Kamala Harris Calls for 'Pathway to Citizenship' to End Border Crisis​


U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris called for a "meaningful pathway to citizenship" on Monday night amid efforts by President Joe Biden and Congressional leadership to try and reach a bipartisan national security deal that would fund border enforcement efforts and unlock military aid for Ukraine.
That stupid kunt does not understand that the wetbacks aren't seeking "a meaningful pathway to citizenship". The want money. They want it for "free". They will work for it or steal, if they are forced to.

During an interview with CNN's Laura Coates on Monday, Harris discussed the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, referring to it as a "long-standing problem."

"There's no question that our immigration system is broken," Harris said. "And so much so, that as the first bill that we offered after our inauguration, was to fix the immigration system, which included what we must do to create a pathway for citizenship and to put the resources that are needed into the border. But sadly, people on the other side of the aisle have been playing politics with this issue."
The kunt is blaming the republicans? The republicans will vote to secure the border today.
For the past few weeks, Biden has continued talks with the four Congressional leaders on border negotiations. The president and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries want to approve funding to war-torn Ukraine. However, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose party controls the lower chamber, has criticized the bipartisan Senate deal and said additional aid to Ukraine needs to include significant changes to border security.
Let's secure Ukraine's border, but not our own.

"The solution includes putting resources at the border to do what we can to process people effectively, and putting in place laws that actually allow for a meaningful, meaningful pathway to citizenship," Harris said.
Again, you imbecile, they want money. They are not seeking citizenship. If we need they here for labor, document them, control them and give them a work permit. Stop allowing birth right anchor babies too.

However, in the latest round of border-deal negotiations a "pathway to citizenship" wasn't included. Coates brought up criticism over the deal not including a path to citizenship, Harris said she wouldn't discuss current negotiations.

As Biden seeks reelection, with Harris as his running mate, the border crisis remains one of the Biden Administration's biggest vulnerabilities, polls show. With Biden likely facing former President Donald Trump in November, immigration has been one of the key issues of the race and one of the MAGA leader's frequent talking points on the campaign trail.

The border crisis changed the political calculus in Washington, where Senate Democrats stayed in town into the holidays to negotiate border restrictions that were criticized by immigration activists as a Trump-style crackdown. By early 2024, even Biden, who made reversing Trump's immigration policies a touchstone of his 2020 campaign, had moved. The president told reporters that he was waiting for Congress to authorize new funds to deal with the border crisis.

As the border deal negotiations wage on as Democratic mayors are facing mounting pressure amid an influx of migrants. Thousands of migrants have been transported from the Southern border to Northern cities, including New York and Chicago. There were more than 2.4 million encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border during the 2023 fiscal year, up from roughly 1.7 million in 2021, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

Blue-city mayors now agree with red-state governors that droves of migrants crossing the southern border represent a crisis that Biden needs to address.
Funny how it boils down to nimbyism. Elites are always for spooks and wets, until their kids have to ride the bus with them.

"Don't yell at me. Yell at D.C.!" said New York Mayor Eric Adams after busloads of migrants from Texas overwhelmed his city. In city after city led by Democrats, mayors decried the White House's immigration response, using lines that Texas Governor Greg Abbott, the mastermind of migrant busing, would have quoted with pride.

Harris said the "solutions are at hand" for addressing the border crisis but lamented the lack of bipartisanship.


"Gone are the days sadly where a President Bush or John McCain understood that we should have a bipartisan approach to fixing this problem," the vice president said.
That kunt's solution: Let illegals flood across the border and get them voting D.

Kamala Harris Calls for 'Pathway to Citizenship' to End Border Crisis​

.......
The plan all along. Overwhelm the system so much, that the ridiculous suggestion somehow seems more plausible to the citizenry. "the only solution is make these folks US citizens....you know, for added tax monies (and of course voting rights, naturally) and such."

Somewhat like how I feel ObabmaCare (Affordable Care Act) was meant to work. Make the private market for healthcare so incredibly cost-prohibitive that universal healthcare (or a flavor thereof), as provided by the Federal gov., becomes more acceptable (in my perhaps over-simplified view).
 

NFL Adds Wokeness to Super Bowl Week, Announces LGBT-Themed 'Night of Pride'​

Football is one of the few sports that Americans can enjoy that has no presence in June, which frees the NFL from turning away fans who do not want the LGBT agenda shoved in their face.

Given that the LGBT lobby has claimed the entire month for itself, other sports that operate throughout those 30 days might feel pressure to make something of “pride” month -- and they do.


The NFL, an August to February sport, could easily avoid the negative feedback from fans but has decided to go another route.

The league announced Monday it will host an event with GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) during Super Bowl week next month in Las Vegas.

Apparently league officials believe nothing goes better with smash-mouth football than rainbows.

Since the NFL’s obsession with Taylor Swift apparently isn’t gay enough, the league announced in a news release it is all-in on celebrating “pride” and will be washing that down with vodka in Sin City.

The NFL said in a statement: “The National Football League (NFL) will host the third annual A Night of Pride with GLAAD presented by Smirnoff during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, NV on Wednesday, February 7. The event will feature a special live performance with singer-songwriter VINCINT.

