It was on CNN yesterday, so 08/29/16 for you, I think.......

Between INS, the cops and Border patrol, we should already have enough officers to do the job..

If you did, you would not be having problems in non-sanctuary cities dude.

Yup. One i bought when i was stationed in Gulfport Ms, which due to the housing crash of 09, has not yet gotten back up in value to sell it off, and the one i bought for cash after cashing in a good chunk of my savings and such.. ONCE the market value of the one in Gulfport gets back up to where i am not taking a loss, i will sell it, pay off the remainder of the mortgage, and reinvest in my retirement funds..

So cash poor asset ok then.

Maybe the powers that be, see the Senate there, just like Obama does ours.. As a stepping stone in the way of what they want to get done.. so does it almost like executive orders..

Not really, It looks like it because the parliament has just gone back to session, so there is a backlog of stuff, and in comparison to the US, it looks fast

With all the problems we saw with obama care sites, and the like, i for one WOULD love to go back to the pen and paper ballots.. Just you know the dems will rant about how that somehow 'disenfranchizes blacks, cause they are too dumb to mark the forms etc"..

What?

My place of voting is a primary school, which didn't have wi-fi last time we had to vote. I do think they have internet but surely didn't have any in the classroom we were in.

Someone could easily bring a phone in with it's personal hotspot enabled.

Which would still not be able to connect to the computer.

No wifi, no connection.

It's not like pen and paper is absolutely foolproof. Like i said earlier, there were concerns with how easily fraud could be detected, not with fraud itself.

I remember a scene from a well known Belgian film about the rise of socialism during the turn of the century (20th century - early 1900), and the rise of the unions, and the right to vote.

In order to make sure the right people won, and thus not the representatives of the workers, one of the men counting the votes dipped his thumb in ink so that every paper he touched was therefore tampered with and considered invalid.

At the end of the year, after property taxes etc, for the past 4 years since buying this house in C/bus, i have been on average left with just around 1k in the bank. Then i get the tax return in March or so. BUT i still have around 13k left in mutuals/funds, a 10k annuity that comes due next year, and 35-40k worth of us savings bonds... So not really cash poor, but more 'liquid assets poor'..

Several times dems have argued against paper ballots, and in the way they have done so, it seems they are doing it by saing "its harmful to blacks as they are too dumb to know better'.. Such as their recent push in one state for 'down the line ballots', vice 'vote for each line item..

Considering how I had to change a letter today to clearly point out that both the front and the back have to be filled out in order to get the money they deserve -- I can only say that all people are stupid when it comes to correctly filling out forms. No, not stupid, just lazy.

I wonder where you heard that cause I can't find any news article on the matter, and it would be news.

I did find two cases of evictions of people who's building was repurposed as a refugee shelter in Germany.

Maybe you didn't look far enough, or the ones I found aren't MSM enough for this topic. It's taken me hours to track the following articles back down.

I don't remember how I originally came across these articles, but here they are ---- includes about donating or renting "holiday" / 2nd homes to refugees / asylum seekers.

"Wealthy Swedes asked to re-house asylum-seekers in their holiday cottages"
By SIMON OSBORNE
PUBLISHED: 17:01, Tue, Aug 9, 2016, UPDATED: 17:15, Tue, Aug 9, 2016
(express.co.uk)

WEALTHY Swedes are being urged to let asylum seekers move into their holiday cottages as local authorities struggle to tackle a growing housing crisis...
. . .
The local council's head of social services Ali Rashid said: "We certainly think there are many houses and rooms that can be rented out for the winter.

"Like many other municipalities we have housing needs. There are many groups that need help: refugees, young people and other people who have contact with us."

He continued: "How much is the rent will be a matter between them, the municipality does not interfere.

"We want the usual rental laws will apply. It should not be us who rents the houses.
. . .
"We have received very positive feedback and every extra accommodation we can access is valuable to us."

