Pennsylvania residents are sleeping
better tonight as escaped murderer Cavalcante has been captured with the aid of
K-9’s who chased him and bit him as he tried to flee through the Chester County
Woods. His sister has been arrested by ICE though not clear if she tried to
assist him while he was on the lam.
The Blues who were stalling a
child trafficking bill in California’s Senate finally awoke to hear their constituents’
outraged words and passed the bill that makes child trafficking a serious
felony crime that mandates prison time.
Mitt Romney who has been accused
by many in his party as being a RINO has elected not to run for reelection in
2024 citing the main reason being his age but better yet has urged an even
older and way more mentally and physically impaired Biden to do the same and
join him in retirement.
On the
EV front, a massive deposit of lithium has been discovered near the Oregon
Nevada border which many believe will dwarf deposits in Chile and China.
Without an ample supply of lithium used in the EV’s the Biden Administration
wants us to buy to fight climate change and line China’s pockets, the push to
put more EV’s on the road will be slowed to a turtle like crawl.
On the illegal immigration front, the
Federal District Court Judge who ruled that the DACA program was
unconstitutional which the 5th Circuit upheld but remanded the case
to him to review the changes made to the DACA program allayed that finding and
he has just ruled that it still with the changes is unconstitutional.
On the invasion of privacy front on an American
Airlines flight to Boston a 14 year old female passenger stood up to go to the
bathroom in coach and a male flight attendant told her to follow him to use the
first class rest room as there was no line but then entered before her to wash
his hands before picking up trash and within a minute left so the girl entered
to find a red tape on the toilet indicating seat broken and a cell phone on
taped to it. She snapped a photo showing the phone and her parents alerted the
flight attendants and police met the airplane when it landed. After the plane
landed the girl and her parents were escorted off the plane to give statements
and then the male attendant was escorted off the plane by police.
On the diversity front the Trustees
of the Sunol Glen Unified School District in the East Bay which serves 278 K-8
students voted 2-1 voted to ban all flags other the U.S. and California flags
from its school flag poles.
On the strike front, the UAW is
preparing to go on strike if their demands for increased wages are not met in the
background of CEO and other executives’ pay reaching an astronomical 399 to 1
compared to a company’s median payroll average for its employees.
On the natural disaster
front, the death toll in the earthquake in Morocco has climbed to at least 2901
and the injured to 5530. Hurricane Lee, which has been downgraded to a CAT 2
and is now 345 miles southwest of Bermuda, is slowly churning along with best
estimates that it will make landfall between Maine and Nova Scotia.

Noted Holidays: Uncle Sam Day: Created
on this day in 1989 by President George H.W. Bush to commemorate this iconic
image of this nation that traces its usage to a meat supplier Sam Wilson who
supplied meat to American soldiers in the War of 1812 and was born on this day
in 1766. He stamped “U.S.” on barrels containing his meat which soldiers
starting calling the provisions as food from Uncle Sam which Sam Wilson started
to use to identify himself.
Word
of the Day: The word of the day is “attrite” which
means to gradually reduce the strength or effectiveness of someone or something
through sustained attack or pressure which the MSM has been trying to do to
Trump since the day he came down the escalator to announce his run for presidency
in 2015.
Song of the Day: The number 1 song
on this day in 1993 was “Dreamlover” by
Mariah Carey on a run of 8 weeks to share number 1 status with 10 other songs
achieving number 1 ranking while 6 acts achieved number one status for the first time. Here is a video recording with lyrics of
Mariah Carey performing “Dreamlover”:

September
13 Birthdays: “PAC Money Not Welcome”—Ro Khanna, born on this day in 1976
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of emigrated Hindu Punjabi Indian parents who has
served in Congress in California’s 17th District as a Blue since 2017
and unless term limits are imposed will probably remain there for decades.
Votes the Biden line 100 % of the times, calling himself a “progressive capitalist”
backed by Silicon Valley wealthy entrepreneurs which gives him the luxury of
being 1 of 6 House members who refuse PAC money contributions.
September 13 Historical Events in Rhyme
1. On
this day in 2001 in the U.S. the first step to normalcy back/Civilian aircraft returned
to the air after all being grounded due to 9/11 attacks/A day that will live in

Afghanistan to destroy Al-Qaeda who sent the terrorists to the planes hijack.

Israel’s right to exist in the Holy Land/To commemorate the signing of the Oslo
Accords/Which for both of them would mean a Nobel Peace Prize Award.
3. On this day in 1989
in South Africa in Cape Town/A march of 30,000 South Africans protesting apartheid

coffin to soon end in victory in the anti-apartheid fight.
4. On this day in 1962 a federal appellate court ordered the University of Mississippi to African American James Meredith admit/And for days the blocking of his admission such efforts by state officials did not quit/Rioting broke out over his admission/Frustrated President Kennedy sent some 3000 troops to quell the riot and force the state to the court ruling into submission/Finally after years of massive resistance to integration orders/That resistance came to an end and never again were troops called into the South to suppress disorder.

Quote on the Admission of
James Meredith to Ole: Ross Barnett, Governor of the State of Mississippi in
1962: “I speak to you now in the moment of our greatest crisis since the
War Between the States. We must either submit to the unlawful dictates of the
federal government or stand up like men and tell them, never! I submit to you
tonight, no school will be integrated in Mississippi while I am your governor!”
