“You need to watch the full 11 minute local news interview Kamala did tonight. This is her first solo interview since she became the nominee on July 21st & it’s an unmitigated disaster. This person does not have the ability to be president. Watch:”
That interview with Kamala says nothing for the masses. Her economic plan targets a few, mostly young people who are trying to get started and want to start a small business. Most small businesses fail within five years. A big bunch of debt for taxpayers to cover for nothing. By pushing abortion, the number of childcare tax credits goes down saving taxpayers money. Such a fascinating economic policy.
The American dream is not gone. Our Ethiopian son moved to the States when he was nine. After a failed adoption, he moved here at thirteen and was in fifth grade. He attended the youth challenge, graduated from high school, and moved out at seventeen. From there, he joined the Navy and got out after three years. He worked with his sister and brother in law where he learned carpentry and how to flip a house. With the savings he had accrued over five or six years, he bought a house when he was twenty three. He worked on the house and brought in tenants. At twenty six, he has had several offers to buy his house at three times what he paid. He has worked hard and been frugal with his money.
Another son left home at eighteen, worked in cabinetry, then a grocery store. Then went to truck driving school, became a long haul trucker. He too was frugal and is now looking to buy remote land where he intends to build his home. He has the resources to do it.
Another son went to college and received an associates degree in aviation mechanics. He has been gainfully employed to the point where he has fun through over a million dollars with nothing to show for it.
Those were all special needs children who received no government help after eighteen. Nor any real family help other than a listening ear and advice except in the case of the destitute one who borrowed money and did not return it for school.
Four bio children all left home and with little assistance, all got college degrees or Masters and have all purchased at least one home in their early twenties. All have legitimate careers.
The American dream is well within reach of those who are willing to work and save.
The article Kathaleena linked is important. I didn’t realize that 96% of abortions happen before 15 weeks. So a “pro-life” 15-week ban prohibits only 4% of all abortions.
Recently, I mentioned that I receive the daily Tangle newsletters that give the various views on important news stories. (One news story each day.) Here is a longer-than-usual one that takes a look at the recent debate:
That is an interesting post, Kizzie, but some of the so-called fact checks are simply not true. For example, when speaking of inflation there are items that have double or more than doubled in price. Eggs certainly have where we live. I know of other items as well. Inflation can be tricky depending on how it is determined and for how long.
Also, not all abortions done in late term are unviable fetuses. In our state Walz voted against the born alive act to help those babies. We know some are viable because we have adults who were aborted, and many are still living. Now they can speak for themselves.
Good to see these resourceful and perceptive young journalists recognizing the serious challenges that are really devastating our political discourse as a nation — and being creative enough to rise to the occasion to reinvent a new business model (that I hope can shine the way forward for others).
Perfect? No. And there will always be constraints in space and attention span considerations for detailed sub-info, even online — but good for them in making an effort to better inform people with a fair look at the different arguments.
“Did you think Kamala was flying them to Martha’s Vineyard?- 81% (362,000/448,000) of her irregular Haitians somehow went to states that voted against her in 2020.
If you look closely at the graph, you can just barely see when she started flying them into your neighborhood.”
I like the way Isaac Saul wraps up Thursday’s Tangle newsletter:
~ “The unfortunate thing about these distracting headlines is that they miss what is otherwise a very interesting, important, and compelling story about both the pros and cons of immigration — and how mass immigration can impact small American towns. […]
To some, the Haitian immigrants (who, to repeat, are there legally) are an unambiguous positive. They are being hailed by business owners as good workers who show up on time, mind their own business, don’t do drugs, and work hard. Teachers say their children are enriching the learning environment and adding an interesting layer of diversity to the schools. Local church leaders say the pews are full again (many Haitians are devout Catholics). For landlords, they are tenants who will pay their rent on time and even pay more than they could get previously, because some are willing to live in groups inside a single-family home. To these people, Haitian immigrants are revitalizing the town — bringing back jobs, supporting industry, and making housing more competitive.
But many locals have a different perspective: Longtime Springfield residents are struggling, and some say they are being priced out of housing because the Haitian migrants arrive with jobs and government assistance. The Haitians are apparently having a very hard time driving safely in town, and have been involved in many accidents (more than just the one that killed 11-year-old Aidan Clark, whose dad has publicly asked people not to use his son to demonize the immigrant community). Healthcare services are harder to get. Schools are being pushed to their limits with enrollment. Budgets for social services are ballooning because of the need to hire Creole speakers and ESL teachers.
This story — one where a wave of immigrants can simultaneously help revitalize certain industries while also pushing government resources and housing to the brink — this is a fascinating story about how immigration in the U.S. works today. It is big and messy and not unambiguously good or bad. It’s the story we should be talking about, and solving for.
We might discuss, for instance, why Haitian immigrants with jobs are being given a year of food stamps and government assistance through refugee programs when they are gainfully employed with stable housing. We might debate why these services seem more accessible to immigrants than to local U.S. residents. We might discuss how to better train foreign citizens to drive in the U.S. before they put themselves and their neighbors in danger. We might ask what kind of programs the employers (who clearly want these workers) or local religious groups can provide to lessen the burden on government services that are being overwhelmed so that veterans don’t have to wait in line for hours to receive their benefits. […]
These immigrants are here, so how do we harness the good and mitigate the bad? 20,000 people from a desperately poor and violent country came to a small town with a clearly stated desire: They want to work. They have a different culture, a different language, and a desire to build a good life among their neighbors. Some will be bad apples, but most will do their best to make a living and get along with their neighbors (even the ones who call them “sand monkeys” when they commit the crime of waving hello).