Here is another article (bold font for emphasis)---

"Swedes' Homes May Be Confiscated to Accommodate Asylum Seekers"
by Ingrid Carlqvist

...
August 3: It was reported that 2000 third-world immigrants are seeking asylum in Sweden -- each week. The largest groups were Syrians, then Afghans, stateless people, Eritreans and Somalis. The Immigration Service now reports that there are close to 50,000 asylum seekers living in various housing and rental facilities, and more are on their way to a country that already suffers from a major housing shortage.

The question is: Where will they live? More and more people are now worrying that the government will confiscate the homes of Swedes and give them to asylum seekers. In 1992, the "Threat and Risk Assessment Commission" (Hot- och riskutredningen) established that the government should have the option to seize property, especially summer homes, from the Swedish people in a time of crisis. In early September, editorial columnist Anna Dahlberg of Expressen, one of Sweden's largest dailies, urged Swedes to "make way" and "hand over the keys to their apartments to those in greater need."
...
August 25: Local politicians in small southern county of Örkelljunga (population 10,000) wrote a desperate letter to the government; its signatories begged for help in solving the problems brought by the wave of asylum seekers. The Immigration Service has opened housing in Örkelljunga for about 250 asylum seekers in apartments, a former motel, and a number of private family residences -- including housing for unaccompanied refugee children. An additional 100 units may open up in the Åsljungagården Hotel.

The local politicians wrote in their letter that crime rates have risen and that the police have been called on a number of occasions. Rape, assault, battery and shoplifting are mentioned, as is the temporary closing of the Centrumhuset youth center. At the largest housing facility, an old motel, there are 90 adults and children. The mix of various ethnic groups is said to have led to riots, threats and hunger strikes.
...

hmmm. Riots.. sounds like vandalism and miscreant behaviors on the loose. And who's at fault there?
The newbies or the oldies, or both..?

There were other articles that showed the refugees basically proverbially biting the hand that feeds them, too, as noted in these next few articles (in spoiler quotes for space)

Spoiler:

I found reading some of the comments from the readers also as ---- *Very enlightening* stuff in there..

**Coco Pops** · 31 August 2016, 08:55 PM

And yet governments around the world are too limp to tackle things like corporations milking the system and avoiding tax.

Interesting that Ireland is on Apple's side with this huge fine from the EU to the value of $38 billion.

Most people I know who have rented, don't want to rent out any more, because many of the renters trash the place -- whether intentionally or not, it's become a sorry status for folks who used to get some extra income managing their extra (summer or winter) home, when not using it.

If you are going to quote me, do it on what I am -actually- talking about, ok.
I was talking about Refugee's.

I did, AND so was I--talking about refugees.

Obviously, you (too) apparently missed the articles I noted above to Falcon Horus explaining those pesky details about refugees / asylum seekers people moving to better shelters, or more permanent home abodes, and basically being ungrateful for some quick "housing accommodation" fixes given at sometimes short notices.

Please see my previous post above (#post14510499, time stamp September 1, 2016, 12:04 AM, page 866).

Anywho, as a refresher summary of the previously noted above articles----
Several refugees who were moved into better buildings than tent camps, went on a rampage and trashed and burned their building shelter down. They wanted "housing" -- not apartment like hotel rooms. So, they trashed what they were upgraded to (stone/brick building shelter), and complained loud enough which led to the gov'ts asking residents with more than one home to "lend" those homes over to the refugees. Work out rent details later.. Give it to them for free now. The reader(s) comments in some other articles were saying to just hope that the refugees don't go around trashing the vacant holiday homes and 2nd summer or winter cottages like they did to the FREE camp shelters.

Respect is often earned. Nowadays, it seems *respect* doesn't even exist, except to give in to the demands of the person causing harassing and damaging problems.

Originally posted by Gatefan1976 View Post

That's not respect.

Of course NOT! That *was* the whole point. Our USA nation is getting more and more disgruntled by people being disrespectful in various ways, and claiming they demand to be respected or to have their specific complaint attended to with (*proper*) respect, and they will not let go of their method of complaining until they get their own way (by protesting in some offensive behavior that other folks believe does not warrant respect, but some sort of disciplinary action). THAT is the problem.

