Trump Deport Millions of Illegals: Chris Isaak, Sly & Family

[Editor’s Note:  This is the latest edition of Tick’s Notes and Tunes. It is a transcript of a fictional radio broadcast with direct links to the tunes being played.  The transcript is in 3 parts.

(1.)The first is the first half of a transcript of the radio broadcast with tune links; (2.) The Editorial: (which normally deals with the subject in the title of this post) Today it’s about  Southern Border Issues particularly about Trump’s Plan to Deport of Illegal Aliens ; and (3.) The second half of the radio broadcast with tune links.

The purpose of this blog is to discuss, enlighten and educate the reader about relevant political, economic and business matters and to help maintain both a record and an appreciation for good old man-made music before AI makes man and real music a mere afterthought. ]

 

 

Okay, folks’

Stony Riva here

We can’t waste any time tonight

We have a full slate of tunes

And Rufus’ editorial as well.   So….

 

Let’s start this evenings festivities

With a tune I’m sure Red Dog will like

 

The Oracle of Wiki says that

Our first band formed in the late

60s’ who kept pumpin out great

Psychedelic and progressive soul

And funk right through the early 80s ….

“…was the first major American

rock group to have a

racially integrated

mixed-gender lineup.”

 

Moreover 3 of its members

Of its numerous members

were from the same

Family.

 

I’m talkin here about

Sly, Freddie and Rose

They were all members of

Sly and the Family Stone

Here doin’ a great kick off tune called….

 

Fun

Next up we have a tune

That that we alredy played many moons ago

On DJ Ltd

And Sir Thomas seemed to enjoy it

If I recall

But that version of the tune was done by the

Its original artist the  Attack

 

The Attack was a group that

Our all star Assistant Executive Producer

Of Everything…Ms. Suzi

turned us onto

yes, they too lurked in our Garage

for many decades before

once again seeing the light

here in DJ Ltd.

 

Here, however

we have another rendition,

this time a cover

Probably a little more to Red Dog’s liking

Simply because it has more cowbell

…er …er

Sorry, I mean’t horns

 

This version is by  Peter Wyngarde

I must confess I was hesitant to play this

Because I love the Attack version

And I didn’t think anything could match it

But this version has also kind of grown on me.

I mean the arpeggiated backing track

And Mr. Wyngarde’s baritone voice

Is addicting

Because it almost puts one in

A fairytale-like trance.

 

So, I’m gonna give  Mr. Wyngarde

A shot at this

 

Here he is

Performing his rendition of

Neville Thumbcatch.

Now there!

Don’t you feel like Red Dog just read you a bedtime story?

 

Next up

Our last tune before we hear from Rufus Coldwater

 

With this tune we sorta

Boldly go

Where DJ Ltd has never gone before

 

To a place of no distinctions

A place of ambiguity

Part disco….

(And we all know

How our DJ feels about disco)

Part new wave…

part this

Part that

Part…..whatever

 

What can I say…for us

It’s different

I sorta look at it

As marketing outreach

 

It’s by a guy who according to the Oracle of Wiki

Has the distinction of having the Crown bestow upon him

The title….

Officer of the Order of the British Empire

 

He was originally a founding member of Soft Cell

Remember them?

..yeah

Remember?  “Tainted Love” from MTV days…

 

Anyway our next artist

has sold over 30 million records

 

I don’t know how I ended up with this selection

Other than I love Tainted Love

And when I saw the bio on this guy

He definitely…at least at one time…

Had almost my exact taste in record collection

 

So, basically his taste in music

As evidence by his record collection sold me

On giving him a shot

 

But…oddly enough

he took me in a slightly different direction….

 

Just make sure Yinz clear out a space around ya

So you can get up and dance.

 

Here’s

 

Marc Almond performing  Adored and Explored

https://youtu.be/wMCjuLd26Rw?si=8zi4YX0UM1q0shAz

 

Well folks, I hope everyone enjoyed our little trip

…or maybe it was dipping our toe ….

Into the land of androgyny

But we at DJ Ltd thinks it’s important

To think outside the box from time to time

 

But that brung us to that time again

That time being

Rufus time

 

And so

Here’s Rufus Coldwater with another

Unduly attention challenging foray

Into obtuse subjects

That will kill anyone’s buzz

 

Relax Rufus

Relax

Just kidding

 

It’s all yours….  take it away

Thanks Stony.

Folks I’ve got so much information here that I’m going to do everyone a favor and try to boil it down to something that’s manageable in size.

