Gone are the days where ICE went in and removed the undocumented from American factories. Now DHS is going after companies to make sure they’re paying the undocumented a livable wage. President Joe Biden’s border security chief is promising to end the workplace enforcement of migration laws and to help illegal migrants get higher wages from their U.S. employers.
We will not tolerate unscrupulous employers who exploit unauthorized workers, conduct illegal activities, or impose unsafe working conditions … By adopting policies that focus on the most unscrupulous employers, we will protect workers as well as legitimate American businesses. The message is, exploitative employers should beware. Businesses that merely employ [illegal] immigrants not authorized to work but offer them fair wages and safe working conditions wouldn’t be a priority for immigration enforcement, he added.
No longer will we see Americans and documented workers getting these jobs, but the undocumented will keep the jobs, stay in this country and possibly get a raise.
Folks are getting all excited over Virginia and New Jersey governorship races. I’m not. Those positions will stay Democrat. May be close races, but no big deal if they remain Democrat. False hope for Republicans. It’s the local and house seats where the Republicans should be looking at.
Now Ohio, Michigan, and Nevada may be where the battle will be. In Nevada you have a Senator and a Governor who are vulnerable. In Ohio Moderate ( former Conservative ) Rob Portman is retiring and a bunch of nobodies with a lot of money are running on both sides. In Michigan the Governor’s seat will be a very important race.
I’ve decided to add a new category on this channel. Just my own thoughts. It will cover most categories but from a personal view. Everything is game except for Religion. You can make suggestions. Doesn’t have to be about politics, but don’t most topics seem to turn that way? So send me your ideas and if you would like to write an article, let me know. Today I would like to discuss children being used for their parents political views.
Some parents have no shame. Putting their children out there to push their political views. It really took off when the parents of Greta Thunberg put a 16 year old child telling us the world will end if we don’t listen to her. She turned out to be a joke. Sure she’s 18 or 19 and giving us the same old tired left wing theories but beside fanatics, is anyone listening?
Now we’re seeing children speaking out at school board meetings. 10-12 year olds telling us they want to learn the proper way to put on condom or make masks mandatory so they don’t die. Oh really?
Your thoughts are the children really thinking about this or are the parents gutless or ball less so they have the little ones put their views forward? What say you?

Like a clock even the governor of California sometimes gets it right. Newsom issued 138 offshore well permits. “Governor Newsom has issued 138 permits for wells located offshore,” according to Kyle Ferrar, Western program coordinator for the FracTracker Alliance. “This includes five new drilling permits and 133 permits to perform work on existing offshore wells.
Onshore Newsom has issued over 9,000 permits. Knowing California has enough oil on and off shore, the governor needs to double what he’s already issued.
But California has two loon groups trying to send California back to the stone age.
Consumer Watchdog and FracTracker Alliance are among a coalition of groups calling on Newsom to issue a mandatory 2,500-foot setback between oil drilling operations and communities. Up to one mile would be preferable based on the evidence, they argue.
The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in a terse two-page ruling granting an appeal by the state of Texas, had been expected by many abortion providers. While at least six clinics in Texas had begun conducting abortions beyond the limits of the new law this week, most of the state’s roughly two dozen providers had opted not to take that step as the case moved through the courts.
The law, which bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, went into effect at the start of September. Since then, it has altered the landscape for abortions in the nation’s second-most-populous state because of its unique structure, which bars state officials from enforcing its provisions, leaving that instead to private citizens.

