A group of illegal immigrants in Denver is refusing to relocate from a tent encampment to shelters unless Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston agrees to their list of 13 demands. They are currently living in tents under a bridge and near train tracks as the Denver Human Services Department attempts to get them into city-funded migrant shelters, Fox 31 reported. The illegal immigrants, however, want the city to agree to numerous provisions for migrants staying in shelters, including allowing them to cook their own meals with “culturally appropriate ingredients provided by the City” and giving them free consultations with an immigration lawyer. “[T]he City will provide on-going legal support in the form of immigration document clinics & including transportation to relevant court dates,” the list of demands states. Jon Ewing, a Denver Human Services official, said the city is concerned about the migrants remaining in the encampment and being exposed to the elements. “We’ve been offering time and shelter, basically just trying to get families to leave that camp and come inside,” Ewing said. “Which comes with three square meals a day. You can cook your own if you like to.” Illegal immigrant advocate V Reeves said there isn’t enough food provided by the city in the shelters, and sometimes the food that is provided is “spoiled.” “There have been so many complaints about the food being spoiled or not being enough and malnutrition amongst children,” Reeves said. The advocate also said the migrants should receive “immigration document support” from the city. Reeves said it is “incredibly necessary for them to be able to navigate the bureaucracy around these systems.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP According to Fox 31, the illegal immigrants’ list of demands are: Migrants will cook their own food with fresh, culturally appropriate ingredients provided by the City instead of premade meals – rice, chicken, flour, oil, butter, tomatoes, onions, etc… Also people will not be punished for bringing in & eating outside food. Shower access will be available without time limits & can be accessed whenever – we are not in the military, we’re civilians. Medical professional visits will happen regularly & referrals/connections for specialty care will be made as needed. All will receive the same housing support that has been offered to others. They cannot kick people out in 30 days without something stable established. There needs to be a clear, just process before exiting someone for any reason – including verbal, written & final warnings. All shelter residents will receive connection to employment support, including work permit applications for those who qualify. Consultations for each person/family with a free immigration lawyer must be arranged to discuss/progress their cases, & then the City will provide on-going legal support in the form of immigration document clinics & including transportation to relevant court dates. The City will provide privacy for families/individuals within the shelter. No more verbal or physical or mental abuse will be permitted from the staff, including no sheriff sleeping inside & monitoring 24/7 – we are not criminals & won’t be treated as such. Transportation for all children to & from their schools will be provided until they finish in 3 weeks. No separating families, regardless of if family members have children or not. The camp will stay together. The City must schedule a meeting with the Mayor & those directly involved in running the Newcomer program ASAP to discuss further improvements & ways to support migrants. The City must provide all residents with a document signed by a City official in English & Spanish with all of these demands that includes a number to call to report mistreatment. Denver, a self-declared “sanctuary city,” announced budget cuts to police, sheriff, and fire departments last month to allocate more funding for illegal immigrants. The city is scrambling to shelter and provide for around 40,000 migrants who have arrived just in the past few months. A poll released last month showed that Colorado voters are frustrated with the ongoing illegal immigration crisis under President Joe Biden, listing immigration as the top issue facing the country ahead of the 2024 election.

In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden bestowed the highest civilian honor upon Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. The prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom was presented to Pelosi during a private ceremony at the White House, leaving many in awe of this unexpected act of appreciation. As the country continues to navigate through turbulent times, this heartwarming moment serves as a reminder of the power of bipartisanship and unity. It is no secret that Biden and Pelosi have a longstanding professional relationship, dating back to their days in the Senate. However, their bond has strengthened even further in recent years, as they have worked closely together in leading the Democratic Party. Despite their political differences, the two have demonstrated a remarkable ability to put aside their personal beliefs for the greater good of the country.

It serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that despite our differences, we can still come together and recognize the dedication and contributions of our fellow Americans. As Biden stated during the ceremony, "Nancy embodies the true spirit of this medal, which is awarded to those who have made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, or cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." The jigs up Nancy Pelosi, you lying rat. What dirt do they have on you, Hillary, Obama, & Biden? pic.twitter.com/oVQ2YCUp0F — TaraBull (@TaraBull808) May 5, 2024 Pelosi's impressive resume speaks for itself. As the first female Speaker of the House, she has championed numerous legislations and initiatives, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Rescue Plan. Her unwavering commitment to serving the American people has earned her respect and admiration from both sides of the political aisle. And now, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, her efforts have been recognized on the highest level. While some may view this as a political move, the significance of this moment goes beyond partisan lines. It is a symbol of unity and bipartisanship, something that has been lacking in our current political climate. As Pelosi humbly accepted the award, she emphasized the importance of working together for the betterment of the nation. "This medal is not just about me, it's about the people who have entrusted me to represent them in Congress. It's about the future and how we can come together to make it brighter," she stated. As the news of this ceremony spread, reactions poured in from all corners of the country. From fellow politicians to everyday citizens, the general consensus was that this was a much-needed moment of unity in a time of division. Amidst the constant stream of political controversies and disagreements, this gesture from Biden serves as a reminder that there is still room for collaboration and respect in our political system. In a world where negativity and animosity often dominate the headlines, the recognition of Pelosi's contributions with the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a refreshing change. It is a celebration of the power of collaboration and the potential for progress when we put aside our differences and work towards a common goal. And as we move forward, may this moment serve as a reminder that there is strength in unity and hope for a brighter future. What are YOUR thoughts? We want to hear from you!

People didn’t just give Sara Blakely lemons; they threw them at her like they were tossing rotten tomatoes at a bad stage show. So she picked them up and commenced to make some lemonade! While working in a sales job, Sara wanted the comfort and fit of pantyhose without the feet. She improvised by cutting the feet off a pair of hose, and the idea was born. SPANX came about due to her frustration of not finding the clothing she wanted. That was in 1998. Now, 26 years later, Sara Blakely is the success story our daughters dream of living. Getting the project off the ground took two years of research and work. Sara couldn’t afford a business attorney, so she filed for her patent and jumped through all the legal hoops to get her business going independently. Initially, Sara ran the business out of her Atlanta apartment on a shoestring budget while working full-time. Her initial investment was her life savings of $5,000. With a dream, a product, and sheer determination, Sara introduced SPANX to the world in 2000. Screen capture from Forbes. Finding a manufacturer for her product was a huge hurdle. After receiving rejections from almost every manufacturer in the textile industry, she found a home for her unique innovation. Sara did not have a sales force or professional models. She traveled the country, modeling and introducing her product to buyers and major players in the fashion world. Her first major client was Neiman Marcus. The product was highlighted during an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2000, and the rest (here comes that cliche) is history. Sara Blakely Is The Youngest, Self-Made Female Billionaire The young woman impressed Sir Richard Branson, a British entrepreneur, who contributed the $750,000 donation she used to found the Sara Blakely Foundation in 2006. The money was a gift after Sara appeared on Rebel Billionaire, hosted by Branson. Although she came in second, her business model impressed him. The Sara Blakely Foundation provides scholarships and grants to assist female entrepreneurs. In 2007, Sara donated $1,000,000 to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation in South Africa. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Blakely (@sarablakely) Forbes named Sara the youngest self-made female billionaire in 2012. She is listed on Forbes as having a net worth of $1.3 billion. She was on the cover of Forbes Magazine, and Sara Blakely continued giving back. In 2013, Sara committed to giving more than half her wealth to charitable causes. SPANX continues to grow under Sara’s leadership. They have added new product lines, including a men’s line in 2010. The bras, shapewear undergarments, and clothing have become a staple in many closets worldwide. This success story is ongoing. At 53, Sara has four children.
