  1. Everyone already knew this, but Dems are just into child mutilation.

    “Rent is too high”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    “Groceries cost too much”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    “There’s not enough jobs”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    “Women don’t feel safe walking down the street”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    “Traffic is terrible!”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    “Healthcare is too expensive”

    Probably bc of the extra 20 million people

    Yet these same people want to invite everyone into our great country and wonder why importing the third world has made life in America objectively worse over 20 years”

  3. Every Dem run state does this.

    It’s fraud, they know it, but that’s how they win elections.

    That and counting illegals in the census for more dem reps.

  4. And yes, they know it. This allows them to continue to pretend we don’t have an illegal immigrant crime problem.

    It also hides the fact that the White crime rate is 20 to 30% lower than they allege as a result of these intentional misidentifying of Hispanics.

    “This is a huge undertaking with some alarming findings.

    As it turns out, very large portions of Hispanic criminals are being misclassified as “White” and this has a big effect:

    The Hispanic crime rate is conservatively being underestimated by 20%, and possibly by 30%!”

  5. And it’s not just blue states doing it.

    Note also that this is why the Biden admin dumped massive amounts of illegals in red states.

    “I have spent the last 72 hours running through thousands of arrest records in North Carolina.

    I’ve looked at something like 10,000 arrests.

    What I’m discovering is so shocking, so horrifying, it cannot be a coincidence.

    Hundreds of individuals are clearly being mislabeled in the arrest records system.It’s not a one-off or remotely rare.

    There are hundreds of these, possibly thousands… just in North Carolina.

    The clearest and most damning examples are when a repeat offender is arrested multiple times and his race is obviously changed between arrests.

    I found at least 18 instances of this.

    Here’s the kicker… it NEVER happens the other way.

    White men are NEVER labelled hispanic.

    Neither are black men.”

  6. I see all the uniparty clowns are gathered for Cheney’s funeral.

    Bush, Biden, Pence, even Al Gore.

    It’s comical to see so many Dems in attendance behind them, since Cheney was the face of evil to them for decades, but now, the Bad Orange Man has united America’s enemies.

  8. A quick search tells me there are about 14-15 million illegal migrants in the US, not 20 million. They compromised about 2-3% of the population. I find it hard to believe such a small group has so much power. However the top 2% of the US controls about 40% of America’s wealth. If you are looking for a small group with lots of power I suggest you look there.

    Rent is too high because private equity firms have bought up vast amounts of rental property and then used algorithms to maximise the rent for each locale.

    Groceries cost too much because wages have kept up with inflation. And retailers work together in an oligopoly fixing prices for basic goods and engage in predatory pricing to drive out independents. Meanwhile the Trump admin placed tariffs on foods (coffee, bananas, etc) not even grown in the US (they have since rescinded it but not before prices went up)

    There are not enough jobs because of automation, out sourcing and AI. Most jobs now are b.s. and redundancies will continue.

    Women have rarely felt safe walking down the street and rarely do many men care unless it’s a relative or it suits them politically. In reality, violent rime is a 40-50 year low.

    Healthcare is too expensive. American healthcare has always been too expensive — cost containment measures in the US are minimal and exploiting the sick for profit seems to be the American way for decades..

    Immigrants aren’t the problem. You can lock them all up and the problems will remain.

  9. That Charlotte map was amusing — no time stamps. I can do the same for Toronto. Screen shot at 5 pm and screen shot at 3 am. Besides I thought all the migrants were poor, depressing wages, and collecting gov’t benefits. How could they afford all those cars.

    According to the BBC, 250 alleged migrants were arrested in Charlotte in the last few weeks. (its not know whether they were actually illegal) Even if the 250 persons all own their own cars, I can’t see them causing that much traffic

  10. Insurrection!😡 they need to be brought up on charges of treason!

    In a stunning display of journalistic integrity, a rarity in today’s liberal media landscape, Fox News’s Martha MacCallum delivered a masterclass in holding power to account. She left Democratic Congressman Jason Crow utterly embarrassed and exposed after he participated in a video that essentially called for a soft coup against the duly elected President, Donald J. Trump. The congressman, along with several of his Democratic colleagues, had the audacity to instruct members of the United States military to betray their Commander-in-Chief by refusing so-called “illegal” orders, a dangerous and seditious suggestion that borders on treason.

