Squatters Spark Outrage Across the Nation

Picture it – America – 2024. You’re a law-abiding citizen who regularly pays taxes and contributes to society. You decide to take your family on vacation. Maybe you’ve saved up for an overseas trip. When you return home, you discover strangers in your house. Naturally, you call the police in the hopes they can remove the intruders safely and quickly. You’re probably tired, would like to unpack, and just want to relax before you go back to work the following day. Unfortunately, you live in a world where up is down, down is up, and anything that seems fantastically unfair and outlandish is reality. Not only can the police not help you, but you can be the one to be arrested.

Recently, squatting incidents in New York, Georgia, and other parts of the country have shocked the population, stirring up feelings of anger and disbelief. Adele Andaloro, a 47-year-old woman, who inherited a Queen’s house from her deceased parents, was arrested last week after changing the locks when she found several squatters had invaded her home. That’s correct folks, the homeowner, not the people who have no claim to the home, was arrested. I’ll give you another reason to flee New York City if you haven’t already done so. In this once great city, if you reside in an apartment or house for 30 days or more, you apparently have rights to that residence, as you are considered a legal tenant at that point. It doesn’t matter that you’ve never paid a bill in that house, it doesn’t matter if your name is not on the deed or lease. All that matters is that you have stayed in that residence for at least 30 days. Not only was the NYPD unable to serve and protect Ms. Andaloro, but they actually arrested her. Why? Because she changed the locks.

In NYC, the criminals have more rights than you. This is something New Yorkers have certainly not accepted but have become accustomed to. I’m a big backer of the men and women in blue, particularly of the NYPD, who have an extraordinarily difficult job, but in the words of the nursing home patient currently residing in the White House, C’mon man! Use some damn discretion! Keep in mind, Ms. Andaloro is responsible for all legal fees required to attempt to remove the invaders from her home, which is a costly expense. Oh, and she must continue to pay the property taxes as well!

Last week, a Georgia man, Paul Callins, who was looking to rent a property he owned, also fell victim to squatters. After paying thousands of dollars to fix up the place, squatters broke into his home and immediately changed the locks on the house. As Mr. Callins is caring for his sick wife, 3 squatters rented a U-Haul to move their things into his property. Incredible! The police are unable to help because these intruders have a fake lease. Callins was told that it was a civil matter and now must file court proceedings that can take 3 months to resolve. The only glimmer of hope here is that a new law in DeKalb County, Georgia is being debated that would protect the rights of the homeowner. A similar law is also being proposed in New York that would facilitate the homeowner in removing squatters from their property.

Perhaps, the most egregious story is the case of 52-year-old Nadia Vitel. Last Week, she visited her deceased mother’s Manhattan apartment and discovered a man and woman living there. These squatters allegedly beat Ms. Vitel to death. Her son, having not heard from his mother in 2 days, went to the apartment with other relatives and the superintendent of the building. He tragically found his mother’s body stuffed into a duffel bag hidden in a closet. The alleged criminals escaped by stealing Vitel’s Lexus and fleeing to Pennsylvania, where they were ultimately arrested. Another disturbing part of this case is that keys are required to use the elevator in this building that leads directly to the apartment. Officials are still trying to figure out how the squatters and alleged murderers accessed the residence.

Keep in mind that many of these squatters live in filth, destroy the property they inhabit, use illegal drugs on the premises and so much more. There are thousands of cases like this occurring in our country, and it is despicable. Although it feels like we’re in an episode of the Twilight Zone with all the corruption going on and blatant lies that are told with straight faces from politicians, the media and the elite, this squatting predicament affects us differently because it is so invasive. This is literally the seizure of personal property by the lowest scum of society. At some point, we must return to sanity, where the laws and the system work for those of us who abide by the rules and contribute to society. If we don’t get a handle on issues like this now, chaos and vigilantism will surely ensue.

Governor DeSantis Combats Illegal Immigration

Although he hasn’t yet completed one term, Biden’s presidency seems like an eternity. Ignoring or causing problems, including a weak economy, a dramatic increase in violence across our nation, and a southern border that is non-existent, Joe Biden has run a strong nation into an accelerated decline. Illegal Immigration has exploded under this administration, and despite what the elites proclaim, it is a huge problem. This week I would like to focus on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his leadership in the battle against illegal immigration.

The beauty of America is that each state is its own small-scale experiment in democracy. We can look at liberal-led blue states, like California, or conservative-leaning red states, like Florida, and compare how each state is performing. In the past four years or so, hundreds of thousands of Americans have completely uplifted their lives and relocated thousands of miles to escape the self-sabotaging policies of leftist states to states like Florida, that put the interests of its citizens first – you know the people that work and pay taxes. This is a testament to a state that implements policies that allow it to function well for its people.

In just 3 years of this president’s rule, more than 7.2 million illegal immigrants have flowed into the United States. There are an estimated 1.8 million ‘gotaways,’ which are illegals who have skirted the United States Border Patrol. We have no idea who these people are, where they come from, or what their intentions are. The federal government, whose primary role under Article IV of the constitution is to, “guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against invasion…” has failed miserably. It is up to strong and sensible governors, like Ron DeSantis, to take charge.

On March 15th, the Florida governor signed 3 bills that seek to curb illegal immigrants that would otherwise pour into his state. With the instability occurring in Haiti right now, stringent immigration laws are necessary. These bills impose felony charges, including prison time for any individual who is found in Florida after being deported. It inhibits localities within Florida from accepting any form of ID issued to illegals by other states and absolutely prohibits the issuance of driver’s licenses to any illegal migrant. So, ask yourself – if you were an illegal alien from Haiti or anywhere in the world, where would you go, Florida or New York? Here in New York, not only are illegal aliens welcomed, but they are given a food stipend and lodging – courtesy of the NYS taxpayer.

