Analysis: Mass Immigration Drastically ‘Reshaping’ the American South
JOHN BINDER 2 Jul 2024 3:23
(I feel sick.)
Mass immigration, both illegal and legal, is dramatically “reshaping the American South” more than any other region of the United States, research from the Center for Immigration Studies shows.
The analysis, conducted by Steven Camarota, looks at the expansive growth of the nation’s foreign-born population, which has reached an unprecedented 51.6 million — the largest ever in American history.
“Immigration policy is reshaping the American South more than any other part of the country,” Camarota writes.
The South has the largest share of the foreign-born population today where 19 million foreign-born residents live, followed by the West with almost 16 million, the Northeast with 10.3 million, and the Midwest with 5.7 million.
Chart via Center for Immigration Studies
Today, the South’s foreign-born population is nearly equivalent to what the foreign-born population was in 1990 when 19.7 million foreign-born residents lived in the U.S. In the last 34 years, the foreign-born population in the South has exploded by 317 percent.
Meanwhile, the foreign-born population in the Midwest has grown 172 percent and 104 percent in the West, as well as 97 percent in the Northeast, Camarota finds:
By 2024, the South accounted for 37.3 percent of the total foreign-born population in the United States, compared to 23.2 percent in 1990 or 31.9 percent as recently as 2010. [Emphasis added]
In 1990, 5.4 percent of the South’s total population was foreign-born; this was the highest percent ever recorded up to that time for the region. At almost 15 percent today, the share has nearly tripled since 1990, which is unprecedented in southern history. [Emphasis added]
Chart via Center for Immigration Studies
Some southern states have been more impacted than others by mass immigration.
For example, in 1990, Texas and Florida were the only two southern states that had more than half a million foreign-born residents. Today, six southern states had foreign-born populations that exceed a million: Texas, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia.
At the same time, Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia have seen little growth in their foreign-born populations. In each state, the foreign-born population represents less than five percent of the total population.
The findings are significant as they could help shift the nation’s electorate.
Annually, the U.S. admits more than a million foreign nationals on green cards — about 7-in-10 of whom arrive through the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens can sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards.
In addition, another million foreign nationals are admitted on temporary work visas every year. On top of this historically high level of legal immigration, potentially millions of illegal aliens arrive in the U.S. every few years in the hopes of resettling permanently without being deported.

Threat Level on U.S. Military Bases in Europe Raised After Biden’s Poor Debate Performance
KRISTINA WONG 2 Jul 2024 3:19
The United States military commander for forces in Europe raised the protection level for U.S. military bases and forces after President Joe Biden’s weak debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said it was due to a “combination of factors and not related to a single threat.”
“This was done out of an abundance of caution. I won’t get into more specifics, other than that, but I’d refer you to [European Command] for any more questions that you have on force protection measures,” she said at a press conference on Monday.
She said she could not speak to the reasons behind the decision, but that the commander, Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli felt additional steps were needed to “increase vigilance for our service members, for their families.”
Trump Campaign Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday linked Biden’s doddering debate performance to an increased risk to the U.S.
“This past weekend, after the debate performance, U.S. military bases in Europe have been put on high alert for a credible terrorist threat. The world is taking advantage of our country because it sees how weak it is,” she said during an interview on Fox News.
According to military newspaper Stars and Stripes, the Stuttgart Army garrison issued a community-wide alert that the force protection level was elevated to condition “Charlie” until further notice, and similar directives were sent to bases in Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, and Italy.
The U.S. Army’s website explained that the Charlie threat level “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely.”
Charlie is the second highest protection level, after Delta, which applies in “the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent.”
Troops in Italy were advised not to wear their uniforms to and from work, a source told military whistleblowers at Terminal CWO. The source said his or her command sent the following message:
Due to increase [sic] security posture, all transit to and from work in uniform is prohibited effective immediately and until further notice. This proactive measure is part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all personnel, families, and assets. Personnel are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or behaviors to installation security immediately.
FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Congress in April about a heightened risk from a terrorist attack in the United States.
In written testimony, he said since Hamas’s attack in Israel on October 7, “we’ve seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies.”
“Given those calls for action, our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” he said.

