Remember last fall when Florida Gov. DeSantis sent illegal aliens to the sanctuary state of Massachusetts and deposited them in Martha’s Vineyard? The illegal aliens lasted only 44 hours before the city got rid of them.
Professional virtue-signaling expert NYC Mayor Adams
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is also a virtue-signaling hypocrite. His state and city are sanctuary havens for illegal aliens yet when the reality of their offer sets in, they offer zero compassion.
Case in point, from NY Post: “Sobering video show migrants sleeping on cardboard outside iconic NYC hotel as shelter hits capacity.” From the article:
“The group slept shoulder-to-shoulder across three full blocks while waiting to be taken into the currently full city shelter as NYPD officers monitored the situation.
Heartbreaking images showed crowd-control ropes separating the migrants from passersby, as those waiting for access to proper shelter huddled under blankets with their belongings alongside them.
Groups of migrants also have slept inside white “dollar vans” parked outside the hotel after they were turned away because of overwhelming numbers.
“Right now, it’s essential that we get on top of the inhumane & concerning conditions immediately as we figure out how to change intake,” frustrated City Council majority leader Keith Powers (D-Manhattan) tweeted over the weekend, citing “the situation” at the Roosevelt.”
It’s been almost a year since Mayor Adams committed (virtue signaled) to be a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens. He obviously didn’t take that commitment seriously as he leaves illegal aliens sleeping along NYC sidewalks.
Back in March this year he knew the city was unprepared to deal with the reality of harboring illegal aliens. But he stuck to his conviction (virtue signaling) and now the “compassionate party” is treating these people as nothing more than dogs.
These people may be out on the streets yet we all know the real reason why the demorat virtue signaling for illegal immigration will continue:

“Gender-affirming care” is anything but healthy, especially for minors who have yet to go through puberty.
Delaying puberty (through use of puberty blockers) can result in problems with one’s chromosomes that can affect normal growth processes resulting in Turner Syndrome or Klinefelter Syndrome.
A study from the UK Tavistock and Portman National Health Service Foundation Trust showed that children’s bone density and normal growth flatlined with puberty blockers as compared to their peers, and participants reported no improvement in their psychological well-being.
Also, the majority of children who take puberty blockers do not resume puberty.
The only way to stop the castration and mutilation of minors is to fight back and hit the “doctors” where is hurts: Financially. Two young women are taking that step: Prisha Mosley and Soren Aldaco.
Prisha Mosley
Prisha, who lives in Michigan, developed Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria at age 12. Her dysphoria was aggravated at age 14 when she was sexually assaulted. Reports the NY Post:
“I literally hated every aspect of who I was and what I was and what I looked like,” Prisha said. “I spent some time being a girly girl and being a tomboy and being a smart girl and being this [other] girl, but none of those different hats fit me. And so I was like, I guess I’m just not a girl.”
Prisha “socially transitioned” at 15 with the support of her parents. The online transactivists applauded her and guided her to transgender specialists. After much bullying and manipulation of her parents (“Do you want a dead daughter or a living son? Do you want to pick up your daughter’s hormones or her body from the morgue?”) she began “gender-affirming care” (testosterone treatment) at 15. At 18 she had a double mastectomy.
Fast forward three years later and Prisha realized the transition didn’t help the underlying issues. At 25, Prisha suffers vocal cord pain and severe vaginal atrophy from the testosterone treatment. She says she lost part of her nipples after they were grafted back on during her mastectomy. Because of her mastectomy she will never be able to breastfeed, and she doesn’t even know whether she is still fertile. Prisha is now suing the medical team that misguided her through this “gender-affirming” care.
Another woman who regrets her “transitioning” is Soren Aldaco, who lives in Texas. She is suing her doctors for $1 million.
Soren’s ordeal began at 17 when she began taking puberty blockers and says she was pressured into a botched double mastectomy. Soren says that the doctors and a nurse practitioner pushed her to transition. The result now is “irreversibly disfiguring and disabling” and the “professionals” ignored a host of mental health challenges she was struggling with at the time. From Fox News:
“Aldaco, who is autistic, said she was battling depression and anxiety as a teenager when she was hospitalized with a manic episode at 15. After a short meeting with a psychiatrist there, Aldaco said she was “coerced” into coming out as transgender. Two years later, Aldaco connected with Del Scott Perry, a nurse practitioner with Texas Health Physicians Group at a transgender support group. After sharing her mental health struggles and identity confusion with Perry, Aldaco said the nurse practitioner encouraged her to begin medically transitioning and wrote her prescriptions for “an outrageously large off-label dosage” of testosterone, the suit alleges.”
The medical transitioning community has a lot to gain from continuing their practice of manipulation, castration and mutilation of minors. The cost for transitioning treatments is very, very expensive.
