MORE ODDITIES in “The News” +
As usual, we are hearing fake stories about the loss of immigrants. They are peddling untruths, of course. The current administration has increased the processing of people seeking to immigrate legally. 99.9% of those being exported are those here illegally. The other 0.1% are some of those who overstayed their visa. So, here’s one in Axios: Jun 18, 2025 – Economy: The immigrants caring for the nation’s elderly are losing their jobs, by Emily Peck.
Here’s the lie: We aren’t losing LEGAL immigrants. Huffpost says: “But they fear even more dramatic impacts are ahead as pipelines of potential workers slow to a trickle with an overall downturn in legal immigration.” However, the opposite is the truth. The United States is increasing the number of LEGAL immigrants. Trump is pushing for an increase in legal migrant farm workers. The legal immigration rules have been loosened allowing MORE people to apply for legal status from dozens of countries.
The truth about illegal migrants: Some of those who broke the immigration laws to get here are leaving or being arrested, but only a small percentage will be deported in 2025. There are still more than 20 MILLION illegal immigrants in America.
Second part of the lie: Those illegals who are working in health care SHOULD NOT be working there. Health care is where you want the most ethical people. Those who broke the law to get here, by definition, are NOT the most ethical people. So, exactly who wants them to be taking care of grandpa? Can he understand them? Have they gotten appropriate vaccines? Do they have proper training and certifications for their jobs? Can they even read and understand the care instructions? Oh my goodness! This is a seriously bad situation if illegal aliens are in health care!! They should not be there.
We should be telling the truth about THIS if about nothing else.

Parade has: Iconic Pop Star, 41, Shocks Fans With First Pregnancy Reveal — “‘”I Didn’t See This Coming” by Isabella Torregiani, Tue, July 8, 2025.
No one asked her what she meant, but I think she did. There are natural consequences to human behaviors. Pregnancy is a natural consequence to a certain behavior. You can “see that coming.” Why would we pretend otherwise? Accidents can’t be predicted, but behaviors can predict outcomes. We should teach our youth about that, ‘eh? Send this music star back to high school health classes?
Maybe she meant she didn’t see the desire for children coming. Again, I think she could. When you find the person who makes you feel comfortable, a person who is competent and caring, then you feel cared about and the prospects of raising a family with such a person becomes foreseeable.
Either way, I think she did. Why did no one ask her what she meant? It could be that she either needs to know the facts of life or she needs confirmation that this fella is worth investing in. Maybe she discovered that she thinks she has something to give; some hope to share with the future. Again, knowable.
There are only two reasons to have children. One is stupidity. The other is hope. Both are knowable.

I Overlooked These 12 Foods Until I Learned How Healthy They Are
Being “healthy” doesn’t mean you have to spend extra on organic superfoods and expensive supplements. These common foods are healthier than you think. by Nasha Addarich Martínez. (Medically Reviewed) July 11, 2025
I’m sorry, but have YOU ever seen “healthy” bread or eggs? How did you know they exercised daily? I eat meat from formerly “healthy” cows and chickens. They are tested randomly. Chicken ranchers are required to maintain certain standards. Sick chickens are not sent to the meat packing plant.
In case you don’t know, the WORD they are desperately searching for is “HEALTHFUL.” It has a radically different meaning than “healthy.” The impact of my diet on me is “healthful” or “unhealthful.” The product can have “health” if it is a plant or animal, but meat, non-fertilized eggs, breads, or processed food CANNOT be “healthy” as they aren’t breathing or doing photosynthesis. They’re DEAD and soon will be rotting if not eaten first! (Not very healthy after all).