Tesla is moving their corporate offices to Austin Texas. Their plants in California and Nevada will grow if all things work out. Let’s see if their loon governors intervene and add more taxes. This from NBC.
Tesla is not the first company to its headquarters out of California to Texas. Oracle and Hewlett Packard are among the tech giants who decided to make that move last year, for example.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – AUGUST 18: Joe Biden pauses as he delivers remarks on the COVID-19 response and the vaccination program in the East Room of the White House on August 18, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)
Fact Check.org a liberal fact checker says that Trump inherited almost 600 billion from Obama. And they say that 2.7 trillion were the tax cuts. That means over 3 trillion went to cover the COVID Pandemic. Pandemic spending that almost every single Democrat voted for.
When Obama added almost 10 trillion, there was no outcry from the left. Why was that? The deficit for the first half of the budget year, from October through March, was up from $743.5 billion in the year-ago period, to 1.7 trillion this year the Treasury Department said in April.
The reason Biden uses this bizarre virtual set for televised meetings—and not an actual room like East Room, Cabinet, Oval, Roosevelt, Sit Room, etc.—is because it allows him to read a script directly from a face-on monitor (& w/out teleprompter glass that can be seen on camera). https://t.co/Uc4Ly9kL7T
In addition to Biden, Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen have been photographed using the set alongside the president for events there.

So Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), tries to do something good and what happens? It’s rejected cause it condemns hatred from the left. This from Axios.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) withheld support for a joint statement condemning last weekend’s protests against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) because it also wouldn’t include a rebuke of her political views, Axios’ Alayna Treene has learned.
Why it matters: The move is emblematic of the hostility between the progressive and moderate members, who have been sparring over the cost and scope of President Biden’s agenda. Sanders wanted the statement to urge Sinema to drop her opposition to prescription drug reform, as well as Biden’s $3.5 trillion social safety net expansion.
Driving the news: An email exchange between Senate Democratic leadership aides, obtained by Axios, reveals Sanders withheld his name from a joint statement declaring protesters who followed Sinema into a bathroom — and filmed her while using the restroom — as “plainly inappropriate and unacceptable.”
Sanders’ communications director Mike Casca asked that the statement be edited to include the preface, “While we hope Senator Sinema will change her position on prescription drug reform and support a major [budget] reconciliation bill, …”
An aide to Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who organized the statement, said Booker would not accept the edits.
Casca later replied: “Sanders will not be signing, so please cut ‘Senate Democratic Leadership Team’ from headline.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.) all signed onto the statement in addition to Booker.
Excerpts of the leaked exchange are shown below. Axios has confirmed the contents of the full exchange with other Senate offices.
State of play: The statement has not been published. It’s currently unclear whether it will run.
Between the lines: The move comes as those in Sinema’s orbit have privately vented frustration that her fellow Democratic senators and the White House haven’t more forcefully spoken out.
On Monday, Biden told reporters he didn’t think the protesters’ tactics were “appropriate,” then added, “but it happens to everybody.”
The president went on to say, “The only people it doesn’t happen to are people who have Secret Service standing around them. So, it’s part of the process.”

Extremist hate group forces Senator to lock herself in the bathroom. A noted group of leftists called LUCHA attempted to force a sitting United States Senator to go along with their terrorist views.
In the video posted by LUCHA Arizona, a group of students is seen attempting to stop Sinema outside her classroom at Arizona State University to ask her questions about the Build Back Better Agenda on Sunday morning. The group of students then follows Sinema into the bathroom. One student, Blanca, is seen talking to Sinema about the SB1070 law, which is Arizona’s immigration law. Every state should adopt similar laws.
🔴BREAKING: Blanca, an AZ immigrant youth confronts @SenatorSinema inside her classroom, where she teaches @ ASU. "in 2010 both my grandparents got deported bc of SB1070...my grandfather passed away 2 wks ago & I wasn't able to go to Mexico bc there is no pathway to citizenship." pic.twitter.com/JDZYY2fOD2
Your Grandparents got deported cause they broke the law. And if the person who was harassing the Senator is undocumented, she should also be deported.
We wouldn't have to resort to confronting @senatorsinema around Phx if she took meetings with the communities that elected her. She's been completely inaccessible. We're sick of the political games, stop playing with our lives. “Build back better, back the bill!" pic.twitter.com/3OA5t6e6Fl
Now we’re seeing children speaking out at school board meetings. 10-12 year olds telling us they want to learn the proper way to put on condom or make masks mandatory so they don’t die. Oh really?
See how that works?
