California Offers Free Housing to Migrants

California.Migrant.FreeHousing

The US government highly favors migrants over citizens. California’s Senate passed a bill that will permit illegal migrants to secure housing loans at 0% interest with a 0% downpayment. They will receive grants of up to $150,000 to use toward the home. California citizens are handing these people free healthcare, debit cards, phones, and now home ownership. How do the Democrats justify this blatant scheme?

I spoke with an acquaintance who happens to be moving to California. She was on board with the program and agreed with the Democrat’s handling of the migrant crisis. “Where else are they going to live? It will make it easier for them to find housing, and immigrants are such a vital piece of our economy.” She fails to understand the economic implications behind such a move and is disillusioned about the overall demographic of migrants, as most did not come to the US to work because that was never a requirement.

Banks make US citizens go through hoops to secure housing. You must show solid employment for two years, good credit, and a low debt-to-income ratio. The banks review every single asset someone owns and their potential for future income to ensure that the potential homeowner will be able to repay. It is a long and tedious process unless you pay in cash, which few can do. Then they ask for up to 20% on a downpayment and slap on an 8% interest rate, give or take. Property taxes and insurance premiums rise every year without fail. The banks will gladly foreclose a property if they do not receive payment when it’s due. US citizens who worked their entire lives and actually paid into the corrupt system are unable to secure housing. California, in fact, has the highest homeless population in the nation.

How will these migrants pay property taxes? How will they pay for property insurance, which often surpasses the cost of property taxes? What happens when the local municipality goes bust, and no one can pay the bank? There was absolutely no consideration regarding how these migrants with no proven work history or potential future earnings could make payments. The government cannot afford to buy homes for every migrant family. There is no plan in place to finance this initiative properly because the money does not exist. California’s deficit already stands at $47 billion and continues despite Governor Newsom raising taxes at every turn.

“With many legal residents not able to afford a home, should we really be giving free cash to illegal immigrants? Every dollar that goes to an illegal immigrant is one less dollar available to legal residents including veterans, teachers, and families,” said California Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones, R-San Diego, in a statement. “California already spends $5 billion per year on free healthcare for illegal immigrants—will it ever be enough for Democrats’ political agendas?”

California is one of numerous blue states that plan to give the migrants even more taxpayer funds. Oregon announced that it will provide migrants with $30,000 to use toward housing under its Camino a Casa program that is ONLY available to illegal migrants. This is clear state-sponsored discrimination against US citizens at a time when the majority of renters are struggling to enter the housing market.

What are the benefits of US citizenship at this point? We are the ones footing the bill for ourselves and the millions of newcomers. Someone can break international law, cross over the border with their entire extended family, and receive more benefits from the government than any senior, veteran, or disabled person living on government assistance. Kamala Harris plans to build millions of new homes to curb the housing crisis, BUT SHE IS KEEPING THE BORDER OPEN! How can we ever quell the uneven demand when millions of people are pouring into our nation?

So, they plan to solve the migrant housing crisis by simply giving them free homes. Will all the newcomers also receive free housing? How will this change the demographic of neighborhoods and communities throughout California? Politicians never look a moment past the next election, and they simply do not care about the long-term repercussions of their actions.

The Trump Assassination Attempt Getting Worse By The Day


Posted Aug 29, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The assassination attempt on Trump will most likely go down in history as another Neocon conspiracy to retain power, as was the case with JFK. There is way TOO MUCH at stake here, and a Trump victory with RFK now, who both are fully aware that the Neocons pose the greatest threat to their power. There is no reason with these people. They have their dogma, but you see a great divide taking place in Israel with leaders of intelligence, etc, coming out against Netanyahu. There is nothing these people will not do, for they are confused about what is best for their country based on their personal beliefs and prejudices.

FBI Says Trump Attempted Assassin Acted Alone and There’s No Motive Behind “Why”


Posted originally on the CTH on August 28, 2024 | Sundance 

I’m not surprised, I’m just angry.  According to Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office leading the investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump, Matthew Crooks acted alone -no coconspirators- and the FBI has no idea what his motive was.

