At the same time, expect the American left to go full TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) into a loving embrace with the cartels.
The Democrats and the libs have never met a corrupt foreign threat to the U.S. they didn’t like. -Tim O'Brien

The population is NOT exploding in the third world. - Sarah Hoyt
- It’s crashing everywhere.
It’s just that the third world lies more impunely and brazenly.
I’m sorry it takes a very smart person to fall for the stupid idea that the third world countries conduct reliable censuses.
Or even attempt them, for that matter.
Ridiculous.
- They just pretend to larger population because they get more “aid” money.

Jonathan Turley explains why feds can dig deep into Somali scammer scandal * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation
Jonathan Turley explains why feds can dig deep into Somali scammer scandal * WorldNetDaily * by Harold Hutchison, Daily Caller News Foundation:
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Tuesday the scale of the reported welfare fraud in Minnesota could only occur with interstate commerce, which gives the federal government jurisdiction.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the agency already surged additional resources in a Sunday post on X, saying that the deployment occurred before a 42-minute video of independent journalist Nick Shirley visiting various Somali-run day care centers suspected of defrauding the state of millions of dollars went viral. Turley dismissed claims by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota that he lacked authority to pursue the fraud.
Must read!--They declare "success" by money "raised". Not by delivering the promised aid!-----The Humanitarian-Industrial Complex - by Michael Smith
How Western aid became an industry first and a moral mission second - Michael Smith
- ProPublica (a hard left “news” outlet) marked Christmas Day with a story designed to shock the conscience: the claim that the elimination of USAID funding has driven pregnant African women to eat clay and charcoal and left thousands without AIDS medication or contraception.
- Democratic politicians now insist that hundreds of thousands of children may die because decades-old foreign-aid programs are losing U.S. taxpayer support...
Critics abroad have rushed to condemn the United States for turning off the spigot.
- Yet few acknowledge that many NGOs skim off vast sums—sometimes millions in executive salaries—before a dime is converted into medicine or food.
- The patronage culture surrounding federal grants has become so routine that when watchdogs began exposing specific abuses, Americans were struck not by the fact that skimming existed, but by the sheer scale of it...
Anyone who has worked internationally knows that “facilitation” arrangements often grease the skids. That is not news.
- But what has startled many Americans is discovering that enormous sums never leave U.S. soil at all. Investigations have revealed cases in which 75 to 90 percent of taxpayer funding vanished into “administrative costs,” with only pennies per dollar reaching the ground—if any did...
Humiliating: CNN's New Years Eve Show Descends Into Debauchery Yet Again
Humiliating: CNN's New Years Eve Show Descends Into Debauchery Yet Again:
As we head into 2026, what is the direction of this network?
If CNN is looking to redeem itself anytime soon after almost a decade of functioning as the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, it isn’t doing a great job by complimenting that with drunken debauchery and general nonsense.
You can’t take the network seriously for its political takes, and they don’t take themselves seriously otherwise.
NYC poised to force landlords to sell private property to non-profits to ensure 'affordable housing'
“Today marks the beginning of a new social housing era in New York City… - Thomas StevensonThe New York City Council ...(COPA) that will force private building owners to offer up their property to nonprofits and government entities before they make any private sale, effectively causing massive delays in property sales and other regulatory hurdles in the Big Apple’s housing industry...
“Today marks the beginning of a new social housing era in New York City… COPA levels the playing field and makes it possible to preserve and create thousands of permanently affordable homes across our city.”The act dictates that landlords must
- first tip off the government entities and nonprofits that qualify, and “may not take any action that will result in the sale of such covered property to a person other than” those entities.
- Then the owner must sit on that property for 25 days as it is up for sale to the nonprofits, which can submit a statement of interest.
- If the statement of interest is submitted to the property owner, the nonprofit entity then has 80 days to submit a first offer.
- Only after rejecting any offer from the nonprofit during those 80 days would the owner then be able to list the property for public sale.
- That, however, is not the end of the red tape...
