"Journalism", Part II — Woe among the Breton Reds

'Oh, Dear, Muffin! Whatever Shall We Do?' The Trauma Of Martha's Vineyard v Illegals Continues

…. ISLAND CLEANSE COMPLETED

Or almost. The island natives apparently had done some picking and choosing among the newcomers before booting the vast number of them, and found four of them to be acceptable enough to allow them to remain.

I don't even want to tell you what that sounds like, particularly when one wound up being a housekeeper.

...There was much rejoicing.

…She said it was important to her to pay her own way and not become a burden on the community that welcomed her. Her employer, a woman in her 60s who declined to be named because she was employing someone without a work permit, said Ms. Cauro felt like part of the family.

A million-dollar home excavation project has been delayed because workers were too afraid to show up at the construction site. A pool at a vacation inn was closed to guests after the maintenance crew didn’t arrive. And entire businesses on this New England island have shut down.

Life on Martha’s Vineyard and the adjacent island of Nantucket has been disrupted since officers arrested dozens of immigrants late last month, igniting fear among undocumented workers who form the backbone of the workforce here just as the busy summer season gets underway.

“The money is just going to stop flowing,” said a 33-year-old Brazilian man who owns three businesses on the Vineyard and spoke on the condition of anonymity because he has no legal status in the United States. “The U.S. is only losing in pushing us out.”

Masked immigration officers wearing bulletproof vests arrived on Coast Guard boats right after the Memorial Day weekend and detained several dozen people on both islands. Federal authorities described the arrests as part of a massive sting across Massachusetts that resulted in nearly 1,500 arrests. On the islands, about 40 people were detained, including an alleged MS-13 gang member and someone described as a “child sex offender,” according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Boston. Most had no criminal record and were stopped on their way to work, community members said.

The arrests hit a nerve in a liberal enclave known for welcoming everyone: presidents — former president Barack Obama has an oceanfront property here — LGBTQ+ activists, racial minorities, celebrities and a large cluster of immigrants from Brazil. People checked in on friends and warned them to stay off the roads. Residents staged a protest at the ferry docks where agents were loading shackled migrants onto boats. One man followed the officers with a camera and heckled them.

I feel your pain, Rex, and I know that asa does, too. We’ve brought you flowers

Wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann says he’s her ‘hero’ — and reveals creepy take on first jailhouse visit

“I haven’t seen him in all this time, and when I went down there, I was excited, and like I was, I don’t know, I guess on a first date. You’re nervous, you’re scared. You don’t know how the date is gonna go,” she said.

Asa Ellerup, 61, said during an explosive interview in the upcoming Peacock docu-series “The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets” that she is convinced cops have the wrong guy — and that her “wonderful” husband isn’t the monster who killed and mutilated seven sex workers on Long Island over nearly 30 years.

“[But] I love hm no matter what.”

Can you spot the “citizen” here? Gavin Noisome can, but then, he’s a Democrat

UPDATE: You’ve probably had enough of this topic, but PJMedia’s Victoria Taft has an excellent post up looking at Newsom’s role in encouraging and enabling this riots and ensuring they spread. Worth reading.

King Charles ‘livid’ as royal family’s cherished Christmas pheasant slaughter faces cancellation

King Charles is said to be “livid” that he won’t exactly get Christmas cheer this year.

The Sun recently reported there is a potential shortage of pheasants at the monarch’s Sandringham Estate, which could affect the chances of a full shooting calendar this winter.

It is known as one of the monarch’s favorite pastimes during the holiday season.

“King Charles III is livid, frustrated and disappointed, reflecting both his deep personal attachment to the cherished family tradition and his broader commitment to his royal heritage,” British royal expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital.

The poor royals — will their woes never end?

You can't say they didn't warn us

“Don’t underestimate what Democrats can accomplish with a unified delegation at the state capitol.”

  Across the U.S., Democrats are waging war to crush a lifestyle they abhor. Call it small-town America: single-family neighborhoods, quiet streets, town centers stamped with their own historic character, and almost no signs of the vagrancy and homeless encampments that plague cities.

