ICE operation uncovers fraud in half of immigration cases | Blaze Media
ICE operation uncovers fraud in half of immigration cases | Blaze Media:
On Tuesday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edlow announced the results of Operation Twin Shield. The operation — a targeted immigration and citizenship enforcement effort in Minneapolis and St. Paul — found that nearly 50% of cases involved immigration fraud.
Let's not forget what democrat leaders are telling their voters!-----Rep Jeffries today: “Bigotry will get you nowhere.”
How about his own bigotry? - Mark Paoletta@MarkPaoletta
Let’s take a walk down memory lane.
- Jeffries specifically endorsed his uncle Professor Leonard Jeffries’ racist antisemite views: “African Americans are warm, humanistic ‘sun people’ & European Americans are cold, materialistic ‘ice people.’ People of African descent, Jeffries states, have ‘core spiritual values’ that people of European descent lack."..
- Hakeem also endorsed Professor Jeffries’ claim that there was a “conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood, where people called Greenburg and Weisberg . . . put together a system of destruction for black people.”..
- @RepJeffries stated that Justice Clarence Thomas, General Colin Powell and Professor Shelby Steele are “House Negroes” because of their views.
J.K. Rowling on X: "I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this...
...so I want to make a couple of points. - J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
...Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology...
However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public...
Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is.
- She'll never need a homeless shelter.
- She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward.
- I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood.
- Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door.
- Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool?
- Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service?
- To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?...Read it all!
Did the FBI SHADOW BAN Charlie Kirk? Censorship EXPOSED | Blaze Media
Did the FBI SHADOW BAN Charlie Kirk? Censorship EXPOSED | Blaze Media:
In a relentless pursuit of the truth, Matt Kibbe and Matt Taibbi have uncovered blatant collusion between former president Biden’s government and Big Tech during the COVID-19 pandemic to censor the accounts of Americans, including Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and Dan Bongino, among others.
A worthy read!-----How Evil is normalised - UnHerd
It is not enough to avert one’s eyes - Jacob Howland
It’s been a dark and depressing month.
One awful week stands out.
- On 5 September, the Charlotte Area Transit System released a video of the murder of Iryna Zarutska on a city train. The images of Zarutska’s cowled murderer, towering over her from behind as he plunged the knife, and of the alarmed and pleading look she gave him after his first strike, are unforgettable.
- The next day, Israel made publicly available 22 minutes of horrific footage, much of it recorded by Hamas terrorists, from the 47-minute documentary shown in private screenings to journalists and diplomats after the October 7 pogrom.
- Then, three days later, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front of his wife and child..
One common denominator in all of these events was the impulse to explain or “contextualise” them in ways that minimise their horror.
- After 9/11, for instance, I heard a Muslim student say that the hijackers just wanted to “start a conversation” with the West.
- After 10/7, an expert on sexual violence excused her public silence about the rape and torture of Israeli women because, she told me, such atrocities are “happening every day” around the globe.
- The Charlotte mayor responded to the murder of Zarutska, an utterly innocent victim, by calling for “compassion” for homeless criminals like the man who stabbed her...
Whatever else all this might mean, these responses serve to distract us from addressing the real issue: the problem of Evil...
'TrumpRx': President's latest deal predicted to cut prescription drug costs for Americans * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'TrumpRx': President's latest deal predicted to cut prescription drug costs for Americans * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
The report said, "Increasing access to direct-to-consumer prescription plans was a central pillar of Trump's "most favored nation" executive order in May, which was intended to reduce U.S. drug prices in parity with other developed countries."
Trump's goal was triggered by the fact Americans pay three times more for brand name prescriptions than do people in other developed countries, the White House has revealed.
Oh, the Suffering!
Have you heard how young people suffer now? - John Stossel
It's part of progressives' campaign for socialism.
- One popular meme says when baby boomers like me were young, "A family could own a home, a car and send their kids to college, all on one income."
- Yes, homes cost more now, but census data show more Americans own their homes now than when I was a kid. And today's homes are much bigger and twice as likely to have central air, dishwashers, garbage disposals, etc...
- Today, Americans actually spend a smaller percentage of our money on food, clothing and housing than we used to, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics survey data...
- Few people flew places for vacation. They didn't have the money, and flying cost much more. Adjusted for inflation, a cross-country flight cost $1,000. Now it's about $300."People did not just go on vacation," says Michel, "did not fly all across the country."
It's part of progressives' campaign for socialism.
They tell young people: Not only does capitalism foster greed, inequality, etc., but it doesn't even deliver the goods...
The 'Chosen Family' Trope Cheapens Relationships
The danger of the ‘chosen family’ trend is not that it elevates profound friendships, but that it cheapens or even demonizes true familial relationships. - Catherine Gripp
- Three men in a polyamorous relationship in Québec, Canada made recent headlines when they legally adopted a three-year-old girl...
While two of the men are officially considered her parents, the third is pursuing recognition as a third parent, which a 2025 ruling from the Québec superior court reportedly could enable him to gain.
- Closer to home, California’s “Change of Name and Gender and Sex Identifier Act” signed by Gov. Newsome, D-CA last month added yet another brick to the Babel-like tower of legislation undermining parental agency and authority. The sunshine state’s recent legislation limits and undermines parents’ authority to object to children legally changing their name to match their perceived “gender identity.”...
September 29, 2016 - Political Correctness: Word Police Want More Than Your Words - Intellectual Takeout
Engaging in political discussion on Facebook is never a good idea. - Jon Miltimore
“You know better,” I wrote. “Trump just has you wound up.”
- But when a dear friend of mine began clogging my news feed with stories alleging the real estate mogul currently running for president rapes children, I couldn’t resist.
“You know better,” I wrote. “Trump just has you wound up.”
- She admitted she was wound up. But she then proceeded to explain that it was “borderline sexist” to say so.
Hegseth vows to restore warrior ethos and end woke military | Blaze Media
Hegseth vows to restore warrior ethos and end woke military | Blaze Media:
In a highly anticipated in-person speech to nearly every general and admiral in the U.S. military, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth laid down his marker: the warrior ethos must once again define America’s armed forces. A great nation needs a great military. That is his aim.
The audience mattered. Senior officers have lived for decades under politicized leadership that drained readiness and morale.
Send in the DOGE boys!-----A government shutdown isn't really a shutdown. Most federal employees are still working and will get paid.
The federal government continues paying its biggest bills during a shutdown, and hundreds of thousands of federal employees get a belatedly paid vacation. - Jack Nicastro 
Some federal services and agencies might be put on hold, but the vast majority of the federal government, including all of its mandatory wealth transfers and obligatory payments, will remain unaffected.
During the shutdown, agencies that don't fund themselves or haven't received additional funding via a standalone bill must furlough non-excepted employees and stop their non-essential operations...
