Ayaan Hirsi Ali was on Dave Rubin's podcast discussing the Somali fraud and she said something that I believe to be incorrect and perhaps reveals a blind side of of opponents to the Somali fraud in particular and the organized left in general.
And none of these three groups, theethnic Somalis, the Muslim Brotherhood,11:55or the Democratic Party, seem to think11:57that that money comes from somewhere.11:59taxpayers, you and me, do you think we12:02want to finance our demise? That's12:05
Each of these groups know exactly where the money comes from. There are only two racial groups that are net tax payers in the United States:
Whites and Asians.
African Americans, on average paid in 1,000 until 2001, where it dropped by around 2/3 and as of 2023 rose to 6k average per person. You can see that next to whites and Asians, particularly Asians, blacks pay next to no taxes. This is important.
When you look at just snap benefits African-Americans use ~26% of 2023 Fed money (not including state). That represents $26,730,000,000 total.
A group paying in under 6k/taxpayer is not supporting that kind of outlay hence the net tax payer claim above.
Hence the people involved in the fraud, Somalis, Muslim Brotherhood, Dems all know that the money is coming out of white pockets and it's exactly what they want. Remember the comment made by Mamdani's aide about how the policies need to hurt white people. Now the rest of us net contributors as individuals, which means black folks too, get shafted right along with them UNLESS we are in on the fraud.
White liberals, particularly the women, believe that white people, including them SHOULD be exploited and taxed. They see it as personal reparations and "justice". Recall that during the race for NJ governor there was an advert where Mikkie said that it's going to cost NJ residents to go to "clean energy" but "if they were good people" they would do it.
So white leftists don't mind the exploitation as they believe it is their duty as "good white folk". The rest are using those white leftists as useful idiots. Idiots in the short term to run frauds, and idiots in the long term when they take over like Hamtramck MI, and expose what they really want to do.
So no Ms. Ali they DO know where the money is coming from. They just don't think you have the guts to do what is necessary to stop them from taking it.
Recently it was announced by DHS that their agents would be able to enter and seize persons who had final orders of deportation and presumably an administrative warrant (more on that later). There was a lot of pushback including from the likes of Robert Barnes of Barnes Law, who I actually have a great deal of respect for and generally find myself agreeing with. However on this point I found myself at odds with him.
The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution reads as follows:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
Now when I read that in it's plain language I saw that the conditions were first that the people had a right against unreasonable searches and seizures. Reasonable searches and seizures were not out of bounds. Second thing was the Warrant. It didn't say "judicial warrant" or 'administrative warrant". It said warrant. To my simple, non lawyer mind, this meant that a warrant is a warrant is a warrant.
Barnes, among others pointed out that precedent had been that warrant here means judicial warrant. Personally, I find this to be a made up distinction due to no such qualification being present in the clear text of the 4th but so be it.
The next thing that I, and perhaps a great deal of Americans, thought was that this restraint was due to the presumption of innocence that a person has. If the state wanted to prosecute a person they could not just barge into their property and take stuff. Nor could they just grab them up in the street without some good reason.
But are illegal aliens such persons? Again a lot of Americans don't think so. An illegal alien, particularly one with a final deportation order, has already been given his or her due process of law and has been deemed removable. This means, that unlike the presumed innocent person in the previous example, the alien is already guilty (of being in the country illegally and therefore their seizure, wherever it occurs is reasonable. For what reason is it unreasonable to seize a person who is trespassing.
No one has explained this to me. Rather the argument has moved to, well an admin warrant is essentially not a real warrant. The accompanying argument being that if the seizure of an illegal alien with a final order is allowed without a judicial warrant, then all persons, including citizens may also be so seized. I do not buy this particular argument. It does fail the slippery slope test (logical fallacy) though I am the first to mention that often such "fallacies" do come true.
So not being a lawyer, I'm not particularly versed in the precedents. However; I do follow one online and he lays out a compelling case, similar to what I wrote above AND he provides SCOTUS decisions to support his commentary. I would be particularly interested in how Barnes Law would respond to his argument.
Greetings. Long time no write. Been a bit too cold to do videos from the car and I don't burn gas for that. Also training for a half marathon so workouts and sleep have a high priorty for me. Thanks for checking in though. If you're not following me on Rumble or Bitchute, I suggest you do as I do more videos than writing these days. Anyway onto the subject at hand.
Yesterday while driving home from work, Waze told me it would take an extraordinary amount of time to get home. As I travelled, I didn't run into the normal traffic and couldn't understand why there was such a long time. Then we hit the backup. Two lanes of stop and go traffic.
Waze showed a traffic cone and a few police on the map. I figured it was an accident with a lane closure. Nope. NYPD had set up a roadblock in order to catch people who had been avoiding tolls. Whether that be by obscuring their plates or being flagged as a person who owed.
