A federal judge ruled on Tuesday against President Donald Trump’s policy that made it more difficult for certain illegal immigrants to get a bond hearing.

The administration policy set in place two months ago said that those illegals could be detained until their asylum case is completed.  Continue reading “Ex-ICE Chief Goes Scorched Earth: Illegals Walk to America but Can’t Make It to Court”

The New York Times ran a column over the weekend calling for leftists to go after US Customs and Border Protection agents “in their home communities” to force them to “face consequences” for their work at migrant detention facilities.

Kate Cronin-Furman, a purple-haired feminist who is an “assistant professor of human rights” at the University College London Department of Political Science, wrote in the New York Times:  Continue reading “NYT: Target Border Patrol Agents ‘In Their Home Communities,’ Make Them ‘Face Consequences’”

Oregon lawmakers have voted to grant the state’s undocumented residents drivers’ licenses, amid a nationwide push to do so in response to data indicating that minor traffic violations are landing immigrants in deportation proceedings.

State senators voted 17–10 on Saturday to pass a bill granting licenses to all Oregon residents, regardless of citizenship status, which “eliminates [the] requirement that [a] person provide proof of legal presence before Department of Transportation issues [a] noncommercial driver license, noncommercial driver permit or identification card.”  Continue reading “Oregon Will Make Undocumented People Eligible For Drivers’ Licenses Again”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

While the headline payrolls number was stellar, coming in higher than even the most optimistic Wall Street forecast, one aspect of today’s jobs report that will likely become a major talking point for Democrats and other critics of the Trump economy, is that the number of multiple-jobholders soared from 7.855 million to 8.156 million, a monthly surge of 301,000 – the biggest since July 2018, and an indication that the jobs number was far weaker than the headline represents if one excludes all those workers who represented two jobs to the BLS’ various surveys.  Continue reading “It Wasn’t All Great News: Multiple Jobholders Soar To Record High”

Forgive me, Father, for I have worn spandex.

A controversial new comic series hits shelves Wednesday, imagining Jesus returning to Earth as a superhero sidekick, and The Post has an exclusive first look.

The satirical work is written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Richard Pace, and if you think some among the faithful might find the premise blasphemous, you’d be right.  Continue reading “‘Second Coming’ comic resurrects Jesus as controversial superhero”

When in the Course of sitting on our fat butts watching the fables of the Ministry of Propaganda on TV, it becomes necessary for us, the dumb masses, to embrace the political bands which have connected us with our government, and to accept the government as the powers of the earth, deny the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles us…, uh, we realize that… uh we, um, well… we don’t give a crap. Just send us our checks, our food stamp cards, and our TV Guides.  Continue reading “Declaration of Dependence”

Chuck Hughey braves security lines at Pittsburgh International Airport at least once a week. Not to catch a flight, but to get an ice cream cone or cruise a few of the concourses. Is he nuts? Not at all, he will tell you, just a doting grandfather. He and 3-year-old Cleo spend quality time there, riding the trams between terminals and gliding along the moving walkways.  Continue reading “Airports Open Up to Terminal Tourists Who Just Want to Hang Out”

This is Europa – by Mike Walsh

What do Macron, May, and Merkel have in common? They have no children, in fact, many European political leaders who make decisions affecting Europe’s future are childless. The same is true of Holland’s Mark Rutte, Italy’s Paolo Gentiloni Switzerland’s Simonetta Sommaruga, Sweden’s Stefan Löfven, Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel, Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon.

These globalists are a sinister reflection of an ideological Europe and its lack of will to reproduce and place the family at the center, literally as well as culturally. This disturbing trend threatens to make ours the last viable ethno-European generation.  Continue reading “Globalists Conspire To Destroy Ethnic Europe”

Strategic Culture – by Philip Giraldi

Over the past two years, the White House has initiated trade disputes, insulted allies and enemies alike, and withdrawn from or refused to ratify multinational treaties and agreements. It has also expanded the reach of its unilaterally imposed rules, forcing other nations to abide by its demands or face economic sanctions. While the stated Trump Administration intention has been to enter into new arrangements more favorable to the United States, the end result has been quite different, creating a broad consensus within the international community that Washington is unstable, not a reliable partner and cannot be trusted. This sentiment has, in turn, resulted in conversations among foreign governments regarding how to circumvent the American banking system, which is the primary offensive weapon apart from dropping bombs that Washington has to force compliance with its dictates.  Continue reading “Goodbye Dollar, It Was Nice Knowing You!”
