Back in the old days, beauty queens would tell us their fondest desire was for ... whirled peas.
Nowadays, it's all about telling gringo how to run his country.
Which is the buried news we got from an interview with the newly crowned Miss Universe from Chihuahua, Mexico, Andrea Meza, who told Fox News with characteristic breathiness:
Meza: I want to take advantage of every single moment. I want to do the most I can with it. I worked with the consulate general in New York and we had this amazing conversation about women empowerment and gender-based violence. That’s one of my main focuses.
I want to give women a voice. I want to let the world know the conditions of the Latin community here in the States, as well as in general. I want to raise awareness of gender-based violence because it happens all around the world, not just in Mexico or the Latin community. We need to create awareness for it. And for me, it’s only beginning.
She wants to let the world know the conditions of the Latin community here in the states? Why not the Latin community in some place like Russia or China? Or better yet, Mexico?
Somehow America's the target because America's the bad guy and she's inclined to use her beauty-queen megaphone to tell all the world's nations about it.
Somehow, I don't think this "conditions" statement is a bid to tell migrants not to emigrate to the states illegally, paying coyotes thousands of dollars for the illegal trip up norte. More likely, it's that gringo doesn't do enough for them. Is she going to tell the Mexicans just how terrible life in the states is so they don't emigrate here illegally? I'm gonna say 'no' especially since she said she's meeting with the Mexican consulate in New York and we all know that they've got an agenda.
Maybe she can explain why she seems to think her country is all a bunch of saints with only gringos the predators and the United States the maw of death, with criminal illegals who plague the states somehow non-existent.
Naturally, she thinks Mexico is some sort of paradise, serving as "ambassador" to her native Chihuahua, and explaining in her video how wonderful it is:
VIDEO
That's fine and dandy, so why would anyone want to leave such a place to head to the states where all the bad conditions are, for her to want to make the matter her platform issue?
Seems she came here to do some political activism, aiming to shower the benefits onto the illegals as a foreign national, politically campaigning in the states, the very country that gave her her crown.
Let's see what she would say if one of us went down to Mexico to campaign about "conditions" for Latinos in her country. The whole thing is unseemly and crosses the line between the generically vapid but good intentioned "whirled peas" of traditional beauty queens into full blown wokester activism of the Kaepernick set. One hopes it was just a beginner's mistake on her part and not a truly stupid wokester platform, but who knows in this day and age?
Get woke, go broke, lady. Same for your organization.
North Carolina Student Denied High School Diploma After Wearing Mexican Flag over Graduation Gown File Photo: Alfredo Estrella / AFP / Getty 3:20
A student at Asheboro High School in Asheboro, North Carolina, was denied his diploma on Thursday after wearing a Mexican flag over his graduation gown at the commencement ceremony.
“I just gotta represent — I did it for my family. They came over here to give me a better future,” explained Ever Lopez of why he showed up to his graduation ceremony wearing a Mexican flag, according to a report by the Courier-Tribune .
In a video posted to Twitter by Lopez’s cousin, Adolfo Hurtado, the student can be seen stepping up onto the stage when his name is called.
The principal, however, didn’t hand over the diploma, and instead spoke to Lopez quietly, as a line of students waited behind him. Moments later, Lopez walked off stage without his diploma in hand.
Watch Below:
“I myself was very upset, and I had to contain my emotions because we’re in a public area,” Hurtado said. “We had a lot of people with eyes on us.”
Asheboro City Schools said that the denial of Lopez’s diploma was not due to the Mexican flag in particular, saying in a statement that the ordeal was due to the student being out of dress code.
“The heart of the issue is the fact that the student did not follow the established dress code for the event and detracted from the importance and the solemnity of the ceremony,” the statement read. “Our dress code is in place to ensure the dignity of the event is upheld and is fair to all students. Graduation is a milestone event and it is grossly unfair for one individual to diminish this event by violating the dress code.”
Asheboro High School principal Penny Crooks emailed students ahead of the ceremony, explaining the dress code, directing male students to wear a dress shirt and dress pants, and female students to wear a dress, skirt, or dress pants, adding that flip flops and sneakers are prohibited, reports the Courier-Tribune .
The report added that while the email states clothing should meet the school district’s dress code policy, the dress code policy doesn’t mention flags being prohibited.
Principal Crooks reportedly said Lopez can receive his diploma if he apologizes for the incident.
“I ain’t apologizing for nothing,” Lopez told the Courier-Tribune . “It’s you who should be apologizing. You’re the one doing wrong.”
Lopez’s mother, Margarita Lopez, also reacted to the encounter, stating, “For me that’s not fair. That’s something for racists.”
By 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Lopez still hadn’t received his diploma. The student’s mother, however, said she received a call from the school, and that she is setting up a meeting next week to discuss the situation.
The school reportedly offered to meet Lopez’s mother on Friday, but she preferred to wait until she could have a translator before attending the meeting.
On Friday afternoon, a group of about 30 protesters gathered outside Asheboro High School, wielding signs, which read, “Free Ever’s Diploma,” and “Honk if You’re Not Racist.” Others draped Mexican flags over their shoulders.

Is Mass Immigration Killing Two-Party Democracy in the U.S.?.... ISN'T THAT BARACK OBAMA'S AGENDA?

It used to be that legal immigrants would divide their votes once they became citizens. But that was then.
by JAMES DELMONT
Few seem willing to admit it, but mass immigration appears to be killing democracy in the United States . Two-party democracy withstood the unprecedented mass immigration of the 1870-to-1914 period because the European immigrants tended, for one reason or another, to vote for both parties. That is not true today. In the 19th century, newcomers voted along religious lines to a remarkable degree: Irish Catholics 80 percent Democrat and all Catholics 70 percent Democrat. But after the Civil War, Germans and Scandinavians, heavily Lutheran, voted Republican, as English Canadian and British immigrants did. In the famous turning-point presidential election of 1896, urban working-class immigrants tended to vote Republican, organized by the active and powerful political machines in big cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Very few in the mass migration of that day moved to the American South, which remained solidly Democrat. The two-party system survived throughout most of the country as both parties had urban political machines that provided social services to immigrants.
The present massive wave of immigration that began in the 1970s, largely as a result of the extended family clause in the 1965 Kennedy immigration reform bill, has had remarkably different results. The new immigrants are voting overwhelmingly Democrat: Hispanics 2 to 1, Asians about 70 percent (all election figures from the Pew Research Center ). The children of Asian immigrants voted 82 percent for Barack Obama in 2008. In addition, black Americans who used to vote Republican now vote 90 percent or more Democrat, as do black immigrants.
California not long ago was a state Republicans could win. Two presidents, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, came from California and major offices such as governor were regularly won by Republicans. Today California is a permanently blue state, with its wealth of electoral votes. Its U.S. senators, governor, and most of its members of Congress are Democrats. Democrats have a supermajority in both houses of the Legislature and have changed the constitution so that party primaries have been banned in favor of “open” primaries in which Republicans are likely not to finish higher than third, thus not making the November ballot. In the last two U.S. Senate races, 2016 and 2018, voters were offered Democrat No. 1 and Democrat No. 2 as choices. Unsurprisingly, Democrats won both elections, and one of the winners, Kamala Harris , is now running for president.
The demographic tidal wave of mostly
Third World immigrants who vote heavily
Democrat is now running legally at a
million a year, an all-time record, and is
turning red states purple and then
blue. Arizona is going, Colorado and Georgia are going, Virginia is gone , North Carolina is tipping, and Florida is a dead heat but the immigration trends (south-of-the-border Latinos and Puerto Ricans) are against the GOP. Even Texas is drifting leftward as Latinos bid to become a solid majority there. There is the myth, of course — offered by members of the Bush family — that Hispanics will see the light and begin voting like Indiana Republicans. In fact, Hispanics have voted Democrat since 1960, and they went for Obama in 2008 by 67-31 percent and for Hillary Clinton in 2016 by 66-28 percent. So much for the Bush theory. Asians voted 77 percent for Obama in 2012 and 79 percent for Clinton in 2016. So much for the two-party system.
Furthermore, the much-quoted estimate of 11 million undocumented aliens in the U.S. may be woefully short of the truth. A new study by Yale University suggests the true number of illegals is probably in the 20-to-30 million range, more than enough to kill the two-party system at one stroke, if they eventually receive the citizenship amnesty promised by Democrats.
