While some Democrats are blasting Florida Gov DeSantis for sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard, a county official, Keith Chatinover, a progressive county commissioner for Dukes County, Massachusetts, where Martha's Vineyard is located, said less than a year ago that he would "love" to see the area become a home for immigrants.
He said that in response to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who was pushing a bill for Democrat-led areas like Martha's Vineyard to become ports of entry for processing migrants coming in from the southern border.

I heard the Martha's Vineyard homeless advocate (Seriously, they have homeless on Martha's Vineyard?) declared a "humanitarian crisis" and called the national guard (!) to deal with the plane load of illegals that arrived suddenly and unexpectedly on the billionaire retirement island.
Ken Burns, famous documentary maker, likened the country club island's new 50 residents appearance, as the like the holocaust. Yes, the genocide of the Jewish people by the Nazis. https://nypost.com/2022/09/16/ken-burns-likens-relocation-of-migrants-to-rise-of-nazis/
Martha's Vineyard is an island of 15,000 people, and at least 2 presidential dynasty families, with a dozen country clubs, at least 3 yacht clubs, 16 art galleries, and it is part of the state of Massachusetts.
About 60% of the residents are only seasonal, and they are mostly megawealthy, like Oprah, the Obamas, the Clintons, and Hollywood A listers
Unbelievable what's going on in the US since the pupet is in charge of the country.
ReplyDeleteHope Ron and Greg will send more... If they still have some.
Same problem in France and in Europe. Politicians, media, justice... All corrupt.
I've seen similar stuff in UK and Brazil. The conservatives/republicans/right-wing get more votes, get elected, but nothing changes. It's funny to see the hypocrite's faces but don't get so happy about it.
ReplyDeleteLoved what they did. Some lefty in Martha's Vineyard declared when interviewed that The Vineyard is not not equipped to welcome these people. AWWW, poor Vineyard residents!
ReplyDeleteYou left out the part where the local residents had no advanced notice ( but Faux News was waiting), yet they housed and fed the immigrants. Only then were they moved to Joint Base Cape Cod which has a village that is usually reserved to house military families, but has also housed Katrina refugees. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good story. Ok, go ahead and publicly attack me on your site now
ReplyDeletedo you have a blog?
DeleteNo.
Do you run with some news articles on your social media?
If so, do you let people find the entire story by including many links to various sources that collaborate the information you've presented? Aka, journalism?
No?
I do.
ABC, Fox, Al Jezeera, Today.com, even local news outlet from Texas that broke the story.
But, you ignored all that, and bitch about how this occurred (I only report on the news, I don't create it) and praise the residents for pitching in, only now, when suddenly the problem is in their front yard, not where it's been a daily occurrence for decades, in the border states of California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Florida... where no one from Martha's Vineyard has been affected.
So, those are the facts, I stated facts, just not anything past the headlines. Not the day 2 events, or day 3, or the lawyers, politicians reactions, or the ICE and Homeland Defence reactions.
So, you are on attack mode because I'm not a believer in your religion of politics. I report the news, sometimes.
Do you, ever?
It IS a good story, it's pioneering a new method of political intervention by changing the first stop of illegals from a border town, to the private island of the megawealthy.
Also, you nimrod, anything I say on my blog, in the fucking comments section, is hardly a public attack. Only about 4 people, other than me or you, will ever read this reply to your invitation to a rebuttal of your complaint about how I choose to report the news... which you were oblivious of the time I did so, before events unfolded that YOU wanted me to, either time travel to learn of and report on ahead of time, OR do follow ups.
I don't choose to do follow ups, and the immense amount of time to waste researching how the illegals get treated, by who, compare that to the way the illegals in California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Florida are treated, and follow up on how the Martha's Vineyard volunteers quit caring about illegals the instant there aren't any on the island, ignoring all that cross into the USA unless they suicide fly airliners into the twin towers (21 years ago the week of the Martha's Vineyard charter flight) and how the illegals get treated by the system in place to either deport them, or integrate them, in comparison to the hundreds of thousands in the past 12 months that didn't get the welcome wagon flight to the Massachusetts island, to the open arms of dumbfounded lefty liberals.
I choose to run the news about the averted railroad strike, the civil rights violation in Louisville of Tae-Ahn Lea, the auction of vehicles in Nigeria, record auction results in petroliana, and a flying hoverbike being sold in Japan on display at the Autorama.
You? Did you blog about news?
Nope.
You show up, when I'm busy, and complain that I don't praise your tribe, or do enough to follow up on ONE news event.
Now, I doubt, strongly, that you can see that this is not YOUR news channel, or YOUR news anchor.
Instead, this is MY BLOG.
I'm busy over here.
Idiots like you are always complaining, because you aren't creating anything.
The famous Theodore Roosevelt quote about striving valiantly and daring greatly
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