Second Democratic Congress member declares no confidence in Biden’s 2024 candidacy, says Trump ‘is going to win’
By Josh Christenson Published July 2, 2024 Updated July 2, 2024, 4:50 p.m. ET
(Thus proving there are Democrats with brains. I like what this man has to say.)
As of Tuesday afternoon, just one sitting Congressional Democrat — Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas — had called on Biden to bow out of the race, and another — Rep. Jared Golden of Maine — suggested it did not matter since it “has been clear … for months … Donald Trump is going to win.”
Golden (D-Me.) wrote in an op-ed for the Bangor Daily News that the 81-year-old president’s “poor performance” in his debate last week against Donald Trump “was not a surprise” but demurred about whether Biden should actually step aside and allow another Democrat to top the ticket, dismissing it as “post-debate hand-wringing.”
“Biden’s poor performance in the debate was not a surprise,” Golden wrote. “It also didn’t rattle me as it has others, because the outcome of this election has been clear to me for months: While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that.”
According to a CNN/SSRS poll released on Tuesday, 75% of registered voters after the disastrous debate say the Democratic Party has a better shot at keeping the White House if Biden steps down.
Notably, 56% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents who were surveyed agreed with that.
Maine Rep. Jared Golden on Tuesday became the second member of Congress to declare he had no confidence in his party’s frontrunner, President Biden.

“There are winners and losers in every election,” Golden went on. “Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy.”
“I reject the premise,” Golden said in a shot across the bow to the president’s re-election campaign messaging. “Unlike Biden and many others, I refuse to participate in a campaign to scare voters with the idea that Trump will end our democratic system.”
The co-chair of the moderate House Blue Dog Coalition also rejected any “pearl-clutching” from Democrats over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“This election is about the economy, not democracy,” Golden insisted. “And when it comes to our economy, our Congress matters far more than who occupies the White House.”
Golden represents Maine’s rural 2nd Congressional District, which Trump carried in both the 2016 and 2020 elections — and opposed efforts by his state’s secretary of state earlier this year to deny the former president access to the 2024 ballot.
He has also not shied away from criticizing Biden or his administration for abandoning successful Trump-era border policies or stifling his state’s flagship lobster business with heavy-handed environmental regulations.
“Some of Congress’ best work in recent years has happened in spite of the president, not because of him,” Golden jabbed at Biden in his op-ed, thanking “responsible Democrats, including myself and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, [who] rejected Biden’s bloated ‘Build Back Better’ bill and instead passed a law that supercharged American energy production, saved Medicare billions of dollars and reduced the deficit.”
“It was Congress that wrote and passed the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act to bring back manufacturing so we can once again be a nation of producers, not just consumers,” he also said, further denying Biden’s involvement in two of his administration’s signature legislative wins.
“We don’t need party insiders in smoke-filled back rooms to save us. We can defend our democracy without them,” Golden concluded.
“This Independence Day, we should reflect on the history and strength of our great democracy, safe in the knowledge that no one man is strong enough to take it away from us.”

