After four years of the Biden/Harris administration‘s feeble foreign policy, the redefining of the United States’ redlines should begin in our own backyard: Latin America and the Caribbean. After all, the value of renovating one's house is limited if the neighborhood is in shambles. To create a healthy neighborhood, it helps if neighbors share similar values, such as democracy, fair elections, and civil liberties. Fortunately, many of America's neighboring nations do. But there is one country whose owner is ruining the neighborhood, even though its people do value those ideals: Venezuela. Nicolas Maduro's stranglehold on his country has been a...

There was an active shooter in Edmonton's City Hall this week, and you probably haven't heard about it. And gee, I wonder why... Maybe it's because this shooter wasn't "MAGA" enough. Maybe it's because this was a terror attack carried out by a Muslim. AND PERHAPS, it's because he clearly cites the "genocide in Gaza," inflation, and the "man-made immigration crisis" as the reason for his attack.

Haitian migrants are still in the news, in spite of a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Millions of Americans are in disbelief that these Caribbean migrants are taking over Middle American towns. The Trump campaign is wisely focusing on this issue to highlight the disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration. But some naysayers are emerging who say nothing can be done about this issue. Liberals love to point out that most of the Haitians are here legally. That’s made some conservatives feel the problem is unfixable and that the issue has turned into a toxic matter. Those blackpillers...

Former President Donald Trump has announced a new proposal aimed at restricting illegal immigrants from accessing federal housing subsidies if he is re-elected in 2024. Speaking at a recent rally, Trump outlined his plan to prevent undocumented immigrants from renting government-subsidized apartments or receiving mortgages. His proposal seeks to tighten regulations, requiring housing providers to verify the legal status of renters as a condition for receiving federal assistance. During the rally, Trump stated, "When I return to the White House, we will require all companies receiving federal housing subsidies to verify citizenship or legal residency." His remarks come as part...

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small town of roughly 4,200 residents, has found itself at the heart of an immigration crisis. Over the past two years, the migrant population has surged by a staggering 2,000%, primarily due to an influx of Haitian immigrants. This massive growth is linked to the Biden administration's expanded Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allowed migrants from countries like Haiti to seek refuge in the United States. While intended to provide safety for those fleeing dire circumstances, this policy has placed an immense strain on local resources. The once quiet, blue-collar town is now grappling with a...

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...

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Wednesday did his bit to amplify a conspiracy theory that Haitian immigrants legally present in Springfield, Ohio are stealing and eating pets, ducks and geese. The conspiracy has been debunked by the Springfield mayor, city manager and chief of police, as well as by Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. Yost is looking to succeed DeWine as governor in 2026. “Citizens testified to City Council,” Yost posted on X Wednesday. “These people would be competent witnesses in court. Why does the media find a carefully worded City Hall press release better evidence?”

Everybody is talking about Springfield, OH. While the mainstream media is focused on the controversy over cats and dogs being eaten (unproven, but not impossible), there is no question that residents of the city are suffering under the weight of too many Haitian migrants being crammed into a city too small and underfunded to absorb them. To put the problem of the residents into perspective, Mayor Adams has said that New York City is being destroyed by the influx of about 100,000 migrants, which amounts to one for every 830 New Yorkers. Springfield is dealing with an influx of one...

For our managerial leadership class, the purpose of mass immigration is to dissolve the American people and create another.If you were confused on Monday by the sudden proliferation of social media memes featuring AI-generated images of Donald Trump surrounded by kittens and ducks, or saving them from Haitians mobs, let me explain.Residents of Springfield, Ohio, a town of about 60,000 people, have been complaining recently about the influx of some 20,000 Haitian immigrants over the past three years, which has transformed their community in profound and disturbing ways. Some have claimed the Haitians are stealing people’s cats and dogs and...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature passed a supplemental spending bill Wednesday that eliminates a large waitlist for private school vouchers and also directs sheriffs to assist federal immigration agents seeking jail inmates... Fully funding the universal voucher program was a leading priority for Republican legislators earlier this year.... The bill also retains language that tells county sheriffs to comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers that identify jail inmates believed to be in the country unlawfully and who have been charged with the most serious crimes.... Republican advocates of the immigration provisions say they’re necessary...

If you do a Google search for 'dogs cats springfield', you'll find page after page of the MSM calling the story false. The closest to something sympathetic to Trump is "Haitian migrants eating pets? Here’s the even more serious story about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio" (link) and that doesn't take the dogs/cats story seriously. You can downplay that all you want, but such search results are what millions of potential voters see. Even if someone manages to find rock solid evidence supporting Trump's claim, it will probably just be a few incidents and it will be downplayed. (The video of...

Nathan Clark, the father of Aiden Clark, told attendees at Tuesday's city commission meeting in Springfield, Ohio, that he wishes his son had been killed by a 60-year-old white man instead of a Haitian because that would mean his son's death would not be used to spread hatred toward immigrants. Aiden's death last year sent shockwaves throughout the community and the country, as his bus was hit by a Haitian driver, bringing national attention to residents' concerns about road safety with Haitian drivers, who often do not have a license. "You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was...

...Kamala Harris's open border policy has brought around 20,000 migrants to the town of 60,000. Mayor Rob Rue has warned that this influx is straining public services and causing a housing crisis.

A single mother from Massachusetts says that illegal migrants from Venezuela, who live in the apartment below her, have started complaining to the landlord about everything she does and are now conspiring to get her evicted. She claims the landlord is receiving government funding to rent one of the apartments to these migrants, and she believes they want to get her out to have their friends to move into her apartment.

SPRINGFIELD, OH — As viral videos and reports of migrants abducting and eating housepets and geese swept the nation, a large mob of Ohio cats took to the streets to protest Haitian immigration. The crowd of protesting cats — many of which claimed to be survivors of attempted eatings — carried picket signs and stopped traffic to call attention to the dangers Haitian migrants posed to American society at large, and the local cat population in particular. "End immigration meow!" one cat shouted as he marched through the streets. "We are pets — not food! My brother went for a...

The Justice Department issued a warning to states Monday to tread lightly in trying to clean up their election systems of bogus names and ineligible voters, firing a shot across the bow of GOP-led states that have been trying to erase noncitizens from their rolls. Department officials also released a web video pleading with people to come forward with stories if they think they have been “improperly” removed. In new guidance to states, the department said federal law allows states to clean their rolls, but it must be done within strict guidelines and only for approved reasons such as a...
