Why, It’s Almost As If That Were The Plan
Booming foreign-born populations, highly dependent on big government, lead to electoral sweeps. The biggest problem with the huge numbers of Somali immigrants isn’t that they’re Muslim, or the possibility that less than a percent of Minnesota’s population might “impose Sharia law”. ‘ It’s that they support “progressivism” today. And “progressivism” is the one ideology that can destroy…

Grab Your Transfer
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Fox News reports that the ‘caravan’ migrants are boarding busses chartered by the local government in Mexico. They don’t want the migrants in their area so they’re paying for busses to ship the migrants North, passing the buck to America. Can’t blame them. Can we hire busses to ship…

The Human Shell Game
A friend of the blog writes: Looking at the video footage of the “Caravan” I was reminded of the Carter tenure when the Mariel Boatlift happened. Then as now a compliant MSM was thrilled at the prospect of capturing all the touching, even heart-wrenching, human interest stories of photogenic brown-skinned people being pulled from the…

Trump Is So Awful…
… that thousands of people are theatrically attempting to bum rush the borders to get here to the country he’s, er, destroying. Perhaps they thought they were marching to Venezuela?

Skal Ethiopia!
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: If the Prime Minister of Norway came to Minnesota, would she get an exuberant reception from crowds of Minnesota Norwegians? I suspect not, because for Americans, being of Norwegian extraction is not a core identity, it’s a footnote. That’s what happens when people assimilate: they put their new nation…

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: The United States is heading for massive, mountainous, record-breaking deficits under the Trump Administration. The nation’s reckless spending spree must be curtailed. I have the solution. For every illegal alien who enters the country, one student’s college loan is eliminated. The cost to the taxpayers is about the…

Cultural Genocide!
Donald Truimp proposes to separate children of legal immigrants from their parents for 25 hours a week for instruction in American values – including traditions like Christmas, Easter, and of course fluency in English. Spokespeople for the proposal say that if immigrants won’t willingly assimilate to American life, they – or at least their next generation…

Downfall
Europe – blessed by US deterrence with the longest period of peace in its history – loves to hector America about how much better Europe does, well, everything. Laugh it up, Eurotrash: There is a Roman Empire-like sameness throughout Europe in fashion, popular culture, and government protocol — a welcome change from the deadly fault lines…

The Wheel Just Keeps On Spinning
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: We’re headed for another fight over Dreamers, illegal aliens brought into the country as minors by their parents. Democrats and RINOs like McCain want amnesty on the grounds that minors aren’t responsible for their actions so it’s humane to let them stay rather than force them to return to…

Contraindicated
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: When the gun grabbers want to push gun control, they decry 30,000 gun violence deaths per year. But wait, 20,000 of them are old white men committing suicide and 10,000 are young black men killing each other in the hood. The causes are completely different and the cures are…

Not Quite
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: People who snuck into the country should be deported; but if they’re law-abiding while here, there’s no urgency. People who snuck into the country and committed crimes while here are worse, so President Trump has prioritized them for deportation. Lawyers for illegal immigrants are now seeking pardons for their…

Top Heavy
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails 60 million receiving Social Security, 120 million paying into it, a 2-to-1 ratio of workers to beneficiaries. We’ve reached the level of the Ponzi scheme pyramid where the scam becomes unsustainable. How to save it? Maybe start by eliminating payments to non-citizens. Why not, they can’t vote you out…

You’re Just Another Panel In The Wall
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: The United States border with Mexico is about 1,900 miles long. Trump seeks $18 billion to build The Wall over 10 years. Not good enough. He’s only in office three more years, after which his successor can halt construction. We’ve seen this before. Reagan traded amnesty for promises of…

Renversement
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Emmanuel Macron won the Presidency of France six months ago by claiming to be more friendly, more compassionate, more caring than the far-rightnationalist candidate Marine Le Pen who pledged to crack down on immigrants. As recently as July, Macron was celebrated as the Anti-Trump, a globalist who believes Europe…

Not That There’s A Problem
Two years ago, “the authorities” dismissed reporters that gangs of Middle-Eastern and North-African migrants roamed the streets of German cities during the New Years celebrations, attacking women in an orgy of depredation Europe hadn’t seen since, well, Europeans were doing it to each other in the thirties and forties. Dismissals aside, The Authorities” saw fit…

7 Billion Americans (Paperwork Pending)
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: RINOs demand amnesty for illegal aliens before year-end. Yes, I know, they’re claiming it’s only for a few people, and they’re doing it for the children, and I’m a hard-hearted bastard for doubting them. But this is not my first rodeo. I remember 1986. I know a camel’s nose…

A Cold Antananarivo
Joe Doakes emails from Como Park: I had an appointment at Health Partners yesterday. First question the receptionist asked: “Have you traveled outside the country in the last two weeks?” Why does it matter if I went anywhere? I live in Minnesota, home to the largest tuberculosis outbreak in the nation, centered in the Hmong…

Robbing Gordon To Pay Jacques
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Canada doesn’t want refugees who pass through the United States. Haters. Next thing, they’ll have their military putting up concentration camps on the border. Joe Doakes You never know.

Sins Of Our Fathers/Mothers/Other/Both/Undefined
SCENE: Mitch BERG is filling up his gas tank, focusing on the meter, as Avery LIBRELLE rides up on a Vespa. LIBRELLE: Hey, Merg. BERG: Er, hi, Avery. What’s up? LIBRELLE: Trump is an idiot. BERG: Naturally. Why this time? LIBRELLE: He wants to deport DACA kids. BERG: Well, no. He’s giving Congress six…

Devalued
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Well I’m certainly not in favor of this proposal. Took years and cost a fortune to get my license to practice law including a background check and continuing classes every year – now they’re proposing to hand out law licenses to people who aren’t even supposed to be in…

For The Gander
SCENE: Mitch BERG is sitting in the tire shop, waiting for a patch on a slow leak. Just as BERG thinks the phrase “slow leak”, Avery LIBRELLE enters the lobby, distracted, and sits. Then, LIBRELLE notices BERG. LIBRELLE: Merg! BERG: Er, hey, Avery. LIBRELLE: Donald Drumpf and the Senate are proposing racist immigration laws. BERG:…

The Sieve
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Flood of immigrants into Europe again, 85,000 so far this year, mostly people looking for the gravy train. Immigrants generally first arrive in Italy, which is supposed to be able to pass them on to other nations in the European Union (that’s the point of open borders within the…

A Border Too Far
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: These are the people that Liberals claim we should recruit as immigrants, so Americans can more fully experience the benefits of diversity. Because soon as they’re standing on American soil, they’ll be fully American same as you and me. And if you don’t like it, then you should leave.…

Lie First, Lie Always: The City Pages – Making It Up As They Go Along
The City Pages, 1997: Solid (if solidly-left-of-center) reporting, a keen eye on local events (at least in Uptown, Downtown and Dinkytown), and some investigative reporting that shamed the local dailies. The City Pages, 2017: Creeping on Facebook pages, calling it “news”. Mike Mullen – who we’ve encountered before – found a Facebook post which…
