Pending Sales:

21 Sound Beach Avenue, $1.725 million, 7 days

9 Tamarack Place, $2.260 million, 3 days. I’d forgotten where Tamarack Place is, and I had to look it up to remind myself. It’s over in Glenville, and in fact, for what it is — a 1978 development carved out of the land originally atached to the 1875 house at 2 Tamarck Place, it’s a very nice street.

Reminder: this woman's constituents have returned her to office 18 times — she’s been in Congress for 35 years

I personally haven’t drunk raw milk since I spent summers in Vermont as a kid, but this is still fun to watch.

Asylum Fraud in Ireland, the UK, and the USA

Catherine Salgado, PJ Media:'

As multiple House Republicans cross the aisle to vote with Democrats on granting temporary protected status (TPS) or de facto asylum to hundreds of thousands of Haitian aliens in the USA, numerous instances of asylum fraud in both United States and Ireland are resurfacing on X.

The overwhelming majority of asylum claims in the USA are fraudulent. Under Donald Trump, the number of asylum seekers entering the U.S. dropped over 99% from Joe Biden's numbers, according to the Cato Institute, and that's because the claims were nearly all bogus. As for those who apply for asylum with U.S. immigration authorities, the Trump administration is approving only 7% of cases now, illustrating how insanely high the number of false claims are. This is important as the House has passed a resolution to give a form of "de facto asylum" to Haitians.

Yesterday, I reported that six Republicans voted with Democrats on Squad member Ayanna Pressley’s (D-Mass.) H.Res.965: Rep. Don Bacon (R-Nebraska), Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Flor.), Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Flor.), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.). On April 16, the final vote tally from Republicans in favor of the TPS for Haitians — according to Newsweek — was ten Republicans. Ohio Reps. Michael R. Turner and Mike Carey, Georgia Rep. Richard McCormick, and Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart joined the GOP traitors.

In response, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared video of over 15,000 illegal aliens from Haiti heading here during September 2021 alone. Over 12,000 of those illegal aliens made it into our country. Melugin stated that countless numbers of these Haitians deliberately abandoned their paperwork so that they could make fraudulent asylum claims. The Fox News team picked up many of the documents and IDs left behind proving that the Haitians had spent years living and working in South American countries before trekking up to the southern U.S. border with their fake tales of terror back in Haiti.

Impeaching Pete

John Hinderaker, PowerLine:

In a little over a year in office, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has achieved a series of military triumphs that have not, perhaps, been equaled since World War II: the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and the air campaign against Iran’s regime. These missions have been flawlessly executed by Hegseth’s department, so naturally the Democrats want to impeach him.

The first articles of impeachment were filed in January by Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar, but got little attention. A new, expanded set of articles was filed today. You can read the document here. Axios describes the articles here. The impeachment resolution is being introduced by Rep. Yassamin Ansari, not coincidentally the first Iranian-American elected to Congress. Co-sponsors include Reps. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Nikema Williams (D-Ga.), Dina Titus (D-Nev.), David Min (D-Calif.), Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), Brittany Pettersen (D-Colo.) and Sarah McBride (D-Del.).

>>>>

Hinderaker goes on to debunk and refute the specific charges, but they’re so specious that it’s almost not worth the bother; indeed, it’s precisely because the charges are so meritless that Hinderaker’s prediction is entirely, depressingly, believable:

I think everyone understands that impeachment is now a purely political act. Far from being guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, Secretary Hegseth has offended Democrats by disagreeing with them on policy and by scoring one brilliant success after another, thus making them look bad.

This impeachment effort isn’t going anywhere, but its filing is a reminder that if the Democrats take the House in November, as they almost certainly will, they will impeach President Trump and, probably, most members of his cabinet. They are that far gone in hate.

There's some dispute over the facts here, including whether he was acting as a private citien, off-duty, at the time, but it's Minneapolis, so ...

Price cut after just 3 days

/

21 Amherst Road, Riverside NoPo, from $2.150 million to $1,899,500. I’m no fan of 1961 split-levels, but I do approve of quick price adjustments when the market says “no”. The listing, by the way, says this is the property’s “first time on the market”. If so, gosh — there aren’t many such long-term ownerships in Greenwich, so good for them (or to the original owners’ original children, if that’s the case, and they took over occupancy at some point.)

Oh, it has nothing to do with a celebration of the 250th-year celebration of the founding of our racist nation, that's just coincidental

Killjoys: CA Coastal Commission Nixes Long Beach 4th of July Fireworks for Ludicrous Reasons

The California Coastal Commission is notorious because it is manned by extremist environmentalists who would put the safety of an endangered mosquito above the needs of the residents of the Golden State. While its charter is noble — to protect California’s spectacular Pacific coastline — it is infamous for going above and beyond its duties.

Now, the Grinches are determined to take away joy this July 4th in Long Beach, a port city approximately 20 miles south of Los Angeles, as they’ve denied a fireworks permit. Apparently, they want people to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday by watching the clouds.

It might pollute the water, they say. Don’t tell them about the Tijuana sewage crisis, which officials have done nothing about for years, where billions of gallons of sewage and waste are being dumped into the Tijuana River in Mexico. That lovely flotilla then flows north into U.S. waters.

Sorry, patriotism not welcome here:

For the first time in 15 years, Long Beach's "Big Bang on the Bay" will be lacking its signature "bang" after the event's fireworks permit was denied by California state officials.

The annual Fourth of July celebration, which typically lit up the night sky over Alamitos Bay the night before Independence Day, will be without its famous fireworks show after the California Coastal Commission denied the permit, leaving city leaders toying with the idea of canceling the event altogether.

"Fireworks to me, it just seems like the best way," said John Morris [who owns a waterfront restaurant]. "Any other option is going to be hard to rally as many people as we rally."

Now, if it were any other holiday …
