Politico: Dems Get Strange New Respect For ...

A Western New York town warned state officials that it would take action if the state didn't follow through on emptying out hotels of immigrants. Asylum-seekers have been housed in two hotels in Cheektowaga, a suburb of Buffalo, since June 2023. After two incidents of alleged sexual assault by asylum-seekers, local county officials said they would stop taking in immigrants and demanded the state vacate those from the hotels. 'These folks have a right to an asylum hearing and some of these folks will be granted asylum and there are already productive members of the community.' Cheektowaga Town Supervisor Brian Nowak said they did not intend to be anti-immigrant but wanted to enforce zoning laws at the hotels. "Moving on from having them in hotels is one thing, but saying we want to send you back to Mexico or Venezuela or whatever, that's a whole different story," said Nowak. "These folks have a right to an asylum hearing and some of these folks will be granted asylum and there are already productive members of the community that are living in these buildings," he added. "Moving on from our hotels being used as encampments or shelters, yes, but not to say we don't want migrants or immigrants as part of our society." On the same day as the vote from Cheektowaga, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that 25 hotels and shelters housing asylum-seekers in New York would close. Adams told WKBW-TV that the hotels in Cheektowaga would be emptied of immigrants by Dec. 16 and 18. "We’ve come a long way since the first buses from Texas arrived in our city over two years ago, when we were working around the clock to care for the thousands of people who were arriving every week," said Adams. Adams has faced fierce criticism for defending the city's sanctuary city policies and then folding after Republican governors began to send immigrants to take advantage of their social safety net. He has since criticized the Biden administration for the immigrant crisis and demanded more help from the state. "We are seeing real results from our hard work, including the ability to continue consolidating operations," Adams added. "We continue to look closely at all of our shelters and will make all determinations based on what’s best for our city and those in our care.” Many have said that voters turned against the Democratic Party in the election partly because of the panicked response to immigrants being sent to Democrat-controlled cities by Republican governors.

South Dakota police said a teacher was arrested for sexual exploitation after students pretended to be underage girls on Snapchat in order to catch him in the act. Huron police said officers were contacted by the principal of Huron Middle School after a parent saw concerning images on social media of a student. The boy said that he had started a hoax account after a 6th-grade girl said she had received messages from a teacher that made her uncomfortable.'The student told police that he used images from Pinterest to 'catfish' the teacher.' The student set up a hoax account that appeared to be 14-year-old girl and messaged the 28-year-old teacher, who was identified as Zachary Kaderabek. Another student set up a separate account pretending to be the sister of the first hoax account and also exchanged messages with Kaderabek. Police said that Kaderabek allegedly admitted to messaging students on Snapchat and sending four images of his penis. Kaderabek was indicted on Monday on two counts of solicitation of a minor as well as two counts of sexual exploitation. The Huron School Board voted on Tuesday to move him from paid administrative leave to unpaid administrative leave. Huron School District Superintendent Kraig Steinhoff released a statement about their actions regarding Kaderabek to KELO-TV.“The Huron School District is communicating with its attorney and is cooperating with law enforcement. All policies, procedures, and laws are being followed," said Steinhoff in part. The student told police that he used images from Pinterest to "catfish" the teacher. His hoax account was named "Kate." Kaderabek is scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 14. A booking photo of the teacher can be viewed on KELO's YouTube video channel. Like Blaze News?

Caitlin Clark had become a conservative icon for what seemed to be a refusal to bend the knee to left-wing activism, but as the rule often goes, all good things must come to an end. In a recent interview with Time magazine, Clark made clear where her allegiance lies when she told the reporter, “I want to say I’ve earned every single thing, but as a white person, there is privilege. A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been black players.” “This league kind of has been built on them. The more we appreciate that, highlight that, talk about that, and then continue to have brands and companies invest in those players that have made the league incredible, I think it’s very important,” she concluded. Steve Deace of the "Steve Deace Show” believes capitulating to the woke mob was always in her cards after joining the WNBA. “Caitlyn Clark is groveling to a league that she is bigger than, she does not need. She is her own brand. She could go play internationally where a lot of the woke silliness that we have here largely does not exist,” Deace explains. “She could just barnstorm the country with Caitlyn Clark’s Globetrotters and make every bit as much money, if not more, than what she’s making right now,” he continues. “The reason why I didn’t want her to go to the league is this was always bound to happen. She was never going to hold out, and it was frankly unfair to ask her to because it would be in denial of human nature.” Deace also believes that because Clark is a woman, she’s “in a uniquely challenging position.” “Men are relational creatures as well, but women are pre-eminently relational creatures, and asking a woman, just as a general rule, to be an iconoclast, goes against the natural order of things,” he explains. “I would like to say, therefore, what position she finds herself in is uniquely challenging for her being asked to go up against an entire league, an entire peer group,” he continues. “Caitlin Clark will literally commit lesbian lascivious acts as part of the halftime entertainment and marry a woman within the next year or she might as well name herself Donald Trump.” “Every time you turn onto Tolerance Boulevard it will always be a one-way street,” he adds.

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos from Brandon Bell, Getty Images Two of tech’s biggest leaders have plans to meet with President-elect Donald Trump soon. The Information reports that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is flying to Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday, and Trump has said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is meeting with him next week. Trump has had a tumultuous relationship with Google, claiming the search engine is “rigged” to hide positive coverage about him. However, in recent weeks, Trump claimed multiple times that Pichai called him on the phone. Pichai said during The New York Times DealBook Summit last week that the calls had “nothing to do” with the government’s antitrust cases against Google. As reported by The Information, sources don’t expect Pichai to “make any direct overtures to Trump about the antitrust lawsuit or other regulatory topics.” Trump said in October he would “do something” about Google when asked whether he’d go as far as breaking the company up. Google declined to comment about Pichai’s reported visit. Additionally, Trump confirmed that Bezos “is coming up next week” during an interview with CNBC on Thursday. Despite Trump’s feud with Amazon during his presidency, Bezos said he’s “very optimistic this time around.” The Verge reached out to Amazon with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back. Pichai and Bezos aren’t the only tech leaders trying to smooth over their rocky histories with Trump. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — who Trump threatened to put in prison — met for dinner at Mar-a-Lago in November. Meta also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund, according to The Wall Street Journal.
