Yes Or No

October 1, 2025

The US government has shut down after Congress didn’t pass a spending bill. This is the result of a standoff between President Trump and Democrats in congress. This shutdown has resulted in thousands of federal workers furloughed (cannot work, so no pay) and government services suspended (people suffering). But yes, congressional representives will still work and will be paid.

Government Shutdown

So although AI will not readily provide an answer to political questions, it will if pushed.

Republicans are saying Democrats are shutting down the government because Republicans want to stop the government from giving Federal money to undocumented people.

The Democrats are saying the Republicans are lying. Democrats say they are not giving Federal money to undocumented immigrants.

So who's lying?

(If we still aren't aware, all politicians are liars, regardless of political party.)

Now we asked AI this:

Have Democrats (Biden Era) given Federal money to illegal aliens?

AI Response: [Hard to answer this question.]

Yes Or no, have Democrats (Biden Era) given Federal money to illegal aliens?

[Yes, in certain cases. While federal law broadly prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving most federal benefits, there are exceptions, and federal funding has reached undocumented individuals through state programs and specific grant initiatives. 

Here are specific instances of federal funds reaching undocumented immigrants under Democratic administrations:

• American Rescue Plan (2021): The Biden administration provided $350 billion in flexible federal funds to states. Some states with Democratic leadership, including New York, used this money to provide unemployment-style pandemic relief checks to undocumented workers who lost their jobs due to COVID-19.

• Federal grants to border communities: The Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration has distributed federal grant money to non-governmental organizations and communities that provide food, shelter, and other services to migrants, some of whom are undocumented.

• Emergency Medicaid: Federal law, including under Democratic administrations, has historically provided for Emergency Medicaid to reimburse hospitals for stabilizing patients in emergency medical situations, regardless of immigration status. A small portion of federal Medicaid spending has gone toward emergency services for undocumented immigrants.

• COVID-19 relief checks (indirectly): A 2021 analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) estimated that billions in COVID-19 stimulus checks went to undocumented immigrants who obtained valid Social Security numbers, including through authorized work permits, and to U.S.-born children with undocumented parents.

• Funding for legal services: The flexible federal funding from the American Rescue Plan has also been used by some cities to support deportation defense programs and other legal services for immigrants, including those who are undocumented.]

The answers are out there, if we will look for them hard enough.

Jimmy Kimmel, Why He Was Cancelled

(This last few days, it has been Jimmy Kimmel on every news program.)

So we are being told that late night TV host, Jimmy Kimmel was suspended because he spoke out against the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Even that isn't entirely true.

In a monologue, Kimmel said: "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them".

Highly unlikely that would be the only reason. But yes, it could have been the last straw.

Because it has been reported that the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), threatened that they could act against ABC over these remarks.

This then became a convenient scapegoat, a rallying point, talking points and a media circus that could result in higher ratings later on.

The truth is:

At the end of the 2nd Quarter of this year – The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was the most watched late night television show, per Late Nighter. This talk show averaged 2.42 million viewers. 

Jimmy Kimmel Live! came in second with an average of 1.77 million viewers. 

The Tonight Show (Jimmy Fallon) placed third with an average of 1.19 million views. [Source]

Numbers like these give credence to the ugly truth that late-night ratings are drastically lower than how it was in the past.

The biggest of these kind of shows, like "The Tonight Show" used to get over 10 million viewers.

In fact, the combined viewership of all current late night shows do not even reach half that number and has been on a steady and continuous decline since 2015.

My heart bleeds for Guillermo and the other members of Kimmel's crew. But there are consequences to everything. Everything is fun and games until someone get fired.

Charlie Kirk Shooting

9.10.2025

This date will go down as the day someone tried to say "Because I disagree with your views, I will kill (shoot) you."

Charlie became famous for shutting up people. Okay, infamous is the apt term for some. So it isn't farfetched that someone wanted to shut him up.

On this day, someone did.

Someone was taken into custody after the shooting. 

As of this writing, the news have not said about the condition of Charlie Kirk nor did they reveal the identity of the person in custody or anything else.

UPDATE: News have reported that Charlie Kirk has been killed. Killer or killers still not known or arrested.

2ND UPDATE: Tyler Robinson, 22 years old, has been taken into custody and will be charged with the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Sutter Health Viral Moment

Labor Day Weekend 2025

It was supposed to be just a normal day at work.

But Sutter Health became the talk of the town when a posted online video became viral.

The post appeared to show medical staff in their Pesetas Urgent Care clinic in Santa Barbara posing with what looks like bodily fluids (left after patient exams). They were jokingly called “gifts” from their patients.

