Then cut all govt handouts.
The illegal parent with legal children receiving aid is less than 5%. Over 90% are US born and most are White. They are leeching just like the rest of them. I don’t want my tax dollars going to any of them.
These are your “struggling” Americans.
I love people of Walmart. I keep waiting to see one of my relatives in one of those pictures.
But Walmart is really pushing for SNAP benifits to be reinstated. They take in something like a quarter of all SNAP spending (25 billion), and because of low wages their workers receive an additional 6 billion in wage subsidies.
Makes you wonder who SNAP really benefits.
Damn dude, surprising numbers!
There’s a reason why so much big money flows to Democrats, too. Rich people love Republican tax breaks, but they love the easy flow of tax dollars just as much, if not more in some cases.
In local news, a controversial candidate is running for Lewiston City Council in Ward 5. Iman Osman is hoping to unseat the most conservative member of Lewiston’s council.
He was appointed to the school board by our woke mayor to fill a seat that was vacated when the person moved out of the ward. The mayor did this AFTER a DEA raid at Osman’s listed residence was carried out. Osman was taken out in handcuffs, but never arrested.
With less than a week before the elections, he still has the condemned property listed as his Ward 5 residence, is still on the school board, and hasn’t been taken off of the ballot yet. Our wonderful city clerk recently brought this up to the mayor and city administration, but no action has been taken yet.
On top of ALL that, there’s also this letter that was sent to the city after he was appointed to the school board.
Is it possible to call Pam Bondi and request a Special Prosecutor?
Or get in touch with 60 Minutes to get a reporter with connections and an expense account on the case?
Ronan Farrow is doing an expose on case in a town around here. Who can you get to blow your town’s situation up?
I really can’t wait for the court to clarify this. Basically, bring it back to how we understood it in 1868. If the parent is illegal, the child is not legal. Sorry to divert from your point about people leeching off the system, but the idea of crossing the border and shitting out a kid and somehow they’re a citizen is retarded.
Oh, we all know. It’s another form of corporate welfare.
It’s good to see an actual example of Corporate Welfare. The term gets kicked around often, but it’s usually not elaborted on.
There’s an active DHS federal investigation going on that I suspect involves Osman. Plenty of people in the federal government know about Lewiston shenanigans. It’s just a matter of resources and federal political priorities.
That’s unlikely. Reporters didn’t want to probe into how The Maine Community Foundation distributed mass shooting funds to immigrant and prisoner nonprofits. Osman’s nonprofit, The Lewiston/Auburn Youth Network, was a recipient of these funds to the tune of $65,552. There seems to be VERY little enthusiasm for covering stories in depth that involve “New Mainers”. I’ve been in communication with one of the victim’s aunt who has shared some of the correspondence with media concerning the mass shooting funds. There are reporters who show interest, but it seems like their bosses don’t set them loose on the story.
Steve Robinson of The Maine Wire was recently on the Shaun Ryan show to talk about Chinese Mafia marijuana grows, but I’m hoping he continues to get more invites. He’s definitely a Rogan-worthy guest who can go into great depth about what’s going on in Maine, and he’s quite familiar with Lewiston shenanigans. He’s the one who exposed a good chunk of it.
The wheels of justice turn slowly…
Maine is small potatoes on the Trump admin’s list of “problem jurisdictions”. We only send four people to Washington, and one of our Senators is Susan Collins who is a reliable establishment Republican. That’s who the guy who had a Nazi SS tattoo his whole adult life is trying to unseat by saying Bernie Sanders and AOC things, but sounding like a tough guy while he does it.
Even if DHS “surged” Maine and deported every illegal in the state, we’d still probably have the same congressional representation in Washington. Plus Jared Golden is about as close to an R as you can get while still being a member of today’s Democratic Party. He’s sometimes been the lone D to break ranks. Angus King is nominally an Independent Senator, but he’s a de-facto Democrat. Maine’s first congressional district is solidly Democrat and I don’t see anything changing that soon.
There’s a lot of local noise getting made about Osman right now. It seems like a pretty clear-cut case of perjury on election documents to me. If he’s still on the ballot come election day, that means he’s got enough friends in the government to experience Maine’s two-tier justice system. That two-tier system is why you can kill a guy with a rock in Lewiston’s largest park and be out of jail in a couple of years, if the right optics are present.
The same people every nice-sounding program benefits.
It looks like Lewiston’s city attorney is allowing Osman to run in Ward 5 with a condemned apartment that was the site of a meth bust as his residency. He “intends to return”, after all.
I’m pretty sure I live in a corrupt narco state. It sure explains a lot.

Damn, never thought I’d see the day. I get it, but I was very surprised.
Shakey is a reliable RINO. Her and Lisa Murkowski are a coalition of weak spines.
Also, from an economics standpoint Nazi tattoo is atleast consistent. Not that the people voting for him understand that. National socialist German workers party.
“Platner” is a Germanic name, so it’s entirely possible that he was a legit German supremacist who admired the Nazis at one point. He certainly still admires their economic policies and their vague rhetoric that combined identity politics with class warfare. Promising a better future is really easy when you use enough vague words and name the right out-groups.
Apparently they’re square
If you feel like going down a rabbit hole.
WOW, instead of addressing what I said, you decided to make the issue a racial one?? My point of contention was simply US citizen intended benefits going to people who illegally, and knowingly, entered our country. According to the USDA:
SNAP recipients represent different races and/or ethnicities. White: about 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent. (About 16 percent of participants are categorized as “race unknown.”
And seeing as how white Americans are still the largest ethnicity (not sure if that is even true anymore, but it probably is) in the US, the above percentage makes sense. When you look at the other races listed, those percentages are in fact a much larger percentage of their population as a whole. I merely state this because you seem to have an obvious problem with poor white people, your pictures say as much. The intention of my previous post was pointing out the illegals, even when they have their “legal” baby in the US, are still receiving benefits that could go towards helping actual American citizens. Many of the poor US citizens receiving benefits DO work and thus pay taxes into they system, albeit many are low wage jobs but taxes paid are taxes paid. Again from USDA directly: Many SNAP households have earned income. Almost one-third of SNAP households have earned income, though only 20 percent of households have gross monthly income above the federal poverty line.
Or do you just not want your tax dollars going to people solely based upon their race? You might as well have just said it straight out. While you might not like the people in the sad pictures you posted, they are still American citizens. And cut all government handouts? You just sound ridiculous now. Cut all benefits for people who knowingly entered our country illegally, I’d sign off on that. They all made the conscious decision to break the law, and nobody’s buying they were seeking asylum from this or that, they left because their countries are poor and broken and the democrats in our country rolled out the red carpet for them, with free hotel rooms, delivered meals, money, clothes. What the Biden administration, and democrats, did was immensely damaging to the US healthcare system, schools, infrastructure, etc.
Ok. I was the first to call this guy a potato when he was elected. Now I have to eat sime crow. I like him. He must not have a leash to yank like Mayor Adams did, or it certainly would be getting yanked by now.
Still looks like a cross between a Ferengi and a Klingon though. Not gonna retract that.
