Two Chicago suburbs have enacted steep $1,000-per-month taxes on hotels in an effort to stop plans by the state of Illinois to use the facilities for long-term migrant housing.

The latest city to enact this harsh tax is northwest suburban Schaumburg, which implemented the tax for those staying longer than 30 days after hearing that state officials were looking at three hotels in the city to use for long-term housing for illegal aliens, the Daily Herald reported.

The general procedure in the past has been for the state to contract directly with hotel operators without involving local government officials.

The first city to enact such a tax — aimed to convince hotels not to engage in such contracts — was Rosemont, a town with a long strip of hotels that usually caters to the convention business. The hotels surround the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, an 840,000 sq. ft. facility that hosts a wide array of events.

Rosemont is also right at the eastern edge of O’Hare International Airport, and many of the hotels in the city cater to travelers out of one of the world’s busiest hubs.

Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens, though, was alarmed by plans being floated by Chicago developer Mike Reschke, who was hoping to pull in up to eight hotels in the area to host thousands of illegals.

Like Mayor Stephens, Schaumburg Mayor Tom Dailly was alarmed by the plans for the region’s hotels. “The goal here is to protect our hotels,” he recently said.

Still, Schaumburg Village Manager Brian Townsend pointed out that there are already migrants in his town, and they have settled in just fine. And he insisted that the steep hotel tax is not an effort to keep migrants away from Schaumburg.

“We want to make sure it’s done in a planned and responsible way,” Townsend explained. “We’ve developed a solution we think works.”

Both cities added provisions that residents affected by house fires or other disasters or corporate employees living in the area for an extended but not permanent period would be exempt from triggering the tax.

Schaumburg and Rosemont apparently hope to avoid the experience of Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, who, in September 2022, discovered that the city of Chicago had dropped off dozens of illegals at the Burr Ridge hotel after the hotel agreed to house migrants. The housing plan, though, was a total surprise to Grasso and his city council, neither of which were informed of the plan ahead of time.

The two towns are also likely wary of the idea of housing migrants in hotels, especially after the many problems seen at similar facilities in Chicago.

Chicago’s 42nd Ward Alderman Brendan Reilly, for instance, became highly concerned after city officials contracted with a hotel in his Ward when the area surrounding the hotel became a locus for criminal behavior, prostitution, drug dealing, litter, and noise complaints.

Reilly wrote a letter to the mayor’s office in July, speaking of the “concerns my office receives daily regarding new arrivals living at the Inn of Chicago.”

Reilly warned that his voters are expressing “concerns about migrants loitering, littering, illegally parking their vehicles, and leaving human waste on the sidewalks near the hotel.”

The alderman also noted that residents are reporting that illegals “have been seen selling narcotics and engaging in lewd activity, including possible prostitution” in and around the location.

Residents organized in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood in August when the city quietly arranged to house migrants in the Lake Shore Hotel in the district. The hotel had been used to stockpile dozens of migrants in the past, and residents said that crime, loitering, drugs, litter, and other forms of lawlessness increased immediately upon the arrival of the border crossers.

Chicago Mayor Cancels Public Gallery in City Council Chambers After Public Protests of His Sanctuary City Policies

The self-professed “progressive” Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson is taking heat for the “antidemocratic” move of shutting down the public gallery in the city council chambers after weeks of citizens filling the gallery and vociferously protesting his sanctuary city policies.

The mayor has canceled the open-door policy for the second-floor gallery where citizens once could take a seat to watch the proceedings of the council as it debates issues, sets policies, and works to pass statutes.

In the past, the gallery was open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. But now, the mayor has changed the rules with a new policy where gallery seats are doled out only to those who have asked an alderman for permission to attend a session.

The change in the gallery seating policy comes after months of sometimes disruptive behavior from citizens who came to watch over the city council’s business, and in almost every case recently, the spark for that disruption was the mayor’s migrant spending plans.

Citizens will be allowed to sit in the third-floor gallery, but this small viewing platform is high above the chambers and is also behind glass where any catcalls or comments will go unheard by the council members and the mayor down below.

