Here’s just another example of how Trump is NOT a racist or a SEXIST...offers woman job on the spot if they can negotiate salary.
Congress refusing to address the Border Crisis
James Dobson: Congress refusing to address border disaster
Americans are suffering border fatigue.What should be a simple matter of exercising American sovereignty over the nation's borders and upholding the rule of law has devolved into a chaotic mess. Throw in the political finger-pointing and the continued Democrat and media effort to derail the Trump presidency, the problem not only seems too big to fix, it seems too big to understand.
"They know they will be fed, medicated, and treated humanely, even if they are in holding areas while they are in our custody. Then they will be released on American soil. This is the system set up by a liberal Congress and judges.
It is a well-known fact that President Obama’s administration established many of these unworkable policies, and Congress is steadfastly unwilling to change them. "

Keeping America Great
Trump Administration’s Industry-Recognized Apprenticeships Will Keep America Working
Our surging economy has brought with it abundant job opportunities. Tax cuts and deregulation have boosted job creation. Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, 5.4 million jobs have been created and more people are working in America than ever before. The unemployment rate has dropped to 3.6%, the lowest rate since 1969, and last year we saw the highest share of people entering our labor force from the sidelines since we started tracking in the early 1990s.Through the White House’s Pledge to America’s Workers, job creators around the nation have committed to nearly 10 million training, upskilling or reskilling opportunities for American students and workers. [White House]
Keep America Great. Trump 2020.
Twitter targeting Trump

On Thursday, Twitter announced it will censor the messages of prominent government officials by "down-ranking" any that violate the social-media company's rules.Offending messages sent by verified political candidates and government officials with more than 100,000 followers will be flagged with a notice, the company said.

Trump Train Arrived yesterday in Miami
Trump supporters from Trump Train
A group of Trump supporters rode to Miami on Brightline to protest at the debate hall in Miami. The group, based in Broward County took the light-rail train from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale to Miami on Wednesday evening at 5:30, arriving at 6:45. They all got home around 11:30pm last night.
The 75-minute ride was dubbed All Aboard the Trump Train, part of a “quest to tell the national television audience that South Florida is Trump country.” WPTV picked up on the event.
Quote of the day - Peace to Prosperity Workshop
“When people criticize, the question I would ask them is what is
your idea, what ideas are you putting forward. It is easy to be against things, but that is not going to help the
Palestinian people, it is not going to help the region. But what we've tried to do is take the harder task of being for
something. And we've put out 140 pages of details.”

Winning is the only game for Democrats
We have had a border problem for years. CNN does say that it got worse under Trump. Well, we all know why.
Democratic leadership has introduced poison pill provisions for "fixing" our border, that would restrict the ability of law enforcement to remove illegal aliens and would not include funds for detention beds. Now some irrational brainwashed liberal weenies walked off the job at Mayfair because of their government contract to send mattresses to the kids at these detention camps. Some of them want to do away with ICE. They fight President Trump at every opportunity. We have Sanctuary cities dotted throughout our country encouraging illegals to break our laws--all cities controlled by liberals and offering them free stuff and utopia.
And we can't forget the globalists behind the entire matter who want open borders and One World Order whose only aim is to bring down our Republic.
Migrants have been weaponized by globalist-funded groups to cause instability and chaos around the world and now the United States is their goal. Democrats, even knowing this, don't care. It's all about winning back the White House for them. And Democrats tell us if we don't like their directives then we all are "racists" and Trump, along with all Republicans, are mentally ill.