Love the NY Post covers!
They are making sure that their dirty deeds will be done. But not cheaply.
As a certified freak, she is well qualified!
Father Time is, indeed, undefeated. Biden didn’t break his leg, or get a knee replacement. His brain power is withering in front of our very eyes.
... Biden will be remembered not as a spry, verbal sparrer with the gift of gab, but as the picture of aging and senility.
Confused, doddering and in decline.
... the Bidens have their priorities. And Dr. Jill can now add another Vogue cover to her wall. It’s her third. Hopefully they give her comfort when she’s watching Trump’s acceptance speech.
Jill Biden’s Vogue interview proves she’s clinging to the reins of power
By Post Editorial Board Published July 1, 2024, 7:29 p.m. ET
If anyone had any doubts as to why First Lady Jill Biden is still pushing hubby Joe to fight on for re-election, the unctious Vogue puff piece released Monday should settle it: Jill adores the spotlight.
The August issue will be her third Vogue cover in just three years. (Michelle Obama only agreed to three in eight years as first lady; the magazine shunned Melania Trump entirely).
And this “news” broke just a day after the Biden clan’s shoot with ultimate-celeb-photographer Annie Lebovitz at Camp David.
Status anxiety much?
Jill, after all, insists on being called “Dr. Jill Biden” because she has an Ed.D (a doctorate in education, not a PhD, let alone an MD); her thesis was on community-college student retention.
And never mind that Vogue long ago lost whatever prestige it had in Jill’s younger days.
Peppered with glossy photographs of FLOTUS in designer clothes, the interview centers on how very much she has long influenced Joe’s decisions — “in so many different areas,” she says. Was the interview supposed to help him win in November?
Or was it just a vehicle for flattery, like this from New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers: “People don’t mention her when they talk about Biden’s key advisers, but she’s his gut check and his closest confidant,” and “she’s fighting so hard for him to get a second term, because there are things they’ve got left on the agenda.”
Hmm: If Rogers is so deep in the First Family’s affairs, shouldn’t she have noticed that the president can’t function reliably after 4 p.m., and reported on it for the “all the news that’s fit to print” paper? Or are Times “journalists” expected to do nothing but brown-nose when a Democrat’s in the White House?
FLOTUS insists that the Bidens “will not let those 90 minutes” of Thursday’s debate “define the four years he’s been president. We will continue to fight.”
Yet what the debate defined was Joe’s current unfitness for office — which Jill won’t admit because she’s not done being first lady.
Staying in the race can’t be good for Joe Biden’s failing health; it puts him on course to end his career in a landslide, humiliated after trying to hang on when he obviously can’t function.
But Jill wants him to “continue to fight” because she has her eye on four Vogue covers in a second term.

Donald Trump’s ‘hush-money’ sentencing delayed until Sept. 18 after SCOTUS immunity ruling
By Ben Kochman Published July 2, 2024, 3:10 p.m. ET
Donald Trump’s sentencing in his Manhattan hush money trial was postponed to September after prosecutors agreed Tuesday that the historic event should be delayed in light of the US Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidents immunity for “official acts.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan approved prosecutors’ request to push back the July 11 sentencing in the felony fudging business records case so that he can rule on Trump’s claim that prosecutors inappropriately used trial evidence from the former president’s time in the White House.
Merchan said he would make a decision on if and how the immunity ruling affects the case by Sept. 6, and that the sentencing would take place Sept. 18 “if such is still necessary.”
Trump, 78, faces up to four years in prison, but could also be handed probation or community service, after a Manhattan jury convicted him May 30 of covering up a $130,000 payout to porn star Stormy Daniels to hide alleged details of a sexual encounter from voters before the 2016 presidential election.
Merchan’s ruling came after prosecutors — writing that they believe Trump’s arguments are “without merit” — nonetheless agreed earlier Tuesday that the sentencing should be delayed while the court rules on the ex-president’s claim that jurors should not have heard trial evidence from Trump’s time in the Oval Office.
The delay means that Trump’s penalty in the case will remain up in the air until after he formally wins the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which starts on July 15.

Unhinged Liberals Respond To SCOTUS Immunity Ruling With Calls For Biden To MURDER Trump, Others
Joe NewbyJuly 1, 2024
As we and others reported on Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that presidents have absolute immunity for their official acts, and “presumptive” immunity for other official acts during their term as president. Naturally, this caused unhinged liberal heads to explode across the country, with many saying that Biden should use that rule to assassinate former President Donald Trump and others.
“According to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in Seal Team 6 to take all of them out. He could send in the military to take out Trump. He has “immunity” for official acts now,” Biden shill Harry Sisson exclaimed on X.

