My Gazette: American Cities

You know that little voice in your head that prevents you from saying the things you shouldn't say.  Yeah, I don't have that!

By Rich Kozlovich 

 

America's major cities are economic disasters and crime ridden sewers, and you can thank leftists Democrats for that, along with their sick allies in the media, and most of the mayors of those cities have black administrations.  In 2021 Daniel Greenfield listed the 14 worst mayors in America, and of those 14, all the white mayors but one were replaced by black mayors.  But each and every one of them then, as well as now, are blatant far left racists and Democrats, and they've turned their cities in to crime ridden sewers.   Oh, and one more thing. The truth isn't racist, it's just the truth.  

Biden's administration has created an immigration nightmare to the point we now have ‘Burglary Tourists who fly in to rob Americans

"Democrat-run cities are now magnets for every terrible thing in the world: an invasion of illegal aliens, violent criminals, burglaries, drug abuse, and pervasive homelessness. The moment you tolerate this behavior, you invite more of it............No sympathy. None."

Then we have these famous and/or wealthy people who promote all these leftist narratives, and then find they've created a disaster.  But do they change their minds?  No.  They change their addresses!  Then, unlike the typical citizen of these communities, they can afford to move somewhere else.  Contaminating stable communities, and states with their insane rantings. 

But that's not just in America's major cities.  It's true in small town America as well.  These politicians use public funds as if they were using ATM's, and any condemnation of their blatantly criminal activity is called racist! In the case of these next two nitwits, racism and misogyny.

Henyard And Bowser: Two Racist Mayors Telling Lies And Abusing Constituents -By Milt Harris ——--April 16, 2024 -  Muriel Bowser and Tiffany Henyard are two racist black Democrat mayors who are misusing funds and, by doing so, are abusing their constituents. Over the past weekend, Bowser made plans to attend the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. On Saturday, she updated her public calendar, stating that her visit to Augusta was for sports and economic development purposes.......

Embattled Democrat mayor accused of using police as personal ‘Gestapo’ to target those who didn’t support her campaign - February 22, 2024 By Olivia MurrayBy now, you’ve probably heard of Tiffany Henyard, the embattled Biden-loving Democrat mayor of Dolton, Illinois, who recently came under fire for raking in a “combined salary of nearly $300k” to fund her glamorous first-class lifestyle and high-maintenance beauty routine—for context, the town’s residents have a median income of around $24,000. But Henyard refused to concede that perhaps isn’t the best example of a civil servant and lambasted her dissenters, telling them they should be “ashamed” of themselves for daring to petition for accountability and financial transparency. (Note: all Henyard’s critics were also black.)  Well there’s been a development, and the allegations are simply scandalous. Here’s the story, from Cristina Laila at The Gateway Pundit:

Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard is now under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.One business owner told The New York Post that he made one contribution to Henyard and her minions kept coming after him demanding more money. When he didn’t comply, Henyard shut down his trucking business.Tiffany Henyard reportedly used the police as her personal Gestapo to shut down more than a dozen businesses after they refused to give her money. Lawrence Gardner owns a U-Haul rental and trucking business in south suburban Dolton and says he went to the FBI several months ago, frustrated that the Village of Dolton would not renew his business license.Gardner said he's been harassed and his business raided and shut down by Dolton Police. Gardner believes it’s retaliation after he refused to make a donation to a civic event sponsored by Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard.Dewayne Wood has been trying to renew the business license for his restaurant for nearly a year.Wood has not talked to the FBI, but he believes he can’t get ‘Wood’s Kitchen’ approved because he has provided catering to several Dolton trustees who are engaged in a political fight with Henyard. ‘I think I've been targeted because of my association, affiliation with a certain group of people,’ Wood said. ‘The trustees. I’ve cooked for the trustees.’..............
 
Sanctuary Cities Helped Keep 3x-Deported MS-13 Gang Member in U.S. - John Binder An MS-13 Gang member, previously deported three times, with a long criminal record was repeatedly shielded from federal immigration enforcement thanks to the sanctuary jurisdictions of Prince George’s County, Maryland and Washington, DC. The 36-year-old Salvadoran national has a documented record with the violent MS-13 Gang, had been arrested in the United States on 17 separate occasions dating back to December 2005, and was deported three times by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents before returning to the U.S. again, likely after illegally crossing the southern border for a fourth time......
 
