We're planning on moving to Mexico so I wrote to the White House:
Dear President Biden,
I'm planning to move to Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
I'm planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here, so would you mind telling your buddy, the Mexican President, that I'm on my way down?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking
(bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services and I also want to be able to vote.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want to hear any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say any critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I also want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income Tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico.
I am sure that the Mexican President won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help.
You're da Man, Joe

Millennial Diagnosed With Tragic Inability To Even
BOTHELL, WA—According to reports, local 22-year-old Chloe Kowalski’s world was torn apart Thursday morning, as the millennial barista was diagnosed with a rare disease that prevents her from having the ability to even.
“I just—I can’t even,” Kowalski reportedly sobbed on her boyfriend’s shoulder after the appointment with her regular doctor, which she had scheduled after slowly losing her even functionality over the course of several months.
“I can’t even right now. I can’t even, ever,” she was overheard saying through tears before breaking down.
“We’ve never seen a case quite like this before,” Dr. Elizabeth Eden told reporters gathered outside the clinic where Kowalski’s devastating diagnosis was handed down. “Many millennials will experience short bouts of not being able to even for several seconds, often triggered by a cute video of a cat or other small animal, or perhaps something online that’s ‘so relatable.'”
“But Kowalski—she just can’t even. She may never even again, at least not without assistance,” she said, shaking her head grimly, according to reporters.
Reached for comment, Kowalski noted that she “still can’t even.”
“I seriously just can’t even, you guys,” she confirmed.

AMERICA’S MOST ANTI-CHRISTIAN PRESIDENT
The most extreme leftwing figure to ever occupy the White House.
May 3, 2019 David Horowitz
Which American president changed the White House Christmas cards from being about Christmas or faith to cards featuring the family dogs and similar non-Christmas related subjects?
Which president decorated the White House Christmas tree with ornaments that included figures such as Mao Zedong and a drag queen?
Which president excluded pro-life groups from attending a White House-sponsored health care summit?
Which president nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican?
Which president speaking at Georgetown University ordered a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name covered while he was delivering his speech?
Which president made a practice of deliberately omitting the phrase about “the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence?
Which president opposed the inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial?
Which presidential administration announced that it would forgive student loans in exchange for public service, but that it would no longer forgive student loans if the public service was related to religion?
The answer of course is President Barack Obama, the most extreme leftwing figure ever to occupy the White House. Obama’s attacks on Christians earned him the title of “America’s Most Biblically Hostile President” from the website www.wallbuilders.com, which listed these incidents.
Of course these constitute only a partial list of Obama’s attacks on Christians, and religious communities in general. Among Obama’s more serious crimes was his support for the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which gave a green light to that infidel-hating organization to murder thousands of Coptic Christians simply because they were Christian.
Even worse, Obama abandoned America’s military base in Iraq and withdrew America’s troops, creating a vacuum which gave rise to ISIS and the creation of the Islamic state. The jihadists then set out to murder hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians without a protest from Obama or a serious military effort to stop them. Thanks to Obama’s reluctance, ISIS succeeded in destroying the oldest Christian community in the world whose temple in Mosul had held Sunday sermons continuously since the time of St. Paul.
This genocide was one of the most disgraceful episodes in American history. And it was the direct responsibility of a president who went to the United Nations after the attack in Benghazi to protect the Islamic jihadists responsible for the murder of four Americans – including the American ambassador. Although he knew the claim was false, Obama blamed their deaths on an obscure filmmaker whose offensive video no one saw. Obama then proclaimed to the world in the strangest words ever uttered by an American president: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet Mohammed.”
The blood on Obama’s hands, was more than a betrayal of the Iraqi Christians and the heroes in Benghazi. It was a betrayal of every American and every Iraqi who gave their lives to keep that country out of the hands of the terrorists. It was a betrayal of America itself.

