Progressives Demand Safe Spaces For Illegals

The progressive Democrat Washtenaw County Sheriff is very mad that ICE dared detain illegals in his jurisdiction.

The Detroit Free Press: ICE 'targeted' Ypsilanti parents near bus stop, sheriff says

 Because ICE should ignore illegals near bus stops, right?  Does the Washtenaw County Sheriff ignore other criminals because they happen to be near bus stops?

Who knew a bus stop was a criminal empowerment and sanctuary zone? 

Michigan Democrat politicians are now demanding sanctuary spaces be created where ICE cannot enforce out immigration laws.

 The bill package — introduced by State Sens. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield; Mary Cavanagh, D-Redford Township; and Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit — defines "sensitive locations" as "an educational institution; a place of worship; a hospital; the site of a funeral, wedding, or other public religious ceremony; a courthouse; or the site of an organization that is assisting children, pregnant women, victims of crime or abuse, or an individual with significant mental of physical disabilities,"

We will note that Federal Law trumps state law  (pun quite intended( - especially in the area of immigration enforcement - thanks to the Obama Administration suing states on the proposition that it is the federal government and not the states that enforce immigration law.

 So yes, the bill package is basically null on arrival thanks to the precedent set by the Obama administration's court action and these Democrat lawmakers should know that and thus are grandstanding and wasting legislative time with stupid bills virtue signalling on behalf of illegals rather than representing their legal constituents.

Or they are too stupid to now that, which makes one wonder why they are in our legislature and they're trying to be all hip and insurrection-y against the federal government in their quest to keep illegal aliens here at all costs, even above their legal residents.

Car Rams Into Detroit Metro Check-In Counter

On Friday, a driver rammed his car the check-in area at Detorit Metro Airport.

The Detroit Free Press:  Car crashes through Detroit Metro Airport's McNamara Terminal

Six people thankfully only had minor injuries.

This certainly showed one heckuva security hole at Detroit Metro, that the driver drove right through. 

The driver was arrested while ranting after the event.

Interestingly enough, even as the New York Post showed the driver getting hauled off into custody, he has still not been identified over 72 hours later.  There has been no news or updates of any charges or whether the driver was drunk, had a mental episode or this was something else.

Kinda strange, that.

Mixing Alcohol And Cold Has Consequences

The Detroit News: Body of missing teen recovered in Ann Arbor

A completely avoidable death and waste of potential.

Leaving a party to go out in sub-zero temperatures and brutal wind chill at 1 in the morning on your own after consuming a lot of alcohol  -- while wearing just a t-shirt and jeans is not going to turn out well.

In this case it did not turn out well at all. 

Apparently, he made it all of two blocks and then wasn't found for almost a day.

If you're going to be drinking underage at a party (or out drinking in any case, really), at least use a buddy system so you can look after each other, and be sure wear some appropriate clothes in winter for your own protection - not to mention just take an Uber home.

It's a damn shame this happened, and this kind of bad decision-making unfortunately keeps happening.

How Cold Is It Today?

It's so cold today, I saw something I haven't seen before:

A Democrat Politician with his hands in his own pockets.

Time To Sing The Cold Song

With the temperature now at -1 with a wind chill of -25 at the moment  -- and still dropping, it is time for the cold song:

It's Cold.  Cold.  Cold, Cold, Cold.

Colder than the frost on a champagne glass.

Colder than the hair on a polar bears a$$.

Colder than the nipple on a witches' t!t.

It's Colder than a pile of penguin sh*t.

Dress appropriately for the weather, and stay warm out there today folks. 

Yep, She's Going To Be Running

The Democrats so far have a rather thin and likely unelectable nation-wide field of candidates for 2028.

Kamala is just not going to win on a second attempt. 

Walz is neck-deep in corruption. 

Newsom may lead in California but his policies would make even most mid-western Democrats run away. 

Shapiro can't get past the anti-semites in his own party to make it to a VP slot, much less advance in the primaries. 

So it seems our own governor is prepping to throw herself into the ring creating a "social media empire" and laying the groundwork for a run:

She's running, bet on it. 

More On Progressives And Airplanes

So progressives in  Michigan are rather against ICE flying illegals out of the state.  

Possibly they are angry they'd prefer the illegals be bussed or even better taken by train out of the state, as progressives do love their trains.

We will note they didn't raise a peep when the Biden administration was flying illegals into the state. 

The Detroit News: Deportation critics target 'ICE Air' flights out of Willow Run airport

 Now, local activists are organizing a campaign to pressure the airport's authority from allowing detained immigrants to fly out of the historic Wayne County airport, even though legal experts say the authority is powerless to stop the flights. Activists oppose the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and argue that Wayne County resources shouldn’t support the federal government’s goal of deporting 1 million people each year. 

No it really does not work that way.  You can't discriminate about flights from airports like that, especially federal flights at a federally funded airport.  This is just more leftist activists trying to get some publicity demanding something that they know or should know cannot be done - but it does get them some media coverage for their latest cause.

A New Flight School in Minneapolis

Apparently a new flight school has been opened in Minneapolis:

 

While a normal Airline Transport Pilot needs 1,500 hours to get their ticket, since this flight school isn't going to be training their students how to land, they may just get it done in eight weeks.
