I live in a small town in Kansas, population about 2500.
There's a new housing development in our town, 120 houses in all.
I inquired and to qualify to "buy" the house, you have to be an undocumented migrant (it's basically free and property taxes and maintenance are paid for first five years).
We already have 400-500 Spanish-speaking illegals here, put up at taxpayer expense in the town's three hotels (which used to be for truckers passing through and hunters in season).
If an illegal family of 6 occupies each of the 120 houses, that's 720. Assuming the illegals in the hotels move into the houses, 22% of our town will be "undocumented migrants" by this time next year.
Oh, by the way, our property taxes are going up to pay for the infrastructure for the new development.
We had a literal zero crime rate before the illegals were sent here. Now we have lots of property crime, still not much violent crime. Local cops are totally inadequate to the task. They took the job expecting Mayberry and instead are getting actual crime.
We're being colonized, folks, and the illegals are putting down deep roots.

I was a teacher for thirty years and at one time, I taught in the Palm Springs School district. We had so many schools where violence was so bad that teachers were either quitting to go to other districts or transferring to the few schools in our district that weren't plagued with serious violence. I worked in one of the "good" schools, and we had fights several times a day between students--I was also threatened numerous times by parents with serious bodily harm and even murder. And Palm Springs is far, far from the worse school district in California, or indeed, this country.
Schools don't exist in isolation: they reflect what's going on in society. The family unit has broken down, the middle class is shrinking, there is no respect for legitimate authority, and the result is chaos. No, it's not wokeness nor CRT nor cellphones nor the teachers unions (which are often toothless, despite what the public believes) that are to blame--it starts with the family. Kids aren't taught respect and discipline at home, so they don't show any at school. Teachers cannot raise children nor give them values; we can only reinforce what's being taught in the home.
Turning our schools into prisons isn't going to fix the problem. The problem is outside the schools. When I started teaching, one call home to the parents usually fixed all but the worst discipline problems. Now, the kids call their parents and the parents threaten the teacher with violence and a lawsuit, and sue the school district at the drop of a hat (intimidation by lawyers is what I call it). People seem angrier every year and more and more prone to violence, and the very idea of granting authority or respect to anyone else--a police officer, a teacher--offends them.
I don't know how we fix this, but I know that unless we address what's going on outside schools, our schools will continue to be chaotic and dysfunctional.

The next step will be physical violence against critics of the transgender movement. In fact, in the case of former UK swimmer Riley Gaines, this has already happened: a mob of trans activists attacked her at San Francisco State University and held her captive for three hours, and attempted to extort money from Ms. Gaines. We've also seen violent protests against Matt Walsh, Posey Parker, and Michael Knowles--but so far, none of them have seriously injured or killed critics. It's only a matter of time until they do so.
All critics of the transgender movement will be banned outright from social media platforms before that happens, though. I'm surprised we're still allowed to discuss it even on demonetized channels, but that won't last long, either.
The final step will be to make criticism of transgendered people or their ideology a criminal act, i.e., "hate speech" that can be punished with fines and jail times. That, too, is in our future.

Just to be clear: I won't reply to any comments that say this is the fault of the teachers unions, or woke educators, or cellphones, etc. Because none of those are major issues. Unions have been calling for SAFER schools--why would the unions want schools to be more dangerous? And the nutjob "educators" you see on TikTok are a small, noisy, visible minority who won't last in the profession more than a few years. I lasted thirty years and you have to be tough to do that, because it's a hell of a job.
The main thing that's changed? Parents are now our enemy--they send their kids to school with the attitude of "F the teachers". When you talk to these parents, you find out that they're angry at other things in their lives (high cost of living, bad jobs, strained relationships, broken marriages) and they have to take that anger on SOMEBODY--so they give it to their kids and have them take it to school. We can't get new teachers in the profession because they know they'll be underpaid, overworked, abused, and made the whipping boy for every politician and every parent with an axe to grind.
I have one word of advice for any young person thinking of becoming a teacher: DON'T.

Or black and Latino students could just do their homework and study harder?
I'm a former teacher.
Here's your homework: There's a free short story online by Kurt Vonnegut, takes less than five minutes to read.
The title? "Harrison Bergeron".
It's about this topic. Vonnegut saw this coming. Trust me, it's good.
By the way, when I taught in "Little Saigon" in Orange County (Huntington Beach Union High School District), half our students were Latino immigrants, half Vietnamese immigrants.
The kids of both ethnicities would start out in ninth grade with the Latino students able to speak English fluently, the Vietnamese students barely able to speak it at all.
By the time they graduated four years later, all of the top honors were won by Vietnamese students, including the schoolwide essay competition.
The difference was culture: Vietnamese families prized education and working hard in school, the Latino families did not.
I remember a staff meeting where a Latina teacher brought up the issue of why the Latino kids weren't doing as well as the Vietnamese kids (her answer: racism).
An older teacher, white and male, said: "No, it's because the Vietnamese kids work their asses off."
He was called "racist" for that, but he wasn't called "wrong".
The library was open after school for studying.
100% Asians.
I rest my case.