"A Night of Pride with GLAAD is an evening of music, cocktails and interview-style conversations with GLAAD, a non-profit organization focused on LGBTQ advocacy and cultural change. The NFL family and partners will gather to spotlight advances in the future of LGBTQ inclusion in professional sports as well the NFL's commitment to LGBTQ former and current players.”

The NFL also said there will also be a red carpet for attendees as well as a Q&A on how “inclusion in sports advances acceptance for LGBTQ people.”

The announcement will probably make league executives some friends on the coasts, but football purists who are sick and tired of having left-wing agendas pushed on them are speaking out on the social media platform X.

Sounds gay

It wasn’t enough for the NFL to allow its players to disrespect the country’s national anthem by kneeling, nor was it enough for the league to paint the divisive political slogan “BLACK LIVES MATTER” in end zones following the George Floyd riots of 2020.

The league apparently also felt adding a “black national anthem” would bring about unity in an increasingly divided country.

Now, league officials are celebrating a collaboration with one of the most extreme groups in the country.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by the NFL forcing yet another woke, far-left cause on diehard fans but so much to be lost in the long run.

Lifelong fans of the sport of football can only take so much political posturing and virtue signaling before the game is simply no longer worth watching.
 
I wonder if shehe sucked Will's cock?

I wonder if Will's wife was upset about him going on a road trip with the tranny?

It appears that woke elites have constructed yet another platform from which to harangue the masses.

In what might have passed for satire as recently as ten years ago, establishment-media movie reviewers have waxed rhapsodic over "Will & Harper," a new documentary in which actor Will Ferrell chronicled a cross-country road trip with longtime friend Harper Steele, a man who recently decided to begin masquerading as a trans woman.


The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Monday.

According to entertainment reporter Patrick Ryan of USA Today, the 63-year-old Steele "came out as a trans woman in an email to family and friends" in 2022.

For decades prior to that coming-out moment, Steele had maintained a close friendship with Ferrell. They met in the mid-1990s on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," where Steele worked as a comedy writer.

Kevin Fallon, senior editor at Obsessed \-- the Daily Beast's entertainment wing -- noted that Steele and Ferrell have also collaborated on a number of projects beyond SNL.

Ferrell, of course, achieved superstardom by playing likable comedic roles in hit movies such as "Elf," "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights."

On the surface, therefore, "Will & Harper" amounts to a film in which two longtime friends documented a road trip.

Of course, modern woke audiences and film critics would never swoon over that kind of film. So the documentary's focus on Steele's "transition" gave them precisely the element they needed to showcase their own moral virtue.

Ryan, for instance, described “Will & Harper” as "a joyous and life-affirming documentary." The reviewer then dutifully referred to Steele as "she" and "her" -- as if writing it made it true.

Then -- and here came the near-satire -- Ryan alerted the reader to "uncomfortable" and "tense moments" in the film.

Ah, there is nothing like the tension that builds during a great drama. One thinks of the legendary courtroom scene in "A Few Good Men," starring Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. Audiences could feel the high stakes involved.

So what "tense moments" did "Will & Harper" provide?

"Steele is misgendered on multiple occasions by waitstaff and restaurantgoers," Ryan wrote.


A predictable, parenthetical note followed: "'I am not a bro,' she politely but firmly corrects one man, sitting at a bar adorned with Confederate and Trump flags."

Believe it or not, Ryan's melodramatic claptrap appeared subdued next to Fallon's self-righteousness.

"It’s not just that the project is brave and characteristically unusual," Fallon wrote. "It’s that -- and please do your best to strip this upcoming phrase from all of its corny, eye-rolling earnestness -- the film is an endeavor that could change and even save lives."

One way to "save lives," of course, is to showcase the parts of America whose residents you deem bigoted, so that you and your friends can feel morally superior to them.

"The film is a travelog illuminating where different parts of the country are when it comes to acceptance or having an empathetic curiosity about trans people," Fallon nauseatingly wrote.


In case readers missed the most important point -- implied but unstated -- "Will & Harper" has an educational purpose. Thus, it allows our woke social betters to instruct their backward inferiors.

Fallon, in fact, described the conversations between Steele and Ferrell as "a bit of Trans 101."

The film's broader purpose, of course, will alienate all sensible moviegoers exhausted by wokeness.

As for its apparent preachiness, one need always consider the source.

For instance, in a clip posted last month to the social media platform X, Ferrell exhibited the vacuity characteristic of his Hollywood peers.

"Isn't it just time for women to run the planet?" Ferrell said to female-sounding cheers from an unspecified audience.

Funniest thing he's ever said.

When a man has said something like that, one need not attend to anything else he might say.

Ferrell's continued friendship with Steele, of course, is admirable.

But "Will & Harper" has not earned early plaudits for its depiction of friendship. It has earned them for its promotion of transgender ideology.

After all, it was not enough for people in "different parts of the country" to treat Steele with kindness. They had to show him "acceptance" as a trans person and "empathetic curiosity" about his transgender claim in order to demonstrate where they "are."
 
This kind of seems appropriate for this thread..

OKC to get the countries tallest building?


Should have went in fail for the first sentence in the article.

"Whoever had "tallest skyscraper in the U.S. to be build in a midwestern city of less than a million" on their 2024 bingo, please come up to collect your prize!"

To be build? Really? GTFOOH. :laughing:
