When my family moved back to the United States from East Africa in the mid-1980s, one might have thought it was a peak time of compassion for people suffering in faraway places. A glittering group of music superstars had recorded “We Are the World,” a smash hit charity single to raise money and awareness for the victims of a brutal famine that had gripped my mother’s home country, Ethiopia.
But when I told my new grade school classmates of my origins, I was met with cruel taunts. I was awfully fat for an Ethiopian, one said with a snigger. Must be nice to be able to have access to so much food, another joked. At the time, this was puzzling and upsetting — I had moved from Kenya, not Ethiopia, to my father’s home state, Minnesota. But the facts didn’t matter. These unkind remarks did the job the bullies hoped they would: They made me feel like an alien, an unwelcome stranger.
We live in even crueler times now, with humanitarian catastrophes unfolding on several continents, but the response of the wealthy world has been to demand tighter borders and higher fences. There is no blockbuster charity single raising money for starving refugees from the civil war raging in Sudan. And now, the cruel taunts come not just from schoolyard bullies and cranks on the political fringes, but from the lips of a man who stood on the presidential debate stage on Tuesday, a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.

So then, we are not supposed to be upset about what the Haitian aliens are doing in America. Instead we are supposed to be upset that Trump would have the audacity to say anything about it.
OK then......
Ferris Bueller said it best....”A. You can never go too far!”
When a bunch of third world ferals loot the NYT offices one day, I will LOL until my sides hurt.
“Yawn”. More virtue signaling from “progressives” who have zero moral authority because they have no morals. Next!
Notice how they use the term “pets”, not cats and dogs. Also note thatcyge authoress had no interest in apologizing fir barbaric and criminal behavior committed by any if these groups, nor any hint that a country has a duty to maintain some control over her borders, and no hint at an obligation to the country who tool her decades ago, and allowed her to flourish.
OH NOES Trump told the TRUTH can’t have that..gee if these commies love migrants so much, how many are they going to invite into THEIR homes..heck at Martha’s Vineyard they couldn’t get rid of them fast enough, it was like “Get the hell outta here before the price of our mega mansions start dropping” they gave these Haitians “Permanent protective status” how about giving US, the American citizen, protective status against these illegals how about them apples
The only good use for the NYTs and its articles is to line the bottom of a bird cage of a bird with diarrhea.

Suck it up, witch.
The DNC ‘media is freaking out
This isn’t going away
Stories are popping up from all over the country about what these people are doing to dogs, pets, ducks..
This is the line you don’t cross or turn a blind eye
Even the most liberals know you don’t mess with their pets!
“with humanitarian catastrophes unfolding on several continents”
Entirely due to themselves.
And the solution is always “we have to move to where you are so we can destroy your country like we did ours”
Republics die in stupidity. The most credentialed today are becoming the most stupid, and I say that with my bag of credentials dragging behind me. I am ashamed that I used to try to think well of these people.
Exactly my thought .
line the bottom of a bird cage
My African Grey hates newspapers
Here she is….
We are very close to everyone under 30 having absolutely no clue what a NYT actually is. There is now a marketplace of ideas if you know where to look. If it can’t be shut down in this election, it will be out of control and a force against DC’s press stenographers.
If you do a search online, all the Major Media is racing to try and debunk the Cat and Geese eating! Why are they so desperate to debunk? IT MUST BE TRUE! Meanwhile on X, its exploding with memes! And Video!
You know the ol’ saying…
Timing is everything.