Sen. John Fetterman to Newsmax: Charitable Funding of Hamas Must Be Stopped
By Michael Katz | Tuesday, 02 July 2024 06:30 AM EDT
(Who would have ever guessed it. The only Democrat with any logic and reasoning whatsoever!!!!)
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told Newsmax on Monday that he learned during his recent trip to Israel that most of the funding Iranian-backed Hamas has received was through charitable donations, and not cryptocurrency.
Unlike many of his Democrat colleagues, Fetterman has been an outspoken supporter of Israel since Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack resulted in the massacre of at least 1,200 Israeli civilians, with about another 250 taken hostage.
Fetterman told "The Record With Greta Van Susteren" he was shocked to find out that Hamas was receiving so much money from charitable donations. He added he will share the information with his colleagues on the Senate Banking Committee and said more must be done to prevent such funds ending up in the hands of a terrorist group.
"I thought this was actually crypto, and I said, really, I'm sure a lot of this was financed through crypto," Fetterman said. "And they said, actually no, that was not the primary one. In fact, it was really a minor part of all of that. They said their primary concern was actually coming through charitable kinds of donations, as well. And they had that conversation that all these charitable [organizations are] a pipeline directly to supporting Hamas.
Fetterman said he is concerned about keeping Hamas or any other terror group away from any money that might be flowing to the region when it comes time to rebuild the Gaza Strip following the end of Israel's military operation.
"I can't support any kinds of resources [that] go into that so long as Hamas is allowed to survive," he said. "How can we possibly rebuild Gaza having any kind of an accountability for those resources because that could be a bonanza for Hamas or any other organization to skim monies off that, to replenish their treasury or to rebuild their tunnels or buy more arms, as well.
"That's a major issue that's going to be coming up and having those conversations with the experts there in Israel [has me] convinced that there's something we need to be concerned about. And that's one of the reasons why I came [to Israel], and I'm going to bring that back to my colleagues on the Banking Committee. It's a significant issue that we're all going to have to revisit."
Fetterman said he visited with embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that Netanyahu was firm in stating that Hamas is the Jewish state's ultimate enemy, as well as Iran.
"His goal is to destroy Hamas, and I support that, as well," Fetterman said. "And there's something else that we have to address, too: destroying the tunnel system. And a lot of the terrible things said about how Rafah is going to be a major disaster and all these things are going to happen, and that actually wasn't true.
"Now they've been able to demolish a lot of the tunnel parts, and to isolate Hamas in that region. They understand that Hamas cannot be allowed to be functional. And that's also not about destroying every last member of Hamas. That's not what this means. It just means it's not having the ability to harm or have another kind of attack like Oct. 7. And I fully support that. There will be no rebuilding Israel. There will be no peace. There will be no any kind of security so long as Hamas is able to be functional in any meaningful way."

It's the new sensation. Doin' da Biden!
Donald Trump understands war
By Earick Ward
War...huh…yeah…what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
This song caught my attention as a young man growing up in the seventies. Had a great tune, powerful energy, but most importantly invoked a “feeling” about war in general.
Much ink has been spilt discussing Joe Biden’s horrible debate performance and the media’s universal denunciation, but sadly, some critical policy distinctions have been overlooked. None is more important than the question of war — the Ukraine war in particular.
Trump spelled out his take on war at a CNN Townhall last year:
CNN Spokeshole: “Would you give Ukraine weapons and funding?”
Trump: “If I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day. 24 hours. I’ll meet with Putin. I’ll meet with Zelenskyy. They both have weaknesses and strengths, and within 24 hours that war will be settled.”
CNN Spokeshole: “Do you want Ukraine to win this war?”
Trump: “I don’t think in terms of winning and losing.”
CNN Spokeshole: “Could you say if you want Ukraine or Russia to win the war?”
Trump: “I want everybody to stop dying! They’re dying. Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying.”
In the debate Thursday night, President Trump again stated,
I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelenskyy as President-Elect, before I take office on January 20th. I’ll have that war settled.
Hubris? Boastfulness? Possibly a little, but there is no doubt in my mind that he means exactly what he stated, and there is historical precedent for his proclamation. Recall the Iran hostage crisis and Jimmy Carter’s fecklessness in getting our hostages returned or rescued.
Fifty-three American diplomats and citizens were held hostage in Iran for 444 days, from November 4, 1979 to their release on January 20, 1981. January 20, 1981, you might recall, was the day that Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as the 40th president of the United States.
Peace through strength means two things.
One: Don’t want none, don’t start none. No new wars were started during Donald Trump’s term. Donald Trump exuded power and authority. Putin, Xi, Rocket-man, the Iranian mullahs — they respected Donald Trump. They likely feared Donald Trump. As President Trump states, Russia took Ukrainian land during Barack Obama’s term and Joe Biden’s term. The Russians didn’t take any land during his term. Putin knew better.
Two: Mess with the bull, and you’ll get the horns. The United States has (or had) the greatest fighting force ever assembled. Although we should not seek war, if it’s a just cause, and more particularly in defense of our country and/or our assets, we should execute that war as brutally and effectively as possible.
Donald Trump understands war. He understands our adversaries. And, sadly, he understands the influence that our military-industrial complex has in influencing our involvement in foreign entanglements.
Donald Trump asks: war, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

