I do not like what I've been seeing. It's essentially martial law, without people so much as batting an eye.

It truly is terrible. I will never look at my community the same way again after this that's for sure.

Remember this anti american piece of shit?

1. Low income communities don't receive federal assistance?

2. Social Security still exists as far as I know. It is even greatly expanded with SSI.

3. We literally have millions of illegals (refugees). How many more would you like?

4. How much should the minimum wage be? $15, $25, $50 an hour? Why not make it $500 an hour?

5. We still have unemployment benefits. Literally millions have signed up this week. How much more free money do we need to give to non working people?

6. The unions have killed themselves with their ridiculous demands forcing companies to choose to hire a foreign workforce. On a philosophic or ideological note why should an employer be forced to deal with a union anyway? If I hire people for a job and they agree to the salary and benefits why should they be allowed to force me to pay them more? I would fire all of their asses and either hire a new workforce or shut the whole company down altogether before I would be held hostage by ungrateful employees. Let them invest their own money in building a profitable company.

7. Women get equal pay if they do the same jobs as men for the same amount of time. This myth of unequal pay was debunked a long time ago. If corporations could really pay 70% less for women why would they ever hire men?

Whenever I see people fighting to ensure illegal aliens can flood our borders and stay once they make it across the border, I think of one word: anti-american. Or is that two words?

Look at the response to Trump dropping the citizenship question from the census: "we won." Won what? Making it easier for illegal aliens to be counted in the census to try and effect how many representatives of Congress a state may get? Anti-American.

DOJ says citizenship question being dropped from 2020 Census: NY attorney general's office
By Gregg Re | Fox News

It's 'common sense' for the government to know whether or not residents are citizens, says Mercedes Schlapp, White House director of strategic communications.

The New York attorney general’s office said Tuesday the Justice Department has decided to print the 2020 Census without the citizenship question sought by the Trump administration, ending a contentious legal dispute over an issue that could soon affect the makeup of Congress and the Electoral College.

The Supreme Court ruled last week that the question couldn't be added for now, as civil rights groups argued that the Trump administration's reasons for including the question were merely pretextual efforts to discourage illegal immigrants from responding to the Census. Population counts from the Census are used to apportion House seats among the 50 states.

In a tweet on Monday, Daniel Jacobson, who worked in the White House Counsel’s Office under President Obama, said a trial attorney at the Justice Department told him that "the printer has been instructed to begin the printing process" without the citizenship question.

"We won," Jacobson wrote.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., issued a less-than-celebratory statement calling for answers, even as he praised the decision to scrap the citizenship question.

"I am encouraged that Administration officials dropped President Trump’s unconstitutional plan to postpone the Census just because he lost the Supreme Court case," Cummings said. "The Trump Administration put our country through more than a year of wasted time and squandered resources—all in the service of an illegal attempt to add a discriminatory question based on a pretext. Now they need to direct all their attention to the nuts and bolts of putting on the Census next year. The Census Bureau has a responsibility under the Constitution to get an accurate count."

Cummings continued: "The Attorney General and the Secretary of Commerce must now turn over all of the documents our Committee has subpoenaed on a bipartisan basis."

The White House didn't immediately comment on the decision. Spokespeople for the U.S. Census Bureau have not responded to emails or phone calls seeking comment.

President Trump had tweeted that he had asked lawyers if the count can be delayed until the Supreme Court can reevaluate the matter, based on additional evidence supporting the administration's justifications for adding the citizenship question.

The Supreme Court, in its ruling last week, did not prohibit a citizenship question out of hand but dismissed the administration's provided rationale. The court suggested it would be open to different arguments from the White House.

However, experts responded that any delay could gum up the U.S. Census Bureau's finely calibrated timetable for the 10-year count. Monday was the deadline to start printing the 600 million documents that will be mailed to 130 million households for next April's census count.

For months, the Trump administration had argued that the courts needed to decide quickly whether the citizenship question could be added to the 2020 census because of the looming deadline.

"I think it's very important to find out if somebody is a citizen as opposed to an illegal," Trump told reporters Monday. "There's a big difference to me between being a citizen of the United States and being an illegal."

Former President Barack Obama's administration didn't ask the citizenship question in the 2010 census. The citizenship question was last asked on the census in 1950, but beginning in 1970, a citizenship question was asked in a long-form questionnaire sent to a relatively small number of households, alongside the main census. In 2010, there was no long-form questionnaire.

"There is no credible argument to be made that asking about citizenship subverts the Constitution and federal law," Chapman University law professor and constitutional law expert John Eastman told Fox News.

From a logistical standpoint, any delay "would be a nightmare," said John Thompson, who served as Census Bureau director during Obama's second term.

The bureau already has been in the process of signing almost 250 office leases across the U.S. and has hired 1,500 specialists partnering with community organizations to encourage people to participate in the census. More than 170,000 recruits already have filled out applications for the almost half-million positions being created for the count. The bureau has helped set up more than 1,500 committees nationwide working to get everyone to respond.

Furthermore, Congress would have to change the law for the count to be delayed because Title 13 of the U.S. Code mandates that it take place on April 1, 2020, Thompson said.

"I don't think there's any ambiguity, but I'm not a lawyer," Thompson said.

Both the census and the way individual congressional districts are crafted can change the balance of power on Capitol Hill; Shannon Bream, Fox News chief legal correspondent and anchor of 'Fox News @ Night,' reports.

