Birthday Time Out
Thursday the 26th was Miss Schmidt's birthday and although we don't put a lot of celebration energy into birthdays, she decided to take off this coming week as she has vacation time building up and this was as good a reason as any to burn some. So posting will be hit and miss this weekend and the coming week because I have promised to carry her to the beach and spend some time riding around visiting some places and things and people we haven't seen in a while due to our health situation. There are also some restaurants we love that we haven't been to in a while. So bear with me as I try to spend some quality time with her and less time and effort blogging. I will be here, just less posting energy. The traveling is very hard on us and I want to make sure we both rest and recuperate and that overrides sitting in front of this computer.
Who Counts? Trump Poised To Try To Remove Noncitizens From Census
Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census.
President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined “to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month.
What Miller didn’t mention are the political implications of the administration’s move. It could have significant political implications because the census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow of trillions of dollars in government funds.
Some immigration researchers project that including noncitizens in the census count disproportionately benefits Democratic states with large illegal alien populations. A recent study counters that, based on 2020 census figures, there would have been a negligible shift to the political map had the U.S. government excluded noncitizens from that count. But looking backward, those researchers found, red states would have benefited under the administration’s desired census counting shift. Had authorities excluded such migrants from the 2010 census, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio and North Carolina all would have gained one seat in the House, while California would have lost three seats, and Texas and Florida would have each lost one seat – with the total number of Electoral College votes allotted each state changing accordingly.
Since the first census in 1790, the nation has counted not only citizens but also residents to determine such representation. In addition to citing its long history, defenders of the practice say it is only fair that states should be given the power and resources to represent and serve everyone within their borders.
Critics contend the government’s powers come from “We the people” – citizens or eligible voters – a government established before tens of millions of migrants resided in the country illegally. They also say the practice dilutes the representation of American citizens while incentivizing localities to promote illegal immigration.
Trump’s first term hints at what is to come if his administration vigorously pursues a citizen-centric census policy. In July 2020, when the president issued a memorandum to exclude illegal migrants from the census, blue states and immigration groups challenged it in court almost immediately.
Those challenges rose all the way to the Supreme Court. But it did not rule on the merits – whether all residents must be counted and if the president has the authority to exclude nonresidents – setting the stage for a battle over immigration and presidential power.

"Holistic Admission" Must Be Liberal Code For 'Undercover Racism'
Shaun Harper’s formal job title at the University of California is “Provost Professor of Education, Business, and Public Policy, Clifford and Betty Allen Chair in Urban Leadership, USC Race and Equity Center Founder and Chief Research Scientist.” He testified before the House Committee on Education & Workforce yesterday regarding the need for continued discrimination against whites in hiring.
Congressman Brandon Gene Gill (R-TX) exposed him as the racist he is:
(Interesting side note: Gill is Dinesh D’Souza’s son in law.)
(Another side ‘note/query’. What tf is “holistic admission?”)
What In The Wide Wide World Of Perversity Is Going On In Maine?
The fact that they’re using a fake woman to do the weather is bad but the fact that they’re using colors on that map for 70’s and 80 degrees that would, 10 years ago, have been green or blue is just flat out misrepresenting the temperature scale. Why are they trying to convince us that those great outdoor temperatures are going to burn us alive? This ‘climate change’ hoodoo cult is unfreakingbelievable.

I’d rather have hurricanes than have trans weather in Florida.

Yeah, it's orange. I would buy me an orange hat, put a Trump sticker on it and ride out. I like it and I've always been a suicide door freak.
Tom Homan Has A “Game On” Message For Mamdani
New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's apparent victory in New York City's Democrat mayoral primary has sparked a national conversation surrounding what it would mean for the future of the Big Apple - and the Democrat Party - were the Democrat Socialist party member to get elected in November.
Among the things he's pledged to do if elected are rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, raising the minimum wage to $30 by 2030, and "Trump-proofing" NYC, which would include ending all cooperation with ICE and "strengthening" Resistance efforts on behalf of illegal immigrants.
"He’ll ensure our immigrant New Yorkers are protected by strengthening our sanctuary city apparatus: getting ICE out of all City facilities and ending any cooperation, increasing legal support, and protecting all personal data," it was noted on Mamdani's platform page.
Naturally, such vows have gotten the attention of border czar Tom Homan, who said in a Fox News interview that federal law enforcement officials would be "doubling down and tripling down" on immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities like NYC and knew how to do end runs, if necessary, around whatever Mamdani has in store if elected:
