Tongue Got Your Cat?
SteynonLine ^ | September 10, 2024 | Mark Steyn

~That bollocks about America being "a nation of immigrants" is an early example of what we now call "virtue-signalling" - and one the US has, alas, exported to other countries where it has even less application. A lot of it derives from that torch-bearing lady in the harbour. As I said at the Munk Debate in 2016, the French gave the Americans a great Statue of Liberty, and the Americans stapled a truly lousy poem to it and turned it into a Statue of Immigration:

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to be human traffickers, jihadists, Fentanyl dealers, gang rapists, unlicensed drivers, mail-in voters, Covid fraudsters, decapitators of American ducks...

Re that last one, J D Vance and others are getting some pushback for claiming that, in Springfield, Ohio, Haitian "refugees" are eating their neighbours' domestic pets. Naysayers insist that no cats were harmed in the making of this "far right" "fake news" story. On the other hand, from Springfield's Channel 6 News:

Woman arrested for allegedly killing cat, eating it in front of neighbors

That would be Allexis Telia Ferrell. On the other other hand, The Daily Dot responds, ah, yes, cat-eating may be happening in Ohio, but relax, it's not by "recent" immigrants:

Prominent conservatives are blaming recent immigration from Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat.

The only problem? The woman has lived in America for the past six years.

If the Dems can have dead people & illegals vote for them, then certainly WE should have our cats vote. 10 for Trump in this household. ;-)

America was not founded by immigrants and colonists were not immigrants, although the few British protestant people like us and joining us during the first half century after our founding were immigrants, after the great nation was created and had defeated Britain twice, defeated countless Indians and the Barbary pirates and held off the European empires, during the 1840s/50s when the flood started and the diversity started is when immigration became a thing, and started changing us into a more European people with socialism, unionism, Catholicism, and city machine corruption, and pushes for more of those immigrants until the core Americans regained some control in the early 1900s, and then lost it again when JFK’s immigration agenda won in 1960, leading to the 1965 bill.

"Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat."

Well, It's kind of discussing and all but, I don't think you should get arrested for eating a cat....unless it's someone else's cat.

I think you should be arrested and possibly shot for invading another country.!

Lefties are trying to refute the entire immigration disaster by saying: “The eating cats is a LIE!”

Wow, does that sum it up! And it is nice to read a piece from Mark that harkens back to the witty, sarcastic Steyn that we all came to know and love.

And it is impossible to believe that the dropping of 20,000 Haitian immigrants on a town with a population of 58,000 is just a coincidence. This HAS to be by design and what a horrifying design is that!!!

You betcha

I’d be checking the voter registration data daily, if I lived there.

I miss Marks voice, almost as much as that of Rush. Walter Williams added, the EIB had 4 Hall of Fame voices, and Snerdley too.
