Faith and fear: Haitian immigrants in Springfield stand firm as Trump threatens deportation
Accompanied by their newborn son, Michelet and his wife arrived at the St. Vincent de Paul Community Center in Springfield, Ohio, last week looking for help from the non-profit’s volunteers. They wanted to apply for a valuable document for the infant that for now seems out of reach for them as Haitian immigrants: a U.S. passport.

Where’s Ted? by Clay Jones

Cancun Cruz, meet Parthenon Ted Read on Substack

Tip for my conservative colleagues: It’s spelled “Greece,” NOT “Grease.” You’re welcome.

One thing we have known about Ted Cruz for a very long time is that he’s a spineless sanctimonious lying piece of shit. And for a second time, he’s been caught vacationing while the state he represents in the United States Senate suffers from a natural disaster.

Just like he did with the ice storm that hit Texas, Ted Cruz hid in a foreign country as if the floods insulted Heidi Cruz’s face.

In 2021, a devastating winter storm, unofficially named Winter Storm Uri by the Weather Channel, hit the southeast, midwest, and northeastern part of the United States, along with northern Mexico, Canada, and even Greenland. It hit Texas so bad that its power grid went out, which left people freezing.

Uri killed 276 people in the US, with 246 of them in Texas. Where was Texas’ junior senator during all this? He was hiding at a resort in Cancun, Mexico.

Ted was one of those who lost power during the storm, and as we gleaned from Heidi Cruz’s texts, their house was “FREEZING.” Heidi suggested a getaway until the storm was over. She invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún, where they had stayed “many times,” noting the room price that week was $309 per night, which probably isn’t an issue for an investment manager at Goldman Sachs (though she once complained that the family can’t afford a second home), and its “good security.”

So off they went, whee, to bathe in the warm sun rays of Cancun while 246 people died. Ted was enjoying the rays and margarita daiquiris until he got caught. And then he rushed home to do photo-ops of him putting bottled water into the back of SUVs while wearing a facemask featuring the Texas flag, to let voters know that he loves Texas, which he abandoned as soon as the freezing shit hit the fan.

When that happened, Ted said, “Fuck you, Texas. I’ll come back when it’s warmer and the power grid is back up. Are quesadillas half off during the Ritz-Carlton happy hour?” (snip-MORE)

Leaking

Ron too up the floor to set up the new spot for the toilet and the shower when he spotted a bunch of water under the floor. He can’t find the leak so it taking up the entire two bathroom floors. Then I will fill and spin out the washer. If it is not there…. Well I don’t know what we will do. Hugs