 The Anti-Cultural Nihilism of the Left - By Paul Krause July 25, 2010 - The final battle lines for America are the history wars.  Conservatives are losing.  There have already been two fundamental revolutions that have reshaped, reconstituted, restructured American society.  The first was Abraham Lincoln and the subjugation of the primacy of the states, Northern and Southern alike, to the dictates of executive fiat and the federal government.  The second was Franklin Roosevelt and the subjugation of civil society to federal bureaucracy.  The first was a political revolution, the second a social revolution.  The third revolution is the ongoing cultural revolution, a revolution that includes factors such as immigration, the teaching and reception of European and North American history, and our own self-understanding as a people with an inheritance and a future......
 
 The Biden administration is destroying our national security infrastructure - March 5, 2024 By Andrea Widburg -  America has been facing a helium crisis that goes far beyond balloons and threatens our medical care and military readiness. Thankfully, a new helium reservoir has just been discovered, but the ongoing helium shortage won’t instantly go away and, combined with the Biden administration’s many anti-military policies, still leaves us vulnerable to a military strike by a foreign actor.  On Friday, news broke about the helium reservoir, along with the fact that (a) our national security depends on helium, (b) we’re dangerously low on that essential......

American Marxism and Unalienable Rights -By Steve McCann American Marxists have recently launched a new campaign in their ongoing war on America and its founding. Their latest salvo is the proposition that so-called “Christian Nationalism” is an existential threat to the nation. They define Christian Nationalism as: “an ideology that asserts all civic life in the U.S. should be organized according to a particularly conservative and ethnocentric expression of Christianity.”  The American Marxists absurdly claim that those who supposedly adhere to this ideology believe in: strict moral traditionalism, the retention of social hierarchies, authoritarian control exercised by the “right” people; and, White supremacy and strict ethno-racial boundaries. In reality, this drumbeat of Christian Nationalism is yet another means of accusing 45% of Americans who identify as evangelicals and Catholics and may vote for Donald Trump as being “racists and deplorables.” A deliberate tactic intended to further incite racial and tribal animosity among the electorate in a crucially important election year........

America’s Destruction and the Ghosts of Revolutions Past - March 6, 2024 By Vince Coyner  -Have you ever been listening to someone talk and have déjà vu even though you’ve never seen or heard of the person speaking, and the interview you’re watching happened just a few hours before? I have. Once. Last week. Hint: It has to do with America’s destruction. I was listening to Tucker interview Xi Van Fleet, a Chinese native who lived through the Cultural Revolution in China. She eventually immigrated to the United States, where she’s now lived for 40 years. Listening to her describe the beginnings of the Cultural Revolution and its eerie echoes here, I knew I’d heard something similar before. And then it hit me: I had. Exactly 40 years ago, a defector from the Soviet Union, Yuri Bezmenov, gave an interview explaining how the KGB was using what it called Ideological Subversion to collapse the United States......

The failures and pathology of leftism are on display across America - September 24, 2023 By Andrea Widburg -  Midwestern cities. They’re in the heart of the region that leftists now speak of derogatorily as “the flyover states.” But once, they were called the “heartland” because they embodied true American qualities.  And once upon a time, they did embody true American qualities. Back in the day, the government promised people that, if they could clear the land and make it usable, they could have the land. On the one hand, it was a giveaway but, on the other hand, there was nothing “free” about it. Instead, it was payment for painful, backbreaking, heartbreaking services rendered.

You see the products of these labors all over the Midwest. Beautiful, thoughtfully laid-out cities, charming small towns, endless green fields. Just a few years ago, even the Democrat-run cities, while they had their bad sides and poverty, were mostly nice places—really nice places—to live................ the Midwest’s decline is the BLM/Antifa riots that tore apart America—and that started in Minneapolis itself with George Floyd’s drug-related death while in police custody. I used to visit Minneapolis/St. Paul frequently before the riots and was invariably impressed by what a lovely duo of cities it was—well-ordered, beautiful, and safe. Now, though, the young people I knew who lived there are leaving because it’s too dangerous.......

Massachusetts Spending $64 a Day to Feed Each Migrant… On Track to Spend $1 Billion By 2025 - State records show that Massachusetts is spending about $64 per migrant per day to feed those in state care, a cost that is contributing to the expected one billion dollars in expenses to be spent by the Bay State by 2025. The latest numbers show that the state is paying out $16 for breakfast, $17 for lunch, and a whopping $31 for every dinner every day, according to WBZ-TV..............