History of Blackface Not What You Think
By Robert Cherry
Megyn Kelly has been universally condemned for claiming that in certain contexts it is acceptable to use blackface for Halloween costumes. These critics referenced the history of blackface presentations of demeaning negative stereotypes. While this deplorable use of blackface was widespread in the mid-19th century, it has little to do with its 20th century use by primarily Jewish and black entertainers.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Jewish women came to dominate “coon songs”; songs performed in blackface and sung in a black dialect. These songs were the antithesis of the minstrel songs that typified 19th-century blackface. The most important practitioners of these reckless, anti-sentimental tunes were Sophie Tucker and Fanny Brice. Indeed, Brice risked her Broadway debut in the Ziegfeld Follies by demanding that she sing “Loving Joe” in blackface. She claimed that it was necessary to give an authentic sympathetic portrayal of a black man. These Jewish coon singers paved the way for the later successes of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ethel Waters.
While Brice and Tucker transitioned out of blackface, the two most noted practitioners, Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson, used blackface for much of their careers. Like the coon singers, Jolson chose blackface to give authenticity to his songs. Cantor’s blackface performances countered racist stereotypes. In his routines with the black entertainer, Bert Williams, Cantor played an effete young man who was more at home with the elite than individuals from his social class; in Whoopee! he shows the deeply racist nature of the one-drop rule of determining blackness.
Moreover, both entertainers were exemplary in their support of black entertainers. Jolson brought black West Coast performers to the East to be featured dancers, and an aspiring playwright to have his piece become the first drama with a majority black cast ever produced on Broadway.
Cantor was deeply moved when he took a service elevator in Chicago so that Bert Williams could have dinner in his suite as no black person could use the guest elevators. This led Cantor to be a strong advocate for civil rights. When he was the rotating host of the Colgate Comedy Hour in the early 1950s, Cantor invited Sam Davis, Jr. to perform. At the end of a dance routine, Cantor hugged Davis and used his handkerchief to mop his brow. The TV station got a stream of letters from angry viewers who were revolted that a white man would act so subservient to a black man. In response, not only did Cantor write an angry reply to them, but made a point of inviting Davis back several times for subsequent shows.
What is also ignored is the attitude of the black public to the use of blackface. In the 1940s, only after a sustained NAACP campaign, did black comedians stop performing in blackface at black venues, including the Apollo Theater. Moreover, black Americans considered Cantor and Jolson among their most popular entertainers. The Jazz Singer was praised by black newspapers and had record attendance at black theaters. During the 1940s, when L.D. Reddick — a black historian and curator of the New York Public Library’s Schomburg collection—wrote a scathing exposé of racism in the entertainment business, he had only kind words for Jolson. At his funeral, black actors lined the way, in appreciation for what he’d done for them.
Cantor, too, was adored. When spotted at the Apollo Theater, the black audience demanded that he perform during a commercial break; a performance that went on for more than 30 minutes at the audience’s insistence. Continue article here

Anti-Trump Man Has a Change of Heart After Going to Trump Rally Looking For Fights, But Finds Peace
Saturday, September 02, 2017
Comparison Between Presidents Trump and Obama – First 7 Months – Massive Success vs. Abysmal Failure
This is from the Gateway Pundit
President Trump has now been in office for seven complete months and it appears that the results of his actions as President are very good. We decided to compare his results with those of former President Obama to gain a perspective on how he is really doing.
US Stock Markets
* President Trump is already the only President in US history to oversee two stock market rallies of nine days or more where the markets set new highs each and every day.
* On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan’s 1987 record for most continuous closing high trading days when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!
* Then in early August President Trump reigned over a 9 day stock market rally with each day reaching record highs.
* The DOW daily closing stock market average has risen as much as much as 21% since the election on November 8th. (On November 9th the DOW closed at 18,332 – on September 1st the DOW closed at 21,987 – just off the all time high set on August 7th of 22,118).
* Since the Inauguration on January 20th the DOW is up 11%. (It was at 19,827 at January 20th.)
* The DOW took just 66 days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever. The DOW closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd and closed above 21,000 on March 1st.
* The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days.
* The DOW increased by 4,000 points in the 200 trading days between November 4th and August 22nd. This was the only time in US history where the DOW rose more than 4,000 points over a 200 working day period.
* The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have both set new all-time highs during this period.
* The US Stock Market gained $4 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* The S&P 500 also broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.
So how does this compare with President Obama’s first few months? The stock markets under President Obama moved in nearly the exact opposite direction in the nine months after President Obama’s election win in November 2008.
