(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the federal Government Accountability Office, race-based harassment and hate crimes have doubled in the last five years, Curtin pointed out. But he said the problem was underreported because teachers and students don’t trust the system.)
— SPEAKING OUT: Blame Biden, not Texas: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is crying she needs money for migrants. It’s my understanding she said Chicago was a sanctuary city and Gov. Pritzker said Illinois was a sanctuary state. She is bad mouthing the Texas governor, who is dealing with thousands of migrants on a daily basis, but the Biden administration has caused this by the open border. It’s time to close the border and deport the people that came here illegally.

— Dan Crenshaw pitches solution to border crisis to unite Democrats and Republicans – Anna Giaritelli
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/dan-crenshaw-solution-border-crisis-unite-democrats-republicans
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Let’s solve the border crisis in one tweet. Instead of spending billions more on ‘processing,’ spend more money on jet fuel. Pack planes full of migrants who cross illegally and deport them immediately. The crisis will end within months,” Crenshaw wrote in a string of tweets Monday evening. “In summary: fund airplanes, holding facilities, immigration judges, ICE prosecutors, walls, and technology capable of detecting fentanyl. And stop the abuses of our asylum system. That’s what border security would look like,” he wrote. The approach breaks with House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) proposal before the election, which ran along the lines of re-implementing a slew of Trump administration policies that Biden rescinded. Although Republicans and some Democrats have called on the Biden administration not to cease using a pandemic policy that allows illegal immigrants to be immediately sent back to Mexico, Crenshaw said approaches akin to Title 42 are flawed. “Why not just turn them away when they cross? Many have asked why Texas doesn’t do that. Because we have a river. Once they’re in the river, they’re within our jurisdiction. We can’t physically secure the Rio Grande. Even if we did turn them back, they’d cross somewhere else,” Crenshaw said. “So you need jet fuel. You need to be sending people far away from the border, thus making it unimaginable for someone to make the journey all the way north if they’re just gonna be sent back home.”)

WESTERN JOURNAL
— One Look at the Record Reveals the True Epicenter of Anti-Semitism – Richard Moss (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrat Chicago politicians had in forcing my many Jewish GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors to take many adverse actions against me. They stressed that I was conservative, Republican, Protestant, 100% German American, a Crete resident 1948-1972, and a Wheaton resident since 1978. In my defense, I stressed that my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F.)
https://www.westernjournal.com/op-ed-one-look-record-reveals-true-epicenter-anti-semitism/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A cursory exam of the record will demonstrate that Trump is the most pro-Israel, pro-Jewish president we have ever had. . .The Palestinian Liberation Organization is a terrorist entity stained with Jewish and American blood. It pays stipends to families of terrorists responsible for killing Jews and is the most successful Jew-killing operation since World War II. Trump closed its diplomatic mission in Washington, D.C. Obama upgraded it. Obama also increased U.S. funding to the PLO while Trump cut it. Biden has reinstated it. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency is an anti-Semitic body that supports Hamas and indoctrinates young Palestinians to hate Jews. Trump stopped funding the organization while Obama expanded it. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the anti-Semitic UN Human Rights Council. Obama joined it, as did Biden. Obama spent 20 years in the Trinity Church of Jeremiah Wright, an anti-Semite and bigot. Wright and Obama were associates of black nationalist, racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, who recently referred to Jews as “termites.” Farrakhan has spoken of his admiration of Hitler for killing millions of Jews (as has Hamas).)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Time Is Running Out for Afghan Refugees.” When did time run out for you? Time ran out for me in 1973 when I was a 25-year-old White male non-veteran Republican IRS employee who had not made GS-13, currently $109,732/year. While I did make GS-12, currently $92,279/year, in 1974, my IRS career was over. My IRS superiors were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to use Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to hire, to retain, and promote Democrats who were minority, female, and/or younger. Because of that, they ignored, dismissed, belittled, and badmouthed my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. Because of that, I successfully applied for a transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Why Millennials Are Following Boomers to the South.” The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. Those who move to Republican areas to escape Democrats should consider the success that Democrats have had in invading, infesting, taking over, and destroying the once-Republican DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Ever-increasingly, poverty and crime increases in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. The closer that Democrat areas are to Republican areas and/or the more that those areas are connected with public transportation and/or major roads, the faster that Democrats will invade, infest, take over, and destroy those areas.
