The Epstein-New Mexico connection

There's always a snake in the garden, and it's almost always a Democrat: "How New Mexico Democrats Covered Up Epstein’s Crimes".

Analysis: true

 

And now, a word from our sponsor

Actually, you kinda do.

This gratifies me no end

I am delighted to see that ICE has descended on Charlotte, NC - an absurdly pretentious city, and Atlanta wanna-be, that has become a hive of woke politics and Democrat corruption. I offer my best wishes to ICE, and my prayers for the safety of the agency's personnel, as they continue to round up members of one of the Democrats' most important demographic groups: "Viral Claim That ICE ‘Shot a Hispanic Man’ in Charlotte Debunked, Turns Out Illegal Alien Criminal Tried to Escape and Was Arrested INSIDE HOSPITAL CEILING".

Maybe some good news in the offing for Chile

"Chile's hard-right holds the upper hand as presidential election goes to a runoff".

The Communist candidate, Jeanette Jara, scored the highest percentage of votes in the first round of the presidential contest, with close to 27% of votes cast; however, the right was split by the presence of several conservative and libertarian candidates, and José Antonio Kast (a strongly pro-Trump figure), who pulled in nearly 24% of the vote, will go up against Jara head to head. Conservative candidates received 70% of votes cast, so it appears clear that Chile is ready to dump its most recent experiment with a leftist government, represented by the current president, socialist Gabriel Boric (a student activist who dropped out of law school and went straight into politics). 

Yes, most Democrats are rabid ideologues

But that doesn't mean they spurn the green stuff when they can get their grubby hands on it: "Spot the Pattern in These Wonderfully Progressive Policy Circles, Where Everyone is Warm and Kind".

Or consider this excellent reporting from the generally awful Arizona Republic: A company that runs group homes for abused and neglected children warned the State of Arizona that it was insolvent and would be forced to stop caring for at least some state child welfare agency clients, so the state gave the company an extra $4 million a year. Also, the company’s financial records don’t support the claim that the company was in the red, and they also show “a seven-figure payout to the company’s shareholders.” Why would the state give a bunch of extra money to a contractor that wasn’t actually in need of the funding? Hard to say for sure, but Sunshine Residential Homes has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Arizona Democratic Party and the inauguration fund of the Democratic governor, the consistently bizarre and horrible Katie Hobbs.

Could it be that many progressives are mostly just interested in progressing toward financial security for themselves?
