Mirror Lake, Mt. Hood National Forest, OregonVenezuelan police raid home of legislator who campaigned for Maduro’s opponent
Translated excerpt with translator’s comments:
enezuelan Assembly Deputy Carlos Lozano denounced the raid on his residence in Carabobo state shortly after giving an interview to Martí Noticias.
Venezuelan Deputy Carlos Lozano, who gave an interview to Martí Noticias this Saturday, shortly after denounced the raid on his residence in Valencia, Carabobo state.
“They are raiding my residence at this moment, this fight is for the people of Carabobo, don’t let them scare you, vote without fear,” he managed to say before being arrested.
A video shared on social media shows a large deployment of uniformed officers entering the outskirts of the legislator’s home.
Lozano plays a crucial role in these elections as he has been in charge of organizing the campaign for opposition leader María Corina Machado in the western part of the country.
At the time of publishing this note, the whereabouts of the opposition member are unknown, and the area where he was arrested remains cordoned off by agents.
Nicolás Maduro, after 11 years in power, faces opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, who represents the united opposition led by María Corina Machado.
The opposition party Voluntad Popular denounced to the international community, particularly the electoral observers in the country, “the continuation of the repressive and terror policies against the activists of the country’s democratic cause.”
“We demand the immediate cessation of persecution. Doing politics is NOT a crime,” wrote the political group.
Free and fair election. Yeah. Sure. A Deputy to Venezuela’s assembly who dared to give an interview to Marti Noticias got a quick response from newly-“elected” Maduro’s goons. For daring to call on Venezuelans to vote against Maduro, his house was raided. And the election results had yet to be announced. Does this tell you something about the election? They didn’t even wait until the votes had been “counted” . . . classic Castro playbook maneuver . . .

Put in Biden/Obama/Harris democrats in US and the story would be accurate for the U.S. also. They all are viciously stupid and use the same playbook regardless of country.
Mirror Lake, Mt. Hood National Forest, OregonThese are communists who rule at the point of a gun,always have. Change will only happen with a lot of men with weapons,otherwise forget it.
Venezuela and the US have a lot in common these days. The vote charts and persecution of opponents say everything that needs to be said.
The wealthy sanctuary state that’s going broke under its $1.8 trillion migrant ‘time bomb’
Migrants will cost Massachusetts taxpayers $1.8 trillion over the next two years

It’s one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments.
But the writing is on the wall for Massachusetts, says an alarming new study.
The 50,000 non-legal migrants who’ve entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services.
Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies, says the state is destined for bankruptcy.
That’s because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years.
Even though some non-legal migrants will work and pay taxes, this revenue will not come close to the cost of social services for all 355,000 of them, says Vaughan.
‘These migrants represent a looming fiscal disaster for taxpayers in Massachusetts,’ Vaughan told the Mail.
‘Even if they are working, they are not equipped with skills and education to avoid being a drain on public coffers.’
.....They were at first greeted with open arms by a Blue state that affords ‘sanctuary’ protections to migrants.

Vaughan’s report also documents the outrages committed by law-breaking migrants in Massachusetts.
They include a cocaine-smuggling Dominican, a Russian fraudster, and a Guatemalan man who was arrested for child rape.
But the most shocking case involves Haitian migrant Cory Alvarez, 26, who is behind bars fighting charges that he raped a disabled teen girl at his shelter in the Comfort Inn in Rockland.
.....Over the next two years, the combined cost of food stamps, schooling, health care, and public safety could reach a jaw-dropping $1.8 trillion, says Vaughan.
That ‘fiscal time bomb’ is nearly three times the state’s entire economy, which was $615 billion last year.
Gov. Healey, a Democrat, in January joined eight counterparts from other migrant-hit states, asked the White House and Congress for action at the border and billions of extra dollars to keep services running.
But, according to Vaughan, even an emergency grant won’t solve Massachusetts’ spending woes over the coming years.
Instead, state lawmakers need to cut welfare payouts to migrants and get tough with employers who hire those without papers, she said.