The change is sudden enough that city hall’s written rules still say, “The public is admitted to the Gallery’s non-reserved seats on a first-come, first-served basis,” a policy that used to apply to both the second and third-floor balconies.

But as of this week, citizens have been directed only to the third floor and have been told that the second floor is for reserved seating only.

A story by WBEZ, the outlet that broke the news, says the new gallery plan “has not been published publicly” but “will remain indefinitely.”

The new policy set Chicago’s Better Government Association (BGA) on edge.

The BGA railed about the sudden and unannounced change in the gallery policy and insisted that “Personal relationships with elected officials should not be a determining factor in the public’s access to public meetings. Any new rules or restrictions should be applied equally to all attendees, with no carve-outs for aldermanic or mayoral invitations.”

The BGA went on to torch Johnson who came to office claiming that he would have the “most transparent” city hall ever:

Despite pledges of greater transparency during his campaign and a “City Hall Open House” photo-op at his inauguration, Mayor Johnson has more significantly restricted access to the upper floors of City Hall – including aldermanic and mayoral office suites as well as the council chambers – than any of his predecessors. The public is not even allowed access to the stairs or elevators until shortly before public meetings, and the new, unpublished seating rules banish most attendees to the upper balcony, which offers more limited viewing and hearing, as well as suffering from overcrowding and overheating.

The Chicago Tribune equally excoriated this “transparent” mayor in an editorial on Thursday calling Johnson’s move “antidemocratic.”

The Tribune added:

Johnson is intent on pushing through a City Council dominated by progressives like him a host of policies that strike hard at business in Chicago. He also has taken controversial steps on addressing the migrant crisis, the source of much of the recent unruliness in the council chamber. And this from for a mayor who styles himself a game-changing politician of the people. If the mayor believes the public supports these policies, he shouldn’t be afraid to face some of what he clearly views as negative optics.

The paper also slammed Johnson for changing the policy with neither public notice nor public debate:

The substance of what has happened here isn’t the only thing disturbing about this move. A civic decision of this magnitude isn’t ordinarily communicated solely via a strikingly sycophantic story in an outlet the mayor perceives as friendly. The tactic just raises more questions about this administration’s competence in handling basic functions and its lack of an effective and transparent communications operation.

“City Council works for the people,” the Tribune concluded. “They have a right to watch in person.”

Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed “right-wing extremism” for some of the ills facing his crime-ridden city.

Johnson issued his statement about the “far right” during a press conference on Tuesday.

“What we’ve seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism”‘ the mayor said. “Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.”

The mayor even said that such “right-wing extremists” aim to create “division and chaos because that is what that particular political party has been about.”

“It is the same party that wouldn’t accept that President Obama was actually an American. It’s the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the capital, it’s the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the civil war. It’s raggedy. It’s disrespectful. It’s mean-spirited,” he said.

“It is abysmal and it is an affront to everything that is good about this country for the extremism in this country to use people as political tools to settle political scores for something that happened over 400 years ago. They’re still mad that a black man is free in this country,” he added.

Right-wing extremists were not the only scapegoats employed during the mayor’s press conference. According to the Daily Mail, Johnson also blamed his predecessor, Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot, claiming that he inherited her mess.

Johnson also bashed “right-wing extremists” this past October, saying they had been captured by an “unclean spirit.”

“The real disconnect is that you have an unclean spirit that has captured the right-wing extremists in this country. And I call on them to dig deeper and lean on their faith. As Jesus said, who our neighbors really are: the one on the roadside. Those are our neighbors,” Johnson said.

Contrary To Leftist Revisionism, Native American Culture Was Indeed ‘Savage’

By Wolf Howling

Progressives embrace victimhood to give themselves moral superiority, which often requires grossly distorted narratives instead of historical facts. Nowhere is this more apparent than in The Nation magazine, where two American Indian “activists” recently “debated” Should America Keep Celebrating Thanksgiving? They agreed that Thanksgiving needed to be “decolonized” and that Thanksgiving needed to refocus on the evil of the colonists.

That means centering the Indigenous perspective and challenging the colonial narratives around the holiday (and every other day on the calendar). By reclaiming authentic histories and practices, decolonization seeks to honor Indigenous values, identities, and knowledge. This approach is one of constructive evolution: In decolonizing Thanksgiving, we acknowledge this painful past while reimagining our lives in a more truthful manner.