Democrat-Run Austin at ‘Brink’ Due to Police ‘Staffing Collapse - John Nolte Today’s heartwarming story of Democrats getting what they voted for takes us to Austin, Texas, where a police staffing crisis exploded the murder rate, and according to a report there were no cops at all in a section of the city on one Saturday in February. “Austin, Texas residents are expressing outrage over police staffing shortages and longer 911-call response times in the aftermath of the city council’s vote to defund the department in 2020,” the New York Post reported. It gets better….....
Bail Set at $1 - Man Accused of Raping, Impregnating Teen Enjoys Charitable Release Due to Prosecution Flub - Bail Set at $1 - Man Accused of Raping, Impregnating Teen Enjoys Charitable Release Due to Prosecution Flub. 25-year-old Texas man facing accusations of raping a 16-year-old is no longer in jail due to a delay by prosecutors in obtaining an indictment against him. According to KTRK-TV, Luis Sanchez posted the $1 bail set by a judge last week and no longer is on the roster of Harris County Jail inmates. Sanchez was arrested in May on a charge of sexual assault of a child under the age of 17, related to an April 2022 incident.........
Dallas attacks lawful businesses on behalf of animal-rights groups - The Dallas City Council is about to introduce an ordinance to ban horse-drawn carriages in the City of Dallas, attempting to appease the animal rights agenda. The proposed ordinance is part of an ongoing national campaign spearheaded by well-funded radical animal rights organizations. But that’s only part of the story.  Last year, in 2023, the Texas State Legislature passed a bill called the Regulatory Consistency Act (HB2127) which prohibits local cities, counties, and local municipalities from adopting or enforcing an ordinance, order, rule, or policy that bans an existing law-abiding business.  According to this new law, Dallas City Council is acting unlawfully by introducing this ordinance to ban horse-drawn carriage businesses in the city of Dallas.

Antifa's Violent Attack on the Portland 'Peoples Truck Convoy' Was Openly Plotted on Twitter - By Victoria Taft Apr 30, 2022 - The “People’s Convoy” of truckers was attacked by known Antifa members who dropped projectiles, paintballs, eggs, and other objects at passing motorists in hopes of injuring drivers and stopping the convoy.  The attack could have been deadly. And it was openly organized on Twitter. But sure, let’s censor conservative speech, Silicon Valley and Alejandro Mayorkas.   Five people wearing masks stationed themselves on an I-205 overpass, which ribbons through Portland’s east side, and recklessly and wantonly threw objects at passing motorists and the convoy. They displayed a sign reading, “Trump Lost.” Apparently, the Jacobins assumed that everyone is as weak-minded as they were and that their words would trigger … something. The assault on the vehicles forced motorists to stop, causing a backup on a busy Friday afternoon on the interstate freeway that creates a beltway around parts of Southwest Washington and Portland.........

Zero Students Proficient in Math at 40 Percent of Baltimore High Schools  - Not a single student is proficient in math at 40% of Baltimore public high schools in the spring of 2023, according to state exam results obtained by Fox45. Nearly 2,000 students took the state math exam across the 13 schools with no proficient students. Of the students who took the exam at...

How Democrats went 'Evita' on the spending in their solid blue cities and states By Monica Showalter  February 27, 2024 Democrats have no ideas of value to sell to voters, so they spend money to buy votes. In blue cities and states, they spend big, bringing states and cities gargantuan debts and deficits, and never concern themselves for a minute about where the money to pay it back is going to come from.  Whether it's green schemes with its cash-to-cronies, bloated union pensions for do-nothing government workers, free five-star hotels, or health care for illegal aliens, or other boondoggles, it's spend, and spend again. And why not? Someone else will always bail them out..........

Johnson’s Chicago: 13 Armed Robberies in 8 Hours - AWR Hawkins Police are trying to identify suspects after 13 armed robberies occurred in Chicago during an 8-hour time frame on Saturday.  NBC 5 reported the robberies were all conducted by a group of men who jumped out of a vehicle, pulled handguns on their victims, and demanded that they hand over cash and property......

