Hello Connie,

I very much hope you are mistaken about a woman winning the election.  Hopefully, we are better than that.

To the thank you for your service, time to retire note--add Mitch. Poor guy. Sad.

DICK, THAT INFORMATION DIRECT FROM BIDENS. MOUTH WHEN TALKING 

 

Joe Biden declared the pandemic over in the fall of 2022.

Now Biden has some bad news for the American people.

And Joe Biden is about to sign one terrifying vaccine mandate.

I just wanted to thank everyone for remembering me on my birthday, Bill Williams, Connie, Cheryl, Nelson. So much appreciate you all. I have been enjoying grandkids this year. Getting older means I have had to scale back on some interests but I guess that goes with the territory haha. I hope you all are enjoying your families as well. Take care and be safe out there. Love you all!

From a friend--a former Roswell resident-- now in Wisconsin.  Click results show --interesting.

 

The results show enormous gaps between the regions that don’t go away when you parse by race, income, education, urbanization or access to quality medical care. They amount to a rebuke to generations of elected officials in the Deep South, Greater Appalachia and New France — most of whom have been Republican in recent decades — who have resisted investing tax dollars in public goods and health programs."

Thank you Dick Story and Clark Walter for the bd greetings. Nice to hear from you guys. I have a question for Bill though. I get these messages on my phone that they have been sent, but I can't find them on this site, except for the one from Bill Williams and Dick Story. Why can't I find them on the RHS site?

Homeless Crisis Slams into This Red State – You Won’t Believe What This “Invasion” Just Did The town of Casper, Wyoming

By Mick Farthing|September 5, 2023

You probably know all about how blue states are destroying themselves. Democrat policies have allowed crime to rage, as police are defunded and criminals are rewarded. Illegal aliens flood cities, as drug addicts swarm the streets. Police cannot deal with the growing number of homeless, because towns and radical judges are preventing them from doing their job.

We don’t see much of this happening in red states, because police are allowed to remove homeless and dismantle their encampments. On top of that, most red states haven’t legalized drugs nor stripped PDs of needed funding. But if you thought this crisis wouldn’t reach your state, think again. Because in one conservative state, the invasion has hit hard.

From The Post Millennial:

The town of Casper, Wyoming has been inundated with homeless people, with some estimates coming in at 200…

Squatters moved in and caused millions of dollars in damage to the already dilapidated building, including leaving 500 pounds of human waste behind…

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen,” Casper Mayor Bruce Knell said in an interview with the Cowboy State Daily, “It’s third-world country stuff.”

Roughly 200 homeless have invaded the Wyoming town of Casper. They are living in empty buildings, especially a vacant hotel that was closed last year due to flooding. These homeless have trashed these buildings, leaving garbage and feces in their wake.

The town is now scrambling to find a solution. The city council is working on passing new ordinances that allow police to remove these squatters. But even the new rules might not be enough. It sounds as if the town is worried about backlash from the liberal media.

So, the wording of these new laws might not be strong enough to remedy the crisis.

Casper might sound like a one-off but just think about it. Where did these homeless come from? Why did they invade this small town, in a non-liberal, non-West Coast state?

The problems in blue cities might seem far away, but they won’t be for long. The longer we go without dealing with the chaos in blue cities, the more likely this stuff will end up on our front lawns.

Homelessness, drug addiction, and crime will only increase. Red states will struggle to maintain law and order, as blue states dump their problems into our lamps.

Something must be done… and soon.

Key Takeaways:

  • Homeless have overrun the Wyoming town of Casper.
  • Around 200 homeless have invaded, destroying buildings.
  • This comes as blue cities refuse to deal with growing homeless numbers.

Sorry to interrupt the politics, but I need the name and address of the reunion site as well as the start time on Friday. I fortunately ( or not) get so much e-Mail, I may have accidentally tossed it. I haven't booked a motel, so if all of you responders include yours, I'll probably pick from that list. Thanks. You may now resume your conversations. I'll jump in next Friday night!

Bill, and others if interested---

Casper is a nice town. We’ve been there often and even considered moving there—very low cost of living (e.g. no state income tax), beautiful country, good people and most of all wonderful fly-fishing. But, a relatively high crime rate.

It is a shame about the homeless people.

 

In case you want more:

Google:

Casper is a city in central Wyoming. It’s home to the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center, featuring dioramas and hands-on displays that evoke the journeys of 1800s pioneers. Contemporary art is on show at the Nicolaysen Art Museum. Fort Caspar, a reconstructed 1865 military post, houses a museum with local history exhibits like a 1901 sheep wagon. South, Casper Mountain offers a waterfall and ski slopes. ― Google

What is it like to live in Casper Wyoming?

Casper is in Natrona County. Living in Casper offers residents a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes. In Casper, there are a lot of parks. Many families and young professionals live in Casper and residents tend to be conservative. --Google

 

What is Casper known for?

Casper's nickname, “The Oil City”, is derivative of its long history as an oil industry hub in the Rocky Mountains. Wyoming's largest and most significant oil field in the 20th century, Salt Creek field, was in northern Natrona County about 40 miles north of Casper. Feb 8, 2023—Google

Population about 60,000.   Elevation: 5,118′. No seriously bad traffic problems.

Is it safe to live in Casper Wyoming?

Casper, known for its cowboy culture and oil-rich land, is Wyoming's second-largest city and the fifth most dangerous. Casper had the fourth-highest murder rate in Wyoming in 2020, as well as the fifth-highest rate of sexual assault cases. Jun 25, 2023

Wow!  I guess some of us don't get around much. 

My observation is that homelessness is flourishing in every state.  Alaska, Texas and Georgia (all very red) for examples.  Some dial it back to the elimination of state mental institutions. Ronald Reagan may have been the father of that movement while governor of California. 
 

Solutions are what we need to be talking about. Blame gets us nowhere.  Do we line the homeless up and shoot them?  Depriving them of nourishment will simply result in increased crime.  I wish I knew an easy answer.   We need to put together a task force of folks who understand the underlying psychology of homelessness and develop some real long term plans.

Local leaders talk about rising homeless numbers

New Mexico sees 48% surge in homelessness, according .................... 

https://www.krqe.com › news › new-mexico-sees-48-sur... 

Bruce--good points. Remember Trump asked if they could just shoot them in the leg (at the border). No easy answers to date. montana too. Another deep red state.

Trump's border wall, which he claimed Mexico would pay for, causes a lot of environmental damage, including harm to animal populations. 

POLITICO

Trump’s border wall caused ‘significant’ cultural, environmental damage, watchdog finds.

The 450 miles of barrier waived or disregarded environmental and historic preservation laws and interfered with endangered species, diverted water sources and caused other environmental damage, GAO said ( Government Accountability Office).

 With millions of illegal immigrants coming into the USA, do you really think it is surprising that the amount of homelessness has increased in the USA.  Legally they can’t get a work permit or work here.  Construction, restaurants hotels and other service industries employ some of them at a risk of getting fined.  All the crime, drugs, human trafficking, etc. that is happening because of illegal immigrants, border crossing and not being able to control our borders, and you are worried about environmental impact of a wall.  Anytime anything is built there is an environmental impact.  When you build a school, subdivision, hospital, or city there are environmental impacts.

On this day, I was at work and heard the first news of the attack  on the toowers.....we spent the rest of the day glued to the TV in Dave's office. It took a while to sink in and when it seemed to be so so bad, they fell!

Bet y'all remember where you were too.