* The DOW daily closing stock market average tanked (went down) (-31%) between Obama’s election win on November 4th, 2008 and March 5th, 2009. (On November 4th the DOW closed at 9,625 – on March 5th the DOW closed at 6,594. Overall it decreased more than 3,000 points during this time).
By September 1st 2009 the DOW was back to above 9,000 at 9,310 but still below the November 4th stock market average. During this time period the stock market never reached a new stock market high. As a matter of fact, the Obama markets didn’t reach a new all time high during Obama’s entire first term (4 years).
US Debt
As of today, President Trump decreased the US Debt since his inauguration by (-$103) Billion.
President Trump now can claim the longest and largest decrease of US Federal Debt in history.
When President Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017 the amount of US Federal Debt owed both externally and internally was over $19 Trillion at $19,947,304,555,212. As of August 31st the amount of US Debt had decreased by more than $100 Billion to $19,844,533,441,924.
A review of the amount of (unaudited) of US Debt outstanding back through the Civil War shows that the last time the US Federal Government had a debt decrease between years was when Republican Eisenhower was President in 1957 and 1958. He cut the amount of US Debt by $2 Billion each year from $274 Billion in 1956 to $273 Billion in 1957 and again to $271 Billion in 1958.
No President besides President Donald Trump has cut the amount of US Debt by $100 Billion ever.
President Obama on the other hand increased the US debt in his first five months by $771 Billion.
Obama increased the US debt in his first 7 months by $1,166 billion or more than President Trump by $1.3 trillion dollars!
Jobs
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics President Trump added 1,405,000 jobs in his first eight months (January through August 2017.) President Obama on the other hand lost (4,367,000) jobs in his first eight months.
President Obama was so bad at creating jobs that by the end of his second term he said that jobs were not coming back.
Unemployment
Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics President Trump decreased unemployment since his inauguration (January through August 2017). The unemployment rate in January 2017 was 4.8% and by August it was down to 4.4%. It has never been higher than the starting rate of 4.8%.
President Obama on the other hand again moved in the opposite and negative direction. In his first eight months as President the US unemployment rate increased nearly each month from 7.8% in January 2009 to 9.8% by August of 2009.
Housing Sales
Housing sales are red-hot in the US right now. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.
According to the US Census Bureau, there were nearly twice as many US housing sales in the past couple of months as there were under President Obama in 2009 during the same time period. (The annualized housing sales rate for July 2017 is reported at 571,000 where in 2009 this amount was only 411,000.)
Economic Outlook
Under President Trump the second quarter annual GDP growth rate nearly doubled the rate from the President’s first quarter. Also, according the BEA, the US GDP surpassed $19 Trillion for the first time in US history under President Trump.
President Obama is the only President not to reach a 3% GDP Growth rate during his Presidency.
The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in February 2017 shortly after President Trump was sworn into office. The index reached 43 in February which was the best outlook since 1983 under President Reagan and has been in double digits ever since.
In Obama’s first five months in office (January through August of 2009) the best manufacturing index activity rating was 8 in August 2009 with most months being negative double digits.
Fed Funds Rate Increases
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates three times since President Trump was elected into office in November. The Fed increased interest rates only once in Obama’s 8 Years prior to the increase in December.
No Fed Funds Rate increases took place between June 2006 and December 2015. CNBC reported in December 2015 that President Obama oversaw “seven years of the most accommodative monetary policy in U.S. history” (from the Fed). But still the Obama economy due to numerous job killing initiatives pales when compared to President Trump’s.
Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration. Illegal border crossings are down 93%. President Obama opened up the US borders and Trump has drastically shut down illegal immigration. The result of this is lower costs for the federal government and taxpayers.
Gas Prices
Americans are expected to enjoy their summer vacations more due to low gas prices. The USA Today reported that:
American drivers are poised to reap unexpected savings at the gas pump after oil prices kicked into reverse.
The low gas prices that benefit Americans are due in part to President Trump’s actions to allow drilling in the US, reducing the amount of foreign oil imported from Middle East nations. Under President Obama gas prices in the US reached nearly $4 a gallon.
