“The watchdogs at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington Times
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN, belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!
The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.
MARK LEVINE OUTLINES JOE BIDEN'S CATASTROPHIC FAILURES
What if America gave away highest technologies to its enemies?

On the 14 th of August 2020, Politico Magazine , in a lengthy article, revealed for the first time Barack Obama’s true opinion of Joe Biden together with his warning to the people of America. During the 2020 primary Obama told a fellow Democrat: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”
THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
Jesse Watters: The people responsible won’t talk
The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, or all those migrants wearing the Biden let us in shirts, you’d give him an A-plus, plus, but the American people would give him an F. The crisis we said our border was not only entirely predictable. It was predicted. I predicted it last fall that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s exactly what’s happened every month since the election.” SEN. TOM COTTON
There is also an impact on wages.
If impoverished migrants agree to work for less than minimum wages without benefits, the working-class citizens either suffers job redundancy or depression in wages. If they work under the table and send their untaxed remittances home, communities go underdeveloped and get a run-down look.
When some among the migrants commit violent crimes -- through car break-ins, burglaries, vandalism, fentanyl dealing, identity theft, strongarm robberies, rapes, and other violent crimes, it is the working class citizen who suffers. At times, they pay with their lives.
Holding the open-borders Democrats accountable.
The U.S. is currently in the midst of a serious border crisis since Joe Biden took over.
More than 1.7 million migrant encounters occurred in FY 2021, and more than 2 million in FY 2022. The actual number of individuals who managed to cross the border and are inside the U.S. has to be considerably higher.
So what usually occurs after these migrants are apprehended?
The Biden administration transports these migrants , including the underaged migrants, via night flights, from Texas to New York, late at night.
So what happens after they land?
The New York Post reported that the migrants are then bussed to various other states or cities such as New Jersey or Philadelphia. It isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that these migrants are dropped into swing states.
None of this is reported by the mainstream news media, obviously.
The migrants are resettled into working-class neighborhoods of these states.
Any locality has facilities and resources that are directly proportional to the number of residents, i.e., citizens, living there.
What happens when migrants inundate these localities?
They occupy parks, pavements, and other free spaces, and once again the citizens whose tax money funds the construction and maintenance of these places, suffers.
When the sanitation and waste management facilities are overwhelmed, it results in the surroundings becoming unhygienic, which will become a health hazard causing the spread of diseases.
If the migrants have highly contagious infections such as COVID-19, Monkeypox, tuberculosis, measles, leishmanosis, or any other infectious diseases, once again the citizen suffers, first in the risk of being infected, and second as health facilities meant for citizens are overwhelmed, causing them to have no option but to ignore citizens.
When some among the migrants commit violent crimes -- through car break-ins, burglaries, vandalism, fentanyl dealing, identity theft, strongarm robberies, rapes, and other violent crimes, it is the working class citizen who suffers. At times, they pay with their lives.
"Why just blame migrants, even citizens could be infected with diseases and be criminals?" is what the open border proponent will say in retaliation as they accuse you of bigotry.
Well, the problems that could emanate from citizens are the nation's problems, that doesn't mean we should import more problems.
There is also an impact on wages.
If impoverished migrants agree to work for less than minimum wages without benefits, the working-class citizens either suffers job redundancy or depression in wages. If they work under the table and send their untaxed remittances home, communities go underdeveloped and get a run-down look.
Beyond these issues, the impact of uncontrolled migration is cultural, which can hardly be gauged because the change is gradual.
The migrants may originate from cultures that have anachronistic values and practices from what is found in the U.S. Instead of adapting to their surroundings, quite a few expect everyone else to adapt to their values. Among other things, their refusal to conform results in ‘honor' killings, incestuous marriages, child marriages, foot baths, and 'press 1 for English.’
In addition to the violence and regressive practices, culture and values are the core identity of a nation and a locality that sees its erosion will soon be a lost community.
This uncontrolled influx is a long-term project of the Democrats – to inundate swing states with these migrants who, they think, will be Democrat voters. The hope is this new Democrat voter base will overwhelm the impact of existing Republican voters.
Soon elections are rendered meaningless.
The Democrats have successfully implemented this in states such as New York and California, where even a potted plant, or worse, the likes of AOC, with the letter ‘D’ after its name, is certain to win elections. In California, there are districts so packed with illegal aliens that voter turnout only amounts to about 10% of the number of people present to create the district. These are known as "dead" zones and Democrats know all about them. Large numbers of illegal immigrants also pad congressional seats for Democrats so that even if the illegals do not vote, their presence makes Democrat congressional seats possible that wouldn't otherwise be there. The contests in these states with these arrangements are not between left and right, but left, far left, and socialists.
This open border isn’t due to Biden’s misgovernance, this is an intentional and malicious act to ensure a permanence of power, both nationally, and in key states.
The Democratic leaders who support open borders never suffer the consequences of the policies they advocate.
They live in affluent localities. Their properties are surrounded by imposing walls. They also have armed bodyguards. The migrants will not be allowed even near these localities, except as maids and gardeners.
That changed in April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott led a unique practical experiment by transporting immigrants on a voluntary basis to "sanctuary" states run by open borders advocates. The goal was to make them accept the consequences of their words and actions.
These migrants were transported to cities such as New York, Chicago, and Washington. Some were even dropped outside the Washington D.C. home of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's border czar who had just advised the country that the border was "secure."
The governor of Arizona also followed this move, as so did Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, who flew some 50 migrants in to tony Martha’s Vineyard.
As expected, the migrants haven’t been welcomed with open arms. The mayors of the cities have complained and attacked Republican governors while the wealthy liberals of Martha’s Vineyard haven’t actually opened their homes to the migrants they claim to love. Some authorities have called the National Guard.
In doing this, the governors have revealed the Democrats to be hypocrites and elitists.
But we already knew that.
So what happens next?
Doubtlessly, at least some of these migrants will be transported to detention centers away from the local mansions where they will then be re-released back to swing or Republican states.
If there has to be any long-term impact from this amusing exercise, all GOP governors much join in and keep dispatching migrants, to liberal states for as long as they can.
In time, the Democrats may block the busses at their city borders and prevent migrants from disembarking from planes.
It will be chaotic.
The only hope is that the chaos will cause local authorities compel the upper echelons of the Democrat party to fix the borders.
But the exercise in holding the open-border proponents accountable must not stop here.
When the GOP wins back the House and the Senate, they must author a bill that does the following:
Mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume construction of a border barrier wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that President Trump began. Mandates DHS to deploy tactical infrastructure and technology across all borders beginning with the southern border. Mandates U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to increase the number of border security agents and officers. Now for the most crucial aspect of all this, the funding:
Yes, the taxpayers will be paying.
But the bill must have any or ideally both of the following clauses:
Mandate the transportation of migrants to liberal states whose governors, senators, representatives, and mayors advocate open borders. All lawmakers who do not vote for the bill, i.e., who advocate open borders, must be compelled to pay an additional tax to fund infrastructure in these liberal cities that will accommodate the newly arrived migrants. In addition to accommodation, these lawmakers must also contribute to funds for law enforcement, hospitals, and schools for migrants. This tax must not be restricted to lawmakers, but also to governors, mayors, and presidents who are proponents of open borders. This will be an ideal way for the Democrats to show they really care for the migrants.
The Democrats will have two choices, either vote for border security and pay nothing, or not vote for border security and fund the costs of migrants.
Let’s see how they vote.
Will a bill such as this ever be authored?
Very unlikely.
But one sincerely hopes some among the lawmakers at least try.
VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT
AND DEPORTATION TO GITMO
Other policies include a shift away from prioritizing the deportation of illegal immigrants. The Free Beacon last year reported on deportations plummeting by 90 percent under the Biden administration, meaning fewer illegal immigrants are now removed from the country than at any point in decades.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

Hillary Clinton’s Democratic party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat.
Immigration: Maintaining liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most.
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is giving businesses an additional 20,000 more foreign H-2B visa workers to hire for working class jobs in the United States even as nearly 13 million Americans remain jobless.

He continued, saying “In that time, the Biden administration has blamed an unprecedented surge of illegal immigration on all sorts of external factors, except their own sabotage of our nation’s immigration laws.” SPENCER LINDQUIST
Dem s give illegals welfare, taxpayer-funded health care, in-state tuition and protect them from deportation through sanctuary laws. In return, the illegals vote for Dem and the ballot measures the want. The illegals function as the Dem imported electoral college, canceling the vote of legitimate citizens and legal immigrants, blocking reform and keeping Dems in power. Maybe that is what Michael Bloomberg had in mind when he called California “ a great example for the rest of this country .”
LLOYD BILLINGSLEY
It is the single most dangerous piece of legislation before Congress. What I call H.R.1 is the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act.’ […] It’s the number one bill. It’s not about COVID; it’s not about vaccinations; it’s not about getting people back to work; it’s not about getting kids back to school. It is about ensuring that Democrats remain in power and control for the next 100 years. It is a radical bill. What does it do? It federalizes all elections. It strikes down every election reform protection at the state level. So photo ID laws — right now in a lot of states you’ve got to use photo ID to vote — ‘The Corrupt Politician Act’ strikes that down. It sets up automatic voter registration, which would result in millions of illegal immigrants, and criminals, and felons being able to vote. The Democrats believe if illegal immigrants and felons are voting, that benefits the Democrats and keeps them in power. Not only that, it mandates universal mail-in balloting, it mandates ballot harvesting. This is all designed to facilitate fraud. SEAN MORAN
Newsom Opposes Vote-by-Mail for Farm Workers; ‘Privately Seething’ over Biden Support AP Photo/Evan Vucci 3:16
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is again under fire from members of his own party, this time President Joe Biden, over his hesitancy to sign a bill that would encourage California farmworkers to unionize.
California Assembly Bill 2183 would make it easier for farmworkers to unionize and allow them to vote by mail in union elections. Biden is just the latest Democrat politician putting pressure on Newsom to sign the bill.
Biden said he “strongly” supports the farmworker bill in a brief statement issued just before Labor Day.
“In the state with the largest population of farmworkers, the least we owe them is an easier path to make a free and fair choice to organize a union,” Biden said .
“Government should work to remove – not erect – barriers to workers organizing,” the president added.
However, Newsom vetoed a similar bill last year, and farmworker activists fear AB 2183 will suffer the same fate after Newsom sent the bill back to the California legislature less than two weeks ago.
Newsom’s office is on record saying they “cannot support an untested mail-in election process that lacks critical provisions to protect the integrity of the election, and is predicated on an assumption that government cannot effectively enforce laws.”
The California legislature sent a revised version of the bill to Newsom’s desk for his signature, but it is uncertain whether he will veto it.
Newsom is “privately seething” over Biden’s endorsement of the bill, multiple people with knowledge of Newsom’s thinking told Politico .