Fewer people are expected to fill out the questionnaires using paper than in years past because the bureau for the first time is relying on most respondents to use the Internet to answer questions. Still, printed postcards and letters are to be sent out next March reminding residents it's time to answer the questionnaire, and those who don't respond digitally are expected to be mailed paper questionnaires.

As recently as last week, the Trump administration's solicitor general wrote in court papers that the Census Bureau needed to finalize the questions by June. Any changes to the paper questionnaire after June would impair the bureau's ability to conduct the count in a timely manner, wrote the solicitor general, Noel Francisco.

More than two dozen Democrats in the U.S. Senate last week sent a letter urging Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to drop any further pursuit of the citizenship question because it would delay the bureau's ability to conduct the count.

"The 2020 Census is less than half a year away, and any unnecessary delay in operations would impact the ability of the Census Bureau to count every person in our country," the letter read.

This past May, Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines introduced legislation that would require the census to include a citizenship question.

"This is America," Daines told Fox News at the time. "We are a sovereign nation. It's absurd that we don't know how many citizens and non-citizens are living in this country. That's why I'm introducing this bill to require a citizenship question on the census - and ensure that states harboring millions of illegal immigrants are not rewarded with additional taxpayer dollars."

Sanctuary State Colorado to Give Professional Licenses to Illegal Aliens
JOHN BINDER
2 Jun 2021

The sanctuary state of Colorado will begin allowing illegal aliens to obtain professional licenses, funneling them into white-collar American jobs.

This week, Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed into law a plan that will give out professional licenses for jobs in education and health care, among other industries, to illegal aliens. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us had lobbied state lawmakers to pass the legislation.

Now, Colorado’s state agencies will not require an applicant to certify their legal status in the U.S. to secure a professional license.

“The bill eliminates the requirement that the department of education … verify the lawful presence of each applicant before issuing or renewing a license,” the law reads:

The bill also specifies that lawful presence is not required of any applicant for any state or local license, certificate, or registration. The bill affirmatively states that the bill is a state law within the meaning of the federal law that gives states authority to provide for eligibility for state and local public benefits to persons who are unlawfully residing in the United States. [Emphasis added]

FWD.us Colorado State Immigration Director Marissa Molina praised the legislature’s passage and Polis’ signing, claiming it will help fill “worker shortages” even as the state’s unemployment rate is 6.4 percent as of April — above the national unemployment rate, which is 6.1 percent.

“As our state continues to face worker shortages, particularly in education and health care, we have opened the door for a new generation of nurses, teachers, and other essential workers to fill labor gaps needed to support our continued health response and long-term economic recovery,” Molina said in a statement.

New Jersey passed similar legislation last year, and illegal aliens in the state are now applying for and receiving professional licenses.

Today, there are anywhere between 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., costing Americans about $134 billion annually, with about eight million holding American jobs. Nearly 200,000 illegal aliens reside in Colorado.

This amazing moment happened on MSNBC last night…
MAR. 6, 2020 BY THE RIGHT SCOOP

Last night on MSNBC something incredible happened. Just watch the clip:

If you can’t watch it, here’s a transcript:

NY TIMES MARA GAY: Somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money [Bloomberg] spent he could’ve given every American a million dollars.

BRIAN WILLIAMS: I’ve got it, let’s put it up on the screen. When I read it tonight on social media it kind of all became clear. “Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The US population is 327 million.” Don’t tell us if you’re ahead of us on the math. “He could have given each American $1 million and still have lunch money left over.”

That’s an incredible way of putting it.

NY TIMES MARA GAY: It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true, it’s disturbing. It does suggest what we’re talking about here, that there’s too much money in politics…

They didn’t even question the math, not even for a moment. I honestly don’t know how this got past a producer on MSNBC. Are they all idiots? Somebody had to prep it to put it on the screen! It would take 327 TRILLION spent in order to give every American $1 million dollars. Bloomberg spending 500 million would only give every American just over a buck and a half. $1.53 dollars to be exact.

The girl who actually wrote the tweet has since completely locked her account and her website. She wrote in the bio “I know, I’m bad at math.” Ya think?

Macy Gray on the American flag: 'I shouldn't have to salute it, I shouldn't have to honor it'

Posted on 6/28/2021, 10:22:11 AM by MarvinStinson

Macy Gray isn't backing down from her controversial stance that the American flag should be redesigned.

The 53-year-old Grammy-winning singer elicited mixed reactions over a Juneteenth op-ed she wrote for MarketWatch that quickly went viral. In the piece, Gray compared the U.S. flag to the Confederate flag, calling it "tattered, dated, divisive and incorrect." She doubled down on her assertion on Monday.

"Why do we have to celebrate a flag that now represents divisiveness and hate?" she declared.

Gray felt the need for change more than ever on Jan. 6, when she watched rioters storm the U.S. Capitol, many of whom carried American flags.

"The people there held it up as their symbol as 'this is what America represents,'" Gray continued. "'We're threatening to hang the vice president and our gang sign is the flag.'"

Gray said she "shouldn't have to salute" the current flag.

"I shouldn't have to honor it, I shouldn't have to pledge to it," she explained. "All I'm saying is let's redesign the flag for the rest of us who aren't a part of that tribe."

"The Smithsonian documents that the 'white' stripes represent purity and innocence. America is great. It is beautiful. Pure, it ain’t. It is broken and in pieces," she stated.

The latest change in the American flag was more than 60 years ago, when the new states Alaska and Hawaii were given stars.

"Sixty-two years later, in 2021, we have changed and it’s time for a reset, a transformation. One that represents all states and all of us," Gray concluded.
