Betcha not one of them are opening their homes to another family. Biden's got that huge white house that only he and the Mrs. live in. Let him open his home or even one of his vacation homes. Sounds fair to me. He's the one who invited them. :wink:

Jill Biden was supposed to be in our area yesterday visiting a new site that is a collaboration between a local community college and a chip manufacturer - I guess it got some Biden Bucks as part of the domestic chip manufacturing program. One or two of the things Bumbles has done at least appears to be positive. Of course, the cynical part of me will say that the very building this new venture is located in was once senior IBM management for the enormous domestic chip manufacturing facility that was right down the road that has been entirely erased and is now the biggest warehouse I have ever seen, and I've seen many. Amazon. Biden and many others like him on both sides of the aisle seemed to be OK with allowing all that production to go overseas before, now like a big ****ing wall maybe it's time to reverse course.

We have some of the migrants nearby in a Red Roof Inn and they're not bothering anyone as far as I can tell. Not long ago there was a stink raised about some refugees - Syrian I think. Many tempers flared. Two years later the only difference is the crappy neighborhood they wound up in looks 100% better.

Doesn't mean I want to host any in my home - I'd sooner take in a stray dog or cat than a human and that has nothing to do with immigrants. We did take a human in once recently of necessity for him - not doing that again.

Sent all the manufacturing to China, destroyed the manufacturing facility in favor of one that makes even more Chinese import available. Great.

Out of all of the electable bobblehead candidates we have to choose from in the coming presidential election next year, I have chosen this one...Maybe Kennedy will actually make some effort to be a good president...He doesn't seem to be a political puppet nor is he a total dickhead and hopefully get the two main political parties to work together to some degree...

Biden goes missing: President is NOT expected to address the nation and has no public events for TWO DAYS after his administration confirmed at least nine Americans killed in Israel​

With war waging in Israel and a confirmed American death toll of nine so far, President Joe Biden has gone radio silent as he has yet to comment on the loss of U.S. lives.

Biden delivered extremely brief remarks on Saturday condemning the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, but he maintained a clear schedule on Sunday and Monday despite confirmation of American deaths in the conflict.

Meanwhile, other world leaders publicly expressed support for the Jewish State.

Additionally, on Sunday the President was briefed that Americans had been killed by Hamas fighting - but Biden still went forward with hosting a staff BBQ at the White House with a live band.

On Monday morning, the White House communications office called a 'lid' before noon, meaning that Biden and his staff would not hold any events for the press as the world turned to the president to hear about the loss of life.

Is Biden thinking of giving Trump to Iran or charging him for the death of Soleimani?...

Mystery solved as Iran-backed judge, who seeks Trump’s arrest, confirms invite to Washington, DC​

Iraq’s top judge, Faiq Zidan, who seeks the arrest of former President Donald Trump, confirmed through his spokesperson to Fox News Digital that he has indeed been invited to Washington, D.C. Fox News Digital first broke the story that Zidan had been invited to Washington.

There had been confusion about the controversial judge's visit to Washington, D.C., when it was revealed that he was to meet with officials at the Department of Justice. A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital last week, "The Supreme Judicial Council President Faiq Zidan is going to be hosted by the Department of Justice, so we defer to the DOJ to discuss their meetings. We engage with a wide range of counterparts in Iraq, and we value engaging the Iraqi judiciary. The DOJ meets regularly with foreign judicial leaders."

Yet conflicting with the State Department spokesperson's statement, a source familiar with the situation told Fox News Digital last Thursday that "Zidan will not be meeting with any DOJ officials."

On Monday, Zidan’s spokesperson texted Fox News Digital on the WhatsApp messaging service, writing, "His visit to Washington was postponed due to the current war conditions. When he visits Washington, he will hold a meeting with you to clarify many matters that are not clear to American public opinion."

Fox News Digital called Zidan’s spokesperson before publication of its first article on his planned visit. She declined to comment on the telephone or via WhatsApp. After Fox News Digital sent the Iraqi spokesperson its published story, she issued the statement that the war in Israel was preventing Zidan from traveling to Washington.

According to a source familiar with Zidan’s invitation to the DOJ, the judge told many U.S. officials that the DOJ invited him to Washington, D.C.

In January, Zidan said that Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council had filed an arrest warrant for Trump with regard to the U.S. targeted killing of Iranian Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, who reportedly oversaw the murders of more than 600 American military personnel in the Mideast.

'You are unfit to serve in the House': Congressman hits out at Squad member Ilhan Omar after she branded Israel's retaliation against Hamas' a 'war crime' despite their bloody attack that killed more than 900​

A New York congressman railed against Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar after the Minnesota Democrat asserted that Israel should not fight back against Hamas and called its military efforts a 'war crime'.

On Monday, Omar said she opposed an Israeli military response and said that 'peace and justice will not come from the barrel of a gun.'

Rep. Mike Lawler, a republican representing New York's 17th congressional district, wrote on X: 'Israel was just brutally attacked by terrorists, funded by Iran, and you (Omar) want to cut off funding and military aid and equipment.

'You are out of your mind and unfit to serve in the House of Representatives. This is why you were removed from the Foreign Affairs committee.'

In February, Omar was removed from the committee with fellow Republicans in Congress citing her anti-Israel rhetoric in the past as the reason.

