DHS Secretary Says Border Is Closed: ‘The Message Is Quite Clear, Do Not Come’
MSN | March 21, 2021 | Mychael Schnell

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday urged migrants not to travel to the United States, as the Biden administration struggles with a surge of incomers, especially unaccompanied minors, at the southern border.

“The message is quite clear, do not come. The border is closed, the border is secure,” Mayorkas told host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.”

“We are encouraging children not to come. Now is not the time to come. Do not come, the journey is dangerous. We are building safe, orderly and humane ways to address the needs of vulnerable children. Do not come,” Mayorkas added.

DHS Secretary Mayorkas Ends ‘Remain in Mexico’ Program with Plans to Free More Migrants into U.S.
Breitbart | June 1, 2021 | John Binder

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas officially ended the “Remain in Mexico” program, which sought to cut asylum fraud by preventing the release of migrants into the United States.

Immediately after taking office, Biden suspended the Remain in Mexico program, nearly two years after it was implemented by the Trump administration to reduce asylum fraud. Days later, Biden instructed top DHS officials to strategize a plan that would release at least 25,600 migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. interior.

On Tuesday, Mayorkas announced the official end of Remain in Mexico, despite its highly effective rate of preventing asylum fraud, where migrants are released into the U.S. interior, are eventually found to be ineligible for asylum, and then remain living in the country as illegal aliens.

As part of the announcement, Mayorkas said from February 19 to May 25,

. . . while he was pretending there was no incentive to come . . .

DHS had released about 11,200 migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. interior. More migrants, Mayorkas said, will be released into the interior.

Report: Lifeguards can thank heavyweight union for $300,000 pay ‘Sweetheart’ contract credited for ‘ridiculous salaries’
wnd.com | 6/4/2021 | Bob Unruh

Many of the union lifeguards working in Los Angeles County make more money than the governor’s $210,000 salary, and the top earners were approaching $400,000, and they can thank a powerful union that took advantage of a noncompetitive contract, according to a new report.

John Miltimore has written at the Foundation for Economic Education that an OpenTheBooks review found the top earner was Fernando Boiteux, who got $291,971 in salary, benefits and perks as “acting chief lifeguard” in 2019.

… and he must’ve gotten a lot in overtime, because:

Second was Capt. Daniel Douglas, whose compensation was only $368,668.

“Nearly all the top paid lifeguards were men, the report notes, and pay was driven largely by overtime. In fact, 31 lifeguards made between $50,000 and $131,500 in overtime compensation alone,” he reported.

US Soldiers Accidentally Invade Factory During Training Snafu
Manufacturing.net | 6/3/2021 | Eric Sorensen

The US Military is under fire after a training incident gone awry.

According to a recent report, a group of soldiers were engaged in a training exercise in Bulgaria when a mistake sent them off course. The group was assigned the task of clearing and securing multiple structures on the US airbase in Cheshnigirovo when they inadvertently strayed from the designated area and onto private property.

Task and Purpose said the soldiers with the 173rd Airborne Brigade then accidentally stormed the operating factory next door, seizing and clearing the premises of the company’s bewildered and, no doubt, terrified employees.

Some evidence suggests the factory, which reportedly produces equipment used in olive oil production, was entered by soldiers with weapons drawn, though the Army has stressed that no firearms were discharged in the incident. Either way, the media source Arms Watch has reported that the factory’s owner has since filed a lawsuit.

And Bulgarian President Rumen Radev isn’t too happy either. He is demanding a full investigation, calling it “inadmissable” that Bulgarian citizens lives were put at risk, saying: “The exercises with our allies on the territory of Bulgaria should contribute to building security and trust in collective defense, not breed tension.”

In a statement issued by the US Embassy, the US Military has apologized for the disastrous training incident and says it will investigate the cause.

Meanwhile, no soliders have been disciplined in relation to the event.

Of course not — they’ve purged all the Republicans.

China’s communist government has decided that people can have three kids — after all the ones they forced to be aborted. Isn’t that nice?

China’s new three-child policy sends baby and maternity stocks soaring
CNN Business | May 31, 2021 | Julia Horowitz

… The Chinese Communist Party’s top leadership made the decision to permit couples to have up to three children at a meeting Monday, though state media reports did not say when the policy change would be implemented.

It comes just three weeks after Beijing published its 2020 census, which showed China’s population was growing at its slowest rate in decades.

That’s putting major pressure on an economy that relies on a young workforce to support an aging population and keep up high levels of growth…

I simply don’t understand the liberal half of this country that wants a centralized government sticking its nose into every facet of your life. I guess they figure (correctly, as it turns out) that they will be able to exempt themselves from the rules they impose on everyone else.

So what are they going to call the mothers of these huge Chinese families? Three-Gorgeous Dams?