Biden Getting Nervous As Hillary Clinton Enters Emergency Family Meeting
CAMP DAVID — President Biden began feeling rather nervous this morning when Hillary Clinton arrived for what was supposed to be an emergency family meeting about his campaign.
"This is bad, Joe," Biden whispered to himself. "I may be in some real trouble here."
According to high-level sources, the Biden team had called a family meeting after early efforts failed to quell the panic after Biden's disastrous debate. About fifteen minutes in, Clinton unexpectedly walked into the meeting without saying a word, put on latex gloves, and sat in the corner to watch the proceedings. "So, uh, as I was saying, we can ride this news cycle out," said Biden, anxiously eyeing Clinton. "Calm donors down, tell the media to shape up... there's no need to pull the plug or poison someone or hang them in a jail cell from a bedsheet or anything."
Clinton stated she had simply come to Camp David for a little bit of sight-seeing and to help the campaign to hit the reset button. "Oh, I'm just here watching the birds, waiting to see which kind of reset they wish to do," said Clinton. "Isn't politics exciting?"
At publishing time, President Biden had decided to start having his dog try out his morning oatmeal, just in case.

‘Trump Will Imprison His Political Opponents!’ Says Guy Imprisoning His Political Opponents
RALEIGH, NC — At a rally following a disastrous debate performance, a guy who has spent the last few years imprisoning his political opponents warned the crowd that if Donald Trump is elected, he will imprison his political opponents.
The frightening accusation that Trump will use the power of the federal government to persecute his enemies seemed to have a significant impact coming from the man who has gained extensive experience in using the power of the federal government to persecute his most prominent enemies.
"This is serious business, folks," Biden said to his assembled supporters. "The idea… that someone would use the power of… the power… their office… to seek revenge on their political opponents goes against everything… goes against all of the… goes… goes against… is an attempt to destroy democracy. That is why I have spent the last three years deploying the Justice Department against Donald Trump to put him in prison. Larbinffermonder."
Political analysts praised Biden's powerful warning as a sign that he's still capable of serving in the highest office in the land. "We all thought he was done after that terrible debate," said one insider. "To see him come out at that campaign rally and accuse Trump of plotting to do exactly what Biden's been doing was a political masterstroke. He may not be able to string together a coherent sentence, but he's still incredibly presidential."
At publishing time, the Biden campaign issued a statement ordering all voters to re-elect Biden to save the country or face persecution and imprisonment if they refused.

Dems Stick With Biden As It Would Be A Real Pain To Reprint These Ballots They Already Filled Out
U.S. — Despite a significant majority of the nation now believing President Biden mentally unfit for office, the Democratic Party has decided to stay with Biden as its nominee as it would be a huge pain to reprint the tens of thousands of ballots they already filled out.
"On one hand, the nation now knows Biden is incapable of thinking and is a clear and present danger to himself and the country," said DNC chair Jaime Harrison. "On the other hand, it would be SUCH a pain to have to reprint all those ballots when we already filled them all out. It's so tedious! Aw, screw it... let's just stick with Biden."
The Democratic Party considered replacing Biden after the Presidential debate revealed his inability to walk or speak, but the amount of ballots already prepared for harvesting dissuaded them. "Obviously, Biden can't operate a frialator, much less run a country," said White House chief of staff Jeff Zeints. "To have him continue to be the corpse-like mouthpiece of the Party is nothing short of elder abuse, and everyone knows it. Still, do you know how long it takes to fill out two hundred thousand ballots? Ugh, it is so much work! Forget it."
At publishing time, annoyed Democrats had begun preparing another hundred thousand ballots for harvesting after seeing how bad the post-debate poll numbers looked.

