Immigrants Terrorize Cities, Eating Local Pets

Economy

The yield curve, a historically significant economic indicator, has recently garnered attention due to its movements. Over the past 25 years, the yield curve has predicted four business-cycle recessions, though two did not materialize, indicating the need for cautious interpretation. Following a weak jobs report, yields dropped across most maturities except for the 30-year yield, which saw a slight increase. The most significant drops were in the 1-year and 2-year yields, suggesting anticipated rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, whose policy rates remain between 5.25% and 5.5%. The yield curve, typically upward-sloping, remains inverted at the short end with a notable sag in the middle. This inversion began in July 2022 due to the Fed’s rate hikes. Recently, the 2-year yield fell below the 10-year yield, causing a partial un-inversion of that segment, while the 3-month to 10-year segment remains steeply inverted. Historically, yield curve inversions have often preceded recessions, but false positives and external influences like the Fed’s quantitative easing and tightening programs complicate its predictive reliability.

Politics

In Springfield, Ohio, an influx of Haitian migrants has reportedly led to a housing crisis and social tensions. The city, with a population of 60,000, has seen an estimated 20,000 Haitian migrants arrive, straining local resources. Reports from residents describe incidents of migrants eating local wildlife and pets, though some claims have been refuted as fear-mongering. Tensions escalated following a school bus crash caused by an illegal immigrant from Haiti, resulting in the death of an 11-year-old boy and injuries to 20 other students. City officials, including city manager Bryan Heck, have appealed for more federal funding to address the crisis, highlighting the strain on housing and community resources.

Relatedly, reports indicate that the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies have contributed to increased criminal activity by armed Cuban and Venezuelan gangs, particularly the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). This gang has been active in areas like Aurora, Colorado, and has expanded its presence to cities such as Brooklyn, Bronx, and Williamsburg, New York, with an estimated 400 members. TdA’s activities, including thefts of oil, diesel fuel, and copper wire, have raised concerns about their potential targeting of critical infrastructure, especially in the Permian Basin, America’s top oil-producing region. A Texas-based oil and gas company issued a memo, based on police and FBI reports, warning employees about the rise in organized criminal activities and the need for heightened security awareness. Unclassified US Army documents have also warned that TdA members in Denver have been authorized to attack law enforcement, posing significant risks to military and law enforcement personnel. In response to the escalating threat, coordinated efforts among local, state, federal law enforcement, and the military have been deemed crucial, with National Guardsmen already deployed in New York City subway stations following violent incidents involving TdA members.

In other political news, a recent article discusses the unpredictability of events such as Joe Biden’s health and Donald Trump’s potential return to power. The concept of a “rules-based international order” is highlighted, with some sources suggesting that major institutions aim to keep populist candidates from disrupting global alliances and markets. The 2016 election, where Trump’s unexpected victory led to efforts to discredit him, is cited as an example of the risks of having a president who might challenge established international agreements. The role of media and censorship in shaping public perception and controlling narratives is also explored, with discussions on the challenges of maintaining scientific integrity in the face of political and social pressures.

“So what you’re trying to do from the point of view, let’s take it from the point of view of, let’s say, the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department, and major corporations that have to do with international issues from arms trade to, oh, I don’t know, food. They have a series of agreements that are fragile and could be overturned if a president entered the Oval Office who didn’t agree with them.”

“Immigrants eating local pets” seems a valid headline. “Immigrants terrorize cities” seems grossly misleading.

In a day of armchair investigation I found only Springfield, Ohio, being terrorized. Not “cities”. And “terrorized” suggest nighttime gangs of aliens hanging out as a crowd leaves the Cineplex, looking for inadequately escorted and adequately endowed teens. Video posts by Springfield residents today paint a picture that, while tragic, is rather different.

Haiti is Hell compared to St. Thomas, Bermuda, or even the Dominican Republic. News from Ohio must be hard to comprehend by readers who don’t know Hispaniola. The media really should have a sentence or two to hint at the cultural divide between the Haitians and the Ohioans. Tsk tsk.

Haitians in Springfield is not something that happened last week. It started in, what, 2016? Reporting this week that gaves the illusion that C5As dropped parachute equipped Hatians on the town last month don’t help the discussion.

Somebody, somewhere decided to create a large pool in Ohio of poor, welfare-enabled, people fluent in Haitian Creole but not in English! What fun! George Soros on LSD? It’s hard to imagine what for!

How great that Trump called (blurted?) this out on the 9/9 debate. Maybe it will keep our attention longer than the just as cartoonish shooting in Butler, Pa, last year. Oh wait, was that this year?