So what can we do? How can we solve that problem, or preempt it in the first place? How can we embrace a population wanting to work while also not overlooking the population that is already here? The answer will often be to put limits on mass migration, but we also need solutions for the more complex reality of when the migration has already happened.
I don’t have all the answers, but I’d love it if we started by asking the right questions.” ~
It seems that the influx of waves of immigrants have always caused these upsets in the areas in which they landed, so to speak. Each wave over the years has met with some anger distrust from the populace who was already here.
Changing and adapting to new circumstances (from the perspective of both the new immigrants and the citizens) has never been easy. Things are eventually worked out, but it takes a while.
The Tangle article Kizzie quoted brings up excellent points. It also demonstrates why immigration must be well controlled. Historically our country has slowed immigration to a trickle after large influxes to allow for both the immigrant and the country to adjust to each other. We don’t do that any more. I think neither party wants to have the hard conversation because the Uni-party (otherwise known as centrist Republicans and Democrats) both have an interest in uncontrolled illegal immigration. Republicans like it because it provides cheap, desperate labor, and Democrats like it because it increases their base. At times Trump does inflame the issue with his rhetoric, but unfortunately it seems to require that kind of energy to even build a simple wall to staunch the flow.
Compassion for those coming here to escape legally. People are fed up.
The gang members have since spread out across the state — taking over apartment complexes, dealing drugs and robbing jewelry stores.
“This isn’t just a decision that Denver gets to make because,” Castle Rock Town Councilmember Max Brooks told CBS Colorado. “The idea is to join with other municipalities and say it’s time to stop.”
Another Denver suburb, Parker, is also exploring legal action, CBS reported, as well as the city of Aurora — which has gained national attention for its problems with the gang.
Meanwhile, Douglas County, where Castle Rock is located, has joined a group of six Colorado counties suing the state and Democratic Gov. Jared Polis over laws they claim limit their ability to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
My experience with groups of people sharing a living space meant for a few people, back in the early eighties:
My apartment mate and I shared a two bedroom apartment. A group of people from another nation moved in, probably Hispanics, but I am not sure from where they came. At some point another group began to alternate staying in the apartment during working and sleeping hours so a group was always in there using the space. It cut their rent costs in half to share that way. It was also against the apartment rules to sublease like that. I have no idea who turned them in or if the management or maintenance guy noticed, but when they moved out, my tires got slashed. To put that much wear and tear on housing is not fair to the landlords. I can’t say what the solution is. I just know what I saw firsthand years ago.
“CNN now reporting that the shots were in fact intended for President Trump. Authorities recovered a backpack with a GoPro camera and an AK-47. This contradicts other reporting that suggested this was gunfire between two individuals outside the club and not intended for Trump.”
“Donald Trump just survived a second assassination attempt per @seanhannity. Shots fired at him while he was on the fifth hole of his golf course. This is twice in 60 days they have tried to kill him. Are you paying attention yet?”
Re: Taylor Swift’s public endorsement of Kamala Harris for president – One of the reasons she has made this public is because there have been AI-generated photos on Trump’s Truth Social account making it look like she supports him.
What a sad situation to have another attempt at killing the former president and to want to film it.
My parents once rented out a 1/2 house they owned. A couple showed up to rent it. A month later the owner in the other half called and asked my folks to check things out because of all the people living there. The place was trashed by the time they got the tenants out. The brand-new carpet had to be replaced. The walls all had to be repaired. The bathroom had to be cleaned starting with a spatula. It was beyond disgusting. After cleaning and fixing the damage, they sold it to a relative. That ended a brief foray into being landlords.
It is easy to speak of compassion (and yes, Jesus said we are to be compassionate. Paul did, too, and yet said not to give to those who won’t work). What that constitutes is a huge question. Which brings us to the Good Samaritan, I guess. It is easiest to speak of compassion when what someone does doesn’t affect us. I am not aiming that charge at anyone here, just pointing out the reality of it.
Swift would not have had to endorse anyone, of course. It’s a free country, though, so I have no problem with her doing so. Of course, I don’t buy her product, so my opinion is not important to her.
Media outlets operate with some guidelines required by editors who try not to report beyond what has been confirmed by reputable/inside sources. They don’t (can’t) operate like social media so that usually explains what is perceived as not reporting something as quickly as online chatter. Even if another news outlet reports something, each outlet ideally tries to confirm it separately, even if they publish it 5 minutes later than a competitor.
I noticed it today also with the reporting of the suspect’s name — but again, editors will require those things get nailed down, confirmed with more than one source (unless that one source is an inside law enforcement official) before going with it and taking a chance on ruining someone’s life.
We’re all used to social media, unfortunately. But we also need to appreciate some care being taken to make sure information it correct.
“All the usual breaking news caveats apply here. Nobody knows what the facts are yet, which is precisely why the public needs rapid, reliable, and non-evasive answers from the agencies you pay to provide them.”
But yes, I am concerned for Trump’s safety. For Harris’ as well, although we have not heard of any attempts yet on her life. And hopefully there won’t be any, nor any more on Trump.
I apologize for my untimely comments. My excuse is that I am quite overtired, and nothing feels real, messing with my thinking processes. A very strange feeling. Like Alice in Wonderland or something. Even as I commented, I had a feeling that it was out of sync with whatever else is going on.
As I stand here typing this, my mind feels fuzzy. I had better go get ready for bed. Again, feeling very strange in my head.
Kizzie, it happens, I would guess we’ve all left accidental mis-timed comments. Grace –
I am so grateful that the agent managed to spot that gun barrel. But much damage has been done, damage that the nation can ill afford right now. All very sad.
Praying we find our way through this as a country and we will move on to better days ahead once this all is behind us. I think back to 1968 and what a horrible, violent year that was — somehow, we got through it.
