But first, murders in Vermont, reaching the highest level in decades, the state's largest city, Burlington, with a population of just 40,000 people, reports five homicides this year the most since 1960. Officials there voted to defund the police in 2020, since then violent colonies are up 20% across the board. So you can say that Vermont and Burlington is getting what it

deserves. Canada radically expanding access to medically assisted suicide. Beginning in March, people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness will be able to use the government's death program. Canada, now one of six countries in the world where a person suffering from mental problems can get a doctor to kill them. The procedure was previously also used on late stage cancer victims, which you can somewhat understand. But now people with mental troubles can end it all with the help of Ottawa.

the day. Los Angeles says it will spend more than a billion taxpayer dollars sheltering homeless people. Right now, the homeless population in L.A. is 75,000 approximately. That figure up 30% in the last decade. LA's new mayor, Karen Bass, who was sworn in last Sunday, has declared a homeless state of emergency. Back in 2016, 1.2 billion taxpayer dollars was allocated by L.A. to build homes for the homeless. Since then, six years ago, just 1,000 units have been built. The cost 800,000 per house.

On August 5th of this year, the LA City Council proved another measure that forces hotels and motels to place homeless people in unoccupied rooms. Under the initiative, hotels in LA would be required a notice. to notify officials every day by 2 p.m., how many empty rooms they have for the night. Hotels will be compensated through a voucher system. They cannot refuse entry to the homeless no matter what shape those people are in. So industry leaders say the measure will endanger the safety of hotel workers and gas, which it will because so many homeless people are drug involved. The final proposal

whether to force the hotels and motels to house the homeless will be voted on November 24. Early estimates predict the program will cost between 250,000 and a half million a night. In total, the city of Los Angeles right now spends a billion every year to house the homeless. Now, what about all the working poor people in Los Angeles? They don't get free housing, free hotel rooms. The substance abusers and mentally ill get them. No strings attached. no drug testing, no competency, nothing.

Does that sound fair to you? Should hardworking Americans be forced to support the lifestyle of substance abusers? I mean, think about it. Hey, I'm going to live my life in a state of inebriation. I'm not going to work. I'm going to live out on the street in front of, somebody's house, I'm going to be irresponsible and do exactly what I want, and you, the taxpayer, are going to give me a house. Does that make sense? It does not. The solution to this

problem of the homeless, mentally ill, drug abusers, the solution is to build therapeutic communities where these people can go and get the treatment they need. And if they don't go, that's too bad.

By her 17th birthday, she would become one of the biggest stars in the world. Here is the story of Taylor Swift. Now, Taylor's early life was spent on her family's Christmas tree farm. She began taking guitar and vocal lessons at the age of nine. As a young teenager, Taylor modeled for clothing brands like Abercrombie and Fitch.

state. To help her break into the music business, her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee. She was signed to a record label in 2005 and released her debut album 10 months later. Her first single spent 300 weeks on the charts. The song went double platinum. Tela Swift released her second album in 2008 and became one of the most successful touring artists. of the year grossing $100 million. Wow. In September 2009, Taylor Swift was the first country music artist to win an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. Her acceptance speech was infamously hijacked by Kanye West, who went up on stage demanding the award be given to Beyonce. Remember that? Crazy Kanye. Since then, Taylor Swift has released

another five albums, appeared in eight movies, 12 TV shows, and won 11 Grammys. And here's something else you might not know. Taylor's parents believed she would be a star before she was even born.
