly, and the higher-end predictions are based on a situation where we burn even more than we are now.

How do they even call themselves journalists anymore? This is like a doomsday cult written submission.
