After @JamesOKeefeIII exposed that the Casa Alitas Ramada Hotel in Tucson was housing illegals, I made a stop to see how American taxpayer dollars are being spent.

These NGOs aiding illegals are receiving federal dollars, and it’s Congress’ duty to provided oversight.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders say that State Representative Kevin Boyle is "seeking help" after a recent social media video apparently showed him intoxicated at a bar.
He is reportedly heard threatening to use his position to close the establishment and refusing to leave.
It's still unclear when exactly this happened, but Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders released this statement Friday night:
"We are aware of a video circulating on social media. It is very troubling. Rep. Boyle has been open about his personal challenges. We are encouraged that our colleague and dear friend is seeking help. Our commitment to delivering mental health services does not stop at the Capitol Steps. One of the main reasons we advocate so strongly for mental health access is the reality that challenges can and do happen to anyone, and seeking treatment should be encouraged, not stigmatized."
TPTB know they are being exposed on a daily basis and more and more people are
being red-pilled. They are not going to allow this years election in any way shape or form
if they can help it.

This comment came from Outlier on the double bag at Walmart joke. I felt it needed it's own post.
I have not hit the links added but definitely check them out. Irish.
Be thankful that you have different stores to choose from and can easily go to another one if you so desire.
Be thankful that you are free to choose from a huge variety of products (e.g. name brand, generic, large, small, bulk, etc).
Be
thankful that, for the moment, the prices are still reasonable. Read
about hyperinflation in Venezuela if you disagree (e.g. $35 USD for 18
eggs)*
Be thankful that you don't have to queue up in line at 5am and
wait 3+ hours just to get in the store. Again, read up about shopping
in Venezuela.
Be thankful that there are fresh fruits and vegetables available of so many varieties almost year round.
Be thankful that you don't have a weekly/monthly ration for what you are *allowed* to buy.
Be thankful that there is soap to buy.
Be thankful that ATMs work.
Be thankful your bank account wasn't frozen to "fight terrorism"**.
Be thankful for clean drinking water that works 24/7/365 and sewer and garbage service.
Be thankful that you don't have to choose between feeding your children and your pets (or yourself).
Prices of food in 2020.

The inflation we've seen is NOTHING compared to what's coming.
Quit complaining and start praying, praising, thanking, confessing, repenting, and forgiving.
For
a brutal education about life with hyperinflation I suggest reading
articles by Jose in Venezuela at the organic prepper website.

Here are a few examples:

who I've been chatting with says, one of the most impressive things is
the silence, once power is gone. The absolute dark, and the silence,
while the megaphones at the distance mercilessly keep repeating the
warnings about not going outside.

The hyperinflation in Venezuela made wages a complete joke. We’re talking about the equivalent of $3 USD per month.

From somewhere on twitter:
So l am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour "monitors" and then this happened.
Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me - excuse me?
Her - you are wasting our bags!
Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her - that's not my job!
Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.
Her - why are you using two bags?!
Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.
Her - exactly.
Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags.

Earlier today, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that, after four months of secrecy, The Firm™️ plans to release the text of the $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package—possibly as soon as tomorrow.
Wasting no time, she then asked, “if you get the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?”
The words “hell no” escaped my mouth before I could stop them. Those are strong words where I come from. (Sorry, Mom).
The reporter immediately understood that my frustration was not directed at her.
Rather, it was directed at the Law Firm of Schumer & McConnell (“The Firm™️”), which is perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt approach to legislating—in which The Firm™️
(1) spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy,
(2) aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications (good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives,
(3) lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours) before an arbitrary deadline imposed by The Firm™️ itself, always with a contrived sense of urgency, and then
(4) forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider, and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.
Whenever The Firm™️ engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate.
By so doing, The Firm™️ effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans—at least for purposes relevant to the legislation at hand—and that’s tragic.
It’s also unAmerican, uncivil, uncollegial, and really uncool.
So why does The Firm™️ do it?
Every time The Firm™️ utilizes this approach and the bill passes—and it nearly always does—The Firm™️ becomes more powerful.
The high success rate is largely attributable to the fact that The Firm™️ has become very adept at (a) enlisting the help of the (freakishly cooperative) news media, (b) exerting peer pressure in a way that makes what you experienced in middle school look mild by comparison, and (c) rewarding those who consistently vote with The Firm™️ with various privileges that The Firm™️ is uniquely capable of offering (committee assignments, help with campaign fundraising, and a whole host of other widely coveted things that The Firm™️ is free to distribute in any manner it pleases).
It’s through this process that The Firm™️ passes most major spending legislation.
It’s through this process that The Firm™️ likely intends to pass the still-secret, $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package, which The Firm™️ has spent four months negotiating, with the luxury of obsessing over every sentence, word, period, and comma.
I still don’t know exactly what’s in this bill, although I have serious concerns with it based on the few details The Firm™️ has been willing to share.
But under no circumstances should this bill — which would fund military operations in three distant parts of the world and make massive, permanent changes to immigration law — be passed next week.
Nor should it be passed until we have had adequate time to read the bill, discuss it with constituents, debate it, offer amendments, and vote on those amendments.
There’s no universe in which those things will happen by next week.
Depending on how long it is and the complexity of its provisions, the minimum period of time we should devote to this bill after it’s released should be measured in weeks or months, not days or hours.