The two-party system in the U.S. has been healthy since 1796, when Thomas Jefferson took on John Adams in the presidential contest. They met again in 1800 in a more famous showdown, by which time the earliest political parties had formed and taken on ideological hues that still exist today. The ideal situation for a healthy democracy and a workable two-party system is a stable population. If the population is stable (and growing slowly), each party has an opportunity to persuade the public of its merits. That opportunity is disappearing quickly because the population is not stable. We are not far from the time when the U.S. will have a Latino majority and will, regrettably, be a one-party state. Apparently, that is what Democrats want.

Democrats Vs. the People The conflict didn’t start in 2016.
Lloyd Billingsley
After Russia collusion, quid pro quo, “obstruction of Congress” and such, it’s clear that Democrats are still trying to overturn the 2016 election. It’s hard to blame them, given the great success of Donald Trump’s predecessor in the White House.
POTUS 44, formerly known as Barry Soetoro, put time back on the clock for Cuba’s Communist regime and helped Iranian mullahs with their cash flow, in exchange for exactly nothing. On the domestic side, the president’s eponymous health plan took away the right to choose. This prepared the way for his chosen successor, Hillary Clinton, to implement “single payer” and complete the complete transformation prophesied in 2008.
Hillary lost, Trump won, and Democrats still refuse to accept the voice of the people. Long before 2016, this rejection of the people was on display in California.
In 1978, when Jerry Brown was governor, soaring property taxes were literally driving people from their homes. Embattled Californians responded with Proposition 13, the People’s Initiative to Limit Property Taxation. This measure capped property tax rates for residential and commercial properties at 1 percent of the assessed value and prevented assessed value from growing more than 2 percent a year. The initiative also required a two-thirds vote of the legislature to enact any change in state taxes designed to increase revenues.
Proposition 13 mandated no spending or state hires, but Brown called it a fraud and a rip-off. In June of 1978, a full 65 percent of California voters approved the measure, a landslide victory. Governor Brown then proclaimed himself a born-again tax cutter but has since spearheaded a tax counterrevolution, and Proposition 13 remains under relentless attack from Democrats and their allies.
On November 4, 1986, California voters passed Proposition 63, the Official Language of California Amendment. This measure directs the state legislature to “preserve the role of English as the state’s common language” and refrain from “passing laws which diminish or ignore the role of English as the state’s common language.” A full 73 percent of California voters approved the measure, a landslide by any definition, but the people got no respect.
“In short, state legislators and public officials acted as if Prop. 63 never existed, “wrote Orange County Register columnist Gordon Dillow in 2006. Some level of proficiency in English is a requirement for American citizenship, in turn a requirement for voting. Yet, in 2016, the California voter guide came in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. For 2018, Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a Democrat, added Punjabi, Hmong, Syriac, Armenian, Persian, and Arabic .
The University of California serves the top 12.5 percent of the graduating high-school class. Since the seventies, the UC had been rejecting highly qualified applicants and reserving spots for “minorities” not academically qualified. In 1996, Californians passed the California Civil Rights Initiative, Proposition 209, ending racial, ethnic, and gender preferences in state-college admissions, state employment, and state contracting.
University of California boss Janet Napolitano, a high-profile Democrat and former Arizona governor, derided the measure as a “legal barrier,” to “diversity.” Napolitano hailed a “partnership” with Mexico and made the UC a sanctuary system, founding and funding the UC Center for Undocumented Student Legal Services . The 4,000 or so illegals now in the UC system pay in-state tuition and Napolitano granted them a $25.2 million aid package , with no compensation from the governments of the illegals’ home countries.
In K-12, California had been teaching Mexican students primarily in Spanish, which hurt their prospects in higher education and the job market. In 1998, Californians passed Proposition 227 , the English Language in Public Schools statute, which ended so-called “bilingual education.” Democrats have done everything in their power to block the measure and reforms through ballot measures now face more obstacles.
Poll: 65 Percent of Americans Want Migrants to Assimilate AP Photo/Alessandra Tarantino

Sixty-five percent of Americans believe it is a good thing for immigrants to assimilate into American culture, and just 16 percent reject assimilation, according to a poll announced June 5 by ScottRasmussen.com.
