Asylum is a racket in both Europe and America. Illegal aliens are coached to claim asylum even though most of them are economic migrants not legally entitled to asylum. Many file the claim and just disappear. Those who actually show up on their court dates to go forward with the claims are overwhelming found not entitled to asylum.

There needs to be a serious crackdown on migrants fraudulently claiming asylum. For one thing, they ought to be polygraphed on their claims during their first encounter with immigration officials, and when the polygraph says they are lying, they need to be immediately expelled.

If a citizen points out a problem, whose job is it to make sure tht issue doesnt just fall into a blackhole. Sloppy govts open the door to corrupt govts.
In meeting minutes the transcripts constantly refer to STAFF said this or STAFF said that. Well who the hell is Mr Staff? Doesnt he have a name or title? I see it as an attempt to obfiscate so that no one can be held accountable.
Maybe I should ask a councilmember, but I have a feeling they wouldnt know the answers.
Why does it take a whole month to see meeting transcripts. Ya know this isnt the fifties. If there is not a monthly meeting, then it takes 2 months to see it. This is bad, lazy govt. But do they want to do better?

I saw Fabulous Moolah's most recent video praising the new City Manager for defending "democracy" (we aren't a democracy nor is there a place for democracy per the Constitution); what a joke it was!

To sum it up with street terms: THE CITY doesn't want property taxes to decrease because THEY'RE going to have to cut "services" ("services" that THEY'VE sold to the public as necessity so they can steal MORE money FROM the public THROUGH said "services") and use Monopoly money, that they don't have but should, to cover the difference.

I'm not a fan of any of the actors we have on the City Council (they're all controlled opposition) BUT Fritz was right when he said the City is broke.

Funny thing.....some of us had been saying this long before any of those goons came into the picture. I wonder whose ideas they lifted????

It appears Virginia has its own Mao Zedong implementing her own Marxist Cultural Revolution in our northern neighbor state.

At this recent meeting, Perreault also express anger that Davis had supported a TX Christian college that had offered free service to City employees. He was also angry that Davis had reached out to ECU, BCCC, w/out getting permission from th whole Council.WHY? Cant a membr talk independently w other entities? Perreault says he is afraid employees will feel pressured by Christianity? What? R they so weak they cant control selves? Brabo has lost control of th meetings. She was being led like she had a nose ring. She should be giving Davis equal time, reminding others to control their emotions and think twice b4 speaking. Brabo stopped Davis from speaking on Perreault screaming at the CM, but allowed Perreault to continue his assault on Davis: who was demanding that Davis's home not be given Historical status because he is a sitting council member.

Just more hate by the Democrats against the South, the typical viewpoint discrimination from the far left.

Gore was not the first to resurrect and politically weaponize the old CO2 climate theory. That first happened in the UK.

The CO2 global warming theory was put forward by a Swedish physicist in the 1890s but never got much traction in climate science. Mainstream climate science looked at known climate history which followed alternating multi-century cycles of warming and cooling, CO2 and greenhouse gases were not a factor in those cycles.

In the early 1970s, a British science magazine, the "New Scientist" published an article that mentioned this then discredited and mostly forgotten CO2 climate theory. That got the attention of an advisor to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was then in major battles with the Marxist coal miners union and with Arab oil sheiks. Her government was pushing nuclear power as an alternative and saw this theory as something they could use for that purpose. They put out a bunch of government grant money for "science" that promoted this CO2 theory and found enough hungry scientists to jump on that grant money and give them the "science" they needed to resurrect the theory and play it in the media.

After Thatcher got what milage she could out of this revived theory to promote her nuclear power program, others picked it up for their own political purposes, not only Al Gore, but also the UN hierarchy..

Looks like JDavis may need some advice from Hood on how to deal with govt meetings where 3 of those voting will ALWAYS automatically disagree with anything that Davis is For. The beatings will continue.

I still havent seen a public meeting vote to hire the new manager.

John Valley, You said it right. It is a very complicated world for those who do not have a rudder. The rudders are ethics, Christianity and knowledge of our Constitution. It will become unbearable for many if the economy takes a steep or long lasting tumble.