Great. Let’s have that “truthful” conversation.

The big lie behind this “debate” is that colonial era “indigenous culture” was superior to Western culture. Scratch the surface, though, and you see that their complaint is not that the European colonists were evil but that, in the clash of civilizations, the Indian tribes lost.

The world—and the American Indians today—are far better for colonization. The truth is that all the colonial-era North American Indian tribes were nonliterate, militaristic, brutal, stone-age, and only steps removed from hunter-gatherers. Their decentralized tribal governance was a cause of constant war and bloodshed.

Nonliterate

None of the North American Indian tribes had a written language. They were without books to accumulate and transmit knowledge. They had no recorded histories before those Europeans created after 1492. Outside of adopting European language and writing, the American Indian tribes did not develop alphabets and writing in their native tongues until well into the 19th century.

Militaristic

The single best original source for studying the North American Indians through the colonial period is James Adair’s 1775 book, The History of the American Indians. James was “a trader with the Indians and Resident in their Country for Forty Years,” he married into the Chickasaw tribe and embraced the culture.

Adair states unequivocally that American Indians most valued military prowess. They measured that prowess “by scalps” and by the prisoners that a victorious warrior would bring back to the tribe to be enslaved, ritually executed, or adopted. It was on these measures that the Indians bestowed “all their war-titles, which distinguish them among the brave: and these they hold in as high esteem.”

Mostly, Indian warfare was driven by revenge:

The Indian Americans are more eager to revenge blood, than any other people on the whole face of the earth.

[snip]

I have known the Indians to go a thousand miles, for the purpose of revenge, in pathless woods... Such is their over-boiling revengeful temper, that they utterly contemn [physical hardships as] imaginary trifles, if they are so happy as to get the scalp of the murderer, or enemy, to satisfy the supposed craving ghosts of their deceased relations. Though they imagine the report of guns will send off the ghosts of their kindred that died at home, to their quiet place, yet they firmly believe, that the spirits of those who are killed by the enemy, without equal revenge of blood, find no rest, and at night haunt the houses of the tribe to which they belonged…

[snip]

Such persons cannot well live without war...

Brutality

Adair writes that prisoners would sometimes be adopted into the tribe but, most often, they would be enslaved or ritually executed. The Indian’s preferred method of execution—varying little across tribes—was death by fire torture in an ordeal lasting a period of hours to days and ending in scalping and dismemberment. As Adair described it:

[The] condemned...[are] tied to the dreadful stake, one at a time. The victors first strip their miserable captives quite naked and...fasten with a grapevine a burning fire-brand to the pole a little above the reach of their heads. Then they know their doom—deep black, and burning fire, are fixed seals of their death-warrant.

Their punishment is always left to the women...[who] perform it to the entire satisfaction of...the spectators. Each of them prepares for the dreadful rejoicing, a long bundle of dry canes, or the heart of fat pitch-pine, and as the victims are led to the stake, the women and their young ones beat them with these in a most barbarous manner. Happy would it be for the miserable creatures, if their sufferings ended here, or a merciful tomohawk finished them at one stroke; but this shameful treatment is a prelude to future sufferings...

The victim’s arms are...pinioned, and a strong grapevine is tied round his neck to the top of the war-pole, allowing him to track around about fifteen yards. They fix some tough clay on his head to secure the scalp from the blazing torches.

Unspeakable pleasure now fills the exulting crowd of spectators, and the circle fills with the...merciless executioners... The women make a furious onset with their burning torches: his pain is soon so excruciating that he rushes out from the pole with the fury of the most savage beast of prey and with the vine sweeps down all before him, kicking, biting, and trampling them... The circle immediately fills again, either with the same, or fresh persons: they attack him on every side—now he runs to the pole for shelter , but the flames pursue him. Then with champing teeth and sparkling eye-balls, he breaks through their contracted circle afresh, and acts every part that the highest courage, most raging fury, and blackest despair can prompt him to. But he is sure to be over-powered by numbers, and after some time the fire affects his tender parts. —Then they pour over him a quantity of cold water, and allow him a proper time of respite, until his spirits recover, and he is capable of suffering new tortures.

