"Look, the border is secure" Will this be the hill POTUS Biden dies on in Jan, 2023? Or just some dirt added to the already tall pile? Benn predicting for quite a while Biden won't be POTUS very long after his 2nd year is up. You know it's bad when NYC & DC and other "haven cities" are complaining about it. Put em on a bus and send them to a sanctuary city while waiting for their court date - they'll show up...... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11032315/Alejandro-Mayorkas-says-border-secure-200-000-migrants-passing-month-three-month.html https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mayorkas-claims-southern-border-secure-historic-migrant-crisis-rages The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months. 'Look, the border is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Tuesday. But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border more secure.' 'That has been a historic challenge,' Mayorkas said, adding that there is a difference between the words 'safe' and 'secure.' But insistence that the border is secure comes amid a prevailing rise in crossings as well as complaints from New York City and Washington, D.C. that the crisis is finally hitting home after Arizona and Texas starting busing migrants to the city hubs to deal with them. Crossings are at an all-time high at this point in the year with nearly 1.75 million crossings in Fiscal Year 2022 with the release of June figures last week – and there are still three more months left to go before a total roundup for the year is counted. The last quarter's figures show that 200,000 migrants passed through the southern border every month for the last three months.

SF has many years of handgun practice, and being proficient, even I question my ability to engage a rifle shooter with a handgun from 30-40 yards. I guess you never know unless you are actually forced into that situation. All I know is I can hit a target pretty effectively at about 20 - 30 feet, but next time at the range I'll move the target to 40 yards and see if I can even hit the paper........

https://nypost.com/2022/07/17/minneapolis-mom-arabella-foss-yarbrough-who-was-targeted-by-gunman-yells-at-protesters/ A Minneapolis mom could be seen on video confronting Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside the home of a man who was fatally shot by police after a tense six-hour standoff. The mother, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, called police last Wednesday night after her neighbor Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg allegedly fired shots into her apartment as she was cooking for her two young children. The gunman was eventually shot dead Thursday morning by two Minneapolis police snipers. A pistol with an extended magazine and several bullet casings was recovered from his apartment. “This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough was seen yelling at a group of protesters on Saturday. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids.” Photos from inside Foss-Yarbrough’s home show multiple bullet holes in her front door, walls and just above her bathroom sink. Regardless of the circumstances of the shooting, BLM activists — including Trahern Crews, a lead organizer for BLM Minnesota — gathered outside the building on Saturday to demand justice for Sundberg. “We’re here to respect life, demand justice, and we’re demanding the release of the bodycam footage,” Crews chanted, according to the star Tribune. But when Foss-Yarbrough pulled her car up to the building, she unleashed on the protesters, who included Sundberg’s parents. “My kids have to deal with this and probably have a mental illness now because they almost lost their lives,” she said. “There’s bullet holes in my kitchen because he sat in the f–king hallway watching me move. He tried to kill me in front of my kids. “I have black children; I am a woman of color!” Foss-Yarbrough, who is of black, white and Native descent, then yelled. “If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?” “Yes, ma’am,” Crews responded. Minneapolis police said that they are working to release footage of the shooting to the public. The department said there were hundreds of hours of footage from more than 50 officers who responded to the scene. Sundberg’s family said he was having a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting. The 20-year-old shooter was adopted from Ethiopia and had many siblings, according to CBS Minnesota. Sundberg’s parents were outside the building when Foss-Yarbrough confronted the protesters. They said they empathized with their neighbor. “I wish I could wrap my arms around her and tell her I’m so sorry,” Cindy Sundberg said. “I’m so sorry she had to experience that, I’m so sorry for her pain. “Tekle was an imperfect human as we are all imperfect humans and he did not deserve to be picked off like an animal from a rooftop,” his mother said. SF is thinking mental crisis or not, an armed shooter needed shot. A six hour standoff is hardly a racial "murder by cops". (IMHO) Totally agree with miss Arabella Foss-Yarbrough - don't blame the LEO's this time. Also noteworthy - the pictures of the BLM protesters indicate a mostly white crowd.......

