On September 26, 2022, I warned my readers that becoming optimistic about a politician is hazardous to their general health and well-being. I used the example of the newly-elected Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni:

I hate to be nearly always right and way ahead of other members of the “opposition,”* but here is how the story continues:
To make a long story short, last year, 100k illegal immigrants arrived in Italy (86k from countries in peace) by boat only, as opposed to
19,471 - 2019
33,867 - 2020
64,055 - 2021
One can argue that 100k is still better than
181,436 - 2016
119,310 - 2017
Although 2018 is missing from the article above, the figures speak for themselves.
To add insult to injury, Meloni also swore allegiance to the Evil Clown in Kiev, although the country, traditionally, had been long enjoying a productive trade relationship with Moscow:
She, of course, is a full-fledged participant in the “covid” theater:

That’s for the Chinese.
If you think Americans have it much easier, hear it from the horses mouth:

If all this doesn’t speak for itself, what does?**
* After all, there must be a reason why about 300 of my subscibers are “news” agencies, other “authors,” or govt “agencies.” It looks like learning and using my ideas, sometimes months later, are proving beneficial for their businesses.
** I’ve been scolded by a few readers for my resistance to believe in DeSantis:

My “heroine” is Kristi Noem of SD, who, as opposed to DeSantis, never introduced any “covid” restrictions for some reason:
I guess, I am not falling for popular idols, either, even if it means losing some of my readership. In fact, I think, there would be something seriously wrong with me, if everybody “loved” me (my current state is not that serious :) ):

I have seen websites destroyed by being swamped by lengthy and irrelevant comments, so IF YOU WANT THIS SITE TO LAST, please, consider the following.
It has become a MAJOR problem that lots of topics are raised that do not pertain to the subject of the article. I am guilty, because I started to participate in such conversations previously, but I won’t be able to do it any longer.
I guess, it is because my time is limited, I haven’t done it, but people are coming up with several good topics that I must start separately in order to keep discussions on the subject. Swamping a comment section with irrelevant comments, no matter how interesting they are, deters good commenters, and eventually readers, in the long run.
Would you like to suggest topics for which I can start up articles for discussions?

Thank you on Italy post.
I used to go a couple times a year.
Have friends there.
I personally am too scared to go.
Trapped because of no vax.
It might be fine now, but in a flash it could change.
Also, how many of the little businesses we loved to visit are shuttered ? Heartbreaking.
They were recovering from the propaganda crash in ‘08.
Salvani, he seemed to be a pro Italy guy.
He shut down the immigration, at least noticeably different in Rome.
Cleaner, safer, not being harassed by carved elephant hockers.
