"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
MS-13 gang members commit savage crimes beheading their targets with machetes, hacking off their hands, burning them to death, dismembering them. Demonic acts. If you think these crimes won't happen where you live, keep reading.
The gang's rule is "kill, rape, control." Members are required to kill. MS-13 brings terror to neighborhoods and even schoolyards. In the New York City area, MS-13 has been linked to more than 65 murders since 2009. President Joe Biden could care less. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is cracking down, jailing tens of thousands of suspected gang members and causing others to flee that country. But not Biden. He's shepherding migrants into the country and releasing them as fast as possible without vetting them for gang affiliations or criminal records.
The deadly consequences were on display May 23 when the House Judiciary Committee heard about the murder of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton. Hamilton was raped, stabbed and bludgeoned to death in July 2022. Local Maryland police arrested a 16-year-old MS-13 gang member. He had entered the U.S. just three months earlier and was welcomed into custody as an unaccompanied minor. Had Border Patrol vetted him, they would have learned he had been arrested in El Salvador for "illicit association" with MS-13. Aberdeen, Maryland police found that out with one phone call to Salvadoran authorities. When arrested, the teen had tattoos that linked him to MS-13. The House investigation concluded that federal authorities had "failed to implement basic screening and vetting measures" and showed "callous disregard for the safety of Americans."
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who served under former President Donald Trump and then Biden until August 2021, testified that the Biden administration is "laser-focused on expediting the processing and flow of migrants into the U.S." and "refused to accept the significant vulnerability this creates." Any migrants under 18, or feigning to be, get kid-glove treatment by the Biden administration. No wonder the number of unaccompanied minors has surged more than 400% under Biden. About 30% of MS-13 gang members arrested in recent years by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) entered the U.S. as unaccompanied minors. It's a racket. If you're thinking kids with teddy bears, you're mistaken. Over 70% of actual unaccompanied minors are teens ages 15 to 17, and some adults falsely pose as minors.
Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., told the House hearing about a 24-year-old Honduran man who posed as an unaccompanied minor, then murdered a resident of Rutherford's district: "The [Border Patrol's] default position seems to be, 'If you can't figure out who they are, let them in.'" Vetting is minimal. Federal authorities have removed just 409 of 345,000 unaccompanied minors in the last three years, a minuscule one- twelfth of 1%. Unaccompanied minors are handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services to be housed temporarily, with schooling and recreation costing taxpayers $18,000 per minor. Then they are placed with a guardian somewhere in the U.S. The top five destinations are Texas, California, Florida, New York and New Jersey.
New Yorkers need to know more about the so-called unaccompanied minors getting off buses at Port Authority and being placed in local public schools. Biden's see-no-evil approach is the exact opposite of his predecessor's. Trump tagged MS-13 public enemy No. 1. In a State of the Union message, he recounted how MS-13 filled a Suffolk County high school with fear and slaughtered two girls there. Calling MS-13 "animals," he detained as many suspected gang members as possible until they reached age 18 and could be handed over to ICE for possible deportation.
The liberal press bashed Trump's approach, calling it "disproportionate to its impact" and denying that MS-13 is a "major criminal presence." They were wrong. One week ago in Suffolk County, an MS-13 gang member pleaded guilty to luring an 18-year-old man to a baseball field where he and other gang members beat the kid to death with a baseball bat and chopped him to bits with a machete, nearly amputating his hands.
Had enough?
Tell Biden to stop sending these MS-13 brutes to our communities. As for Mayor Eric Adams' new suggestion that New Yorkers open their homes to unvetted migrants, who would be so reckless?"

