Nobody would live in England if they had a choice
It’s coming up on Thanksgiving, a time of year when many people rush about, buying turkeys, cranberry sauce, and all the other fixings — or maybe some of the fake/faux turkey, called tofurky, some crazy combination of tofu and turkey (and God only knows what else!).
Many people ponder about the things which they have to be thankful for this year. Some will be thankful for a job, others that they have no lost their home, and others, well, they will be thankful that they’ve not had anyone in uniform knock on their door to offer them the President’s sincerest sympathies and deep regret that a family member gave their life serving in the armed forces of the United States.
Hispanics don’t want immigration laws enforced, study finds
The Pew Hispanic Center, one of the Pew Research organizations, released a report back in September that I just came across as a result of re-reading a quote from back in 2000 from Bill Richardson.
The study, with a summary published on the Pew Hispanic Center’s site under the headline, “Hispanics See Their Situation in U.S. Deteriorating; Oppose Key Immigration Enforcement Measures”, seems to point out, without stating the fact, that the majority of people interviewed for opinions for the study were illegal aliens from Mexico or other Central or South American country.
Navarrette kicks Anti-American sentiment into illegal alien issue
Big mouth Ruben Navarrette, Jr., is once again in full-swing with his anti-American banter, this time by saying, (Americans are) so reluctant to accept any responsibility for illegal immigration — a self-inflicted wound that they bring upon themselves by aggressively hiring illegal immigrants — they can’t wait to pin the blame on Mexico and its leaders.
The problem with this comment is that Navarrette is seemingly accusing every American, or the majority of Americans, of personally hiring illegal Mexican immigrants. The fact is: illegal aliens come to the U.S., often buy forged documents, such as phony Social Security cards with legitimate Social Security numbers, as well as other forged documents, including driver’s licenses, and try to mix into American society.
Let the hipsters worry about it
It seems some five million of our oldest, as well as disabled, citizens, have not yet signed up for their Medicare Part D drug plan. To help them, what does Congress do? Decide to not grant them an extension.
Remember, the folks who qualify for Medicare are people who are old, who have paid into the system, and in many cases, confused by all the rhetoric of “the plan” the government is pushing.
As for the comic, here’s a hat tip to my friend, Stan M., for passing it along. The comic seems, sadly enough, to sum up the situation for many of our country’s oldest and most disabled.
