In a fresh twist on the Biden administration’s decision to house illegal immigrants at hotel facilities, crunching the numbers on the $86.9 million that is set to be spent on 1,239 beds shows that the cost to U.S. taxpayers will be nearly $72,000 per border-crosser housed.

“That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history,” wrote Andrew Arthur, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies, a conservative policy research nonprofit.

I think I need an all expenses paid vacation. 

They both agree that the new administration totally mishandled border control and immigration processing. The local police, the border patrol, ICE, state police, and so on, are all on the record with stories that CNN says are deliberately being whitewashed, even being censored; the media is prohibited any access.

What you don't know can't trigger you, eh?Perhaps that was Trump's mistake. He didn't prohibit media access. (Although he was accused of it.)Trump had the right idea, and it was systematically being implemented. There was order at the border.Now there is disorder and chaos.There is double the illegal crossings and the flood is rising, caravans being organized, plans to locate children into schools that are woefully ill-prepared to take them on without a big hit on the education of students who are citizens and the 

Daily Double!

Let's make it a true Daily Double.

Answer: 

"Too soon, too late, no standing, and/or moot."

Uh, In the 2020 presidential election, what were the Court's rulings on election improprieties in lieu of actual reviews of the evidence?

You are precisely correct!

Ding, ding, ka-ching!

All great deeds were performed by imperfect people.

We never would have been able to abolish slavery if the ones responsible for it being outlawed had to be perfect.

The mindless tearing down of statues of our forefathers are shameful acts done by those without shame, who wear their lack of shame as a badge of honor.

Judge not lest ye be judged by the measure that ye judge

And shut down the app's internet connection when not in use?

It's as if the designers believe the entire computer is their oyster and disregard how much of the computer's resources it hogs. I really don't care for my computer to be caching content I'll never look at, and when I DO want it, I'll ask for it. 

Chromebook seems to build that in by design. It used to be that <esc> would stop a browser in its tracks immediately - no "designer approved" exceptions. 

I had to learn to shut down firefox or chrome if I intend to leave the computer running, otherwise it's likely to be frozen when I return.

Taskmgr invariably identifies a browser as the villain.

Can't comment on Edge. After I use it, I shut it down immediately, after seeing the resources used by other MS products, such as Teams. 

MS Teams, Outlook - always at or near the top of the list.

Biden defends China for putting Uighur Muslims into concentration camps, with everything that implies, including genocide because of "cultural norms".

How would he have responded to naht-see Germany?

Is this where the mindless embrace of multi-culturalism has brought us?

Why does "China United" (by way of forced compliance and indoctrination) get a free pass, but "America First" vilified as racist?

Put your critical thinking cap on, but please leave "critical race theory" in the dumpster as you do.

To make a video and make sure that it was "newsworthy". 

Just guessing, but I imagine it was CNN who first labeled the storming of the Capitol "insurrection". Guess who just resigned as president of CNN? Cross reference that name with "The Apprentice".

Absolutely Nothing. Except try to get the goods on the ONE man they couldn't get the goods on and could not be bought?

And maybe get us into yet another war.

And flush us down the spiraling waters of hyper-inflation.

With no "hedge" to prop us up.

One week in office. 40 executive orders.

A true patriot takes civic duty and responsibility seriously.

A patriot won't weasel out of jury duty. 

A patriot takes voting seriously, as an almost sacred obligation and makes time to vote in person. Use of an absentee ballot are for those who are absent, or have other valid reasons for not voting in person.

A patriot will respect the flag to which he has pledged allegiance.

A patriot may not respect one who disrespects the flag, but will lay down his life defending the disrespectful's rights to be disrespectful.

"See something, say something"

A patriot will sometimes practice civil disobedience, but recognizes that there are limits to the behavior that will be tolerated under the guise of civil disobedience .

A patriot will salute our armed forces during a parade. 

A patriot will be respectful and even offer up gratitude for their service during chance encounters.

A patriot will proudly display the flag on national holidays.

Identical to T's but with all the added bureaucratic bloat that T failed to include.

Biden Backs Transgender Agenda in Sports, Bathrooms by executive order. 

Sheesh. Oh brave New World Order that has such foolishness masquerading as progressive "wokeness".

Son Tipped Off FBI about His Father Who Is Charged In Capital Riot:

Boris, your plan is coming to fruition! Who would have ever thought that this introduction of political correctness, which held so many of our comrades at bay and in fear of being denounced by their children, (their own children!), for so long would find such fertile ground! See how the sheeple scramble over one another to demonstrate how politically correct they are!

Natasha, shhhhh, we don't want them to look too closely, just continue your subtle, and not so subtle, tweaks as you introduce the new politically correct notion of the day, yes? I call my new inception "cancel-culture". The sheeple will never know what hit them!

Boris, you clever devil!

Natasha, the introduction of Covid was a brilliant ploy to provide cover as we implement "The Great Reset".

Such good little apparatchiks. Shame the fate that will soon befall them as our glorious Party of the People takes power. How does Guantanamo Gulag sound for those who falter in their desperation to out-politically correct their comrades?

Boris, you're ingenious! But may I suggest "Critical Race Theory Re-education Camp? Gulag may be a hard sell to their Swamp Shepherds.

Natasha, you prove your worth to the State once again.

Thank you, darlink.

1968, Democrat National Convention Chicago - friends invited me to join the fun in Grant Park. I declined. Glad I didn't participate in the riot.

Fast forward to 1970; universities across the nation went on strike to protest the Kent State deaths of 4 students by the National Guard. 

Northwestern University in Evanston went on strike. So did my high school. (ETHS). Great fun, and a learning experience. 

We "marched" to the University. The college kids had Sheridan Road blockaded. Some of us helped build up the road block. Others gathered wood and built a bonfire in the road 

I went down an alley where some kids were stealing a ladder for the bonfire, and I saw some cops going in to arrest them.

I ran back to the road and shouted, "Some brothers are getting busted!" and pointed the way. About 30 people pealed off down the alley towards the cops, throwing bottles and rocks.

Yes, I learned a BIG lesson that day. People at protests are easily incited to do things when feeling safe within a crowd. "Mob mentality"

Now, to the point.

The people protesting George Floyd's murder have/had a right to be heard and people need to listen.

But it only takes a few instigators to turn a peaceful protest ugly.

The lesson I learned that day had a profound impact on my politics, but I didn't realize that then.

John Lennon wrote the immortal words to "Revolution"

"...but if you want money for people with minds that hate,

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait."

... a few windows at the Capitol? 

Gotta get down to it

Soldiers are gunning us down

Should have been done long ago.

What if you knew her

And found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?

Tin soldiers and Biden's coming,

We're finally on our own...
