California’s Brawley Union High School District insists it can forbid Christian students from mentioning their faith in Jesus Christ, claiming that if they allow a student to speak publicly, then that student is merely an agent of the California state government, and as such forfeits all First Amendment rights.

This is an update to Breitbart News’ June 20 story on Brooks Hamby, who graduated this year as salutatorian from the high school. Hamby is a committed Christian who wanted to offer inspirational quotes from the Bible to his fellow students, and also a word of prayer to thank God, and asking that he bless all Hamby’s classmates with wisdom and success for whatever lies ahead for each of them.   Continue reading “School Claims Student Has No First Amendment Right Against Censorship”

The working mom of a seven-month-old son alleges that she was detained for an hour by TSA officials at San Diego’s Lindbergh Field as they meticulously scrutinized the bags of breast milk she was carrying. The heavy scrutiny on a working mom’s breast milk and, as Breitbart News has reported, the lapses of scrutiny on illegal aliens who have been able to fly on commercial airlines without identification is mindboggling.

ABC10 News reported that Nicole Moberg, a sales director for a medical company, travels extensively on her job, so she comes prepared with pre-pumped breast milk. She separates the milk into individual plastic bag servings and then puts these into larger, one-gallon Ziploc bags. Moberg says that typically security agents check the large bags, determine their content, then let her on her way.   Continue reading “TSA Takes a Tough Stance Against Breast Milk”

The National Border Patrol Council released a statement asserting that it stands behind reports that illegal aliens were allowed to board commercial flights by presenting their Notice to Appear documents as personal identification to the TSA:

The National Border Patrol Council was recently notified that as recently as July 9, 2014, illegal aliens, who had been processed by Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector, were released with an I-862, Notice to Appear, and used that document as identification to board commercial aircraft at Laredo International Airport.   Continue reading “National Border Patrol Council: ‘We Stand Behind’ Report of TSA Letting Illegal Immigrants on Plane Without ID”

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—In a sign of the far-reaching impact of the U.S. immigration crisis and its political fallout, Nebraska’s governor says 200 children who entered the country illegally were sent to his state this week without warning and that federal officials are refusing to identify them or their locations.

Gov. Dave Heineman, a Republican, said federal officials also wouldn’t answer questions about public school attendance by the children and the potential costs to taxpayers.   Continue reading “Governor Vexed With Secrecy in Sending Illegal Immigrants to Nebraska”

William Binney is one of the highest-level whistleblowers to ever emerge from the NSA. He was a leading code-breaker against the Soviet Union during the Cold War but resigned soon after September 11, disgusted by Washington’s move towards mass surveillance.

On 5 July he spoke at a conference in London organised by the Centre for Investigative Journalism and revealed the extent of the surveillance programs unleashed by the Bush and Obama administrations.   Continue reading “The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control”

China’s yuan is a growing force in global finance, more than doubling in use over the past year, according to a new study from the Institute of International Finance Thursday.

Although its use in the international payments system remains dwarfed by the dollar and euro, the yuan, officially known as the renminbi, grew to 1.4 percent of total transactions.   Continue reading “China’s yuan ‘a growing force in global finance’”

In order to avoid future clashes with the citizens of Murrieta, Calif., over attempts to transfer illegal immigrants there, the Obama administration has turned to an unusual bedfellow: the Catholic Church. Deacon Luis Sanchez of the Diocese of San Bernardino tells National Review Online that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent approached the diocese on July 2, 2014, and “expressed his desire for the Church to help in helping these families reach their destination.” Since that time, he says, diocesan officials have spoken on the phone with ICE, and they held a planning meeting on Monday.      Continue reading “The Obama Administration’s Border-Crisis Plan B: Use the Catholic Church”

At a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday, President Barack Obama’s Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell said that beds for illegal immigrant children can cost the federal government up to $1,000 per bed.

While asking the senators to approve the Obama administration’s request for $3.7 billion to deal with the border crisis, Burwell said that beds can cost $250 to $1,000, and the supplemental funding was needed so the federal government can enter into more cost-effective contracts.   Continue reading “HHS Sec: Beds for Illegals Can Cost Feds Up to $1K”

Adult illegal immigrants posing as unaccompanied alien children appear to be attempting to enroll at public high schools, city officials in Lynn, Mass., tell National Review Online.

“Some of them have had gray hair and they’re telling you that they’re 17 years old and they have no documentation,” Jamie Cerulli, the Lynn mayor’s chief of staff, tells NRO. “If my children went to the public schools, I’d be very uncomfortable with all of these unaccompanied minors [that] are placed in the ninth grade.”    Continue reading “Adult Illegal Immigrants Posing as Children To Enroll in High School”

HOUSTON, Texas–As violence and cartel activity is becoming increasingly common near the border, citizen vigilante groups in Mexico–armed with rifles and machetes–are attempting to curb the crime on their own.

The citizens, who come from all walks of life, formed the vigilante groups because they feel their government has failed to control violence in Mexico. Others accuse the Mexican government of being infiltrated by cartels.   Continue reading “Mexican Vigilantes Fight Violence Near Border”