 

Americans Leaving Cities Destroyed by Democrats - Jeff Crouere  |  Mar 18, 2024- For decades, Democrats have controlled the nation’s largest cities. The results have been catastrophic, including high crime rates, blight, failing public educational systems, rampant poverty, and an expanding homeless population.   These horrific outcomes are due to Democrats supporting failed policies, such as raising taxes, increasing regulations, growing the government, and refusing to prosecute violent criminals. Consequently, citizens voted with their feet and left in droves, a trend which has started to accelerate.  For example, while the country’s population soared sixty million to 341 million since 2000, it was a much different situation in the progressive hellhole of Chicago. The “Windy City” lost 231,000 people in 24 years, the most out migration of any city in the nation. 
 
Chicago Teachers Union president with $50B in new demands tells Chicagoans to stop asking about the ‘cost’ -   March 8, 2024 By Olivia Murray -   In June, the contract between the Chicago Teachers Union and the city’s public school system is set to expire, at which point, the two parties will enter into negotiations, and union president Stacy Davis Gates already has a list of proposed increases she expects to range in the tens of billions. According to reporter Mark Glennon and Wirepoints, Davis Gates spoke before a crowd at the City Club of Chicago on Tuesday to address the upcoming negotiations, saying “it’s gonna get a little hot in this city” because as reported by the Chicago Sun Times, the list of demands she was coming to the table with are “defiant” contract stipulations. Elsewhere, other Wirepoints journalists reported that Davis Gates has publicly vocalized that under her leadership, the union is on a mission to achieve “cultural transformation” within the city’s school system as well as the city itself—the police presence in schools has already been eliminated—and some of the “defiant” new proposals she’ll be bringing to the negotiating table in June include:........
 
My Take - When you dance with the Devil you don't choose the dance, you don't call the tune, and you can't leave the dance floor. Schadenfreude Chicago, you're getting exactly what you deserve.  I think the author's South Africa analogy is a good one, and it's playing out in all of America's major cities. Most if not all of them run by Democrats and most of them run by black administrations.  RK

Desperate for money, Chicago sues ‘Big Oil’ - February 22, 2024 by Chris Talgo - February 22, 2024 Desperate for money, Chicago sues ‘Big Oil’ By Chris Talgo Last year, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson sued Hyundai and Kia based on the absurd allegation that the vehicles they make are too easy to steal. Now, Johnson has set his sights on “Big Oil,” claiming that British Petroleum, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute deceived “Chicago consumers about the climate dangers associated with their products.” “There is no justice without accountability,” said Johnson. “From the unprecedented poor air quality that we experienced last summer to the basement floodings that our residents on the West Side experienced, the consequences of this crisis are severe, as are the costs of surviving them. That is why we are seeking to hold these Defendants accountable.”......

'Traumatized' residents of wealthy San Francisco neighborhood resort to using CHICKEN WIRE to protect their homes against intruders as crime spirals - with even 'hard-core natives' feeling so unsafe they want to move - By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.ComCitizens in a residential area of San Francisco are bolstering their homes with chicken wire in a bid to keep out intruders. Happening in the city's Richmond District, the safety measures come amid a recent jump in burglaries, robberies, and homicides in the affluent neighborhood. Headline-grabbing incidents like thieves making off with a Bank of America ATM earlier this year have even longtime residents on edge - with some installing cameras and safety locks along with the unconventional farm equipment......

Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes Latest Celebrities to Leave Los Angeles - David Ng No more La La Land for Ryan Gosling. You can add Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes to the list of Hollywood celebrities who have bid farewell to Los Angeles. The celebrity couple moved out of L.A. with their two daughters to give their kids a quieter childhood, a source told People magazine. “For them, the most important job is their girls. Everything else comes second,” the unnamed source told People. “And their girls are thriving. They left L.A. to live a bit further north, away from Hollywood. They didn’t want the girls to grow up around other celebrity kids.”...........

Nolte: ‘Burglary Tourists’ Fly in from South America to Rob Dem-Run Los Angeles - John Nolte Tourism is up in Democrat-run Los Angeles — “burglary tourism”: from South America. Well, at least someone wants to visit that shithole. LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton told the far-left and slowly dying Los Angeles Times that “South American theft groups are not new in L.A., but they have become more active in recent months.” The Times adds: “He cautioned that it’s difficult to know for certain how many robberies can be attributed to foreign burglars, but said evidence indicates they are behind scores of break-ins.” In one area, north of the 118 freeway, he estimates there “were 94 burglaries, many probably committed by these crews.”.......
 