The surprise terror attack by Hamas on Israel at the weekend killed more than 900 people.

In her statement on Monday, Omar attacked Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant's actions against Hamas, calling it 'collective punishment' and a 'war crime.'

Biden admin scorches 'Squad' for 'repugnant' comments after Hamas attacks​

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre turned up the heat on members of the far-left "Squad" during Tuesday's press briefing, blasting their comments on the war between Israel and Hamas as "wrong," "repugnant," and "disgraceful."

"I've seen some of those statements this weekend, and we're going to continue to be very clear. We believe they're wrong, we believe they're repugnant, and we believe they're disgraceful," Jean-Pierre said when asked for the administration's reaction to comments made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo.

"Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here. There are not two sides," she added.

Florida Republican Cory Mills rescues 32 Americans in Israel while White House dithers about how to get stranded US citizens out​

Florida Republican Cory Mills has rescued 32 Americans stranded in Israel as its fight against Hamas intensified.

Today, photos of Mills, an Iraq veteran, emerged in which he was seen with a large group on a bus, leaving the war-torn country.

Mills told The Floridian that he flew overnight yesterday to get to the combat zone to help. He provided similar help in September 2021 during the disastrous withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.

His exact location in Israel is unclear and it's unknown if he has safely returned back to the US.

U.S. and Qatar FREEZE $6 billion in Iranian funds as Biden punishes Tehran for supporting Hamas' attack on Israel - just weeks after releasing money in exchange for five American prisoners​

Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo,briefed House Democrats on the decision Thursday, hours after President Joe Biden issued his first public warning to Iran since the Hamas attack on Israel. The $6 billion was being administered by Qatar after the US agreed to unfreeze the money in exchange for five US prisoners. The money was yet to be accessed by Iran, which under the terms of the deal can only use them for 'humanitarian' purposes. Biden's remarks on Wednesday were the first time since the Hamas attack that he had confronted Iran, which has long supported Hamas militarily and politically, but has denied advance knowledge of its attack on Israel.

John Fetterman roasted for saying America isn't sending 'best and brightest' to DC: 'Pot met kettle'​

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was roasted on social media after he claimed Wednesday America is failing to send its "best and brightest" to serve in Congress.

"You all need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.," Fetterman remarked during a late-night interview with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show," sparking laughter from the audience. "Sometimes you literally just can’t believe these people are making the decisions that are determining the government here. It’s actually scary."

Fetterman's comments came in response to a question from Colbert about whether it was "awkward" to face a lawmaker in person who he posted a meme about. Shortly after his remarks, Fetterman was roundly mocked by social media users who commented that he "embodies the very truth he speaks."

"Yes. Fetterman — the guy who lived off of his parents into his 40s and has never held a job in the real world in his life — actually said that," conservative columnist and author Joe Concha wrote.

Arnold Schwarzenegger claims Democrats want to 'f*** up every city' in the US

Arnold Schwarzenegger claims Democrats want to 'f*** up every city' in the US​

by Asher Notheis, Social Media Producer
October 12, 2023 02:14 PM

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a newly released podcast that Democrats want to ruin cities and intend to "f*** up every city in America."

Schwarzenegger, known for his role in the Terminator films and for serving as the governor of California for most of the 2000s, had been discussing a statement made by a friend of actor Rob Lowe, the podcast's host, who described five things that makes someone a Republican, including less government, more personal freedoms, and a strong military. Lowe told Schwarzenegger he wanted to ask Democrats "what it means to be a Democrat," to which Schwarzenegger replied, "Ruin your cities."

"That's what the Democrats would say," Schwarzenegger said. "'We are about ruining the cities. We want to f*** up every city in America.' That seems to be the theme right now."

When asked why he thinks the Democrats want to ruin cities, Schwarzenegger replied that he had "no idea."
The former governor was also asked what he thought about Robert Kennedy Jr. and his 2024 run for president, to which he responded positively, calling the now-independent candidate "great." Schwarzenegger said he had known Kennedy for "a long time" and believes he "has it in his blood to create a better country and to become president."

Schwarzenegger also acknowledged many factors in the 2024 presidential election could change the outcome, including former President Donald Trump's indictments and investigations into President Joe Biden's foreign business dealings with his son.

"Everything moves all the time with these new revelations," Schwarzenegger said. "And so I think that any one of the candidates can in fact win. It all depends on which way, you know, the wind blows."

Kennedy recently announced his plans to run for the White House as an independent; he had previously sought to challenge Biden for the Democratic Party's nomination. The move is expected to affect both the Republican and Democratic nominees, as Kennedy could siphon off votes from either party.

Robert F. Kennedy's divorce from the Democrats TIES the 2024 race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden - as he sucks independents away from the ex-president​

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s announcement Monday to run for president as an Independent complicates the presidential race, with early surveys showing him tying up the race between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. A Fox News poll from Wednesday found that in a three-way race between Trump, who is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Biden and Kennedy, Biden and Trump tie at 41 percent and Kennedy sucks up 16 percent of the vote. A Zogby survey conducted for the pro-Kennedy PAC American Values 2024 had similar findings, with Trump and Biden tied at 38 percent and with Kennedy garnering 19 percent of the vote.