Biden’s endorsement of AB 2183 came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) publicly urged Newsom to sign the bill.
“CA farmworkers provide for our families — but far too many can’t provide for theirs because they are exploited and don’t have a voice on the job,” Pelosi tweeted . “We can mend this injustice by expanding workers’ rights. I urge the governor to sign #AB2183 for the farmworkers and For The Children.”
Vice President Kamala Harris added pressure on Newsom, saying it is “long past due” for California to enact this legislation.
Of California’s 800,000 farmworkers, less than one percent are unionized, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further, more than 70 percent of California’s farmworkers are undocumented immigrants.
Although large unions like the United Farm Workers want Newsom to sign the legislation, farmers and business groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, are opposed to the bill.
“It essentially amounts to a forced union submission, because even the mail-in voting provision allows the labor organization representative to fill out the ballot,” Western Growers vice president of state government affairs Matthew Allen told Politico . “It’s really quite simple what the bill is doing. It’s eliminating a farmworker’s right to the secret-ballot election.”

Voter Fraud: The Bottom Line
As Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts notes in his introduction, the primary question addressed by Lucas’s book, The Myth of Voter Suppression. The Left's Assualt on Clean Elections is this: “[W]hy does the Democratic Party oppose free, fair, and credible elections?” The short answer the author provides is that Democrats are much better at cheating and rigging elections than Republicans. Tammany Hall, the Chicago Daley machine, and Missouri’s Pendergast organization provide three historical examples. That’s not to say Republicans never engage in electoral shenanigans, of which cases Lucas provides several examples. But it is Democrats who consistently oppose measures designed to increase election integrity -- measures that even a former Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, advocated in 2005 when serving on a bipartisan commission co-chaired by former GOP Secretary of State James Baker.
Two major recommendations of that commission were voter IDs and restrictions on mail-in voting, the latter being a process riddled with invitations to fraud, especially when corrupt voter rolls include dead persons, duplications, and folks who’ve moved elsewhere. Opportunities for fraud are multiplied when, as in California, ballot harvesting is permitted. Under this execrable practice (also known as vote trafficking) almost anyone can take custody of and deliver mail-in ballots to a mail box or voting receptacle -- a “chain of custody” nightmare that would have made Mayor Daley’s day in 1960.
By contrast, the top Democrat priority in 2021, HR-1 (mendaciously labeled a “voting rights” bill) would have eliminated most state voter ID laws, expanded ballot harvesting, mandated Election Day voter registration, and required no-excuse absentee voting in all states. Ironically, in 1977, first-term Delaware Senator Joe Biden opposed Election Day voter registration because it “could lead to a serious increase in voter fraud.” Fortunately, this “For the People” bill didn’t survive a Senate filibuster but, as Lucas explains, Democrats continue to press for legislation that would essentially federalize elections and thus make their legitimacy as questionable as the COVID-rationalized measures that plagued the 2020 election.
Lucas also notes that the whole idea of “voter suppression” is a myth designed to smear legal measures like voter IDs. No law actually mentions the term “voter suppression,” and the author cites numerous examples that debunk the Democratic narrative that ID laws diminish election participation. Indeed, most electoral evidence suggests ID laws actually increase participation and buttress voter confidence in election integrity. It is, of course, true that laws designed to increase election integrity do “suppress” fraud, which is doubtless a major reason Democrats oppose such laws that are common in Europe. Case in point: “Today, Democrats routinely call seeking an accurate accounting of eligible voters ‘suppression.’“ Such an accounting would obviously “suppress” the votes of 25,975 dead people who were discovered on Michigan’s voter rolls, stiffs who would obviously prefer to vote by mail.
A trip down memory lane reveals that political bosses have typically made arguments akin to those now proffered by the “voter suppression” crowd. Tammany Hall opposed cleaning up voting roles in New York City (where more votes were cast than there were available voters). That same corrupt Big Apple machine also “worked to get prisoners released to ensure they voted and even established a ‘naturalization mill’ to instantly turn immigrants coming off boats into voters.” Other strong-arm organizations campaigned against the secret ballot, which lessened their power to intimidate voters. Then there was 1864, when “Democrats tried to use mail-in voting to defeat Republican President Abraham Lincoln.” Today, the Brennan Center for Justice, along with the queen of the “voter suppression hysteria industrial complex,” Stacey Abrams, serve as the foremost Democratic voices for corrupt elections.
Lucas provides scores of examples of fraud that actually affected the outcome of elections, thus disproving the Democrat-Media mantra that fraud in American elections, and especially the 2020 election, is almost nonexistent. While Lucas doesn’t assert the 2020 POTUS election was stolen from President Trump, the examples he provides (including an eye-opening analysis by Professor John Lott of mail-in voting in adjacent, typically homogenous precincts) make it clear that that election was far from “the most secure” in American history. I should note that Lucas’ book is not and does not claim to be a thorough analysis of possible fraud in that election, but in my view the information he does provide indicates that its outcome could easily have been affected by the widespread use of mail-in ballots whose signatures weren’t carefully scrutinized and whose contents were frequently submitted for tabulation via vote harvesting.
Given this evidence plus a whole chapter listing organizations that provide an endless supply of money and energy for the Democrat HR-1 election fraud agenda, I question the brief assertion made in Lucas’s first chapter that neither voter fraud or voter suppression currently pose an existential threat to the republic. The $400,000,000 supposedly nonpartisan “Zuckerbucks” that went overwhelmingly to Democrat precincts is only one of many 2020 illegalities that makes this “existential” observation less than reassuring. Indeed, the conclusion I drew from reading Lucas’s scrupulously researched analysis of election laws and practices is that voter fraud (not voter suppression) is an existential threat to the republic right now.
The original Godfather movie is famous for the line, “Leave the gun; take the cannoli.” In this case I’d say, “Read the book but leave out the not-currently-an- existential-threat assessment.”

Lightfoot again blasted Abbott for sending the immigrants to Chicago, and called on him to “cooperate and collaborate” with the leaders of the cities where he is sending the migrants, which include Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.
Labor Sec’y Walsh: Worker Shortage Due to Lack of Immigration Reform a ‘Bigger Threat’ in Some Cases Than Inflation or Recession 2:24
On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Labor Secretary Marty Walsh argued that “we’re going to have to have a real serious conversation in this country about immigration and immigration reform” in order to address the shortage of workers which is, in some cases, “a bigger threat to our economy than inflation is at this point, than a recession.”
Walsh stated, “Well, the first thing is we don’t have enough workers in the United States of America to fill all of the job openings that are out there. Right now, at this moment in time, more Americans are working in this country than in any other period in the history of America. So, when you think about the amount of jobs and people that are working, it’s a really incredible number. The problem is that we don’t have enough people. There [are] about five million people, I think, still, roughly…that are either looking for work or just not in the workforce, for a whole host of reasons, illnesses, child care, whatever it might be. So, at some point, we’re going to have to have a real serious conversation in this country about immigration and immigration reform. And when I talk to big business in America and I talk to businesses, every single one of them, to a person, says to me, we need to — we’re going to have to think about this long-term and how do we deal with these issue[s].”
He added, “I think, in this country, when you think about our economy, you think about our country, there [are] two sides in immigration. We don’t want immigration — or we’d like to see legal immigration. The problem is, in America, if we don’t have workers to fill these jobs, it’s going to hurt our economy overall. And if you have six million jobs, let’s just play with that number right now, let’s assume six million jobs that, if everyone went to work in America tomorrow that was eligible — or not even eligible, but they went to work, we have six million job openings. As you just said, it’s going to hurt business in our country, it’s going to hurt our economy, and in some cases, I think it’s a bigger threat to our economy than inflation is at this point, than a recession.”

Democrat Gov. Pritzker Promises ‘Emergency Housing’ for Migrants as Rents Skyrocket for Chicagoans Nathan Posner/Anadolu Agency/Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images 3:00
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is promising “emergency housing” for migrants bused from Texas even as rents in Chicago have skyrocketed for residents.
Last week, Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) started busing border crossers to the sanctuary city of Chicago after sending thousands over the last few months to the sanctuary cities of Washington, DC and New York City.
In response, Pritzker is promising migrants “emergency housing” as well as “health care screenings, the offer of COVID-19 vaccines and … additional legal resettlement assistance.”
Meanwhile, as Breitbart News has reported, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot has called Abbott’s sending of the migrant buses “racist and xenophobic” along with “immoral” and “unpatriotic.”
Chicago Mayor's Office / Facebook Pritzker’s pledge of emergency housing for migrants comes as Chicagoans face sky-high rents and housing costs. The most recent analysis shows that Chicagoans are paying about 20 percent more on rent this year compared to last year.
Today, the average rent in Chicago is more than $2,900, which is nearly 20 percent higher than the cost of rent at the same time last year. Rents in Chicago have increased so much that tenants are forming unions to fight their landlords and the city.
Real estate investors are some of the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration to the United States. Immigration-driven population growth, set to bring the United States population to more than 400 million by 2060, is likely to send housing prices even higher.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Housing Economics found that “increases in immigration into a metropolitan statistical area are linked with rising rents and home prices in that metropolitan statistical area and neighboring metropolitan statistical areas.”
As legal immigration brings over a million legal immigrants to the United States annually, as well as more than a million more on temporary work visas, President Joe Biden’s administration has also implemented an expansive Catch and Release network where every month thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are sent all over the nation to await court hearings.
In the meantime, those new arrivals need housing.
While it is unclear exactly where border crossers and illegal aliens are resettling, the administration’s Alternative to Detention (ATD) program gives insight into the level of mass immigration into each city coinciding with record-high housing costs.
In August, the Biden administration had more than 13,000 border crossers and illegal aliens in Chicago on the ATD program. In November 2020 fewer than 6,600 border crossers and illegal aliens had been sent to Chicago on the ATD program.

