‘Who Owns This Sentence?’ review JamesHoare Tue, 06/25/2024 - 10:15

A database detailing thousands of crimes committed by illegal aliens launched Monday.  IllegalAlienCrimes.com shows viewers a map that lets them zoom in on their community to see crimes there, drawing from local news reports, Immigration and Customs Enforcement statements, and open records requests. The federal government’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement reports that more than 70,000 illegal immigrants were taken into custody by its Enforcement and Removal Operations in Fiscal Year 2023 because they had criminal convictions or pending charges in the U.S.—in addition to 100,000 who it arrested for breaking immigration laws such as overstaying a visa, or being wanted criminals in other countries. But the details are often concealed from the public. Even in high-profile crimes, news outlets often omit the offenders’ immigration status: Last week, the Associated Press wrote a story on the killing of a 12-year old girl in Texas, without ever noting that the suspects are two men from Venezuela who entered the country illegally, were apprehended by ICE, and were knowingly released into the interior of the country by the Biden administration. The website is a project of the nonprofit Restoration of America and built by top conservative researchers including Hayden Ludwig. “Now the families suffering from this unprecedented Bidenvasion crime wave have access to the facts the left-wing media won’t report on so they can take action where the radical Left won’t,” Ludwig said in a statement. The researchers have documented 2,000 cases so far. The roundup of cases from the month of May alone included: In Alabama, a case of sodomy and a case of murder In Arizona,  an illegal with a previous conviction for child sex abuse arrested, as was and a convicted sex offender who was previously removed as an illegal immigrant but came back In California, a Columbian national with convictions for homicide and trafficking of firearms was discovered, as was an illegal’s “rape dungeon on wheels” In Colorado, illegal were arrested for attempting to defraud the elderly In Connecticut, ICE arrested an illegal who was previously convicted of manslaughter in the U.S. and sentenced to 17 years in prison followed  by deportation; state officials ignored the order and released him after 10 years In Florida, illegals were arrested in separate cases for child porn, sexual battery of a minor, sexual assault of a child under 12, soliciitng murder, and lewd and lascivious conduct with a child In Georgia, an illegal allegedly killed a woman by driving his 18-wheeler down the wrong side of a highway In Hawaii, an illegal from Mexico was arrested for for being a felon in possession of a firearm and reentry of a removed alien In Idaho, an illegal was arrested for murder In Illinois, a Venezuelan living in a migrant shelter allegedly dragged a woman down an alley while covering his mouth In Kentucky, an 18-year old who crossed the border as a minor was arrested for murder In Massachusetts, a man was arrested for being a convicted murderer in Colombia. ICE had previously arrested him and released him even though it knew he was a convicted murderer, but he was re-arrested at the urging of a Columbian diplomat, the site said In New Jersey, an illegal was arrested for allegedly touching a child sexually while she was sleeping In Nevada, an illegal was arrested on charges of sexual abuse of a child In New York, an illegal was convicted of raping a minor and another is wanted for allegedly shooting two people; he has been arrested at least six times this year but keeps being released In North Carolina, a man was arrested for rape In Rhode Island, an illegal from the Dominican Republic pleaded guilty of defrauding the government of $213,000 in welfare benefits In South Carolina, an illegal was arrested for DUI following a crash that killed a baby In Tennessee, a convicted felon and illegal immigrant was arrested after police found seven guns in his home In Texas, numerous illegals were arrested for sexual abuse of children In Virginia’s Campbell County, “Hiuder Pedro Javier Sacul Caal, an illegal alien who was previously deported, was arrested for the rape of a minor” In Wisconsin, an “illegal alien from Nicaragua who crossed the border in 2021 was arrested for child sexual assault, false imprisonment, child human trafficking and more.” Ludwig, one of the site’s researchers, said the aim is to “uncover the horrifying truth” of the immigration crisis. “Our team is doing the gritty investigative journalism America’s press is supposed to do to – but won’t – to uncover the horrifying truth about these crimes in this first-of-its kind repository,” Ludwig said. “But it’s incredibly important that there’s a tool we can all use to see how close this ‘Bidenvasion’ policy failure has gotten to our very own backyards.”

'Here is the bigger point, this is Joe Biden’s Democrat Party'

Cheese is milk that's been fermented and aged, but the process is a controlled one that strikes the right balance of bacterial activity to delicious cheesy goodness. Some traditional approaches to making cheese have pushed the boundaries of what’s safe for human consumption, and perhaps the most talked about is casu marzu.Casu marzu is a delicacy that hails from Sardinia. It looks a bit like the consistency of scrambled egg, and is created with the aid of maggots that remain alive and leaping in the cheese when it’s eaten by humans.The larvae are from the cheese fly Piophila casei. They’re pretty active, capable of jumping 15 centimeters (6 inches) in the air. It’s considered harmful in the food industries, but as a detritivore, it can be dead handy in forensic investigations – and as a cheese addict, it’s pivotal for the creation of casu marzu.Also known as the cheese skipper, or ham skipper (they also love ham), they get their name from their incredible ability to propel through the air as larvae. Where these leaping larvae get a bit dangerous is when it comes to ingesting them – intentionally or otherwise – as, according to the University of Florida, they’re often cited as a cause of intestinal myiasis. That icky condition is basically when maggots set up camp in your digestive system.“Intestinal myiasis occurs when fly eggs or larvae previously deposited in food are ingested and survive in the gastrointestinal tract,” explains the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention. “Some infested patients have been asymptomatic; others have had abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.”For this reason, larvae-containing casu marzu is often reported as the “most dangerous cheese in the world,” and yet the BBC’s Vivienne Nunis was told that it’s been a delicacy enjoyed for thousands of years in Sardinia. Nunis certainly wasn’t put off, describing the flavor as, “Very strong, a little tingly. It’s very nice, it’s like parmesan cheese. I didn’t notice the maggots at all.”Typical cheese production entails heating milk and adding bacterial cultures and enzymes to ferment the dairy, but in casu marzu, the fermentation is assisted by the cheese skippers. A wheel of cheese is cut open to give the flies a chance to lay their eggs, and as the larvae emerge they start wriggling around inside it, fermenting it as they go.According to Atlas Obscura, casu marzu is made using sheep’s milk – but if live maggots aren’t quite challenging enough for your palate, perhaps you could try introducing the ham skipper to whale cheese?

GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky slammed President Joe Biden's adminstration's posture toward China in a piece posted on responsiblestatecraft.org."The reality is that the Biden administration's China policy is a disaster for U.S. security and prosperity. President Biden seems content to sacrifice peaceful relations and the benefits of trade with China for short-term political advantages that come with insisting that China be an enemy of the United States," Paul wrote.'China largely approaches its foreign policy in a transactional manner ... 'Paul asserted that the U.S. should seek "a stable, working relationship with" the foreign power."The president must prioritize the national interest above political expediency. China is poised to remain a formidable economic and military power. If we want to ensure our children and grandchildren inherit a secure America abound with economic opportunity, then a stable, working relationship with China, guided by mutual respect and good faith diplomacy, must be pursued," Paul declared."China largely approaches its foreign policy in a transactional manner, which should present us with chances to genuinely negotiate with Beijing to achieve our objectives," Paul wrote.Last month, the White House indicated that "to encourage China to eliminate its unfair trade practices regarding technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation, the President is directing increases in tariffs across strategic sectors such as steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals, solar cells, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products."Like Blaze News?
