Historic ‘Soldiers’ Home’ is Being Turned Over to Migrants.

Officials in Boston, Massachusetts, are converting the Old Chelsea Soldiers’ Home into accommodation for illegal aliens, as American communities struggle to absorb Joe Biden’s southern border crisis.

Announced by the office of Democrat Governor Maura Healey, the decision follows existing migrant shelters hitting full capacity.

Approximately a hundred migrant families will occupy the Soldiers’ Home, founded in 1882 and formerly used to care for veterans. The Emergency Assistance Director, Scott Rice, claimed migrant families would need to prove their commitment to moving towards self-reliance.

However, whistleblower accounts from people working at Massachusetts hotels hosting migrants indicate they are draining a vast amount of public resources. They are also eating up first responders’ time due to “daily” incidents involving “fights, guns, drugs, [and] overdoses.”

Massachusetts state reports indicate the projected spending on feeding migrants alone could hit one billion dollars by 2025.

The Bay State is not alone in struggling to deal with the migrant crisis, however.

In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams says migrants are poised to “destroy” the city — despite having previously endorsed sanctuary city policies and cheered when Biden halted border wall construction.

Denver, Colorado, is also struggling to meet migrant costs, and the Democrat mayor of Chicago, Illinois, is suing bus companies to stop them from bringing migrants to the city, despite its “sanctuary” status.

Trump SecDef Says Jan 6 Committee Threatened Him Into Silence.

Christopher Miller, an Acting Secretary of Defense under Donald Trump, says he was threatened into silence by the Jan 6 Committee.

Miller says members of the committee, led by Democrats with the assistance of two ‘Never Trump’ Republicans, intimidated him into silence after he made media appearances and described how the Trump administration pushed for the National Guard to be deployed ahead of Jan 6.

The Jan 6 Committee, which tried to deny Trump authorized National Guard deployment, sent Miller’s lawyer “legalistic” missives suggesting he could be “re-interviewed” if he had “additional information he wants to share.”

“It was more that latent threat of: ‘If you want to keep going on TV, we’re gonna drag you in here again for additional hours of hearing testimony.’ So that was the nature of that whole thing,” Miller explained. “It was the latent threat of the government continuing to intrude into my life,” he added.

Miller said he believed Liz Cheney, who served as committee vice chairwoman, was its driving force, and pushed for him to be silenced because his testimony was a “serious threat to [her] narrative.”

“I didn’t talk about it with anybody else because of the fear or the concern,” Miller admitted.

“I wasn’t communicating with anybody, because I knew any interactions I had on it would result in me having to… acknowledge that I’d been in communications with other people. And then that just sort of opens up a whole can of worms with the investigators that I just didn’t want to do,” he admitted.

“It was much easier just to not be involved with anybody or talk to anybody about this stuff because it was going to cause conflict and difficulties with the investigating team, so I didn’t talk to other people, quite simply.”

The FDA Will Remove Its Snarky Ivermectin Tweets.

In a major win for health freedom, the FDA agreed to remove social media posts as part of a settlement in a lawsuit brought by three doctors accusing it of interfering in their ability to prescribe Ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

A quick refresher: During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, some doctors and researchers believed Ivermectin could be a useful treatment for the virus. But they were immediately met with widespread condemnation from the U.S. health bureaucracy.

  • In one tweet, the FDA falsely suggested the drug was not meant for humans, writing: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
  • In a second tweet, it said: “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”
  • Both tweets linked to an FDA website that said Ivermectin “was used for large animals like horses and cows, which weigh a lot more than we do.”

The lawsuit: In June 2022, doctors Mary Talley Bowden, Paul R. Marik, and Robert L. Apter sued the FDA, citing U.S. laws that say the FDA “may not interfere with the authority of a health care provider to prescribe or administer any legally marked device to a patient for any condition or disease within a legitimate health care practitioner-patient relationship.”

Victory: The doctors settled their lawsuit after the FDA agreed to remove both tweets and the article referenced above.

  • Dr. Bowden responded, saying: “The damage the FDA inflicted will linger, but future patients are now protected from one meaningful government intrusion into their medical care.”