WTG Fox 59......SF did not expect to see this headline..... "Good guy with a gun shoots Bad guy with a gun BUT he broke the mall rules........?" https://fox59.com/news/good-samaritan-with-a-gun-stopped-greenwood-park-mall-shooting-went-against-malls-code-of-conduct/ ‘Good Samaritan’ with a gun stopped Greenwood Park Mall shooting, went against mall’s code of conduct GREENWOOD, Ind. — While police are crediting a Bartholomew County man for shooting and killing a suspect in the Greenwood Park Mall shooting, mall policy states he should not have been carrying to begin with. Greenwood Police Chief James Ison confirmed Sunday that the shooter was shot and killed by a man visiting the mall. The Good Samaritan, as police called him, was armed with a handgun. “The real hero of the day was the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Ison said. Police say the 22-year-old from Bartholomew County had a legal gun permit. However, according to mall policy, the man should not have been carrying his handgun in the mall in the first place. Last updated in April 2020, Simon Property Group states in its code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers. The group is the owner of the Greenwood Park Mall. The property group has worked with Greenwood police for several planned security technology upgrades after recent incidents at the mall including two incidents where employees were held at gunpoint in the parking lot. These upgrades include license plate readers installed at mall entrances. Despite not following the mall’s code of conduct, Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers says the man saved lives. We reached out to Simon Properties Sunday evening for a statement about the shooting. A spokesperson declined to comment, instead referring us to Greenwood Police. ALSO - WTF is a "Long-Gun Rifle"? https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/17/us/indiana-greenwood-park-mall-shooting/index.html In the Greenwood mall shooting, the gunman apparently used a long-gun rifle, Ison said, though law enforcement had not immediately recovered any weapons from the scene.

So I'm reading the story of the shooting in Greenwood. The shooter was stopped by a another armed citizen. SF is wondering how the news is going to report this in the morning.

Just when you think this President couldn't possibly get any worse........Oil from the SPR is actually being EXPORTED. Total SMH, WTF moment. This is supposed to help the US oil prices in what way? The SPR is at the lowest point since 1986 and we're exporting from it???? What am I missing here? SF thinks the President is really trying to hurt the economy, not help it......IDK..... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-u-reserves-head-overseas-110438345.html?fs=e&s=cl By Arathy Somasekhar HOUSTON (Reuters) - More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency oil reserves release aimed at lowering domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices touched record highs. The export of crude and fuel is blunting the impact of the moves by U.S. President Joe Biden designed to lower record pump prices. Biden on Saturday renewed a call for gasoline suppliers to cut their prices, drawing criticism from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. About 1 million barrels per day is being released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) through October. The flow is draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986. U.S. crude futures are above $105 per barrel and gasoline and diesel prices above $5 a gallon in one-fifth of the nation https://gasprices.aaa.com/. U.S. officials have said oil prices could be higher if the SPR had not been tapped. The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66, shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe. Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies, exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed. Phillips 66 declined to comment on trading activity. ATMI did not respond to a request for comment. Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said. At least one cargo of crude from the West Hackberry SPR site in Louisiana was set to be exported in July, a shipping source added. "Crude and fuel prices would likely be higher if (the SPR releases) hadn't happened, but at the same time, it isn't really having the effect that was assumed," said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at Kpler. The latest exports follow three vessels that carried SPR crude to Europe in April helping replace Russian crude supplies. U.S. crude inventories are the lowest since 2004 as refineries run near peak levels. Refineries in the U.S. Gulf coast were at 97.9% utilization, the most in three and a half years.

