Denver Cuts City Budget in Favor of Migrants

Cities across America are watching their budgets implode due to the migrant crisis. Instead of deporting the people who entered illegally, cities are beginning to cut their budgets to reallocate funds. So the taxpaying public are having their contributions unfairly stolen by their politicians to pay for illegal activities.

Denver is one of many sanctuary cities that is now slashing their budgets to make room for the migrants. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced public services will be cut by $5 million, and predicts the surge of unknown residents will cost taxpayers $180 million in 2024. The news comes one month after the city redirected $25 million away from legal residents. These politicians have absolutely no scope of the true cost of paying for unemployed migrants who do not contribute to society. They refuse to address the core problem, because that would unmask the true motive behind the deliberate and calculated invasion.

Johnston and other leaders of sanctuary cities continue to blame the Republicans and Trump. Johnston cited the GOP blocking the most recent spending package as the reason for the recent budget cuts. “I want it to be clear to Denverites. Who is not responsible for this crisis that we’re in [is] folks who have walked 3,000 miles to get to this city,” the mayor said. Well, you presented your city as a safe haven for asylum seekers. The truth of the matter is that you did not expect Abbott and others to ship migrants to your door.

“Despite broad bipartisan support, I think [former President] Trump and Republican leaders saw this as a chance that if this bill actually passed, it would have successfully solved the problem facing cities and the border, and they would have rather seen it fail, so they could exacerbate these problems, extend the suffering of American people and of newcomers for their own electoral changes this November,” Johnston continued.

This is actually how these people operate as they believe spending more money, on foreign wars at that, could act as a viable solution. A child with a piggy bank has a better grip on finances. These cities refuse to admit that perhaps building a wall or simply securing the border, GOP-led initiatives, would curb the crisis. Is all of this chaos worth turning your cities blue? Biden has the authority to stop this madness at any time.

We will see more cities slash their budgets as they realize they simply cannot afford to bankroll tens of thousands of people. This will lead to increased civil unrest as Americans watch their quality of life drop as their taxes are misused for political ploys. The asinine amount of money American citizens pay in taxes should not be spent on people from foreign nations, be it on wars or migrants.

Marjorie Taylor Greene – Good – Bad – Different

Greene Marjorie Taylor Greene

I found Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview with Tucker Carlson quite enlightening. I never really formed an opinion of her one way or the other. The image that floated around was she was some sort of radical. After listening to the interview, I can confirm what she said about how Washington Works was correct. You are not supposed to make a motion from the floor. All motions are to be through a committee. This is how Congress restricts your representation. What she has stood for on most occasions was rather common sense. Congress is bought and paid for, and that is why these people keep sending billions to Ukraine with no end in sight. The fact that both Republicans and Democrats hare Greene so much, that alone means we need to listen because the rest do not have our interests at heart.

As I have said many times, I can run for Congress, tell you whatever you need to hear to vote for me, and then when I get there, I am supposed to vote the party line. This is the entire problem as to why I warn that Republics are the most corrupt form of government known to history.

Boom Bust Credit Cycle by Martin Armstrong

This is the reality of the Business Cycle. You get a picture of the leadership cycle when you throw in politics. The economic hard times inevitably will cause the rise of strong men to come to the rescue, such as Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers. They, in turn, result in the Business Cycle and produce good times that ultimately peak with the typical euphoria.  However, the prosperous good times lead to mismanagement and corruption, which take hold, and the Business Cycle begins to decline. The once-boom times of euphoria are rapidly supplanted by hard times as incompetent and corrupt leaders undermine the foundation that created the prosperous times. As the economy then crashes and burns, taking the business cycle down, this, in turn, will lead once again to the rise of strong leadership. This, the Business Cycle of Leadership follows the same time frame.

I have often been asked how Socrates can forecast elections without polls. It looks at the Business Cycle, and human nature simply never changes. Just follow the money. We have nobody representing our interests anymore. That is a sad state of affairs. The only solution is to vote according to the voting records of the person entrenched in Washington politics.