Then the like cruelties are repeated till he falls down, and happily becomes insensible of pain. Now they scalp him...dismember [him], and carry off all the exterior branches of the body (pudendis non exceptis [including the genitalia]) in shameful and savage triumph.

This is the most favorable treatment their...captives receive: it would be too shocking to humanity either to give, or peruse, every particular of their conduct in such doleful tragedies—nothing can equal these scenes.... Not a soul, of whatever age or sex, manifests the least pity during the prisoner's tortures: the women sing with religious joy, all the while they are torturing the...victim, and peals of laughter resound through the crowded theatre—especially if [the victim] fears to die...

A third option for prisoners was enslavement, a common practice among the American Indians. Arrell Gibson, in his book The Chickasaws, gives an example from the colonial era:

Women did most of the menial work, cultivating fields and fetching firewood and water, as well as the customary household tasks. Prizing the Indian slaves captured in their tribe’s many wars, Chickasaw women could be expected to urge their men to more fury, more raids, and more slaves, which changed their status from laborers to overseers of slave laborers. To prevent escape from Chickasaw bondage, they mutilated the slaves’ feet by cutting nerves or sinews just above the instep. Thus they could labor but could not flee.

Stone-Age Tribes

North American Indian societies were technologically backward to a startling degree. For instance, as the NYT reported in “ New Analysis Describes the Birth of the Wheel,” before European contact in 1492, no American Indian tribe had developed the wheel.

Moreover, before 1492, American Indians still depended on stone tools and weapons. They had never developed the technology of smelting to create bronze, iron, or steel. Indeed, the most iconic Indian weapon, the steel-bladed “tomahawk,” was a colonial-era trade item only manufactured in Britain. American Indians prized the tomahawks—as well as muskets and gunpowder—and would trade deerskins for them with British and French traders in what became a large-scale colonial-era trade economy.

Further, the North American Indian tribes were not far removed from hunter-gatherer lifestyles. While the tribes had developed rudimentary agriculture, they had no domesticated livestock. Thus, the tribes still depended on hunting and fishing for protein.

Lastly, the North American Indians were mired in stone-age means of travel. Before Europeans introduced horses and oxen, the Indians traveled overland only by foot. On the water, they traveled by canoe. They had no ocean-going vessels.

Tribalism

Tribalism, a stone-age relic, is the least advanced form of government and defined every North American Indian society. It depends on blood relations to tie the tribe together, and blood relations dominated over all questions of law, ethics, or morality. As Adair writes of the tribal form:

[T]hey have no sure method to reconcile their differences: consequently, when any casual thing draws them into a war, it grows every year more spiteful till it advances to a bitter enmity, so as to excite them to an implacable hatred to one another's very national names. Then they must go abroad to spill the enemy's blood, and to revenge crying blood.

Indeed, the most notable aspect of tribalism, as Steven Pinker documented in The Better Angels of Our Nature, is its association with constant violence and warfare. An essay in the American Journal of Anthropology documents “The Most Violent Era In America Was Before Europeans Arrived:”

There's a mythology about the native Americans, that they were all peaceful and in harmony with nature - it's easy to create narratives when there is no written record.

But archeology keeps its own history and a new paper finds that the 20th century, with its hundreds of millions dead in wars and, in the case of Germany, China, Russia and other dictatorships, genocide, was not the most violent - on a per-capita basis that honor may belong to the central Mesa Verde of southwest Colorado and the Pueblo Indians...

As Adair writes, he rarely observed an Indian brave who perished of old age.

None of the above means that American Indians did not contribute value to the United States or lacked laudable characteristics. Unsurprisingly, their contributions often revolved around warfare.

Indian tribes produced superb individual warriors—men of tremendous self-discipline, physical resilience, and bravery. Their fieldcraft and survival skills are legacies we emulate today. And the impact American Indians had on infantry small-unit tactics cannot be overestimated. Benjamin Church, Robert Rogers, and Francis Marion all learned their military skills from Indian warfare. The small-unit tactics they adopted are the standard, not only in the U.S. military but around the world.