San Francisco provides an insight into the economic collapse of leftist polities By Andrea Widburg February 22, 2024 - Judge Erdogon - (and I always want to call him Erdogan, which I’m sure is Freudian) may have dealt an economic death blow to New York when he ruled against Donald Trump to the tune of almost half a billion dollars. Businesses and ordinary people have announced they intend to boycott New York, whether for self-protection or principle. But what happens when it’s the governing body that engages in boycotts? That turns out to be just as much of a death blow. The tale of San Francisco’s decision to boycott 30 states because the city disagreed with their politics is a wonderful example of leftist hubris and the economic havoc it wreaks......
 
Commiefornia Democrats ramp up assaults against property owners and push bill to force landlords to accept pets - February 26, 2024  By Olivia Murray -  California landlords, get out while you can.

Here are the details, according to a press release from Haney’s office:.......
 
Nightmare: Squatters take over home, and OWNER gets arrested! Changed locks while 'tenant' was away from residence -By Bob Unruh March 19, 2024 -In the topsy-turvy America today, where conservatives are jailed and liberals let off, where judges turn violent criminals loose and the Deep State's political enemies are behind bars, where illegal aliens have rights and property owners don't, this scenario probably shouldn't surprise: It is a case of squatters taking over a privately owned home and the owner getting arrested......
 
When Illegal Aliens Catch Wind of the Squatting Laws in Blue Cities, It’s Going to Get Ugly - Every now and then, I hear ideas or come across stories that I don’t want to put in writing. These usually surround information that I do not want out there because I don’t want to give anybody ideas. The article below is one of those cases; I didn’t want illegal aliens to figure out how they can further exploit one of the most ludicrous types of laws on the books in many major cities and leftist states. With Fox News covering it and other outlets picking it up, it’s time to warn Americans about a huge potential problem: Illegal aliens hopping on the squatter bandwagon. Squatting has become such a problem in many Democrat-run (and some RINO-run) cities and states that homeowners are rushing to sell any rental properties that sit vacant. In areas with loose squatter laws, the asset of owning rental homes has become a major liability when squatters take “ownership” and live in these homes rent-free for weeks or even months. Sometimes, it can extend for years and cost the actual homeowner tens of thousands of dollars just to get their property back.............
 
The New York Fire Department goes full North Korean on dissidents March 10, 2024 By Andrea Widburg - A state Attorney General is supposed to enforce the law impartially for the benefit of all citizens. However, New York’s AG, Letitia James, ran on an inherently political platform, vowing that she would destroy President Trump—and she’s tried to keep that promise. No wonder, then, that when she spoke at a Fire Department of New York (“FDNY”) promotion ceremony on Thursday, she got a political response from the assembled crowd: Boos. Now, the FDNY has gone full North Korean: Those who booed must turn themselves in for punishment and reeducation or be “hunted down.”  Part One of this saga is Letitia James’s 2018 campaign promise to destroy Donald Trump:......
 
My Take - You would assume the union would have something to say about this, along with  a lawsuit.....or maybe a strike, and get the police to join them. Now, that's protesting!  Well, it didn't happen, and it's clear they need new union leadership, and until then, get the members to join together and sue both the union and the city.  But due to the backlash the Department heads decided to leave it alone.   So....who are the fascists here?  RK

Thousands of police and TROOPS descend on N.Y. subway system - 'These brazen, heinous attacks will not be tolerated' By WND Staff March 6, 2024 - The violence, the attacks, the threats to life and limb in New York City's subway system have gotten so bad the governor is insisting that National Guard troops be deployed to protect the innocent civilians trying to commute to work. Just the News is reporting that Gov. Kathy Hochul has ordered deployed 1,000 soldiers and state police officers.  They are to patrol the subway system and check the contents of bags – all because of major crime spiking in the system. "These brazen, heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated," she charged, citing a number of high-profile assaults. She said the goals will be to deter crime and protect people.The bag searches are intended to make sure weapons are not brought into the system............

Brilliant: Let’s haul the National Guard into the New York subwayMarch 7, 2024 by Pamela Garber - “Now, finally, something is being done” is the reiterated reaction from the thinkers on the left and, disappointingly, the thinkers on the right. Both sides have shouted about government overreach, and now everyone is nodding for the National Guard to police the New York City subways. But why not resume allowing the local police to do their job? Why not let judges do their jobs by ending bail reform? Why does local crime need to be outsourced to the National Guard when it had been handled effectively at the local level in years past? Would there not be enough officers available now? Sometimes, seeing things framed within an analogy clarifies the true essence of what is taking place. In this case, we need a three-pronged analogy — the National Guard, the local police, and the local government. The National Guard is like Amazon, the big savior who surpasses all competition. The local police are like small businesses, left out in the cold and replaced by Amazon. And the local government is like a parent with Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The Munchausen parent creates his child’s illness; fosters it; and, instead of plain parenting, gets the Amazonesque government to take control.......