House Intel Chairman Proclaims Russians from Space Are Coming After USA


Posted originally on the CTH on February 14, 2024 | Sundance 

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI, Chairman Mike Turner is quite predictable in his methods to support the Intelligence Community.  {Background Here}

Today, Chairman Mike Turner shocked the DC system by proclaiming Russians from Outer Space were coming to destroy us.   This “deadly Russians” narrative, as sold by Mike Turner, supports: (1) Ukraine funding, (2) FISA reauthorization and the (3) “seven ways to Sunday” Deep State.

WASHINGTON DC – A vague warning by the chair of the House Intelligence Committee about a “serious national security threat” Wednesday is related to Russia’s attempts to develop an antisatellite nuclear weapon for use in space, according to two people familiar with the matter.

While the people did not provide further details on the intel, one of them noted the U.S. has for more than a year been concerned about Russia’s potentially creating and deploying an antisatellite nuclear weapon — a weapon the U.S. and other countries would be unable to adequately defend against.

In his statement Wednesday morning, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said his committee had made available the information about the national security threat and called on the administration to declassify the intelligence so officials and lawmakers could discuss the matter with allies.

It is not clear what prompted Turner to issue the statement now, as the intelligence has been available to leaders of the House intelligence committee and their top aides in a secure room on Capitol Hill for more than a week, one of the people said. The Senate intelligence committee has also had access to the information. (read more)

Now, right before the latest Dangerous Russians from Outer Space narrative was triggered, guess where Mike Turner was?

Funny how that happens, eh?

Good Guy With a Gun Prevents Mass Shooting


Posted originally on Feb 14, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

A massacre was prevented over the weekend, thanks to a good guy with a gun. Governments globally are looking to eliminate or severely restrict firearm usage, citing that civilians do not need to defend themselves. On Sunday, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, entered a Houston megachurch wearing a black trench coat concealing an AR-15 featuring pro-Palestinian messaging. She did not expect two off-duty police officers to be seated in the pews.

Sadly, Moreno’s 7-year-old son fell by her own bullets inside the church, and another parishioner was also injured after being shot in the leg. Moreno is transgendered and uses male and female aliases. Their ex-husband is Jewish, and police said they found “anti-Semitic” writings but have not published them. Moreno has a long history of arrests spanning from 2005, including unlawful possession of a firearm. This person was NOT in legal possession of the weapon that they were intended to use to kill Christians.

Praying

The men who intervened acted heroically and fatally shot Moreno. Would you have preferred to wait until the police were called and more lives were taken by this disturbed, violent criminal? We saw how the police failed to act after the Uvalde school shooting that claimed the lives of 19 students and two teachers.

The point of the matter is that gun restrictions are a danger to our society. No one knows how Moreno obtained a weapon, but criminals will always have access to firearms. Regulations only prevent law-abiding citizens from self-defense, first against others and, secondly, against their own government. Authorities are still investigating whether this was a hate crime, which should raise eyebrows.

The media claims perhaps she acted hatefully towards Jews because her ex-husband had Jewish relatives. The “Palestine” sticker on the assault rifle should give some indication as to her motive. Others say she acted hatefully towards Hispanics as she entered prior to a Spanish-speaking service. No one is discussing how this happened in a church, and she intended to hunt Christians, hence why this story is receiving minimal coverage since Christians are not a protected class in America.

Catherine Herridge has been released from employment with CBS as a round of job terminations and cost cutting initiatives have been triggered.

Many people liked Herridge and she seemed to do a better job than normal given her position(s) inside the machinery.  However, I lost most of my respect for Herridge approximately 4 years ago, and eventually just considered her a great pretender amid a multitude of big pretenders.

CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews reportedly fired Herridge.

New York Post – […] Sources said CBS News’ Washington bureau, where Herridge covered national security and intelligence, was hit particularly hard.

Among the other Washington casualties, sources said, was CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues, who was subjected to HR probes over his workplace behavior, including an alleged incident in which he dressed down a female colleague in a “20-minute rant.”

When the incident was investigated in 2021, insiders said, Ciprian-Matthews — who insiders have accused of promoting minorities while unfairly sidelining white journalists — attempted to “blame” the female correspondent and eventually gave Pegues a promotion. (read more)