The truth about Ivermectin: It’s an antiparasitic medication that has been used to treat humans across the world since the 1980s. It’s estimated that over 2.5 billion doses have been administered since its discovery.

  • Its discovery was so impactful that it earned the Nobel Prize in 2015.

NYC Petitions to Allow Non-Citizens to Vote.

The New York City Council is petitioning the state’s highest court to reverse previous rulings overturning a law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. Earlier this year, an appeals court designated the regulation unconstitutional. The legislation was set to grant nearly 800,000 green card possessors the right to vote in local elections.

“Today’s filing to appeal the Second Department’s recent decision seeks a determination from the state’s highest court that the law is consistent with the State Constitution, Election Law, and the Municipal Home Rule Law,” said City Council spokeswoman Rendy Desamours. “Empowering New Yorkers to participate in our local democratic process can only strengthen New York City by increasing civic engagement,” she asserted.

Staten Island President Vito Fossella, one of the lawmakers who filed the original challenge to the rule change, stated his intention to fight the Council’s efforts. “In plain English, the New York state constitution says only citizens have a right to vote in these elections,” Fossella said. “The city council has no authority to do what they didn’t,” he continued, adding: “We are going to be ready to do what we can.”
The February ruling against the law was the second time a court declared it unconstitutional. The law was initially struck down by the Staten Island Supreme Court in 2022.
The fight in New York comes as activists across the country are pushing to allow noncitizens to participate in U.S. elections. Last week, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., upheld a law allowing noncitizens in the district to vote in local elections. Earlier this month, a federal judge in Florida struck down a law banning noncitizens from registering voters.

Mexico Prez Threatens More Border Chaos Unless America Pays Up.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is warning that the influx of illegal immigrants at the U.S. border will persist unless the Biden government increases aid for Central and South American nations. Obrador made his comments during an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday. The Mexican leader added that the U.S. government would also need to lift sanctions on both Venezuela and Cuba.

The founder of the left-wing populist political party Morena, Obrador has used the U.S. border crisis to lobby the Biden government on a range of measures, including an annual $20 billion aid package for Latin American countries and offering amnesty to unauthorized immigrant workers in the U.S. Obrador first raised the issues of aid, work visas, and sanctions in January following a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Mexico City.

When pressed if he would step up efforts to curb the flow of illegal immigrants heading the U.S. border, Obrador responded via an interpreter, stating: “We do, and want to continue doing it. But we do want for the root causes to be attended to, for them to be seriously looked at.” The Mexican President told CBS that if the Biden government did not meet his demands, “The flow of migrants will continue.”

The U.S. border crisis has strained relations between the Biden government and Mexico. In February, Obrador demanded a formal apology from President Joe Biden after the non-profit group ProPublica accused the Mexican leader of accepting campaign donations from drug cartels. Obrador has also criticized the Biden government for their lawfare campaign against former President Donald Trump, calling the federal charges against him a “fabrication.”

Is There Going to Be ‘NATO Conscription’? It’s Possible…

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics urged NATO nations to adopt conscription as the military bloc continues to escalate tensions with Russia, sparking fears of a full-scale European war.

“There is a need for serious discussion about conscription,” Rinkevics said in an interview with The Financial Times. “Nobody wants to fight. But the problem is nobody wants to be invaded as well. And nobody wants to see Ukraine happening here.”

Rinkevics also echoed former President Donald Trump’s stance that European NATO nations must spend more on their own defense. ” We have to do something. At least have it 50-50 [between Europe and the US]. It would be better for us.”

Rinkevics comments come as NATO member states continue to interfere in the Russo-Ukraine war. French President Emmanuel Macron has adopted a pathologically belligerent stance towards Moscow, and it was recently reported that the UK already has boots on the ground in Ukraine. Following his victory in the presidential elections this month, Russia President Vladimir Putin warned that continued NATO interference could spark a third world war.

German-Based Pakistanis Arrested After Setting Own Home on Fire, Blaming ‘Nazis.’

A Pakistani family in Germany, described as “well-integrated” by their town’s leftist mayor, has been arrested for burning down their own home for insurance money. The Christmas Day arson attack was initially blamed on “far-right” extremists.