 

For some background on the Southern border issue itself, if you have some time, you may want to consider the contents of the following page:

 

https://reasonandbalance.com/deporting-illegal-immigrants-trumps-proposal/

 

 

Regarding Trump’s deportation proposal here in 2024, please consider the following:

 

TRUMP’s MASS DEPORTATION PROPOSAL

 

Various sources have analyzed Trump’s vague campaign promises to deport virtually all illegal immigrants.   This of course is hugely appealing position to take to a nation that has an electorate that has been overwhelmed with immigrants.   It becomes very unsettling for Americans to find themselves often surrounded by folks who don’t speak English, who have business signs and  radio stations that broadcast in a foreign language.  The estimated number of illegals is anywhere between 11 and 14 million people which is a larger than the population of most states.  Pennsylvania for example has a population of just under 13 million.

 

For a very detailed analysis of Trump’s proposed mass deportation of illegal immigrants readers can consult:

https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/the-personnel-and-infrastructure-needed-to-remove-all-undocumented-immigrants-in-two-years/

 

and

 

https://forumaction.org/article/the-real-costs-of-mass-deportation-millions-of-neighbors-and-our-economic-future/

 

And for those, who don’t have much time, here’s also another informative 1 minute video on the subject:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7Y3mDdTjI

 

 

It must be remembered that Trump promised mass deportations once before but the actual number of deportations that occurred during the Trump administration was far less than what he promised on the campaign trail.  (I believe his administration’s actual deportations were only 10 percent or so of what he promised, but I’d have to double check.)  Moreover, he promised to construct a border wall, It however, has not been finished. He also promised to have Mexico pay for the border wall that has been constructed, and that too has not happened.

 

A big reason for these failures is the size and complexity of the problem and the fact that promises are cheap and effective action on the scale he (Trump) proposes is probably impossible.  Different sources come up with different numbers and much depends on the assumptions made in the analysis.  But here are a few highlights.

 

To apprehend, house temporarily, process (legally) and then transport illegal aliens the cost would be somewhere between $220,000 billion (low end estimate to $600 billion)

 

Then because of losses to the work force (possibly driving up wages) and reducing the number of  customers for remaining American businesses the economy would lose about $1 trillion to $1.6 trillion dollars in future growth.

 

To do all the deportations in 2 years as Trump suggests the size of the federal government would have to grow by well over 100,000 employees (see the American Action Forum article above) in an extremely short period of time.

 

And to make matters worse, for anyone with any humanitarian instincts at all, the disruption effects on children and families would be enormous and who knows what would happen to race-religious and ethnic tensions in this country.

 

Moreover, from a financial perspective, implementing Trump’s plan would:

 

  • Cause everyone to pay much higher taxes (we figure at least 10 percent higher but probably  much more simply because the current budget deficit of  $1.6 trillion is already too high); and/or
  • Cause the deficit to spiral further out of control (like Covid and the 2008 financial crises did) thus making future inflation and higher interest rates much more likely.

 

As such, it would seem impossible for Trump to honor any campaign promise to reduce everyone’s taxes if he also intends to deport illegal aliens en masse.  If he promises to cut everyone’s taxes and make up the difference by imposing a system of tariffs, it guarantees that the price of all goods and services in this country will go up because generally prices of items subjected to new tariffs go up In short Trump is making promises he can’t keep, and worse, he probably knows it, but doesn’t care.  He’s lied before (that is, about his 2020 election loss and on the matters on which he’s been convicted in New York state courts) and he’ll lie again.

 

Yes folks that’s a lot to digest.  Please do so and carefully consider it when deciding to vote.

 

Thanks.   This is Rufus Coldwater

Back to you Stony.

Thanks Rufus.

I just wish you’d tell us what you really think for a change

 

Okay, what’s this?

Oh yes,  up next is a tune

That Suzi brung us from the garage.

 

I am so lucky to have a great lookin’ assistant producer of everything

Who just loves the 60s

And lookin’ at the cover of this next record

I can tell it’s gonna be a good one.

 

Why?  Because its so moldy lookin’

 

I look at it like

it just came from

An expensive

vintage wine cellar….French of course

 

Anyway…

Here’s a tune from a Fort Worth garage band

Recorded in 1965

That, according the Oracle of Wiki

Was originally called

Night of the Sadist.

 

However, after it’s initial release

The band decided to change the

Title because of their concern that the

Word Sadist would bar any radio airplay.

 

Here’s another of those great Fort Worth garage bands

Larry and the Blue Notes with

The Night of the Phantom

https://youtu.be/kQUJjJ2KDgs?si=WjK12G33GY6fC3uL

Or in one of his personal favorite venues

Berlin

During his own act

 

And the Euro crowds

For some reason can’t get enough

This evening’s cleanup tune

Is unquestionably his best

 

And if anyone needs some private time

After watchin’ the gal

In tonight’s cleanup video