Workshop on ADU's - The Attempted Coup
I don't think this was a "real" workshop. It was a well thought out clever attempt to execute a coup by two commissioners. Luckily, Commissioner Maxwell was there to stop it.
The Mayor and Andy Amoroso were absent as they were attending the U.S. Conference of Mayors. My question is why was an important workshop, that can change the demographics and dynamics of our city forever, scheduled when the Mayor and Vice Mayor were out of town and could not weigh in. Everyone knew they would be out of town. Last night there were only three commissioners present; Omari Hardy and Herman Robinson, both wanting to increase our density and Scott Maxwell against.
"This is a big deal," said Commissioner Maxwell.
70% of our city consists of single family residences. Staff has no idea of how many ADU's are present in our city. Omari Hardy wants to allow homeowners to take their own "economic development engines" and be able to build these accessory units. Herman basically went along with Omari and "wants to move forward."
Omari wants more density and cited reasons (such as assisting our downtown merchants with more foot traffic--) but did not consider the basic facts that our population density is 6,303 per sq mi which is 2047% higher than the Florida average and 6857% higher than the national average. More people is what he thinks we need.
Omari asked that an ordinance be drafted for the next meeting but Commissioner Scott Maxwell reminded him that they did not have a quorum to move the item forward. The city attorney concurred. This took Hardy and Robinson by surprise. They surmised that they could push the Ordinance forward for a vote.
This item will be on the next Commission agenda for 30 minutes max in order to get a consensus to go forward with the real possibility of doubling our density in this small city. Not to mention the cost of infrastructure to accomplish this, can you even imagine the cost of city services and public safety that will escalate?

FBI can't keep track of its own Informants
Dozens of foreign nationals with shady backgrounds have vanished from the FBI’s radar,
after the agency brought them to the U.S. to help with investigations.You can’t make this stuff up.
The nation’s premier and “intelligence-driven” law enforcement agency can’t keep track of its own informants, who would otherwise not be eligible to enter the country because of their “association with criminal enterprises,” according to a federal audit released this month by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General.

Important Lake Worth Workshop Tonight
This is a most important Workshop. I would expect that they will allow the public to speak on this issue.
Commissioner Omari Hardy has started a petition on change.org FOR allowing ADU's, entitled: PETITION SUPPORTING THE LEGALIZATION OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, KNOWN ALSO AS ADUs OR GRANNY COTTAGES, IN ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS IN LAKE WORTH BEACH, FLORIDA.
Read all his WHEREAS's here...
- I am against allowing Accessory Dwelling Units:
- It will bring more Sober Homes
- It will bring more Airbnbs
- Our residential neighborhoods will be over-crowded
- Density in our 6 square miles is already one of the highest in the county. The population density is 6,303 per sq mi which is 2047% higher than the Florida average and 6857% higher than the national average.
- Allowing ADU's will possibly triple our density.

Last Night's Lake Worth Commission Meeting
I ventured down to the city commission meeting last night mainly to see State Rep. Mike Caruso but I did watch the YouTube video of what transpired.
The most interesting thing on the Agenda was the last minute inclusion of discussion under New Business on placing items on the Agenda. This was added by the city manager although it was never mentioned what particular staff member added it to the agenda.
We have a definite policy in place about placing items on the agenda and this hasn't been adhered to in years. Items are being placed on the agenda at any time staff chooses--this is against the rules that say that an item must be added no later than 11 days prior to the commission meeting other than an emergency. It was also said, however, that it is staff that places items on the agenda although our policy says that Commissioners also can add items. I concluded that commissioner inclusions have been discouraged by staff.
Commissioner Hardy and Commissioner Robinson were right on point...there needs to be a process to get ideas in front of the commission that have been either denied or just plain ignored by staff. Apparently commissioners are discouraged to place anything on the agenda. The City manager reports to the Commission. The Commissioners are the bosses. Commissioner Hardy said that he does not believe that they should cede any authority to people who are not elected. And he stated that it was their job to work with each other not FOR each other, answering Scott Maxwell's snarky comment.
This discussion went over the one-half hour mark and the mayor then said discussion was over; it would go to a workshop. At 1:35:53 Commissioner Hardy made a motion to extend the discussion with Herman seconding the motion. That motion was totally disregarded by the mayor and discussion ended. As Herman had said earlier, it's all about "democracy, debate and deliberation." That didn't happen last night.

California to give Healthcare to Illegals
"Some low-income adults in California living in the country illegally will soon get their health benefits paid for by taxpayers. Democrats in the state Legislature on Sunday agreed to make adults
between the ages of 19 and 25 eligible for the state's Medicaid program."

Tuesday, June 18, 2019
California is set to become the first state to give full health care benefits to young, low-income immigrants living in the United States illegally, but a majority of U.S. voters don't support a similar initiative in their own state.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters favor making health care benefits available to low-income illegal immigrants under the age of 26 in their state. Fifty-five percent (55%) are opposed, while 13% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

State Rep Mike Caruso at City Hall
Mike Caruso, District 89, had one wild campaign in November 2018. He was narrowly elected with 50.02% of the vote, defeating Democrat Jim Bonfiglio. Caruso's margin of victory--just 32 votes--triggered both a machine and manual recount under Florida law.
He spoke in front of our city commission last night and was given kudos from the entire dais for all his hard work for Lake Worth. He co-authored, backed and sponsored an anti-semitism law and a Sober Home bill.

Read the lawsuit by the Thomas More Law Center
And in all of our progressive and politically correct direction in our city, in July 2016 the city commission passed a resolution (Resolution 35-2016 to support Muslim communities in and around the city) saying their religion is one of "peace." How dare anyone with the Constitutional right to speak out against it? We have to accept what's happening in our country?

AOC sends empty-headed tweet to President Trump
Ocasio-Cortez Sends A Tweet Directly to President Trump
All we can say is AOC is one vacuous dame
Recycle Coach App
I downloaded the Recycle Coach app recently launched by the City of Lake Worth (Beach) as mentioned in the PBPost. This was developed to help residents know their collection schedule for recyclables and garbage. I'm thinking, great going! Wrong.
First it did not take the Lake Worth Beach city as a destination. You have to use Lake Worth. Then after programming my address, it was correct on the recyclable schedule but wrong on the garbage pick-up day telling me it is Tuesday. No sooner did I see this, the garbage was picked up today, Monday.
It is supposed to send you scheduling changes, bulk pick-up days, etc.
I'll still keep the app for awhile to see if the kinks are worked out.

Making America Muslim
Even though Sharifa Alkhateeb (1946 – 2004) is no longer on this Earth having met her maker, the goal of all Muslims continues, more so than ever.
We have Muslims elected to Congress and local governments, all Democrats. Their ultimate goal is to Make America Muslim. For all of you Democrats, Socialists, Communists, etc. who just don't understand, view the video.

Community ID's for Illegals
The article in today's Palm Beach Post on Community ID's was informative. It mentioned the concerns of illegal aliens trying to open bank accounts, etc. in our county and who want a community ID to facilitate their every desire while living here.
Why are we trying so hard to make life easier for illegals? They are here against our laws.
On December 4, 2018, the idea of community ID's passed on a 3/1 vote at the Lake Worth City Commission meeting, Scott Maxwell dissenting. Commissioner Amoroso is the one who put it on the agenda. Mayor Pam Triolo cut out of the meeting prior to the discussion and vote. So, our alt-left commissioners favored it.
The article mentioned that 25% of our city consists of "undocumented" people. It seems like more than that when you constantly run into people who speak no English. The commission likes to tell us that our city has 37,000 residents. Using that figure, we have 9,250 illegals. Even Belle Glade has a lessor percentage of illegals at 20%.