So, are you happy now?
Don't waste your time with the soyboys, Jesse. It's useless (like them)
DeleteFinished with your manifesto, I guess. Wow, it was about as coherent as the unibomber's. Blah, blah, blah....
DeleteMy issue wasn't with the story, but with your willingness to select only the facts needed to spin the story to meet your political agenda.
I've been reading this site for a while and it is entertaining until you interject your politics. But hey, you're right- it's your "Blog". You like to fervently remind us every time someone disagrees with you. We get it. It's Jesse's world and we are only allowed to comment if we praise you and your efforts.
So, you can get off your soap box now, I think you made your point (It IS somewhere in that rambling response of yours, right?) It's my fault, actually. As I said, I've followed this site for a while now and I need to remember that in the future when I want to respond, I need to consider the source.
I stated facts, just not anything past the headlines. Not the day 2 events, or day 3, or the lawyers, politicians reactions, or the ICE and Homeland Defence reactions.
DeleteSo, you are on attack mode because I'm not a believer in your religion of politics. I report the news, sometimes.
Do you, ever?
Once again, YOU miss that I did this news before YOUR preferred agenda items were met, if they were. It's not up to you to tell me when to report on news, as in, the moment the news breaks, which I did, or days later with context, comparison, and reactions.
Yes, THAT is what YOU prefer, and in your words "the story to meet your political agenda" so, I believe this makes YOU a hypocrite.
I'm not pushing politics, YOU are.
I reported on breaking news, WHEN it was breaking.
Again, do you?
Nope. It appears from your avoidance of answering every question I asked you, that you only complain about others don't adhere to your religion of politics.
That's too bad for you, I think you'd enjoy this constant bitching from people that don't like what and how YOU do news.
Also, I think you'd enjoy the experience of creating something.
It's quite interesting.
Oh, and you did ask for a rebuttal, and now you complain that you received it.
Huh.
You complain a lot.
Yes, yes I do remind everyone reading along, that this is my blog. Not your news outlet, not your political flag, not your religious leader.
It's a blog, my blog. It's for me. Not you.
No matter how many times I've pointed this out, some Poindexter like you fails to understand that.
Oh, not only are comments allowed when people like what I do, of dark and dense one, YOU are proof that even the comments that idiots make are allowed.
Not encouraged, but allowed. Even advised against.
But you utterly miss that your comment was not just posted, but responded to.
So, admit you're self centered, blind to the obvious, asked for what you received, and learn to quit complaining. It accomplishes nothing. Don't you want to accomplish something? Life's too damn short to just bitch.
Dogs bitch. They bark and bark, and accomplish nothing. That's sad, the world would be better if they shut the fuck up, and did something to help, like Lassie did.
Be a good boy, shut up, and do something helpful.
Make a blog, or twitter feed, and put your version of the news on it, at least weekly, and open your world to readers, and fans, as someone will always like something.
Even morons sniff their own farts.
There. Are we done now? You came for abuse, asked for it, and repeated your nonsense until you got a double dose.

Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
You sure do love to remind me (and others) that you have a blog, don't you? Was it because no one ever listened to you or found you interesting? Were you the kid who never got picked or the asshole kid who would take his ball and go home when they didn't get their way? I'm thinking it's the latter. But now you have your blog and can yell, "I'm important- look at me!" You want to attack me, that's fine. I don't give a fuck. I've been called worse by much better people than you. One last question before I go- Who hurt you Jesse? Who made you into this little tinhorn prick that you portray on this site? How did you become Mr. I am somebody, dammit! Pay attention? Enjoy your life, Jesse, because I will continue to enjoy mine. Good day, sir,
Deleteyou're not making any sense. Go back to taking your prescriptions
DeleteSmithhere - You got exactly what you asked for, and now you are complaining about how Jesse treats you on HIS blog, where you are a guest. You are making yourself look more and more foolish with each of your replies.
DeleteYou said that the people of Martha's Vineyard had no advance notice of the arrival of these immigrants. How much advance notice do the towns along the border in Texas, AZ, NM and CA get for the THOUSANDS of immigrants pouring across the southern border? And how many churches and organizations in those states provide food and shelter to the immigrants with no publicity or thanks from anyone in the rest of the country?
