Its a dark day indeed in "social" justice ("justice" requires no modifiers) history.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Just because New York media run a transidiocy story every day doesn't mean we have to see it here. Not even curiosity about the host's obsession makes it worth me clicking through to read those posts. OTOH the discussion of free speech is lively and reminds me what this blog used to be like before the transcrazies took over so much real estate.; 5/24/23, 11:55 AM

In 2023, a major candidate for president of the United States [Meatball Ron] is paying court to an erratic, decompensating, narcissistic, endlessly needy, petulant man-child, [Elmo the Musk] who has spent the past few months posting poop emojis, taking counsel from someone called "catturd", and destroying the social media platform he bought on a whim.

So, because it is 2023, it was inevitable that he would fancy himself a kingmaker; and that politicians would indulge his fantasy. Meatball is also now at the mercy of Elon’s whims.

Just days ago, Musk was emoting over Tim Scott; and tomorrow he may decide that DeSantis is a cold product. He could endorse, unendorse, praise, mock, embrace, and discard the Florida man in one of his 24-hour manic bursts of assholery.; 5/24/23, 12:17 PM

MadTownGuy said...: New York sheriff calls for more border patrol agents as crossings in Northeast rise tenfold over last year (The Hill)

"A county sheriff in New York state is calling for more border patrol agents in the region as it experiences a tenfold increase in border crossings over the last year, according to NBC News.

David Favro, the sheriff for Clinton County in the northeastern corner of New York, said his department is seeing “more and more people” attempt to cross the Canadian border, which he noted “can be deadly terrain if you’re not familiar with it.”

“The only way to really be able to cover and protect [the northern border] is boots on the ground,” Favro said, per NBC News.

The portion of the nation’s northern border spanning eastern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire has seen a tenfold increase in illegal border crossings in the last five months compared to the same time last year, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Nearly 2,000 migrants, primarily from Mexico, attempted to cross the U.S.-Canada border in the region from October 2022 to February 2023. Over the same period last year, only 200 migrants attempted to make the crossing.

CBP announced earlier this month that it would assign 25 additional border agents to the section of the northern border. While about 16,000 border agents cover the 2,000-mile border with Mexico, about 2,000 agents cover the 5,000-mile border with Canada, according to NBC News.

Crossing the northern border comes with its own perils. Favro’s team helped rescue a group of 39 migrants last weekend, some of whom had their clothes frozen to their bodies, NBC News reported. A local fire chief recently also helped rescue two migrants who got stuck in an icy swamp and needed treatment for frostbite and mild hypothermia."; 5/24/23, 6:43 PM
