'Dreamer' shutdown halts E-Verify, a key illegal immigration enforcement tool - Washington Times

'Dreamer' shutdown halts E-Verify, a key illegal immigration enforcement tool - Washington Times:

"One of the ironies of the immigration-fueled shutdown is that the government’s most powerful tool for weeding out illegal-immigrant workers was also shut down.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said E-Verify, the electronic system the government offers to businesses to check their employees’ work eligibility, is a casualty of the shutdown.
The shutdown was spurred by Democrats’ demands to legalize millions of illegal immigrant “Dreamers” in exchange for allowing the government to be funded for another four weeks. Efforts to strike a compromise on immigration stalled, so Democrats, joined by four Republicans, filibustered Friday to make good on their threat."

Hannity: Bombshell Memo on FISA Surveillance Shows Abuse of Power 'Far Worse Than Watergate' | Fox News Insider

Hannity: Bombshell Memo on FISA Surveillance Shows Abuse of Power 'Far Worse Than Watergate' | Fox News Insider:

"In his opening monologue Thursday night, Sean Hannity called for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to end his "witch hunt" following new revelations about U.S. government FISA surveillance abuses.
He pointed to a four-page memo circulating in Congress that allegedly reveals FISA abuses within the Department of Justice and FBI, which has been described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming.”
"Our sources are telling us that the abuse of power is far bigger than Watergate," Hannity said. "Remember, Watergate was a third-rate break-in. What we're talking about tonight is the systematic abuse of power, the weaponizing of those powerful tools of intelligence and the shredding of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights.""

Winner Of Most Ignorant Sign At The Angry Women’s March-Steve Russo

Facebook:

 "Winner Of Most Ignorant Sign At The Angry Women’s March
Alright dammit! I want to know who is to blame, I was never told we were burning witch grandmothers, where was I when all this was going on?
Let's count how many things are wrong with this. 

• First off, witches were never burned in the US or even in the Americas...
• If they're referring to the Salem Witch Trials, they were hanged not burned and that was done for political reasons not for witchcraft. 
• It was the #metoo of its time. Where the rule was that the accuser MUST be believed and the accused is automatically guilty..."

"STEPHEN L. CARTER: Amazon’s Utterly Predictable Game of Musical Chairs: The same cities that always get a seat are still in the competition for HQ2. Yawn.

Amazon released the list this week. And, like lots of people who’ve taken a look, I was left underwhelmed. Because what immediately struck me is how conventional it is. Amazon has pretty much picked the same finalists that any company with an eye toward building a new headquarters would pick..." Read on!

Judicial Watch: New Documents Reveal More Instances of Classified Information on Hillary Clinton’s Unsecure, Non-‘State.gov’ System - Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch: New Documents Reveal More Instances of Classified Information on Hillary Clinton’s Unsecure, Non-‘State.gov’ System - Judicial Watch:

"“The fact that Hillary Clinton and her agents tried to destroy or hide emails shows how she flagrantly and knowingly violated the laws that protect classified information and government records,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And these new emails refute Hillary Clinton’s repeated claims of having little or no knowledge about her email system.  She clearly was fully in charge of setting up her outlaw email system and overseeing its use. When will the Justice Department act?”
Last year, the FBI uncovered 72,000 pages of documents Clinton attempted to delete or did not otherwise disclose. Until the court intervened and established a new deadline, the State Department had been slow-walking the release of those documents at a rate that would have required Judicial Watch and the American people to wait until at least 2020 to see all the releasable Clinton material."

Trump Releases New Ad: Democrats 'Complicit in Every Murder Committed by Illegal Immigrants' - Breitbart:
"Democrats are “complicit” in illegal immigrant violent crime and murder so long as they continue blocking funding for a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and hold up negotiations on pro-American immigration reforms, President Trump’s new campaign ad states.
The ad was released a day after Senate Democrats voted to shut down the federal government because the spending bill to keep the government open did not include amnesty for at least 3.5 million illegal aliens, as Breitbart News reported....

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CABRERA: "...if you turn on any conservative media, they keep talking about this Nunez memo, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, that he's put out there and many Republicans have taken a look at it and they want it made public. Can you tell us what exactly is it?"
SCHIFF: "It is essentially a set of talking points that the Republican Intel staff drafted...

"WHAT FEMINISM HAS DONE TO RELATIONSHIPS, IN A NUTSHELL: 
“Couple this with the fact that as women get on average more educated there are fewer hypergamically-eligible males at every SES, and you have the jaws of a vicious vise. 
It’s especially hard on high-status women and low-status men. 
The main beneficiaries are high-status men, who often behave like entitled assholes because the new rules tilt the playing field in their favor even more than the old ones did. . . ."--Posted by Glenn Reynolds at 10:01 pm

Suppose you live in America's most liberal state. Now suppose you live in the state known as "poverty capital of America." But I repeat myself. - AEI:
The table...shows US states ranked for two different measures of poverty: 
a) the official measure of poverty and 
b) the Census Bureau’s recently introduced (2011) Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which accounts for each state’s cost-of-living, housing costs, utilities, medical costs and taxes. 
It also considers non-cash government assistance as a form of income and is therefore considered a more accurate measure of poverty than the official rate..."

Will DC connections get Clapper out of a perjury indictment?:
"In DC, perjury is not simply tolerated, it is rewarded.
In a city of made men and women, nothing says loyalty quite as much as lying under oath.
Former National Intelligence Director James Clapper is about celebrate one of the most important anniversaries of his life.
March 13th will be the fifth anniversary of his commission of open perjury before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
More importantly, it also happens to be when the statute of limitations runs out — closing any possibility of prosecution for Clapper.
As the clock runs out on the Clapper prosecution...
The fact is that perjury is not simply tolerated, it is rewarded, in Washington.
...Even in a city with a notoriously fluid notion of truth, Clapper’s false testimony was a standout..."

"This weekend women across the country are dusting off their pussyhats for another march for women.
Rallies are scheduled for January 20 and 21 on the anniversary of the Women’s March on Washington.
It was the largest single day protest in American history and everyone is still trying to figure out what their actual grievances were. 
It was in fact an Anti-Trump protest in pink clothing.
It has been a year since grown women dressed like giant vaginas and carried illustrated signs that read: ‘Get Your Politics Out of my Pussy’; ‘The Pussy is watching’; ‘My Pussy My Choice’; ‘Stay Cunty’; ‘Pussy Trumps Tyranny’; ‘Not My Pussydent’; ‘Fear The Pussy’; ‘Viva la Vulva’ and other signs with the words; cunt, twat, and fuck.
Celebrities ranted about menstrual blood, blowing up the White House and gave speeches praising traitors, terrorists, and cop killers.
These self-proclaimed defenders of women’s rights hold on to their bottomless pit of hatred against the president despite their own leaders being exposed as exploiters of other women..."
