Michigan GOP leader calls top Democrats ‘witches,’ jokes about assassination of Republicans

Openly reject leaders that incite violence against others, or we lose everything we once thought we stood for.
Horse Hockey, it was the POS obama who did that, making heroes out of crimes, put targets on law enforcement, made law enforcement stand down for rioting and looting.

The importation of children and putting them in danger of being trafficked ramps up even more. Contractors are being paid $775 a day per child to "care" for kids and can use volunteers or criminals (as background check requirements are suspended). Big business, cartels and pedos are all celebrating. Sad to see.

They will eventually be moved to @$400 per night hotels in CA (at taxpayer expense) for a while...and then will be released into the wild to live on the streets and compete for jobs and housing with other poor illegal and legal migrants...as well a second generation poor. Good thing that will never create resentment or fuel racism. Good thing food and housing is so plentiful and cheap in LA and San Francisco that they will not be forced to do almost anything to survive. None will ever be forced to work for below market rates, commit crimes, sell drugs, or their bodies to survive. That is why there are no existing homeless camps...life for poor folks without education or skills that don't speak English is just so wonderful out west.
You might get one thing straight, Flint. Most of the homeless are white dudes then Hispanics. I have never, I mean never seen a homeless Asian out here in the west coast.

I suspect that I am more right than you realize...and of course, I did not make any claim that the number of illegals crossing the southern border were largely Asian or that they were a large percentage of the homeless.

There were 55 different nationalities caught entering at the border so far this year and released into the country...so the illegal/trafficking in illegals problem is not just one race or nationality. Neither is the homeless population. Of course, competition for housing with illegals likely causes citizens to become homeless. Anecdotally (here in OT) people have discussed multiple immigrant families living in single small family homes, combining incomes (driving home prices up due to the finite nature of housing in these many places).

One would expect that illegals are the most likely to avoid being counted, even so, the numbers may not be what you expect. Although there may be a lot of "white dudes" that are homeless in the US, the population of "white dudes is much greater than any other group...and there are Asians (even on the west coast) that are homeless (although the number reported/counted is small). Also, trafficked persons are also unlikely to be counted and a lot of illegal immigrants are trafficked (as compared to citizens).

Racial Inequalities in Homelessness, by the Numbers
June 1, 2020 | Data and Graphics

Most minority groups in the United States experience homelessness at higher rates than Whites, and therefore make up a disproportionate share of the homeless population. African Americans make up 13 percent of the general population, but more than 40 percent of the homeless population. Similarly, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, and people who identify as two or more races make up a disproportionate share of the homeless population. Hispanics make up a share of the homeless population approximately equal to their share of the general population, while Whites and Asians are significantly underrepresented...
Read the rest:
https://endhomelessness.org/resource/racial-inequalities-homelessness-numbers/






Of course, that is the United States where the number of illegal immigrants are imported daily is greater than elsewhere. The number of nonwhites is greater as are the number of them that are homeless (especially in the LA area):

Now, the topic is on the large number of attacks on Asian people in the US, which just happens to coincide with a public figure making a lot of racist comments...

Do you think that by posting multiple photos of the same person, it will make it look like more non-Asians were killed? Without getting into the shooter's motivation, what is your agenda here?

OMG! What a horrible mistake posting photos of the same woman twice. I'll try to fix/edit that photo just for you (clearly no one except except you would have caught that it was the same person). Must stop the mass conspiracy to make it look like more non-Asians were killed.

Without getting into the shooter's motivation, what is your agenda here?

Hope this helps:

FWIW, I'm not convinced that it was an anti-Asian hate crime. I just wonder what your agenda is(?)

I have no agenda...other than to point out that most of the propaganda we see in the media is just that. Only convenient "facts" are included...that fit whatever agenda is being pushed to divide Americans. That and we rarely look beyond the bumper-sticker, knee-jerk response vice the real underlying causes of our problems. A look at the actual numbers and all the facts usually paints a far different picture. Much of the country sees things as race-related crimes that simply are not (As they are told that is the case). Making a conclusion that a person shooting up a pizzeria in Brooklyn hates Italians or a casino in Arizona hates Native Americans might have little to do with race. Similarly, an attack on an elderly Asian in SF might just be due to physical size (petite), age and perceived wealth (and easy prey..as Sumo wrestlers are rarely attacked)...or simply availability (percentage of the walking population in SF). Asian massage parlors (with an Asian staff) are certainly most common in the Atlanta area in question...and purportedly the shooter was a frequent client of such. We were told the shooting in Boulder was white supremacy (even though the victims were mostly white)...until it turned out that the shooter was born in Syria.

Many of our "problems" (including racism and things called racist which are clearly not) are caused by poverty and education. Much of our poverty and education issues are caused by culture, excessive immigration of the poor/uneducated, etc., and trafficking in persons. Increasing the population faster than increasing housing, jobs, schools, health care harms both illegal immigrants and citizens...and actually results in more resentment/racism/bigotry...not the opposite. That is one of the reason that immigration was almost stopped for several decades starting in the 1920s to allow assimilation and for the nation to catch up. Printing money money that we do not have to fund massive increases in population makes the problem worse as it saddles each citizen (and new citizen) with massive debt. It is hard to make the case that we just do not have enough Americans to care for now when you look at homeless encampments and welfare rolls.

You have an agenda and you don't even make the most rudimentary effort to hide it.

Another racially motivated hate crime this weekend? Who do we blame? Is it the last President as has been blamed here for attacks against Asians...or is it whomever named the German Measles? When do we start blaming the current people in charge...or maybe the perpetrator?

If the former President was actually the reason, wouldn't these have started while he was in office?
Exactly, he wasn't, cause if this had happened while he was I. Office, the media would have blasted, while trying to blame.

The real reason...
