Homeland Security Sets the Record Straight About Those German Teens Who Were ‘Deported’ From Hawaii Madeline Leesman Madeline Leesman

“Another false narrative. These travelers weren’t deported—they were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses,” the agency asserted.
However, the teens’ journey was abruptly derailed when Border Protection realized that the girls did not book their accommodations for the duration of their visit in Hawaii...
The teens were questioned for hours at the Honolulu Airport and were then placed in a holding cell, where they stayed overnight. 
The following morning, the teens learned that they were denied entry to the United States. 
  • The New York Post shared the story on X. 
  • Shortly after, DHS responded to the story directly.
“Another false narrative. These travelers weren’t deported—they were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses,” the agency asserted.
  • “One used a Visitor visa, the other the Visa Waiver Program. Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work—something strictly prohibited under U.S. immigration laws for these visas,” they added.

Goebbels would be proud!

Trump Press Secretary takes aim at Democrats supporting suspected MS-13 illegal | Fox News

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Monday after he admitted that his trip to El Salvador to meet a deported illegal immigrant was paid for by taxpayers. Van Hollen took heat from Republicans and one of his constituents, Angel Mom Patty Morin, after he flew to El Salvador in an effort to bring home deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom the White House maintains is an MS-13 gang member.

OUTRAGEOUS: Soros-Backed County Attorney Says Member of Tim Walz Administration Won't Face Criminal Charges For Vandalizing at Least 6 Teslas - Police Blast Decision! | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.
Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla...
He’s accused of causing $20K+ in damages across the Twin Cities.
The kicker: Adams works as a Fiscal Policy Analyst for the State of Minnesota

Adams was arrested last week but he likely won’t face any real consequences because the corrupt Hennepin County attorney won’t seek criminal charges...

Pentagon review of close combat training standards is long overdue * WorldNetDaily * by Elaine Donnelly, Real Clear Wire

Pentagon review of close combat training standards is long overdue * WorldNetDaily * by Elaine Donnelly, Real Clear Wire

Ten years have passed since the Department of Defense initiated a social experiment with women in the military. Pentagon officials promised that female trainees headed for previously all-male combat arms units would have to meet the exact same standards as men.  Has the experiment played out as promised? We are about to find out. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's March 30 Memorandum calls for a 60-day review to achieve high, uncompromised standards in combat arms units such as the infantry, Special Operations, and other occupations with extraordinary physical demands.

Have You Heard of This 'Dark Woke' Phenomenon?

As liberals try to get their groove back, some party insiders say Democratic politicians have been encouraged to embrace a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump’s no-holds-barred version of politics. - Jeff Charles
  • Online, it has a name: “Dark woke.”...
And which Democrat darling best exemplifies the “Dark Woke” trope today?
Yep, you got it: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), the low-rent AOC who is more interested in snappy sound bites and cringeworthy performances on the House floor than actually pushing policy...
  • She famously told Elon Musk to “f*** off” and ranted about “white tears.”... 
Just take a quick look at her pretending to be a “very serious lawmaker” because she is “truly a black woman.”

In Michigan we have a lot of money, so much so we can afford to give $259 Million in subsidies for a mega-site in Flint that has no owner and no promised number of jobs for the program.- Metro Detroit Crime Report

GOVERNOR WHITMER GIVES $259 MILLION IN FREE CASH FOR JOBS THAT DON'T EXIST - TO A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T EXIST - DESTROYING WETLANDS IN THE PROCESS 
That's right, a contractor named Maple & Hill LLC is currently doing work on more than 1,300 acres of land in Genesee County for a project that promises jobs...we just don't know how many from a company, or companies ... that we just don't know who they are...
“If there’s $259 million spent and there’s no buyer, then what? Depending on how far they get with the site prep, now you can’t farm the land and there’s no factory with these alleged jobs,” Mooney said. “But if you don’t have a buyer, how do you know how many jobs there will be?”...

Judge Boasberg Realizes It's Over, Admits He's Powerless to Stop Trump Deportations

A federal judge on Friday said he cannot stop deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, although the Supreme Court has halted deportations for now. U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg said he could not grant the American Civil Liberties Union an emergency order it wanted to stop deportations.