Even though most Americans arent paying much attention at this point, the way that the war in Ukraine is evolving should greatly concern all of us. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his generals very clearly understand that they are in very big trouble unless they can draw the U.S. and other NATO powers directly into the conflict. All of Bakhmut is now under Russian control, and the Ukrainians continue to lose troops at a staggering pace. They are holding a losing hand, but if Ukrainian leaders can find a way to get the Russians to use tactical nukes or other weapons of mass destruction, that would change everything. Western powers would feel compelled to respond in kind, and then we really would have a truly apocalyptic conflict on our hands.
In recent days, there has been a tremendous amount of hype about the coming counter-offensive that the Ukrainians have supposedly been planning Kyiv renewed its plea for operational silence around the long-awaited counter-offensive against Russian forces with a clip of heavily-armed soldiers pressing their fingers to their lips. The sleekly-produced footage features masked front-line troops gesturing for silence amid the distant rumble of artillery and gunfire. It ends with images of soaring F-16 fighter jets long coveted by Kyiv as it seeks to boost its air defence against Russian missiles and drones.
But instead of trying to retake Bakhmut or any of the other areas of Ukraine that the Russians have captured, the Ukrainians have been focusing their attacks on Russia itself. Long-range drones have been hitting targets very deep inside Russia, and on one occasion that even included the Kremlin. And Ukrainian artillery has been relentlessly pounding Russian territory. The shelling has been particularly brutal in the Belgorod region
Ukrainian forces continued to shell Russias border region of Belgorod overnight into Sunday after two people were killed the previous night and hundreds of children were evacuated away from the border, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Overnight, it was quite restless, Gladkov said on the Telegram channel, adding that the Shebekino and Volokonovsky districts had suffered lots of damage from the latest shelling. Shelling civilian targets in Russian territory is going to do nothing to help the Ukrainians regain lost territory. But it is putting enormous pressure on Russian leaders.
Just imagine how we would feel if U.S. territory was being shelled. We would be calling on the White House to nuke the living daylights out of whoever was shelling us. Well, that is exactly how millions upon millions of Russian citizens feel right now. And what makes things even worse is that small militia groups have begun crossing the Russian border to conduct attacks on nearby cities
The New York Times wrote on Saturday that Shebekino, a town of 40,000 six miles from the border, has effectively become a new part of the front line as Ukraine has intensified attacks inside Russia, including on residential areas near its own borders. This is all upending the lives of residents in the border region, akin to what already happened long ago on the Ukrainian side of the border. The spate of assaults, most recently by militia groups aligned against Moscow, has sparked the largest military evacuation effort in Russia in decades, the report underscored. The past days have witnessed area residents move into temporary shelters, including the large Belgorod arena in the oblast capital.
The militia groups that are performing these raids are actually using equipment that has been provided by the U.S. and Poland The Russian fighters aligned against Moscow who launched a cross-border raid from Ukraine into the Belgorod region of Russia last week used at least four tactical vehicles originally given to Ukraine by the United States and Poland, U.S. officials said, raising questions about the unintended use of NATO-provided equipment and Kyivs commitments to secure materiel supplied by its supporters.
Three of the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, also known as MRAPs, taken into Russia by the fighters were provided by the United States and the fourth was from Poland, according to people familiar with the U.S. intelligence finding, which has not previously been reported. Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue. And it is being reported that Polish fighters are among those that have been going across the border during these raids
The Polish Volunteer Corps has published pictures, confirming it participated in the first armed raid into the Belgorod region, Russia, together with the Russian Volunteer Corps. Russian soldiers claimed earlier they heard some of the enemies communicating in Polish.
This war has reached such a dangerous stage.
The Russians arent stupid. They know that foreign fighters now make up a very significant percentage of the forces that they are facing. And if Russian cities continue to get shelled and raided, it is only a matter of time before Russian leaders lose their temper. If the Russians decide to use tactical nukes, it really will be the beginning of the end. So let us pray that cooler heads will prevail.
Meanwhile, things with China continue to get even more tense. On Saturday, a Chinese warship and an American warship almost slammed directly into one another in the Taiwan Strait This is the astonishing moment a Chinese warship comes within 150 yards of an American destroyer in Taiwan Strait, just days after the Pentagon said it would not stand for bullying by Beijing. Footage obtained by Global News, shows a Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warship cut across the bow of a U.S. guided-missile destroyer on Saturday while it was transiting the Taiwan Strait. USS Chung Hoon and HMCS Montreal had also been transiting the strait on a rare joint mission when a PLAN warhsip cut across the bow of Chung-Hoon.
We really are living during a time of wars and rumors of wars, but most of us in the western world are focused on other things. Even though our leaders have clearly demonstrated how incompetent they are over and over again, most of us just assume that they will be able to keep us out of a nuclear war. Unfortunately, both sides just continue to escalate matters, and it appears that it is just a matter of time before someone crosses a line that will never be able to be uncrossed."

