Massachusetts Mayor Scott Galvin Sounds Alarm on Woburn Migrant Crisis | National Review

• The Democratic mayor of a small Massachusetts city is urging state lawmakers to reform a 40-year-old “right-to-shelter” law that is putting immense strain on the area as thousands of migrant families arrive.

"...Under the 1983 right-to-shelter law, Massachusetts officials are legally required to offer housing to any homeless families seeking shelter in the state. 

The law now covers a rising influx of migrant families, although individuals are not covered under its provisions.
Galvin told the New York Times the law was “passed at a different time, and was not meant to cover what we’re seeing now.”...

"...across the entire country..."

Tucker Carlson goes to Argentina — and shows us what it's like to live in a country where the government can't stop printing money - By Monica Showalter
"Argentina is a developed country, with an educated population, a huge middle class, and tremendous natural resources....
The problem is inflation — 165% inflation as of July, according to Steve Hanke's inflation index, which is the most accurate reading.
Tucker Carlson went down to Buenos Aires to find out exactly what that is like, exploring in a mere ten minutes on Twitter just how normal people have to live with it on an extended basis, all because its socialist government can't stop printing money.
It's a doozy. See it here...

How the Federal Budget Deficit Doubled in a Single Year

How the Federal Budget Deficit Doubled in a Single Year

• It's not the first time that has happened, but there are key differences about what happened this year.

"...This year will likely be added to that list. The Congressional Budget Office last week projected that the federal government will post a deficit of $2 trillion when the current fiscal year ends on September 30...

• The drivers of this year's rising deficit are four-fold, and three of them are the result of decades of poor policymaking: rising interest costs on the $33 trillion national debt, higher Social Security outlays, and more Medicare spending. As Axios points out, those three categories added more than $390 billion to the deficit relative to last year—a tremendous jump in a single year.
• The fourth category is falling federal income tax revenue, which is responsible for about $171 billion of the added deficit this year versus last...

Dishonest WaPo Reporter Caught Completely Off Guard During Recorded Call With Dave Portnoy | The Daily Caller

Dishonest WaPo Reporter Caught Completely Off Guard During Recorded Call With Dave Portnoy | The Daily Caller
"When Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy discovered the Washington Post’s Emily Heil had contacted his advertisers and labeled him as a person with a “history of misogynistic comments,” he took matters into his own hands and called her.
Portnoy posted the 11-minute confrontation in its entirety on Twitter. 

Heil initially lies, saying she didn’t characterize Portnoy as a misogynistic racist, before being confronted with her own words.

• “We have this Pizza-fest happening on Saturday, and you’re reaching out to our advertisers,” Portnoy said. “You’re basically sending an e-mail that says, to the effect, ‘Dave’s a misogynic racist. Do you want to defend yourselves advertising at this event?’ Right?” he asked Heil...

Commentary: God save us from the presidency! - TheBlaze: 

Every four years, we choose the person who's allegedly going to run the country, and then he sets out to put the entire nation on the path of his personal will. We're now living through “Bidenomics,” the current president says, because the person occupying the White House has put the finances of 330 million people on a course he's declared into being. The president shapes energy markets with his pen, signing oil, coal, and natural gas into decline or into ascendance through executive orders. Prices at the grocery store rise and fall as a supine Congress puts the president's budget priorities into action: let's do a few trillion more, man!

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty: Why Totalitarianism Doesn’t Require Gulags or Concentration Camps

"...Americans tend to think of themselves as anti-authoritarian and willing to be independent-minded and to challenge consensus. 

• But even rugged American individualists still want a news source or source of information that they can trust. 
• They still want to believe that public officials who have responsibility for this or that aspect of our lives more or less know what they're doing and are doing a decent job. 

Otherwise, what's the alternative to that? 

• The alternative to that is pretty terrifying—you can't trust anyone, and nobody knows what the heck is going on....

Footage shows a Las Vegas teen in a stolen car laughing manically while fatally running over a retired police chief. Prosecutors intend to try suspect as an adult. - TheBlaze: 

A 64-year-old retired police chief was riding his bike near his northwest Las Vegas home when the driver of a stolen 2016 Hyundai Elantra targeted him and fatally ran him over. Footage taken by the perpetrators later revealed this bloody incident was no accident. Two thugs inside the stolen car filmed the incident as well as a previous hit-and-run, documenting how they cackled manically and expressed their intention to "hit his a**" ahead of mowing down Andreas Probst, whose daughter suggested he had been everyone's dad, "like being next to a ray of sunshine."

In South Carolina, a classroom anti-discrimination law is working - American Thinker

In South Carolina, a classroom anti-discrimination law is working - American Thinker - By Andrea Widburg 

"In response to the racism inherent in Critical Race Theory (“CRT”)—i.e., that blacks are victims and whites are evil—18 states have passed laws prohibiting schools from engaging in race-based teaching. 

South Carolina was one of those states and, according to a laugh-out-loud funny article in the Washington Post, the law is working. Incidentally, the article isn’t intended to be funny. It is, instead, intended to be a heartrending human interest story about a martyred leftist female teacher who violated the law and got caught.

In its general appropriations bill for 2021-2022, the South Carolina legislature, for the first time, inserted a specific clause aimed at blocking leftist-style racism and sexism in education...

A-10 Pilot's Compelling Case For Replacing Warthogs With Super Hornets

A-10 Pilot's Compelling Case For Replacing Warthogs With Super Hornets - PATRICK “BURT” BROWN - THE WAR ZONE

• An A-10 Weapons Instructor lays out how buying (NAVY!) F/A-18E/Fs fits the Air Force’s imperatives and keeps the A-10’s unique braintrust intact.

"The U.S. Air Force wants to retire the A-10 Warthog, an aircraft I have flown for years around the globe, by the end of the decade. 

While many may think all of us in the A-10 community want to hold onto our beloved mount for dear life, that isn’t necessarily the case. 

What many of us do want is a suitable replacement, of which there is none currently planned. 

This new aircraft should be relatively economical while also bringing additional capabilities to the fight, especially one in the Pacific against China. 

That aircraft should be the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet for a slew of reasons, some of which may be surprising...

Rep. Nancy Mace schools ABC anchor for doing Biden's bidding on impeachment inquiry: 'The facts are everywhere' - TheBlaze: 

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) shut down ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday for claiming there is "no evidence" to support an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
