And even the Mail can see it:

The shocking numbers that show the unprecedented impact of illegal immigration into America that should make EVERY politician wake up to the crisis

Seven Million by the end of Biden’s term.

Under Biden, the average is 139,000 illegal immigrants per month.

In and around New York City, a significant surge of 5,000 immigrant children flooded into four counties in a single 11-month span through August 2021, posing a $139 million additional burden on New York taxpayers to educate them.

To put this unprecedented migration in even sharper perspective — consider that over nearly six decades, 12 million legal immigrants were admitted to the US through Ellis Island in New York City’s Hudson Harbor. At its peak, those numbers reached 1,004,756 in 1907, an average of 84,000 legal immigrants a month.

Reread those above numbers. Think about it. Those legal immigrants paid their own way after arriving. Not so much these illegals.

I wonder who got to hold the ticket while they prepared?

I mean, that piece of paper was worth $780,000,000.00 seven hundred eighty MILLION dollars (and change).

Two unidentified people claim $1.337b Mega Millions jackpot and split the lump sum payment of $780.5m – after working in secret for weeks with lottery officials and how to deal with their newfound wealth

Damn, that is a lot of money though. They were smart enough to get some financial and tax advice before claiming it.

 

Will she also go after the rent?

‘Cause Letitia James is letting him live Rent Free in her head.

The people of New York should ask how their tax money is being spent wisely going after Trump in a 3 year “Investigation” into his business dealings.

The claim is, apparently, that he overvalued his properties to get loans on them. Bad business practices by the lending banks then, if they failed to verify the value of the assets, innit? When you get a mortgage for your home, generally the banks do some sort of appraisal or market value estimate to make sure that they are covered if you fail to make payments on the loan….they can sell the collateral (generally the home being mortgaged) to recover their losses. I know that each time I refinanced my businesses that the banks required some sort of verification of value of the businesses to ensure that they were covered. …If the banks in this case failed to do so, that is on them, not on Trump. His valuation is what he thinks it is worth, not what the market might think. Up to the banks to determine if the numbers are close or way out of line…..

One wonders how much taxpayer money Ms James has spent to persecute Trump? Do they approve of that wasteful spending? It sure looks like the AG is doing this to be petty, vindictive and to keep Donnie from running in 2024. Do the NY taxpayers approve?

Who got damaged if his valuations were incorrect? Did he default on the loans and the collateral was insufficient to cover them? Not that I am aware of….who got hurt ? Where is the actual, you know, crime?

Please feel free to enlighten me.

Lowest since 1984

Yep. Our Strategic (note that word) Petroleum Reserve is at it’s lowest level since 1984.

This is the supply meant for war. Meant to safeguard the United States if we are at war, or are attacked and cannot easily keep importing crude oil. Or if our oil supplying areas were somehow stopped from producing.

Biden ha used it to artificially reduce the market price of oil. Selling that oil (via a Hunter Biden-associated company, oddly enough) on the open market in an attempt to reduce the price we Americans pay for gasoline, diesel, and heating oil. (I was wrong, BTW,, the massive amounts of oil sold by the US DID reduce the pricing).

It worked, and for a short time (oddly, just before the elections) gasoline is below $4 a gallon….in other words, the American people get to buy “inexpensive” gas because they or other taxpayers bought oil in the past that was stored long ago and then sold to keep their price down at the pump…

And it isn’t like there is any plan to buy back that inventory now that the price is down…(that would push the price back up which Biden cannot allow until the elections are over, lest the DNC losses climb even higher than they are likely to be) .

So, again, the US is in an even weaker logistical position than it was 2 years ago. all to push the price of oil lower.

Note that economics is NOT the reason for the SPR oil that is in the reserve.

But the security of the US and it’s citizens takes a back seat to the DNC maintaining it’s power so that they can continue to gut the country and “Fundamentally Change” our way of life….

 

A most interesting conversation:

So I am the treasurer for my shooting club. and today (Monday)  I was taking the receipts from a raffle we held to the bank.

On the way, I came upon a (minor) fender bender accident. The police had already been called, but the cars were in an area where one of the cars (which wasn’t drivable) was causing some confusion and they were in a somewhat dangerous place. So I parked the car and turned on my flashers in a place that gave people some notice and somewhat shielded the accident scene….

The cops soon arrived and while one was talking with the two drivers who had been in the accident the other came over to where I was sitting in my car getting ready to leave

He approached the passenger side and I rolled the window down. He asked if I had seen the accident or been involved and I told him that no, I had come upon the scene a few minutes after and had simply been trying to make the scene safer for other drivers. He thanked me and I said that I would be leaving as it appeared that the cops had things in hand. Then he looked down and saw the cash that I had in a clip on the passengers seat.

“That’s a lot of money”

“Yes, it is ($3420.00 mostly in 20’s)”

“Where did you get that money?”

“With all due respect, that is none of your business, officer”

I then locked the doors. Rolled the window most of the way up as well.

“Since you won’t tell me, I could take it”

“Why? Do you think I have committed a crime?”.

“How much is there? Looks like several thousand dollars”

“I am taking it to the bank to deposit it…how much is none of your business” (There was a filled out deposit slip on top).

“Looks suspicious to me”

“If you are thinking Civil Asset Forfeiture, better get a supervisor. If you try to take it then I would consider it Armed Robbery…and would respond appropriately”

“Are you making a threat? ”

“Nope. Just telling ya. Am I free to go?”

With that, he turned and walked away

What a great way to make me want to help next time. What a great way to make me respect police officers.

Asshole.

I respect and appreciate the job the police do. But cops like this erode that respect.

 

Pissed off Teutonic types is never a Good Thing…..

So the German police are planning for riots and Civil Unrest… 

They expect that when the price of things goes sky high, the price of natural gas follows (it is already insanely high), and electricity TRIPLES from today’s already high price,,….

That the people will be (ahem) unhappy…and will demonstrate that fact in the streets.

It won’t be pretty. Germans have a history….and the history isn’t a nice one. .

I expect that if there are blackouts that the Germans will become…incensed. And likely take their unhappiness out on either the immigrants or the Governments…..or both.

Merkel did her job well, didn’t she? Weakened and damaged the country and then, of course, left others to try and clean up the mess.

The differences between New York and Indiana

Watch the videos in the link. Everyone tried to ignore the guy while he threatened them with an Axe (a hatchet, really) hoping he wouldn’t hurt them.

They were defenseless if they were following the law …while he threatened them and smashed furniture in a rage.

Indiana? Yeah, not so much. Threatening people with a deadly weapon (that hand-axe) is grounds to end up perforated and approaching room temperature. In any crowd of more than 10 people there is likely to be at least one armed individual. In some places  everyone will be armed.

The best part? He is out on Bail! of ZERO dollars. Released.