"Neighborhood Bully" (To be sung to "Neighborhood Bully" by Bob Dylan)
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man, His enemies say he's on their land. They got him outnumbered about a million to one, He got no place to escape to, no place to run. He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive. He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin, He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in. He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land, He's wandered the earth an exiled man. Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn, He's always on trial for just being born. He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized, Old women condemned him, said he should apologize. Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad. The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad. He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him, 'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac. He's the neighborhood bully.
He got no allies to really speak of. What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love. He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side. He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace, They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease. Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep. They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep. He's the neighborhood bully.
Every empire that's enslaved him is gone, Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon. He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand, In bed with nobody, under no one's command. He's the neighborhood bully.
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon, No contract he signed was worth what it was written on. He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth, Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health. He's the neighborhood bully.
What's anybody indebted to him for? Nothin', they say. He just likes to cause war. Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed, They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed. He's the neighborhood bully.
What has he done to wear so many scars? Does he change the course of rivers? Does he pollute the moon and stars? Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill, Running out the clock, time standing still, Neighborhood bully.

Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run, the highway is my home I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days While Mama used to pray my crops would fail Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
CHORUS I'd like to settle down but they won't let me A fugitive must be a rolling stone Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run, the highway is my home

I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury Of having one I love to come along She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me For he who travels fastest goes alone

That man coached some football...and he camped with Weeb'los... While defending his Country each day! 'Cuz he was a patriot...promoted to Captain... An aircraft carrier he did sail!!
Went to war with the Navy...while Sue loved his babies... Traded audiotapes ev'ry week. 'Cuz he knew what mattered, the Old World was shatterin'... And Socialists SLAUGHTER the meek!! While the bombs were a'fallin', he was recallin'... His kin and his li'l town. And he fought fer his Nation, secured the oceans... Returned to Norfolk and cheerin' crowds.
(Mudboy on harp...)
Now he lives near the beach, man...golfs on the weekends... And starts cheerin' his Redskins each May. Tracin' his kin's roots, buyin' up Richmond, With his many grandkids he'd play. Through sixty-odd years of perpetual motion... Ask this sailor and he'll smile and he'll say, "Son, my life's been magic...not much has been tragic... And I look forward to every day!!"
He is from Kansas...where Honor still matters... And Dorothy found her rainbow!!

