The Brew: Here Comes Fall, Venezuelans and a Male Homecoming Queen

Happy Friday!

And welcome to the last full day of summer. Yep. Autumn arrives early tomorrow morning with the Fall Equinox.

Never really appreciated autumn until I moved to L.A., where come fall the only thing changing color is the people laid out on the beach.

But what about where you live or will be travelling? Fox Weather has posted when different regions will have their “Peak Fall Color.”

The Great America Giveaway Continues

The Biden Administration’s giving away of American sovereignty is accelerating, if you can believe that. On Wednesday, the Administration up and gave nearly half-a-million Venezuelans who came illegally to our country “Temporary Protected Status,” granting them work permits and deportation protection. Fox News’s Bill Melugin reports Border Patrol agents are “groaning” about this news, knowing it’ll simply encourage more illegal immigration.

This as a new wave of mostly single adults from Venezuela pour into Eagle Pass, Texas. Some 7,000 people in 72 hours, 3,000 Wednesday morning alone. A border agent described the onslaught to Washington Examiner as “collapsing operations.” It’s a “total free-for-all.”

The sick irony is our progressive regime is implementing the very same socialist-communist policies that turned the once-prosperous Venezuela into a collapsed state that people leave by the hundreds of thousands.

When asked Thursday about the staggering number of illegals entering the past couple days, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer.

Meanwhile, it looks like the White House wants to give illegal immigrants ID cards. Images of the planned “ICE Secure Docket Card” photo IDs were leaked to Fox News.

It gets worse. Documents uncovered by the Center for Immigration Studies indicate DHS has a new program that allows illegals to fly directly to the U.S. city of their choice using the government’s CBP One app. According to CIS, some 210,000 people have taken advantage of the program since January.

So the White House is taking action on the border.

“Historic action” indeed. Handing over our country the way Donald Trump was handing out pizzas in Iowa.

25th Amendment Watch

Yes, it’s been debunked every which way to Sunday. Trump never referred to the White Supremacists who marched in Charlottesville in 2017 as “fine people.” But that hasn’t stopped Joe Biden from repeatedly using that falsehood … that slur … to explain why he ran for president in 2020. He did it again Wednesday night at a campaign reception in New York City.

Except this time he did it in a manner that again suggests strongly, if not vehemently, that the Commander-in-Chief of the United States is incapacitated. Biden told the story of Charlottesville and Trump and why he ran. And then only minutes later repeated the exact same story nearly word for word. NY Post has the details.

Earlier in the day, Biden made a mess of a joint appearance with Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. On the way in, Biden bumped into the Brazilian flag and at the end he appeared to snub the Brazilian leader. Biden shook hands with International Labor Organization Director-General Gilbert Huongbo, but as Luna extended his hand too, Biden turned away and shuffled off, leaving a visibly irritated foreign leader.

It was only days ago that Biden bolted off the stage after presenting the Presidential Medal of Honor to retired Capt. Larry Taylor before the benediction, leaving the hero awkwardly alone on the stage.

Missouri High School Names Male Homecoming Queen

Can it truly be that none of the girls at Oak Park High School in Kansas City rate being a homecoming queen? The school selected Tristan Young, a male who identifies as female as this year’s Homecoming Queen.

This isn’t the first time Oak Park failed biology. According to Breitbart, the school elected a dude named Landon Patterson as homecoming queen in 2015.

Swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines was not impressed with Young’s victory over four young women. “Another reminder to all girls that men make the best women,” she tweeted.

Check out the biceps on that homecoming queen on the bottom left. Didn’t think you could bring guns on campus.

Further Evidence of the Dangers of Transgender Madness: Study Indicates 1/3rd of Children on Puberty Blockers Suffered Mental Problems

A 2011 study of 44 children put on puberty blockers by England’s Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service claimed the kids experienced “no changes in psychological function” from the drugs. Turns out that was false. As Breitbart reports, a new examination of the research indicates “34 per cent of children placed on puberty-blocking drugs ‘reliably deteriorated’, while 37 per cent saw no difference, and 29 per cent ‘reliably improved’ following the administering of the drugs.”

Last year, Britain’s National Health Service ordered Tavistock shut down after an independent review found that gender treatments were “not a safe or viable long-term option for children.”
