George Rebane
‘Humanitarian crises’ in ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions set up by progressives across the land. Sending a few scores of illegal aliens from overcrowded border towns to sanctuary cities and exclusive enclaves is trumpeted as a “humanitarian crisis” by the Left and their lamestream media. To do that is a “cruel, inhumane way to treat people” who have been enticed by the Biden administration to travel thousands of dangerous miles, paying cartels and coyotes their life savings to chance getting across our border without being raped, human trafficked, or killed in the process. None of what the Democrats are putting the poor of the world through to get them illegally into America is seen by progressives as the greater humanitarian crisis compared to the final plane ride or comfortable bus trip to a community that advertises itself as a welcoming sanctuary.
What’s more galling is that so-called conservative commentators are unable to compare and contrast all this to their audiences. They are joined by the eternally dumbfounded Republicans in ignoring the ongoing travesty, not even being able to point out how Democrats ignore the secreted midnight planes rides they sponsor to transport unannounced illegals to various cities in Republican governed states. And all this is done to the continuously headlined Big Lie from the White House that “our border remains secure” and the problem is our “broken immigration system” which was caused by then President Trump.
And the biggest tragedy, as we approach the election, is that half the electorate that is eternally ignorant and/or consumes only lamestream outlets has no idea that all this is going on pursuant to a purposed and dedicated Democrat policy which is part and parcel of their ongoing successful program to fundamentally transform America. The eternally timid and out-to-lunch Republicans have given us a one-party country that now openly operates under a dominant neo-Marxist ideology. This means that the other half of the country has no effective representation in national politics and policies. The Republicans were the only game in town to stop the march of collectivism over the last half century, and today they have demonstrably failed to deliver.
[17sep22 update] National Conservatism – we encountered news of the new direction in America’s conservative circles in the last Scattershots (here). Now we get the announcement that the venerable Heritage Foundation has announced this ideological tweak in its socio-political philosophy (here). I find nothing outrageous in this change, and have long encourage a more robust use of limited government resources by the Right to direct and implement socio-economic policies in our republic – and mainly for the Republicans to get off their collective ass and start making themselves heard on our behalf, especially in the face of the Left’s now desperate campaign of wall-to-wall lying bordering on ‘save democracy from semi-fascist, white supremacist, domestic terrorists’.
According to Heritage, the new direction will engage in “promoting a more restrained approach to foreign policy and a more active government role in the regulation of big tech, while moving away from the conventional wisdom that conservatives shouldn’t use government power to advance their interests.” We’ll see how the rest of the Republican leadership adopts and implements this change. And there will be more to say on all this.

Well Doc, I cannot believe there are more folks out there that believe men can get pregnant than those who believe in Bigfoot.
While 7,000 illegal immigrants pass through small poor Texas border towns each and every day……the limousine liberals still aren’t happy.

Dr Rebane. You have been sounding rather pessimistic since that long road trip back home. Well, Ann Counter said it’s over, Goodbye America, when Trump did not send troops to the border with all the aircraft we have circling overhead. Conveys of troops. Didn’t happen. It’s over. We lost CA and the nation forever. Even Mark Levine took awhile to over losing the Virginia Statehouse. But, not no more.
Yes, the Republicans have always folded like a cheap suit (for the fiftieth time). That is why the Party is now in a transitional period. Anyway, “They are many we are few. They are big, we are small. They are powerful, we are weak,” is the biggest lie of them all. Not to discount your reasoned and seasoned pessimism. We face a formidable enemy of our Republic.
BIDEN DEMANDS WHITE SUPREMACY
“The demand for white supremacy” coming from FBI brass “vastly outstrips the supply of white supremacy,” one agent told the Washington Times. “We have more people assigned to investigate white supremacists than we can actually find.”

Yep, you are now under the threat of the FBI knocking on your door if you question a judge’s decision or talk about Delaware’s mail in ballot provisions (just got tossed by Delaware’s Supreme Court)…or how to hunt wild boar and dig a hole in a forest fire to survive or what to stock up on survive in a disaster or if civil order collapses…or have a Lets Go Brandon flag flying on the flagpole under Old Glory and under a POW/MIA flag. That would do it. Any IF you donated to Trump….oh boy, you are the enemy now. That have subpoenaed all Trump’s donation records….for the Jan 6 Committee.
Jordan: FBI won't answer allegation vet-led preparedness group listed as domestic violent extremists
The group, American Contingency, was founded by former Green Beret Mike Glover.
“Jordan says some violent extremists might identify with how the group, American Contingency, is cited in a leaked FBI guide. Another issue for the Ohio lawmaker, over which others have already been raising concerns, is the FBI saying such symbols as the "Betsy Ross Flag" and "2A," short for the Second Amendment, are associated with violent extremism.
The group's name did not appear in a search Thursday morning of the FBI's Domestic Terror Watch list.
Former Green Beret Mike Glover, who founded the group in July 2020, has denied the FBI's accusations of terrorism and spoken about his organization's charity work during natural disasters.
>>>>>]The same month American Contingency was founded, the FBI concluded that the group "desires to assist Americans in preparing themselves for catastrophic events and not to overthrow the United States Government," Jordan quoted an FBI report.”

