At my niece’s inauguration as president of Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA), the event was marred by pro Hamas protestors. The delegates were in their academic regalia in a building across from the campus auditorium of Pomona College. Before the doors opened to the auditorium around two dozen protestors covered themselves with sheets and lay down blocking the entrance. After about an hour delay, the police escorted the platform speakers and family into the auditorium through the back door. The rest of the delegates and the audience were taken to another facility on the Mudd campus where the inauguration was live streamed. The police would not open the front door to prevent the protestors from coming inside the auditorium. I, and a few others, were upset. But my niece and most of the delegates who were from other universities were not. Later at lunch, one college president just shrugged off the protest saying “This is the world in which we now live.” Here in Knoxville, the protestors would have been asked to leave and if they refused, would have been “escorted” away. Later there was a campus lunch under a massive tent where the delegates, students and townspeople gathered. It was the perfect venue for a protest. Instead, it was peaceful, uneventful and celebratory. I wonder if any of the protestors were there enjoying the wonderful cuisine?
The early polls show Biden may lose 40 percent of the Hispanic votes. I thought the Hispanics were supposed to be overwhelmingly democrats? On my annual deer hunting trip to Eagle Pass, TX – the epicenter of the illegal immigrant crisis – the rancher’s wife and mother who are Mexican-Americans are incredibly vocal to being inundated with illegals. That area ousted their democrat congressman with a republican. Apparently, the Hispanics are not embracing the inflow.
Fox News is the only media outlet that regularly broadcasts from Eagle Pass. They are actually doing a disservice because they only interview the white ranchers. They should be exclusively interviewing the town residents who have seen their social services, hospitals and town overwhelmed by the illegals. Eagle Pass is a town of 28,000 residents – mostly Hispanic. The number of illegal encounters by the Border Patrol is often 4,000 a day. On top of that number there are the gotaways, mostly young men who do not turn themselves in claiming asylum. Overall it is estimated that during Biden’s term, over 10 million illegals have entered the country. Most will stay. Also, illegals from 145 countries have come across the border. Those from Central America outnumber those coming from Mexico.
Again, what is the motivation for the democrats’ open door policy? The notion that they are importing new voters, as I have often noted, is likely to fail since most Hispanics are practicing Catholics, opposed to LBGTQ+, hardworking and have nuclear families. They also resent because called “Latinx” – the woke term loved by the left. Anyway, illegals cannot vote in national elections and there is pushback in the leftist communities who want to let them vote in local elections. Some say that the elite on the left support the inflow for the cheap labor. They need construction workers, workers in packing plants, lawn service and labor for menial jobs. But that would alienate labor unions and those minorities being displaced by the illegals. Another reason is that the influx is needed to save social security with new contributors to bolster the social security “fund”. The final reason is to preserve national political power with the illegals replacing the citizens who have fled democrat run states. The Census count on which congressional representation is based, does not ask for citizenship status.
Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, on the Senate floor called for the ouster of Netanyahu. I don’t know if this is unprecedented but I don’t remember Schumer calling for a regime change in Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Congo, China of even Iran. What gives? The Israelis are united on this issue and Netanyahu is likely the most “moderate” of the Israeli leaders. An election at this juncture would see someone more closely aligned to the Zionists as president. That president would have less regard for civilians, try to oust the Palestinians from the West Bank and call for a resettlement of Gaza. Schumer has always been a manipulative schemer but I never thought he was a fool.
Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema the two democrat senators opposed to ending the filibuster are leaving the senate. (Yes I know Sinema is an “independent”). Manchin is going to be replaced by a republican. The democrat running to replace Sinema (Rep. Ruben Gallego) calls the filibuster a “Jim Crow relic”. Guess we know where he stands. I have no doubt that if the dems keep control of the Senate that they will vote to end the filibuster. The next time the House, Senate and president are all democrats, the filibuster – the only firewall left to stanch the march to socialism – will disappear.
Musk’s brain implant is frightening. Brain implants, AI and a national digital currency will lead to total government control regardless of which party is in power because in the end neither party would be able to resist the temptation to control the masses.