On the health provider's website, it says that:

Sutter Health is based in Sacramento. They provide healthcare to over 3.5 million Californians.

Their integrated health system offers a connected care model that delivers treatment when, where and how people need it. 

Blah blah blah...

They have since issued public statements, condemning this and reiterated their commitment to their patients, yada, yada, yada.

Terminated

Sutter Health had announced that after an investigation, they have terminated the employees involved in these social media post.

Kicker

Now for the kicker (or what is not being investigated).

Sutter Health confirmed that the person who posted the video was a previous employee who left late July.

They did not comment on the reason/s why this was posted.

The account linked to the posting was @angieuncut.

It has appeared to have been locked, its username changed and the postings deleted.

Screen Grabs

Oh wait, are we supposed to blur the faces? 

We think it will be disrespectful for their patients if we did.

Only in America?

Undocumented Immigrants

The proliferation of undocumented aliens is a big discussion point in many areas around the world, not just in the USA.

So we will also see protests, although sparingly, in a few other countries aimed at immigration enforcement actions against undocumented immigrants.

Only in LA

But, nowhere near that in the USA and it is noticeable particularly in, Los Angeles and in California.

[California is home to the largest population of undocumented immigrants in the United States.]

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

So ICE, as part of the Department of Homeland Security, has a broad authority to enforce immigration laws. This authority is a core part of their job.

ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) specifically focuses on enforcing immigration laws within the US to protect national security and public safety.

But in Sanctuary states (such as California) and cities (such as LA), their elected officials do not assist ICE in their enforcement activities. They in fact encourage their constituents to join in protest actions and in activities that prevent ICE from doing their job.

Past Practice

In the past, undocumented immigrants were not this vocal nor this visible. They kept to themselves and kept themselves hidden (like those who are undocumented in all the other countries around the world).

They do not attend protest actions. They do not throw projectiles at law enforcement. They do not burn cars, write graffiti and destroy or damage properties.

They do not call attention to themselves. They try to remain invisible. They remain incognito. They follow rules and the law of the land. You wouldn't know they were there.

Today, it is a different time. They are all out in the public. They are loud and they are proud. And public officials are on their side.


Resources for Undocumented Individuals

Yes another little thing we ought to know by now.

Pandering in LA

 From A Silent Observer

As an Independent, non-Republican and non-Democrat, I see what's going on in Los Angeles as both sad and funny.

Sad that the constituents of the City of Los Angeles, the LA County and the State of California get to have front row seats to the pandering antics of their elected officials and the aftermath of their decisions.

Funny, because we really reap what we sow (or who we vote in).

Source: Commentary, labusinessjournal

Man, the press releases of President Trump, Governor Newsom, Mayor Bass and other LA Officials who want to join in the limelight are just crazy. And they are all obviously and unapologetically pandering to their supporters and using manipulative tactics to sway public opinion. This is like watching a movie or a TV series.

Hollywood

I am almost out of words to explain or justify how those who support these selfish politicians can continue to listen and believe the sincerity of their words and not be able to see their hidden agenda.

My heart bleeds for the undocumented aliens in Los Angeles who are honest and law abiding people, law abiding other than the fact that they are in the US illegally.

My mind cannot comprehend those who do not support the arrest of undocumented aliens who have committed and are committing serious criminal acts and have outstanding arrest warrants.

Let us listen to these politicians rhetoric but without our personal biases.

And let us stop pointing fingers.

Every politician involved are at fault.

Law enforcement and public officials can do their jobs only when they all are able to work together and when they aren't prioritizing their party's and their individual interests.

In the meantime, we the public are watching Los Angeles getting trashed everyday.

ICE and local law enforcement should sit down and find a mutually agreed plan of action. And they should all work together.

Politicians of both parties should stop having press releases but instead hold close door meetings with one another and find common ground. Is there really nobody who wants to do the right thing?

Constituents should petition their local officials to change the laws that affect them. And they should stop voting in the same useless politicians and only vote those who deserve their trust.

AMERICA IS DIVIDED

Yes another little thing we ought to know by now, or at least before we take sides or open our mouth.

America Is Divided

 

ICE RAIDS

America is divided and it's not going to to be united.

Why, because people are biased. They are stubborn. They are ******. They have their own agenda.

People will only listen to things that support what they believe in.

Yet there is one simple solution.

ICE should only arrest people who have outstanding arrest warrants. They should only go after undocumented people who have been found guilty of crimes, specially heinous ones.

Police and other local Law Enforcement agencies should work hand in hand with ICE agents and support them to take into custody these people and this way ICE is only in their territories only as needed.

But the question really is who will give in?

Everyone in both sides are tough guys.