Cause the republicans are cowards, talk a big game, and do nothing,,
15 Secretaries Blow Off Congressional Subpoenas While Subpoena Refusal Lands Trump Adviser In Jail
he New York Times headline seemed to gloat: “Stephen Bannon Reports to Prison After One Final Podcast Episode.”
“The show will be his last for four months, but the longtime adviser to Donald J. Trump has no intention of surrendering his influence,” the newspaper of record for the Democratic Party and the American left declared in its online subhead on Monday.
And so the corporate media stories went, reporting on Bannon’s failed attempt to secure an 11th-hour reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court. Bannon surrendered to federal authorities at a Connecticut federal prison to begin serving his time on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena.
Loathed by the left and ruling-class Republicans, the conservative firebrand became the latest casualty of a two-tiered system of justice in America.
As Bannon begins his term, 15 cabinet officials in the Biden administration continue to defy congressional subpoenas, and Merrick Garland, the attorney general of the United States, continues to insist he’s above Congress.
On June 13, U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, issued subpoenas to 15 administration cabinet members seeking documents related to Biden’s constitutionally suspect executive order commanding federal agencies to assist in voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns. The agency chiefs failed to comply by Steil’s deadline of June 26.
“Not a single agency has responded with their strategic plan or with any details about the implementation of the EO,” the Wisconsin Republican said in a statement to The Federalist. “Additionally, we know that as many as 40 outside groups assisted and advised the agencies on implementation – we have received nothing on the role these groups played in the design of the strategic plans.”
Seems like contempt of Congress. Will the cabinet secretaries be bunking with Bannon anytime soon? Don’t count on it.
What about Garland?
On Monday, House Republicans sued Garland, who has refused to turn over the audio recordings of a “confused” President Joe Biden’s interview with Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur about the president’s mishandling of classified documents. Republicans want a federal court to compel Garland to follow their subpoena.
The attorney general effectively told Republicans to go pound sand, citing executive privilege in refusing to release the audio — audio that could be particularly damaging to Biden after his disastrous debate performance last week.
“The congressional inquiry began with the release of Hur’s report in February, which found evidence that Biden, a Democrat, willfully retained and shared highly classified information when he was a private citizen. Yet the special counsel concluded that criminal charges were not warranted,” the Associated Press reported. What the story failed to note is that the special prosecutor deemed charges unwarranted because the octogenarian president “would likely present himself to the jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Hur told the House Judiciary Committee in March that the White House pushed him to change portions of his report thought to be particularly damaging to the false narrative that Biden’s mental acuity remained sharp.
Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been in jail since March for likewise ignoring a congressional subpoena. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear either man’s emergency appeal.
Before beginning his sentence, Bannon told reporters that he is a “political prisoner.”
Now, who will hold Garland and his colleagues in the Biden cabinet accountable for their contemptible conduct?

Good morning Sunshine! They look to be quite the couple. 95th Anniversary, Wow!
Have a good day.
Thanks cap. He gets a bit carried away on the economic collapse predictions, but hits a lot of the nails right on the head.
Plus his vocabulary makes for a fun read.
Kunstler has a knack for telling it like it is, thanks for keeping it going Bull.
Hey, hap. You two are adorable and still having fun I see.
Thanks for sharing your 94th Anniversary picture.
Here's to your 95th. Enjoy every day.
Blessings to you both!
Shows you how useless our MSM is, they learned nothing, the Supreme Court ruling not only helped Trump, but it
helped Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden and all future Presidents, why can't they tell the truth?