According to the representative for the “best men” the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, Crooks might have been a leftist or a far-right extremist, they are just not sure.

What the FBI does know is that no one taught or helped Crooks make complicated explosives, and they are sure he acted alone… for some mysterious reason…. that culminated in a bullet passing through the top of President Trump’s right ear.

The pretending that permeates the FBI is infuriating to me. It is almost difficult to write or share this stuff.

WASHINGTON – Six weeks after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the FBI still doesn’t know what motivated the shooter.

“Extensive analysis of the subject’s online search history as well as his specific online activity has provided us valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters Wednesday.

So far, he added, the FBI sees “no definitive ideology … either left-leaning or right-leaning” associated with the shooter, Thomas Crooks.

Rather, Crooks had “a sustained, detailed effort to plan an attack on some event” and considered multiple targets, according to Rojek. He became “hyper-focused” on Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after it was announced. Crooks fired eight shots at Trump from a rooftop that day, killing one person in the crowd, injuring two others and injuring Trump’s ear. Within seconds, a Secret Service sniper shot and killed Crooks.

There are no signs that Crooks had any co-conspirators or had links to foreign entities, officials said.

The FBI has accessed and analyzed material from encrypted email accounts he used, officials added.

[…] “We will never be able to determine exact motivation for why the subject flew the drone,” he added. (read more)

The FBI doesn’t know his motivation. 

How about just accepting, the friggin’ guy was trying to kill President Donald Trump!  This is not a super challenging motive to identify.

SUMMARY – In addition to bringing explosives, a detonator, a range finder, a backpack and an AR15 rifle to the rally, while finding a way to sit undetected -on a rooftop- directly underneath a counter-sniper position, the 20-year-old without a social media footprint apparently had air superiority and was flying his drone around the venue.

.

♦ […] “The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I’m 99% sure based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn’t fire after his 8th shot.” [Clay Higgins Report, pdf – page 4]

Smith Issues Superseding Indictment to Avoid A Public Hearing That He Would Have Lost


Posted Aug 27, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |

Smith Garland

Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in the same DC case, showing how desperate the Democrats are to stop Trump from winning the White House, for he and RFK would shut down the Neocons who are taking us into World War III. Smith is outright seeking to Interfere in the 2024 Election. Smith was also never appointed or approved by Congress. He is an unauthorized hack of Merrick Garland, another Neocon who hates Russians. Garland also claims that his family was persecuted by Russians, along with Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland. What are the odds that three people with personal family grievances with Russians control the Biden White House?

FBI Jan 6th

The FBI has conceded that they had so many agents there on January 6th that they could not even give a number to Congress. There is reasonable doubt as to who actually broke into the Capitol. Was it FBI undercover that created the affair to allow Pelosi to suspend normal rules for counting the votes? They want to blame Trump, but the beneficiary was actually Pelosi and Biden. There was also concern that calling in the National Guard presented an unspoken risk. Those in the military tend to lean more toward Trump than Biden. There were concerns that the National Guard could have switched sides and supported Trump vs Pelosi/Biden. After all, that is how coups often take place.

The actual rigging of the election took place in Congress. The claims that Trump denied bringing in the National Guard was false. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg testified before Congress that President Donald Trump did, in fact, request National Guard troops be deployed in Washington D.C. before the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Kellogg also said he was present at the time of Trump’s request and that Congress should release his testimony to the public, but the Democrats withheld that testimony. The American Military News also wrote:

“David Bossie, who wrote the Washington Times op-ed noted Jan. 3 conversation between Trump and Miller and said the Jan. 6 select committee is “crafting a narrative that doesn’t quite add up and omits important facts that would not stand if there were proper Republican representation on the committee.”

