Sacramento, Mesa, Kansas City, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Omaha, and Raleigh are all cities with populations of approximately 530,000.  In addition, Miami, Virgina Beach, Long Beach, Oakland, and Minneapolis have populations of about 400,000. 

No … this isn’t a geography demographics test. I just want you to have a clear idea of why these numbers should be of importance to you as an American taxpayer as immigration and the economy top the list voter concerns.

On Friday, the Biden administration quietly announced that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens they flew into the United States from four nations.

In a stealth move to avoid the southern border, the administration has been flying illegals without visas directly into the U.S. from Venezuela since October 2022 and from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua since January 2023.  As of the end of August, some 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. under Biden’s policy.

You not only paid for their airfare, you paid for their settlement expenses for food and shelter, healthcare and education.  Remember, you’re also footing the bill for the estimated 15 to 20 million migrant border crossers who were given asylum.

And, most likely, we are supporting the settlement of the 1.7 million gotaways.  That’s the equivalent of the populations of Phoenix, Philadelphia, and San Antonio. The estimated number of illegals in this country is the equivalent of the city of Chicago.

Harris simply cannot be awarded the presidency while violating the sovereignty of the United States.

Ironically, as the Americans in the southeast are suffering from heavy loss of life and severe property losses from hurricane Helene, we learn that FEMA’s emergency funds have been pilfered for migrant support, and that of our support for the wars in Ukraine and Israel is mounting.

As you relate the numbers of illegals in our country to major city populations, view them also as potential Democrat voters.

About Hurricane Helene

Once he finally surveyed some of Helene’s damage near Asheville, North Carolina it was predictable that President Biden, during a briefing in Raliegh, that he would blame the disaster on climate change:

“Nobody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore,” he said, “They must be brain dead it they do.” 

We know who is brain dead.

It comes as no surprise that the usual suspects are attempting to leverage this tragedy to promote a political agenda,” writes Ward Clark in “The Data Is Clear: Hurricanes Are Not Getting More Dangerous.”

“(The greenies) are claiming that anthropogenic climate change made Helene uniquely destructive,” says Clark, “The problem is their wrong.”

Just like the gun control crackpots come out after every shooting, climate change fanatics emerge to spread misinformation about hurricanes, tornadoes, and even wildfires.

It’s true that Helene was one of the biggest storms to hit the Gulf Coast with its wind gust speeds of 140 mph, but it’s been 55 years since Camille hit with such force in 1969, and 34 years prior to that for the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.

Clark commented on the forecasters who didn’t get it right.  They predicted a “remarkable jump in hurricane activity” in the Atlantic, one even saw a “supercharged” hurricane season ahead. 

Yet, with two-thirds of the season behind us, it has been no more eventful than average.

Of course, the leftist Washington Post reported that “climate change makes the freakishly hot conditions that fueled Helene’s growth more common.”

“We won’t know the full estimated contributions from climate change until more thorough analysis is done,” commented Baker Perry, a professor of climatology at the University of Nevada at Reno. 

With that, we can expect climate change believers like Perry, who would have us believe that data from Helene is part of a pattern we’re seeing around the world.

If Helene has an effect on the presidential election it will emanate from the south, where voters believe the Biden-Harris administration was slow to react, while former President Trump was on the scene distributing supplies quickly.

Pew Research reports that among Trump supporters, the economy is ranked first with 93 percent of the respondents, and immigration second with 82 percent of the respondents.  Climate change ranked lowest with 11 percent of the respondents.

If anything, Pew’s survey shows how divided the thinking on the left differs so much from the right.  Harris supporters ranked the economy at 68 percent, below healthcare (76), and Supreme Court appointments (73).   Climate change was ranked at 62 percent, trailing abortion (67).

From Yale University, in Understanding pro-climate voters in the United States, when respondents were asked to scale issues as “very important,” “moderately important,” “only a little important,” and “not important at all,” just over a third (37 percent) were considered pro-climate voters.

However, Yale found that pro-climate voters, as few as there are, were more likely than other voters to talk about, and hear about, global warming with friends and neighbors.

Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

Donald Trump promises to end the foolish spending on the impossible goal of altering climate change, while we try to make ends meet with our daily expenses.

May God continue to bless the United States of America
