Trump doubles down on expected ICE raid amid pushback from local Dem politicians | Fox News
Trump doubles down on expected ICE raid amid pushback from local Dem politicians | Fox News:
President Trump on Saturday warned that illegal immigrants apprehended in an upcoming roundup by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “broke the law” and will be deported -- even as local Democratic politicians are promising to oppose the operation.
“The people that ICE will apprehend have already been ordered to be deported. This means that they have run from the law and run from the courts,” he tweeted. “These are people that are supposed to go back to their home country. They broke the law by coming into the country, & now by staying.”

Why Won’t Left-Wing Sanctuary Cities Welcome The Diversity Of Asylum Seekers? | The Daily Caller:
Talk about great news for blue America. The left tells us that all immigration is good. More immigration is better. There is no distinction between legal and illegal varieties of immigration. If you disagree with any of this, you’re a white nationalist. That’s what they’ve said almost every day for the last two years.
And now, completely out of the blue, comes the man they despise most in the world, Donald J. Trump, offering them what they want more than anything: more immigrants, immediately, delivered right to their door at federal expense. It must have been like Christmas morning.

Black intellectuals surprise Democrats by telling them who owes the tab on reparations
"House Democrats thought they had an easy issue for rallying the black vote: bringing up reparations for slavery as an election issue and holding congressional hearings.
What better way to rally coveted black voters than to hold out a big pile of reparations money along with lot of talk about victimization derived from evils committed in the past?
It didn't work out the way they thought it would..."

There were also those who asked for a good look at just who was behind slavery, creating a very uncomfortable subject for Democrats:
U.S. gov't did not own slaves. Republicans did not own slaves. Democrats did. Democrats passed and enforced Jim Crow. Democrats founded the KKK. Slavery ended 150 yrs ago and lasted, after America became a country, for 78 yrs. To pay for #reparations, will dems sue themselves?
Trump’s Sanctions On Iran Demolishes Hezbollah Financial Network
Trump’s Sanctions On Iran Demolishes Hezbollah Financial NetworkGottfried Von Leibniz 1649 "Brian Hook, U.S. Special Representative for Iran and senior policy adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, recently told the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and International Terrorism that the sanctions on Iran have made it difficult for the Islamic Republic to expand its military capabilities and continue funding proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Tehran-allied Shiite militiamen in Iraq.
In January 2018, Forbes designated Hezbollah the wealthiest terrorist group in the world with an annual income of $1.1 billion, generated primarily by “aid funding from Iran, drug manufacture, and trade.”
Hezbollah controls the lucrative drug trade and money laundering activities across the Western Hemisphere, particularly Latin America, according to U.S. government sources.
Still, it receives over $700 million a year – around 60% of its revenue, from Iran.
Hook told House lawmakers that Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Tehran has forced “Hezbollah and Hamas” to enact “unprecedented austerity plans due to a lack of funding from Iran.”..."

Blunders By Democrats And Capitol Police Enabled What Prosecutors Call The ‘Largest Data Theft In Senate History’ | The Daily Caller
A rogue Democratic aide stole a massive trove of political data and used it to harm Republicans by “doxxing” them in what prosecutors call the “largest data theft in Senate history.”
The theft was made possible, and could have been much worse, because of myriad blunders by the Capitol Police and multiple Democratic congresswomen.
A Conservative Resistance? – American Greatness
A Conservative Resistance? – American Greatness
"...#TheResistance began as an attempt by Clinton and her staffers to explain why their unexpected electoral defeat had to be illegitimate.
It burgeoned quickly into rejection of rule by voters...
Clinton’s characterization of Trump voters as “deplorables” and “irredeemables” and Barack Obama’s description of rural Republican voters as “clingers” to Bibles, guns, and racism, has long been ruling-class conventional wisdom.
This attitude is what crossed the threshold of revolution.
...This attitude is not the result of a policy decision, but the expression of an evolving identity.
...we have the precedent of the Obama Administration refusing to enforce laws it disliked (defense of marriage, religious freedom restoration, illegal immigration), and ruling “with a pen and a phone” on the principle of “stop me if you can.”
With the advent of the Resistance, the ruling class merged with radical identity groups and has become dependent upon them for electoral success.
Because radical blacks, third-wave feminists, LGBTQ identitarians, etc. regard most Americans as enemies, given that “intersectionality”—i.e., concurrence in wreaking vengeance upon the rest of America—is what binds these disparate groups together, a victorious Democratic Party’s extra-legal rule will be far more noxious next time around..."

