Migrants in Mass.
A bus arrives with migrants from the United States southern border and Governor Maura Tracy Healey decides to shelter them at a terminal in Logan Airport. More migrants arrive and the governor decides to shelter them at Melnea A. Cass Recreation Complex in Roxbury. Another bus arrives and the governor decides to shelter them at Fort Point in the Seaport area of Boston. Well governor, I’ve got an idea, send some migrants to shelter in Arlington, Massachusetts. You ask why there, governor you know why.

Shrinkflation
Our resident in the Oval Office is all in or out on shrinkflation. Where has he been for the last 40 years? This has been a practice for a long, long time. The candy bar is the last straw, apparently.
He wants to make the practice illegal. Forget about the people who are costing taxpayers billions. It’s the candy bar that will ruin this country. So if he gets his way the products will go back to their original size and of course we will all pay the Biden prices which will be about 40% more than before the candy man was some how elected. MSNBC will undoubtedly cheer this bold step.
An elderly man with a poor memory. That will no doubt be used in many defense lawyers’ strategies in the future. If the American people should have learned at least one thing in the last seven years: There are now at least three things that are certain in life, death, taxes and Democratic lies.

AOC on asylum
Boy, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was sure vocal on the subject of stopping the deluge of illegal criminals into our country, tweeting: “Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles – we should commit to them.”
Then a 22-year-old nursing student was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who had been arrested previously in New York City and released. AOC has declined to comment since.

Political jousting
In the political world of knives and knaves, no one is unscathed if a partisan can gain even a scintilla of perceived credit against an adversary. Thus, we find Democratic knaves discrediting special counsel Robert Hur’s exhaustive and cogent investigation of Joe Biden’s classified documents retention case and Republican knives out for attorney general Merrick Garland for special counsel Jack Smith’s conclusions in Donald Trump’s classified documents case. The political commentariat, partisan auxiliaries on both sides, is a den of vipers, honesty and accuracy wanting. And they pay no price for their dishonest reporting, for they have no shame.