Texas Republican on Busing Illegal Aliens: 'It's Amazing What Happens When It's in Your Own Back Yard' A busload of illegal border-crossers arrives in New York City from El Paso, Texas on August 29, 2022. (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images)
(CNSNews.com) - "Welcome to what we have been living with for years and why you have heard so many of us that are in border states speaking out against all of the illegal migrants that are coming over our border," Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) told Fox News on Sunday morning.
She said the Biden administration, by shedding the policies that helped to control immigration during Donald Trump's presidency, is essentially inviting people to come here illegally. And she defended Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to send busloads of illegal immigrants to New York, Washington and now Chicago -- all of them sanctuary cities.
Democrats, including Biden, "just don't care," she said:
"I mean, they're saying we don't care to the human traffickers that are coming over, to the sex traffickers that are coming over. They're saying they don't care to the people who are coming through Mexico who are being raped on a daily basis.
"They don't care. They don't even bother to go down there and see it. They don't bother to discuss, what are the plans to be able to stop it? It's not until the people who have supported the Democratic Party, like Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago, start speaking about it, that they will actually even address it.
"And then you think about what's going on in those cities, the increase in crime that we're seeing, the increase in deaths that we're seeing -- that has to be addressed, because you're right. It used to be border states.
"Now every single country, every single state in this country is a border state. And you know what? If we have to have buses that are going to those states and going to those cities to prove it, it's amazing what happens when it's in your own backyard."
Van Duyne called the criticism aimed at Republican Gov. Abbott from big city mayors -- Lori Lightfoot in Chicago, Eric Adams in New York, and Muriel Bower in D.C. -- "hypocritical."
"We are looking at increases in fentanyl. We are looking at increases in crime. We are looking at increases on our -- on our public systems that we can't handle. And I think Governor Abbott, by sending them to places like New York and D.C. and Chicago, who are the most critical, who are the most hateful on our leadership here who's speaking out against them, are now getting a taste of what we feel.
"And you look at what happened in New York. We had 900 illegal immigrants that went there, and they wanted to declare a state of emergency. Well, folks, we have had over two million that have come in, in this last year alone. How do you think the rest of us feel?
"I just find it oddly hypocritical, but at least they're now having to deal with what we see on a daily basis."
Van Duyne noted that illegal immigration is at record levels under President Biden. Since February 2021, the first full month of Joe Biden's presidency, 3,385,016 people are known to have entered the country illegally, based on "encounter" statistics reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
As the chart below shows, that number includes 1,946,780 so far in Fiscal Year 2022, which ends at the end of this month.
"When you take away every tool in the toolbox that Customs and Border Patrol has, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement have at their disposal, when you actively go after our remain-in-Mexico policy that was working, when you actively destroy the policies that were set up, like our Title 42 under the last administration, that were controlling the number of people coming over our border, it's not an assumption that you're going to have more people.
"It's an invitation. And we're seeing it on a daily basis," Van Duyne said.

WHAT THE FUK? CHICAGO IS ONE MORE DEMOCRAT PARTY SANCTUARY CITY!
Chicago Panics Over 125 Illegals Bused in From Texas Tue Sep 6, 2022 6 people were shot and killed, and 41 wounded so far in Chicago's Labor Day shootings. But don't bother Mayor Lightfoot with that nonsense. When she's not tearing down statues of American historic figures, like her counterparts in Washington D.C. and NYC, she's freaking out over 125 illegal aliens being bused in from Texas.
Yes, you read that right. It's like 2 minutes worth of illegals at the border.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling on Chicagoans to help get migrants arriving from Texas on their feet after another busload of migrants arrived Sunday from Texas.
The immigrants arrived in Chicago about 4 p.m. Sunday at Union Station, Lightfoot said at a hastily scheduled news conference. Their arrival brings the total number of immigrants bused to Chicago by Abbott since Wednesday to 125 people.
That's less than three times as many people as were shot in Chiraq over the weekend. And Gollum takes that in stride.
City officials launched on Sunday a new website to allow Chicagoans to donate supplies and money to help the immigrants: chicago.gov/support. Those interested in volunteering to helping the immigrants can register online.
A whole website for 125 people.
Lightfoot again blasted Abbott for sending the immigrants to Chicago, and called on him to “cooperate and collaborate” with the leaders of the cities where he is sending the migrants, which include Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.
“He is manufacturing a human crisis,” Lightfoot said.
Chicago has always been a human crisis.
Texas, Arizona and border communities have spent decades asking, pleading and demanding that the federal government notify them and provide local authorities some control over the situation. That's what Lightfoot is demanding, seemingly clueless that no one s being allowed that.
But you can't help but think that Adams and Lightfoot are overplaying their parts. Faced with intractable crises caused by their radical movement, they're relishing a crisis that they can blame on Texas and the virtue signaling that comes with it.

BLACK Man accused in Memphis jogger's kidnapping now faces murder charge
Watch: Teen Girl Assaults Pregnant Mom Pushing Children in Stroller During Alleged Attempted Robbery WA Police Force 1:41
Disturbing security camera footage shows a 15-year-old girl assaulting a pregnant mother who was pushing her two children in a stroller.
The wild incident happened on Monday in Ashfield, Western Australia. Local authorities say the suspect was allegedly attempting to steal the 37-year-old mother’s purse, according to PerthNow.com.
At the start of the footage, two teens are seen riding on scooters before a shot cuts to one of the teens, who is wearing a grey sweater, approaching the mother from behind and attacking her.
The unidentified 15-year-old is seen pulling on the mother’s hair and dragging her to the ground while the stroller tips over with the children still inside.
At one point, the teen hits the mother in the head before dragging her by the hair again on the pavement before they both disappear behind a fence.
According to News.com.au via the New York Post , the mother only suffered minor cuts and bruises. However, she fell on her stomach, leaving police concerned about her unborn child’s well-being.
The Western Australian Police Force released additional footage of authorities arresting the suspect at a house in Ashfield.
As video footage shows authorities taking the suspect into custody, crying can be heard in the background while someone can be heard swearing at authorities – presumably the suspect.
Police say the 15-year-old girl was charged with attempted robbery and is due to appear in a magistrates court on September 13.

Fifty-five people were shot, 11 of them fatally, during Labor Day weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News kept tabs on the violence as the weekend progressed, noting 17 people were shot Friday into Sunday morning, four of them fatally.
After another 24 hours, the time-frame of Friday into Monday morning, the number of shooting victims had jumped to 46 with a total of seven fatalities.
On Tuesday morning, ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times pointed out that the number of shooting victims was at 55 for the entire holiday weekend, with 11 fatalities.
One of the most heinous attacks of the weekend occurred Sunday night, when 20-year-old David DeVeaux Jr., and 18-year-old Jason Mundo, were shot by suspects carrying multiple firearms “in the 8600-block of South Kingston Avenue.” Police believe no less than two suspects “armed with a rifle and two handguns walked up and opened fire” on DeVeaux and Mundo, killing them.
DeVeaux’s family had just been to the grocery store to get supplies for their Labor Day barbeque. They said DeVeaux walked outside to help bring the groceries into the house and that is when the attack occurred.
David DeVeaux Sr., said, “He came out and brought in the groceries that we were going to do for the barbecue today, and that was the last time I saw him.”
The Sun-Times ‘ database of Chicago homicides shows 461 people were killed January 1, 2022, through September 5, 2022.

Police: Body of Missing Heiress, Teacher Eliza Fletcher Found — Suspect Charged with Murder St. Mary's Episcopal School 2:38
The body of heiress and kindergarten teacher Eliza Fletcher, 34, was discovered on Tuesday morning, according to the Memphis Police Department. The recent discovery comes after Sunday’s arrest of a suspect in connection to the case whose charges have been upgraded to first-degree murder.
A body was discovered at 5:07 p.m. on Monday in the 1600 block of Victor, approximately 7.5 miles away from where she was abducted at the University of Memphis campus. Police confirmed Fletcher as the deceased victim at 6:49 a.m on Tuesday.
Police announced on Tuesday that Cleotha Abston, 38, has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree murder in perpetration of kidnapping in addition to his kidnapping and tampering with evidence charges on Monday in connection with Fletcher’s abduction.
Abston was arrested on Sunday evening after police discovered a pair of Champion slide sandals within the vicinity of where Fletcher was abducted that had DNA matching the 38-year-old suspect, NBC News reported, citing the arrest affidavit. He was reportedly seen wearing them the night before the abduction.
During the investigation into Abston, his brother, Mario Abston, 36, was arrested and charged with drug and firearm offenses, according to police. However, he is not believed to have been involved in the investigation.
After his arrest, Abston did not reveal the location of the suspect, Fox 13 Memphis reported via the affidavit.
Police say Fletcher was abducted on Friday morning at approximately 4:20 a.m. by an individual in a dark-colored SUV – a GMC Terrain – while she was jogging at the University of Memphis campus at 3800 Block of Central Avenue.
Police say that the 34-year-old female victim was approached by the suspect and forced into the vehicle.
According to the affidavit, Cleotha Abston was seen by witnesses allegedly cleaning a dark-colored GMC Terrain with floor cleaner hours after Fletcher had been abducted.
The 38-year-old is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.
Before her tragic death, Fletcher was married to her husband Richie and had two young children, according to the Daily Mail. Along with being a kindergarten teacher, she was the granddaughter of Joseph Orgill III, the founder of Orgill Inc., a billion-dollar hardware company.

