The View From Here

Let’s start in Florida, where it seems the DMV is no longer allowing changes to gender at local offices.

Look, I don’t care how you identify. Unless and until you force others to participate in your delusions it does not affect me in the least. If you identify as an attack helicopter, fine by me, but I’m not going to encourage your mental illness.

Anyway, the only reason I included this item is so I could post this meme:

When you try to register your Trans at the Florida DMV

Representative Cori Bush, D-MO, is under criminal investigation. It seems the Justice Department (finally) took notice of the fact she was paying her husband $600k a year for ‘security services’. Never mind the fact that he is not licenced to do so, either in Missouri or DC. I should also point out that she was paying $500k a year for the same services to real security companies at the same time.

Remember that Bush, a ‘Squad’ member, was a big part of the Defund the Police movement.


The IDF pulled off an audacious raid yesterday. 10 members of YAMAM, the Israeli police CT unit, infiltrated a hospital in Jenin in the West Bank and took out 3 Hamas terrorists. The operators dressed in scrubs in order to get to Mohammad Jalamna and two others. Jalamna was responsible for communications with Hamas leadership and coordinating weapons deliveries. Jalamna was using the Jenin hospital as a secret base of operations as he was planning an infiltration attack akin to and inspired by the October 7 massacre.


The Feds finally got around to releasing the December numbers for Illegal border crossings and the total will shock you. There were more than 302,000 ‘encounters’ at the southern border. That’s 50,000 more than the prior month and sets an all time record. Fiscal year to date, there have been more than 785,000 encounters at the southern border.

Nationwide encounters set a new record in December as well, topping 371,000 last month. That’s 15,000 more people than live in Cleveland, and 64,000 more than live in Cincinnati, all coming to the United States illegally in just one month.

I put scare quotes around encounters as it’s a term of art that was coined by the Biden Administration. It’s defined as the total number of aliens apprehended by Border Patrol after entering illegally plus inadmissible aliens stopped by CBP officers in the agency’s Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the ports of entry.

To say these numbers are unsustainable is a massive understatement. The lies and gas-lighting about the border coming from this administration has reached a fever pitch. Everyone involved needs to be impeached and removed.
