Border Patrol Union President: Illegal Immigration Decline ‘Strictly’ Due to Trump | Fox Business
Border Patrol Union President: Illegal Immigration Decline ‘Strictly’ Due to Trump | Fox Business:
"“Whether you lean left, right, or you’re in the middle you have to be a fan of what he’s done for the border patrol, for the border security. He’s done more in first 100 days than the last two administrations have done in 16 years,” Brandon Judd, Border Patrol Union President and active border patrol agent told Stuart Varney during an interview on the FOX Business Network.
In March, there were more than 16,000 undocumented immigrants apprehended and illegal border crossings as a whole saw a 30 percent drop in February, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection."

'These Institutions Are Betraying Their Own Values'—Here's How Offended Students Seized Power on Campus - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"In the wake of the mob violence against Charles Murray at Middlebury College and Heather MacDonald at Claremont McKenna College, it's getting harder to deny that there is a censorship problem at American college campuses.
"In the wake of the mob violence against Charles Murray at Middlebury College and Heather MacDonald at Claremont McKenna College, it's getting harder to deny that there is a censorship problem at American college campuses.
"These cases are proliferating," Nicholas Christakis, the former head of Yale University's Silliman College, told Reason in an exclusive interview.
Christakis, readers will recall, faced his own mob of unfriendly students a year and a half ago, after his wife—an early childhood educator—sent a campus-wide email pushing back against the administration's opposition to offensive Halloween costumes.
The students implored Christakis to affirm that it was his job as an administrator to be their father figure on campus and provide a safe space where they would feel protected from emotional discomfort; when Christakis refused to do so—reasoning that learning is sometimes uncomfortable—they demanded his resignation.
The Yale incident happened in the fall 2015 semester. In retrospect, it almost looks like a high-water mark for the civil exchange of ideas.
..."If you look at these incidents over the last couple of years, we're seeing escalations, in my view," said Christakis.
Indeed, the escalation theory is getting harder and harder to deny.
...What's not obvious to Williams and Ceci, Christakis, Haidt, or any number of other defenders of classically liberal values, seems very obvious to a whole host of people who make excuses for the students..."

Something seriously wrong here!-----HARDOCP - NYC Teens More Interested in Video Games than Sex According to Study
"NYC teens have been trading in sexual adventures for more video game adventuring according to a Health Department study.
Instead of real life "Pok-e-mon", 45.6% of teens are spending 3 hours a day with their digital avatars staring at computer screens and smartphones.
The 3.9% rise from 2013 in video game consumption seems to coincide with a 4% reduction in teen sex and almost 4% reduction in teen alcohol consumption.
E-cigarettes and vaping has taken off with 15.9% of teens trying the latest fad but teen smoking reduced by 2.4%..."
America's "brown shirts"-----Berkeley Riot: Leftist Mob Violence Undermines Rule of Law | National Review
Berkeley Riot: Leftist Mob Violence Undermines Rule of Law | National Review
"The leftist mob has sown the wind.
Now, the whirlwind looms.
If the media accurately and comprehensively reported on leftist mob violence, it would see that a pattern has emerged:
On campus and in the streets, a violent or menacing core
This violent core is often surrounded and protected by a larger group of ostensibly “peaceful” protesters who sometimes cheer aggression wildly and then provide cover for the rioters, who melt back into the crowd.
After the riot, the polite progressives condemn the violence, urge that it not distract from the alleged rightness of the underlying cause, and then do virtually nothing to enforce the law and punish the offenders.
We’ve seen this play out time and again as mobs shut down campus speech, occupy campus buildings, and even assault innocent people — all without facing any real fear of arrest or meaningful punishment.
...Every single time the progressive establishment ignores, minimizes, or whitewashes leftist violence, it sows the wind.
Americans have watched mobs attack police and burn buildings in Baltimore, Ferguson, Charlotte, and Minneapolis.
They have watched mobs riot over politics and free speech in Middlebury, Berkeley, Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Is anyone at all shocked that when the police hang back, others will step into the void?
Leftists are fond of saying “violence begets violence.”
If we don’t restore the rule of law, we’ll all find out just how right they are."

DOE Takes On Green Energy Subsidies | The Daily Caller:
"Energy Secretary Rick Perry ordered a study Friday examining to what extent solar and wind power are hurting what the Trump administration considers reliable forms of coal power.
Perry, a Texas Republican who served as governor of an energy-rich state, wants the Energy Department to undergo a 60-day review of the energy grid to determine if green energy subsidies are hurting more reliable forms of energy like natural gas and coal."

Palestinians' Real Enemies: Arabs
Palestinians' Real Enemies: Arabs:
- The Arab heads of state and monarchs do not like to be reminded of how badly they treat Palestinians and subject them to discriminatory and apartheid laws.
It is not comfortable or safe to be a Palestinian in an Arab country. Scenes of lawlessness and anarchy inside Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank have also driven many residents to move to nearby cities and villages. Most refugees in the West Bank no longer live inside UNRWA-run camps.- Let us end where we began: with the Palestinian (non)leadership. What has it done to help its people in the Arab countries? Nothing. No Palestinian leader will urge an emergency session of the UN Security Council to expose the ethnic cleansing and killing of Palestinians in Arab countries. No Palestinian leader will demand that the international media and human rights organizations investigate the atrocities perpetrated by Arabs on their Palestinian brethren. We are sure to see more such criminal silence when Abbas meets with the president of the United States.
Palestinians living in refugee camps in the Arab world are facing ethnic cleansing, displacement, and death -- but their leaders in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are too busy tearing each other to pieces to notice or even, apparently, care much.
Between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas, it looks as if they are competing for the worst leadership, not the best. Clearly, neither regime gives a damn about the plight of their people in the Arab world..."