Beyond the above and several culinary contributions, I can “reimagine” nothing about colonial Indian tribal culture that anyone, including Indians today, should want to emulate.

European culture and technology, the Judaeo-Christian religions, and English law and government all combined to produce far larger, more advanced, and more successful societies than those of the North American Indian tribes. That is the truth. Therefore, all Americans, whether of Indian or European heritage, should thank God on Thanksgiving Day for His many Colonial Enlightenment blessings on all Americans and the fact that the colonists, not the American Indians, prevailed.

THE WEEKY BLACK ON BLACK SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO CAUSED BY RIGHT-WINGERS!

At Least 30 Shot in Brandon Johnson’s Chicago over Thanksgiving Weekend

At least 30 people were shot, one of them fatally, over Thanksgiving weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.

Breitbart News reported 25 people were shot in the Windy City by Saturday night alone, with one of those shooting victims succumbing to their wounds.

One of the non-fatal shootings was as a drive-by incident just after midnight on Thursday that left five teens wounded near the United Center. The teens ranged from 15 to 18 years in age and, although wounded, were in good condition.

CBS News noted that by Monday morning the total number of shooting victims in Chicago for the Thanksgiving Weekend has reached at least 30. They reported five non-fatal shootings on Sunday, three of which were incidents in which people were walking their dog or simply walking down the sidewalk when someone opened fire on them.

A 49-year-old woman “in the 100 block of South Sacramento Boulevard” was robbed at gunpoint just before 8 a.m. Sunday and one of the suspect’s shot her in the abdomen after stealing her belongings.

The victim was hospitalized in good condition.

Chicago, like all of Illinois, has a licensing requirement for legal gun ownership, a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases, a red flag law, and an “assault weapons” ban, which includes a ban on “high capacity” magazines. Moreover, Chicago sits in Cook County and that county has an additional “assault weapons” ban.

Nevertheless, nearly 540 people have been killed in Chicago during 2023, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Radical Left-Winger Brandon Johnson Wins Race for Chicago Mayor

Brandon Johnson, the far-left, self-professed “progressive” candidate who ran on a plan to defund the Chicago Police and raise the city’s taxes, has won his runoff campaign for mayor of Chicago.

Moderate Democrat Paul Vallas led Johnson for most of the night until around 8 p.m. when Johnson began overtaking the former Chicago Public Schools chief.

Vallas ran as a business-friendly, law-and-order candidate while Johnson, who is black, ran a brutal campaign calling Vallas a racist who is “really a Republican.”

The election came down to the wire with more than 500,000 Chicagoans casting their ballot for mayor, but in the end, Johnson was able to maintain his slight lead, although the counting will continue as absentee and mail-in votes are counted after Election Night.

Still, many were calling the mayor’s race by 9 p.m. Central on Tuesday evening.

Crime served as a top issue in the runoff even as Johnson continued to try and run away from the debate on the campaign trail.

It was no surprise that Johnson did not want to talk about the issues.

According to the Chicago Tribune, in the wake of the death of George Floyd back in 2020, Johnson — who was a Cook County Commissioner at the time — introduced a resolution to “redirect funds from policing and incarceration to public services not administered by law enforcement.” His “Justice for Black Lives” resolution passed overwhelmingly in July 2020.

Johnson also blasted the now deposed Mayor Lori Lightfoot — who opposed defunding the police — and insisted that “she’s on the wrong side of history. … And the other side of the building has to come to their own reckoning.”

Johnson added, “This will give the county commissioners a road map for taking millions of waste spent on incarceration and policing and reinvesting it.”

A year later, Johnson appeared on WCPT 820′s The Santita Jackson Show and said that defunding the police is not just a slogan, adding, “I don’t look at it as a slogan. It’s an actual real political goal,” the Tribune added.

Johnson has also been in favor of huge hikes in taxes on a city that already has some of the highest taxes in the country.

Under Lori Lightfoot, the Windy City led the nation along with Los Angeles in losing citizens to outward migration.

Hundreds of Chicago Teachers Raped, Sexually Assaulted, Groomed Students in 2022

Hundreds of teachers in Chicago’s public school system raped, sexually assaulted, and groomed students last year.