Another example of one of the "Stars" of the left being "loved" by their adoring public......consisting of mainly Somalis..........SF seriously thinks the left has NO idea how bad the 2022 midterms are going to be for them...... https://nypost.com/2022/07/04/rep-ilhan-omar-booed-at-minnesota-concert-appearance/ Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar was met by a chorus of boos and calls to “get the f–k out” when she appeared onstage at a music festival in Minneapolis over the weekend. Video from Saturday night’s event featuring Somali singer Suldaan Seeraar showed Omar (D-Minn.), the first Somali American elected to Congress, walk onto the stage with her husband, Tim Mynett. The crowd at the Target Center promptly unleashed a torrent of boos that lasted for more than a minute. Others in the mostly Somali audience shouted “Get out” and some yelled “Get the f–k out of here.” Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad” that includes Bronx and Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), tried to calm the unruly gathering. “OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, we don’t have all night,” Rep. Ilhan Omar told the crowd. Twitter/@LeftismForU Video on Omar’s Twitter account shows her taking the stage, but the clip is cut off 14 seconds in, when the booing begins. It’s unclear what sparked the outburst against Omar, but the Republican challenging the two-term incumbent suggested her comments on LGBTQ issues and opposition to the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade played a role. ”Ilhan Omar’s BOOOD by nearly 10K SOMALIS at a sold out, highly anticipated Somali music concert at Target Center in Minneapolis!,” Shukri Abdirahman posted on Twitter, linking to the video. “This’s what she gets for trading her Godly, Conservative values for the sinful LGBTQIA’s & the promiscuous abortionists.” The jeers may also have been a response to comments Omar made during a town hall event last week — during which she said she experienced more violence in her adopted home state than in a Kenyan refugee camp. “For four years [in the camp] I did not witness that kind of violence … My first year in Minnesota I both saw a person shot at Peavey Park, dead on the floor, three weeks after my father and I arrived in Minneapolis,” the congresswoman said June 30. “Six months later I watched the Minneapolis police put 38 bullets into the body of a mentally disabled Somali immigrant who didn’t speak English. “So [for] six years I had the privilege of not seeing any violence until I moved to Minnesota.” Omar, who also has a history of anti-Semitic comments, is heavily favored to win a third term representing her district, which covers all of the city of Minneapolis.

https://realnewsmichiana.com/2022/06/29/update-south-bend-teacher-who-moonlights-as-pornstar-fired/ FTA: SOUTH BEND, Ind. — REAL News Michiana has confirmed the teacher at South Bend’s DoD STARBASE has been fired from her job. This comes after RNM uncovered the teacher also moonlights as a pornstar, selling full-body nude photos of herself on the website, Onlyfans.com. Sarah Seales, who also goes by Sarah Juree, posted to her social media accounts that she was fired on June 27th, a day after RNM reached out to the school regarding Seales. Sources at the Indiana National Guard Armory, where the school is located, also confirmed Seales termination. The school has also scrubbed Seales bio from its website. WHAT IS STARBASE? DoD STARBASE is a collaboration between school districts and the military, offering classes and camps in the STEM field across the country, mainly for children in 5th grade. South Bend’s STARBASE school is located at the National Guard Armory off of Kemble Avenue on the southwest side of town. Several local schools have partnerships with the program, where they send children for week of hands-on STEM based learning. According to the Indiana National Guard website, “STARBASE is a Department of Defense educational program with four locations in Indiana, including Fort Wayne, South Bend, Gary and Indianapolis, residing at the Stout Field headquarters campus of the Indiana National Guard. Indiana STARBASE students participate in challenging “hands-on, minds-on” experiential activities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in an environment that is both technological and that exposes them to positive civilian and military role models in their communities. The free, five-day, 25-hour intensive program is designed at the 5th grade level for an entire class (up to 32 students), and STARBASE also provides summer camps for individual students wishing to participate in the program.” THE TEACHER Before scrubbing her bio from the school website, it showed Seales uses the nickname “Buttercup.” RNM confirmed Seales had her students call her “Buttercup” as well. Seales also advertises her pornography page on her open and public social media accounts, including Facebook and Instagram. “Buttercup” is also the name she uses on her pornography page. It also appears Seales was married to a convicted child molestor for some time. A man, who appears to have been her husband until 2018 was convicted of Child Molestation in 1998 and spent 3 years in prison. RNM reached out to Seales on Facebook to get her comments on the pornography page. Seales initially lied, claiming her page was “clean.” However, RNM has obtained nearly a dozen full-body nude photos that she sells to people on the site. RNM has blacked out Seales’ breasts and vagina in the following images. After RNM provided Seales with one of the nude photos she sold on the site, she threatened to file lawsuit against the news agency. Seales and a friend of hers then took to social media to lambast RNM’s journalist for working on the story. Seales once again lied, claiming her page was “clean.” She then claimed that RNM is attacking professional women with “stolen intimate content.” CENSORSHIP RNM published a preview of the story to Facebook on Sunday night. The post, which described the story RNM planned to publish this week, was reported and RNM was prevented from posting anything on the site for 3 days. Meaning, RNM cannot share the story regarding the teacher on the social media platform until late Wednesday evening. SF wonders where the GID peeps fall on this issue. SF had a (kinda) similar occurrence whilst my kids were in school, one of the teachers actually was a stripper and I had the experience of running into her at a bachelor party years before. SF certainly viewed her in a different way, but there was never any incident or evidence of any of her outside personal activities seeping into the classroom, so nothing was ever said or a fuss ever made. This one is distinctly different however, and it is a private program school, so they have the latitude to hire/fire as they see fit. How would you feel if this were your kid's teacher in a public school setting? Would you be OK with this given the depth of the social media available to kids nowadays? IDK if I would. The reporter said this tip came from a concerned parent of a student in her program who had attempted to pass this on to other news outlets but was turned down.