Decrease in Regulations
One of the first things that President Trump did in office was to reduce the number or burdensome regulations put in place during the Obama era. In January President Trump signed his 2 for 1 executive order mandating that for every new regulation, two regulations needed to be revoked. Even far left Politico notes that significant federal regulations since Trump’s inauguration have slowed to an almost total halt.
Regulations cost Americans and American companies money to implement and maintain. Reducing or halting regulations allows companies to spend their money on more prudent money making areas.
In Summary
Overall based on the above data it is clear that President Trump is doing a solid, if not excellent job.
The mainstream liberal media won’t report this, but when looking at the economy, President Trump the billionaire businessman crushes the former community organizer Barack Obama in every meaningful measurement. President Trump is enjoying massive success while the severely unqualified and nearly incompetent President Obama forced America through some of its worst years in history.
President Trump has now been in office for seven complete months and it appears that the results of his actions as President are very good. We decided to compare his results with those of former President Obama to gain a perspective on how he is really doing.
US Stock Markets
* President Trump is already the only President in US history to oversee two stock market rallies of nine days or more where the markets set new highs each and every day.
* On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan’s 1987 record for most continuous closing high trading days when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!

* The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days.
* The DOW increased by 4,000 points in the 200 trading days between November 4th and August 22nd. This was the only time in US history where the DOW rose more than 4,000 points over a 200 working day period.
* The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have both set new all-time highs during this period.
* The US Stock Market gained $4 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* The S&P 500 also broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.

By September 1st 2009 the DOW was back to above 9,000 at 9,310 but still below the November 4th stock market average. During this time period the stock market never reached a new stock market high.

President Obama is the only President not to reach a 3% GDP Growth rate during his Presidency.
The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in February 2017 shortly after President Trump was sworn into office. The index reached 43 in February which was the best outlook since 1983 under President Reagan and has been in double digits ever since.
In Obama’s first five months in office (January through August of 2009) the best manufacturing index activity rating was 8 in August 2009 with most months being negative double digits.
Fed Funds Rate Increases
The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates three times since President Trump was elected into office in November. The Fed increased interest rates only once in Obama’s 8 Years prior to the increase in December.
No Fed Funds Rate increases took place between June 2006 and December 2015. CNBC reported in December 2015 that President Obama oversaw “seven years of the most accommodative monetary policy in U.S. history” (from the Fed). But still the Obama economy due to numerous job killing initiatives pales when compared to President Trump’s.
Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration. Illegal border crossings are down 93%. President Obama opened up the US borders and Trump has drastically shut down illegal immigration. The result of this is lower costs for the federal government and taxpayers.
Gas Prices
Americans are expected to enjoy their summer vacations more due to low gas prices. The USA Today reported that:
American drivers are poised to reap unexpected savings at the gas pump after oil prices kicked into reverse.
The low gas prices that benefit Americans are due in part to President Trump’s actions to allow drilling in the US, reducing the amount of foreign oil imported from Middle East nations. Under President Obama gas prices in the US reached nearly $4 a gallon.
Decrease in Regulations
One of the first things that President Trump did in office was to reduce the number or burdensome regulations put in place during the Obama era. In January President Trump signed his 2 for 1 executive order mandating that for every new regulation, two regulations needed to be revoked. Even far left Politico notes that significant federal regulations since Trump’s inauguration have slowed to an almost total halt.
Regulations cost Americans and American companies money to implement and maintain. Reducing or halting regulations allows companies to spend their money on more prudent money making areas.
In Summary
Overall based on the above data it is clear that President Trump is doing a solid, if not excellent job.
The mainstream liberal media won’t report this, but when looking at the economy, President Trump the billionaire businessman crushes the former community organizer Barack Obama in every meaningful measurement. President Trump is enjoying massive success while the severely unqualified and nearly incompetent President Obama forced America through some of its worst years in history.
Texas Mosque Refuses To Help Refugees: ‘Allah Forbids Helping Infidels’
“The Quran is very clear,” Turads {of Ramashan Mosque} told local news radio station WXTX, “we are forbidden from helping infidels, no matter how much we want to. If we allow Christians and Jews inside, we are violating a fundamental tenant of Islam and will be punished by Allah.