According to a report released by Chicago Public Schools’ Office of the Inspector General, the 2021-2022 school year saw 772 investigations into teachers for allegedly raping, sexually assaulting, or grooming students.

The office was able to close 600 “adult on student” cases in the past year, and substantiated more than half of the allegations. Despite that, only 16 of the cases have resulted in charges.

Some cases involved taking trips to Las Vegas, Ibiza, London, and the Bahamas for sexual purposes.

While the majority of cases involved high school students, some involved children as young as fourth grade.

One Chicago teacher “groomed and sexually assaulted” a 17-year-old student on three separate occasions.

“She began to think of him as her friend and therapist,” according to the student. The teacher “touched and groped the student while hugging her, touching her thighs and buttocks under the pretext of removing lint from her clothing.”

Those allegations were corroborated, but while the teacher was charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, he was acquitted in November. He is currently battling his termination with the Illinois State Board of Education.

A Junior ROTC staffer reportedly had sex with a female student from the ages 16 to 17-years-old, and would buy her alcohol. He also asked her to buy him marijuana from other students.

Some texts between the staff member and the student were highly sexual, including “I’m ready to f*** right now … I’m not gonna be gentle either.” The staff member also “threatened to kill the student and her family” if she told anyone about the relationship.

Yet another incident involved a teacher asking “a fourth-grade student why her lips were chapped, and then stated that the student’s lips were chapped because she was ‘sucking dick.'”

One gym teacher exposed himself to a sophomore girl and sent a different 15-year-old student “photos and videos of himself masturbating and engaged in other sexual acts.”

An elementary school teacher “sexually touched” a male student over the course of several years, from ages 11 to 14. That teacher “spent the night in the student’s bedroom, having sex with the student.”

As Breitbart News reported, the Biden administration attempted to end the Trump-era reporting requirements for teachers who sexually assault students. Such a proposal would have seen only the 16 allegations with criminal charges included in national numbers, not the full 772.

It would have also made it easier for school districts to continue “passing the trash — relocating predator teachers without disclosing their conduct to the new district,” according to former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Sanctuary City Chicago: Arrests of Venezuelan Illegal Aliens Rise More than 11,000% Since 2021

Arrests of border crossers and illegal aliens from Venezuela have increased more than 11,000 percent since 2021 in the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, law enforcement records reveal.

Since the summer of last year, more than 22,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in Chicago after either successfully crossing the United States-Mexico border or having been released into the nation’s interior by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The majority of border crossers and illegal aliens in Chicago are from Venezuela.

According to Chicago Police Department records, exclusively obtained by CWB Chicago, illegal immigration to the city is helping drive a crime surge in which shoplifting has exploded.

In 2021, the Chicago Police Department made arrests of just six individuals who listed Venezuela as their birthplace. So far this year, nearly 700 Venezuelans have been arrested by the department — a more than 11,300 percent increase in less than two years.

Likewise, in 2019, the department arrested only 14 Venezuelans for crimes, while just seven were arrested in all of 2020, and 26 were arrested in 2022. Compared to last year, the number of Venezuelans being arrested by police has jumped more than 2,500 percent.

The rise in Chicago arrests among border crossers and illegal aliens from Venezuela can be traced directly  to Biden’s expansive catch and release network that DHS continues carrying out at the southern border.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, about 6.5 million border crossers and illegal aliens have been encountered at the border, a figure that far outpaces U.S. annual births. To date, millions have either successfully crossed the border or been released into American communities by Biden’s DHS.

The agency’s Inspector General estimates that more than 60,000 border crossers and illegal aliens are being released into the U.S. interior every month. Over the course of a year, this indicates that Biden’s DHS is releasing into American communities over 720,000 border crossers and illegal aliens.

Dem Sen. Bennet: Border Is ‘Overwhelmed’ But We Should Pass Ukraine Money Without Border

On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now,” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) acknowledged that gangs “have been smuggling people to the southern border of the United States. That’s overwhelmed the border in some respects.” But “Ukrainian aid should be funded without our getting to a deal on the border.”

