The audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos has reacted to US President Donald Trump’s remark about “fake news,” a term which has been named the word of the past year.

US President Donald Trump said, speaking at the Davos forum, “I’ve always gotten a lot of press, or media, I don’t know why…But It wasn’t until I became a politician that I saw how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be,” getting “boos” from the crowd in turn.

In President Trump’s historic immigration speech in Phoenix, Arizona during the 2016 presidential election, the then-candidate promised that amnesty for illegal aliens would never be considered until illegal immigration was ended, a border wall was constructed, and pro-American immigration reforms were enacted.

During the speech, Trump made clear that American workers would see benefits with pro-American immigration reforms before illegal aliens were given a pathway to legal status to permanently remain in the United States.  Continue reading “Trump’s 2016 ‘Phoenix Promise’: No Consideration of Amnesty Until ‘Illegal Immigration Is Memory of the Past’”

The Trump Administration’s newly-released “immigration outline” is a “preemptive surrender” which will mean an amnesty for up to two million illegal aliens—a number far bigger than what even was contemplated during the Obama presidency, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has warned.

Writing on the CIS website in an article titled “The Art of the Choke,” CIS Executive Director Mark Krikorian said that the enforcement component of the plan “is fine, as far as it goes. There’s no E-Verify, but the White House decided months ago not to push that, thinking it would be a bridge too far for Democrats, since it impacts illegals who are already here.   Continue reading “Trump’s Immigration Plan: Two Million Amnesty “Bigger than Obama’s””

In addition to “officer safety,” another de facto capital offense in this country is “failure to comply.”

This past fall, a Northern Virginia man named Bijan Ghaisar was executed by armed government workers after a brief car chase. Apparently, the man had been involved in a minor accident – no injuries and he wasn’t the driver who caused the accident –  but he left the scene regardless. It’s possible he had an expired license or some other thing on his mind and feared (rightly) what the “heroes” might do to him if he stuck around. Given the run-amokness of “heroes” these days, avoiding them is reasonable self-preservation.  Continue reading “Blown Away . . . for Not Complying”

He may be one of the most famous figures in history, but it appears the Google Home smart speaker doesn’t know who Jesus is.

At least, that’s according to several outraged users who have accused Google of deliberately filtering its results to fit its own agenda.

An irate customer who was upset about the price of an item started trashing a northwest Detroit Marathon gas station last month, prompting manager Sadek Kaid to dial 911.

When the police didn’t respond after several minutes, Kaid said he hit redial and asked why.

“The dispatcher said, ‘It’s because you don’t have the Green Light,’ ” Kaid said. “The customer was in here destroying the store, throwing everything off the shelves. He was here for almost an hour before he left. When the police finally came, they told us the Green Light locations get priority.”   Continue reading “Some businesses question fairness of Green Light effort”

The company that sold cellphone tracking devices to the Delaware State Police believes officers are barred from telling state elected officials about the portable surveillance gadgets, according to a document revealed in a lawsuit between the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware and the state.

Two years ago, a legal challenge to an open records request showed the FBI had prohibited state police from releasing details to anyone outside of law enforcement about the controversial devices, called Stingrays.   Continue reading “In ‘mythical’ agreement, Stingray maker says DSP can’t share details with lawmakers”

Thirty states and the District of Columbia currently have laws broadly legalizing marijuana in some form. The herb has been shown to have significant therapeutic value for a wide range of medical conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, glaucoma, lung disease, anxiety, muscle spasms, hepatitis C, inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis pain. The community of Americans who rely on legal medical marijuana was estimated to be 2.6 million people in 2016 and includes a variety of mainstream constituency groups like veterans, senior citizens, cancer survivors, and parents of epileptic children. Unlike patented pharmaceuticals, which are now the leading cause of death from drug overdose, there have been no recorded deaths from marijuana overdose in the US. By comparison, alcohol causes 30,000 deaths annually, and prescription drugs taken as directed are estimated to kill 100,000 Americans per year.   Continue reading “How Uncle Sam Launders Marijuana Money”

In theory, the Baltimore Police Department’s now-defunct Gun Trace Task Force was an elite unit dedicated to finding illegal guns. In practice, prosecutors say, it was an armed robbery and extortion conspiracy carried out under color of law. Its members allegedly used their police powers to detain people, take their money, and keep it.

Two of those members are currently on trial. Another six have pled guilty and agreed to testify for the prosecution.   Continue reading “Baltimore Cops on Trial for a Criminal Conspiracy That Looks a Lot Like Everyday Policing”

At the end of World War II, one of America’s top military leaders accurately assessed the shift in the balance of world power which that war had produced and foresaw the enormous danger of communist aggression against the West. Alone among U.S. leaders he warned that America should act immediately, while her supremacy was unchallengeable, to end that danger. Unfortunately, his warning went unheeded, and he was quickly silenced by a convenient “accident” which took his life.   Continue reading “Patton On Communism And The Khazar Jews”

There are only two possible explanations for our first construction fail on the list. Either, this architect is an extreme nature conservationist or he’s simply got it wrong.   Continue reading “Some Of The Most Epic Construction Fails Of All Time”

The emailed response from the Guggenheim’s chief curator to the White House was polite but firm: The museum could not accommodate a request to borrow a painting by Vincent van Gogh for President and Melania Trump’s private living quarters.

Instead, wrote the curator, Nancy Spector, another piece was available, one that was nothing like “Landscape With Snow,” the 1888 van Gogh rendering of a man in a black hat walking along a path in Arles, France, with his dog.   Continue reading “The White House asked to borrow a van Gogh.