State to Delay Driver’s License Renewals Two Years to Help DMV Catch Up

Michael Smith - I have saved this 2011 quote from Glenn Reynolds

“The problem we have is that our “elites” — a reader keeps telling me that “gentry” is a better term, and he’s right — aren’t really elite. 
That is, they’re not actually especially smart or well-educated or competent. 
That’s not the sort of elitism that commands respect, which is why it’s not getting so much anymore, as people catch on.” 
When I think about it, you can lay this problem at the feet of the very people who caused it - the global "elite" - many are among the WEF wankers, the globalists, the academics and intelligentsia who want to rule the world...

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden's 'Domestic Terrorism' Document: What 'Terrorists' Did He Have in Mind?

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden's 'Domestic Terrorism' Document: What 'Terrorists' Did He Have in Mind?

In fact, the report throughout refers to “domestic terrorism” with the initials “DT” — which just happen to be the initials of the man Democrats and the Biden administration considered their biggest political threat. (As now-President Donald Trump’s massive victory in November proved, they were right about that, at any rate.)

The democrat party today!

 


The Gates of Vienna have fallen - American Thinker

The Gates of Vienna have fallen - American Thinker - Andrea
I’ve had sitting on my computer for a few days an essay by Rod Dreher, an American conservative who now lives in Hungary, the only country in Europe making a stand for traditional values and refusing to accept unlimited Islamic immigration. 
From his perch in Hungary, Dreher has written about his conversations with ordinary Europeans, who believe that civil war is imminent, a war that will see those who share European values arrayed against those who have embraced leftism and Islam.
Dreher’s essay opens by telling readers about a hugely popular podcast entitled “The Coming British Civil War.” 
On it, David Betz, a King’s College, London, professor who is an expert on civil wars, opines that the UK is on the verge of a civil war. 
Writes Dreher:
Betz argues that the United Kingdom now has all the traditional hallmarks of a society on the verge of violent civil conflict. He mentions the collapse of faith in British institutions, the two-tier justice system, Islamic radicalization, and the polarization wrought by official multiculturalism, among other factors.
The UK is not the only European nation that is being driven to the breaking point by the stresses that the ruling elites have placed upon their ancient cultures. 
  • The same is true in France, where the ruling class has conveniently decided to lock away Marine Le Pen, the one person who is currently standing athwart the French political system yelling “Stop.”
  • Meanwhile, in Germany, the AfD party, which opposes unlimited Muslim immigration, is being blackballed, blacklisted, and sidelined. European elites, just like America’s Democrats, believe that “democracy” applies only to votes for their people and policies...

Kind of you might expect from a "woke therapist".

 


How No-Consequence Schooling Turns Kids Into Killers

We lower expectations, excuse bad behavior, and pretend that endless second chances build character. But they don’t. - Tillman Plank 
Earlier this month, 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a track meet in Frisco, Texas...
Some have tried to make this about race — Metcalf was white, Anthony was black. 
But let’s not make this about race. 
This is about human decency and the culture that has eroded it.
A dangerous mindset has won over many young men today. 
  • It tells them that nothing really matters — burn it all down and take what you can. 
  • It demands respect while offering none in return
  • It scoffs at authority, mocks standards, and justifies any action that serves one’s immediate desires. 
I have seen this mindset spread in my years working at a relatively well-off suburban high school down the road from Metcalf’s school. 
Countless examples come to mind.
Students today know they can get away with almost anything. Last year, a 16-year-old student-athlete pushed me, cursed me out, and walked out of class. 
A few days later, I sat across from him in the assistant principal’s office. The assistant principal gave him candy and spoke to him like he was an upset eight-year-old. His father tried to blame me for the altercation. After a half-hearted apology, the young man was allowed to return to class without a disciplinary referral.
This has been standard protocol in education for more than a decade...

Escalation Dominance

Taiwan’s energy vulnerabilities hand China the trump card in any conflict. - Doomberg
  • “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.” – Aesop
On November 21, 2024, Russia used established nuclear risk reduction channels to warn the US that it would soon launch a ballistic missile and that this launch should not be interpreted as a nuclear strike. Approximately 30 minutes later, the world was introduced to the Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile, allegedly capable of reaching Mach 10 speed. 
Russian President Vladimir Putin confidently asserted that the weapon, soon to enter mass production, is beyond the reach of any air defense system...
  • Among the many catastrophic consequences of the war in Ukraine is how close Russia and China have become on both economic and military fronts...
The new US Secretary of Defense certainly seems concerned:
“US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has raised alarms about China’s growing military capabilities. In particular, he pointed out the dangerous potential of China's hypersonic missiles, which could reportedly destroy US aircraft carriers in just 20 minutes. This bold claim highlights the changing landscape of modern warfare and the serious threat posed by these advanced missiles…
