End Homelessness By Making It Illegal

According to Google’s AI Overview, approximately 653,100 people, uh, “experience homelessness” on any given night in 2023, up a crazy 12% from just the year before. It’s a stunning number, but one that probably isn’t surprising to you no matter where you live, because this has gone far beyond just being a ‘big liberal city problem.’ Likely, your small town in your red state is also “experiencing homelessness” more than it ever has. Walk down your typical formerly Norman Rockwellesque main street today and you’ll likely see more than a few shopping carts, dirty tents, and drug-addled vagrants sitting or lying around.

If you want more of something, subsidize it. That is just what you do when you make housing and meals for people who are homeless and at a time when jobs are everywhere. People do for themselves when forced to, and will line up at the freebies line instead if its available.

So homelessness is just like being on welfare. Subsidize uneducated women having babies out of wedlock with housing and food and you get more uneducated women having babies out of wedlock who need housing and food. Liberals are evil degenerates for what they've done to society.

The homeless, just like the permanently unemployed, would all disappear if that giant safety net suddenly vanished. If they had to make their own money to buy needles full of their drug of choice and alcohol and cigarettes, they would be buying food instead. If the police would pick up those street-corner people carrying the pitiful cardboard signs, they would no longer be tying up traffic during rush hour as normal people returned from school or work. Give them a choice, a job or a mental institution.

It’s the same with mass uncontrolled illegal immigration. We have been watching the leftist and progressive Democrats, by their very public comments and actions encourage and invite more and more such illegal immigration by protecting millions of illegal aliens who under the Federal immigration laws are subject to arrest and deportation, now called removal, from the USA. Now we have been hearing from the Democrats that all illegal aliens in the USA who do not have known serious criminal records should no longer be deemed subject to arrest and removal from the USA, but should be legalized, be put on “a path to citizenship” and have a chance to make better lives for themselves in the USA, of course as future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters in unlimited numbers in the years ahead. If that were to occur the populations of the Third World undeveloped countries, amounting to at least six billion people, the vast majority of who are poor, uneducated and unskilled would be encouraged and essentially invited to cross the borders into the USA believing that they could just stay in the USA, being granted all sorts of US Government provided benefits and services, while being protected by the leftist and progressive Democrats. There is only one “partisan” reason why the Democrats would support that, and that is in the long-term to permanently change the population demographics of the USA to the point where the USA becomes a minority-majority country made up of a vast coalition of minority group members, as identified as such through Democrat identity politics, to keep the leftist and progressive Democrats in permanent political power able to transform the USA into some form of future socialist utopia. Why else would the partisan Democrats support such “open borders” policies?

Arrest them for vagrancy. Put them in a stringent prison similar to Bukele's CECOT in El Salvador. Build a large treadmill they can walk on 12 hours per day that has a big magneto hooked up to the electric power grid. Give them some rice and beans and some water, to sustain them for the year they will be walking the treadmill. They will get in great shape, and not be clogging the ER and health care facilities any more. After a year, discharge them from the sustainable power prison and issue them a one-way bus ticket to Burlington, Vermont, and let the Bernie Bots take care of them. Make it illegal for them to ever come back to any Red State. These people are mostly party animals looking for getting bombed and high and Gimme Dat Mo' Free Shiite. Each one is a walking human toxic waste site that cost the local, state and federal taxpayers well over a million dollars in the course of their self-chosen miserable lives. This only happens because we let it happen. 'Housing First' is as big a farce as 'Global Warming'- Liberal schemes to destroy America.

While we don't have the tents and shopping carts of the big cities, or people sleeping in doorways,etc., we do still have the busy food banks. A lot of people lost their jobs when FJB went after the oilfield and many were out of work. I hope, with President Trump, that will now taper off and will be back to the regular 'gimmeedats' that will always be there.

Would we have the money for this? This is our corrupt government. The likelihood of things going other as planned would be quite high. One thing for certain, the safety net needs to be pulled away, so these people hit bottom. That's the only way to convince them to change. Can see many of the homeless accepting jail especially if it means free food and shelter.

Tarrio denied any involvement in the incident. Organizers of the Principles First summit, which is considered a center-right alternative to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), confirmed the bomb threat after they abruptly asked attendees to clear the room hosting the conference.

German conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz appears poised to win the country’s election Sunday, while the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party places second despite making gains. Chancellor Olaf Scholz conceded defeat, calling the election results “bitter,” The Associated Press reported. Scholz’s Social Democratic Party placed third, behind the AfD, in its worst result in a national election in decades. With more than 200 constituencies’ results declared, Reuters reported that the conservative party earned 28.8 percent of the vote with the AfD trailing at 20.9 percent. The Social Democrats came in at third place at 16.3 percent. The AP noted that Germany, as the most populous country in the European Union,

Until recently, the U.S. and the rest of the developed world pursued a costly global policy of “net-zero” carbon emissions to battle the supposed ill-effect of climate change. But President Donald Trump has changed all that by ending the U.S.’ commitment to the global net-zero effort. Will today’s highly partisan voters support Trump? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll data suggest a high-degree of skepticism among many voters over global warming’s threat. Three-quarters of those responding to the I&I/TIPP Poll agreed there are reasons for “public skepticism toward climate-change policies,” while just over a third of voting-age Americans say they themselves “distrust” the information used to sell previous climate-change policies.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans this week to move up to $50 billion of the Pentagon’s budget from “low-impact and low-priority programs” to ones that align with President Trump’s defense strategy — an excellent first step to get the department ready for the threats America faces from China and other adversaries. But not even cutting every last DEI program and burdensome administrative process will yield anywhere close to $50 billion. The only way to find that kind of money is to cut weapons programs that no longer meet America’s needs.

After President Donald Trump was elected, we published a semi-whimsical list of what would be “out” and “in” after his victory as the left instantly switched gears (“What’s In And What’s Out After Trump’s Stunning Victory”). On that list: Out: The economy is doing great! In: Why hasn’t Trump fixed the economy yet?? Over the weekend, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries proved us right. “Donald Trump and Republicans consistently promised that they were going to lower the high cost of living, and they’ve done the exact opposite,” Jeffries said. “They’ve shown no interest in lowering costs in the United States of America, which are too high.”

Pres. Joe Biden’s airport security agency opened up fast-track lines for illegal migrants in 2021, according to a Transportation Security Agency document released by President Donald Trump’s deputies. The heretofore unreleased 2021 policy allowed illegal migrants to use a variety of “DHS-provided documents” to walk quickly through security checkpoints that held up many Americans. These approved documents included various documents issued by DHS, such as warrants for arrests, “Notice to Appear” court appointments, and Alien Booking record documents. The policy was unveiled by journalist Breanna Morello, who wrote, “These documents could be displayed electronically at TSA security checkpoints, meaning an illegal alien could present a photo or screenshot on their device,