What is going to happen to our banking system as trillions of dollars worth of commercial real estate loans go bad? Many months ago, I warned that the greatest commercial real estate crisis in U.S. history was coming. At the time, a lot of people didnt believe me and that was fine. As with so many other things, all I needed to do to be proven right was to wait. Sadly, a commercial real estate tsunami is now here, and it appears to be accelerating even faster than many of the experts had been anticipating. Just within the past few weeks, there have been several more high profile defaults, and San Francisco has become the epicenter of this crisis.
On Monday, we learned that Westfield has decided to purposely default on a 558 million dollar loan on the San Francisco Centre mall Shopping center giant Westfield is walking away from its San Francisco Centre mall, becoming the latest major company to leave the California city amid rampant crime problems. Westfield confirmed to FOX Business Monday that the company and partner Brookfield Properties earlier this month stopped making payments on a $558 million loan securing the San Francisco Centre property.
Do you remember in 2008 when millions of Americans that were underwater on their mortgages simply walked away from them? Well, now the same thing is happening, except that instead of homes we are talking about shopping malls and office buildings. The San Francisco Centre mall was the most important retail destination in downtown San Francisco. But sales have been declining for some time, and just like Park Hotels & Resorts, Westfield is identifying rapidly deteriorating conditions in the downtown area as one of the primary reasons for leaving the city
Given the challenging operating conditions in downtown San Francisco, which have led to declines in sales, occupancy and foot traffic, we have made the difficult decision to begin the process to transfer management of the shopping center to our lender to allow them to appoint a receiver to operate the property going forward.
Westfields move comes less than a week after Park Hotels & Resorts announced it had handed two prominent hotels back to the bank. The real estate investment trust said it was abandoning the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55, saying the citys streets are unsafe and expressing doubts about the areas ability to recover.
San Francisco was once such a beautiful city. But now one of the wealthiest cities in the entire world is being systematically transformed into a hellhole, and it is all thanks to the progressive policies of the citys leaders Westfields struggles will pile fresh pressure on city leaders, after multiple retailers and hotels shuttered in downtown San Francisco as it continues to battle soaring crime, open drug use and homelessness. The famously progressive city has been condemned for its harm reduction policies, which critics say have effectively legalized drug taking. Meanwhile, its police department remains short-staffed after woke lawmakers called for defunding in the wake of George Floyds murder.
Even Twitter has decided to walk away. The company has not been paying rent on Twitter headquarters for months, and Elon Musk has confirmed that there is no plan to ever restart payments Twitter ceased paying its rent in November, the report says, and CEO Elon Musk has said he doesnt intend on restarting payments. Those payments would go to Columbia Property, a REIT that Goldman has lent $1.7 billion to, in a consortium with (of course) Deutsche Bank. Sadly, this is only just the beginning.
As retailers and businesses leave the downtown areas of our major cities, a lot more defaults will inevitably happen. In New York City, the office occupancy rate was close to 100 percent before the pandemic. Now it is hovering around 50 percent.
Of course this commercial real estate tsunami is not the only crisis that we are facing. The residential real estate bubble has also started to burst, and sales have been falling all over the nation for months. Higher interest rates will continue to put downward pressure on home prices, and many analysts are extremely concerned that foreclosure filings have begun to surge May foreclosure-related filings, which include default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, were up 7% from April and up 14% from a year ago, to 35,196 properties, according to the real estate data group ATTOM.
Meanwhile, large companies all over America continue to conduct mass layoffs. As I discussed in a previous article, the number of announced job cuts in the United States during the first five months of this year was 315 percent higher than the number of announced job cuts during the same period last year. And we are being told that the number of media industry layoffs so far this year is the largest figure ever recorded The media industry has announced at least 17,436 job cuts so far this year, marking the highest year-to-date level of cuts on record, according to a new report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Despite everything that I just shared with you, many of the experts in the mainstream media continue to insist that the economy is in fine shape. I honestly do not know how they can say that with a straight face. But they are saying it. Just like in 2008, they simply do not want to believe what is happening right in front of their eyes, and they arent interested in ominous warnings about our long-term future either.
In the short-term, our economic problems are going to continue to intensify in the months ahead. In the long-term, we are going to have a real nightmare on our hands. But for now, millions upon millions of Americans continue to trust those that are telling them that brighter days are ahead, and so they are doing nothing to prepare for the great storm that is rapidly approaching.

Billy, King from Arkansas, it's not tooo early fer leavin'... The Country's grown tired of yer scumbag style... And yer Outlaw "Charm"'s become unseemly!! Billy, Left's King, your Untruths are revilin'... No, yer not too great to denigrate, the Nation's just realizin'...
Well, I'm just a lone EX-DemocRAT [not really], home-building's my trade... But I've been sickened by your scand'lous acts, You're a Danger to the State!! Willie, VILE King, your blows 'gainst FReedom are missin'!! No-o-o, you're not Man enough for me to hate, so wisen up and listen!!
No, the White House ain't fer TRAITORS... You're supposed to be PROTECTIN' our borders! Yeah...while your close friends serve as martyrs, You're the one who's givin' the orders!! No, Left cannot go on livin' this LIE... And you're not fit fer leadin'!! Ohhh...you let the Red Chinese infiltrate... While Lady Justice's bleedin'....
Billy, King from Arkansas. your vile spin is deceivin'... And your schtick's so great, I took the bait, And you almost had me believin'. But in your face, Willie, I can see a likeness to the Juice!! No, I don't know how you can look me in the eye, While obstructin' the goddamn truth!!
But I know a place where you can go, Willie, Where you can get a new job and start all over again, "clean"!! Ohhh, you got contacts deep in China, boy... Where Tyrants slaughter folks like me....!!