NBC News reported that the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard told members of Congress Wednesday that he had troops ready to deploy immediately to the Capitol on Jan. 6th. Still, it took more than three hours for the Defense Department to give the green light. This has raised questions about the Deep State and did they delayed the National Guard to ensure that the FBI broke the windows and led the protestors into the Capitol so that Pelosi was able to declare EMERGENCY RULES, shutting down all challenges to any state vote. If a state is challenged, it is to be debated in the full House. Pelosi imposed the COVID Rule that restricts the maximum number of people on the floor to 53. Any election rigging took place in Congress. It was not about voting machines or dead people voting which always takes place in every election.

Jack Smith has revised everything because he would have had to reveal his case is a mini-trial all over evidence in light of the Supreme Court. If Smith had tried to proceed under the original indictment would have given Trump a hearing that would have turned into a mini-trial. Smith would have been forced to bring in his witnesses and experts to testify and make the case for why Trump’s charges should remain or should be dropped. This superseding indictment was really to fold his case, which would have been questionable to begin with, and he would have lost respect in the public eye all before the election. The judges in all of Trump’s ongoing criminal cases must go through to apply the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.

While we have the diehard Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law, they spell “justice” using two words: “JUST US” and do not care about the future. The Supreme Court also held that prosecutors have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY and judges, but the President should not be above the law? Why? They are?

The Supreme Court in 1993 also was confronted by the constant abuse of prosecutors in an investigative context. They finally ruled that abuse of the investigative process is grounds to deny the prosecutor’s absolute immunity under Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259 (1993). That ruling reversed the holding of Absolute Immunity for prosecutors. The Immunity decision in the Trump case follows the same path that official acts are immune, the same as Smith enjoys. Still, UNOFFICIAL acts do not carry absolute immunity in the same way as the improper investigative acts Smith.

So let’s stop the partisan BS, and without the rule of law, NO NATION can stand!!!!!!!

This superseding indictment was to avoid an evidentiary hearing that would have been a mini-trial that would have Smith losing much of his wind, looking to the entire world that is just a partisan hack with the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election.

The Lawfare Group Draw up a Modified 4 Count Indictment Hoping to Regenerate Legal Battles Against President Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on August 27, 2024 | Sundance

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses.  Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.”

The 36-page indictment is available HERE.  Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.

The Lawfare crew then hand off the indictment to Jack Smith who runs it through a Grand Jury, and re-files it as a new set of issues; however, the majority of the case is structurally the same, they just took out the evidence they were using.  This fiasco does not appear to be any better than the previous pages of Lawfare.

(Via Politico) – […] The new indictment removes some specific allegations against Trump but contains the same four criminal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. It’s a signal that Smith believes the high court’s immunity decision doesn’t pose a major impediment to convicting the former president.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” Smith’s team wrote in an accompanying court filing.

The development is unlikely to alter the reality that a trial in the case before the November election looks impossible. In fact, the new indictment could drag the case out further — defense attorneys often seek delays after prosecutors revise criminal allegations.

Both sides face a Friday deadline to propose next steps to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Biden appointee who is overseeing the proceedings in the trial court. Chutkan has scheduled a Sept. 5 hearing to set a course for the case. (read more)

When Family is Not Family


Posted originally on Aug 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Kerry Kennedy 2

QUESTION: What do you think of RFK’s sister? I can’t imagine her as a family member.

GH

ANSWER: Let me explain something that shocked me when I was a kid. My father had a client whose children never supported him. My father did his will, and he left everything to the live-in housekeeper who took care of him for his last ten years of life. The family never visited and basically just disagreed with whatever he stood for. What I remember was the very day he died, his kids ransacked his house, convinced he had stashes of cash. They began punching holes in the walls, looking for money.

What I remember is that the housekeeper had no idea he left everything to her. The kids challenged the will, and my father defended it. Because of their actions, the court ruled in favor of the housekeeper, and they had to pay all the legal fees plus repair the house they trashed. The good old days when “JUSTICE” stood for something instead of “JUST US.”