Sources indicate the family painted slogans such as “Foreigners out” on the walls of their burnt house in an attempt to divert the investigation. German politicians, including members of the Greens and the Left party, initially rallied in support of the family and against “Nazis,” holding candlelit vigils and denouncing racism.

Authorities say the eight-hour blaze in Wächtersbach, near Frankfurt, caused €350,000 (~$380,000) in damages. Police focused their inquiries on the 47-year-old head of the family after discovering he had fresh burns on his arm despite claiming to be away from home at the time of the incident.

The populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has complained the political establishment used allegations that the “far right” was responsible for the fire as “a welcome opportunity to inflict hatred and agitation on our party and our voters,” calling it “a slap in the face.”

“Almost reflexively, the [Social Democrats], the Left, and the Greens classified this crime as politically motivated,” they added.

London’s Globe Theatre Slaps Shakespeare Plays with ‘Trigger Warnings.’

Productions of famed Shakespeare plays such as Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, London, have recently been given “content guidance” trigger warnings. These advance notices caution viewers about depictions of suicide, violence, war, and “misogynoir references” — a newspeak term fusing misogyny and ‘racism’ against Blacks.

Esteemed Shakespearean actors Ralph Fiennes and Ian McKellen slammed the move. “There are very disturbing scenes in Macbeth, terrible murders and things, but I think the impact of theatre is that you should be shocked and you should be disturbed,” said Fiennes. “I don’t think you should be prepared for these things, and when I was young, we never had trigger warnings before a show.”

“Outside theaters and in the lobbies… the audience is warned ‘there is a loud noise and at one point, there are flashing lights, there is reference to smoking, there is reference to bereavement,’” noted McKellen. “I think it’s ludicrous, myself, yes, absolutely. I quite like to be surprised by loud noises and outrageous behavior on stage,” he added.

A recent study funded by the British government with nearly £1 million (~$1.26 million) of taxpayer money also asserted that Shakespeare has been “disproportionately represented,” enabling the dominance of “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives.”

WATCH: Baltimore Bridge COLLAPSES After Cargo Ship Allision.

A cargo ship allided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Tuesday, causing a near-total collapse. A large number of vehicles crossing the bridge plunged into the sea, with the Baltimore City Fire Department declaring a “mass casualty event.”

The ship has been identified as the DALI, operated by Synergy Group and chartered by Maersk. While it is flagged in Singapore, it reportedly has an all-Indian crew of around 22. They are currently believed to be largely unharmed beyond a “scratch on the head of one crew member.”

City officials believe “at least” seven vehicles are in the water but describe this as a “dynamic count” that could increase significantly. As of the time of publication, first responders, including dive teams, are on scene, but they are “battling darkness,” and changing tides represent an escalating challenge.

Two people are confirmed to have been pulled from the water, one believed to be in relatively good health and one at a trauma center in poor condition.

This story is developing…

Michigan to Offer Citizens $500 Per Month to House Illegals.

Michigan is offering a monthly subsidy of $500 to citizens willing to shelter illegal aliens and refugees. The ‘Newcomer Rental Subsidy’ is applicable for up to a year, with a maximum of $6000 per participating household.

Potential beneficiaries of the scheme include special immigration visa holders, asylum seekers, refugees, victims of human trafficking, Afghan nationals, Cubans and Haitians, Ukrainian humanitarian parolees, and more. Moreover, individuals processed through the ‘Family Reunification Parole Process’ from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, and those with pending asylum applications, are also eligible under this initiative.

The program is backed by $4 million in funding from the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund. Amy Hovey, Executive Director of the State Housing Development Authority, said the program was designed to help migrants “build a new life here.”

“This program is truly a win-win, as it addresses the most pressing barrier to refugee resettlement by meeting housing needs while setting up families for success with increased employment and opportunity,” Hovey said in a statement.

Michigan’s scheme follows earlier attempts by the state to convince citizens to pick up migrants from airports and host them in their homes. It comes as states across the country are struggling to afford to house the increasing illegal population. Denver, Colorado recently begged its property owners to begin housing migrants.
