Argue with it.

And now, "Tent Cities" or better known as concentration/internment camps. Really, is this the USA you love, or is it the government your ancestors gave their lives to defeat?

Trump's proposal in broad strokes:
creating "tent cities" and relocating homeless people to "large parcels of inexpensive land" with access to doctors, psychiatrists, social workers and drug rehab specialists.

The current policies of getting homeless off the streets and reintegrated into society doesn't seem to be very effective. There are 582,000 homeless spread across the country, 145,000 of them suffer from "severe" mental issues, 80,000 + are drug addicts.

The real question is,.... Do you continue to use ad hoc measures hoping it eventually becomes effective or do you change the game? There is no "magic" bullet that fixes this issue. As Thomas Howard wrote, "a man can not have his cake and eat his cake".

Good luck getting an answer. Dems don't want to solve the problem their policies created.

Both will probably do better independently than remaining shackled to the anchors of legacy media.

"The announcement came one week after Fox News settled a monster defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over the network’s dissemination of election lies. Fox News said that Carlson’s last show was Friday, April 21."

Now, could there be a connection
edit: what about Tucker siding with Marjorie Taylor Greene

Speaking of oops. I bet a Chicom/Democrat party collusion investigation is brewing. Karma really is a biatch isn’t it? low hanging fruit, any day now.

Blue anon types do love drama. Murdoch will make his 800 million back in no time.

Video shows suspect accused of operating secret Chinese police stations mingling with Schumer, Adams

Lu Jianwang charged with conspiring to act as an agent of China's government

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vid...-schumer-adams

One of the two men accused by federal prosecutors of running a secret Chinese police station in New York City purportedly has been captured on video attending an event alongside two prominent Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Video recorded on March 18 appears to show Lu Jianwang standing alongside Adams most recently at an event where Schumer also spoke. Lu was arrested last week and charged with conspiring to act as an agent of China's government, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.

In a statement, Adams’ office told Fox News that the mayor’s attendance at an event is either to show support for a local community or the city and does not signal any kind of endorsement…


Fox News Digital has reached out to Schumer’s office for comment.

The event was a fundraiser for the Fukien American Association, a cultural nonprofit linked to the Chinese province.

In April 2022, Lu also met New York Democratic Rep. Grace Meng at a fundraising event, according to The Daily Caller, citing images the outlet found.

Records show that since 2006, Lu has contributed at least $32,625 to New York elected officials, including Adams and New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul.

News here in the UK is that Biden has announced he is running in the next presidential election.

[Otto Harkaman]

^ The Imperial bureaucracy and State Media have already elected him President, he will get so feeble witted in his second term that Harris will assume the Presidency and then with her President we will see the USA turned into a larger Chicago that only Lori Lightfoot could dream about.

Achievments and losses of Biden so far. Not as bad as he often is accused of, not as good as his voters hoped for.

And who knows, trainig the brain slows its degeneration. If he were not confronted with the daily challenges of the office, he likely would mumble much more today.

Joe Biden and the 51 Spies of 2020


We’re now learning that his campaign helped gin up the disinformation about Hunter’s laptop.

Why is public trust in American institutions, including the press, in free fall? One reason is the revelation last week that the Biden for President campaign helped to organize the open letter that spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s famous laptop computer on Oct. 19, 2020.
The House Judiciary and Intelligence committees released portions of a deposition transcript exposing the origins of the statement from 51 former U.S. spies declaring that Hunter’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The admission came from Mike Morell, former deputy CIA director under Barack Obama. The letter served its political purpose of giving the media and Joe Biden the opening to dismiss the New York Post’s laptop scoop as Russian disinformation. (The letter and the names of the 51 signers can be read nearby.)
It turns out the Biden campaign was behind the letter. Mr. Morell told Congress under oath that he received a phone call from Antony Blinken on Oct. 17, 2020—three days after the Post published emails from Hunter’s laptop. Mr. Blinken was then a senior adviser to the campaign and is now secretary of State.
According to a letter the House committees sent to Mr. Blinken last week, Mr. Morell said the call was “couched as simply gathering Morell’s reaction to the Post story,” yet it “set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement.”

Committee question to Mr. Morell: “Prior to [Mr. Blinken’s] call, you—you did not have any intent to write this statement?”
Mr. Morell: “I did not.”
The letter says Mr. Morell also “explained that the Biden campaign helped to strategize about the public release of the statement.” Mr. Morell says he then contacted an aide to former CIA director John Brennan to say “the Biden campaign wanted the statement to go to a particular reporter at the Washington Post first and that he should send the statement to the campaign when he sent the letter to the reporter.”
Mr. Morell acknowledged he had two goals with the statement: to “share our concern with the American people,” and to “help Vice President Biden” “win the election.”
All of this took place shortly before the final presidential debate, and Mr. Biden pointed to the Gang of 51’s statement that his campaign helped to generate as proof that the Hunter laptop was phony: “Look, there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, [President Trump is] accusing me of is a Russian plan. They have said that this has all the characteristics—four—five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage!”

"You are always welcome in Russia and Moscow," telegrams the Kremlin's raging bull Vladimir Solovyov to Tucker Carlson. "We will be happy to offer you a job if you want to continue as a presenter or host."