Bennet said, “I believe that the Ukrainian aid should be funded without our getting to a deal on the border. I think that the case has been made, the Ukrainians have the receipts because of what they’ve done to push Putin out of half of the territory of Ukraine that he has occupied, to basically render the Black Sea fleet useless without even having a navy to continue this fight, as I say, for all of democracy. But having said all of that, there are some people here who are saying they want to use this to try to lever[age] a deal on the border. And I think that there’s — our border system needs to be improved. We have had a decade or so of transnational gangs that have been smuggling people to the southern border of the United States. That’s overwhelmed the border in some respects. And if we can come together in a bipartisan deal that’s rational, that’s consistent with our commitment to the rule of law and our history as a nation of immigrants, then by all means, we should do that. If we can’t, we should find a way to fulfill to our obligation to Ukraine.”

Latino Talkshow Host Scorches New York Mayor on Migration

Voters in New York oppose President Joe Biden’s migration, a top Latino talk show host told New York Mayor Eric Adams during an interview on November 27.

“New Yorkers are not happy with you because they think that we shouldn’t be receiving so many people here,” Dominican radio host Frederick Martínez, known commonly by his stage name “El Pachá,” told Adams during an interview with New York’s Mega 97.9 radio station on November 27.

Martínez is one of several hosts of the program “El Vacilón de la Mañana,” La Mega’s flagship morning news and entertainment program.

He said:

You have a very heavy weight on your shoulders in this city. I am pro-mayor … New Yorkers are not happy with you because they think that we shouldn’t be receiving so many people here. You have said it on several occasions that the city can’t take any more immigrants in New York. There is a survey that showed that New Yorkers want nothing with you because you have allowed all these immigrants. And I have been a defender of yours!

Martínez is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. In 2020, at least two-thirds of Dominican Republic immigrants voted for Biden.

Adams tried to dodge the blame, saying “One of the misunderstandings around this issue is that people believe that I have the power to stop people from coming in the city.”

“Well, you have two options,” El Pachá responded. ” You deport all these immigrants or you’re going to be f… as a mayor! … I have to tell it like it is!”

Adams faces the voters in November 2025.

Upon declaring himself “pro-mayor,” Martínez’s coworkers laughed at him, adding, “Yeah, to his face!”

Martínez has been critical of Adams on La Mega’s morning program regularly. In a broadcast a week prior to the interview with Adams, Martínez lamented, “New York is chaos, that is the most adequate term to define what is being lived in this city: restrictions, budget on the floor, now supposedly the mayor had an idea for parents to be volunteers since there are no police in the schools.”

“The critics have thrown the kitchen sink at him, the Mayor Eric Adams says his critics are dumb, they are buffoons,” Martínez observed, opening a segment asking listeners what they would do differently from Adams if they were mayor.

Towards the end of Adams’ appearance on the program, Martínez left him with a final message in English: “Mayor Eric Adams, the best the mayor de [sic] New York, only your problem [is] immigration!”

Commenters on La Mega’s Instagram page appeared to agree with Martínez.

“Mayor Adams hold on to your pants because we are fed up with the abuses with immigrants continuing to come in!!!!! The city is chaos, strong and firm hand!!!” one comment in Spanish read.

“Delinquency spanning the city and more cuts coming to take more police off the streets. I don’t even want to imagine where NYC is going to be by 2025. People spend their lives complaining but keep voting for the same Democrats,” one irate commenter railed. “They didn’t want [former Mayor Bill De Blasio] and then they came and put one in from the same little school and look how things are going. There is not a single police officer in New York who agrees with this mayor.”

Another commenter replied only with a GIF of former President Donald Trump smiling.

La Mega 97.9 is the New York area’s largest and most listened-to Spanish-language radio station, broadcasting both talk and music content. It has broken records for streaming in the United States, topping even English-language stations.

More than 100,000 southern migrants have flooded into New York since Biden’s deputies opened the border in 2021. The inflow has pushed down wages, spiked rents, and supercharged welfare costs in the city.

But Adams does not have the political clout to raise taxes on the investors and CEOs who profit from the migration, so he is cutting spending to help close a multibillion-dollar budget gap.

