SEOUL, South Korea — The U.S. believes North Korea fired its first intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday, two U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News — a significant step forward in Pyongyang’s weapons program.

The ICBM, which is believed to be “two-stage,” officials said, would have a range of at least 3,500 miles, and thus be capable of reaching Alaska.

The North Korean regime earlier Tuesday claimed it successfully fired a long-range missile into the Sea of Japan, declaring itself a “proud nuclear state.”   Continue reading “North Korea Tested Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, U.S. Officials Believe”

The House on Thursday passed two hard-line immigration bills that would penalize illegal immigrants who commit crimes and local jurisdictions that refuse to work with federal authorities to deport them.

Both bills, Kate’s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, passed on largely party-line votes amid heavy promotion from Republicans, starting with President Trump.   Continue reading “House passes bills to crack down on ‘sanctuary cities’ and deported criminals who return to U.S.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law set to take effect Saturday that would have barred gun owners from possessing high-capacity ammunition magazines.

The judge ruled that the ban approved by the Legislature last year takes away gun owners’ Second Amendment rights and amounts to the government taking people’s private property without compensation.

California law has prohibited buying or selling the magazines since 2000, but until now allowed those who had them to keep them.   Continue reading “Judge blocks California’s high-capacity magazine ban”

The name of the book/movie mentioned the yesterday is called the Milagro Beanfield War by John Nichols, it takes place in my state of New Mexico and is a comedy, but also puts a great deal of truth about the corruption in this state about water rights and choking out the farmers to make room for the ranchers and tourist tycoons. Example being Ladd Devine you would recognize in the book, he buys up all the land in good ole boy deals and turns it all into a massive uberstate hunting preserve and resort with “planned” golf course (book takes place during this time).  Continue reading “Milagro Beanfield War”

The bills, introduced Thursday by House Judiciary Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte, R-Va., are stand-alone versions of provisions included in a more comprehensive enforcement measure approved by Goodlatte’s committee in May.   Continue reading “House to Take Up Immigration Enforcement Bills”

“This is the biggest nuclear blunder of all time!”– Ray Lutz, Founder/ Citizen’s Oversight.

The Syrian government dismissed the White House’s unsubstantiated, and bizarrely ominous late Monday night allegations that it was preparing a new chemical weapons attack. According to AP, Ali Haidar, the Syrian minister for national reconciliation, dismissed the White House’s warning and said it foreshadowed a diplomatic campaign against Syria at the U.N., according to the AP. Or maybe military campaign.

The Kremlin also dismissed the White House statement, which had warned that Assad and his military would “pay a heavy price” if it goes ahead with the attack. Russian  President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “such threats to Syria’s legitimate leaders are unacceptable.”   Continue reading “Syria Denies Plans For A Chemical Attack As Russia Slams US Warning As “Unacceptable””

TORONTO/WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) – Thousands of people who fled to Canada to escape President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migrants have become trapped in legal limbo because of an overburdened refugee system, struggling to find work, permanent housing or enroll their children in schools.

Refugee claims are taking longer to be completed than at any time in the past five years, according to previously unpublished Immigration and Refugee Board data provided to Reuters. Those wait times are set to grow longer after the IRB in April allocated “up to half” of its 127 tribunal members to focus on old cases. The number of delayed hearings more than doubled from 2015 to 2016 and is on track to increase again this year.  Continue reading “Asylum seekers in Canada who fled Trump now trapped in legal limbo”
