The city has offered to increase wages by 7% over three years, which led to the worker strike beginning Tuesday.

ONE PERCENT difference and they go on strike - typical screwed up democrat-run hellhole!

Quote from: DKG on July 04, 2025, 10:09:34 AMOn the third day of a union strike of municipal workers, garbage is piling up in Philadelphia, and some workers are resorting to threats and vandalism against residents who dare to break the strike.

The City of Philadelphia is negotiating with members of the AFSCME District Council 33 union, who are asking for a wage increase of 8% per year. The city has offered to increase wages by 7% over three years, which led to the worker strike beginning Tuesday.

Since then, residents are reporting that garbage is piling up and threatening their standard of living.

The city has set up dumpster locations, but union workers are demanding that residents respect the strike and ignore the garbage sites to pressure the city into caving to their demands.

I remember watching on the news when Toronto had it's garbage strike.....it was a smelly mess.

I remember driving down to the city during the strike. You could smell the rotting trash before I reached Canada's Wonderland on the 400 highway.

A Washington sheriff has repeatedly vowed to defy the state's "unconstitutional" sanctuary laws to help ICE remove dangerous illegal aliens.

Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer, who describes himself as a "constitutional sheriff," stated that he would tell border czar Tom Homan to put him "on speed dial."

"You call me," Songer said in March. "We'll be there to assist ICE in a New York second. Because by doing that, we're protecting the citizens of our county."

He blamed the "Biden cartel" for "purposely" fueling the illegal immigration invasion by giving up on protecting the border.

"This is in my humble opinion: Those who will not help the federal government enforcing the immigration laws are unamerican," he remarked. "I would consider [them], [in] my personal opinion, enemies of the state."

Vance/Songer 2028!!!   

Officials said at least 32 people are dead, including 14 children, as a result of flooding in Texas, the New York Times reported, adding that 27 girls from the Christian camp remain missing.

Americans paid 8.25% tax on fireworks for the 4th of July to celebrate winning independence from a country because of a 2% tax on tea.

Why the hell did they build a kids camp in an area prone to flooding?

A lot of construction is over flood plains.

Violent anti-immigration protests break out - in Mexico

I can see that happening in Canadian cities. The former peaceful cohesion between immigrants and Canadian citizens has been eroded under the Liberals. Unsustainable levels of immigration have caused dangerously high levels of homelessness.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law.

Dugan — who has been characterized by Democratic lawmakers both as a courtroom hero and as a victim of the Trump administration — is desperate to avoid going to trial for allegedly helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico charged with three misdemeanor counts of battery, get away from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Dugan, whose actions on April 18 were largely caught on courthouse cameras, evidently figured the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. United States condemned by Democrats last summer was her ticket out of trouble.

Ugly fat cunt needs disbarred and sent to prison!

We can hope the days of lower court judges acting like Kim Jong Il are coming to an end.

They are protesting foreigners being there not assimilating to their culture. SHOCKER! 

If citizens in America can't protest because they are labeled xenophobic, racist, nationalist, tribalist colonizers than so are these Mexican citizens!

Unless they're pure Olmec, Mayan or Aztecs; they are just older colonizers protesting newer colonizers!

Same difference!

On a side note:  who cares if it's called the Gulf of America vs Mexico?

It's still North & South AMERICA!

Unless USA is South Canada or North Mexico.

Without border enforcement it may very well be.
