The ambiguous wording on numbers like that is something that I've seen a lot and occasionally used myself when I wasn't so sure of a number. That's not the case here, as the writer DOES know - we're not talking "millions" like, say, 5 of them or 87 of them. We're talking 426 of those millions of dollars. Why not say "... approves large fractions of Billions in new spending ..." However, the word "million", singular, does apply to the number of illegal aliens in that State.*
Despite residents fleeing Massachusetts, Democrat Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) signed a bill welcoming hundreds more of illegal immigrants into her state.Oh, and right now existing shelters are full, with all of 3,500 illegals in there. That's peanuts. Do people like Maura Healey have any feel for the numbers?
Healey signed the state budget this week that includes an additional $426 million to house illegal aliens in correspondence to the state’s “right to shelter” law that requires the government to put illegal immigrants and homeless people into homes.
The Democrat governor’s move comes as Boston declared a state of emergency after it exhausted its resources last year due to the massive influx of illegal immigrants coming to the sanctuary state.
I had the image above of this same piece of work saved from back in January from another GP post, Democrat Massachusetts Governor Turns ‘Emotional’ as She Announces Conversion of Roxbury Recreation Center into Shelter for Illegal Immigrants (VIDEO). Though already tired of that site's clickbaity "This journalist/public figure was shocked! (VIDEO)" posts - this one from Jim Hoft himself - I care about this issue, so I bit the bait and watched.
Around that time, I'd seen some clip of Megan Kelly, on the other side of this issue, going emotional upon seeing those NYC Venezuelan illegal aliens flipping off the camera after being released after beating up some of NY's not-so-finest, I guess. That sick attitude from violent invaders that should not have been let in pissed me off too, but we have to look at the big picture and use reason. I don't watch or get any of the TV channels that Megan Kelly might or might not be on, so I don't know if she really knows the whole score.
Instead of emotion we need cold reason and action. That's not coming from these women on TV. I think of Herr Merkel of Germany (C - East Bloc) and her allowing a million mostly young male invaders to her country based originally on pictures of a dead boy on the beach. Because of the poor dead kid, 10,000s of thousands of additional Germans and other Europeans would be and were, attacked, raped, murdered, what have you. That kid had been taken across the Mediterranean Sea to illegally break into Europe. His Dad was directly responsible, but, because, feeeelings, Herr Merkel opened up the gates. There was no logic to that emotional rescue.
Speaking of Germans though, Peak Stupidity can do this emotion thing too. See this post about a murdered 8 y/o boy and also RIP - Maria Ladenburger. We've also written about the story of Laken Riley. As MTG did, we can also exclaim "Say her name!" to push the President of the US to at least feel ... well, get it close anyway.
Yes, all that is using emotion to sway readers/the public, but there's a difference. Logic and reason say that these dead Americans and Germans would not be such had we been following a sane policy - controlling our borders and entry points. Maura and Merkel there are/were letting their emotions block all decent reason. One would think these women would get emotional about the worsening lives of Mass residents and the 8 y/o boys and Maria Ladenburgers, respectively too though. Why not? Are they too White so privileged, deserving no sorrow?
We really can't have women in high office. I don't want them voting either. Until all that comes back to pass somehow - and hopefully not due to turning Moslem - we've got to up our game with our own sob stories, along with the reason and action.
Well, this could have been a time to embed an old Rolling Stones song called Emotional Rescue. I won't, because it kinda sucks. Mic Jagger sings in this falsetto voice, and the tune is not good at all. Only the short bridge going "... you think that you're the only girl in tow-oww-oww-own." is good. So, we'll present something better from that same Emotional Rescue album. She's So Cold:
Contrary to those in this post, the woman in question here is not emotional enough... or she just didn't like Kieth, Mic, or either of them.
Yes, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her.Women! Whadda' gonna do? Short distance dedication from (the few) Mass Patriots to Maura Healey anyway?
I think her engine is permanently stalled.
She's so cold. She's so cold.
She's so cold cold cold Like a tombstone.
Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
when the days get shorter and the nights get long?
Night fades when the rain comes.
Nobody will know when you're old.
When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold.
PS: Some of the bad writing on that original Townhall article bugs me. A Governor is not designated "(D-MA)". " ...in correspondence to the state’s 'right to shelter' law..." should be "...in compliance with..." and what's this welcoming hundreds more of [sic] illegal immigrants"? The writer is one Sarah Arnold - sounds and looks as if she ought to be able to write proper English. Yeah, I know, but we don't have paid editors.
PPS: Oh, and per the GP excerpt from the Townhall site, "This number doesn’t include the 14,000 illegal Haitian immigrants Massachusetts has funded since 2022." Haitians, OK, got another post coming here ...

“ Because of the poor dead kid, 10,000s of thousands of additional Germans and other Europeans would be and were, attacked, raped, murdered, what have you.”
And if you are a German who dares to publish the crime stats, you are fined thousands of Euros and threatened with jail for impugning the character of the poor migrants.

-- On Megyn Kelly's place in politics, and feminization --
Megyn Kelly has, for two years or so, hosted a Sirius Satellite Radio political talk-show, which is also distributed for free on Youtube and podcast form and such. It gets huge view-counts, and sometimes its production team specifically aims for the short-video "shock moment" Tik-Tok-style audience.
Megyn Kelly no longer appears on TV, but runs her own mini-media empire based around herself (actually, it's basically entirely herself). She has the connections, or charm, or name-recognition, or something, to snag lots of important guests on a regular basis. Her fame comes from her ten-plus years on TV. Formerly to that she was a lawyer at a big law firm. I suspect she was given preferential admission there, because the top-notch intellects one might expect at a top law-firm, she often confesses to not knowing basic things that you'd expect such people to know. So maybe she, in the 1990s, being a woman in a historically male profession (top law firm, "Jones Day"), was affirmative-action'ed in, and her other skills and charms did the rest. Now, in her early fifties, I think, she is very well off and influential.
Since Megyn Kelly has total "editorial" control of her own show, though, the topics she chooses to go with tend towards emotional drama and silly outages. She pitches to a right-wing audience, but if you ever engage her material it tends to be that she gets most "worked up" about silly things, such as a murder-trial (drama!) or the minutiae of the Trump trials, or someone doing/saying some outrageous thing.
She also loses all sense of rationality on some topics, for example the anti-Israel protests she just frames as "crazed anti-Semitic mobs who want to beat up Jews," a not-useful and even irrational view to take (or pitch to audiences).
Another time I recall she got very worked up was when she devoted a show to a defense of I.V.F., pleading that it should be safeguarded forever, because it is how she had her own children. To most men this kind of thing, or at least to "thinking" men, this is off-putting because it is so overtly about "my emotional needs are the most important thing in the world," principles always subordinate to emotion.
She tries to be on her best behavior, I guess, but she has a little to her of the tiresomeness of the "barstool ranter" type. You could also see it as the "tabloid news" format. But it works, in audience-engagement terms. It seems.
There are subtle ways that Feminization affects things. Megyn Kelly herself was against the "Covid" restrictions, but it's unclear if it was for principled or rational reasons or just because it annoyed her, and, by a later stage, she saw the chance to demagogue to right-wingers (her target audience) on it. She does display some other traits on how pernicious a "feminized" discourse can be(come).

Yes, I've read that story too, Alarmist.
