Pence and Quayle, cheap goods. Two of the cheapest one could get from America's Midwest. That's candid.

At one time in the USA, owning slaves was part of the American Dream, so that we could have cheap goods. Defending the offshoring of slave labor so we can keep having cheap shit without having to witness the evils of forced labor? One step worse imho than allowing domestic slavery.

FOXNEWS.COM: Daycare in wealthy enclave shutters after housing fugitive child predator arrested by ICE

A home daycare in Cape Cod has shuttered its doors after local news revealed a fugitive illegal immigrant from Brazil, who was wanted for child rape in his home country, was living there.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE ERO) Boston arrested Andre Tiago Lucas, wanted for the rape of a 13-year-old child in Brazil, in Bourne in October of last year.

"It's absolutely disgusting and shameful, and it never should have happened, but it doesn't shock me," Massachusetts Republican State Rep. Steven George Xiarhos told Fox News Digital. "I was a police officer for 40 years right here on Cape Cod in the county of Yarmouth, so I'm familiar with background checks. I'm familiar with people who break the law. … This never should have happened. Someone like that, first of all, never should've been in the country, and then never should've been in Massachusetts, but he was, and how did that happen?"

A Brazilian court convicted Tiago Lucas of rape of a vulnerable person in 2016 and sentenced him to serve nine years and four months incarceration, according to ICE. He then fled Brazil and made his way to Massachusetts.

Thanks for nothing Biden, you fucking putz.

Pence, since Jan. 6th, has turned out to be an even worse TDS infected RINO than Mitt. Nothing he does surprises me anymore, he is such a loathsome man. And I'm convinced that he was a trojan horse in the White House, he was responsible for advising and pushing Trump on so many terrible decisions.

Seems he was the establishment representative. Doing the way the old Republican party always did.

“Billionaire Harvard alumnae Bill Ackman offered some brutal suggestions for his alma mater amid the school's ongoing battle with President Donald Trump.

The US president has taken aim at the Ivy League university for its failure to address anti-Israel protests on campus - and has already frozen $2.2 billion in federal grants to the school.

He has since asked the Internal Revenue Service to remove the school's tax-exempt status, and on Monday, Trump's Department of Education announced it was freezing even more funding for future research grants and other aid until Harvard concedes to a number of demands from the Trump administration.

Rather than meet these demands, though, Harvard is suing the Trump administration in an effort to get its federal funding restored.

But on Monday, Ackman called out that decision as 'the wrong thing to do' in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box.

Instead, he suggested that the school acknowledge 'the areas where the president is absolutely correct' and work to address those issues.

The CEO of Pershing Square went on to say that he agreed with Trump's decision to pull his alma mater's tax-exempt status - which he called a 'privilege, not a right.' …”

Alumnae is female plural. He is an Alumnus, male singular.

Biden says "what the hell's going on here?" about Trump's Greenland, Canada comments
By
Updated on: May 7, 2025 / 1:19 PM EDT / CBS News

In former President Joe Biden's first interview since leaving office, he slammed President Trump's foreign policy, describing Mr. Trump's actions toward Russia as "modern-day appeasement" and saying "what the hell's going on here?" about what he called Mr. Trump's "confiscation" policy regarding Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

"What the hell's going on here? What president ever talks like that? That's not who we are," Biden told CBS News partner network BBC News. "We're about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation."

Mr. Trump met Tuesday with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose Liberal Party's victory in the April elections appeared to be influenced by Mr. Trump's stance. At Tuesday's Oval Office meeting, Carney said Canada "won't be for sale, ever," while Mr. Trump mused, "never say never."

Mr. Trump has taken to referring to Canada as the 51st state, although he said in an interview last week that "I don't see" using military force in Canada.

But, he said in an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" that "something could happen with Greenland, I'll be honest," adding that "we need that for national and international security."

Even before Mr. Trump took office in January, he talked about acquiring the Panama Canal and Greenland, and he has ramped up his rhetoric on Greenland in recent weeks, declining to rule out military force. Greenland is a semi-autonomous state in the Kingdom of Denmark, although there is a U.S. military base, Mr. Trump's comments have not been well received there.

Biden spoke to BBC News ahead of the 80th anniversary of V-E Day, or the day that the Nazis surrendered in Europe. While in office, Biden had pledged support to help Ukraine after the Russian invasion, even linking World War II and Ukraine.

But Mr. Trump has taken a different approach toward Russia in the conflict, and has blasted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as being ungrateful while also signing a deal with Ukraine for minerals.

Biden called the Trump administration's policy "modern-day appeasement" to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Listen to what Putin said when he talked about going from Kyiv into Ukraine, and why he can't stand the fact that the Russian dictatorship that he runs, that the Soviet Union has collapsed, and anybody thinks he's going to stop is this foolish," Biden said.

Biden continued that he "found it sort of beneath America the way that took place," as well as Mr. Trump's actions renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Mr. Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office to rename the Gulf, and has since blocked Associated Press reporters from covering certain Oval Office events for refusing to comply with that order.

Mr. Trump has long been suspicious of the alliance with Europe formed after World War II, saying in March that the continent has been "very, very bad for us."

Biden said forming NATO is "one of the smartest things we did," and called it a "grave concern" that the alliance could be ending.

"I think it would change the modern history of the world that occurs," Biden said. "Look, we are not the essential nation, but we're the only nation in a position to have the capacity to bring people together, to lead the world, and otherwise you're going to have China and the former Soviet Union, Russia stepping out."

In response to Biden's comments, White House spokesman Steven Cheung posted on social media that Biden is a "complete disgrace to this country and the office he occupied."

Democrats have fumed and struggled to reorganize themselves after Mr. Trump's victory, with much of the fury going toward Biden for staying in the 2024 race for too long. But Biden said Wednesday that he didn't think it made a difference, adding that "we left at a time when we had a good candidate."

"Things moved so quickly that it made it difficult to walk away to get and it was a, it was a hard decision," Biden said.

But when asked if he had any regrets about dropping out of the race, Biden said it was the "right decision."

Biden had largely stayed out of public view after Mr. Trump's inauguration, although he spoke at a Chicago conference in April and attended Pope Francis' funeral last week.

Albany sneaks in budget language that would put NY taxpayers on the hook for Letitia James’ legal bills if she’s probed by Trump admin.

https://nypost.com/2025/05/07/...h-james-legal-bills/

Taxpayers could be on the hook for legal bills New York Attorney General Letitia James racks up during Justice Department probes into her alleged fraudulent real estate dealings, The Post has learned.

Albany Democrats are expected to sign off on a provision allowing certain officials to tap into a $10 million fund to cover “any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred” as part of a Trump administration-led probe tied to their state-based employment.

The language is being slipped into New York’s operations budget bill — one of several expected to be made public and voted on starting Wednesday as the Legislature move to pass next year’s fiscal plan.

Multiple sources told The Post that the specific language in the bill would apply to James’ looming legal fight.

It would also cover other state employees whom the Trump administration considers going after, the sources added.

While the bill language shared with The Post doesn’t mention James by name, the relevant section indicates state employees could be covered if the “legally compulsive process” was initiated by the US government after Jan. 1, 2025.

James, who infamously declared that “no one is above the law” when she was prosecuting former President Donald Trump, was hit with a DOJ criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud last month.

The bill would cover those who “obtained representation by private counsel in response to any request, summons, command, subpoena, warrant, investigative interview or document request, audit or legally compulsive process initiated after January 1, 2025 by the United States government and in which the employee was or is involved as a result of the employee’s New York State employment or duties.”

For dermatitis (localized eczema, very intermittent flare-ups, and never something that'd interfere with civilian employment) I needed a waiver. It was eventually approved, but not without a mind-numbing array of tests and examinations by a series of military and civilian physicians. The waiver came with some scary (to the 19-year-old me) language that warned about how Uncle could change their mind at basically any time. Even 19-year-old me understood "Needs of the Service."

By contrast, continuous hormone treatments at government expense, on top of tolerating the underlying mental disorder, were okay with a later administration.

One of those two positions was wrong. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the first.