Barry - "...is a sprint to the finish line - winner take all."
Uh, not at all sure how that works.
The totalitarians don't have to 'race' anywhere. They just exist and do their thing. Calmly and slowly, they took over the educational system and then waited for the crops to bear fruit. Now their zombies are running most of the govt and they have moved into the sciences and medical fields. They run the boardrooms and the classrooms. They have turned the arms of govt into Dem goon squads. Eventually they will take the Supreme Court and then there will be 'competition' but it won't be a race. It will be something terrible.

Biden Administration Claims It Has Taken ‘Unprecedented Action’ to Secure Border????
I’ll say. The Biden Administration has taken unprecedented action in our history to…to…to make sure there is no impediment to thousands of illegals aliens to enter without permission. To those who claim that their grandparents came in through Ellis Island as one of my grandfathers did, I would say, “ Damn straight, they came here legally.”
No wonder the Dems hate law as well as order.
Did you hear we caught a convinced murdered from Nicaragua who has been deported twice after his murder conviction in 1997. Wonder what he would have contributed to our great nation? Nothing. Absolutely nothing but more crime, more victims, and more being put up in a fancy hotel at taxpayers expense.
Speaking of fancy hotels, look what our shithole State is scheming up next. Unbelievable. The City Council rejected the idea, so now it goes on the ballot.

DonB 1253pm - The leadership of leftwing political movements have always, always counted on the utter ignorance AND also the stupidity of those in the masses whom they hope to attract into their constituencies. This has been a constant in all the lands the Left has sought to rule since the 1789 French Revolution. America has not escaped this siren song sung today by Democrats to the dimwitted among our nation's voters.

Is it just me or did others notice Gov. Newsom wearing a long sleeve fleece while exhorting Californians to reduce power consumption, unplug computers, turn the AC up to 78 degrees (it not higher) and not use appliances or plug in EVs during peak hours of demand. Looks to me that Governor Newsom was the only one in CA cold enough to be wearing a long sleeve fleece jacket during our September heat wave. What a putz.

https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/20/the-day-democrats-felt-personally-attacked-by-having-to-care-for-illegal-immigrants/
As a side note, besides Martha’s Vineyard being a summer playground for billionaires, James Taylor is one of its noted residents. He is so vain he probably thinks this comment is about him.
Side note #2: With the much fewer full time residents on Martha’s Vineyard (third largest island on the East Coast covering about 96 sq. miles or 55,000 acres) than the summertime jet setters, the full time residents/service workers proclaimed in a defensive posture that they do not have the means to care for the illegals ad the average income of those full time residents (workers) is $70,000/year….to which a Hispanic Mayor of a border town declared the average income in his area is $30,000/year and they care for thousands passing through…without the means to do so.

Glad you survived the one day Humanitarian Crisis. The next plane carrying illegal aliens flight path and itinerary were posted on-line yesterday. The plane is going to somewhere in Delaware near some beach house.
No worries, my fine fellow. Joe Biden will be safe. He had a good fence surrounding his beach property installed paid for by us taxpayers at the direction of our Homeland Security chief….so he knows walls work.

PS to Whole Foods @ this morn.
Just kidding about the flight of immigrants to Biden’s beach house. The internet rumors abounded and DeSantis played his cards close to the vest and just when it reached its pitch, he said no, no flights to the Delaware White House by the sea. That dude is awesome. Played them like fiddle. Now the R’s have filed a FOIA to see more info of those 70 flights of illegals from New York to Forth Lauderdale. And all those AMTRAK trains going all over the USA and….let’s take a look at what the hair sniffer has been up to.
The law states clearly that illegals who come in contact with the Border Patrol SHALL BE DETAINED until the hearing.
As far as women go, Nancy will resign from Congress next year. Do you really believe she will go from third in line from the Presidency to just a back seater who just is one vote amidst 440? And I dream of the day when the FBI raids Sally Yeats’s home and make her lay down on the floor….with the Frog Team there in case she tries to escape by jumping into her pool.

The topic of National Conservatism has been floated twice recently. Haven’t popped the hood and looked at the engine yet. With that disclaimer aside, saw a article header last week (can’t find it and didn’t read article) that went something like, ‘Dems Do Not Know How To Handle Republican Governors Welding Power.’ A tenet of National Conservatism is more legally welding power that they are invested with by the State Constitution than the usual shying away from it. De Santis came to mind.
