News Of The World

    Back in October, the U.S. Border Patrol was ordered to cut razor wire that the State of Texas had installed. Thanks to the efforts of wrongly impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton, the State of Texas successfully sued and was granted a stay against the federal government removing the razor wire. Now, on Jan. 2, 2024, the federal government has gone back to the federal judge who granted the stay and is seeking permission to begin cutting wire again.

    The federal government is not oblivious to what is happening. That is why, despite the ongoing crisis, the Biden administration has decided they would rather sue the State of Texas than allow it to protect its own citizens. Just this week, Biden’s partisan and weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) sent a letter to Governor Abbott claiming that the Biden DOJ will “pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government.”

    If it was not already clear enough, the federal government has openly declared war on our citizens, valuing future political power and drug cartel profits over our very lives. The federal government is now the enemy of the citizens of Texas and the nation.

(Emphasis added). 

    Among red states, Texas would gain four electoral votes; Florida would gain three; Idaho, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah would gain one each.

    Among blue states, California would lose four seats, New York would lose three, Illinois would lose two, and Minnesota, Oregon and Rhode Island would lose one seat each. 
 
Which must be why "WEF Calls for AI to Replace Voters: 'Why Do We Need Elections?'"--Slay News. "World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and chairman Klaus Schwab has called for members of the general public to be excluded from election processes, arguing that voters could be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI)," according to the article.
    According to the New York Post, which did some authentic street reporting on the impact of 2,000 illegal migrants in Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field:

Since mid-November, new lawlessness has plagued the area, with shoplifting, panhandling, gutter scams, and, according to some, signs of street prostitution.

And the once-serene, federally-run site — a historic former airfield off Flatbush Avenue near the Marine Parkway Bridge — has itself become an eyesore, where vicious brawls and pot-puffing are common, those living there said.

“This sh-t is out of control,” said a 20-year veteran NYPD cop when asked about the migrants at Floyd Bennett Field, a fraction of the 164,000 illegal border crossers bused to New York since spring 2022 — and 68,000 currently in the city’s care.

“That’s all these people do is rob and steal. They should feel lucky that they’re here, but they’re out there committing crimes. We don’t know anything about them. We don’t know what they’ve done in these other countries.”

They found hard police data to support the sentiment they found from the angry locals:

NYPD records from Nov. 27 through Jan. 7 show upticks in car thefts (37.5%), robberies (29.4%), and petit larceny (8.2%) in the 63rd Precinct, which covers the neighborhoods near Floyd Bennett Field, compared to the same period a year earlier. 
    Newly leaked data reveals that China recorded fewer than 8 million births in 2023. If that figure is confirmed, it will represent a decline of 17 percent from 2022, and an unfathomable drop of almost 60 percent since 2016.

    Yes, you read that correctly.

    In 2016, China - which has about 1.4 billion people - reported 18.8 million births, according to Caixin, a Beijing-based investigative magazine. (Although every Chinese news organization faces government censorship, Caixin is still reasonably reliable.)

    But by 2019, even before Covid and China’s harsh lockdowns, births had fallen to 14.7 million. Since then, they have plunged even faster. By one estimate, China had fewer children born in 2022 than it did in 1790.

As the article discusses, this is happening everywhere: Japan, South Korea, SE Asia, and Europe. And government subsidies don't seem to be helping. The author does not touch the real issues, but a couple of the people commenting do: it mostly comes down to a lack of faith.

  1. More than a lack of faith, it requires a stable civilization where women actually spend less time making powerpoints.