An Unsolved Murder, Corruption, Racism, the IRS and the NAACP Mon Sep 5, 2022
Our own Matthew Vadum updates us about some of the latest shenanigans going on at the North Carolina NAACP which just lost its tax-exempt status.
The tax-exempt status of the influential North Carolina branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was automatically revoked by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after the non-profit group failed to file required returns with the tax agency for three consecutive years.
The loss of status by the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP took place May 15 but did not become public knowledge until the Raleigh-based News & Observer reported on it days ago. The state chapter is known nationally for suing over voter ID requirements, which it claims disenfranchise minorities and poor people.
Paperwork is probably racist. It's usually white.
But the story gets much weirder from here on in. Da’Quan Love, currently running things, blamed Spearman for not filing the paperwor k.
When asked if Love had seen anything potentially criminal in the finances, he said it’s too early to say. "You know, I’m going to defer to our audit that continues to be ongoing," he said.
Prior to his death in July, Spearman filed a lawsuit against several members of the national NAACP. The defendants in that case recently filed a motion to dismiss, offering a copy of Spearman’s death certificate as a court exhibit.
So far, a cause of death has not been released and according to the death certificate, the medical examiner is still investigating
It sounds like Spearman had been murdered.
The chapter has been rocked by internal dissension for some time. Chapter president Rev. T. Anthony Spearman was accused of financial misconduct and was defeated in chapter elections last year. Spearman, 71, who became president in 2017, was found dead in his home on July 19. Authorities are still investigating the death.
In June, Spearman sued several state and national NAACP officials, claiming they had defamed him and conspired to oust him from the presidency because of his “growing national profile” and because he supported a former NAACP employee who claimed another leader in the group sexually harassed her, according to WRAL-TV. He also claimed he was falsely accused of misappropriating chapter funds.
There was apparently blood everywhere .
An unidentified man told dispatchers for a North Carolina sheriff's office that “there's blood everywhere” at the home of the former state president of the NAACP who was found dead earlier this week, according to a recording of the call.
Who was this "unidentified man"?
Dispatch records indicate the call initially came over as a cardiac/respiratory call.
Cardiac calls don't usually spread blood "everywhere". And Spearman had recently been assaulted at gunpoint in his own home.
Another 911 call about a week before Spearman's death indicated an armed robbery took place at his house then, although it's unclear if that's connected to his death.
According to audio from a 911 call on July 13 and a magistrate’s order, Spearman alleged that a man asked for $2,000, which Spearman said he didn’t have. The man is alleged to have taken Spearman’s cellphone and tried to use an app to transfer money to his account.
Spearman said the man pulled a gun and when Spearman grabbed it, a shot was fired. Spearman said he wasn't hurt.
Records also show the man hit Spearman with the gun before he fled with his cellphone.
According to a magistrate’s order, the man was arrested and charged the same day with robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to kill. He was later released on a $15,000 bond.
Assault with intent to kill and then a laughable $15,000 bond release. But this is the sort of pro-crime policy that the NAACP supports. Did it lead to Spearman's death?
But if Spearman were around today, he would be calling everyone a bunch of racists .
The president of the state chapter of the NAACP is leveling accusations of racism and white supremacy against auditor Beth Wood and state Sen. Lisa Barnes, R-Nash, over Wood’s investigation of corruption in the Rocky Mount City Council and Barnes’ proposed legislation intended to address it.
“The truth is that Beth Woods and Lisa Barnes, a Democrat and a Republican, respectively, are operating tactics and strategies out of the old 1898 racist playbook,” state NAACP president Anthony Spearman wrote in a memo posted on the group’s Facebook page and sent to the N.C. State Conference of Branches of the NAACP.
Wood’s investigation, conducted by the Office of the State Auditor, found that multiple city officials prevented efforts to collect $47,704 in utility bills owed by council member Andre Knight. Records show the councilman’s debt was wiped clean by the city-run utility system, with direct involvement from the city manager’s office
This week, Spearman compared Wood and Barnes to violent white supremacists who overthrew the black Republican municipal government in Wilmington a century ago.
“The truth is that Beth Woods was summoned to Rocky Mount by a network of white nationalists who conspired with City employees who have been infuriated with the appointment of senior-level Black City officials.” wrote Spearman, saying the two have “created a bipartisan effort to stop the will and the impact of the black vote in Rocky Mount.”
“The N.C. NAACP has carefully followed the frequent visits that State Auditor Beth Woods has made to Rocky Mount to defend her position. She lunches and chats with well-known Trump sympathizers which is her right,” his memo reads.
Spearman also accuses Wood and Barnes of targeting “Rocky Mount to be this century’s Tulsa, OK,” apparently referring to the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.
You can see why Spearman hated filling out paperwork.
This is all just the usual culture of corruption that you see in urban political machines and their allied radical groups that the media won't talk about.
Black Lives Matter Executive Accused of ‘Siphoning’ $10 Million from Donors AP Photo/Brynn Anderson 3:27
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (GNF) executive Shalomyah Bowers has been accused of “siphoning” off more than $10 million from donors.
The grassroots wing of the far-left activist organization (BLM Grassroots) alleged last week Bowers “siphoned” the money to pay his consulting firm after he joined the board of the foundation.
“Bowers is accused of paying the cash to his own Bowers Consulting Firm, and diverting resources from a new group called Black Lives Matter Grassroots, Inc.,” according to the New York Post . “BLM Grassroots was launched three months ago, records show. It claims to represent BLM chapters across the country.”
Attorney Walter Mosley, who founded the grassroots group, said in the lawsuit filed that Bowers “could not let go of his personal piggy bank.”
“Instead, he continued to betray the public trust by self-dealing and breaching his fiduciary duties. Instead of using the donations for its intended purposes, Mr. Bowers diverted these donations to his own coffers and intentionally took calculated steps to prevent those same resources from being used by BLM for on-the-ground movement work,” the lawsuit claimed.

Bowers has dismissed that lawsuit as little more than a “power move by someone hellbent on achieving power and control” of the Black Lives Matter movement, adding activists headed by California State University Pan-African Studies professor Melina Abdullah have been working to steal power away from the BLM foundation board of directors.
“It’s the most insane thing I’ve read in a court pleading, and it’s signed under penalty of perjury when they know it’s a lie,” Bowers told the Post while again proclaiming his innocence.
Bowers noted the foundation recently underwent audits that disprove the allegations brought against him.
“We are in the process of correcting things, of fixing things and dealing with disgruntled people who want to take over the group,” he said.
Bowers is just the latest high-ranking member of Black Lives Matter (BLM) to be accused of misappropriating funds.
In May, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted to using the group’s $6 million property to host private parties after she had previously resigned from the organization amid scrutiny over her spending of charitable funds. As Breitbart News reported at the time:
One of those events took place in January 2021, where she apparently sought “refuge at the property amid threats on her life.” However, at that time, she chose to host an inauguration party celebrating the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, along with roughly 15 people, “including BLM Los Angeles chapter members and other prominent movement supporters,” according to the AP.
Two months later, Cullors threw her son a birthday party at the BLM property, but she told the outlet “she intended to pay a rental fee to the foundation.”
Tax documents filed with the IRS also showed that Cullors would spend lavish funds for her brother and child’s father to perform various services.
“The tax documents as seen by numerous media outlets reveal BLM paid a company owned by Damon Turner, the father of Cullors’ child, nearly $970,000 to help “produce live events” and provide other “creative services,'” noted Breitbart News .
Seventeen people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
NBC 5 reports the weekend’s first fatal shooting occurred at 6:30 p.m. Friday, when a 24-year-old man was shot multiple times while standing on the sidewalk “in the 4400 block of West Jackson.” He died at the scene.
The weekend’s second fatal shooting occurred just after midnight Saturday, when a 31-year-old man was shot in the chest “in the 1300 block of North Hudson.” He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times notes the weekend’s third shooting fatality was discovered at 3 a.m. Saturday, when a 22-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds was found “in the 6000 block of South Racine Avenue.” He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A 28-year-old man was shot and fatally wounded at 3:50 p.m. Saturday, following an argument at a gas station near “the 700 block of East 103rd Street.”
The 28-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he died.
On September 1, 2022, WTTW reported 448 people had been killed in Chicago this year. Sixty-six people were killed in Chicago during August alone.