Adams’ fellow Democrats in Congress do not want to curb the inflow because it is a top priority for the Democrats’ nationwide alliance of business donors and progressives.

It is also a top priority for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), because elites in New York and other blue cities use migrants as a compliant and cheap replacement for the U.S. middle class.

A recent poll by the New York Times reported that a clear majority of Latinos in New York State view the Democrats’ migration as more of a burden than a benefit.

The October 15-19 poll showed that New Yorkers picked “burden” over “benefit” by 54 percent to 32 percent, with just five percent saying “mixed.”

Siena Poll

Fifty-three percent of Latino voters in New York said migration is a burden, while just 36 percent described it as a benefit.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Steps Down as Chairman of Revolt TV Network Amid Sexual Misconduct Accusations

The rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has stepped down as chairman of his Revolt TV network after he was hit with three sexual misconduct lawsuits that included disturbing accusations of rape and sex trafficking.

Revolt announced Combs’ resignation in an Instagram post Tuesday.

While some media reports have described the resignation as “temporary” or “stepping aside,” the company’ post simply stated that Combs “has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt.”

Revolt said Combs “has previously had no operational or day-to-day role” in running the business.

“This decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black [sic] people throughout this country and the African diaspora.”

As Breitbart News reported, Sean Combs was recently hit with three lawsuits in New York that were recently filed as part of the state’s Adult Survivors Act, which lifted the statute of limitations  on such complaints — with no time limit on when the alleged actions took place.

Combs settled the first suit just one day after it was filed. The suit was filed by R&B singer Cassie, who alleged rape, abuse, and sex trafficking.

Another suit, whose plaintiff remains anonymous, claims Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and one of her friends, either in 1990 or 1991.

YOU MEAN IT WAS REALLY RIGHT-WONGERS WHO BURNED THIS HOME DOWN KILLING THESE PEOPLE?!?

Alleged Hate Crime Victim in Texas Charged with Burning Down His Own House

SAN JACINTO COUNTY, Texas — A Texas man who claimed his house was sprayed with racist graffiti is now facing charges of burning down his own home. Two men, including a family member, reportedly died in the fire, and another person was seriously injured.

A San Jacinto County grand jury returned a true bill indictment against Waterwood resident Mario Roberson, Sheriff Greg Capers told Breitbart Texas on Tuesday. The grand jury charged Roberson with Felony Arson after an investigation by the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office into a June 10 fire that left two people dead and another seriously injured.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told Breitbart Texas that a warrant for Roberson’s arrest has not yet been issued. “We can’t do anything until we have a warrant for his arrest,” Capers explained. “The best thing Roberson can do would be to turn himself in.”

Roberson claimed earlier this year that his home was sprayed with graffiti that included racial slurs, KTRK ABC 13 reported.

“Racism, power, hungriness, money has gotten us to this place,” Roberson told ABC13 on the day of the June fire. Prior to that, KTRK interviewed Roberson regarding the racist graffiti. Roberson alleged someone sprayed his door with “We don’t like your kind,” followed by a racial slur.

Roberson blamed the Waterwood Property Owners Association for the attack. He said there was an ongoing dispute over short-term rentals in the subdivision.

KTRK REPORTED:

ABC13 obtained body-worn camera video from law enforcement at the fire scene on June 10.

In it, Roberson is heard telling authorities, “The neighbors called me. I kept hearing the phone ring. She said, ‘Mario, your house is on fire.’ I thought she was playing. She said, ‘Your truck.’ I come over here, and I didn’t expect to see this… Matter of fact, when this went down, I know y’all heard about this racist stuff that was sprayed on my door.”

According to neighbors, the man who survived the fire got out covered in flames. He drove a truck away from the scene and later crashed into a ditch. San Jacinto County deputies found him.

“I stepped in some gas,” the burned man told the deputy. “I’m burned up.”

When asked by the deputy what happened, the man said, “I’m telling you. I’m from Houston. This dude, he told me to bring him out here to Huntsville… He said somebody wants to do a numbers job on a house.”

Roberson faces a first-degree felony arson charge. If convicted on the charge, he could face a sentence of five to 99 years in a Texas prison.
