Illegal immigrants who entered US since Biden took office to cost taxpayers $20+ billion a year: analysis

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  5 Comments  •  5 Likes  •  3 days ago

“Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that the border is "secure," while calling for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.”

Legal immigration already includes a pathway to citizenship.  The need for an amnesty for illegal immigrants to allow a pathway to citizenship means the border is not secure.  The Biden administration (and Democrats) are trying to address the problem of an unsecure border by redefining illegal...

It's Neoliberalism, Stupid: A Millennial's Plea To Break The Status Quo

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  3 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 days ago

“I am part of a generation whose quality of life will be worse than those who came before us.”

Yes, it is the neoliberalism, stupid.  But neoliberalism is not about capitalism.  Neoliberalism is about exploitation. Economic disparities are not caused by low taxes.  Taxing income and wealth only allows government to become the sugar daddy that allows money to trickle down.  Economic...

Pelosi says farmers need illegal immigrants 'to pick the crops' in Florida

“We have a shortage of workers in our country”

The political rhetoric by prominent Democrats is timeless.  If only we had not ended the institution of slavery ... Democrats made these same 'economic' arguments to defend (and expand) the institution of slavery.  Slaves did the work that Americans wouldn't do.  And abolishing slavery would...

American Energy Bills Are Set To Soar This Winter

“As the global energy supply squeeze continues, the United States may finally begin to feel some of the squeeze”

As the United States more rapidly transitions to green alternatives, the United States is setting records for production of fossil fuels.  The net effect of increasing use of green alternatives has been to encourage increased consumption of energy.  Hindsight is 20/20.  Perhaps investing more in...

Biden approval rating dips 5 points in past week: poll

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  9 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  one week ago

“President Biden's approval rating dropped 5 points in the past week, according to a new Politico-Morning Consult poll.”

Oh, the fickle pointing-finger of Democrats.  Just remember --- it's not Biden's fault.  Biden is a transformative President that has to be walked back by the White House.  Nothing to see here.  Literally.

Biden says U.S. will never recognize Russian claims on Ukraine

“Biden denounced referendums as an "absolute sham"”

Should have thought about all of this last January, Joe.  It's a little late to stage an 'insurrection' to oppose a sham election.   Did anyone happen to notice that the Russia referendums depended upon remote voting?  People didn't have to go to the polls to vote, how convenient.  Supposedly...

Charging your EV at night is about to become more expensive

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  9 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  2 weeks ago

“Researchers from Stanford University say that EV owners should charge their vehicles during the day rather than at night to avoid higher demand...”

Yep, the alternatives of solar and wind power are less reliable at night.  There aren't a lot of options to overcome this problem.  EV owners will either need a second battery to recharge their vehicles at night or we continue to rely on fossil fuel generation for nighttime charging.  Of course...

Why has fact-checking disappeared under Biden?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  44 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  3 weeks ago

“But apparently fact-checkers are mostly on a four-year sabbatical at this point. And it's pathetic.”

No, no, no.  There just isn't any such thing as liberal bias in press.  The facts speak for themselves. When Republicans are in charge, the press assiduously turns facts into lies.  When Democrats are in charge, the press goes to great lengths to turn lies into facts. For the press, the ends...

Ukraine Defense Ministry compares Russian invasion to 9/11

“The Ukrainian Defense Ministry on Sunday compared the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 to the terrorist attacks on World Trade Center and the...”

Really?  Hey, let's just rewrite history.  Facts don't matter. Let's ignore the six months of warnings.  Let's ignore Russian troops massed on the borders.  Let's ignore that Ukraine had a pretty good idea where Russian troops would cross the borders.  Let's ignore Vladimir Putin's prime-time...

NYC Mayor Adams says city is at 'breaking point' with arrival of migrants sent from Texas

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  208 Comments  •  7 Likes  •  3 weeks ago

“More than 2,200 migrants have been bused to New York City from Texas since last month, prompting Mayor Eric Adams to say the city is at a "breaking...”

What is Mayor Adams complaining about, now?  The 'migrants' sent to New York have already been pre-screened.  New York hasn't had to deal with the worst of what's coming across the border.  Adams doesn't have to worry about the 'migrants' sent to New York causing a spike in crime.  If anything,...