Regardless of how you feel about Governor DeSantis, you must admit, that he manages his state well, and he does it by making the wants and needs of his citizens paramount. He has a Florida First mentality, similar to President Trump’s America First approach. Despite how the dishonest media tries to portray this governor, the truth is that people like his policies. How do I know that? From the mid-summer of 2021 to the same time in 2022, almost half a million people moved to the Sunshine State. In 2022, 91,201 New Yorkers relocated to Florida. Many of us on the East Coast know someone who has moved to Florida or the Carolinas. In the same way, citizens of California have departed to friendlier states, like Texas and Idaho.

Governor DeSantis should be applauded for his efforts to prioritize the well-being of his legal residents over those from other countries. It’s easy to say that we should let anyone who wants to enter our country come in. It’s also easy to say that you will buy every individual in America a new Bugatti; however, at some point, reality catches up to fantasy. What is the breaking point? How many people are too many? These questions have plagued American policymakers for years, but those on the left refuse to answer. The truth is this – immigration is a part of our country’s founding. Immigrants have been and continue to be an integral part of America’s growth and success, but it must be done in an orderly fashion. Governor DeSantis is a shining example of how to lead fearlessly on this issue.

Biden’s State of the Union Exposes His Agenda: America Last

The State of the Union address is an opportunity for a president to do what the name of the speech implies: inform the people of how the United States is faring. It should address issues that are critical to American citizens. What subject did President Biden kick off his State of the Union with? Well, Ukraine, of course! You see, it is essential that the American taxpayer protect Ukrainian borders, not ours.

We must throw more money Zelensky’s way. Well, at least our government recognizes the importance of borders, just not for its own citizens. This speech, which was confusing and difficult to watch, does what President Biden’s administration does best – prioritize others over the American people.

President Biden has already given $75 billion to Ukraine to aid them in their war. Does anyone remember when Congress and Democrats went ballistic over the $18 billion Trump requested for our country’s border wall? They were seething. How dare America try to have an orderly process for legal immigration, prevent drug and sex trafficking, and secure our southern border so we know exactly who is coming into the interior of our country. Fun fact – there is a bill right now that has passed the Senate with a cost of over $95 billion to the taxpayer, of which an additional $60 billion would fund Ukraine. Unbelievable!

Unlike the current administration, let’s examine what Americans wanted to hear about in this speech. What are the key issues they are concerned with today? According to Pew Research Center, 73% of Americans polled said strengthening the economy should be a top issue for this administration. Coming in a close second, 63% said protecting against terrorism. 58% of those polled want a reduction in crime to be top of mind for the President. There was nothing about Ukraine, a country more than 6,000 miles away from the United States. It is not that Americans do not want to help, but we must fix our home first, and the exorbitant money we have already given them does not seem to be helping. We are winning the war in Ukraine can no longer be claimed with a straight face. I’m reminded of when we were told over and over that if you get the shot, you will not get COVID. Of course, the media echoed both lies with no shame.

Our present state of the union is fractured. Inflation is soaring. The price of food, gas, homes, cars, and pretty much everything we need to live on a daily basis, is up. The president stood at the podium with a faraway look in his eyes and simply lied that inflation had been reduced. Well, yes and no. The truth, which the elites willfully ignore, is that from the time Trump left office, inflation is way up thanks to the feckless policies of the current administration. It may have dropped this year compared to last, but it is still at a net increase from when President Biden began his term. Why tell the truth? The fraudulent media has this administration’s back and will continue to perpetuate any lies they utter.

After, President Biden claimed that a senate bill had the “toughest set of border security reforms ever seen –” another falsehood. To me, this was the most uncomfortable part of the speech to watch. He began to look puzzled when referring to this bill saying, “I’d be a winner – not really.” What? He says this nonsensical phrase as he struggles to read the teleprompter. At this time, Marjorie Taylor Green, the representative serving the 14^th district of Georgia reminds President Biden about Laken Riley, an innocent young woman who was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant. Even though her name was written on a pin he held in his hand, he struggled to say Laken Riley’s name correctly, and followed by asking, “But how many thousands of people are being killed by legals?” Is he referring to foreigners who have legal residence? Maybe, he’s talking about recently naturalized citizens? The likelihood is that he was probably trying to convey that American citizens born in this country are the real culprits, so pay no mind to what illegals do. To rub salt into the wound, President Biden later apologized for referring to Laken Riley’s murderer as ‘illegal,’ which is what he is as a factual matter. He expressed that he should have used the term ‘undocumented.’ How repugnant.

The president’s address began with the line, “Good evening. Good evening. If I were smart, I’d go home now.” Yes, Mr. President, many of us wish you could return to Delaware and allow someone with at least the slightest bit of competency to run the show. Reading through the transcript again, I was struck by how often the President simply lied. Although he shouted at points during the address, he looked confused, and his words were often muddled. I was sure the speech would be mocked as the embarrassment it truly was – woefully inaccurate and difficult to understand. But, no, the media and the pundits swung into high gear, showing no shame when claiming that the speech was a victory for the president. One supposed republican strategist said that Biden, “nailed it.” Really? Did she watch the same speech I did? Why, because he yelled, instead of speaking in the nearly inaudible voice he usually does?

We can only hope, for the sake of our Union that this will be the last State of the Union Biden delivers.
