Illegal aliens are pouring over the border, breaking another record.
The question we have to ask is why not cross the border illegally. A Leftist group is practically giving away land in Texas.
And we avert another existential threat.
Dumbass of the Day
But It’s Secure
According to the New York Post:
A record-setting number of migrants crossed the southern border into the United States in September, with over 260,000 encounters reported by Customs and Border Protection in the last 30 days, according to a report.
The stunning figure — which is roughly the population of St. Petersburg, Florida — is the highest monthly total ever reported by border officials as the country grapples with the migrant crisis, CBP sources told Fox News.
That number includes both CBP encounters between ports of entry and Office of Field Operations (OFO) encounters at ports, Fox reported.
The previous record was set last December, when CBP officials reported 252,320 migrant encounters.
Crossings were trending downward through much of the new year however they skyrocketed in recent months. Just last week, CBP announced there were at least 230,000 migrant encounters in August.
By the way, that means 8700 are crossing a day. Remember, New York is screaming when they get 1000 illegal aliens a month.
The Ruin of the Country Has Been Stayed (Sarcasm)
The world was going to catch fire this weekend. That’s right, another existential threat. This time, it involved the mail not running on time. That’s right, a government shutdown.
Here is Rosa DeLauro, purple hair and all, saying that people will actually DIE is we do not pass legislation that keeps the government open. Let’s listen to her so we can get the full effect of how devastating this will be.
OK, let’s get some things straight. This is not a big deal! The world will not end. A few services would be suspended. Everyone would get back pay. The military will get paid. The mail will arrive on Monday. People will have heat! (By the way, isn’t this enough proof not to trust or depend on the government).
Well, all the pearl-clutchers can calm down.
According to the Daily Wire:
The Senate passed a bill late Saturday night to keep the U.S. government open and running through mid-November.
The bill was passed 88-9 with Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Mike Braun (R-IN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Mike Lee (R-UT), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Rand Paul (R-KY), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and J.D. Vance (R-OH) voting “no.”
The Senate passed the bill after the House passed the bill earlier in the day with 335 votes — 209 Democrats and 126 Republicans.
The funding includes $16 billion in “disaster relief funds, an extension of a federal flood insurance program and FAA reauthorization — but no Ukraine aid,” The Washington Post reported.
Essentially the Republicans agreed to let the government be funded (spending more than they take in) for another month. The big things republicans wanted, they didn’t get but they did pull the Ukraine funding from the budget.
Did you get that? Ukraine funding was in the bill to keep the government open! By the way, what was also pulled from the bill was funding for border security. The two sides decided to negotiate that separately.
This really upset a bunch of democrats and a bunch of republicans. None of them wanted the vote to go through.
The republicans want a whole lot of spending stopped. A lot of this is nanny state crap like food stamps and welfare. Now, I agree with this. Here’s the problem, none of this is going to happen with a democratic senate and president. He should have tried to do some of this crap when republicans had both houses and the presidency. Nothing happened.
By the way, this was one of the failures of the Trump presidency.
Now Matt Gaetz wants to have Kevin McCarthy kicked out of the speakership. He is joined by some of the dumber republicans of the House such as Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert. Again, I agree we need to control spending, but it’s not going to happen the way the government is set up now.
Who else wanted this spending bill not to pass and the government to shutdown was the far Left. They wanted the government to shutdown because then they could blame the republicans. They knew there was no way to stop it so they decided to pull a little trick.
That’s right. Welcome back to high school!
According to the Post Millennial:
Far left Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was seen pulling a fire alarm at the House office building on Saturday as Democrats were attempting to impede a vote on a Republican-backed stopgap spending bill.
Footage captured showed alarms ringing in the US Capitol building.
Bowman was caught triggering the alarm on camera.
“This is the United States Congress, not a New York City high school. To pull the fire alarm to disrupt proceedings when we are trying to draft legislation to AVERT A SHUTDOWN is pathetic…even for members of the socialist squad,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Of course, Jamaal Bowman, being completely caught, decides to lie his way out of it. He released a statement and it was pretty weak tea.
Yeah, bullshit. Nobody believes this. Especially since it was all caught on video. Even the media and other Leftists don’t buy it.
Kevin McCarthy had something to say about it:
Karma is a bitch! With all the BS with January 6th, it’s going to be hard to defend this. This is actual interference of a government process. And it was done on purpose.
Democrats don’t even know how to react to this. They can’t say it was no big deal. This is a felony and the entire building was evacuated. It also delayed the vote by over two hours. A little too close to how long the delay was for the certification vote during January 6th. I also want to point out this is a felony.
Here is Hakeem Jeffries hemming and hawing about the incident.
In his defense, he doesn’t know what to say. This is probably the best statement any democrat can make outside of just saying this guy is a jerkoff and will face consequences. That would be the best thing anyone could say.
Well, leave it to the squad to say something stupid and try to defend this asshole. Here is AOC on Face the Nation with Jake Tapper. Of course, when pushed back upon, AOC goes into full filibuster mode and just keeps talking:
She droned on for another three minutes. Jake Tapper was looking at her like she was a moron.
This is nothing more than what-about-ism. By the way, no one is defending George Santos. The guy is going to get primaried next year with republican support. Also, George Santos never stopped a political process by committing a felony. So there’s that.
Now, what should happen:
- Jamaal Bowman should be charged with a felony and be dragged into court.
- Jamaal Brown should be expelled from Congress. Here, we have a high crime.
- If nothing happens, which will be the case, we should never again hear about January 6th.
- No investigations.
There is no need for investigations and hearings. Republicans just need to do what needs to be done and stop beating-around-the-bush. They need to grow some balls.