Why Shoplifting is Getting out of Control in California | Vern Pierson
Missing Teacher Eliza Fletcher’s Alleged Kidnapper Left His Sandals Behind Suspect Cleotha Abston is in custody, but Fletcher is still missing.
Updated Sep. 04, 2022 1:36PM ET / Published Sep. 04, 2022 7:45AM ET
Memphis Police/Sheby County Jail
Listen to article 3 minutes
A 38-year-old man who spent much of his life in prison was charged with kidnapping teacher Eliza Fletcher —after his sandals, with his DNA, were found at the scene of the violent abduction, Memphis Police said.
Fletcher, 34, a married mom of two boys whose grandfather was a wealthy philanthropist and business magnate, was still missing as suspect Cleotha “Pookie” Abston was held in jail ahead of a Tuesday arraignment.
A police affidavit laid out how investigators identified Abston as a suspect in Friday’s kidnapping, which was caught on surveillance video—and a pair of Champion slides played a major part.
According to the document, just before 7 a.m. on Friday, a passerby found Fletcher’s cellphone and the sandals on the street where the prekindergarten teacher was jogging when she was forced into a black GMC Terrain.
Forensic investigators matched DNA on the slides to Abston, 38, and then detectives found surveillance video that showed he was wearing the Champions a day before the kidnapping.
The owner of the cleaning service where Abston worked gave detectives his phone number, and police were able to use pings to place the phone at the kidnapping scene, the affidavit says.
When police showed up to arrest Abston, the GMC Terrain with a tell-tale broken taillight was parked at the home. He tried to flee but was taken into custody.
Investigators learned that Abston had been seen at his brother Mario’s home after the abduction, and police say that Mario told them he saw Cleotha cleaning the inside of the Terrain, washing his clothes, and “acting very strange.”
Cleotha Abston “declined to provide investigators with the location of the victim,” the affidavit says.
While it appears Mario Abston was helpful to police, he was also arrested, though not in connection with the abduction. Instead, he was charged with possession of fentanyl and heroin and with having a gun as a felon.
It appears that Cleotha Abston has a lengthy criminal history that began when he was a teenager.
According to the Memphis Flyer , in 2001, he pleaded guilty to kidnapping a local attorney and forcing him to withdraw money from an ATM; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. State prison records show he was released in 2020.
“Eliza Fletcher has not been located at this time. MPD Investigators and officers, along with our local and federal partners, continue searching for Mrs. Fletcher,” Memphis cops said.
Fletcher graduated from the Hutchinson School in Memphis in 2006 and got a teaching degree from Belmont University. She has been married for eight years.
Her family has offered a $50,000 reward for her safe return. Fletcher’s late grandfather was co-owner Orgill, the hardware supply giant started by his family that racks up $3 billion in sales a year.
Another BLM leader accused of fraud
The New York Post reported that Black Lives Matter leader, Shalomyah Bowers, purportedly siphoned more than $10 million of donors' money.
A lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court claims Bowers treated BLM foundation funds as his “personal piggy bank” and acted as a “rogue administrator” and a “middle man turned usurper.”
Bowers, who became head of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in April, is accused of paying millions to his own Bowers Consulting Firm and diverting resources from a new group called Black Lives Matter Grassroots, Inc.
BLM Grassroots was founded in California in May by Walter Mosley, the lawyer who also drafted the lawsuit against Bowers .
BLM Global Network Foundation paid the Bowers Consulting Firm $2,167,894 in 2021, per federal tax filings.
The lawsuit also claims that while BLM activists were on the street risking their lives, Bowers was in his cushy offices devising schemes of fraud and misrepresentation which broke the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM.
While Bowers is claiming innocence , it would not be surprising if he did indeed profit from BLM. Despite their claims, BLM seems to me founded for solely pecuniary gains.
BLM is a perfect instance of how modern liberalism functions as an extremely lucrative business model. BLM merely expanded on the extortion business model of veteran race hustler Al Sharpton, which is ‘give us your money else we’ll brand you racist,’ but did it on a much larger scale. Al Sharpton must feel like a worn-out pair of shoes in the bottom drawer of a shoe case.

“Black Lives Matter ” began as a trend on social media, in 2013 following Trayvon Martin's death. Soon it evolved into a slogan used by ‘protestors’ across the US.
In the death of George Floyd in 2020, BLM saw their biggest opportunity to take the ‘movement’ to the next level and become the sole arbiters in matters of race. In parallel, BLM carried out 'protests', which were actually riots all over America.
Dozens of people were killed and numerous others injured and thousands of businesses and properties , many minority-owned , were looted, torched, or otherwise vandalized.
Axios revealed that the total insured property losses incurred during the riots are between $1 to $2 billion dollars . The actual number including losses of uninsured property must be considerably higher.
That must not have mattered to BLM. For BLM, the riots were a promotional event that caused their coffers to be overflowing.
BLM was supported by the Democrats and their propagandists in the media because they could blame the riots on Trump and benefit from it politically. The Democrats, too, saw this as an opportunity to raise funds.
The noise created such a frenzy that anybody who was anybody began donating to BLM
Hollywood stars such as Angelina Jolie, Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Reynolds, etc. donated to BLM.
Some stars even bailed out BLM rioters who were taken into custody.
Big tech firms such as Google committed $12 million. Facebook and Amazon donated $10 million. Apple pledged $100 million , and so did Walmart. Target pledged $10 million while Home Depot announced $1 million .
BLM didn’t make any verifiable promises; their goal was unstated, esoteric, and symbolic which ensured they could keep collecting without any oversight.
Rich donors didn't verify how their donations were spent. Their sole purpose of donating was to be regarded as among 'the good ones'. It was also like protection money to prevent BLM thugs from banging at their doors.
In the end, BLM managed to make $90m in just one year over the death of George Floyd.
Such was their brand recognition that BLM even began to sell merchandise . Those who couldn’t donate millions would parade around in BLM T-Shirts to prove their virtuousness.
So, what became of the money?
Last April, the NY Post reported that BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, then BLM's executive director, spent $3.2 million on various real estate properties across the US.
There were also reports of transactions where BLM transferred money to a Canadian nonprofit managed by the wife of Cullors in order to buy a $3 million house .
New York Magazine reported that in late 2020, BLM spent $6 million on a 6,500-square-feet Southern California mansion .
Although the property had originally been bought for $3.1million, it was transferred to the Delaware company for $5.8million. The reason for the disparity between these two figures is perfectly obvious.
Like most modern left-wingers, BLM claimed its mission is dismantling capitalism. But again, like most modern leftists, they have no qualms about enjoying the luxuries of free market capitalism.
Despite claiming to be a Marxist organization, BLM dodged its taxes. It failed to file taxes for 2020 when it raised millions after George Floyd’s death. It also didn’t disclose its donations and expenditures, raising legal and ethical red flags.
The millions raised could have been invested in education, training, hospitals, gyms, sports complexes, rehabilitation centers or to pay legal assistance for those in need.
But nothing of the kind occurred because the sole focus of BLM founders appears to be themselves. BLM, despite their questionable use of donors’ money, will never face much antipathy from the public. There are those who are still mortified to call them out publicly for the fear of being branded, racist. There are some who are truly gullible who think the intentions of BLM are noble and the allegations are a result of White Supremacists' fabrications
So, what is BLM's Legacy?
Beyond abusing donated funds and causing destruction worth billions, the BLM movement has done great damage to the fabric of the nation.
They have diminished the significance of the terms such as ‘racist’. No longer is the allegation taken seriously; the beneficiaries of this are real racists such as Joe Biden.
Also, BLM via their propaganda must have convinced a section of African Americans that their country is systemically racist, hence persecution is inevitable irrespective of education or talent or hard work. Losses can be recouped and property can be rebuilt but the destruction of hope is usually permanent.
It breeds cynicism and pessimism that always has a deleterious effect on society.
All those who supported BLM perhaps out of fear are also to blame for this.
In the end, Shalomyah Bowers may well be just another parasite feeding off the gravy train, there will doubtlessly be more, and worse they are unlikely to be punished.

So, we have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media -- threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with gasoline.

During the summer of 2020, BLM and Antifa wrought violence and did billions of dollars in damage across America. The Democrat left supported those riots and raised money to bail out the perpetrators no matter what they had done. Our media, of course, supported the rioters too; they love nothing better than exacerbating an already-explosive situation. The media do not investigate the obvious possibility that the rioters were recruited and paid to do what they do . Ask one of them why they are rioting and you will get a blank look. They may be doing it for a paycheck, not principles or ideology.
How You Get the Left to Talk Honestly About Black Crime A disturbing look at the FBI’s data on race and animal-cruelty offenses.
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/06/americas-black-crime-tidal-wave-how-you.html
But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.
‘ These figures are even more glaring when one considers pet-ownership rates. If blacks owned pets at rates double their own population, their cruelty offense-rates would be less of a concern. But this is not the case. White ownership rates have been shown to be double , even triple , that of blacks, meaning the latter’s propensity for animal cruelty is actually far higher than what’s showing in the FBI’s figures.

As for interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it. Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, excluding homicide, between blacks
and whites, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on
whites, while whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Anti-cop activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect.
As it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had nothing to do with his activism.
It’s worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.
A sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and seventeen.
In 2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016 who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville 22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.
Why did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the 2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society. The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal, resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a white supremacist symbol, from official sites.
If Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on American streets.

Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime
By John Dale Dunn
Dr. Williams is a well known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated columnist. In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush Limbaugh radio program. He is almost like family to me, and I have benefited from his essays and books over the years. This past week, I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue. What got Dr. Williams going was the article by Matthew DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."
Dr. Williams confirms that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."
Dr. Williams points out teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many, particularly Colin Flaherty , whose investigative reports appear frequently (more than 100) at American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media, politicians, criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and property.
Referencing the Wright and DeLisi report, Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites, for example, and he points out the silliness of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than criminality has decimated the black community. He favorably quotes Wright and DeLisi when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality was to prey on their neighbors."
Dr. Williams returns to a theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and law-abiding. "The strong character of black people is responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ... [T]oday's conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated yesteryear."
My regret is there aren't enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of liberal chatterbox experts.

A man is accused of killing his partner and his stepson, and raping a young woman over the span of two days at a Lake County campground.
Deputies said Justin Lamar Jones killed his partner with a “mini sledgehammer” on Tuesday night.
“It appears the first victim, who he refers to as his wife, his significant other, there was an argument and somehow it turned into something violent and that’s when he killed her with what is described as a mini sledgehammer,” said Lt. Fred Jones with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Then when her 17-year-old son, Ty Finister, found out his mother had been murdered, deputies said he returned to the Thousand Trails Resort on Wednesday where he was held down and also beaten to death with a hammer.

“Brutal” and “bloody” are the words deputies used to describe what they saw at the Thousand Trails Resort when they arrived.
“You know in 25 years of doing this right here, this is probably one of the worst,” Lt. Fred Jones said.

Deputies said the young woman who survived tried to stop Jones from killing Finister. But investigators said Jones tied her up, put tape over her mouth and eyes and then raped her for what deputies believe could have been several hours before she was able to escape.
Jones was later spotted in a Publix parking lot off Highway 27 about 10 miles from the resort. Deputies said he tried to run but was quickly captured by investigators.
Deputies said Jones confessed to the crimes.