    The encounter was a necessary service for the American people, cutting through the vague and alarmist rhetoric that has become the hallmark of the left’s resistance to President Trump’s America First agenda. MacCallum, with precision and factual clarity, dismantled the congressman’s entire argument, revealing it to be nothing more than a hollow political stunt designed to create fear and unrest within the ranks of our nation’s armed forces. She pointed out the glaring and intentional vagueness at the heart of the Democrats’ manufactured crisis.

    Maccallum directly challenged the congressman on his inability to articulate a single, concrete policy or action that warranted his inflammatory language. She pointedly asked, “You’re not talking about actual policy, you’re not talking about things that our service members are actually being asked to do, so when you see this video all over the place on social media, a lot of people see this and say, ‘What exactly are they talking about?’ Are they talking about not allowing gunboats to make it to the United States carrying drugs?” This line of questioning forced Crow onto the defensive, where he remained for the entirety of the interview, unable to provide a coherent answer.

    The congressman’s response was to deflect and obfuscate, offering nothing but empty platitudes about “preventing things from happening before they become a problem.” MacCallum correctly identified this as a non-answer, highlighting that the proactive measures taken by the Trump administration are precisely aimed at prevention. She repeatedly pressed him to name a specific, unlawful order, a challenge to which he had no substantive reply. The exchange laid bare the fact that the Democrats’ hysteria is not based on reality, but on a pathological opposition to President Trump and his popular, America-first policies.

    “What specific order from the commander-in-chief that we are asking our military to carry out are you objecting to? This is very, very vague. No one could figure out what you were talking about, honestly,” MacCallum stated, echoing the confusion and frustration of millions of Americans who are tired of the left’s baseless fear-mongering. Crow could only fall back on vague references to “disturbing comments,” proving that his argument was built on sand, unable to withstand the slightest scrutiny from a journalist actually doing her job rather than acting as a mouthpiece for the Democratic party.

    The humiliation deepened when MacCallum turned to foreign policy, specifically President Trump’s successful and decisive actions to neutralize threats without committing to endless ground wars. When Crow tried to criticize actions against Iran and the Houthis, MacCallum cornered him with a direct question about a key achievement of this administration. “So we aided a mission by Israel in Iran, did you have a problem taking out Iranian nuclear facilities?” she asked. The congressman’s flustered response, which attempted to claim there has been more military conflict under President Trump, was factually and logically dismantled.

    MacCallum expertly clarified the President’s position, stating, “He (Trump) wants to prevent war; he wants to extract us from situations. We said from the beginning that we would not have boots on the ground.” This stands in stark contrast to the warmongering records of many of Trump’s opponents. Throughout the interview, MacCallum maintained a relentless focus on the core issue: the Democrats were issuing a seditious call to the military based on pure fantasy. “You have not outlined any specific unlawful order,” she concluded, delivering the final blow to an argument that was never grounded in reality to begin with

  11. Race classification can get weird. For decades, the US census considered Middle Eastern and North Africans “white”. Its now using MENA as a category separate from white, hispanic, black, asian, etc

    Hispanic is hard to define. And for the most part its up to the person to self identify or in the person creating the file. For example, in booking a criminal it can be left to the person doing the booking or the person being booked. How do you distinguish between white and hispanic. Spanish and Portuguese are often classified as white because they are from Europe but visually their complexion isn’t much different than some Latin Americans.