IDK - wouldn't you think, if you were the congress-thing (not sure how M... Cheney identifies) questioning witnesses in front of the US population and the world, that if a witness said that someone told her something about the President assaulting a Secret Service agent(s) you would want to speak to those agents? OR - the MSM reporting on the same would be interested in pursuing a collaboration of said story? Only if you were seeking the truth I guess.

Love him or hate him, Piers Morgan is entertaining in this shudder producing op-ed......A scary thing to think about for me since I have been predicting since before his swearing in the elected Former Vice President Biden now the "elected by the most votes in Presidential history 🤣" current POTUS won't be in office much after 1/20/23..... https://nypost.com/2022/06/28/if-you-think-joe-biden-is-bad-just-imagine-president-kamala/ Picture the scene: It’s July 4, 2023, and President Kamala Harris is about to address the American people about Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Poland. She’s been leader of the free world for six months since Joe Biden, implementing the 25th Amendment, abruptly resigned on the grounds of physical and mental incapacity after the Democrats suffered the worst mid-term election mauling in history, losing 120 House seats and eight Senate seats. This beat Grover Cleveland’s ignominious long-held record since 1892 of ‘biggest midterm wipe-out ever’ and meant the Republicans seized back full control of Congress with paralyzing agenda-wrecking majorities. (It was reported that Biden fell into a spontaneous catatonic state after seeing the sheer size of his failure to persuade Americans he was doing a good job, though it took White House aides several days to realize he wasn’t acting normally.) President Harris’ tenure in office has bordered on the miraculous, in that she has managed to be even worse than her predecessor — something political experts didn’t think possible. In fact, her presidency has been a catalogue of calamities, dominated by woke-ravaged lunacy. Her first decision was to make fresh-person congress-person Megan Rapinoe her vice-president, saying how delighted she was to appoint the first gay woman to such high office – only for Rapinoe to wreck the historic moment by issuing a furious statement saying she now identified as a non-binary bi-sexual womb-carrier, so had never been so offended and was quitting before she even started. If Kamala Harris were president, Megan Rapinoe would be vice president. Dustin Bradford/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Rapinoe was persuaded to stay on when Harris agreed to ditch the moniker ‘Madam President’ and be addressed in future as ‘President of Indeterminate Gender’, and campaign for all US sport to now be gender neutral to guarantee “fairness, equality and inclusion.” (Thus, Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics was entirely made up of biological males and smashed every women’s Olympic record to smithereens. “This is what progressive progress looks like!” said a delighted Harris.) Schools are in meltdown after she made Meghan Markle the new Education Secretary and her first action was to make it a firing offense for teachers to even mention the names of “toxically masculine” American icons like Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, Neil Armstrong and Mickey Mantle because they all “looked like the cruel white supremacists in the royal family” from whom she was forced to escape. Illegal immigration has exploded after Harris declared an immediate path to full US citizenship for anyone who now turns up to attempt illegal entry on the southern border and identifies as a legal immigrant, saying: “Self-identity is the bedrock of this administration. Under my presidency-of-indeterminate-gender, people have the right to be who they want to be! Hahahaha!” To which critics responded by suggesting she was now self-identifying as a blithering idiot. A President Kamala would be even worse than her predecessor. Jacquelyn Martin/AP Crime has also dramatically increased after President Harris’s new Secretary for Homeland Security, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, introduced a substantial defunding of the police which led to instant widespread lawlessness. Meghan Markle, President Kamala Harris’ Secretary of Education. Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Without a scintilla of self-awareness, the two women had proudly unveiled their “No cops, no fear” policy from inside the impregnable bomb-proof White House Situation Room, behind a wall of heavily armed secret service agents. Gas prices are now $12 a gallon after Harris signed an emergency executive order banning all US government dealings with Saudi Arabia, something she announced with a lengthy uncontrollable cackle and the words, “Joe was so weak with these misogynist monsters, hahahaha, I’ll show ‘em what feminist empowerment really looks like, hahaha!” The Saudis responded by saying “This is why we don’t let women drive cars” and giving all their oil to China and Russia, massively worsening America’s energy supply crisis. Inflation has continued surging to 15%, a full-blown recession is now raging, another great depression is looming, and her only response has been to give an interview to Jen Psaki on MSNBC in which she smirked, nodded smugly, and said: “You know me, Jen, I’m a detail kinda gal, and I can assure you I know EXACTLY what the problem is, I’m focusing very HARD on the problem, I’m sure I’ll SOLVE the problem, although I can’t say how I’ll do that yet, and anyway, things are way WORSE in Venezeula so we really do need some perspective here, people – AM I RIGHT, JEN?! Hahahaha.” If President Harris’ domestic agenda is a disaster, then her performance on the international stage has been a catastrophe of Biblical proportions. She withdrew all US weapons supplies to President Zelensky in Ukraine after discovering he had cracked “totally, like, inappropriate” trans jokes when he was a comedian. This woeful inaction of woke-induced military hardware cancel culture promptly emboldened Russia to attack and successfully seize Kyiv, thus completing their illegal takeover of the entire country. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would become President Kamala Harris’ Secretary for Homeland Security. Andrew Harnik/AP/Bloomberg via Getty Images And she summarily ended the “Special Relationship” with Britain after it was revealed that Prime Minister, Boris Johnson had been taking the title too literally and been caught having an illicit affair with the new US Ambassador to London, Jane Hartley. “I can’t abide immorality,” said the woman who once had a lengthy fling with a married man twice her age and held a webcast debate about “empowering women and girls” …with Bill Clinton. Jussie Smollett, President Kamala Harris’ Chief of Staff. Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic But her most shocking move was to unilaterally disarm the United States of all its nuclear weapons because Putin said he would too if America went first. “It’s funny, hahaha,” she laughed, loudly, on her return from Moscow, “but I trust Vladimir, hahahaha. We have peace in our time!” Of course, like Hitler in 1939, Putin went back on his word, and has now attacked Poland, telling NATO if they respond then he will nuke them to rubble. So, it’s Independence Day 2023, and President Harris, flanked by her Chief of Staff Jussie Smollett for support if she needs to play the faux victim card, is about to address the American people, and the watching world, and she doesn’t know what to say. As the camera goes live, she nervously giggles and gurns, frantically strokes her hair, then stares ahead like the most terrified rabbit ever trapped in headlights, and finally stammers: “Well…hahaha…. at least y’all know now what I meant by the significance of the passage of time! RIGHT?! My presidency’s been the most significantly dreadful in the whole passage of time! HAHAHAHA!” Seventeen months later, Ron DeSantis is elected President of the United States after the biggest election victory in US history.
