A GOP Senator met with more than 100 Indian contract workers in Congress and publicly urged them to lobby U.S. Senators for passage of his legislation to give citizenship to more Indian workers who push middle-class Americans out of college-graduate jobs.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) made the request on Thursday, shortly his fourth bid to pass his S.286 green-card giveaway bill. The bill was quickly blocked by an objection from a Democratic Senator — while the other 52 GOP Senators did not speak out. “We’re now down to one objector, just one,” Lee claimed, adding:  Continue reading “GOP Sen.

Mexico’s botched mission to capture an alleged drug-peddling son of narcotics kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán started with an arrest warrant from a federal judge in Washington, DC, his lawyer told The Post on Friday.

Eight people were killed when Mexican agents stormed a home in the country’s drug-infested Sinaloa state Thursday with an arrest warrant for Ovidio Guzman Lopez but abandoned the job when they were outgunned by cartel gunmen.  Continue reading “Botched mission to capture El Chapo’s son sparked by DC judge”

President Donald Trump made a startling statement Friday afternoon while boasting about how he believes he handled his widely-condemned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Northern Syria – a move that had opened the gate to ethnic cleansing of America’s now-former allies, the Kurds.

“We’ve taken control of the oil in the Middle East, the oil that we’re talking about, the oil that everybody was worried about. We have the U.S. control of that,” Trump said, minutes after concluding a talk with the first two women astronauts to participate in an all-women spacewalk.  Continue reading “Trump Makes Startling Statement: ‘We’ve Taken Control of the Oil in the Middle East – U.S. Has Control of That’”

Rightwing activists are attempting to spread new laws across Republican-controlled states that would ban criticism on public university campuses of Israel and its occupation of Palestinian territory.

Pro-Israel and conservative lobbyists are encouraging state lawmakers to outlaw antisemitism in public education, from kindergarten through to graduate universities. But the proposed definition of antisemitism is so wide that, in addition to standard protections against hate speech towards Jews, it would also prohibit debate about the human rights violations of the Israeli government.  Continue reading “Revealed: rightwing push to ban criticism of Israel on US campuses”

A series of news reports seem to give evidence that global conditions are getting increasingly better, which should bring climate alarmists, green justice warriors, and Extinction Rebellion cultists cause to celebrate.

To begin with, the American bison (i.e., buffalo) were on the verge of actual extinction. Now, their herds have increased to the point officials have reintroduced the animal to an area of the Badlands National Park area. Those will be the first bison in that area in about 150 years.  Continue reading “Data Suggests Less “Climate Crisis” Than the Eco-Activists Would Have You Believe”

Red Ice TV on Thursday became the latest channel to be sent down the memory hole by our ruling oligarchs in Big Tech.

The Venezuelan government is readying to hand over control over state oil company PDVSA to Russia’s Rosneft, a local newspaper has reported, citing sources from the industry.

Russian TASS reports, quoting El Nacional, that the radical move is being discussed as a way of erasing Caracas’ debt to Moscow. The debt is sizeable: at the end of June this year, money owed to Rosneft alone stood at $1.1 billion. That’s down from $1.8 billion at end-March.  Continue reading “Russia Ready To Seize Control Of The World’s Largest Oil Reserves”

Glendale, AZ — It was supposed to be a Snapchat organized drive-in party in an industrial part of Glendale, AZ long after the businesses closed for the week. But what started off as a great idea to meet up in cars and groups ended with one 17-year-old high school student being gunned down by police early Sunday morning. Levy Isaac Madueno Santibanez was shot after apparently ignoring police commands to disperse. Part of the incident was captured on video and it is nothing short of horrifying.  Continue reading “Disturbing Video Shows Cop Shooting AR-15 Near Crowd of Teens, Killing 17yo Boy”

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigners on Friday vowed to stage a major march at the weekend despite police ruling the rally illegal, setting the scene for possibly more unrest in the Chinese-ruled city, battered by months of violent protests.

Hong Kong has been relatively calm for the past week, with only small, often colorful demonstrations, and Sunday’s march will test the strength of the pro-democracy campaign, which has in the past rallied millions on to the streets.  Continue reading “Hong Kong protesters vow to hit the streets in major ‘illegal’ march”

In an entirely unsurprising development, it only took hours for Turkey to break the US-brokered deal for a 5-day ceasefire in northern Syria. The late Thursday newly inked ceasefire was announced by Vice President Mike Pence following a lengthy meeting with President Erdogan; it crucially involved allowing Kurdish fighters to evacuate battleground border towns and in exchange Turkey would agree to halt its offensive.  Continue reading “US-Brokered Ceasefire In Syria Already Shattered By New Turkish Airstrikes”

Politico ran a column covering Democrat presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s government mandated AR-15 buyback, succinctly summarizing it “eminent domain for guns.”

On September 12, 2019, O’Rourke said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” And on October 16, 2019, he made clear that law enforcement will visit those who do not comply with the buyback in order to “recover” rifles.  Continue reading “Politico: Beto O’Rourke Seeking ‘Eminent Domain for Guns’”

Beto O’Rourke, for instance, once again loudly and obnoxiously announced his intention to confiscate semiautomatic “assault weapons” from their lawful owners. He said he “believes” that compliance will be forthcoming.  Continue reading “The ATF Has Been Enforcing a Rule That Does Not Exist”

WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared divided over the legality of Kansas prosecuting three immigrants for violating identity theft laws by using other people’s Social Security numbers in a dispute over whether the state impermissibly encroached on federal control over immigration policy.

The justices heard arguments in the state’s appeal of a 2017 Kansas Supreme Court ruling that voided the convictions of the three restaurant workers and found that a 1986 federal law called the Immigration Reform and Control Act prevents states from pursuing such prosecutions.  Continue reading “U.S. Supreme Court divided over Kansas illegal immigrant identity theft case”
