What the Media Don’t Tell You About Biden’s Illegal Immigration Crisis | Larry Elder

3 Jul 2021 Michael A

Once upon a time, President Joe Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border crisis—what the Biden administration is calling a “challenge.” Back during the Democratic presidential debates, Biden said he would make sure a surge would happen at the border. As of today, Border Patrol has intercepted nearly 180,000 people trying to illegally cross the border, not to mention the many others who got away. Meanwhile, the mayor of Del Rio, Texas, is pleading with the Biden administration to put a halt to releasing immigrants in their city, saying they don’t have the resources to house and accommodate migrants. In this episode, Larry suggests that this crisis would have ended yesterday if illegal aliens-turned-citizens-turned-voters pulled the lever overwhelmingly for Republicans.

In Not-So-Brilliant Move, San Francisco Spends Over $60,000 Per Homeless Tent – Epoch Times

3 Jul 2021 Michael A

San Francisco supervisors are all shook up! They just learned that they are spending about $61,000 per year to put a tent over a homeless person’s head, and they are not going to be reimbursed by the federal government (FEMA) for their foolish experiment because the tent encampments are considered group shelters. …Also, it must be remembered that in addition to this tent program, the city is conducting its homeless hotel program, which is currently sheltering over 2,000 more homeless people in hotels and motels throughout the city. That program is costing about $21 million a month and is eligible for federal funding from FEMA. Apparently that program is viewed as successful by its originators, as they don’t mind spending other people’s money (FEMA’s) as much as they do local resources. …I have made an effort to listen to many of the residents of these encampments, and their opinions are indeed varied. Many view them as a home away from home, a place to hang out without any responsibilities or personal investment, and thus with little or no incentive to better their lot. I do not think the concept of these villages being temporary in nature has been made clear to some of the inhabitants I have talked with.

Inflation and Investments: How Inflation Impacts Properties, Bonds, Stocks, and Precious Metals – Epoch Times

3 Jul 2021 Michael A

…Before making financial decisions, it can be helpful to understand the relationship between inflation and different types of investments. Consider the following ways that inflation can impact properties, bonds, stocks, and precious metals as you evaluate your portfolio and its performance. …“Currently, a portfolio of just Treasury bonds and cash does not provide the required return to compensate for inflation,” Saunders says. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly…. “Investors may be quick to buy TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) if they fear inflation is going to increase,” Saunders says. As the name suggests, these investment vehicles are adjusted for inflation. That said,… The S&P 500, which began in 1920s, has averaged around a 10 percent return. “Since the average U.S. inflation rate is around 2.25 percent, you can see…. “If you’re looking to outpace inflation rates, it could be worth investing a portion of your savings in precious metals like gold or silver,”

Replacing God: The CCP’s Century-Long War Against Faith: Epoch Times

2 Jul 2021 Michael A

Belief in a higher power is anathema to the atheist Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that for 100 years has sought to command absolute loyalty and control over its members and the Chinese people. “They just cannot handle an allegiance other than to the state,” Sam Brownback, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, told The Epoch Times. As a result, successive Party leaders have launched campaign after campaign to crush and control people of faith in China. Mao Zedong, the first CCP leader, who oversaw one of the most thorough campaigns to dismantle Chinese religious life, compared religion to “poison” in a conversation with Tibet’s exiled leader, the Dalai Lama. In his autobiography, the Dalai Lama recalls Mao telling him in 1954 that religion “undermines the race” and “retards the progress of the country.”

Pennsylvania Democrats to Propose Bullet Tax and Encoded Rounds to Track Ammo Owners: Epoch Times

2 Jul 2021 Michael A

A 5 cent per bullet tax will be proposed in Pennsylvania as part of legislation to be brought forth by two state House Democrats, Rep. Manny Guzman and Rep. Stephen Kinsey. The tax would fund a state police database of ammunition sold in Pennsylvania. The planned legislation would require ammunition manufacturers to encode ammunition provided for retail sale in Pennsylvania, and to provide ammunition serial numbers to the Pennsylvania State Police for the ammunition database. The plan was revealed in a joint memo to the state legislature by Guzman and Kinsey.“Since 2015, only 21% of the nearly 8,500 shootings that Philadelphia has endured have resulted in an arrest or conviction,” the memo said. “Far too often, all that is left for the police to find is a victim and a bullet. By making the bullet a more useable piece of evidence….

Trump Visits US–Mexico Border, Claims Democrats Are Running a ‘Disinformation Campaign’ – Epoch Times

1 Jul 2021 Michael A

Former President Donald Trump on June 30 visited the U.S.–Mexico border for the first time since leaving office and accused Democrats of running a “disinformation campaign” around their border policies. …“They’re getting killed by the border, so now they’re saying, ‘Oh, we’ve got a problem, so let’s blame the sheriffs, let’s blame the governors, let’s blame everybody else but them,” Trump said, describing Democrats’ messaging of late as a “disinformation campaign.” …Since January, Biden has issued dozens of executive orders and memos that rescinded a number of Trump-era policies, while describing them as wasteful, ineffective, and unhumanitarian. …“The real question is, do [Democratic officals] really want open borders, or are they incompetent?” Trump said during the event. Trump had made the construction of a border wall a key campaign promise in 2016. “There’s only two things: you’re either incompetent or for some reason you have a screw loose and you want to have open borders.”
