Politics/Religion Consolidated Megathread Extravaganza

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy confronted the Biden administration on Tuesday over its claim that illegal immigration has decreased by more than 90%.



The "more than 90%" claim received a lot of attention, but no follow-up at Monday's press briefing. So on Tuesday, Doocy took it upon himself to ask Jean-Pierre exactly from where she derived that figure.



"Where did that number come from?" he asked, noting that Customs and Border Protection says that illegal migration has increased compared to last year.



It's true, according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, that immigration numbers from countries in the parolee program improved — but that improvement was offset by increasing migration from countries not in the program.



"There was a window of time earlier this year where encounters with Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Cubans did temporarily dip 90% after a policy change, but other countries, like China, shot up over 800%. Illegal crossings, including Venezuelans, back at peak highs now," Melugin explained.



Indeed, on the same day that Jean-Pierre claimed immigration had improved, the Border Patrol announced that more than 22,000 migrants had been apprehended in the previous 72 hours.







In fact, when Biden announced the parolee program about four months ago, Melugin predicted the Biden administration would use the program control the optics of the border crisis while simultaneously exacerbating it.

That kweirdo picaninny coon need slapped across her lying face. I nearly get physically sick listening to her constant lies and condescending attitude. Bitch needs raped straight.

Every claim Biden makes is either exaggerated or a flat out lie. He claims HE creat 12 million new jobs. His statement is especially farcical coming on the heels of massive job losses from the pandemic. As the chart below displays, the lion's share of the "new" jobs the president supposedly "created" simply reflect the continued return of jobs lost at the onset of the pandemic:

The Biden Department of Justice and the FBI are reportedly in possession of a document that details a possible "criminal scheme"

involving then-Vice President Joe Biden's collusion with a foreign national.



According to a reportedly reputable whistleblower, the document in question allegedly provides specific details about how Biden did the bidding of a foreign national, delivering requested policy decisions in exchange for cash.



House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) are now demanding that the FBI produce the record in question, having issued a subpoena to that effect.



The Republican duo penned a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday, noting that on the basis of "legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures ... it has come to our attention that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form."



An FD-1023 form is a document used by the FBI to record interviews with whistleblowers and other sources.



According to Comer and Grassley, the form contains "valuable, verifiable information" describing "an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions."



In addition to a broad outline of impropriety, the record allegedly "includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose."

AOC finally did something smart since she became a member of congress. She voted to ban congress from trading and owning stocks. She voted with Matt Gaetz. Who would have thunk it.

US job growth fared better than expected in April despite bank turmoil and a decelerating economy, the Labor Department reported Friday.



Nonfarm payrolls increased 253,000 for the month, beating Wall Street estimates for growth of 180,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.



April's upside surprise was offset by sharp downward revisions in previous months. March's count was slashed to 165,000, down 71,000 from the initial estimate, while February fell to 248,000, a reduction of 78,000. Also, the household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate, showed a softer total jobs gain of 139,000.



Friday's report comes amid persistent troubles in the banking industry, particular mid-size regional institutions that have been hit by runs on deposits and worried investors who have sent share prices tumbling.



That has come at the same time that the economy appears to be slowing towards a possible recession later in the year. Gross domestic product increased just 1.1% in the first quarter, largely on an inventory drawdown though there have been signs that consumer spending is weakening. Credit card spending, for instance, has declined 0.7% from a year ago, according to Bank of America.



Despite the bank troubles and recession fears, the Federal Reserve this week raised its benchmark interest rate another quarter percentage point, taking it to its highest level since August 2007.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, who now suggests a carbon tax of $247 per tonne - the biggest tax hike in Canadian history.



Here's what the Parliamentary Budget Office said about the effect of the carbon tax in a recent report:



[We] estimate that most households will see a net loss, paying more in the federal fuel charge and GST, as well as receiving lower incomes, compared to the Climate Action Incentive payments they receive and lower personal income taxes they pay (due to lower incomes).

Ron DeSantis is backing a bill that would ban Chinese citizens from owning land or property in Florida.



Critics say it is discriminatory and could violate the Fair Housing Act.



DeSantis has previously said that it is "not in the best interests of Florida to have the Chinese Communist Party owning farmland."



The priority bill has the backing of Governor Ron DeSantis, along with Republican and some Democratic legislators, who argue it is needed to ensure national security.

A Denver city council representative seeking re-election proposed taxing "White-led businesses" and redistributing the wealth to minorities as reparations for the harm of capitalism.



"Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor and stolen resources. And a check today could not undo the cumulative impact of generations of that stolen wealth in all of those categories," Denver councilwoman Candi CdeBaca said during a political forum Friday.



CdeBaca said there were existing structures "that could be flipped" to compensate for land, labor and resources allegedly lost due to racism.



The forum was hosted by The Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance — an organization of Black clergy dedicated to civil rights and social justice — and included several candidates seeking to represent a district that includes part of the historic downtown Denver area.



CdeBaca proposed changing an existing business improvement district (BID) in the economically depressed Five Points neighborhood within her district to collect taxes only from White-owned businesses in the city and redistribute the funds to businesses owned by Black and Brown individuals.



"Instead of a BID collecting extra taxation from the Black and Brown businesses that are struggling, you could be collecting those extra taxes from White-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to Black and Brown owned businesses who are not part of it or who are simply just Black- or Brown-owned. And that's one way to give back in the business fashion."



Other reparations proposals, like Denver's Daily Basic Income program, do not go far enough to address the structure of racism, according to CdeBaca. One proposal, which focuses on giving daily basic income and mainly reaches homeless people, for instance, doesn't go far enough.

I note with interest that these grifters banging on with their pious talk of reparations are loath to address the elephant in the room only ever seem to target the white folk. Nary a word is ever addressed regarding the matter of yard apes being imported into a land foreign to them, nor the black communities who enslaved them for the purposes of resale in the first place (see the king of Benin). Nor is any mention made of the prairie nıggers and the land they appropriated from competing tribes and civilizations... none of these are being called to make payment on the kinds of extortion expected of white culture.



In fact I would go as far as to state that this entire grift of holding one racial group to a standard the rest are exempt from is racist and bigoted in and of itself.



A Hate Crime in fact, and one that ought be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the "law" these ratbags pushed for in the first place.



Throw them all into pits full of snakes and never let them see the sun again I say.

The whole idea of repaying people who were never slaves and punishing those who never owned slaves is ridiculous.

Its fostering lots of hate on one side, and it will only fortify a sense of entitlement on the other side.

That will push many Canadians into the ranks of the poor.