Hopefully one day sanity will make a return and adults will realize that physically altering (0therwise healthy) children for life is pure evil. Until that happens, the only way to stop this form of child abuse is to hit ’em where it hurts: In the wallet.

Liberal cities and states are disintegrating before our very eyes. Portland, Oregon is an example of the consequences of elections.
In May 2020, Portland city commissioners voted to cut nearly $16 million from the police budget in response to complaints about police force and racial injustice. As a result:Portland had a 300% increase in murders from July 2020 to February 2021. In the first two months of 2021, 17 people were murdered — a 1,600% increase from the one murder reported during the same time period in 2020.
In 2022, Portland’s homicide number was higher than the city’s 20-year average.
Calles (formerly Reginald Kane Jackson) had a lenghtly criminal record (which began in demorat-run California) that included:
Attempted second-degree assault (for stabbing a man in the face with a knife; he was placed on probation for three years)
Reckless driving
Driving with a suspended license
Third-degree criminal mischief (prosecutors dropped the charge)
Attempted murder
Robbery
Battery
Disorderly conduct
Vandalism
Calles also had mental health issues (obviously).
Read the whole sordid story of this criminal’s background here at The Oregonian.
No amount of new gun laws would have stopped this guy. He was also ordered to undergo drug treatment and have a mental health evaluation. Obviously that didn’t happen or change his behaviors.
The only solution is to punish the criminals. Or try electing bureaucrats and politicians who care about punishing criminals and preserving law and order in their cities. Yet I’m not going to hold my breath that liberals will learn to do that in the near future. They never learn:
Large swaths of the United States, as well as European countries (Spain, France, Italy, and Greece), are in the grips of extreme heat.
If you’re in an area with extreme heat, here are some pics to lighten your mood a little.
On a more serious note, if you’re in extreme heat, you need to take caution.
This is what extreme heat does to the human body (source: The Telegraph):
Professor Mark Whiteley, venous surgeon and founder of The Whiteley Clinic in London, explains: “We have to keep a consistent internal body temperature of 98.6°F degrees otherwise the enzymes in our cells and cell walls start changing shape and that can cause irreversible damage.Think of an egg white – once you cook it you see that protein turn white, and it won’t go clear again even if it cools down. If you get too hot the processes in your cells don’t work; that’s what kills you. Everything else from dehydration to vein dilation are secondary issues with their own side-effects. Once you get over about 107.6°F internally you get heatstroke. Your mental functions start shutting down and your cells stop working. Everything else you might notice about getting unwell in the heat is just the systems that are trying to keep you cool, failing one by one.”
Symptoms of heatstroke include a high body temperature (above 104°F), altered mental state, confusion, dizziness, hot and dry skin, rapid heartbeat, a loss of consciousness and, eventually, death.
High temperatures can place extra stress on the cardiovascular system, as the body works harder to cool itself down. This can lead to an increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and potentially exacerbate underlying heart conditions. In short, this means you’re much more likely to have a heart attack when you’re hot because when you get hot, your veins get very dilated, especially on your head and scalp, which is where you lose a lot of heat. This can cause veins to look bigger and the skin to look redder as the blood is diverted close to the surface to cool down. You’ll particularly notice this in your face because the body loses most heat from the head. More worrisome is the increased risk of blood clots when you’re very hot. When you’re dehydrated, water leaves the blood to be sweated out, so you get more cells in the blood, making it thicker and stickier, increasing the chance of a clot and a heart attack.
In extreme heat, the air can become dry, hot, and polluted. This can irritate the upper respiratory system and cause it to constrict and exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. In extreme cases, this broncho-constriction can cause people to experience a shortness of breath because the irritation of the upper respiratory system is stopping the body from being able to transport as much oxygen to the lungs. In hot weather especially, the body trying to maintain a normal temperature requires extra oxygen, which can be dangerous, especially in people with asthma.
High temperatures can also impair cognitive function, affecting attention, memory, decision-making, and concentration. Heat-related cognitive impairment can lead to decreased productivity, impaired judgment, and increased risk of accidents or mistakes. As the body tries to divert blood to the skin to cool down, the brain is getting less than it needs. Sweating causes the body to lose vital minerals such as salt and electrolytes, which are required for sending signals to the rest of the body. If these nerves are less able to function, it can result in fatigue, decreased alertness, and overall mental and physical sluggishness.
The elderly, young children and individuals with medical conditions can be far more susceptible to extreme heat because they have a less efficient thermoregulatory system, which makes them more prone to dehydration.
What to do?
Stay out of the heat! Stay indoors, ideally air-conditioned. And don’t be an idiot by actually exercising outdoors like this 71-year-old man who hiked 4 miles in 120°F Death Valley, and promptly dropped dead (video below).
Stay hydrated by drinking water.
Replenish your electrolytes by consuming foods naturally rich in potassium, magnesium, and sodium, such as bananas, avocados, coconut water, leafy greens, and natural sea salt.