Young Black Men 23X As Likely To Die By Gun Homicides Than Young White Men | VDARE Video Bulletin
Kamala-Backed Bail Fund Puts Murderer on the Street Vice president called for donations to Minnesota Freedom Fund amid George Floyd riots
Josh Christenson • August 29, 2022 6:10 pmA Minnesota bail fund championed by Vice President Kamala Harris helped free a repeat felon now charged with murder.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund on Thursday acknowledged it helped secure the release of Shawn Michael Tillman, who in May shot and killed a passenger on a rail platform in St. Paul. Harris promoted the Freedom Fund on Twitter during the George Floyd riots in 2020, helping the group raise $35 million in a matter of weeks, according to the Washington Post .
Freedom Fund executive directors Mirella Ceja-Orozco and Elizer Darris defended the group's decision to post Tillman's bail in a statement Thursday, saying, "It is neither just nor effective to respond to violence by denying bail and preemptively punishing people who are disproportionately poor, Black, brown, and Indigenous."
Tillman's criminal record includes multiple counts of indecent exposure, as well as assault and unlawful possession of a firearm, court records show. He is now in custody with bail set at $2 million.
When reached for comment, the Freedom Fund directed the Washington Free Beacon to its statement.
Tillman's most recent felony conviction was in November 2018 for indecent exposure in the presence of a minor. He had seven prior counts of indecent exposure at the time. Ceja-Orozco and Darris said convictions play into their decision to fund those charged with crimes. They did not list any of Tillman's past convictions.
Tillman is not the first person to commit murder after being bailed out by the Freedom Fund. The group helped free a man charged with domestic abuse last year. Weeks later, he murdered another man in a road rage incident, the Free Beacon reported.
The group also shelled out $75,000 in cash to release Jaleel Stallings, who was charged in May 2020 with attempted murder after shooting at police during the Floyd riots.
Minneapolis saw the highest number of homicides last year since the mid-1990s.
Not Even NFL Players Are Safe in Muriel Bowser’s DC After thief shoots Commanders running back, mayor blames 'wanton use of a firearm'
Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) / Getty Images Karl Salzmann • August 29, 2022 1:50 pm
Washington Commanders rookie Brian Robinson was shot on Sunday while on the streets of Washington, D.C.
Two men attempted to rob the running back after he left a store on H Street, though police have not yet said whether the men were attempting to carjack Robinson’s vehicle, ESPN reported . While Robinson was struggling with one of the assailants, the other shot him in the leg. Both men then fled the scene. While Robinson remains in the hospital, his injuries are not life-threatening, multiple sources reported.
"Surgery went well! Thanks for the prayers! God is great!" Robinson wrote on Instagram.
Carjackings in the district have skyrocketed under Mayor Muriel Bowser (D.), who in 2020 publicly sided with Black Lives Matter protesters. Bowser in March said a carjacker who murdered a doctor "probably didn't intend to kill anybody." According to a February Washington Post poll, 73 percent of D.C. voters say Bowser has done a poor job of combating crime.
Bowser on Monday blamed the use of a gun for the shooting of Robinson, the Post reported.
"What we saw in this case and others is just a wanton use of a firearm that hurts somebody," the mayor said .
The news comes days after Bowser faced pushback for banning unvaccinated children from attending school. The mayor's ban will likely hurt the district's black students, nearly half of whom are unvaccinated, the Washington Free Beacon reported .
Landlord Problems: Illinois Dem Pays Thousands in Rent to Cocaine-Pushing Butcher Rep. Danny K. Davis rents his Chicago office from a convicted drug pusher
Rep. Danny K. Davis (D., Ill.) and cocaine / Getty Images and Wikimedia Commons Robert Schmad • August 16, 2022 5:00 amRep. Danny K. Davis (D., Ill.) rents his district office from a convicted cocaine dealer who was once affiliated with a Chicago drug ring, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon .
Since January 2017, Davis's campaign account has cut regular $600 checks for "office rent" to Mario's Butcher Shop, FEC records show. The shop, which is registered as a corporation with the state, lists Mariano "Mario" Lettieri and his wife as the sole members of its board of directors and was at the center of Lettieri's 1990 conviction for drug trafficking.
Lettieri, whom the Chicago Tribune described as "reputedly tied" to a "crime syndicate," was sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison after authorities identified him as the primary supplier of cocaine to a major Chicago drug ring led by an ex-cop. The Drug Enforcement Administration reported that Lettieri trafficked as much as 80 pounds of cocaine over a six-month period. Lettieri also allowed heroin to be packaged in his butcher shop's boiler room and used "rib-eye steaks" as a code word when discussing drug prices.
Lettieri is an odd landlord for Davis, who has long championed efforts to fight drug abuse. Davis in 2006 called for $4 million in emergency aid funds to be allocated to Cook County to address the growing heroin problem in the area. Last year, Davis announced that he had formed a coalition of drug prevention organizations in Chicago to help address the growing opioid crisis. He told the local press that "there is no part of Chicago that is worse hit than the West Side." The West Side of Chicago is where Lettieri ran his drug operation in the 1980s.
Tumia Romero, Davis's chief of staff, would not directly address the congressman's payments to Lettieri but told the Free Beacon that Davis believes in giving people "second chances."
Davis is no stranger to controversy. In 2005, he took a trip to Sri Lanka funded by the Tamil Tigers, an ethnic terrorist group from that country. He is a close ally of noted anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and once participated in a religious ceremony with Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the controversial Unification Church. Moon, who died in 2012, was a convicted felon who said Jews deserved the Holocaust.
The congressman also attended the 2012 dedication of the Church of Scientology's Washington, D.C., lobbying office.
Davis, who faced a tough primary challenge this cycle, was boosted by an endorsement from President Joe Biden. The longtime congressman won his primary by single digits and is now expected to coast to reelection in November.
Reached for comment, a Mario's Butcher Shop employee said he would relay the Free Beacon ‘s inquiry to the establishment's owner.
Oakland Police Chief Decries ‘Horrific’ Shootings After 5 Killed in 3 Days Gabrielle Lurie / The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty 2:06
Oakland Police Department Chief LeRonne Armstrong has decried what he calls a “horrific” series of shootings in the city after five people were murder in three days, bringing the total number of homicides this year to 83, near last year’s pace.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday:
Each day’s incidents were believed to be unrelated to one another but have raised tensions in the city.
Last year at this time, Oakland had 84 homicides on its way to its highest homicide toll in more than a decade at 123.
…
The deadly shootings started Friday evening at about 7:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way in West Oakland when police found two men had been shot and another riding a bicycle had been struck by a car, possibly fleeing the scene, and killed.
The article listed the names of those killed: Capri Anderson, 22; Maurice Wilson; Devin Woodfox, 36; Tyrod Banks, 46; and Tonnell Williams, 48.
As Breitbart News reported, Chief Armstrong was outspoken last year in his criticism of the “defund the police” movement when the Oakland City Council cut $18 million from the police department budget and redirected it to other priorities.
President Joe Biden campaigned on “redirecting” police funding, while later claiming he campaigned on funding the police.

WATCH: Good Samaritan Snatches Gun From Attacker in Upper Manhattan Getty Images Plus 1:49
Two people on a motorcycle attacked a pedestrian in Manhattan Saturday afternoon when a Good Samaritan grabbed their gun.
He was hit in the head for his trouble, but chased them on foot anyway as they took off on the motorcycle, The New York Post reports .
At least one of the individuals on the motorcycle was allegedly armed.
The pedestrian, a 28-year-old, was cornered by the suspects when the Good Samaritan ran up to take away the alleged robbers’ gun.
One of the suspects on the motorcycle punched the Good Samaritan, but he stayed in the fight, took the gun, and chased the suspects on foot as they fled on the motorcycle.
On July 17 Breitbart News reported that leftists went apoplectic because so many people were referring to a concealed carrier as a Good Samaritan after he opened fire on a would-be mass shooter at Greenwood Park Mall and stopped the attack .
For example, David Leavitt tweeted , “You’d never need a ‘Good Samaritan’ with a gun at Greenwood Park Mall or at any other place if there weren’t any guns to begin with.”

On Monday morning, ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the total number of weekend shooting victims had reached at least 35, with two additional shooting fatalities.
Around 2 a.m. Sunday Police found a victim “in the 4900-block of West Superior Street” who had been shot in the neck. The individual later died at a hospital.
On Sunday night a 46-year-old woman was in a car with a 42-year-old man “on South Vincennes Avenue near Monterey Avenue” when occupants of another car opened fire on them. The 42-year-old man attempted to drive a police station for help but the car chased them down and more shots were fired, leaving the man in critical condition and the woman fatally wounded.
The Sun-Times homicide database shows there were 439 people killed in Chicago January 1, 2022, through August 28, 2022.

