When will the riots start over his wrongful death by NYC because they cared more about illegal "newcomers" than fire protection and put on a pedestal along George Floyd by the media? 9999hair out0000

A New York firefighter, who was laid off to redirect funds to illegal migrants, died of a heart attack April 15, according to the New York Post.

Former New York Fire Department (FDNY) firefighter Derek Floyd, 36, died of a heart attack, four months after his dismissal amid New York City’s budget cuts to address the migrant crisis, New York Post reported. Floyd, a veteran of three Middle East tours with the Marines, is survived by his widow and their two young children.


“I wouldn’t wish it on anyone,” Floyd’s widow, Cristine, told the New York Post. “I think it definitely took a toll once they let him go. He always tried to, like, stay positive about it, and he wasn’t really angry.

You are delusional if you think Bezos is paying 40% in taxes .  Btw I am not envious of the super rich. I am very wealthy myself. Not a billionaire but near the top.
Nice language btw. I can tell I am winning the argument

:silly:

No, actually, you’re not.  You’re simply delusional and, as Lenin himself put it, a “useful idiot”.

Chicago’s Longtime Undocumented Immigrants Push Feds For Work Permits: ‘Why Not Us?’

As new arrivals receive federal work authorization, many undocumented immigrants are stepping out of the shadows and demanding work permits after waiting for decades.

Estela Gamino watched over her children as they bounced around their gray couches inside their apartment on Chicago’s North Side.

“He just joined sports. My other daughter, she stays for…band,” Gamino said, not long after picking them up from after-school programs.

Gamino remembers not being able to participate in these programs as a child. Her mother was always working while navigating life in the United States.
 
“Since I had kids, I always thought: “Well, I’m gonna try to be really involved,” the 33-year-old said.

It's great to see a loyal bunch of Americans in Taxachusettes stick it to those damn veterans who gave years of their lives to defend the nation in favor of the law breaking, welfare loafing, ungrateful people who criticize and hate America.  It's about time states showed the world what America is really like. :#@$%:

Title IX is part of a federal law, passed by Congress, is that not correct?

If so, then...
... how can a diktat from the administration "redefine" an existing law?
The way the BATFE has redefined a machine gun as any part unique to the function thereof.
Or maybe like how the EPA defined Carbon Dioxide as a pollutant.
Let them get away with this stuff once they use it everywhere.

Separation of powers has been severely screwed with.

Massachusetts Kills Plan to Prioritize Homeless Veterans Over Migrants
Published Apr 29, 2024 at 11:37 AM EDT
 
All but two Massachusetts House Democrats voted against an amendment to provide statewide shelter priority to U.S. military veterans over migrants.

On Friday, all 25 Massachusetts state House Republicans were joined by two others across the aisle in voting for Amendment 698 as part of House Bill 4600. The amendment introduced by Republican Minority Leader Bradley Jones, titled "Homeless Veterans Prioritization for Shelter Assistance," failed on a 27-129 roll call vote.


"It's extremely disappointing that most Democrats were unwilling to support an amendment to prioritize eligibility for the state's emergency housing assistance program for honorably discharged homeless veterans," Jones told Newsweek via email on Monday.

The vote occurred one day after a supplemental budget was sent to Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, who in October said that her state lacks the space, services and funding to safely expand beyond providing shelter for 7,500 families—of which that quota was nearly reached prior to Halloween amid a migrant surge to the Bay State. Massachusetts is spending about $75 million each month on state-run shelters, according to The Boston Globe, after Healey declared a state of emergency last summer.