Respect is a 2-way street, but BOTH sides should be or *need* to be in agreement for such a behavior to be rewarded, instead of reproached or rebuked.

I'd hate to see what they've done to their own living abode... and I've seen and heard some doozey stories. (Drunk, drugs, mad at the world excuses..)

Lets add Martyr complex to pride.

Martyr complex has nothing to do with properly caring for a living abode that isn't yours in the first place or cleaning up someone else's trash when it lands on your property. Everyday it seems a certain few in the "burbs" or "hood" don't seem to find their own garbage can, and feel someone else's lawn or street is easier to dump on--that's just messing up the neighborhood. Our streets are littered with trash. Our neighboring woods is littered with someone else's trash. Some homeowner's just don't bother cleaning up the junk, because it isn't theirs and they don't want to come in contact with it; nor place it into a bag for the trash disposal services to haul away.

I actually got yelled at by our neighbor for cleaning up the litter someone else dumped on our lawn and into our garden(s). He said to leave it. I was like "What???!" -- I was thinking that piece of trash is not staying in my yard, and not on my side of the street, either! (BTW, I won't physically touch any of it without protective gloves!) But if he wants to live like a slob and be surrounded by someone else's trash, regardless of who dumped what where, that's his privilege (and he'll stare at until the street cleaners scoop it up--if then).

My decision to remove the discarded waste was partly because of his sanitary *sanitation* comment that I felt it was necessary to do what little I can to tidy up our dumpy neighborhood (and people have left their pet's poop on our property, too, cause it's too messy for them to bag..!). It might not make a difference, but at least I can keep track of what bugs and critters aren't crawling around from the trash that someone dumped, or the wind blew over. It just gets annoying looking at *stuff* that isn't your own, especially several days every week of the year. Some municipalities fine residents for not cleaning up their property -- depending on where it is, and if there are advertised house sales/rentals available nearby. That's not playing martyr--that's being respectful of one's surroundings and using common sense to maintain decent-hygienic property values.

I knew it was Donald Trump. My comment was indirectly stating that you made him look like Batman's joker character, etc.

You whole screed here, your pet thread, these are all geared towards "knowing" when the end will come, and how to see it coming.
My point however was to show you just how few people on this little rock believe in your Sky Father, nor should we have to.

FYI-- that *pet* thread you claim is NOT entirely mine. I was specifically requested by a certain GW member and reinforced by other GW members to go ahead with the topic. It's their topic, as well as me being the one who started it. So, when you are criticizing me, you are in essence criticizing them as well.

(Some of them still post in GW's Off-Topic threads.) That topic's basic stance is to track events that are affecting this earth, based on data that was stated in the ancient past--I said that on page 1 over there.

What each reader believes about such events is their issue. I'm just tracking data as I was asked to do so, but have tried to present it more interesting than just the usual ho-hum documentaries I grew up with in the past. Fortunately, writers nowadays, have at least tried to capture the attention of some very ADD and ADHD readers. When I nod off even when reviewing my own work, that's pretty bad; or else I'm just so tired from the research that I can't read any more and fall asleep..snooZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Glad i ain't living there then. I would be PISSED if the government just swooped in and effectively stole my property like that.

I've often remarked after reading similar stories (like the UK immigrant facility that got burned down BY the immigrants who then demanded to be housed elsewhere cause living conditions were ****), that the powers that be should tell those immigrants "TOUGH ****, you burned it down, now live with your acts"

Either that or boot them out.
I feel the same when it comes to prisoners who riot and burn their prisons down around them. Don't pay tax money to rebuild it.. IF THEY WANT IT REBUILT then they should fork out to do so..

OR BETTER YET......... Get the prisoners to rebuild the prison themselves.

But then if we did that we'd be oppressing them. Can't have that in this SJW run world.

So Trump meets with the President of Mexico who is hated even more by his own people then Trump is hated inside the USA.

I wonder how that meeting went, and if discussion of his great wall was brought up..