Dominate Minneapolis Gun Violence | VDARE Video Bulletin
Virginia Progressive Prosecutor Freed Felon Who Went On To Murder Two Men Parisa Dehghani-Tafti (YouTube) Josh Christenson • August 24, 2022 5:30 pmA progressive Virginia prosecutor this year dropped charges against a felon with a history of gun charges. Months later, that felon killed two innocent men.
In July, Francis Rose shot two "innocent bystanders" in the head while robbing an apartment complex in Alexandria, Va., according to police. In February, he was freed from jail by the office of Arlington County commonwealth’s attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti (D.). Rose, who was already on probation for illegally carrying a weapon in Washington, D.C., was arrested in October 2020 for possession of a firearm and possession of cocaine and fentanyl with intent to distribute.
The double murder is the latest instance where soft-on-crime Virginia prosecutors enabled violent felons. Dehghani-Tafti’s ally Steve Descano (D.), Fairfax County’s top prosecutor, released three offenders with gun charges who each went on to murder. Both prosecutors’ campaigns received over $600,000 from the Democratic megadonor George Soros. Like Soros-backed prosecutors across the country, Dehghani-Tafti and Descano have abolished cash bail and pushed for decarceration.
"What happened in Alexandria was senseless and tragic," Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares told the Washington Free Beacon . "Unfortunately, it continues to be true that the vast majority of violent crime is committed by the same repeat offenders."
Police announced the double homicide of Adrian de Jesus Rivera Guzman and his step-son, Juan Carlos Anaya Hernandez, on Tuesday. Rose’s victims were landscape workers who had escaped gang-led violence in their native El Salvador.
Arlington police arrested Rose during a traffic stop in 2020 after finding a loaded handgun, cocaine, and fentanyl on him. In February, a county judge ruled the search unconstitutional. The evidence was not legally admissible because the drugs and gun were "appended" to Rose rather than in the car, his defense attorney argued, according to the Washington Post . Dehghani-Tafti’s office dropped the charges following the judge’s ruling and criticized the arresting officers’ conduct.
But before the ruling, a prosecutor in Dehghani-Tafti’s office praised the officers’ conduct, according to the Arlington Coalition of Police. Her office held Rose in jail without bond for more than a year before his trial, the law enforcement group said, implying prosecutors believed the officers had acted lawfully.
Rose will appear in court on Oct. 28. He faces up to 40 years in prison for each count of second-degree murder. Juan Hernandez’s wife told the Post she hopes he will stay behind bars this time.
"I know that if he’s in prison, my son and husband, they won’t come back," Laura Hernandez said. "But this man can’t get out. He can’t get out."
This piece was updated to include comment from Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares.
Double murder suspect Francis Deonte Rose, 27, had previously been arrested in D.C. and Arlington County. (Photo/ALXnow) By Kassidy McDonald | kmcdonald@alextimes.com
Two men were shot to death the morning of July 16 after a botched residential burglary at 7:28 a.m. in the Assembly Alexandria apartment complex in the 100 to 200 blocks of Century Drive, according to a police report.
The victims, Adrian Dejesus Rivera Guzman, 48, and Juan Carlos Anaya Hernandez, 24, were innocent bystanders to the burglary when they were both shot in the head by suspect Francis Deonte Rose, 27.
The suspect is in custody on burglary charges and police said other charges are expected.
According to ALXnow, Alexandria police radio traffic at the time suggested that the burglary suspect was the ex-boyfriend of an apartment resident and was known to carry a gun.
This is not the first time Rose has been in trouble with the law, as he has previously been arrested in D.C. and Arlington County.
In D.C., he was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, bench warrant, possession of unregistered ammunition and possession of an unregistered firearm. In Arlington a year later, he was charged with intent to manufacture, sell or distribute cocaine and fentanyl as well as possession of a gun and ammunition by someone convicted of a felony within the past 10 years, according to ALXnow. Rose was released from jail in Arlington after these charges were dropped following a judge’s decision to suppress evidence that the judge ruled had been illegally obtained, ALXnow reported.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with related information should reach out to APD Detective Stephen Riley via phone at 703-746-6225, email at Stephen.Riley@alexandriava.gov or call the non-emergency line at 703-746-4444

Watch: Man Brutally Sucker Punched from Behind at NYC Mall – No One Immediately Helps, Including Security Guard NYPD 2:18
A 36-year-old shopper was brutally sucker punched from behind at a mall in Brooklyn while no bystanders are seen immediately aiding the victim, including a security guard, in footage released by the New York Police Department (NYPD).
The assault happened at Kings Plaza Mall in the Mill Basin neighborhood of Brooklyn at approximately 6:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Watch:
As the footage begins, a 36-year-old man is seen standing by himself before being approached by another man from behind, who sucker punches him in an unprovoked manner.
The suspect is then seen walking away from the victim’s motionless body.
While multiple bystanders are visibly nearby the 36-year-old’s body, no one is seen aiding the victim for the rest of the footage — approximately 20 seconds.
During this time, a security guard can be seen walking by the victim’s motionless body but also does not attend to him as he walks away. He even appears to look at the victim while walking.
The 36-year-old was taken to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, WABC reported .
The NYPD released additional footage of what appears to be the suspect exiting a black Honda Civic at a parking exit in the mall.
It is unknown why the attack occurred, as police continue to search for the suspect.
Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or send a tip on the Crime Stoppers website or their Twitter page.
This attack comes after a victim was sucker punched by another man outside in a similarly unprovoked manner on August 12, Breitbart News reported . Bui Van Phu, 55, was later identified as the alleged suspect and was charged with attempted murder.
Felony Assaults in the Big Apple are up by 18.8 percent from this time last year, NYPD crime data shows . Overall, crime across the city is up by 35.6 percent.

Jonah Sampson, a 30-year-old black man accused of spray painting swastikas on Atlanta’s gay pride rainbow crosswalk, was arrested Friday by Atlanta police after a five-hour standoff with a SWAT team.
A spray painted swastika was found on the gay pride crosswalk on Wednesday, which prompted Atlanta’s Department of Transportation to arrive on scene and quickly clean it up. However, the symbol was also found on the crosswalk on Friday, this time next to an anti-gay slur.
Atlanta police believe Sampson is also responsible for spray painting similar symbols at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Sampson is facing three charges of second degree criminal damage to property, one count of criminal trespass and a felony charge of interference with government property, Fox News reported .
Sampson remains in custody on a $77,500 bond for all charges, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
Local authorities attempted to arrest Sampson at an apartment on Friday around 12:00 p.m., but he would not leave the premises. As a result, Atlanta police SWAT teams were deployed to the scene. Sampson ultimately left the apartment around 5 p.m.
Atlanta installed the rainbow crosswalk in 2016 after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, left 49 people dead.
A man has been accused of sexually abusing a six-year-old boy at the former Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s in Chicago.
Law enforcement alleged 62-year-old Bryan Sutton of Flint, Michigan, molested the child inside a bathroom stall on Saturday, CWB Chicago reported Monday.
“He also allegedly attacked a 61-year-old male security guard who tried to detain him inside the restaurant, 600 North Clark Street,” the outlet continued, adding Chicago officers later tazed the suspect before taking him into custody.
A photo showed the suspect with a bandage taped to his forehead:
He was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child and aggravated kidnapping. The suspect was scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the boy was taken to a hospital in good condition, but it was apparently not the first such incident involving a child to happen at the McDonald’s.
In March 2020, an illegal alien felon was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl in the McDonald’s restroom, Breitbart News reported at the time.
The suspect had been freed several times by the sanctuary state of Illinois, the outlet continued:
Christopher Puente, a 34-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was charged in Chicago with one count of predatory criminal sexual assault after he allegedly locked himself in a McDonald’s bathroom stall with a three-year-old girl and proceeded to sexually assault her, according to law enforcement.
Puente allegedly admitted to Cook County prosecutors that on February 24, he lured the three-year-old girl into a men’s bathroom stall in McDonald’s before placing her on his lap, pulling off her pants, and covering her mouth as he sexually assaulted her.
The girl’s father was in the next stall with her brother and heard her crying “daddy, daddy” in the moments before he tried to get into the stall to rescue her.
When he could not pry the door open, he took hold of her legs from underneath and pulled her out. The suspect was arrested a few days later.
“Puente has a long criminal history in the U.S. after first illegally crossing the southern border sometime before 2011. Puente has two felony convictions for burglary in 2011 and 2017 and was convicted of forgery in 2012,” the outlet said.
In 2019, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) asked that Puente be handed to them after an arrest regarding theft, but the state of Illinois released him.
Later, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) and the Chicago Police Department defended freeing the man before the alleged sexual assault, Breitbart News reported on March 5, 2020.
Lightfoot said in part, “[ICE officials are] critical because we have said very clearly we are a welcoming city, a sanctuary city. Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with ICE on any immigration-related business.”
Police Arrest Female Suspect After Two People Shot Dead in Atlanta @Atlanta_Police 1:28

Report: 9 People Shot in 3 Hours in Lightfoot’s Chicago Monday Night AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast 1:52
A report from WGN-TV says that nine people were shot within three hours in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago Monday night.
Two of the shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
The first shooting fatality occurred shortly before 9:30 p.m. in “the 2500 block of South Karlov Avenue in Little Village,” according to WGN-TV.
A 33-year-old man was in the back seat of a vehicle when someone opened fire, striking him in the head and killing him.
The second fatal shooting took place approximately two hours later when a 54-year-old man was shot in the chest and killed while walking on the sidewalk in “the 2500 block of East 84th Street.”
The 54-year-old was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
WGN-TV indicates another seven people were shot and wounded during the three-hour time frame that began just before 9:30 p.m.

