Rep. Mike Gallagher Files Bill Giving Immigration Judges Contempt Authority. It’s About Time.

Rep. Mike Gallagher Files Bill Giving Immigration Judges Contempt Authority. It’s About Time.
"Ronald Reagan once quipped, “They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.”
That’s a lesson Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., proved on Jan. 29 with his simple, but much needed, bill to improve our overburdened immigration courts.
His bill, barely more than a page long, would fix a long-standing weakness of the immigration courts by giving immigration judges the power to hold lawyers and litigants in contempt if they disobey court orders or ignore deadlines.

• This would give immigration judges a power that every other state and federal trial court judge in the country has. 
• It also would address a big reason the immigration courts are crushed under enormous and seemingly irreducible caseloads.

Since the beginning of the year, 66,000 cases have been added to the backlog, which now sits at nearly 1.1 million cases..."

[WATCH] Massive Brexit Celebration Destroys Years-Long Media Gaslighting

[WATCH] Massive Brexit Celebration Destroys Years-Long Media Gaslighting-- 

BY MEGAN FOX FEBRUARY 1, 2020

"For years after the people of Britain voted to exit their alliance with the European Union and reclaim their sovereignty as a nation the media has been selling us the narrative that a vast majority of the population regretted it almost immediately. 

They told these stories over and over while pro-EU politicians and their minions in the press scrambled for any way to remain and ignore the will of the people. 

Here's a sampling of those reports from a Google search.

• Why many British voters are having Brexit regrets PBS 2017
• Is Britain swept by Brexit regret? Eurnonews 2018
• YouGov poll: Brexit regret is at its highest ever, Business Insider 2019
• Poll: A majority of British regret voting for Brexit, Business Insider 2018
• Does Britain regret Brexit? Crisis and Confusion, NZ Herald 2018

You get the point....

...Here's the real reaction by actual British people (and not the ones "polled" no one ever seems to know) to Britain finally leaving the EU. 

I particularly love Big Ben chiming in the background. 

It sounds like freedom...

AcquittalFo’Shizzle.357@ASimplePatriot

Brexit celebration!

Once again, the media has been caught gaslighting you and they've been doing it on this subject (and lots of others) for years. Check out the following screengrabs of this shell game.

 

...If this disconnect between the actual public reaction of tens of thousands of people celebrating in the street and the fake public reaction the media tries to sell doesn't convince you that fake news is one of the greatest threats to freedom that we face, nothing will. 
They're straight-up lying to you. 
Major media has become nothing but shameless collaborators with big government, globalist, leftists. 

Do you see it yet?

The Oslo blood libel is over - www.israelhayom.com

• When you read the Trump plan closely, you realize it is a mirror image of the Oslo Accords. 
• Rather than Israel being required to prove its good will, the Palestinians are required to prove their commitment to peace.

"From 1994 through 1996, as a captain in the IDF, I served as a member of Israel's negotiating team with the PLO.
Those years were the heyday of the so-called peace process.
As the coordinator of negotiations on civil affairs for the Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, I participated in all of the negotiating sessions with the Palestinians that led to a half a dozen or so of agreements...
Throughout the period of my work, I never found any reason to believe the peace process I was a part of would lead to peace.
The same Palestinian leaders who joked with us in fancy meeting rooms in Cairo and Taba breached every commitment they made to Israel the minute the sessions ended..."

Joni Ernst: Obama's Actions More Impeachable Than What Trump Did

Joni Ernst: Obama's Actions More Impeachable Than What Trump Did:

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) argued Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Barack Obama’s open mic moment in 2012, when Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev “after my election I have more flexibility,” was more impeachable than President Donald Trump’s actions in Ukraine.

72 Terrible Things Global Warming Will Apparently Cause | PSI Intl

"As everyone knows global warming will kill us all in as little as 12, 11, 10 years.
But it’s actually way worse than that.
Global warming — caused of course by corporate greed/gas guzzling SUVs/supersized hamburgers/greedy, fat, stupid Americans, etc. — is being predicted to cause all manner of disaster.
Scientists eager to terrify people into taking them seriously have over the last several decades made a series of frightful predictions.
For example, did you know man-made global warming will result in more miscarriages in Bangladesh? It’s true, the BBC said so.
Or that our changing climate — again due almost exclusively to our rampant consumerism and the overwhelming influence of the Big Straw lobby — will result in fewer circumcisions in some African tribes? Scientists say it’s so!
Some of these predictions, however, somehow never came to pass. For example, scientists in 2007 warned that the arctic would be “ice free” by 2013, yet today are trying to figure out why arctic ice is instead increasing.
Man-made climate change was also predicted to kill thousands of Brits — by 2018. Whoops.
To keep track of these scientists’ most bizarre, and most terrifying, doomsday prophesies, we’ve started the news list below. And as you already know, 97 percent of scientists agree you should read it, bookmark it, and share it with it with your friends.

Today's liberals dream of a workerless paradise - UnHerd:

• A new book argues that that both Left and Right are now engaged in class war — against the poor

"... The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Metropolitan Elite, which argues that “Demagogic populism is a symptom. Technocratic neoliberalism is the disease”. 
Lind says that Western society feels as if it is coming apart and this is a delayed consequence of the working class losing the political power it possessed for much of the twentieth century. 
“The Cold War has been followed by the class war”, writes Lind. 
This is a war that is being waged against the working class by an ascendant caste of university-credentialed professional elites.

“Social power exists in three realms — government, the economy, and the culture,” writes Lind. 

“All three realms of Western society today are fronts in the new class war.” 

We see this class war being waged over everything from Brexit to the election of Donald Trump to the rise of an activist judiciary. 

And despite the recent populist backlash one side remains firmly on top..."
