Alice Cooper, the eye-liner wearing “Godfather of Shock Rock,” was dumped by a cosmetics company after the singer questioned the rush to perform trans surgeries on kids and said that transitioning genders was a “fad.” (Snip) The rocker also blasted “the whole woke thing,” wondering: “Who’s making the rules? Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, ‘Okay, we can’t say “mother” now. We have to say “birthing person.” Get that out on the wire right now?”’
“Who is this person that’s making these rules? I don’t get it,”

Fed up with having Chicago police officers “babysit” asylum-seekers, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara on Thursday proposed an alternative to district stations: allowing hundreds of migrants to sleep in the lobbies and open hallways at City Hall.
“I don’t think there’s one single one of ’em living in City Hall — whether it’s on the county lobby floor or the City Hall floor. There’s certainly plenty of space to put a couple hundred in there, but I don’t see that happening in their workspace. But they certainly have no problem putting ’em in our workspace,” Catanzara said. “Why be a hypocrite?”

An asylum seeker has chronicled his perilous journey from France to England in an astonishing series of videos on TikTok, taking in train journeys across France, laughing with friends aboard an overcrowded dinghy and finally relaxing in a UK hotel. The man, named on TikTok as Rahat Popal, is thought to be an Afghan national who recorded the various stages of his journey through France before crossing the Channel on a packed boat and arriving at a migrant hotel in England. (Snip) Popal then films himself grinning while perched precariously on a small dinghy, crammed full with men, women and children, before ending up on UK soil

Chicago - Chicago could experience a fivefold increase in arriving migrants — up to 10 busloads a day — sent here by Republican governors trying to embarrass and strain Democratic sanctuary cities in the run-up to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, a top mayoral aide said Monday. Cristina Pacione-Zayas, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s deputy chief of staff, predicted the burgeoning crisis that has seen over 13,000 migrants descend on the city over the last year will intensify the closer it gets to the Chicago convention next August.(Snip) they want to make the case that Democratic-led cities are not capable of living up to the values that we have.

A giant, sucking sound is coming out of Wall Street — and it’s siphoning staggering sums of money out of the Big Apple while handing business to Florida and other states farther south.
Nearly 160 Wall Street firms have moved their headquarters out of New York since the end of 2019, taking nearly $1 trillion — yes, that’s trillion with a “T” — in assets under management with them, according to data from 17,000 companies compiled by Bloomberg. (Snip) Last year, financial firms paid $5.4 billion in New York taxes and accounted for nearly a quarter of all personal income tax collections

More than 200 raucous demonstrators rallied outside a former Staten Island nursing home Sunday, chanting, “Close the border!” to protest its possible conversion to an emergency shelter for migrants.
“Don’t call them immigrants. Call them ‘illegals,’ ” Ray Thaisz, 66,(Snip) The possibility of converting the former Midland Beach nursing home first surfaced last year, when the 288-bed facility was on the verge of being sold, according to a report this month by the Staten Island Advance.
The sale meant that 53 senior citizens would have to be relocated from the assisted living facility — and local pols raised fears that the site was being eyed for conversion to a migrant shelter.

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.” (Snip) Right now, hedge funds and private billionaires are buying up residential homes and farmland all over the world. At the same time, unrealistic zero-emissions policies are impoverishing Westerners and annihilating the middle class, which is fueling reliance on centralized government.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently told NBC News reporter Ali Vitali in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday that he would sign a 15-week federal abortion ban into law if elected president, but then backtracked later in the day. “The decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life,” Kennedy told Vitali. (Snip) Hours later, Kennedy’s presidential campaign issued a statement regarding RFk Jr.’s remarks on abortion.
“Mr. Kennedy misunderstood a question posed to him by a NBC reporter in a crowded, noisy exhibit hall at the Iowa State Fair,” his campaign wrote in an unsigned statement on Sunday.

I was not going to write about Oliver Anthony’s brilliant song, Rich Men North of Richmond, because I have nothing worthy to add. The video puts all other commentary to shame. North of Richmond refers to the federal government, which is too large, too powerful and too uncaring.
But Mark Antonio Wright, executive editor of the Never Trump National Review, butted in with a Learn-to-Code column attacking Anthony for daring to complain about DC’s treatment of the working class. It lectured Anthony to be more like Woody Guthrie, the Nazi apologist and communist.(Snip)what makes America great are the very things National Review now opposes.

Having watched Big Labor buy the White House for Joe Biden in 2020, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has taken a page out of the same playbook. Last month, the governor, who reportedly has designs on the Oval Office himself one day, handed a taxpayer-funded sweetheart deal to one of his state’s largest public employee unions.
The state’s new collective bargaining agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 31 gifts its 35,000 state employee members a nearly 20 percent pay raise over four years, including a 4 percent raise this year. That adds up to a 61 percent better deal than they got during their last

NASCAR levied the indefinite suspension on him for violating the organization’s code of conduct. (Snip) Josh Berry replaced Gragson in the No. 42 at Michigan over the weekend. He crashed and did not finish the race.

Former NCAA Division 1 athletes Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan were among those who were targeted by "hostile" protesters that gathered in Texas on Monday in opposition of the "Save Women’s Sports Act."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was joined by Gaines and Scanlan at the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame at Texas Woman’s University in Denton for a ceremonial signing of the bill, which was previously signed into law in June. But according to those in attendance, protesters that gathered at the event threw items and spat at those who gathered in support of the legislation. (Snip) I guess the best word to describe them was they were rabid.
