Earlier today I complained... OK, I remarked... that things had been quiet on the political front. Too quiet! Although this November's mid-term elections could be the most important in decades, the Excited States of America seems to be slouching towards the voting polls.
There was, however, one story which made the lamestream press sit up and take notice, because it cut too close to the bone to suit the propagandists for President Brandon's Dumbocrats. They've been trying hard to toe the party line that there is no crisis at the southern border. Sure, a few [thousand] "folks" are entering the USA without proper immigrant status. It's OK (they say) because America needs immigrants. And they will be welcome in the "sanctuary cities" where liberal, right-thinking Americans -- unlike those racist Republicans -- will be glad to look after them.
This week, Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R) put that claim to the test by shipping 50 (count `em, 50) illegals to the very Democratic island of Martha's Vineyard, the playground of the rich and famous, notably former President Barack Hussein Obama II. The residents were not amused, nor were they compassionate.
The undocumented migrants (to use the PC term) were shipped by bus and ferry to Cape Cod last Friday morning. It should have been easy to find places to put them up. According to the National Association of Realtors, about 55.5% of the homes on Martha's Vineyard are vacation homes, mostly vacant now that summer's over.
According to the New York Post, one local resident even urged former President Barack Obama to offer up his $12 million Vineyard vacation manse for shelter. The Post didn't say if the resident had his tongue in his cheek when he said that.
Apparently none of the vacation homeowners were willing to step up to the plate. Instead, they labelled the arrival of the unexpected visitorsus a "humanitarian crisis", providing care and shelter for them for two (count `em, 2) nights before putting them on a ferry back to the mainland, where they will now be looked after by... wait for it.... the Massachusetts National Guard.
They were transferred to Joint Base Cape Cod, a former Air Force base known locally as Otis Air Base. Plans call for Governor Charlie Baker (D) to "activate up to 125 members of the Massachusetts National Guard as part of this relief effort." According to a statement from the governor, "The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is coordinating efforts among state and local officials to ensure access to food, shelter and essential services for these men, women and children."
Walt is pleased indeed to award the residents of Dukes Country, which encompasses all six municipalities on Martha's Vineyard, our first ever Wally Award for Egregious Hypocrisy. Other "sanctuary cities" will surely follow your precedent as they plan their own compassionate response to the humanitarian crisis caused by [We regret that limitations of space do not allow us to publish the end of this sentence.
