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.

Judge Boasberg Realizes It's Over, Admits He's Powerless to Stop Trump Deportations
Judge Boasberg Realizes It's Over, Admits He's Powerless to Stop Trump Deportations:
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?:
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 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.”
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...
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.
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.
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...

NY Gov. Hochul looks to free violent criminals to mask prison staffing disaster she fueled: Report | Blaze Media
NY Gov. Hochul looks to free violent criminals to mask prison staffing disaster she fueled: Report | Blaze Media:
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) reportedly wants to release some violent criminals as the state battles a severe prison staffing crisis.
Last month, Department of Corrections Commissioner Daniel Martuscello III announced that the state had fired 2,000 corrections officers for participating in an "illegal" 22-day strike. Prior to the walkout, the state's prison system was already understaffed by roughly 2,000, according to Hochul.
Stopping the junk-science propaganda!-----Trump WH Scrubbing Climate 'Claptrap' From Agency Websites, But Much More To Do - Climate Change Dispatch
A progress report on purging the climate scam from federal websites. - Francis Menton
Trump 1.0 did a remarkably poor job of taking control of communications on the climate issue on websites like those of the EPA, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Transportation.
Are they doing any better this time?
They have definitely taken some significant steps to address this issue here in the early weeks of the new administration.
For example, on April 15, the Guardian ran a piece with the headline “Green groups sue Trump administration over climate webpage removals.”

Preventing war much better than "winning" war!-----What Chinese pressure on Taiwan means for the US
A top U.S military commander warned lawmakers over China’s significantly increased military activity near Taiwan, calling the actions a “rehearsal” for an impending invasion.

Federal Judge Lets Trump Block Funding of Lawyers for Migrants
Federal Judge Lets Trump Block Funding of Lawyers for Migrants:
A federal judge has reversed a lower court judge’s decision to force the government to continue supplying illegal migrants with taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin had earlier ruled in Oakland, California, that President Donald Trump was not allowed to stop taxpayer funding for progressive groups that provided legal advice to illegal aliens facing deportation.
Remember! The grants END if there's no catastrophe!-----From CO2 to Social Justice: The Guardian’s Climate Gospel Goes Full Cult Charles Rotter
A new revelation from the high temple of emotional climatology: climate change is no longer about physics, but “a crisis of justice.” 
Yes, really. The headline of Friederike Otto’s latest opus in The Guardian shrieks like an undergraduate activist with a bullhorn: “Climate change is not just a problem of physics but a crisis of justice.”
Because when your models don’t model reality, and your predictions flop harder than a tofu burger at a Texas BBQ, simply pivot the narrative—from science to sociology...

“My research as a climate scientist is in attribution science.

Attribution science, for the uninitiated, is the art of retroactively blaming the atmosphere’s every sneeze on Western industry, by way of probabilistic hand-waving wrapped in opaque jargon.