Democrat Operative Admits: We’ve Been Rigging Elections “for 50 Years”
Democrat Operative Admits: We’ve Been Rigging Elections “for 50 Years”
“It’s a very easy thing for Republicans to say, ‘Well, they’re bussing people in.’
Well, you know what?
We’ve been bussing people in to deal with you f*****g a******s for 50 years and we’re not going to stop now."
So said Scott Foval, until recently the national field director for left-wing group Americans United for Change.
The people he described so vulgarly are Republicans, and by “deal with” he was referring to committing vote fraud.
You know, that crime Democrats claim doesn’t exist...
...For more shocking evidence of how bad vote fraud has become, view the Fox News Sunday Morning Futures video below, which presents an investigation into the matter.
So how bad is vote fraud?
The Washington Post reported in 2014 on a study showing that non-citizen voters might have already tipped US elections in Democrats’ favor.
And the problem won’t go away if we just cede elections, say nice words, and abide by a rule of lawlessness."

Jerry Nadler kept calling Hope Hicks 'Ms. Lewandowski' during her congressional testimony: 'I'm preoccupied' - TheBlaze
Jerry Nadler kept calling Hope Hicks 'Ms. Lewandowski' during her congressional testimony: 'I'm preoccupied' - TheBlaze:
Three times, Nadler referred to Hicks as "Ms. Lewandowski." The third time it happened, Hicks finally corrected him.
The first mistake came when Nadler was asking Hicks if she was asserting any type of privilege, executive or otherwise, in declining to answer a question.
The second time it happened, Nadler caught himself.
"Ms. Lewandowski—sorry—Ms. Hicks, read the next two sentences if you also have it," Nadler said during the closed-door hearing.
The third time, Hicks had enough of being misidentified.

Black Education Decline--Walter E. Williams
Black Education Decline"New York Mayor Bill de Blasio says that the city's specialized high schools have a diversity problem.
He's joined by New York City Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza, educators, students and community leaders who want to fix the diversity problem.
I bet you can easily guess what they will do to "improve" the racial mix of students (aka diversity).
If you guessed they would propose eliminating the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test as the sole criterion for admissions, go to the head of the class.
...It's taken as axiomatic that the relatively few blacks admitted to these high-powered schools is somehow tied to racial discrimination.
...Here are questions that might be asked of de Blasio and others who want to "fix the diversity problem" at New York's specialized schools:
- What has the triumph of egalitarian and diversity principles done for the rest of New York's school system?
- Are their academic achievement scores better than students at New York's specialized schools?
- The most important question for black parents: What has been allowed to happen to cripple black academic excellence?

"...On Friday before President Trump decided not to drop bombs on Iran for knocking down a US drone, the President met with Congressional leaders in the White House to discuss the situation.
After the meeting, Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer from New York and Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, could be seen cheering outside the White House.
As they approached their cars, Schumer raised his hands in victory and Pelosi was smiling and cheering on Schumer.
The Democrat leaders clearly wanted President Trump to make a wrong move so they could criticize him endlessly for getting America into another bloody war.

They don’t care about protecting the US, standing for justice or protecting innocent lives.
It is clear that the Democrats are not about protection of human lives or what is best for the USA.
These leaders seek power.
What wicked people.
UPDATE: The liberal media says Schumer was dancing because he was overjoyed his mother had been released from hospital.
That’s what Schumer says.
OK."
Ross McKitrick: Apocalyptic rhetoric about extreme weather keeps ramping up. But experts say there’s no emergency | Financial Post
Ross McKitrick: Apocalyptic rhetoric about extreme weather keeps ramping up. But experts say there’s no emergency | Financial Post
"On June 7, I published an op-ed on this page telling the story of Roger Pielke Jr., a U.S. climate expert whose research on climate change and extreme weather didn’t support many of the alarmist slogans on the subject.
Despite his findings being squarely in the mainstream of his academic specialty, for stating them publicly Pielke Jr. was vilified, bullied and eventually harassed into quitting the field.
Conservative MP Lisa Raitt tweeted a link to my article.
As if to prove the point of the story, the climate mob quickly vilified, bullied and harassed her into deleting her tweet.
I wrote Lisa an open letter, hoping she would notice the pattern.
Legions of self-appointed “fact checkers” readily ignore even the most deranged exaggerations by politicians if they serve the cause of alarmism but will pile on aggressively and relentlessly against any efforts to bring evidence into the discussion.
But let us not be deterred.
The evidence is in the relevant sections of the past Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report, which I will now quote at length.
Read these paragraphs and ask yourself if the word “emergency” applies.
Ask yourself if it sounds anything like what you have been repeatedly told by our environment minister and the prime minister, who speak so often about these things.
...Apocalyptic rhetoric about extreme weather continues to ramp up as politicians try to menace Canadians into backing their climate policies.
Clip out this column, keep it close at hand, and quote from the experts when the occasion arises.
Just be prepared to be dismissed as a science denier."

THIS is such a great point from John -
John Smith: ".... why does ABC get to sit on this information for years, a coverup in essence, because they were protecting Obama, and then run it as news when they want to ruin Biden’s chances?