Islam’s ‘manufactured refugee crisis’ revealed
Islam’s ‘manufactured refugee crisis’ revealed:
"The entire Western world is being swamped by an Islamic invasion. But Muslims aren’t coming in uniforms and carrying guns. They’re arriving en masse with the assistance of Western governments.
Some call it refugee resettlement. Others simply believe it is just immigration. Few are willing to call it what it is – an “act of conquest,” according to traditional Islam.
One of those few is Paul Nehlen, producer and director of the new documentary “Hijrah: Radical Islam’s Global Invasion.” Nehlen is best known as the populist Republican who challenged House Speaker Paul Ryan in a primary campaign in 2016. In “Hijrah,” Nehlen provides a compelling examination of the issues surrounding immigration and terrorism he discussed during his bid for office.
Nehlen claims establishment media are complicit in covering up the truth about what Islam truly represents."

Pope Calls For "Open Borders", France's Le Pen Crushes Him With One Harsh Truth - Conservative 101:
"Pope Francis recently spoke out in favor of a globalist “open borders” policy that would allow the free flow of non-European migrants, including Muslims, into Europe. Leading French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who many have dubbed “France’s Trump,” recently spoke out against what the Pope said and leveled him with a painful truth.
Le Pen criticized the Pope for demanding “that states go against the interests of their own people by not placing conditions on the acceptance of significant numbers of migrants” "

NBC Sports Announcer GOES OFF: Calls US Flag and Air Force Flyover "Political" Stunt that Should Be "Kept Out of Sports":
Lead baseball writer for NBC Sports, Craig Calcaterra, tweeted out this attack on the US flag on Easter morning.
“Will you keep politics out of sports, please. We like sports to be politics-free”
Lead baseball writer for NBC Sports, Craig Calcaterra, tweeted out this attack on the US flag on Easter morning.
Democrats are so full of hate today that the American flag and military men and women in uniform are too “political” for them.
Calcaterra followed up the tweet with this jewel:
“Maybe a flag, in and of itself isn’t always political. A two-acre flag with a military flyover is saying something very specific, however.”

Economy warning!-----Economy flashing red as deflation reappears? - NetRight Daily
Economy flashing red as deflation reappears? - NetRight Daily-By Robert Romano
Don’t look now, but prices dropped 0.3 percent in March, led by a 3.2 percent drop in energy costs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Less food and energy, prices still fell slightly 0.1 percent.
This, as WTI Crude Oil remains well off its 2014 highs of $107 a barrel, now at about $53 a barrel.
In the meantime, auto sales were down 1.6 percent in March.
That corresponded with a drop in prices of cars, down 0.5 percent the past two months.
So, even with slightly lower prices, sales still took a hit.
Not a good sign.
So what you see is a softening of demand locally and also globally, reflected in the oil prices keeping to their post-China and emerging markets bubble correction..."

Mark Levin calls BS on the Left’s call to ‘preserve the Constitution’ from an Article V Convention
Mark Levin calls BS on the Left’s call to ‘preserve the Constitution’ from an Article V Convention:
"Earlier this week, Levin addressed a Huffington Post article by Fred Wertheimer, titled “The Battle to Preserve the Constitution,” that demagogues an Article V Convention of States as a “constitutional convention” where the Bill of Rights could be repealed … or some other such nonsense. The reality is the Left fears any changes to the Constitution that would rein in the massive federal government, and obstruct its agenda.
“We know the Left wants to leave things as they are because the Left wins,” Levin said. “The federal government represents their ideology.” But, as Levin discusses, there are some on the Right who are spreading misinformation about an Article V convention as well. "

"A recent article from Yahoo celebrating the decline of “muscular, classically chiseled male models” for men who are thinner with sunken chests and “beautiful faces” made me squirm.
Call me old-fashioned, but I like men who look like men.
I like men who act like men, walk like men, feel like men.
I like the brawn, the scruff, the musty scent, the power they exude when muscles ripple. That doesn’t mean they all have to look like a body builder, but they need to be a man who exudes strength.

I’ll never forget when I was in high school in the eighties, and I studied abroad in Germany. Not to knock the German men, but I noticed how scrawny and frail most of the guys were. Even as a 17-year-old girl, I found something inherently unattractive about it.
At the end of the summer, when I gathered with other American students before heading home, I was struck by the muscular stature of the young men, and something about them made me feel a sense of relief, as if I were truly coming home where I was safe.
I could finally breathe.
I was reminded of this recently when I went to visit my daughter at UNC Chapel Hill.
I couldn’t help but notice how the men had changed since I attended college there years ago.
So many looked skinny and soft.

Where are the muscles?” I asked my daughter..."