NYC Frees South Sudan Diplomat on ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ Grounds After Rape Arrest Facebook / Charles Dickens 3:31
Police officers in New York City arrested a United Nations (U.N.) diplomat from South Sudan on Sunday after he was accused of rape by a woman that day — but released him from custody Monday morning after he successfully claimed diplomatic immunity, the New York Post reported .
The newspaper, which obtained and reviewed a copy of the relevant New York City Police Department (NYPD) report, relayed the following on August 22:
Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46 — a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan — was arrested in Sunday’s alleged sex assault on a woman inside her apartment around noon, according to a police report obtained by The Post.
Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said.
But once he informed detectives from the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit that he was a diplomat, investigators confirmed he had immunity and swiftly released him without formally charging him, police said.
The New York Post , citing the NYPD report and other unnamed sources, revealed several details about the sex crime allegedly committed by Oliha on August 21. The South Sudanese diplomat resides in the same apartment building — located on Wadsworth Terrace street in the NYC neighborhood of Fort George — as his alleged rape victim.
The female victim told police officers that she was outside her apartment building walking a neighbor’s dog around 12:00 p.m. on Sunday. Moments later, as she attempted to reenter her building’s lobby, Oliha approached her and offered to open the door for her. Oliha told the woman he was going to follow her upstairs to her apartment. The woman replied, “No, you’re not,” according to the NYPD report.
“But as the woman opened the door to her apartment, the suspect forced his way inside,” the New York Post quoted police as stating in the report.
“The woman reported that the intruder pinned her against a wall and raped her using a condom before raping her again on the couch without a condom,” the NYPD said.
“The victim said she was in shock after the attack and went to sleep but later called 911 after a friend convinced her to make a report,” according to the police document.
NYPD officers escorted the woman to Columbia University Medical Center for a medical evaluation shortly after she reported the alleged rapes. Police officers arrested Oliha for the alleged sex crime around midnight on Sunday. However, while in custody, Oliha informed the NYPD that he had diplomatic immunity and they released him from detention early Monday morning.
The U.K.’s Daily Mail reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment on Oliha’s alleged sex crime and received the following response on August 23:
“We are aware of the incident referenced involving a diplomat accredited to the United Nations. We take these allegations seriously, and we are working closely with the New York Police Department and the Mayor’s Office of International Affairs, as we do in all legal and criminal cases involving foreign diplomats assigned to Permanent Missions and Observer Offices at the UN.”
The U.S. State Department refused to verify to the Daily Mail whether or not Oliha remained in the U.S. as of August 23.
Italy: African Migrant Caught on Video Raping Ukrainian Woman in Broad Daylight Getty Image 3:05
An African migrant was arrested by Italian police on Sunday after being caught on film raping a Ukrainian woman in the middle of the street in broad daylight.
The incident took place in the centre of the city of Piacenza in the Emilia-Romagna region on Sunday morning at around 6:30 am and saw the migrant, originally from Guinea, allegedly rape his 55-year-old Ukrainian victim on the Via Scalabrini.
Local residents alerted police after seeing the attack take place, while others captured the shocking attack on film, according to a report from the newspaper Il Giornale .
“It is a very serious episode that offends not only the victim but a city that has proved hospitable to those who – evidently – did not deserve it,” national-conservative Brothers of Italy (FdI) member Tommaso Foti said and added that he did not want to politicize the attack for election purposes but said it could not be ignored.
The leader of the Brothers of Italy, social conservative firebrand Giorgia Meloni, was slammed by the mainstream media after she posted a video of the attack on her Twitter account.
“One cannot remain silent in the face of this atrocious episode of sexual violence against a Ukrainian woman carried out in daytime in Piacenza by an asylum seeker,” Meloni said and added, “A hug to this woman. I will do everything I can to restore security to our cities.” The Tweet was later deleted with Twitter stating that it violated the rules of the platform.
Populist League leader Matteo Salvini, an ally of Meloni, also commented on the attack saying, “‘Asylum seeker’ and rapist. That’s enough! Defending the borders and the Italians will be a duty for me, not a right. I will be in Piacenza soon, to confirm the League’s commitment to restore security to our country.”
Salvini went on to promise to hire at least 10,000 more police and carabinieri officers in 2023 and to block illegal immigrant landings.
According to a 2020 report, nearly half of the violent rape attacks in Italy are carried out by foreign nationals. The Italian statistics agency ISTAT reported that some 42 per cent of violent sex crimes against women in the country are committed by foreigners, with non-European Union migrants making up a significant number of sex attackers.
Ahead of next month’s September 25th national election, both Ms Meloni and Salvini have vowed to reduce the number of illegals entering the country, with Meloni going as far as suggesting a naval blockade earlier this month.
The centre-right alliance, of which Meloni’s FdI and Salvini’s League are members, looks set to win the national election and some forecasts have the coalition winning as many as 60 per cent of the seats in parliament, opening the way to Meloni becoming Italy’s first female Prime Minister.

Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites
So, we have local black gang associates posting terror threats on social media -- threats of murder, by burning, directed at the women and children family members of white police employees -- immediately before the murder, by burning, of the white teenage daughter of a local police department employee. Plus, the killing took place only minutes after the victim was seen on video at the same location as the husband or boyfriend of the person who posted the threats, as he was filling a handheld can with gasoline.

During the summer of 2020, BLM and Antifa wrought violence and did billions of dollars in damage across America. The Democrat left supported those riots and raised money to bail out the perpetrators no matter what they had done. Our media, of course, supported the rioters too; they love nothing better than exacerbating an already-explosive situation. The media do not investigate the obvious possibility that the rioters were recruited and paid to do what they do . Ask one of them why they are rioting and you will get a blank look. They may be doing it for a paycheck, not principles or ideology.
How You Get the Left to Talk Honestly About Black Crime A disturbing look at the FBI’s data on race and animal-cruelty offenses.
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/06/americas-black-crime-tidal-wave-how-you.html
But due to a ton of negative black disparities showing up in the data, the mainstream media pursues a policy of silence on the issue, turning it as a result into a taboo topic.
‘ These figures are even more glaring when one considers pet-ownership rates. If blacks owned pets at rates double their own population, their cruelty offense-rates would be less of a concern. But this is not the case. White ownership rates have been shown to be double , even triple , that of blacks, meaning the latter’s propensity for animal cruelty is actually far higher than what’s showing in the FBI’s figures.

As for interracial violence generally, blacks disproportionately commit it. Between 2012 and 2015, there were 631,830 violent interracial victimizations, excluding homicide, between blacks
and whites, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Blacks, who make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, committed 85.5 percent of those victimizations, or 540,360 felonious assaults on
whites, while whites, 61 percent of the population, committed 14.4 percent, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks. Regarding threats to blacks from the police, a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Anti-cop activist Shaun King says that his involvement in the campaign around the Jazmine Barnes murder was not driven by reports that a white man had killed the seven-year-old girl, who was gunned down in Houston on December 30. According to Barnes’s mother and 15-year-old sister, the white driver of a pickup truck had pulled up next to the family’s car before opening fire. The accusation set off a frenzy of hate-crime allegations and blanket coverage by the New York Times. King offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who located the suspect.
As it turned out, Jazmine Barnes was killed by two black men, who opened fire on her mother’s car because they thought that they were targeting enemies of their gang. King passed along a tip about the real killers to the Houston police, and now says that he merely “internalized the pain of the family and tried to search as if it were my own child who was killed.” Race, in other words, had nothing to do with his activism.
It’s worth remembering, though, the many other black children who have been victims of drive-by shootings without leading King to launch a national crusade.
A sampling: in March 2015, a six-year-old boy was killed in a drive-by shooting on West Florissant Avenue in St. Louis, as Black Lives Matter protesters were converging on the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to demand the resignation of the entire department. In August 2015, a nine-year-old girl was killed by a bullet from a drive-by shooting in Ferguson while doing her homework in her bedroom, blocks from the Black Lives Matter rioting thoroughfare. Five children were shot in Cleveland over the 2015 Fourth of July weekend. A seven-year-old boy was killed in Chicago that same weekend by a bullet intended for his father. In Cincinnati, in July 2015, a four-year-old girl was shot in the head and a six-year-old girl was left paralyzed and partially blind from two separate drive-by shootings. In Cleveland, three children five and younger were killed in September 2015, leading the black police chief to break down in tears and ask why the community only protests shootings of blacks when the perpetrator is a cop. In November 2015, a nine-year-old in Chicago was lured into an alley and killed by his father’s gang enemies; the father refused to cooperate with the police. All told, ten children under the age of ten were killed in Baltimore in 2015; twelve victims were between the age of ten and seventeen.
In 2016, a three-year-old girl in Baltimore was partially paralyzed by a drive-by shooting. In Chicago in 2016, two dozen children under the age of 12 were shot in drive-bys, including a three-year-old boy mowed down on Father’s Day 2016 who is now paralyzed for life and a ten-year-old boy shot in August; his pancreas, intestines, kidney, and spleen were torn apart. A Jacksonville 22-month-old was shot to death by a passing car last June. In September, three men killed three-year-old Azalya Anderson in a drive-by in Sacramento, and a week before Christmas in Bridgeport, a 12-year-old boy was shot and killed on his way home from the candy store in a drive-by shooting.
Why did King let these shootings of black children go by without responding as he did to Jazmine Barnes’s murder? Could it be because the perpetrators were black? You could end all white shootings of black children tomorrow and it would have zero effect on the death rate of black children by homicide, because such white-on-black shootings are extremely rare. Moral abominations, like the 2015 Charleston church massacre by white supremacist Dylann Roof, are aberrations that belong to the outermost lunatic fringe of American society. The country’s revulsion at the Charleston carnage was immediate and universal, resulting in a movement to banish the Confederate flag, embraced by Roof as a white supremacist symbol, from official sites.
If Shaun King and other Black Lives Matter activists really want to save black children from the trauma of urban violence, they should put their efforts into rebuilding inner-city culture—above all, by revalorizing a married father as the best gift a mother can give her child. Fantasies about white violence against “black bodies” are a distraction from what is actually happening on American streets.

Walter Williams tackles the elephant in the room on crime
By John Dale Dunn
Dr. Williams is a well known conservative economist and longtime John Olin Chair faculty at George Mason University in eastern Virginia, author of 12 books and syndicated columnist. In the past, he has been substitute host on the Rush Limbaugh radio program. He is almost like family to me, and I have benefited from his essays and books over the years. This past week, I saw and read his essay on disparities in crime rates among races that was picked up by Military in its October 2019 issue. What got Dr. Williams going was the article by Matthew DeLisi of Iowa State U and John Paul Wright of the U of Cincinnati titled "What Criminologists Don't Say and Why."
Dr. Williams confirms that the writers are right about the liberal tilt of criminologists — "If criminologists have the guts to even talk about a race-crime connection, it's behind closed doors and in guarded language. Any discussion about race and crime ... can mean the end of one's professional career."
Dr. Williams points out teen black-on-white predatory behavior — chronicled in detail by many, particularly Colin Flaherty , whose investigative reports appear frequently (more than 100) at American Thinker — cannot be reported, mentioned, or considered by the media, politicians, criminologists, commentators, politicians, even law enforcement people without risking being called racist, the easy epithet used to enforce a ban on talking about the realities of racial disparities in crime and the increasingly violent nature of black violence against whites — the knockout game, polar bear hunting, flash mob violence against people and property.
Referencing the Wright and DeLisi report, Dr. Williams comments on another reality: that the rate of black homicide and armed robbery as well as other violent crimes are as is as much as 15–30 times more than whites, for example, and he points out the silliness of criminologists' claims that mass incarceration rather than criminality has decimated the black community. He favorably quotes Wright and DeLisi when they say, "What they [criminals] did, in reality was to prey on their neighbors."
Dr. Williams returns to a theme he has explored many times before in this essay and commentary when he points out that the black family of the past was two parents and stable, even back to days of slavery, and that the black community was moral and law-abiding. "The strong character of black people is responsible for the great progress made from emancipation to today. ... [T]oday's conduct among black youth wouldn't have been tolerated yesteryear."
My regret is there aren't enough Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell types to engage the nutty attitudes of liberal chatterbox experts.