    Within Latin America, people are usually classified as white, mixed, native, and African. Mixed or mestizos is usually what Americans refer to as Hispanic. Hence, white people can migrate from Latin America to the US. Similarly, how do you define African American — do you use the one drop rule? or is self-identification? or is it by the person doing the classification? African Americans commit have a disproportionate higher crime rate or is that because they self-identify in lower numbers on the census but then are identified by the one drop rule by police?

    In all, crime based stats are hard to take seriously.

    The FBI has weird stats and its difficult to read but it appears that Hispanics are submerged into “white” crime and then separated, which is odd. As I read it. Hispanic commit 20% of white crime or about 12% of the crime in America which is either roughly equal to their demographic presence or actually lower than expected.

    Looking at the numbers, there’s a lot of fear mongering here.

  12. kathaleena — I read the alpha article — that’s pretty standard behaviour in any fraud case; in fact I’m surprised she spent any time in jail. However, the DWI in Canada would’ve got her at least 90 days.

    30 some years ago my brother tried to convince me to apply to teaching jobs in the US. Before I was hired here, I did a little research and Minnesota was one of the few places I would think of applying — New England being the other. According to the Human Development Index, Minnesota ranks third in the US and higher than Germany. its one of the best places to live in the US. It ranks better than Ontario (Canada and the US are roughly equal and have many of the same problems)

    Not saying that Minnesota doesn’t have problems but its one of the better places in the US.

  13. The August jobs numbers were in the negative while September numbers were higher than expected at 120 000. Unemployment is also slightly higher, which is a bit strange. There’s some doubt expressed on the September numbers given their delay and the political interference over the summer in the BLS. Given August and September numbers, I find the 2.5 million job number posted on X somewhat doubtful. And I’m not even sure how you can count migrant job losses.

    Agreed on the Uniparty comment and the Cheney funeral. Harris and her advisers will never admit but one of the reasons behind her loss was her acceptance/pursuit of Cheney’s endorsement. Its highly probable that the Cheney endorsement and her/Biden policy toward Israel was the reason behind the Michigan defeat.

    The disinformation on some of your “news” sources can be amusing Aber Kawas, who Mamdani endorsed, was born in Brooklyn; she’s an American. She did not just come to the US; she returned to the US after studying abroad. Islamic liberation theology is partially based on Catholic liberation theology, more or less a left wing social -economic movement with religious roots.

  14. NJ — when comparing Canada to the US in statistics, I divide by 10. So an accurate comparison would be 1.4 million. And obviously I think that’s too many people. Just a few days ago, I disagreed with our gov’ts decision to bring in 400 000 legal immigrants instead of the usual 200 000. In addition I also object to our gov’ts expansion of the temporary worker program over 10 years ago to include retail and service workers. However, I won’t blame these migrants for grocery prices (esp in Canada where 5 companies control retail grocery shoppping), housing prices or even traffic problems.

    Overwhelming migration can bring problems especially if gov’ts and nations under fund basic infrastructure, which is the case in Canada. But we don’t need to blame them for everything and spread fear and scapegoating.

  16. a fake-news reporter for defending Democrat calls for military insurrection.

    Leavitt unloaded:

    “They are literally telling 1.3 million active-duty service members to DEFY the chain of command!”

    Reporter tries to spin it: “They meant illegal orders!”

    Karoline crushes her:

    “The President has given NO illegal orders.

    Every single order goes through the lawful chain of command — and the courts have

    PROVEN that.”

    She ends with a kill shot:

    “Encouraging troops to defy the Commander in Chief is dangerous. These members of Congress MUST be held accountable – and that’s exactly what the President wants.”

    It is interesting that those not living in this country can criticize our “ un compassionate” treatment of illegal invaders yet they don’t want them in their own country. Rules for thee but not for me syndrome…

  17. hrw, yes, MN has always been a great place to live. Unfortunately, we have seen that greatness erode. Our schools used to be top in the nation, for example, and now we have many that graduate students who cannot read and write. Our taxes have never been low, but now taxes and fees are multiplied and multiplied. It is sad to observe.
