Side thought: Even as a born in, I’ve always felt uncomfortable with the word publisher itself. A publisher would prepare and produce literature, should have always been distributors. 🧐

Asylum Caravan
by dubstepped inalright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?
i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?
it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.

RIO GRANDE VALLEY - Just one day after President Trump's trip to the Rio Grande Valley, Border Patrol agents recorded their highest apprehension numbers in 2019.
Before Thursday's visit, apprehension numbers were averaging in the 400's each day.
Those numbers jumped to 771 on Friday.
The Valley's Acting Chief Border Patrol Agent, Raul Ortiz said “Friday’s numbers support the President’s assertion that the current state of border remains porous. There is currently not enough infrastructure to adequately address the hundreds of illegals who cross here every night.”
So approximately 140,000 per year, only counting those apprehended.

DUMBO, BROOKLYN — The Jehovah's Witnesses have officially moved out of Brooklyn — or at least their headquarters have. The religious group announced that they sold the last remaining piece of their former Dumbo headquarters last week.
The last piece of property, found at 30 Front Street, was sold to development group Fortis Dumbo Acquisition. Fortis paid a whopping $91 million for the site, property records show.
It was once used as a parking lot for the organization's staff.
The development group plans to turn the lot into a 270-foot tall apartment building, YIMBY reported. Most of the 360,000-square-foot building will be for the 74 apartments, averaging 2,400 square feet each.
The rest will be used as community space and likely for 416 parking spaces in the plans, according to YIMBY.
The lot is the last of 37 properties the Jehovah's Witnesses have sold in Brooklyn since 2004, the group said. The organization decided in 2011 to move its headquarters to upstate New York.
Other notable sales over the years include 74 Adams Street, which was turned into a vehicle repair garage for the organization's fleet of cars and nearly doubled when expanded in 1990. The organization sold that spot last year, around the time they also sold their well-known "towers" on Clark Street.
The towers were a 16-story residential building in Brooklyn Heights that were used by the Witnesses for over four decades.