Illegal Alien Repeat Offender Accused of Attacking Multiple Women Is Back on Streets of Dysfunctional NYC - I won't go into the "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" thing, but I will report that an illegal alien repeat offender is back on New York City streets after spending less than a year in jail for the latest in a series of arrests where he was accused of attacking female hospital workers dating back to 2019.  Simple solution: The guy should not only have been deported after he committed his first crime, but he also shouldn't have been allowed into the country in the first place. Neither one of those preemptive actions occurred, so let's continue.  On a recent episode of Fox & Friends First, co-host Todd Piro highlighted an example of how far NYC has fallen in taking violent crime seriously. Piro recalled the case of Edward Johnson, who has a history of assaulting women who work in hospitals: ......

Prominent Investor Cancels New York Plans 40 Years in the Making After Trump Ruling  -By Allison Anton February 22, 2024- New York might soon have more reasons than the potential trucker boycott to regret the recent multimillion-dollar fraud ruling against former President Donald Trump. Last week, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the leading GOP presidential candidate to pay $355 million in damages for supposedly using false and inflated values for his properties on financial statements. Fox Business reported Wednesday that the massive judgment against Trump is having serious consequences that the Empire State seemingly never foresaw............

Hochul Says New Yorkers ‘Need a Break’ While Giving Welfare to Illegals - John Binder New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) says New Yorkers “need a break” from illegal immigration as her administration opens welfare to border crossers and illegal aliens arriving in the sanctuary state.During an interview on MSNBC this week, Hochul said the arrival of nearly 200,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to New York since the spring of 2022 has “overwhelmed” and strained public resources, suggesting more arrivals ought to be shut out to give New Yorkers “a break.”..........

NY City Council Calls for Investigation into Mayor Adams’ $10K Debit Cards for Illegals - Warner Todd Huston - As the blowback continues over Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to give illegal border crossers in city shelters pre-paid debit cards, ostensibly to use to buy food, members of the city council have asked for an investigation into the scheme. Adams proposed his new policy early in February, and insisted the program that would allow illegals to feed themselves would save the city millions of dollars in often wasted food-service costs................

New York State Sending National Guard to NYC so Commuters ‘Feel Safe - The state of New York is sending the National Guard, State Police, and MTA cops into New York City subways, so commuters “feel safe” amid a leadership failure by the mayor that has devastated the city. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Wednesday that she would deploy state law enforcement to the Big Apple subway network, as well as “teams of mental health workers,” to “help commuters and visitors to the city feel safe,” according to the New York Times. The Times reports:..................

New York Doomed to Be Migrant Central -- Other Cities Take Note - Betsy McCaughey - Mayor Eric Adams' agreement, announced Friday, to limit the time migrants can stay in shelters at taxpayers' expense, is smoke and mirrors. It's designed to fool you into thinking he's solving a problem when he's actually caving to the migrant industrial complex.  Adams claims the agreement, with the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless, will allow the city to evict adult migrants from city-run shelters after 30 days, saving taxpayers money and limiting the need for more shelters. Not true.  The fine print says migrants have a shot at staying longer if they obtain a driver's license, follow shelter rules and show good behavior, or -- get this one -- apply for public benefits. And this is a "non-exhaustive" list of reasons making migrants eligible to stay longer........

Americans Are Leaving Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Chicago and Philadelphia - The Census Bureau this month released its estimates on the populations that each American county had as of July 1, 2023. In a release about this data, it included a table listing the 10 counties that had the largest one-year decline in population as of that date.Los Angeles County ranked first, as this writer reported for the Daily Caller News Foundation.  As of July 1, 2022, it had a population of 9,719,765 people. By July 1, 2023, that had dropped to 9,663,345. This one-year decline of 56,420 was approximately twice the decline that occurred in Kings County, New York, which ranked second. Kings County, which is the borough of Brooklyn, saw its population drop from 2,589,531 to 2,561,225 -- a decline of 28,306.......
