Six months ago, when he announced he was ending the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, President Donald Trump picked March 5 as the deadline for Congress to work out a solution to prevent DACA recipients from facing deportation.

But the president’s plans were thwarted by multiple court challenges, rendering Monday’s deadline all but meaningless. Now, as Congress and the Dreamers await a resolution in the courts, lawmakers have paused their legislative efforts and some 700,000 DACA recipients have been plunged into a constant state of uncertainty.   Continue reading “Dreamers deferred as Congress lets DACA deadline pass”

Media entrepreneur Steven Brill thinks there’s something missing from all the efforts to separate fake news from the real kind: Some smart and discerning humans.

Faced with the waves of mis- and disinformation lapping up on social media, Brill is proposing to apply some reader-beware labels to Internet news sources. His idea: ratings, as determined by teams of independent journalists, that would enable readers to understand where their news — or “news” — is coming from.   Continue reading “A journalistic fix for fake news? A new venture seeks to take on the epidemic.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers Thursday took revenge on Delta for cutting ties to the National Rifle Association, killing a proposed tax break on jet fuel that would have saved the airline millions.

A sweeping tax-cut bill that the Republicans had amended to strip out the fuel-tax exemption passed the GOP-controlled House and Senate by wide margins, just days after Delta reacted to the school massacre in Florida by saying it would no longer offer discount fares to NRA members.   Continue reading “Pro-gun Georgia lawmakers punish Delta for spurning the NRA”

A caged gorilla statue that was removed from a Texas park earlier this week after the city received complaints the structure was “racially insensitive” will be put back — without the black cage, the mayor told Fox News on Thursday.

The gorilla statue that has been at Corsicana’s Community Park for nearly two decades was removed Monday. Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow told FOX4 he received about 45 complaints from people saying the 500-pound gorilla statue, which is protected by a black cage, was “potentially racially insensitive.”   Continue reading “Caged gorilla statue called ‘racially insensitive’ will return to Texas park”

Invigorated by gun control advocates who flooded the Capitol Wednesday, the Illinois House passed a series of gun control measures that included a ban the sale of bump stocks and a requirement for gun dealers to be licensed.

The measures come just two weeks after tragedies involving firearms, including the death of Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer and the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, caught the nation’s attention and sparked widespread outcry over the previous lack of action on the issue.   Continue reading “Collection of gun control bills passes out of Illinois House”

“The evidence available thus far from the Valentine’s day massacre has been mounting against the Hogg family as undercover accomplices and beneficiaries in the clandestine operation that killed 17 students and teachers. David Hogg has zero right to talk about “gun control” when his father works for the most murderous part of the assault-rifle industry, the killer-training program known as Cubic Simulation Systems, a nice name for Murder Inc. Version 2.”

Hogg works for a company that simulates terror attacks among other kinds of firefights.   Continue reading “Kevin Hogg is Prime Suspect in Parkland Shooting”

The company said it will also raise the minimum age for all gun sales to 21. Dick’s (DKS) will not sell high-capacity magazines that allow shooters to fire far more rounds than traditional weapons without reloading, as well as other accessories used with weapons similar to the AR-15.   Continue reading “Dick’s Sporting Goods will stop selling assault-style weapons”

Kushner is not alone. All White House aides working on the highest-level interim clearances — at the Top Secret/SCI-level — were informed in a memo sent Friday that their clearances would be downgraded to the Secret level, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.   Continue reading “Kushner loses access to top-secret intelligence”

“The executive order I signed today is an immediate step we can take to make residents safer. It sets the table for a complementary legislative effort,” Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday. “We cannot wait a minute longer for Washington to take action to prevent gun violence.”   Continue reading “Rhode Island executive order encourages taking guns from ‘red flag’ individuals”

State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on February 20 that Washington supported united Syria with current borders. “We’re not changing it, we’re not supporting the changing or the addition of any kind of autonomous region”, she added.

The statement, however, runs counter to the DoD actions for its officials must have their own plans for Northern Syria. As early as late last year Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon confirmed the U.S. Air Force was going to stay in Syria as long as it would have to support the local Kurds and Syrian opposition partners as well as to prevent an ISIS recovery.  Continue reading “Why Does US have no Intention to Leave Syria?”
