Buffalo City Hall Raises Somalia Flag After Canceling Fireworks Show - Louder With Crowder

Buffalo City Hall Raises Somalia Flag After Canceling Fireworks Show - Louder With Crowder: 

Buffalo City Hall raised a Somalia flag on Wednesday. It just so happens that it was also the same day the country marked its 66th Independence Day. Ironically, though, while the city decided to celebrate the independence of a third-world country, it has decided that American independence is not worthy of acknowledgment, despite it being the 250th anniversary. This is why they canceled its Fourth of July fireworks celebrations.

She didn't mention China or India. Wonder why?-----Paris official blames Americans and their air conditioning for Europe heat wave that has killed 1,300 people

After US tourists mocked France over the lack of air conditioning across the country amid 104-degree temperatures, Audrey Pulvar, deputy mayor of Paris for international relations, claimed the situation was partly America’s fault. - Ronny Reyes

“Dear American journalists and social media ‘influencers’: for days, some of you have been criticizing and making fun of Paris because the city does not have A/C in every room … OMG, this is so rich!” Pulvar wrote on social media.
“As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. Your cities, which are 90 percent air conditioned, are not unrelated to this,” she added.
“So please, enough with the lecture. Just start doing your part,” the post concluded.

France has long been resistant to air conditioning, with only 25% of households in the country equipped with such cooling units.
The reticence to install AC has been attributed to concerns over the

The Karmelo Anthony Trial Shows You the 3 Real Reasons Black Americans are Lagging in America

...you wouldn’t have thought that it would be a particularly controversial case. Post-trial, where Anthony got 35 years in jail, we have an even fuller picture of what happened - John Hawkins
...Anthony was somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be, he was asked many times to leave, and instead of doing so, he tried to start a fistfight, and then, when he finally got a reaction, he immediately responded with lethal force.

• It all seems very clear-cut, right? 

Yet, what have we seen in this case?

• Karmelo Anthony’s family raised 630k in a GiveSendGo ...
• During the trial, Anthony’s supporters showed up regularly, in person and online, to spew hatred at white people and claim Anthony should get a free pass because of racism. 
• His own grandmother even got in on the act after the trial:

Read all, excellent analysis/advice!-----The Truth About America's Housing Crisis - Illinois Review

It’s difficult to get an exact number because of tens of millions of illegal aliens, but it’s a decent guess; twice as many as we had just 70 years ago. - John F. Di Leo

Has available housing kept up with this huge increase?
If not – and it certainly hasn’t – then there’s the first and primary cause of housing unaffordability.

• When demand goes up and supply can’t meet it, the price climbs. 
• This is the case, no matter what the commodity is.

Since we don’t have a spike in native population growth (people are reproducing at lower rates than ever), virtually all this increase is caused by immigration, both legal and illegal.

• If you want to solve the problem, the answer is simple: stop immigration, deport the illegals who are already here, and give the country a chance to catch up before you start allowing immigration again...

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito warns mail-in-ballot ruling leaves giant opening for voter fraud * WorldNetDaily * by Ireland Owens, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

"Diverse sources have recognized that mail-in ballots increase the potential for fraud," Alito added. "In 2005, a committee chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker found that absentee voting was 'the largest source of potential voter fraud' in American elections."

If You Want To See How Much America Has Changed In 250 Years, Just Look At What Is Going On In Our Streets

In early America, more than 95 percent of the population was made up of Bible-believing Christians. - Michael Snyder

If we could go back to 1776, we would be absolutely shocked by how different day to day life was back then. 

Early Americans didn’t have everything handed to them, and so they had to work extremely hard. 

But even though conditions were often very rough, the population was also very civilized...

• One of the primary reasons why our culture has shifted so dramatically is because we have embraced completely different values.

In early America, more than 95 percent of the population was made up of Bible-believing Christians.

• But today we have gone down a much different road.

New York City’s world famous pride parade was on Sunday. 

It was being projected that approximately 2 million people would come out and watch the parade in person…
That is an absolutely massive crowd...

So right. In so many ways!

 

The party of 300,000 abandoned and abused children - American Thinker

The Biden-Harris administration created a nightmare, and the reckoning is only just coming. - Monty L. Donohew

In Rotherham, England, between 1997 and 2013, at least 1,400 children, many as young as 11, were systematically groomed, raped, trafficked, beaten, and passed around by networks of men, predominantly of Pakistani heritage. 

•  Local authorities, police, and social services knew. 
•  They documented the horrors: girls doused in gasoline, threatened with guns, gang-raped as a routine “lifestyle choice.” 
•  Yet they did nothing meaningful. 

 The reason, laid bare in the Jay Report and subsequent inquiries, was fear of being labeled racist...
The Biden-Harris administration created an eerily similar nightmare, only on a vastly larger scale...

The Swamp's Got Another Bright Idea, and It Could End Up Hosing Every American Who Drives

The Swamp's Got Another Bright Idea, and It Could End Up Hosing Every American Who Drives: 

Americans already pay plenty to own a car. They pay sales taxes when they buy one. They pay gas taxes every time they fill up. They pay tolls, insurance premiums, registration fees, inspection fees, and in many states, yearly property taxes simply for the privilege of owning a vehicle.

Now Congress wants to add another bill to the pile: a new federal annual vehicle registration fee.

Some in Congress are calling it an “EV fee” aimed at electric and hybrid vehicles. Americans should not assume it will stop there.
