The Daily Sheeple – by Sean Walton

It took last-minute changes and a lot of arm twisting by top Democratic leaders, but the House passed with relative ease Tuesday a $4.5 billion emergency border aid package to care for thousands of migrant families and unaccompanied children detained after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

The bill passed along party lines after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi quelled a mini-revolt by progressives and Hispanic lawmakers who sought significant changes to the legislation. New provisions added to the bill Tuesday were more modest than what those lawmakers had sought, but the urgent need for the funding — to prevent the humanitarian emergency on the border from turning into a debacle — appeared to outweigh any lingering concerns.  Continue reading “House passes $4.5 billion emergency border aid package to care for detained migrant families”

New reports from across the country show that police departments are unable to keep their numbers up as fewer people are applying to be cops. There is a police recruitment crisis in America but this should not surprise anyone and can serve as a major opportunity, if we seize it.

According to Bethesda Magazine, numbers in Montgomery county, Maryland show police recruitment has dropped by nearly half in just the last few years. Instead of looking both inward and outward, officials are simply blaming it on increased police scrutiny.  Continue reading “Reports Show US Police Having Trouble Hiring More Cops — A Sign We Need a Major Change”

Negotiations with Iran are over before they could even take place.  After President Trump and Iranian leadership exchanged more insults on Tuesday, the Iranians declared that the “channel of diplomacy” is now closed “forever”.  Of course anything is possible in the future, but for now it appears that any possibility of a diplomatic solution is completely dead, and the clock is ticking because two exceedingly important deadlines are coming up within the next two weeks.  Continue reading “2019 Could Be The Year That A War With Iran Changes Everything, And 2 Key Deadlines Loom Within The Next 2 Weeks”

The platform, 12 miles off the coast of Louisiana, fell over after an underwater mudslide triggered by the hurricane on Sept. 15, 2004.

Mexico City (AFP) – Mexico’s president vowed Tuesday to investigate the controversial detention of migrants trying to cross the US border, saying the 15,000 troops he has deployed there have no such orders.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a leftist who took office in December vowing to protect migrants’ rights, has come under fire over an AFP journalist’s images last week of heavily armed National Guardsmen forcibly detaining two women and a girl at the Rio Grande river, across from El Paso, Texas.  Continue reading “Mexico will not detain migrants at US border: president”

The Baby Boomers ruined America. That sounds like a hyperbolic claim, but it’s one way to state what I found as I tried to solve a riddle. American society is going through a strange set of shifts: Even as cultural values are in rapid flux, political institutions seem frozen in time. The average U.S. state constitution is more than 100 years old. We are in the third-longest period without a constitutional amendment in American history: The longest such period ended in the Civil War. So what’s to blame for this institutional aging?  Continue reading “The Boomers Ruined Everything”

The NYPD, in conjunction with the New York City Heritage of Pride March organizers, announced the safety measures and route changes that will take place during Sunday’s Pride March.

For 2019, the 50th annual Heritage of Pride March is coinciding with the Stonewall 50 Rally and WorldPride — an international event which celebrates the LGBTQ community through parades, festivals, and other cultural activities.

A Maryland man was arrested on Sunday after he interrupted an event at the St. Mary’s County library which featured drag queens reading to young children. Many critics believe this is an attempt to groom kids to the LGBT agenda.

Ashley Kyle Morgan, 42, came to the event at 1:40pm but was denied access to the room where the readings were happening. A police sergeant told Morgan that he was denied access to the room, as it was a private event despite being held at a public library.  Continue reading “Maryland Man Arrested for Interrupting ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ at Public Library”

Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Anti-gun lawmakers, including some of those vying for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, are becoming increasingly open about their desire to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens and jail those who don’t comply. Perhaps taking a cue from their strident federal allies, this trend has trickled down to state politicians.

On June 11, anti-gun Illinois state lawmakers Sen. Julie Morrison and Rep. Bob Morgan held a “townhall” meeting in Deerfield, Ill. The NRA state affiliate, the Illinois State Rifle Association, encouraged members to attend the meeting and ask Morrison about her sponsorship of SB107.  Continue reading “Illinois Sen. Julie Morrison, Come Try & Confiscate our Guns, WE DARE YOU!”