"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
H[Am]ello darkness my old fri[G]end, I've come to talk with you ag[Am]ain. Because a vi[C]sion softl[F]y creep[C] Left it's seed while I w[F]as sleep[C]ing, And the vis[F]ion that was planted in my br[C]ain Still rem[Am]ains Wit[C]hin the s[G]ounds of si[Am]lence.
In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobble stone. 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp, When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sounds of silence.
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never shared, And no one dared Disturb the sounds of silence.
"Fools!" said I, "you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell... And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon gods they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming, And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." And whispered in the sounds of silence.

"Thunderous Thighs" (To be sung to the Rolling Stones' "Faraway Eyes")
I wuz drivin' home, early Sunday mornin', thru DeeCeeVille... List'nin' to Ol' Mick Jagger on the AM radio station... And the DeeJay said, "You know you always got the Left by your side!" And I wuz so pleased to be informed of this... That I drove thru Slick's Whore House with my four-wheel!! Thank ya, Clinton!! Thank ya, Gore!!
Slick had an arrangement to meet a girl... Another intern date... But Bill thought by the time he got there... She'd be off, she'd be doin' the nearest Senator she could find!! Much to his surprise, there she wuz...pickin' at her thong-wear... Big Mo' Lewinsky, blue beret on her head... Justa girl...with thunderous thighs!!
So if Ol' Hell'ry won't suck... 'Cuz the First Beach don't do guys... Find a girl with thunderous thighs!! And if you're horny and dusty... 'Cuz your wife don't do the jam... Getta girl with thunderous thighs!! Well...
Well, the Lib'rals keep right on sayin'... That all you need to do is send more tax money to the... "Sacred" DeeCee Whores of Guv'ment... Located somewhere in downtown District of Columbia!!
But next week, they'll play my songs on the ray-dee-oh... And all Right's dreams will come true!! Libs're dead...and next week, Lord hear my prayer... Hear me, world...folks, you know what kinda lies Slick spouts... But I'll tell ya...
So now Slick's down on his luck... 'Cuz Ol' Hell'ry don't do guys... Hired a girl...with thunderous thighs!! Now, if you're downright disgusted... And you're tired of Slick's scam... Hire a girl to prove that Slick lies! Yes, now Bill's down on his luck... In jail, Ol' Slick'll soon reside... He'll be the "girl" with pasty white thighs!!

"What Good Am I?!" (To be sung to Bob Dylan's "What Good Am I?")
What good am I...if I'm like all the rest? If I just turn away...while JOEZ enslavin' kids... If I shut myself off...sit 'n' bitch, moan, and whine... What...good...am...I?!
Why, tell me why...won't the Press tell the Truth? 'Bout JOEZ deal with Beijing...'bout Dem F.B.I. crooks? Should I just drink my beer...forget RATZ TREASON and Left's LIES?! Whose...FOOL...am...I?!
What good am I...if I fail to FReep?! Should I lay down in bed...try to restlessly sleep? When I've seen Hunter's pictures...Bidenistas did SPY!! What...good...am...I?!
Do I tell my kids...that Dad failed the FRee?! FOLKS, WE MUST MAKE OUR STAND...LET'S DETHRONE JOEY!!! Prosecute all his crimes...let's send RATZ to Prison!! Soon, JOE'll RESIGN...or we'll IMPEACH!!!
What good am I...if I bless foolish things? If I cower in the face of...Vile Tyranny?! Shall I just turn my back...while our Liberties die?! I...would...rather...die!!

Updated today...MUD
"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation in the English way The time is gone the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say.
Haunting tune, IMHO...MUD