Simply because she may be his sister means nothing. She appears to be a questionable person who is clearly voting labels and has no idea what her father and uncle stood for. I hate to tell her, but JFK and her father were taken out (1) because they were AGAINST war, and (2) JFK wanted to shut down the CIA after they proposed killing Americans and blaming it on Cuba to justify invading. Has she ever heard of Ukraine? Perhaps we should send her a coupon to buy an M16 and a free ticket to the front over there, where she can join the war and support Kamala and the Neocons who killed her own family members.

I would remove her from my will or leave her all my liabilities to pay off. With a family member like that, who needs enemies?

655cafcdfc6f3cfc4e8a0d1e_Roy%20Kellerman

Perhaps she should study her facts. Roy Kellerman (1915 -1984) had more than 20 years of experience with the Secret Service and was in charge of the Dallas security operation on Nov 22, 1963. He was in the front passenger seat of JFK’s limo and briefly turned back when the first shot was fired. He described a shot that sounded like a firecracker, then two more gunshots that ended in a ‘flurry’ of shells, indicating more than three shots had been fired. He told the Warren Commission that President Kennedy’s special assistant, Kenneth O’Donnell, instructed that the bubble top on the car should be removed if the weather was clear that day. After Roy’s death, his widow reported that her husband was convinced there had been a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. It has been over 60 years, and they refuse to release the investigative documents.

The Cities with the Highest Unemployment in America


Posted Aug 23, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

The Democratic National Convention occurring in Chicago is touting the importance of defeating Trump, climate change, gun control, and abortion. These are the ONLY talking points that the Democrats harp on while ignoring the REAL issues plaguing the nation. It was revealed earlier this week that the Biden-Harris Administration completely failed to create new jobs outside of the public sector. As the elite sit behind armored walls, the people of Chicago are suffering under blue policies. In fact, Chicago now ties with Las Vegas for the highest unemployment rate in the nation.

Both Las Vegas and Chicago have an unemployment rate of 6.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Detroit comes in third with a rate of 5.2%, far above the national unemployment rate or 4.3% posted in July.

“Chicago has fewer workers and more unemployed residents than before Mayor Brandon Johnson took office in May 2023,” the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) noted in a report. “Johnson ran on the idea, and has continuously proclaimed, that his administration is ‘making Chicago the most pro-worker city in the country.’ There’s just one problem with that – today, nearly 100,000 Chicagoans are out of work.”

Businesses and individuals have fled Chicago and Las Vegas in droves. Crime in Chicago rose an astounding 82% in two years. In Las Vegas, you have a 1 in 28 chance of becoming a victim of crime. Violent crime in Vegas has reached 40.9%, which is far beyond the national rate of 22.7%. Businesses cannot stay open in these conditions where theft and violence is permitted. Chicago considered implementing city-run grocery stores after businesses fleeing led to a food desert.

Both cities are deemed sanctuary cities. They cannot handle their own population but have opened the floodgates to countless individuals who are solely living on government assistance. Their budgets have imploded and those in charge lost control of the situation long ago.

Over 87,000 left Illinois last year, as did the $10 billion they were providing the state in income. The IRS believes the state has lost $47.5 billion in adjusted gross income over the last six years due to the blue state exodus. This trend has only accelerated due to recent policies. “We’re not bringing in the best and the brightest in many cases to the state of Illinois; we’re actually pushing them out of the state with horrible policies and we’re back filling it with folks that want services,” State Sen. Andrew Chesney, R-Freeport reported, as 177,000 new incomers entered the state while 264,000 abandoned it during the same period of 2021 to 2022.

Businesses will flee when crime rises to the point where it is no longer profitable to operate. Crime reached such an unprecedented level that these companies were willing to take a loss simply to leave. Naturally, they took jobs with them and those with the means to move have done so already. These once-great cities are now ravaged by poverty and crime.

Corporations have already fled to move to states that are business-friendly. Who would want to live in such a place other than those receiving government aid who are already part of the problem? It is an insult to the people of Chicago for the DNC to cheer on their only talking points (guns, climate change, Trump, and abortion) while ignoring the American citizens struggling around them.