But 70 percent of Democrats — and 85 percent of liberals — believe it is good for immigrants to “influence” Americans’ mainstream culture, says the May 27-20 poll of 1,200 registered voters.
Overall, the poll shows a widespread public rejection of the progressives’ demand for diversity and identity politics that helps them fragment the common culture that ordinary Americans have evolved to help them rule their own society.
That is good news, Rob Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News on June 9. He continued:
A national identity and shared values are what makes the United States such an exceptional place … That’s exactly what liberals hate — what they’re trying to do is dilute the [political and cultural] power of Americans by bringing in mass levels of immigration.
“The corporate elites and liberals who just don’t believe in borders [try] to divide [the culture of the nation] and fracture it,” he added.
For example, many progressives still push the 1950s claim that the United States is a “Nation of Immigrants,” not a nation of Americans with their own evolved culture.
Overall, the ScottRasmussen poll shows a widespread public rejection of the progressives’ demand for diversity and identity politics that helps progressive fragment the common culture that ordinary Americans have evolved to help them rule their own society.
For example, 68 percent of whites, 70 percent of Hispanics — but just 50 percent of blacks — said it is “a good thing” for new arrivals to assimilate into the common culture.
The Scott Rasmussen poll used an introduction and three questions to tease out Americans’ tangled views on immigration and culture.
The initial statement said:
America has at times been referred to as a Melting Pot, a place where immigrants and new ethnic groups assimilate into our nation’s mainstream culture. As part of the process, American culture is influenced by the cultural traditions of the new immigrants.
The first question asked: “Is it fair to describe the United States as a Melting Pot today?” The question split 58 percent yes to 21 percent no.
But the multiple possible interpretations of the question blurred partisan differences. So, for example, the GOP respondents split 54 percent yes to 24 percent no, while Democrats answered similarly, at 67 percent yes to 16 percent no.
The next question asked: “Generally speaking, is it a good thing for immigrants and new ethnic groups to assimilate into American culture?”
The overall result was 65 percent yes, 16 percent no, with 19 percent not sure.
Partisan differences were minor — GOP respondents split percent 66 yes to 17 percent no, while Democrats answered 70 percent yes to 13 percent no.
That seems like a clear answer — but it turns out that many liberals prefer immigrants to assimilate so they can change Americans’ culture. So the third question asked: “Okay … is it a good thing for American culture to be influenced by the cultural traditions of new immigrants?”
Democrats answered 70 percent yes to 15 percent no.
Just 43 percent of GOP respondents approved influence, while 39 percent disapproved of influence.
Overall, the respondents answered 56 percent yes, and 25 percent no.
The poll could not ask respondents to say if they preferred a little or a lot of influence from immigrants. For example, few Americans denounce Italian-style pizza, but very many reject Islamic polygamy or the widespread use of foreign languages.
But a plurality of “very conservative” respondents showed they oppose immigrant influence on American culture. This nationalist-minded group split 46 percent no and 41 percent yes.
In contrast, very liberal respondents were eager for migrants to influence Americans’ culture, with seven percent answering “no” and 85 percent answering “yes.”
The poll’s questions about a “good thing” are useful, in part, because other polls simply ask if respondents believe migrants are assimilating.
For example, an October 2919 Associated Press -NORC poll said 54 percent of U.S. voters said immigrants are not adopting American culture but are keeping their foreign cultures. Breitbart News reported :
A slim majority of 51 percent of voters say the U.S. should be a nation with a national culture and national identity, rather than adopting a multicultural approach. White voters are the only racial demographic group to say, by a majority, that the U.S. must have a national culture.
Many progressives push the Cold War claim that Americans’ homeland is a “Nation of Immigrants.”
This claim is contradicted by many years of polling by a wide variety of pollsters, which show deep , non-partisan, and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.
This opposition is multiracial , cross-sex , non-racist , class-based , bipartisan , rational , persistent , and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
Migration moves money from employees to employers , from families to investors , from young to old , from children to their parents , from homebuyers to investors , from technology to stoop labor , from red states to blue states , and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York .
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