        Democrats want you to have none of this. If you've worked for years to save up for a home in one of these havens, forget about it.

        The Democratic Party is using brute legal force to remake towns using a cookie-cutter formula that forces each to have the same proportion of houses and apartments, the same mix of low-, middle- and upper-income residents, and the same reliance on public transit, all controlled by state politicians.

        Any town that resists gets shamed as "segregated" -- though this isn't about race -- and "snobby."

        On Saturday, the Connecticut legislature passed a bill, H.B. 5002, which should be called the Destroy Connecticut Towns Act. It's headed to Gov. Ned Lamont's desk for signature. The new law dictates how many low-income and moderate-income apartments each Connecticut town must provide, and mandates that towns also foot the bill for the schools, parks, public transportation and other services low-income residents will need. Local taxes will soar.

        The bill explicitly says its purpose is to ensure "economic diversity" in each town. This is about social engineering, not remedying housing shortages.

        Democrat Bob Duff, the state senate majority leader, says "it's extremely important ... that we don't segregate people based on a ZIP code." Everyone, regardless of income, should have the opportunity to choose to live in any town.

        The bill mandates that the wealthiest towns, mostly in lower Fairfield County, provide most of the new housing, even though that raises the cost. Land costs less in other towns, and lower-income people this bill is supposed to serve are more likely to find bus transportation and affordable stores in these other towns as well.

        Connecticut lawmakers are nixing local rule. Ordinances that protect the appearance of a town have to be overruled. The bill states that multifamily buildings of up to 24 units will no longer have to provide off-street parking. Envision cars lining every residential street.

        Towns also will be forced to welcome vagrants who want to sleep in parks and public lots. The bill outlaws "hostile architecture," meaning park benches with armrests and divided seating, or stone walls with spikes on top that deter sleeping in the rough.

        Instead, the bill launches a program of mobile showers and mobile laundry services on trucks to serve the homeless wherever they choose. Picture the mobile showers pulling up to Greenwich Common Park on the town's main street, or Waveny Park in New Canaan.

        How can kids walk around town with their pals if there are homeless encampments? Judge Glock, director of research at the Manhattan Institute think tank, points out that the homeless amount to 1% of the population in Los Angeles but commit 25% of the homicides. Inviting the homeless means inviting crime and drugs.

        Californicating the small towns of Connecticut by encouraging public camping and vagrancy "is frightening," says Glock.

      ….

        Similarly, in New Jersey, Democratic Gov. Tim Murphy is pushing lawmakers to override local ordinances and impose the same kinds "reforms" as those in the Connecticut bill.

        In all these states and across the country, small-town Americans need to fight back. There is no constitutional right to live in a wealthy town with single-family homes and leafy, quiet streets.

        It's something you earn.  Once you've purchased a home, you have a right to protect its value.

There's a reason why hard drinkers and reporters — but I repeat myself — shouldn’t post on social media or send emails after, say, 8:30 PM

ABC's Terry Moran suspended after journalist slams Trump, top advisor in since-deleted post

Moran said Trump and Stephen Miller were each a 'world-class hater'

Trump had this hack’s number back in April:

Moran interviewed the president after his 100th day in office, during which Trump called out the ABC correspondent for his questioning. 

Trump accused Moran of "not being very nice" during an exchange about the deportation of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

"They’re giving you the big break of a lifetime," Trump told Moran. "You’re doing the interview, I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s okay. I picked you, Terry, but you’re not being very nice."

Moran also pressed Trump on his relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin. 

"I don’t trust you. I don’t trust a lot of people," Trump responded. "I don’t trust you. Look at you. You’re so happy to do the interview, and then you start hitting me with these fake questions."

And:

"We had a president that was grossly incompetent," Trump said. "You knew it. I knew it. Everybody knew it. You guys didn’t want to write about it because you’re fake news." 

"By the way, ABC is one of the worst, I have to be honest with you," he added.