Accessory Dwelling Units for Lake Worth?
Copied from Nextdoor: I have been told that Anthony Marotta wrote it but authorship is unverified. Mr. Marotta is a licensed community property manager and president of the Parrot Cove Neighborhood Association. It is an excellent argument as to why we do not want ADU's.
"There is a City workshop June 25 at 6pm at City Hall regarding an effort that would effectively triple the permitted density in our single family residential neighborhoods from 7 units per acre to 21 units by allowing up to 2 Accessory Dwelling Units, or ‘ADUs’ be built on lots in all single family residential neighborhoods. This is being spearheaded by Commissioner Omari Hardy. Those living in these areas should take note of this effort.
Summary:
This will greatly encourage sober homes, a proliferation of Airbnbs and increased cost of real estate all making homeownership that much more difficult to attain. It will alter the character of the neighborhoods, promote more investor buy ups and maxing out of property, create constant parking deficiencies, and present daunting tasks for code enforcement as they try to regulate things they can’t get access to.
Having a background relevant to this, I have spent much time reviewing the topic. I live in one of the affected neighborhoods and have an ADU that would become a legal rental that I could profit from and I am wholeheartedly against this, based on the following:
Commissioner Hardy has stated the following reasons this must happen for our city:
When asked how he would prevent that from happening everywhere, Commissioner Hardy stated that he would use warrants if necessary to force people to allow them in. There is an uprising when certain areas get red tagged for abandoned cars, but the city is going to get warrants over an ADU inspection?
The city struggles to enforce its codes now, but somehow will be able to enforce what is going on in units in the back of properties?
Commissioner Hardy has stated he believes there should be no parking regulations at all. This helps to understand why he is disinterested in resident’s concerns over parking.
The main issue is density, which manifests itself by affecting several quality of life issues
· Parking in these neighborhoods, many of which are either historic or older in general, is not adequate for the current need. Adding up to four+ cars per homesite will fill the roads and encourage owners to pave over more of their yards for parking, creating heat sinks and diminishing our green areas. A house has room on the road for 2 cars in front, not 6.
· Renting the ADUs will add a revenue stream that is factored into the price of the home. This in turn puts upward pressure on housing prices and effectively pushes homeownership further away from people as well as means they always have to rent the unit to afford the cost. Creates additional exclusivity in areas due to higher income requirements.
· Who came to the City Commission and demanded they take action on allowing ADUs? This has never been a pressing matter in our city ever.
This is simply a solution looking for a problem, and will absolutely create those problems."

Commissioner Hardy has stated the following reasons this must happen for our city:
- “The city needs more residents to shop in the downtown.” Why sacrifice the quality of life of the residents so that there will be a few extra people to get haircuts and get a drink so the investors from Boca who are buying up all the commercial property can rent their space at inflated prices?
- “People will be able to ‘age in place.’” You can do that now. These structures are permitted in multifamily by right and you can construct these units in SR7 neighborhoods without a stove. Frankly if the city could not get a former commissioner who allegedly had an illegal second unit built into his place, to open up his door for inspection, will city inspectors be knocking on doors to find out if someone put a stove in their rear unit for their grandmother?
- “States cities such as Portland Oregon, Vancouver British Columbia and Tacoma Washington have used ADUs to address housing affordability issues.” Neglects to state these cities have nothing in common with LWB. Those cities have housing affordability issues due to, in most part, because they have too many rich people. LWB has the opposite with an over abundance of very affordable cost housing and lack of rich people.
- Sober homes will proliferate. This is opening up the doors to this highly profitable segment to really max out their investment. These operators have the cash to make this happen quickly and this destructive force will be given the full speed ahead. Fair housing and ADA laws protect these operators and the city will be powerless to stop them. Why would we do anything to add more of them?
- Airbnb will be a very attractive use for this. It will push up rents and home prices as inventory goes to this higher dollar value venture instead, further eroding affordability in desirable areas. Per state law, the city can’t restrict them.
- This is a back door effort to triple density and upzone neighborhoods without following the normal procedures that would alert residents to what is going on and how their neighborhood is about to get drastically more crowded.
When asked how he would prevent that from happening everywhere, Commissioner Hardy stated that he would use warrants if necessary to force people to allow them in. There is an uprising when certain areas get red tagged for abandoned cars, but the city is going to get warrants over an ADU inspection?