As I sat in this traffic, unnecessarily, I thought about it. NYC will not honor a detainer for an illegal alien that it has captured who committed a crime. Yet, here I and others are, sitting on a road because NYC and NYS ain't giving up toll revenue. They shut down an entire road for this and have been doing so for a while.
Kind a lets you know where the priorities lay.
The resentment I felt was not so much about the tolls, I actually don't care that people try to avoid tolls as I am strongly against said tolls. I felt resentment because while I'm forced to play by the rules and have my shit in order, the same city and state will shield other scofflaws who shouldn't even be in the city or state.
There is a saying from I suppose is one of the founders, that when the law is not properly enforced, good people stop observing the law. Why? 'Cause they can clearly see others breaking it with the approval of the enforcers.
This is also the case, currently, with Don Lemon and his crew that broke a few federal laws when they invaded a church. I'm not fixated on Don but I don't understand how it's now Wednesday and none of the perps have been cuffed and perp walked.
Imagine I had robbed a store where I was caught on surveillance camera with a name tag on and plainly visible. Once identified I would have been arrested by now. That these individuals are walking around free, even after more than enough evidence for an arrest warrant, tells me that "law enforcement" is not serious in America and the "law abiding" are noticing this.
They are noticing the amount of fraud that has been uncovered in the last few months and they notice the lack of public consequences for those involved. And when they sit on a shut down highway so that the local PD can determine whether they are travelling with their vehicles properly tagged, they resent that.
A lot.

Up until Feb of this year I only worried about electric usage (more than usual) in the summer when I have to run my AC units for an extended period of time. I had never actually looked at what I was paying per KWH. I just had a vague sense of what kind of usage would result in what kind of bill.
Then I got a PHEV.
The circumstances for me buying that is not relevant here. What is relevant is that it forced me to consider how much I was paying for electricity. You know the old saying that a conservative is a liberal who got mugged? Well this purchase exposed the mugging.
When I got the vehicle I looked at costs to charge at public points. And what I saw shocked me. 30-60 cent per kwh. In addition to one to three dollar "start fees". Some were in garages that ALSO required you to pay to park. All of this revealed that, at least in my case, it would cost more to charge than it would be to buy gas and use the onboard generator to charge the battery.
The PHEV I have can get, at best 15 miles of pure electric range. It's a 2018. When charging via 120v AC it takes roughly 7 KWH to charge depending on the state of the battery. At the time of purchase I was paying 6 cents per kwh delivery and 15c/kwh supply. I never understood the breakdown but that's outside the scope of this post. That makes a total of 21c/kwh to charge. Each charge from "empty" would be around $1.45. Since I can only go 15 miles (way less in the winter) per charge that works out to 9c/mile.
Gasoline at that time was about $3.50/ gallon. The vehicle gets ~30 MPG if you discount the electric range. That works out to 11c/mile on gasoline (worse in traffic where battery is a huge boost). So you could see that it WAS 2c/mile cheaper to charge the battery and get those 11 miles. And definitely not worth it to charge at ANY public charge point which was FAR more expensive that premium fuel.
Now when the vehicle is charging, mpg drops to ~26mpg. So I'm losing 5 miles of range per gallon. However; it doesn't take an entire gallon to charge the battery. Even if it did, I would be paying 55c to charge the battery using the onboard generator. Far far less than plugging in at home.
Then the summer came and NJ electric rates went to shit. I'll pause here to comment on the so called green initiatives that are the cause of this problem. The idiots who put these mandates in place are so inept that they cannot understand that you do not take power offline until you have an equal or better replacement ready to replace it. Nope, NJ apparently gutted 6 power plants and replaced them with so called "renewable" energy that cannot meet demand. At the same time they are pushing for people to purchase EVs which, tadah, increases electricity demand. But back to the story.
The current electric rate for me is 9c/kwh delivery and 20c/kwh for supply.
That is a 50% increase in "delivery" and 30% increase for supply. Overall that's 29c/kwh up nearly 50% from Feb.
Let that sink in.
So now we go and run these calculations again. 7kwh at 29c/khw is $2.03 to fully charge from near zero. At the best range of 15 miles that's now 13c/mile (Compared to 9c just a few months ago).
Meanwhile gasoline is still hovering around $3.40/gal. which is 11c/mile. It is now more expensive to charge my vehicle to run on "clean" electricity then it is to use gasoline.
These are the idiots running NJ (and elsewhere).
Isn't it cheaper to charge overnight? Well maybe. If you live in a house, I do not, you may have lower rates at night. If you don't there are programs to put in a smart charger that apparently reports that you are charging an EV to the electric company and it gives you a discount for the energy consumed. Of course if you don't live in a house, like me, you cannot get on this program because you cannot install a smart charger. Nor do you get lower rates that MAY be available to houses.
Word is that rates are going to go up significantly again in the near future. Beyond EVs this is untenable. You cannot have 30-50% increases in rates every year or even two years. It is also past time to put the climate scammers out of power and out of influence.