A major tornado tore through some small towns in southcentral Kansas when I was a kid. The devastation was total and people lost everything.
The governor mobilized the National Guard to protect against looters.
The National Guard roadblocks stopped a convoy of trucks that were piled high with clothing, blankets, food, toys, furniture--not coming out of the disaster area, but into it. Not to loot, but to help, in any way we could. No one organized us to do this: we just saw our fellow Kansans in need and started down there. I lived in an area with a lot of Mennonites, the most charitable and honest folk I have ever met. They are an example to us all.
Not all cultures are equal. Kansas isn't the same place I grew up, but people there will still help you without being asked, and they will be kind about it, too.
On the other hand, Buffalo appears to have a lot of...Norwegian immigrants, as I call them...who only think of taking, never giving.
Not all cultures are equal. Before you hand over power to people, observe how they handle crises, because that shows how they'll act when they're in power.

I was a public school teacher for thirty years, retired in 2021.
The parents used to be our allies.
Now, they're our enemies. Both sides are at fault in that.
I always taught in California schools, so we always had a ethnically diverse student body.
In the early 1990s, I taught at school that was 50% Hispanic, 40% Asian, 10% white. A Hispanic teacher said our standards were racist because Hispanic students didn't test as well as our Asian students. The white, male head of the math department pushed back, saying "Maybe their parents should make them come to school every day and do their homework if they're so worried."
Now, that same statement would get him investigated, publicly shamed, suspended, perhaps even fired. Now, no one dares push back against the "objective standards are racist" lie.
Congratulations, woke activists both inside and outside the school: you won! How does it feel, champ?

"Just stay the hell away from them."--Scott Adams
Btw, black folks do this in other countries. They tried looting and burning businesses in north London in 2011, but those shops are owned by Sikhs, Turks, and Kurds. The Sikh men got out their sabers and stood 24/7 watch outside their shops alongside their Turkish and Kurdish friends--and none of their shops nor restaurants were looted nor burned. As Dr John Watson once said in "The Sign of the Four": "the Sikh is no man to trifle with."
The London police refused to take action against the black rioters because they didn't want to be seen as "racist", but threatened arrest against the men protecting their community--apparently, it's ok to arrest a brown man protecting his store but it's not ok to arrest a black man who's trying to burn it down.
What's worse than shoplifting, looting, and arson? White liberals who cheer it on, as if these black criminals are somehow "fighting the Man". No, they're just destroying their own communities.

Wichita, Kansas and Lexington, Kentucky have taken the next logical step beyond this, giving free homes, no loan, with years of subsidies for home maintenance and paying property taxes, etc, but you have to be an illegal to qualify. I know, because my neighbors from Iraq in Lexington got a free house through an NGO that receives taxpayer funds--they rented out the house and stayed in their low-cost rental house (a local church pays 50% of their rent). In Wichita, Kansas, a similar setup, giving away homes for free, no loans, to illegals.
The people running the USA can't be clearer in their hatred and contempt for the legal, taxpaying citizens. Nancy Pelosi recently said on Bill Maher's show that the "solution" to millions of illegal immigrants is to grant them all citizenship.

I know many black folks who are convinced they are descended from African royalty, i.e., "my ancestors were princes and queens in Africa." Apparently, only the nobility were sold into slavery, no commoners (that's the only way this claim makes sense), and all of the black people living in the US today would be wearing a crown if not for the slave trade. Also, I've spoken with a few, including my hair stylist, who claims that all of Africa would be Wakanda if not for the slave trade, a super high-tech utopia. I'm not sure how a continent that was many centuries behind Europe in technological development at the start of the Transatlantic slave trade would've managed this great leap forward, but let's not quibble about logic and facts.
I'm not sure why black Americans feel the need to indulge in substituting fanciful myths for actual history. It used to be that black people were proud that they'd remained strong through so many centuries of hardship, and felt no need to embellish or embroider the past. This mythologizing just makes anyone who believes in it look foolish and weak. Black people don't need to do this to feel proud of their own history, culture, and accomplishments, because their real history should be a source of pride.

Target and the California Communists deserve one another, actually.
Last time I was in our local Target store, after not visiting for nearly three years, I was shocked at how shabby the store looked and how shoddy its merchandise appeared. The employees had the morale level of prisoners on a roadside work detail.
I lived in California 1993-2021. Left when I retired. Will never return. Californians voted for the government they have, and will continue to vote for more of the same.
I live in my home state of Kansas now, and it IS home, even though I spent nearly half of my life in California. The weather isn't as good as California, but in all other measures, my quality of life is greatly improved. I thought I'd miss California. I haven't, not one day since June 4, 2021.
(on edit: I miss Trader Joes, but not Trader Joes customers)