TED KENNEDY AND THE KGB (to defeat Reagan 1984 election)
Here are excerpts from Frontpage Magazine, May 15, 2008.
Excerpts from the 2008 interview with the author.
FP: So what shockwaves did your exposure of this document set off in the media?
Kengor: Well, I thought it would be a bombshell, which it was, but only within the conservative media.
I prepared myself to be pilloried by the liberal mainstream media, figuring I’d be badgered with all kinds of hostile questions from defenders of Ted Kennedy. I still, at this very moment, carry photocopies and the documentation with me in my briefcase, ready for access at a moment’s notice. I’ve done that for two years now. The pages may soon begin to yellow.
I need not have bothered with any of this prep, since the media entirely ignored the revelation. In fact, the major reviewers didn’t even review the book. It was the most remarkable case of media bias I’ve ever personally experienced.
I couldn’t get a single major news source to do a story on it. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC. Not one covered it.
(snip)
If I may vent just a little more on the mainstream press, Jamie: There’s a bias there that really is incredibly troubling. Over and over again, I’ve written and submitted the most careful op-eds, trying to remove any partisan edge, on issues like Reagan and Gorbachev privately debating the removal of the Berlin Wall (I have de-classified documents on this in The Crusader as well), on Reagan’s fascinating relationship with RFK, on various aspects of the Cold War that are completely new, based on entirely new evidence from interviews and archives. When I submit these op-ed to the major newspapers, they almost always turn them down. The first conservative source that I send them to always jump at them. The liberals, however, are very close-minded. Nothing is allowed to alter the template. You can construct the most fair, iron-tight case, and they turn it down. This is not true for everything I write on the Cold War era, but no doubt for most of it. And certainly for the case of Senator Kennedy and this KGB document.
FP: How about trying to place some op-eds on the Kennedy document?
Kengor: Here again, all the mainstream sources turned me down. I had no alternative but to place the op-eds in the conservative outlets. Liberal editors blacklisted the piece. I began by sending a piece to the New York Times, where the editor is David Shipley, who’s extremely fair, and in fact has published me before, including a defense I wrote on the faith of George W. Bush. This one, however, he turned down. He liked it. It certainly had his intention. But he said he wouldn’t be able to get it into the page.
I sent it to the Boston Globe, three or four times, actually. I got no response or even the courtesy of an acknowledgment. It was as if the piece was dispatched to the howling wilderness of Siberia—right into the gulag—airbrushed from history.
"It was a May 14, 1983 letter from the head of the KGB, Viktor Chebrikov, to the head of the USSR, the odious Yuri Andropov, with the highest level of classification. Chebrikov relayed to Andropov an offer from Senator Ted Kennedy, presented by Kennedy’s old friend and law-school buddy, John Tunney, a former Democratic senator from California, to reach out to the Soviet leadership at the height of a very hot time in the Cold War."
(snip)
"The thrust of the letter is that Reagan had to be stopped, meaning his alleged aggressive defense policies, which then ranged from the Pershing IIs to the MX to SDI, and even his re-election bid, needed to be stopped. It was Ronald Reagan who was the hindrance to peace. That view of Reagan is consistent with things that Kennedy said and wrote at the time, including articles in sources like Rolling Stone (March 1984) and in a speeches like his March 24, 1983 remarks on the Senate floor the day after Reagan’s SDI speech, which he lambasted as “misleading Red-Scare tactics and reckless Star Wars schemes.”
Even more interesting than Kennedy’s diagnosis was the prescription: According to Chebrikov, Kennedy suggested a number of PR moves to help the Soviets in terms of their public image with the American public. He reportedly believed that the Soviet problem was a communication problem, resulting from an inability to counter Reagan’s (not the USSR’s) “propaganda.” If only Americans could get through Reagan’s smokescreen and hear the Soviets’ peaceful intentions.
So, there was a plan, or at least a suggested plan, to hook up Andropov and other senior apparatchiks with the American media, where they could better present their message and make their case. Specifically, the names of Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters are mentioned in the document. Also, Kennedy himself would travel to Moscow to meet with the dictator.
Time was of the essence, since Reagan, as the document privately acknowledged, was flying high en route to easy re-election in 1984."