CLUSTERFUCK NATION – BLOGJuly 1, 2024
Surprise, Surprise!
“Joe Biden is the walking embodiment of the exhausted American Establishment. More and more people have simply lost their faith in our Ruling Class. You could scarcely have a more potent symbol of its impotence.” — Rod Dreher
Just before the weekend, a political prairie fire raced across a nation buffaloed, blind-sided, and buried deeply in bullshit, and the little critters who inhabit the landscape are still running around with their fur smoldering. What a surprise that “Joe Biden,” the mentally-disabled pretend-president, fell apart in the debate spotlight for all to see, like Captain Queeg in his fateful witness chair, or William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes trial (1925), or the Wizard of Oz when little Toto drew the curtain back — a brutal revelation of stark truth about how things actually are.
Since his hiding-in-the-basement campaign in 2020 “Joe Biden’s” Party of Chaos has pretended that he is fit and alert for the job and now all of sudden they pretend to be shocked to see how far gone in the head he really is. The bullshit shovelers of the mainstream news media were especially rocked, not by the truth of the situation per se, but at being unmasked as the contemptible, confabulating tools that they’ve become. The New York Times wheeled around on a dime from their servile lionizing of the presidential hologram they helped create to its editorial board abjectly yelling for him to drop out and get gone. They were joined instantly by a long list of other opinion-shapers, campaign donors, political celebs, and Beltway players.
Right after the debate, First lady Dr. Jill led a cheerleading session before a roomful of partisans that went beyond cringeworthy into uncharted territory of mortification. (“You were great, Joe! You answered all the questions!”). By the time the entourage moved to a pre-planned event at a nearby Atlanta Waffle House, “JB” had gone full-on zombie. If all that was intended to be reassuring, the effect was the opposite. Someone handed the blank-faced old grifter a milkshake and they beat it out of there.
Dr. Jill roaring in support of President “Joe Biden.”
The Bidens flew off to the Hamptons Saturday to milk the showbiz cows and hedge-funders for a campaign that might not still exist. “Everyone paid in advance. . .so it could be an opportunity to encourage him to drop out,” an invited guest told a New York Post reporter. “I wanted to go and see the train wreck,” another donor said. “I’d rather choose someone from a phone book than have Biden.” That was generally the tone among the woke-gay-communist echelons all over the land — surprisingly vehement, considering that just forty-eight hours before they were all in on re-election. Some could probably see their lucrative hustles whirling around the drain, and others might fret about just how far and wide prosecutions under a Trump Attorney General might loom.
“JB” and his family circle attempted to regroup over the weekend at Camp David where first son, Hunter (“the smartest man I know,” the president often says), led the buoying-up session, perhaps mindful of the many bank accounts set up by his lawyers in the name of Biden family members (including little grandchildren) for receipt of influence-peddling revenue gathered sedulously from entities abroad during “Joe Biden’s” post-veep high-earning years. The family emerged from that meet-up triumphantly, ready to forget the one bad evening and jump back into the election game.
Next, the biggest Dem dawgs — Obama, Schumer, Pelosi — stepped up with fulsome support for “Joe Biden” continuing to steer the party’s war canoe straight over Niagara Falls on November 5th. What possesses them? Misguided love for the monster they created? Fear of being called out as traitorous liars? Desperation to preserve the gigantic racketeering operation of the party they lead, with consideration for their big cuts of the action? Or are they just determined to complete the job of wrecking our country?
And where was She-Whose-Turn-It-Is, HRC, the only possible replacement candidate with name-recognition and no ruined state hanging over her as is the case with Newsom, Pritzker, and Whitmer (California, Illinois, Michigan)? Mrs. Clinton has so far stayed out of it, laying low, probably thinking that the party poohbahs will eventually have to come around to seeing she’s the obvious viable alternative. Since the Clinton Foundation bought and paid for the DNC some time ago, she might be able to get the nominating machinery lined up in her direction. There are myriad problems, for sure, with many state election laws that discourage switching-out a nominee who has already captured a winning share of party convention delegates — but Norm Eisen, Marc Elias, and the Lawfare gang are already tasked to that set of problems now that their work is done cobbling together all those janky court cases to hamstring Mr. Trump.
We enter high summer with countless consequential things afoot. A grand new momentum is expressing itself throughout Western Civ against the Globalist insanity. Sunday, Marine LePen’s National Rally (RN) thrashed President Macron’s Renaissance Party, a shock equal to the “Joe Biden” debate fiasco here. British elections follow Thursday July 4, with PM Rishi Sunak sucking wind and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party ascending rapidly. Sunday July 7 France’s runoff election happens. A widened war threatens the Middle East as Iran and Turkey line up with Hezbollah in Lebanon against Israel. Ukraine cries for a negotiated settlement with no help from our own State Department. ISIS terrorists (among many other dangerous cadres) circulate on-the-loose around the USA, ready and able to perp atrocities.
Still hanging over the “Joe Biden” crisis — and it is a crisis — is the question as to how somebody no longer capable of leading a party in an election can also be capable of leading the executive branch of the USA as Commander-in-Chief. That quandary has been shoved aside for the moment but it still lurks ominously in the background.

Oh my, that one is self explanatory.
